He's with someone
I thought it’s really impossible. I made it. I got through almost all of the exams that I did. I failed in some minor examinations but the university took it into consideration. Fortunately, I passed as a senior high school student. It’s more than I expected to achieve. But I can’t also imagine if I’m gonna go to school with kids. Elijah is their contact all along. So I don’t know if Elijah’s trying to use his power or if I was just lucky.
But as far I know, I really passed those exams. I’m quite confident. After all, reading books has been my saving grace while I’m locked up in the house for my whole life. No wonder that even though I'm uneducated, I still get to know a lot of things because of the books that I owned and the books in Lulu’s library.Things happened like a flash. The last time I checked I’m still at Elijah’s penthouse, dozing off. Or I’m in the library with LuRelated chapters
Fooling the CEO Sex won't solve anything, right?
Well I thought he’s still not home. But when I walked in the kitchen. I hear silent curses and some noises.Barefoot and a bit sleepy I entered the kitchen and saw Elijah’s back. I saw him putting back the lid of the pot where I cooked the stew. When he sensed my presence his head turned to me.I look at him with blank eyes. His chest is red and showing because the first three buttons of his dress shirt are open. His eyes look guilty and weary.He came into my direction with fast steps. He held my shoulders right away and I didn’t react to that. I smelled the strong scent of liquor from him. He’s drunk?”I’m sorry,” his first words. “I’m sorry.” he hugged meMy eyes widened. He hugged me but more like he’s weighing on me. His tongue is also twirling that I almost can’t understand what he’s saying.”I didn’t know… I ‘
Fooling the CEO Fuck the labels
I became so cold to him after that. Of course he tried reaching out, but I had no time for his shits. Adding the fact that I’m busy with school helps me to get away from him. Starting that day I didn’t dare to wait for him for dinner. In the morning, I purposely wake up early or wake up late just so we will not have any encounters.But not today. I woke up late but when I got out to prepare, I saw him in the living room casually standing there busy on his phone, wearing casual clothes and not his usual formal attire. He immediately hid his phone when he saw me.I saw him scan me from head to toe. I was already in my uniform and I’m about to eat my breakfast. Uh-oh, I guess I’ll just eat at school.I stared at him with blank eyes. The hint of nervousness and attentiveness is embedded in his eyes.”Breakfast is ready.” he said with a crooked smile.”I need to go. I’m late.” I said even though that’s not my original plan. And I’m not even late.
Fooling the CEO Courting
Elijah stopped just where that car is usually parked. He can just drop me in the gates but I know Zoey is waiting for me here because we’ll be going to the library to continue our project. I saw her standing on the spot where we usually wait for each other. ”I’ll pick you up later. What time will you finish your class?” Elijah asked me. ”At two. But I’m not yet sure because we’re still working on a project.” He nodded when the car stopped fully. He immediately got out of the car. Before I could even open the door on my side, he already did it. I went out and his hands that guided me didn’t leave my consciousness. ”Message me then.” I nodded and bowed a little because I didn't want to stare at his handsome face. The wind is a bit strong and the way his hair gets blown by the wind makes him even more good looking.”I’ll go now.” I s
Fooling the CEO Start of the destined encounter
“So you’re telling me that he initiated that sexual tension for the first time?” Lulu curiously asked me, confirming what I just told her.Since it’s Saturday, I went to the library and helped her fix and dust some books. Because later, I’ll be going to Zoey’s house to finish our project.”Yes, I think so.” I answered Lulu.”And you both made up just the next morning?””No, days after.” I spat bitterly. “I don’t even know if that’s called made up. I didn’t agree to anything. He just wants to get everything in his own way.”She didn’t answer me, so I looked to her only to find out that she’s smiling ridiculously. I raised a brow at her.”What?”She chuckled and shook her head. “You know from the very start, based on your stories… Mr. Anderson seems to be a good man.
Fooling the CEO Dark Secrets
Angelo is Zoey’s cousin. Both of their mothers are siblings, that’s what they told me. I didn’t have the guts to ask much because I don’t want them to think that I’m too curious about their lives.We’re now done with our project. Zoey asked me to stay for a while, since it’s still early I decided to stay as well. I silently sat there. Zoey is talking to someone over the phone when Angelo sat on the steel chair that’s not so far away from me.”Don’t you think we’ve been seeing each other in the most interesting ways?” he blurted.I pursed my lips. I didn’t answer him. I heard him chuckle.“Snob,” he said with a faint voice.”I heard that.””There you go. I thought you're just gonna snob me for the whole time.” he s
Fooling the CEO They're allies
I once watched this movie. We were asked to make a reflection out of it. It’s a fictional cartoon story where the young girl is going through something in life while her five different emotions are trying to solve it all for her.I sighed heavily contemplating it. When the girl had been left but only the three emotions, losing Joy and Sadness. I’ve fallen into deep thoughts. In life, we’ve always come to that point when we feel like happiness has left us already, and you are left with almost nothing. Emptiness. Disgust, anger, fear. Those three emotions who control us and act as our defense mechanism. They are allies and it’s agonizing.When a person is left with these three, it can all just cause a huge collateral damage. You’ll just end up hurting people around you, because you were too focused to defend yourself from all the hurt that you’re getting. And that’s saddening.”Who are you?” Angelo asked me after our long silence.I gritted my teeth. “Shoul
Fooling the CEO Where did I go wrong?
”Sibal, did Elijah text you?” I asked, a bit weary.My phone is dead. And we’re currently on our way home. It’s night time already. For sure Elijah is bombarding me with text messages.”Yes ma’am.” Sibal answered.I nodded and rested my head on the car seat after. I don’t know why I feel so tired. It’s been a long day. My mind is blank after hearing all of Angelo’s chitchat. I just know that I have to deal with what's coming my way.Can I really do that? Can I actually fool Elijah and end this all in our own ways? All his plans sound so easy, but in reality it’s not.I looked outside and watched the high skyscrapers. You know that feeling when you have a dream, and that dream feels so far out of reach. I can put Angelo’s words in that way. It seems so impossible, it’s beyond my own ability.”Ms. Hampton.”My thoughts stopped when Sibal called me.”Yes?””Should I tell Mr. Anderson where you went today?”My bro
Fooling the CEO Guilty Pleasure I
I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting there without any movement. My mind is in chaos. I’m alone now but my eyes can still see Elijah’s eyes that’s full of hurt asking me questions a while ago. Where did he go wrong? I don’t know. The only thing I know is that I’m the one who’s feeling wrong here. Even though he’s not here, I feel like I should leave because of too much embarrassment and guilt. I palmed my face after a long time. I look at the table that’s served with untouched food. The whole place that’s filled with roses and candles. I felt the guilt dripping in me. He could have done this with the right person, not to me. Out of energy, I came to my room and laid down with no emotion. You know that feeling in your life when you’re stuck between choosing good and bad. As much as I wanted to run away, I couldn’t possibly do that. From what happened a while
