Mr. CEO and His Secretary Chapter 24
RayaIf anyone had told me that things would go downhill the next week after I reconciled with my boss, I would have asked how, and in what way.Because things had been going pretty well for me, I had an apartment that cost almost a thousand dollars per month, a good efficient car, a stable job, and good food to eat with some savings.I would never have thought that things could change within a few days.It had started with my car refusing to start that morning as I hurried to work, and I turned to Kendall, who had Leah in her arms. "What's wrong?" She asked."I don't know. It's refusing to start at all.""What are you going to do now?""Take a taxi"And that is what I did, calling a garage to pick it up for repair, and I got to work in the office.The design department was done with the samples, and we stood in the meeting room viewing the various designs that were going to make up the collection.There were dresses, skirts, blouses, and swimwear, and the portfolio was sent to the st

MaxwellI picked up my phone that morning, waiting for Ryan to give me the good news, and he did soon enough."Hey," I said once I picked up his call."Hey""Have you done it yet?""Of course, I've sent it. Her account should be blocked by now""Good. Let's see how she goes about that now."I smirked and picked up the cup of coffee I had made for myself from the coffee maker I bought just a few days ago."Hmm, seems like you're enjoying this a little too much," Ryan said, and I cleared my throat."Whatever. See you later."I cut the call and sipped the drink, savoring the taste and I had to owe my knowledge to Raya. She put me through the process just one time, and it has stuck with me ever since then.I went into my room to get ready for work.She must be panicking or something now, right?I smirked once again. It'll be just a matter of time before she comes to me and then, my real plan will begin.I got into my car once I was ready for work and I stopped by the café in front of the

RayaI can't explain the relief I felt at seeing my boss. It was like the evil words he had said to me never existed, and I glanced at the officer, "See I told you that I knew nothing about it.""Still, we'll have to keep your account frozen until we figure everything out. That'll be all then.""Wait!" I couldn't control the horrified look that blossomed on my face, "What about my money?""What money?" Both Kendall and Mr. Sterling and the officer glanced back at me."The money that was in my bank account. I had about one to two thousand dollars there.""Well, you won't be able to access it for the time being because it has been frozen. So..."He left, and I felt my heart drop to my stomach. "Not my money, not my savings. How was I meant to pay my expenses now, my rent, Kyle's school fees...""Are you okay?" I turned to Mr. Sterling, who asked that question and he looked genuinely worried.F*ck! What was I meant to do now?We sat in his car some minutes later, Kendall holding my hand

MaxwellIt's just a matter of time.You don't have to feel guilty.You're not doing such a bad thing.It's only to...Why was I even doing this again?Well, because she was proud, arrogant and annoying. I just wanted to put her in her place.I ran a hand through my hair and sat down at my mini-bar where I sipped my whiskey.I couldn't take off the look she had given when they told her that her account would remain frozen from my mind, and it was killing me.I hated feeling like that. I don't think I've ever felt like this except with Diane, but that was different, of course.I poured another glass of whiskey for myself and fell asleep with that thought until the next morning when I got ready for work.I walked into the office where Raya was already placing some documents on my table, and I cleared my throat, "good morning sir" she said. Well, that was new. She was not frowning or blank but was actually smiling."Morning""This is the final guest list for the event and the market rese

RayaSeven thousand dollars.It was a lot just to cook and clean and take care of his needs. I just had to ignore his arrogance and put up with it. It won't be for long, right?I tossed around on my bed as I tried to sleep that night.The thought of my conversation with my boss kept popping into my mind and distracting me from sleep.Not that I had slept before.I stood up from bed and went to the kitchen where I poured a glass of water for myself and I turned to Kyle when he walked in."Kyle, what is the matter?"He climbed into my arms and hugged me."A nightmare?" I asked and he nodded."Sorry, let's go to sleep. It's still early."I carried him to my bed where I patted him to sleep, and I picked up my laptop when he was back to sleep peacefully.William Rodriguez.He had gone to the Senate house and had appeared at an event with his wife.It was surreal how much he had changed both physically and career wise. I would never have thought people would vote for him to be a senator, b

RayaI was still looking like a tomato by the time I walked into his house some moments later, and he walked straight to the stairs where he whipped around. I glanced off in another direction.Was that a chuckle I heard?That made me quite angry.Making me uncomfortable on my first day here, and he was laughing."You can do whatever you want in the kitchen. I'll be back in a minute."I hurried into the kitchen, not waiting for a moment as he walked up the stairs and I glanced into the fridge where I found nothing but packs of beer and a few side dishes.I was guessing that was either bought or from another woman, because I don't think he could cook sh*t to save his life.I went ahead to warm one of the dishes while preparing a cup of coffee for him and I served him on a plate when he came back.He was thankfully dressed now and had his hair slicked back the way he normally did."Here" he said as he delved into the dish of toast and coffee which I had made, and I collected the paper h

Maxwell Her lips were soft. I had felt that when I wiped the ketchup on her lips earlier that day and I tried not to dwell on the softness over and over again. "How is it going?" Ryan asked as he sat beside me near the counter in the club where I sat and I shrugged. "Okay" "Hmm, what is it?" His eyebrows were cocked "What?" "You're not as enthusiastic as I expected. Why? Is your plan not working?" I shrugged again, "it's working. It's just that... I need to get laid" Get all these wandering thoughts away from my head. "Then get laid. There are a lot of pretty girls here." Yeah, but not as pretty as she is. What? I choked on my drink at that thought. Pretty? There was no way I thought she was pretty. "What is it?" Ryan's voice asked at the back of my thoughts and I ignored it. Yeah, she looked good some of the time, but pretty, that was far-fetched. I swept my eyes through the room, looking for a candidate to participate in f*cking with, and I found a m

RayaIt took quite a while for my blushing to calm down after the whole fiasco that had happened in his house and he bandaged the cut I had incurred on myself."We should go" he said as soon as he finished, and I nodded, forgetting the fact that I had made him some pancakes with sugary sauce."Oh right, I did..."He walked up to the plate of pancakes that were probably already cold before I could complete my sentence and picked up one, "Let's go."We walked out to his car where he got in the driver's seat and I hesitated, afraid that he might drive carelessly the way he had done the other time.He popped his head out of the window, "get in, I'm not going to drive too fast."I got in, anyway, not like I had a choice, and he started the car after finishing the pancake.That was surprising because I thought he would have complained or something."So what's my schedule for the day?" He asked as we headed to the company."A visit to the fashion show venue. Supervision of the model rehearsa
