Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 18- Employees' Meeting
Royce Miller's POV After I dropped Vera off at their house, I took a taxi and went straight home. No choice, my car's tire was flat so I was forced to commute. I think I'll just let Arthur fix it because I have office work tomorrow at META and I'll go back to being Reid. I looked at my watch and it was almost ten in the evening. As soon as I entered the sala, I saw dad and mom sitting on the sofa bed and I guessed they are waiting for me to come home. Maybe they have something very important to discuss with me. Dad sat on a four-leg clamp while mom was crossing her arms. I thought they were already asleep since they usually go to bed at eight. I approached them and kissed mom's cheek afterwards, I sat on the couch opposite them. The whole place was quiet so I'm sure the housemaids were already at their quarter and it's safe to talk about private matters. "Son, it's okay if you go out, but we were just worried because someone might find out the truth. So we need to be careful son.",
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 19- The New Chairman
Royce Miller's POV As the old saying goes, "You cannot serve two masters at the same time". You know that aside from META, I have something else to worry about and that is the real estate company. This might not be the right time to tell you this, because my son Reid is still in the process of recovery after his comatose, but I know as well that my son is capable of doing the responsibilities. For this, I made up my mind to hand over the entire management of META to him ", dad paused for a while. He looked around and smiled as everyone waits for what he will be saying next. "I am handing over my Chairmanship to the CEO of META, Mr. Reid Miller", dad said with a sense of pride in his voice as he met my gaze and gestured me to join him in the front. All their eyes were set on me and Walter who was sitting beside me, showed a grinning smile as he tapped my shoulder and started to clap his hands. A loud round of applause echoed throughout the place as I stood up and walked to the front
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 20- Job Application
Vera Anderson's POV After I told my brother about what happened at Perch, he gritted his teeth in anger like he wanted to crush down that Simon Morris. He did not also expect that Simon would do such thing to me because he had known him to be a sensible and trustworthy man, but those were only a pretense. And now that he was set free, Harold think of the possibility that Simon would get back to me and plan something even worse. "I'm just glad, you're okay sweetie or I'll become a criminal if something bad happened to you", Harold said and pulled me a hug. "I am forever thankful to Alexa, Vince, and Royce Miller for saving your life", my brother added. There were a lot more questions that my brother was asking from me and I don't have any other choice but to tell him what he ought to know. But of course, I did not mention to him about that kiss! Oh my gosh, that's too embarrassing! "So, what's going on between you and Royce? I mean is he courting you?", my brother asked while serio
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 21- For Final Review
Royce Miller's POV "Dude, Margaret is here and she wants to see you", Walter whispered in my ears. I told him to tell Margaret to wait for me in the reception area. Walter went back to his table and told the receptionist on the line about my instruction. Afterwards, he approached me again and I guess there's something he wanted to open up to me. He sat on the couch opposite to me and began to talk. Walter told me that even before he was hired as EA, Margaret wanted to work as Reid's assistant. In fact, she tried to convince Reid that having a female EA is more advisable and justifiable. But Reid did not listen to her and now that she heard about the promotion, she is again very eager to get the EA position. But the more shocking part which I heard from Walter is that Margaret has this "sexual appetite" towards my brother to the extent that she seduced Reid before to sleep with her. I could not believe it because Reid and I have treated her and Charles as our real cousins. "What if,
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 22- Job Interview
Vera Anderson's POV I was just lying in my bed while reading a pocketbook when I got a call from an unknown number. I hurriedly picked it up, thinking that it might be an important call. "Good afternoon ma'am. May I speak with Miss Vera Anderson?" said the woman on the line. "Yes ma'am, speaking." I softly answered. "This is Mrs. Thompson, of the HR Department. You are called for an interview tomorrow at ten in the morning at META. Please come in your formal attire and immediately proceed to the fifth floor before the time", the woman spoke again. "Uhm, yes ma'am. Thank you", I stuttered in great excitement. I couldn't believe what I heard but I know it wasn't a dream. I am called for an interview so it means, I passed the final review. It's really not easy to apply in META because of its high standards. In fact, many people wanted to work there but only those who truly deserved were being hired. "See you then Miss Vera. Good day!" "Good day ma'am. Thank you so much", I respon
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 23- CEO's New EA
Royce Miller's POV It was a beautiful morning as I woke up from a good sleep. I feel so eager to come to the office because today would be Vera's final interview. I still couldn't believe that she is one of those applicants I will see later at META. And thinking that a few hours from now, I'll be seeing her again, made me so excited. She doesn't have any idea how much I missed her as if I wanted the clock to turn fast, so the interview would come quickly at hand. "Am I already falling for her?" I asked myself. If this is love, then Vince was right, when he told me I'll gonna find my true love at the age of twenty-eight. "Vera", I whispered softly as I closed my eyes for a moment. I let her beautiful and innocent face flash in my mind. I shook my head because what I'm feeling right now is driving me crazy. I've been with plenty of women and I even slept with them but I did not think any of them like this but just for my erotic pleasure. I got up and took my towel because I'm afrai
