Mr. CEO and His Secretary Chapter 50
RayaI finally found the restroom, taking a deep breath once I was in, and I stood in front of the large mirror, taking deep gulps of breath.Jeez, did they have to stare like that?I had wished for the ground to open up and swallow and also cursed the moment I decided on putting on the dress I had found.It had laid on the bed, elegant and pretty with a note saying to wear it if I wanted, and I thought about it for minutes.If I didn't go, it would seem rude, but what do I care? It's not like I knew her before. Still, she had invited me personally.I shouldn't insult her by not going.I had finally picked up the dress to wear and immediately loved it, on wearing it.It fitted me perfectly and my hair, left down, had done even more justice to the cloth. I jumped when a lady in blue walked in. She was a bit tanned with dark hair, and she smiled when she saw me, "hi""Hi" I said, nervous all over again."I've never seen you before."Okay, they were saying it like they all knew each ot

MaxwellRaya was not back yet, even though it was about an hour ago since she left for the restroom and the party itself was about to start.I started feeling uneasy.Did she get lost?Couldn't find her way back?It was a large establishment but direct and open, it would definitely be easy for anyone to find a large hall, especially one where most of the guests lodged in the place were attending a wedding rehearsal party dinner.Except she didn't want to come again.Maybe she had changed her mind and went back to the room.I sipped the champagne I had grabbed from a waiter and fidgeted with the glass.That would be a shame though, because I wanted to see her in that dress one more time."What are you thinking about?" Ryan, who I had forgotten, was still beside me, asked as we sat down at our table in the dining hall and I shrugged."Nothing""Hey, you look like you're worried about something. Your secretary? Right, where is she?"I loosened up another button on my shirt and finished t

RayaI woke up to the feeling of something warm under me.Something strongSomething human and I opened my eyes to see what it was, only to find myself in a compromising situation.Mr. Sterling in the same bed with me, underneath me. I jumped back immediately in an attempt to get away from him, only for both of us to wince loudly.Nice one. Just nice.My hair was stuck with his button and that was preventing me from going into a hole to hide.Like how did this happen?I needed to immigrate forever after this because... why?I stopped abruptly when his hand suddenly wrapped around my waist firmly."Stop moving around" he said through gritted teeth, though I couldn't see that much and he proceeded to untangle my hair from his shirt button.I immediately plopped onto the bed beside him and stood up.The hangover headache hit me then and I stumbled.He was by my side in no time."Are you okay?" I yanked my arm which he had held away from him and moved even further away."Why..."Wait!"Wh

Maxwell I walked into Ryan's room later that morning, not bothering to knock on the door, and I was met with the sight of him in bed with a woman.Probably one of the guests for the wedding.He got out of bed and put on his shorts while the lady went into the bathroom, flustered.I shook my head at him."What?" He said, non-chalant, and I sat on the couch."Already sleeping around so soon"He scoffed, "like you didn't have a nice time with your secretary last night.""Uhn?""Is that not why you didn't come back to the party?""What?""You, your secretary, alone in the room at night."I rolled my eyes at his mischievous smile."Nothing happened, idiot."He scoffed, "yeah right."Okay, something did happen, but how was I to know that my secretary would end up on top of me the next morning by the time I was lying down beside her the day before?It had been unexpected and especially shocking for me because I couldn't understand the way I had felt at that moment either.Aroused.I had got

RayaI wasn't sure why I felt disappointed.It was like I had been expecting something of him which he didn't meet up to, and now I was feeling empty.But why?It was a known fact that he's a playboy and I shouldn't have been expecting anything from him really. If anything, he had done a lot of nice things for me already which I wasn't expecting and that should be enough.I went back into the room from the balcony which I had been looking from and collapsed on the bed.I was bored.There was nothing to do really, even though he had said we were going on a business trip. It felt more like a vacation than a business trip, and he really hadn't given me anything else to do apart from my little survey before.I sighed repeatedly in a row and stood up to explore the room more, only to find a book that was in the wardrobe none of us had bothered to use.I wondered who had it.Mr. Sterling? A former lodger in the room?I picked up the book, happy that I had found something to do, and lay on

