“Aniya. Where is River?” Marwick Garner asked the attractive receptionist who was just placing the receiver after getting done with the call. “He was with us in the cafeteria. But then went to the bathroom. Is there something I can do for you until he returns?” She offered him and moved her laptop. “Yes, please open the Garrison’s file, and then let me tell you about some changes.” He walked to her and stood right behind her. Aniya’s heart almost stopped beating when she got the whiff of his Ah-mazing scent. Oh, God. If I will tell him how his presence affects me, he will fire me. If I need his closeness, I need to show that I don’t care how close he is. Oh, Marwick. Why are you so handsome? “Open the damn laptop, Aniya!” Marwick demanded and took a revolving seat beside her, “Switch it on.” “I don’t know what got into it. It never took that much time to fire up.” She remarked and patted her laptop, but the screen was blank. “If the laptop was having problems, you should have ca

After reaching her hotel room, River got rid of her glasses, fake nose, and brows. She was unusually happy today. Chad who was going home for a few months was now sent home permanently. Marwick had promised him to pay his salary for one year but after that, he was on his own.Marwick was expected to be in the hotel room late at night. But River was not worried about his unexpected arrival. Being a gentleman, he never barged into the room. Having a keycard didn’t mean he never knocked unless he was sure that River must be sleeping like a dead. She stood under the shower and rubbed every part of her body like a freak. She could feel Chad’s hands roaming around her body and all she wanted to do was take her mind off him. The room service served her dinner, and she indulged in it hungrily praying that Marwick could get a separate room tonight. She was licking her plate when her phone started ringing. “Hey! Keanu! My friend!” “Is Mr. Marwick there with you?” he asked River cautiously

She was no more angry but highly nervous. She would never tell Marwick about her secret disguise. That would be a world-class insult to her.Instead of staying in her room, she opted to leave her room and have her breakfast in the restaurant. The CEO could have it in his room.Ok. Not his room but River’s room. He was the one who barged into her room. And now he wasn’t liking it because she was eating broccoli and cabbage for dinner.Oh my God! Was her gas stinky?As River made her way downstairs, she couldn't help but feel a mix of nervousness and anticipation.She never had this idea that staying together could be this torture. Mister Garner should know. It was her room so her choice and her gas.Entering the breakfast area, she scanned the room for a vacant table. She noticed a few curious glances from other people.They must be wondering what an ordinary looking woman… no, an ordinary looking man was doing in this five star hotel.However, River decided to brush off the attention

River froze, her sandwich halfway to her mouth. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. How could he have possibly guessed her secret? Panic swirled inside her, but she quickly composed herself, not letting her fear show. With a forced nonchalant expression, she set down her sandwich and looked Marwick directly in the eyes. "You have a wild imagination, Mr. Garner. But I assure you, I am all man, through and through. Now don’t ask me for proofs." She said confidently. Marwick's gaze intensified, a mixture of curiosity and something else she couldn't quite decipher, "You seem awfully defensive about it." River clenched her fists under the table, "I don't owe you any explanations about my identity or how I choose to present myself. So, I suggest you focus on your own affairs." He leaned back, a faint smile playing on his lips, "Fair enough, Brower. Your secret is safe with me... for now." Her heart raced at his remark. Did he suspect the truth or was he just trying to get a r

Chad looked up at his wife who was placing…No, who was tossing the plates and dishes on the dining table? Chad was looking at her silently.Ever since he was asked by Marwick Garner to go back home with one year’s salary. His life had flipped upside down. It seemed like his fate had taken the worst turn forever.His wife who used to be a lovey dovey woman before the scandal was now a robotic alien who didn’t have any feelings for him.Most of her time was spent verbally abusing their teenage kids. One daughter and one son.She placed a bowl and a plate along with a tablespoon when Chad suddenly held her hand.“Darling. Where are you going? You know very well I can’t eat alone.” The hard contours of her face didn’t soften.“My love. Before these rumors, we were one small happy family. And now when I am no longer earning, you have changed. Please don’t discard me like garbage. I still love you and you know that.”She shoved his hand away and went to the kitchen. Upon returning she forc

“You look sad,” Aniya remarked when she saw River staring into space. It had been days since Marwick Garner was staying in her room.The man might be decent, but the time was proving to be torture for her. With all her fake essentials pasted on her face, she was getting tired. The stay was supposed to be for two to three days and now it had turned into more than a week. There was still no sign of a vacant room.“Picnic is around the corner,” River straightened and looked up at Aniya who seemed thrilled, “Few invites are still left.”“Oh. After lunch, I can send the invites.” Aniya offered her, “I just can’t wait for this picnic. How awesome it’s going to be. I just bought a cute, orange-colored two-piece. This time I would do anything to look pretty.”Aniya revolved her chair with a smirk, “By the way that doesn’t explain your sadness.” she remarked and closed her laptop.“Our CEO. Who else can make me sad?” River leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.“You are lucky. Right now,

