MR. CEO is down for Trouble 21
~[CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE]~I quaked. And all the while I stumbled out the space of that office, all of me was to be found juddered. "Oh, Jane" I took in such forced smile on the face of the lady before me, eyes narrowed at my form proceeding out of Kristoffer's office. "I didn't know you were in there" Came those words, and soon, Adalynn had placed all of her focus on me. "You must have met Mrs. Holden, then. A charming one she is" She began. "Although you might beg to differ since she happened to walk in on you, screwing her son" For a split second, I struggled not to give her the reaction she so yearned to get from me, but my lips had without warning parted open at the drop of her words, eyes left gaping on at her form. "Oh I've happened to know for a while, now" That grin of hers which managed to cross that pretty face, was all but sheer terror, one in disguise of a sweet lady. "You didn't think it would arouse suspicion with you always being in his office, when your departmen

~[CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO]~THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEWMaddison Wagner sauntered into the area, eyes scanning the number of figures in the room. Something about the entrance of the lady had managed to snatch the attention of the people around, all with gazes befalling her, peering on while the young lady got pulled in the warm embrace of Mrs Holden. "Oh, dear. You look as fabulous as ever!" Came the squeal of Connie, with eyes lighting up at the girl before her. "Where have you been?" The delight that had filled her eyes at the arrival was out there for all to behold. She was like a daughter to her—One she longed to have, and with every grace and elegance Maddison Wagner bore, Mrs Holden found herself upholding the young lady in high manners every single day. "Kristoffer!" She had soon turned to the figure stood at a far end of the room, hands motioning for him to come over. Whereas, the young man who looked like he'd rather be anywhere but there barely had a glance up, and just when

~[CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE]~The prying eyes of the crowd was sure to linger on me as I pushed into the space.Some barely concerned, some utterly displaying the discomfort in their eyes while gazing upon me, yet, one thing was sure to remain—I didn't fit into such crowd. Of course I was one to know that, especially since the form of Connie was now storming over to me, all with the rage in her eyes, and the worned out expression which had nothing on that face. And on she came, figure shot towards me, and in the time, the number of people had their gazes now settled on us, I only remained watching the lady."Why are you here?" She dropped flat. It took me everything not to break the gaze of the woman before me. "I thought I had informed you not to step foot here, dear" "Mr Holden invited me" My voice was low, eyes anywhere but hers. "I'm only here for him" I called firmly. The laugh that came tumbling out her lips, had me staring blankly at that profile, gaze beholding the amusement
MR. CEO is down for Trouble 24
~[CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR]~If I wasn’t better informed on the conducted and peaceful space Holden Inc. was sure to hold dear to heart, perhaps I wouldn’t be found paused in tracks at such tumult which I so happened to have walked into on this morning.My eyes shifted through the scrutinies before me, all watching, accessing, and awaiting my entry into the office. If I hadn't then checked the calendar on my desk this morning, I could have mistaken the day for Christmas, surely work never went on during Christmas days. Perhaps it was Easter. No, it wasn't. And only then did I take sight of the large bouquet of flowers rolling in on a trolley, with a familiar figure tagging behind. Diego.On his lips, spread a wide grin, with eyes centered my way, I watched him draw even nearer. "Forgive me for taking too long" The voice of Diego filled the area, with every of his utterance accompanied with murmurs from the workers around, I just could see the joy those eyes held onto. Why was he her

~[CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE]~Life’s hectic. Believe me.Some days it brought smiles, other days, it pulled confusion, Frustration, utter dejection. I wasn't the weakest, nor was I the strongest, but surely could feel. I could feel weak, hurt, and even now I still was hurt. Now, the reason for that being, I don't know, but I knew how much I hurt—I was hurt that there was nothing more that could happen in what I had found myself crossed in. More hurt that there was nothing I could do about it. Sometimes we find ourselves longing for something, but realize those are just wants of our heart. Utter desires. I could hear the cars honking past my staggering figure, some peeking out their windows, throwing curses my way, but I cared not at this point. Body and mind was exhausted. One might as well run into me. Also, the wild downpour which had decided to come unannounced on a fine New-York evening, right in the middle of March didn't do much in helping matters at all. Form drenched clothes to

~[CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX]~The car ride was one filled with utter silence. I mean, not complete silence, as the only voice to be heard was the voice of Diego, while he went on about one tale or the other. He would turn to me, beholding the smile I managed to keep on my face, and then fix his eyes back on the road. Pulling up to a sparsely-filled car park, he had taken out off the car at once, coming over to let the passenger's door open. That grin he left my apartment still could be found plastered on his lips, with those eyes of his following my every movement, while I made way out the vehicle. "You look beautiful, Jane" His voice remained low, blue eyes peering on at my figure, threatening not to let go. "Come on" He urged, holding his hands out for me. "I made reservation for us" Followed his words, and with that, he was already leading me in.At each step we took forward, I could feel his hold on me tighten, hands locked in mine, not daring to slip out. "You deserve every bit o

