Hello Readers. This is your author Lisa Salman. I just want to clear few misunderstandings. It seems that a few of you are not able to read the short author's note at the end of a chapter. My lovelies. My ML and FL are never weak. They might show a human side that's why they will make mistakes. But my ML is not weak. Why? You need to read further to find that. This month, I have another ongoing book 'Gosh! The CEO's Assistant is NOT a boy.' Hence you will get slower updates on this book. BUT... But just for this month(September 2023). From next month you will get daily updates except Sundays or if God forbid in case of an emergency. As I am a wife and a mom. If you want to read my complete work then here it is: 1) Oops! I Married A CEO By Mistake (Billionaire/Romance) 2) Ouch! My Fiance fell for his Maid. (Billionaire/ Romance) 3) Gosh! The CEO's Assistant is NOT a Boy. (Billionaire/Romance will be finished during this month) 4) Alpha Ezequiel's Fated Mate (Werewolf genre)
“Yes?” Elara gave a questioning look to the fine-looking man who was there standing in the bakery amidst all the customers. “Are you Elara Smith?” the man asked her with a pleasant smile. His smile deepened when she nodded, “I am George Kernel, Ms. Smith. Nice meeting you.” He extended his hand for a handshake. Thalia who was standing beside Elara was looking at the man from head to toe, “Nice!” she whispered close to Elara’s ear, but Elara ignored her and gave an enthusiastic smile to George while shaking his hand. “Hello, Mr. Kernel. I am sorry, I wasn’t expecting this visit,” she looked down when George didn’t show any intention to leave her hand. “I am here to ask you about your presentation idea.” If Elara found it odd, she didn’t show him. “Please come inside, Mr. Kernel.” She gestured for him to follow her and tried to free her hand from his grip. However, he didn’t seem to take the hint and started heading towards the door with her hand still in his grip. Elara tried to t
There was a lot of hustle and bustle at ‘Lemons and Tarts’ bakers. Elara and her workers were busy completing daily orders. Then today there was an extraordinary rush of customers. Barbara was helping fill up the baking trays with the batter that would be placed in the ovens the next morning so that they could present it fresh.“Hey, Elara.” Morgana peeped inside with a startled expression on her face, “Octopus is here, and she wants to talk to you.” Elara straightened her hurting back. Right now, she did not want to deal with any drama. Yesterday, at E and L Corporations, Octavia was also there with her product list. However, she could not bully Elara. Maybe due to the presence of other executive officials.When Elara saw her, she could feel this appointment in her heart.“Oh, God! Out of so many bakers in Kanderton why Octavia had to be here?”“Send her in,” Elara tossed her rubber gloves and apron aside, “refrigerate these trays in the large fridge, Barbara,” She instructed the
Elara didn’t know what to do. She was frozen. Her mind had stopped working. Thalia's condition was no different. “Is there any problem?” They both parted when they heard Mimi's voice, “What you two are doing at this ungodly hour? By any chance did you two discover that you both are in love?” Mimi's unexpected queries were giving them a headache. Elara stifled the unexpected laughter. Even in such a tense situation, Mimi’s doubts were hilarious. “Oh, come on, Mimi. No one is IN LOVE,” Thalia leaned back against the counter, “someone poured crude oil on our order. Now we are in a mess. We can’t even use the same trays.” Elara then made Mimi sit and explained to her about her biggest chance at E and L. “Maybe call George?” Mimi gave them the idea but twisted her lips when she saw Elara and Thalia shaking their heads. “Why not?” “Right now, he must be sleeping … and what will I tell him, Mimi?” Elara dropped herself down on the kitchen floor as if she was too tired to even move.
Elara had left and now George Kernel was ordering the office peons to bring in the plates from the conference room to the main office.“Sir, I thought you might like to taste them,” he asked the staff to place all of it on the center table near the couch.Aiden and Leonardo scurried to the couch and observed each plate. Leo nudged his elbow into Aiden’s ribs,“I think this one is Elara's,” he pointed towards a plate. Aiden knew he was right. He also suspected the same.The instant George left along with his men to bring more plates for them, they both had attacked the plate, “Oh, my God. Heavens!” Leo closed his eyes and started humming.It was after such a long time that he was swallowing Elara’s handmade treats. He turned to Aiden who instead of eating the tart, seemed to worship it.He was observing it, twirling it between his index finger and thumb.“Eat it, silly. Otherwise, I won’t let any of it stay on that plate. They are too good,” Aiden took a bite and then closed his eyes,
Aiden gradually shifted his gaze to focus on George who was giving his head subtle shakes. The poor manager seemed scared.“Mr. Aiden. You need to trust me. These two…” her voice trailed off when Aiden slapped his hand on the desk,“What these two are doing is NOT my fuc*king business!” he didn’t know why he got so furious.“What do you want me to do? If you want, we can carry out an investigation. To tell you the truth this man was the in-charge of the program, and we can’t help it if he has any hidden agenda behind it. You can try for the next time. We will be hosting these parties all year around,” Aiden closed the dossier trying to give the subtle hint that there was no more discussion about it.In all fairness, George knew nothing about Elara. She was a beautiful woman and Aiden couldn’t punish someone just because he was showing interest in a particular woman.His woman.He won’t allow it when she would be beside him. But before that, he could not make matters worse. Elara neede
Initially, Noah frowned and then tilted his head to look at the ginger haired girl. “OK. I don’t know much about E and L people but congratulations, Elara.” Noah extended his hand this time for a handshake and Elara held it in hers while sitting beside him. “Thank you, Noah. They just opened their office in Kanderton. Their offer was good, and it can … solve many problems.” Noah knew about her debts to Octavia’s father and was always willing to help her, but Elara never accepted it. Her only answer used to be, “I’ll manage, Noah. I will let you know if I need anything.” Noah had been crazy about her since childhood, but he knew her heart always belonged to Aiden Lockwood. He had golden brown hair with light brown eyes and girls were still crazy after him. Yet, the girl he was crazy for, used to treat him as if he was transparent and she could see right through him… as if he didn’t exist. “Come on, kids. Who is up for a painting competition with Aunt Thalia?” Thalia announced
This face!She was looking at this face after such a long time. Three years? Four years?Or she just saw him yesterday when he was telling her… no … when he was informing her about divorce.Yet, she felt as if it’s been ages. He was sitting there on his throne, looking much more gorgeous and incredibly hotter. But what was the matter with her?How could she forget about her self-respect? Staying with him did cost her so much emotional damage. There was so much hurt, pain, and betrayal that showed in her eyes too.But all she could remember was, how gorgeous he looked. Shame on you, Elara Smith. Shame on you.She stayed in a trance. With a killer smile, he left his seat and welcomed them. He shook each one of their hands and she felt as if he didn’t want to leave hers.She was the one who had to slip it out of his grip. He made them sit and told them what he expected of them for his guests who would join him from across the globe.Gustave and Octavia were chatting with him animatedly