It had been two weeks and River had started enjoying her work. The kiss from Gerald was forgotten because thankfully he never made another move.He remained sweet but River could feel his eyes on her when he thought no one was looking. Marwick was still not in office.Thankfully he had, at last, got a room for himself, but he was still sharing the floor with River. River still needed to be cautious, but she was happily using this alone time in her room without her artificial brows and a fake nose.She even celebrated it by buying raw silk lingerie and drinking wine while watching TV.“Oh, no!” she had forgotten to give her men’s underwear to the hotel management for washing and now she didn’t have any to wear.How could I be so forgetful? She pinched her nose in desperation.She was getting late for the office and didn’t have much choice except put on whatever was available. Dressed in a white shirt and black dress pants, she placed her office tablet on her desk.She got a new one, a

“Hello,” River greeted her with a forced smile and Ashley noticed her red nose and misty eyes.“Hello, River,” but it seemed River didn’t hear her at all. She walked to Ashley and then moved passed her. Ashley kept standing there, her head turned to see River exiting the office.“Ashley?” Marwick called her but she didn’t listen, “Little one?”“Hmm?”“Go to the bathroom.” Marwick also walked past her. Ashley with all the confusion closed the bathroom door.Once she was out, she marched straight to her brother, “What is going on between you and him?” Ashley asked her brother who was trying to show himself hell busy with his work.“Stop it, Ashley. It was nothing significant.” He said stubbornly and leaned into his laptop screen. However, he had to jerk back when Ashley closed the laptop that missed his nose by a few centimeters.“Talk to me, Marwick Garner.” She tried to sit on the desk near him but could not succeed with her big belly.“Ok.” Marwick stood up and held her by her should

(2 years later) “I went to the school today. The management is quite happy with Mimi’s progress,” Arabella told Jeff’s partner, Fione who moved to their house for her girls’ better education and job opportunities. Two years back, Marwick had offered Fiona to join his company. Even if she wouldn’t have moved here, Marwick had promised her long ago that he would take responsibility for Jeff’s family in his absence. Whether his girlfriend wanted to do a job or some business or even if she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. He had promised himself that he would support the family as much as he could. There was an annex at a little distance from their giant house that was built especially for the family. “You should start dating, Fiona. You are still young,” the girl smiled and shook her head. There was a sketch of Jeff’s older daughter that was made by Arabella as promised to Mimi’s father. “Where are the twins?” Arabella asked her, looking around. “Oh, they just went to sleep. You wer

(Aniya: One month later)“Finally, we are here,” Aniya told Derek who held her hand and leaned to kiss her cheek.“Yeah. Finally!” He looked happy too. It was almost a dream come true. His dream girl was at last by his side.They had just landed at the Sydney Airport and they both knew that their fate had brought them here. The same fate that brought them together.Aniya took out her phone when it vibrated. She had received millions in her bank account. Her mouth was hung open.There was a message from Gerald.“Take it as your gift from Garner Empire. I know you will never accept it. But this is a joint gift from me, Ashley, and Marwick so that you can start your life without worry.”Aniya felt strange. As a director, Derek did receive a good chunk of his due funds after he resigned. But why Gerald, Ashley, and Marwick were giving her so much money? For God's sake, this meant only one thing. Now she was a billionaire.“What’s the matter, darling?” Derek asked her while walking to the

“What? Resign?” Gerald was looking at Aniya open-mouthed, “Are you nuts? Who makes such impulsive decisions, Aniya?” “I do!” Aniya lifted her chin up and there was this stubbornness evident on her face, “I have decided to follow him.” She flipped back her shoulder-length hair with style. That same Aniya style. Her smile did waver a bit when she felt Gerald’s pointed gaze on her face. “What?” She sounded defensive, “People do leave jobs and shift to other countries. I need to accompany him if we want a future together. I am quite sure my happiness lies with him.” “You were quite sure when you followed Marwick here and packed up your cleaning business. Just to be a receptionist in his office.” Gerald pointed out and that brought rage on her face. “Mr. Gerald Oliver. Are you questioning my decisions?” she cocked up a challenging brow at him. “No, Aniya,” Gerald leaned back in Marwick’s seat. After he left for Turkey, Gerald was taking care of everything behind him, “I am your frie