~[CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN]~That gaze remained soft the entire time, scanning the area, with a figure from nowhere coming up right next to him. I beheld the sight before me, watching as those forms made their way in. Arms linked in each other’s, figures strolling side by side, I caught a pang in my chest merely by the smile which had crossed the face of the lady who waddled in here with Kristoffer. Maddison. Motioning for her to go first, Kristoffer held back, and in a minute, they were making their way to a table kept a the end of the room. For the love of God! Why were they here? I had sank into into my seat, hands soon reaching for my face, doing everything I could to veil my profile from view. Diego must have noticed the sudden agitation, as his eyes soon paused at me, laced with concern watching as I shook my head profusely, turning the hair Tara had been kind enough to fix for me right before we stepped away from the apartment, into a large mess. "What's going on?" "Nothin

~[CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT]~THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW."Jane!" The voice of Diego broke out, with figure hurrying on. The young man felt a mess, as eyes from every corner followed after his form, watching as he dashed after the young lady."Jane" She was only a few steps out the door, when his hands had managed to put her to a halt, his eyes soon taking a hold of that profile. "I'm sorry. I tend to misunderstand ladies" The young man rushed his words. "I should have known it's not a good place to make such move" "It's not just about that, Diego" The words of Jane poured out, eyes finally meeting his. "You're a nice guy. There is no denying that, but— She let out a sigh, eyes soon turned away. "I would only be doing you wrong by lying to you and leading you on" She let out.There came a long pause, a sigh pouring out her lips, and in a low voice, she began. "I've got feelings for someone else" Her utterance had his eyes peering on at her profile, gaze searching through hers, whil

~[CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE]~"We can't let you through ma'am" My eyes were found gaping at the form away, holding onto such hostile air which exhumed from the fellow. "Sorry, what?""Mr. Holden has requested he best be left alone…He has informed us not to let anyone in" He clarified. "I work for him......at the company" My words barely had little effect on the man away, as that smug scowl still rested on his lips, with eyes holding a haze of trauma, and brute."We're gonna have to ask you to leave, young lady" He followed at once, motioning for me to step away. "It's important I see him, Sir" "You have to leave, Miss" "It's urgent" "I'd hate to repeat myself" "Come on!" My arms flung in the air, exasperation claiming the most of me."Ma'am, Please. You're creating a scene" My jaw had dropped without warning at his choice of words, eyes gaping on at him. "I'm creating a scene?" The scoff left my lips, gaze peering at that profile. "If you don't mind me asking, what's the name?" "

~[CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT]~And here we were, forms centered on the office floor, with burnt cig ashes littered over the marble tiles, while the sound of my laughs poured out into the room. "I'm telling you, Jane. I found myself mopping floors with my garments, all in sakes of bringing food to my mouth" Spoke Louis. "It was a hectic one, Jane" "Life never is easy" "Not in a million years would I believe you come from such home, so raggedy, even to an extent of being feasted by rats" I called in a low voice. "Oh, not just the rodents, Jane" He whispered. "Even the roaches and snakes took abode in our home, and only then did it hit me, that I wasn't living. Not until I got the comfort I sought, the peace......and the joy" He called in a low voice. "One never is serious, not until they get a push" He let out. "Mine came about, at the height of the poverty that feasted my heart. That, Janet Parker, was my turning point, and my snap to work" "What is yours?" Those eyes searched throu

~[CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN]~The reception received upon my entry into Cigg Holdings, was beyond exceptional, I tell you. Each one of the people bore smiles on their face, with eyes beaming on at me, their arms opened up to receive me, at this point, I was made to believe there was something else to the occasion. Could I have turned so important overnight. "Oh, please. Don't get the poor lady, startled" The calm voice of Mr Vettriano soon took the space, with his figure coming right into view. "We can save the cheers for when eventually she takes office" He chuckled, with hands reaching out to take mine. "I hope" He added in a low voice. "Miss Parker, I long awaited your visit" He stepped aside, motioning for me to step into the elevator before him. Those eyes watched me keenly. Holding onto to every slight movement I gave, with a look of glee I still couldn't decipher."I'm sorry, I couldn't meet up on time" My voice was low, eyes watching his fingers set the elevator to the last