RayaCalm down.He's not going to hurt you.He can't hurt you.He's just a man now.He doesn't mean anything to you.All these mantras didn't do much to calm me down as I walked away from the wedding that was happening, and I felt myself gasping for air when I got to a place where people were gathered.Mostly the workers in their places of work, but that was enough for me.I didn't want to be alone.What if he found me?Stalked me.I didn't want to think about it."Ah!" I gasped when a hand suddenly wrapped around my shoulder. It was none other than the attendant from earlier.I used a moment to catch my breath."Are you okay ma'am?" She asked, staring at me with concern, and I nodded."You look pale" she added, and I nodded. It was expected, since I had just seen a ghost from my past.William Rodriguez.Now a senator and father of two.I couldn't comprehend it no matter how much I thought about it. How did he become a senator?Connections, of course, but... Marriage... Was Isabella

MaxwellRaya finally calmed down after a while, her breath coming out in hiccups, and she shivered in my arms, trembling.I helped her to her feet."You should take a bath. You're shivering"She didn't say anything and just nodded, and I led her to the bathroom where I set the bath to a warm temperature."I'll be outside if you need anything" i said to her and left, and I pondered on why she would have reacted to Mr. Rodriguez that way.How did they even know each other, and what was the deal between them?I was curious if I'd be honest, but I didn't want to push her either, so I determined in my mind not to ask.I would just act like nothing happened and leave tomorrow morning. We had a magazine party to attend.I paused when I saw a book on the bed, Ice hockey revenge. What? Had she really been reading that?Of course, I knew the book and had read it way back in high school.Shocker, I read books.Erotic books as I grew older.It was all thanks to Mac.I smiled and put the book awa

RayaWe stopped at Miss Gladys' design house before going to our hotel and there I couldn't help but jump constantly on my seat because of how excited I was.Of course, I made sure to write things that were important, but it was mostly just information on how to go about administrating the brand from New York."Okay then, I'll see you at the event later tomorrow" Mr. Sterling nodded, and we got back into the car that took us to the hotel."I didn't know you knew Miss. Gladys" he said as we drove through the city.I glanced at him, "she's a popular designer, who wouldn't know her.""Right but you called her your model and all that..."I got flustered. My love for fashion design was not something I talked about a lot. "Well, I just love fashion designing a lot, so..."He nodded and took out his phone to do something, and we arrived at the hotel within minutes.This time, I thankfully had a room to myself and even though it was just for two days that we'll be in Korea, I couldn't wait to

RayaThe day of the wedding arrived, my dress ready, the makeup artist, and the hair stylist in my room to make me the most beautiful bride ever, and I had the support of my best friend and soon-to-be mother-in-law."My God, you look so beautiful," she said when I finally put on the dress, my hair and makeup done, and I scrunched my face, trying not to cry."Thank you.""I'll be the best mother I can be to you, and trust that you can tell me anything and everything."I knew that already considering the time we had spent together before even getting proposed to and the time for me to walk down the aisle finally came, Maxwell's dad meeting by the door where he was to lead me to the aisle because I had asked him to hold my arms.He was going to be the dad I never had, was already even, and I felt myself tearing up as I finally saw my husband-to-be by the pastor at the front of the little audience.I had only invited the closest people to me, which weren't many. My son, of course, Kendall

RayaI was pregnant.The pregnancy kit test had said so, and I had done it multiple times, my heart dropping even lower as each one confirmed that fact, and now I was going to my best friend's house to tell her."You're pregnant?"She looked happy, but should she? I mean, I wasn't sure I was."Why aren't you happy? This is good news, right?"I shrugged, my panic probably showing in my eyes, and she held my hands. "I mean, what if he doesn't want it?""And why wouldn't he want it?""I... I don't know."She squeezed my hand, drawing back my attention to her, and her face looked fierce. "Don't you dare let your past invade your future again. I thought we were past that."I thought we were too, but the memory of William kicking me and beating me when I first told him I was pregnant wouldn't just get out of my head."I don't know Kendall; I'm scared." She pulled me into her arm, squeezing me tight as I let out my tears, and I sniffed loudly when I was done."So what are you going to do now