“Yes?” Ashton just got done fuc*king a dame and now he was smoking while scrolling his phone when he got this call.“Sir. I have bomb news.” The man on the other side told him with excitement. “Shoot!” he pressed the cigarette between his finger and thumb and flipped it towards the ashtray on the nightstand. The girl beside him was sleeping without bothering to cover herself and Ashton's hand was stroking her a*ss after getting rid of the cigarette. “It’s about your son, Mr. Ashton. Marwick Garner,”Ashton threw a quick glance towards the girl and decided to leave the room. He came out while knotting the robe around his gown.“I told you not to bother me about my son. I just wanted to know about Arabella Den. She is fuc*king eighteen and I was thinking that Marwick must have gotten rid of her by now.But no. She is still residing there.” Frustration was evident in his tone. “Or maybe my son is also taking advantage of her beauty,” Ashton said with a low chuckle. Arabella Den. E
Gosh! CEO's Assistant Is NOT A BOY (Hired a girl by mistake) 95- Manipulation
From a very young age, he had been taking care of his business. His father being a womanizer could never pay attention to the family.As a result, Marwick had an indecisive mother who could never take a stand for her husband’s cheating.Marwick Garner started acting like a man of his family from his teens. His grandfather started trusting him and did something that he could never do to his son.He gave the business reins to Marwick without any interference. Ashton Garner got furious. He could never enjoy his father’s money this freely. And just when he thought he would soon have everything. All the wealth was handed over to Marwick Garner on a silver platter.Marwick worked hard and took the business to an international level. He had this knack for business from a very young age. Nobody could manipulate him that easily.But this girl River Brown?She took advantage of her sickness. She used him as a pawn and convinced him to go to Turkey. He thought, the couple really needed help.How

“So, are you seriously going to Turkey? Just to settle the couple?” Gerald asked him when Marwick was putting his passport in a leather pouch, “I can’t believe it. Don’t you think it’s an absurd demand?”“Sir. I have packed your bags.” Marwick’s butler informed him, “Please let me know if you need any more assistance,”Marwick dismissed him with a slight shake of his head and looked towards Gerald.“I have a very trustworthy staff, but I would really appreciate it if you stop mentioning the country repeatedly. The newly married couple might be dead due to your carelessness,” Marwick hissed but Gerald knew why he was frustrated.“Are you scared that you might bump into her?” Marwick zipped the pouch as if he wanted to zip Gerald’s mouth.“Nobody knows which city she flew to. She didn’t even inform River or Keanu about her whereabouts. I am not going for her. I am going for River and Keanu. Will help them initially and return. I have a business to run. Remember?”He went into the bathro
Gosh! CEO's Assistant Is NOT A BOY (Hired a girl by mistake) 93- Why Turkey?
Aniya frowned and looked at Derek when someone whispered from behind, “The bride seems to be a cancer survivor. Such a brave girl she is.” That was the moment Aniya noticed her newly grown short hair under the veil.“Derek,” she breathed after leaning towards Derek.“I know, love. I know. We will talk about it later,” Derek kissed her hand lightly and looked ahead to witness the vows. ***“You may now kiss the bride,” The priest announced, and River kneeled in front of the wheelchair, where Keanu lifted her veil with a teary chuckle and bent down to kiss the bride.The small audience started cheering for them.“I love you so much,” Keanu almost choked on his tears. River wiped his cheeks and chuckled.“I love you too, Mr. Keanu. I am lucky to have you in my life. As my lover and as my husband.”“Not lucky as me, Mrs. Keanu,” He bent again to kiss his bride. They both were not embarrassed to cry and kissing each other again and again in front of a bunch of people.“Thank you so much.”

(1 month later)Aniya was standing before a full-length mirror pouting at her image. She lifted her black hair off her neck to examine herself, “I think a bun at the top will look more suitable,”The bathroom door opened, and Derek stepped out with a towel around him. He ran a slow gaze at Aniya who was wearing a blush pink gown that flowed just below her knees. The off-shoulder neckline that was lined with lace was giving her an ethereal look.He tried his best to take his eyes off her and started dressing up. After buttoning up his tailored charcoal gray suit jacket, he smirked.She was still confused about her hairstyle.“Whatever style you will decide, believe me. You will ace it.” He said and started brushing his fingers through his partially wet hair.When she didn’t respond and the pout stayed there on her lips, he walked up behind her and placed his hands on her bare shoulders. “What’s the fuss about?” he muttered close to her ear, causing goosebumps on her skin.“I can’t deci

Marwick and Keanu got busy with River. They used to feed her bone broth, fruits, and veggies. The daily multivitamin intake was a must. River had to be strong enough to get the chemo. Her next head shave was also due. The first one was done by Keanu. Garner Empire was still bustling with people and business. Gerald was taking care of all the meetings and Aniya was managing all the online commitments along with Mr. Penks. They wanted to give maximum time to Marwick so that he could spend most of his time with River. “River. Now don’t act like a bratty kid,” he heard Keanu’s stern voice who was trying to feed chicken corn soup to River. “I can’t. It’s been so many days since I last ate a burger or a pizza,” she had been puking everything and the doctor had asked them to feed her soft food. At last, Marwick who was working on his laptop got on his feet and placed the laptop aside, “Give it to me,” Marwick reached out to hold the bowl, “If you have any errands to run then you can g