~[CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX]~"Why do you look ravishing today, Miss Parker?" My eyes had snapped to the form of Susy proceeding into the office, hands holding onto a paper bag."Why?" I followed with confused eyes peering on at her."You look beautiful, not to lie" That certainly must be a lie,m, cause I believe looked just the way I felt, and I can tell you I didn't feel so good.Saying I was tired, was merely an understatement. I was utterly drained, completely knackered as one would say. "I gotta tell you, Susy. When a lady hears how beautiful she is, she flushes not because she actually is beautiful, it's because it helps boost her confidence" "If I do look beautiful, then I must go on being stressed, cause I can't tell what's changed with me. But stil, thank you for that" I saw a smile creep up her lips, eyes beaming on at me."No, thank you. Miss Parker" She fell silent, eyes only watching me carefully, and next came the same Susy I was familiar with. "Miss Parker" Her voice w

~[CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE]~"Become a manager at Cigg. Holdings"Those words still rolled around my head, despite it being days since Louis had stepped here. Me? A manager to one of the top companies in the state, if not the best. What exactly did I know about managing such huge business?But I tell you, Louis was one to think otherwise. In fact, he deemed me the best match to head such organization. Now, why would that be? I still couldn't figure out, all i found myself re-living, were his utterances. This was massive. It spelt a new path in my life. Me heading such organization as Louis' was bound to change all about me. And I mean that in every good way. My life was to change for good. But why me? What exactly did he mean by his interest piqued in getting familiar with my character? What character exactly? If anything I was an utter mess. A sore one. Why then did Louis Vettriano choose to come to me with such offer that just was irresistible. "Jane"I was snapped at the sound

~[CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR]~"My life's only a rollercoaster, Tara" My figure had crashed right onto the couch, taking the space next to her form. "A rough ride it is" I could feel her eyes scanning my profile, no words coming from the girl away. At once I had snatched the heels off my feet, sinking my legs onto the plush carpet, and I tell you, the feel that rushed through was just every comfort I sought. "Can you believe Louis Vettriano stopped by the office today. The life had soon rushed back to me, with every delight filling my gaze, while those words stumbled out my lips. "He was there to offer me a job, Tara. A job!?" "He offered to make me his manager"The eyes of Tara only watched me while I went on. She had barely made an utterance, that gaze only remained intent on my form. "I'm entirely lost, Tara" My voice was low, eyes faltering. "Whatever do you think I should do?" "Okay, that's enough, Jane!" Followed the voice of Tara, figure tearing off the couch at once. "You put

~[CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE]~"There are a lot of things left for one to behold in this world, Miss Parker" My gaze shifted to the form of Louis, ears perked, at each word that came tumbling out his lips. I dare not be distracted. He had so managed to earn my undivided attention effortlessly, with eyes watching him, watching every slight movement he gave."You, Miss Parker, are an exceptional lady, I must say"He waved at the lady behind the counter, calling for her to return with the cups of coffee he had ordered minutes ago. I gaped on like I was caught in some sort of trance. Perhaps, I was. For it be the fact that this man wasn't on my TV screen, or the page of some magazine held between my fingers. No, no, no. Louis Vettriano was sat right before me. Far away from Holden Inc. we were. For some reason, he had decided to take me to the café right down the street, prepared to make his business known. I soon caught sight of the lady approaching, hands bearing a tray holding the cup

~[CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO]~"Miss Parker?" “Miss Parker!” I jolted at the voice which deemed it fit to ruin the peace that had taken a hold of me.Oh, the calm I had found myself in, now altered by whoever that form was that had now waddled into the area. It was merely five minutes gone that I was found basking in every serenity that came with the office space, mind lost in thoughts, having its own wandering, when that voice came stumbling in, altering a moment that I felt was just irredeemable. "Miss Parker!" "What is it, Susy!?"Believe me I tried my best to remain calm, I pinched myself to, but the incessant call of my name, by a girl whom I had been direct in sending downstairs, to fetch nothing in particular, just to evade her babbles, for as peaceful as five minutes could be, soon got me snapping to her, eyes taking in her form. She paused at my outpour, eyes shifting through the room for a minute, and at once her eyes lit up, figure pulling closer to mine. "There are some peo

~[CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE]~I let the form of Tara crash into my hands, a low grunt pouring out her lips upon the impact of our figures.She had bruises all over. With eyes still holding onto the fear that had caught her half an hour ago, there still remained patches of blood on her lips. "I'm sorry" My voice wavered, eyes pulling her even tighter to myself. "I'm sorry, Tara" She barely made an utterance, instead, her grip on me only tightened, body relaxing in mine. "Janet Parker?" Came the voice that managed to pull our figures apart. "I'll need you for questioning" I stared at the middle-aged man before me, eyes holding onto the same joy it held, while he burst into our house, tackling George to the ground. He had smacked him repeatedly, holding a gun to his face, and in all of his glory, he tore a cuff out, placing it on the wrists of the man who would have been my murderer, if they hadn't arrived just in time. "I'm Officer Thawne" "Your friend will be attended to by the parame