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 24- Getting Hired
Vera Anderson's POV The time for the interview has finally come. I looked again at the sequence number and I was second to the last on the list. The receptionist told me that we are only thirty applicants so I am number twenty-nine. I am just hoping that this would gonna be my lucky number. While waiting for my name to be called, I kept on thinking why the woman named Margaret mistook me for someone else. She called me Andrea a while ago not only once but twice. But when I told her my name, I saw a sneering smile on her lips. I found out she is also an applicant here and she is number twenty-eight. I secretly looked at her who was sitting a little distant from me. I can say she is pretty and sexy in her above-the-knee maxi dress. But I think her attire is not fitted for a job interview. Anyway, it's her preference and if she's feeling comfortable with it then, that would be fine. One hour had passed, and I think twenty applicants were already interviewed. And as I looked at their
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 25- Confession
Royce Miller's POV Finally, Vera went out of my office. I was really afraid, I could not be able to control my feelings and kissed her. Everything seemed to be blocking every logical reasoning I had in mind but glad I did not give in. I could also sense she was nervous a while ago, but maybe because she was really thinking of me as Reid, who was known to be an intimidating person. Starting tomorrow Vera will be working here with me. And I could not help but worry if I could still be able to manage everything when I know she is just around in the office previously occupied by Walter. I leaned my back on the swivel chair and waited for the last applicant to come in. After a while, she entered the office, wearing a flirtatious smile on her lips. I thought I'd done encountering this kind of woman after Margaret went out, but here's another one who wants to flirt with me. Yet, it doesn't affect me anymore because right now, I only have one woman in my heart and mind. At last, I'm done w

Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO ~Epilogue~
"Congratulations Mr. Miller, your wife has delivered a baby boy and a baby girl!", the doctor smiled. "Wow! You have twins!", Vince and Alexa spoke together. "Thank you doctor", Royce said in excitement. "Congratulations bro!", Vince tapped Royce's shoulder and shook his hand. "You are now a Daddy bro!", Alexa chuckled. Soon after, they went inside the private room to see Vera. Royce kissed his wife passionately and held her hand gently. "You delivered a twin babe! Thank God! You are safe." "Congratulations Vera!", Vince said. "Gurl, congratulations! You are now a certified Mommy!", Alexa uttered and kissed Vera's cheek. "Thank you. How about you? Are you not planning to get pregnant?", Vera asked. Vince and Alexa looked at each other as if there was something they wanted to tell. "Gurl, what is it?", Vera asked in confusion. "Uhm, the truth is---I am one-month pregnant gurl!" "Oh really?", Vera exclaimed in surprise. "Wow, bro congrats!", Royce hugged Vince and tapped
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 106- A Proposal
Vera's POVOne week had passed after my last conversation with Royce yet the sting of our farewell was still present. I thought it would be easy for me but with each passing day, I felt an inexplicable sadness and emptiness deep within. I was supposed to be happy with my decision but it did not turn out as I expected to happen. Until I found myself aimlessly scrolling through my phone, ending up in the recycle bin. The photos of Royce and me, which I had previously removed, were still there. As I looked at them, my tears began to flow one by one, as I yearned for those times we spent together.Dave on the other hand was just waiting for me to say 'yes' to his marriage proposal. I was supposed to accept his offer a day after I said goodbye to Royce but suddenly I found myself in a state of confusion. "What's wrong sweetie?", Harold asked anxiously while we were having breakfast one morning."I noticed that you've been like that for a few days. Do you think your Mom would be happy to k
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 105- Forgiveness
Vera's POVI was resting in my bed, yet sleep eluded me. I kept on thinking about Royce and how he took the bullets that were intended for me. I was just thankful that nothing bad happened to him, otherwise, I couldn't find peace of mind in my lifetime.Reid and Mrs. Miller asked me to stay in the hospital until Royce woke up. But I decided to leave since I did not want him to see me. I was eternally grateful to him for saving me and my baby, and for that, I had already forgiven him. That was all.Meanwhile, I was thinking about Margaret. Finally, we got justice for Andrea. Her life imprisonment would be enough to pay for all the things she did to me, to my sister, and Roxette. Suddenly, Harold was knocking at the door. I knew that it was him since he usually knocked three times."Yes boo, come in!", I said.Harold entered my room and sat on my bed. "How are you, sweetie?""I'm fine boo.""Uhm, what do you want to do now sweetie? Are you still planning to go to Canada and settle the
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 104- Interception
