Gosh! CEO's Assistant Is NOT A BOY (Hired a girl by mistake) 49- Attract Marwick Garner
River was in high spirits when she returned to the cottage. When she left home Jeff was on her tail but since they had returned River was holding Jeff as if they were old friends. Greta raised her brows when she saw them coming while laughing crazily. “You are funny,” Jeff said and picked up an apple from the kitchen island. “I need to go to Marwick and bring him down. He must be working in his room,” River said before stepping on the stairs but had to stop when she heard Greta. “Mr. Garner is out for some office work. He said to tell you specifically to have dinner without him,” As expected River felt disappointed. On the plane, he was so friendly and then after she requested him to take his hand up, he just chuckled in reaction and kissed her temple. Was he avoiding her? “Sure, Greta. Of course, he is here for work. We can’t expect him to waste his time here.” She didn’t let his absence get to her heart. They ordered a large meal, and she enjoyed Greta’s and Jeff’s company. T
Gosh! CEO's Assistant Is NOT A BOY (Hired a girl by mistake) 50- Making Love On the Floor
As expected, Marwick wasn’t beside her when she woke up. But her plan didn’t include him being closer. She quickly pressed the bell for Greta. Once she was done with her morning tasks and dressed up, she went out where other waiters could be seen in the living room standing in a long line. A uniformed man who must be the hotel manager was giving orders to the waiters’ army. “What’s going on, Greta?” she asked the woman in a low whisper. “Mr. Garner has arranged an official dinner for the business fraternity near the beach,” Greta whispered back and took River to the kitchen. River must be halfway through her breakfast when a familiar scent hit her nose. She turned and found Marwick coming inside the kitchen and took the chair near the small coffee table. The hotel chef placed a breakfast plate in front of him. “I am sorry. I thought you are done with the breakfast.” She said sheepishly but Marwick waved his hand carelessly and started taking big bites of his sandwich. River look

“So, Marwick, what do you think about this proposal?”An executive from the African company asked Marwick whose mind was drifting off, thinking of the girl who just left the study after informing him that she was going out.He blinked, realizing he was momentarily lost in his thoughts, and tried to regain his focus on the meeting.He looked at the man absent-mindedly, “Uh...yes, I believe it has potential. We should consider the financial projections more carefully.”Another executive who seemed to be in his middle age looked at Marwick, “Is everything alright, Mr. Garner? You seem a bit worried.”Marwick tried to regain his composure, “Oh, my apologies. I was just... reviewing some additional data. Please continue.” He said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.The executives exchanged curious glances, but they continued with their discussion.Mr. Marwick Garner was taking enough interest before that pretty girl arrived and disturbed the meeting.Marwick tried his best to stay eng
Gosh! CEO's Assistant Is NOT A BOY (Hired a girl by mistake) 52- After the party
River's heart skipped a beat as she realized the voice belonged to Marwick. She wasn’t expecting him to come after her. She right away got up and hugged him, “Oh, God!” she squeezed her eyes excitedly and tightened her arms around his body. Not realizing that he went rigid at first and then took her trim figure in his arms. This was after a few minutes when she felt the skin to skin connection. Damn! He wasn’t wearing a shirt. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she instinctively stepped back. She crossed her arms over her swimsuit-clad body, suddenly feeling self-conscious under his gaze. “I'm sorry if I startled you. I didn't mean to intrude.” He wiped a droplet off her cheek. She smiled nervously, “No, it's okay. I was just... surprised to see you here.” She paused and then said again, “And happy too.” She tried to hide her discomfort, but it was clear to Marwick that she was feeling uneasy. He quickly noticed her subtle attempt to cover up her chest. Looking around he
Gosh! CEO's Assistant Is NOT A BOY (Hired a girl by mistake) 53- Uninvited Guest
When she entered the party, she could feel everyone's eyes on her. She was wearing a sea-green dress that hugged her curves in all the right places, accentuating her figure. The gown had a daring slit that revealed her perfect, long leg with each step she took. Her raven hair was tied up in a bun, exposing her sleek neck. River was not one to usually flaunt her beauty, but tonight was different. She wanted to feel confident and alluring. She needed to attract a man who was her husband yet wanted a commitment from her. The decision to wear this dress was not only to lure that cold-hearted CEO but also to ensure herself that she was no longer afraid to embrace her beauty and sensuality. She wanted to remind Marwick that she was not a boy anymore but a girl through and through. As she made her way through the crowd, conversations hushed, and whispers followed her every move. She noticed some envious glances from women and intrigued looks from men, but she didn’t give a damn. Tonight

She closed her eyes and tried to swallow her tears. His nearness was again making it all hard to…He pulled back and eyed her carefully.“Have you been crying?” he held her chin between his thumb and forefinger, “What is it?” She was in no position to speak so she just shook her head.“Bella?” he called her, but she just smiled.Somehow it was embarrassing for her that he was always there to witness her weak moment.“You can keep your guard down. Remember? It's me. Marwick!” he tried to assure her. And then pulled her back to him.“Let’s get you out of here,” River instantly shook her head and spoke for the first time.“My make-up. I must be looking…”“You look beautiful. If you want to go to your room for a touch-up, then that’s fine. But trust me. You are the most beautiful woman in that goddamn room, little lamb!”For some reason that made her chuckle. She sniffed her nose and tilted her head up to look at him, “thank you… for making me feel better.”“Pleasure!” he offered her his

He kept walking around attending to his guests and didn’t leave her hand for even a single second. Though she couldn’t understand a single word of the business language they were using, but still she felt happy. She didn’t care if the language was alien. She could only feel his hand holding her. Every now and then his thumb used to make circles on her palm unconsciously and she found it intimate. All she wanted to do was lean into his touch. As Marwick smoothly guided her through the crowd, she kept studying people around her. But the man beside her was the main subject. She couldn't help but steal glances at the man who seemed to effortlessly command the room. “Mr. Garner.” A woman approached them with a plate of hors d'oeuvres, “I’m planning to visit sycamore city soon. Would love to meet you there. Can I…” The young woman seemed energetic and ambitious. River had seen her somewhere. She looked at River with a smile, “How are you? I saw you when you made your way to the confere
Gosh! CEO's Assistant Is NOT A BOY (Hired a girl by mistake) 56- To The Bed
River’s heart was drumming in her ears when she started getting ready for him. She hadn’t got enough lingerie in her luggage, but she decided to keep it simple. She took a shower and then shaved her legs. While slathering vanilla-scented body butter on her body she could almost imagine his hands roaming on her body. With a soft exhale, she reached for a deep maroon bra that was both elegant and pretty. The matching underwear was adorned with the same lace pattern. She carefully slipped into the lingerie, the sensation of the lace against her skin sending a tingling shiver down her spine. The deep maroon was complimenting her complexion, highlighting the subtle curves and contours of her body. She blow-dried her hair and left it cascading in loose waves around her shoulders, framing her face in a cascade of raven silk. As she admired herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but imagine his reaction when he would finally lay eyes on her. Now all she had to do was wear a light chiff

(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

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.

“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

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