Vera's POV While the jury was still deliberating about Margaret's cases, we took first a break outside. Vince approached us while Royce remained seated on a couch a little distant from us. "Hi babe!", Vince greeted Alexa with a kiss, and then he turned to me. "Hi Vera", he said and hugged me. "Hello, Vince. It's good to see you here! Uhm, by the way, this is my Mom. I mean, my biological mother and my younger sister", I said. "Hmm. Yes. Alexa told me about it", Vince responded and greeted Mom. "Hi, Aunt Olivia. Hello, little girl!", he messed up my little sister's long hair. She was a shy-type girl but according to my mother, she was not like this before when Andrea was still alive. She was attached to my twin sister so until now, she still couldn't move on from what happened. "Uhm, Vince let me introduce to you my friend Dave." "Dave, this is Vince, Alexa's boyfriend." Vince smiled and greeted him with a handshake. "Hi, bro! Nice meeting you." Dave returned the smile, but s
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 103- Face Trial
Vera's POV It was my alarm clock that woke me up from sleep. Despite the early hour, I had to get up due to Margaret's impending trial, a day I had been eagerly anticipating. I was hopeful for a just verdict that would make Margaret accountable for her actions. After this, I would be staying in Canada for good. This had been my plan before but it did not realize because I still wanted Margaret to pay for Identity Theft and most importantly, for killing my sister. My mother and I had already concurred on this. I would be living with her and my younger sister to make up those times we were not together. And--- Dave unexpectedly crossed my mind. I pondered over the possibility of accepting his marriage proposal. After all, he was a decent man, and eventually, I would learn to love him. But what if I fail? Everyone advised me to accept Dave's proposal for my baby's sake. Yet, I harbored doubts, as I didn't want to take advantage of his kindness. It would be unfair to him. A phone ca
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 102- Behind the Hatred
Royce's POV For us to avoid the media men, Reid and I took the elevator going to the basement. "Bro, are you okay?", I asked and tapped his shoulder, Reid just let out a heavy sigh, instead of answering my question. "Are we going home now bro? I think you need to take some rest", I said as I started the engine. "Nope, bro. Let's drop by at the police station. I wanted to see that traitor friend of mine!", Reid gritted his teeth as he emphasized the word 'traitor'. I did as what I was told to do but I did not bother to talk to him while we were on our way. I knew he was not okay. The corners of his mouth turned down in a sad frown while his brows furrowed. His complexion paled as if the blood had drained from his face. His gaze was a mixture of pain and anger for being betrayed by his best friend. A few moments later, we arrived at the police station. Reid got out of the car first so I hurried to get out as well. We entered at the entrance door and the first thing that caught ou
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 101- Gradual Resolution
Royce's POV Finally, the stars were aligned with us. With the help of our competent detectives, the police were able to catch the other kidnappers involved in Reid's kidnapping incident. We also found out that one of them was the driver who bumped into Dad's car, so, that person was indicted in a murder case. The police asked him the reason for killing my father but he said he was just following an order from his 'boss'—something that was baffling in my mind. Moreover, Nicholas Monet, also known as 'Simon Morris' was caught by the authorities at the LA Cruise Terminal when he was about to board a cruise ship. This time, I would make sure that this fucking asshole would be put behind bars and pay for all the crimes he committed. However, the person who ordered him to illicitly withdraw funds from our account was not yet identified. Until now, I still couldn't figure out who was behind it. On the other hand, Uncle Sam and Charles were already convicted of embezzlement and attempted
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 100- The Battle is Not Yet Over
Royce's POV As soon as mom saw us at the door, she felt a sense of relief that was like a soothing balm, easing the worry that gnawed her heart from the time Reid was kidnapped until I left to meet the kidnappers. She quickly ran towards us and opened her arms. "Reid! Oh! God Thank you so much!", mom exclaimed and hugged us while tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. "Are you okay son? Did they not hurt you?" "I'm fine, mom", Reid responded softly. "Royce! Thank you for fulfilling your promise to bring your brother back home. I'm glad you are both safe!", she said as she wiped her tears away. Her face lit up with a bright smile whispering words of love and joy as she embraced us warmly. But despite her smile, restlessness was evident in her eyes, indicating the need for her to get some rest. So Reid and I accompanied her to her room and waited until she had drifted off to sleep. Together we left mom's room, moving quietly so as not to disturb her. "Bro, I think you need to take
Falling Into a Happy-go-lucky CEO Chapter 99- Rescuing Reid
Royce's POV The ransom demanded for the release of my brother was already inside the money bag. Everything was set ready, but still waiting for the kidnappers' call to provide the precise location of our meetup. They insisted that I would come alone and I had to follow them for my brother's safety. However, the police had organized a backup team that would support me in carrying out my plan. Suddenly our residence telephone rang. I hurriedly picked it up for I thought it was coming from the kidnappers. "Good morning sir. This is from Ally Bank. We would like to inform you that your family savings account is temporarily frozen because we noticed suspicious activity", the bank personnel spoke intently. "What do you mean suspicious activity sir?", I asked in confusion. "After you had withdrawn the substantial sum of 100 million dollars, another transaction took place, depleting 500 million dollars from the account. It was only later when we discovered that Reid Miller's signature wa