RayaI couldn't believe this.Maxwell had proposed.Like, yes, I had suspected something was up with the way Kendall kept acting suspicious when she took me to the mall from my workshop, and it had basically to get into a new dress, which she said was for an event she wanted me to accompany her to, but guess what? She wasn't dressed up, so which event?My proposal.The thought made me laugh after we pulled away from the kiss and Maxwell stared into my eyes, "What?""It's just... Did you put Kendall up to that? Getting me to dress up and keeping me away from my house."He chuckled at the realization too, "Uhm... Yeah, I couldn't let you find out that I was proposing until I was ready, and did she do a good job?"I shrugged, "Not bad, but I did suspect something was up.""I know, right?"I stared into his eyes seriously after we stopped chuckling and pulled him even closer to me, "I love you."He smiled, "I love you too.""I love you even more."We kept going until he picked me off the

Maxwell"And how is the pop-up event coming up?" I sat on the chair in my office, having a Zoom meeting with our manager over in South Korea, and he nodded his head."Going well, it'll be announced during the official campaign of the new collection.""Okay good. Send me a final review when it is ready, okay?""Okay sir"I cut the line and I turned to my secretary, who had been waiting for me to finish."So...""The financial report, sir.""Right. Are they ready for me?""Yes sir""Good"I took the report from her, taking a look at it as we headed to the financial department for our meeting, and I had a meeting with the marketing department before deciding that it was time to clock off work.It'll soon be time for Kyle's football competition, so I had to close early."Maxwell..." Raya waved at me from where she sat with Kendall and Leah because Michael was also playing too when I got there and I made my way to them."Babe"I kissed her on the lips lightly, smiling at the small kid tha

RayaIt was no surprise to both me and Maxwell when Diane finally got admitted into a mental hospital two years later after injuring her supposed best friend, Tyla, whose relationship she had also scattered, and the world seemed confused by that.Not so much me and Maxwell though, even though it was quite crazy considering how normal she looked.Like, who would have thought she was an unhinged person with issues?Anyway, I made progress in my school, ignoring the scandals and all that always seemed to involve me and my boyfriend, and when I was finally done with it, like, can you imagine, I was finally a graduate in fashion designing, my son and boyfriend were there with me to support me.I walked onto that stage with pride to receive my certificate, and the sight of my son and boyfriend cheering me up in the crowd made me tear up.We took photos when we were out, and my son took photos of me and Maxwell while he carried me into the air.It felt so surreal.Kyle wasn't a little boy ei
Mr. CEO and His Secretary Chapter 158
RayaI couldn't concentrate on anything due to the recent happenings, and I still hadn't heard from Maxwell.It was disheartening.He must be annoyed that I had slept with another person even though I had been drugged, right?I too was jealous about him and Tyla, but the whole matter had died down just as quickly as it had risen up. The people had found something else to talk about.As for me, I hadn't moved on because I was the one involved and the other person involved still hadn't called me.He wasn't picking up his calls either, and his friend had no idea where he had gone.So I got into my car the next day to go back to his house. I'll stop on the way to see Kyle at the family house, then maybe I'll have some more strength to face all this because if I said I wasn't discouraged, I would be lying.Kyle was happy to see me as well as Maxwell's parents, though they had seen the news, so I had to explain everything to them.Maxwell's father seemed to be doing better, maybe because he

MaxwellA trip to our family hospital confirmed that not only Raya had been drugged but me also, and that made me baffled.I picked up my phone when it rang, "And?"It was Raya, so I knew she wanted to know the results."We were both drugged.""But why? Why would anyone do that?"I wanted to know too. Why would she want to destroy our relationship?After all, she had been the one to dump me, not the other way around.I cut the call with Raya after a while in order to go find my answers, and I cocked an eyebrow when I saw Tyla's car leaving her compound just as I drove in."Diane!"She came to the door, surprised when she saw me, and she let me in. "What's wrong?"I turned on her almost immediately, "What's wrong? Really? Are you trying to play dumb right now?""What's wrong? I don't understand.""You don't understand? What don't you understand? Drugging someone or arranging with your best friend to destroy my relationship."Her face was blank, like she didn't know what I was talking

MaxwellI woke up to the feeling of someone's arms around me. Soft and feminine.The smell too.Wait, that's not... That's not Raya's smell.That's...The f*ck!I opened my eyes to see the person wrapped around me to be Tyla, and I jumped off the bed, almost pushing her to the ground in the process."The f*ck!"No, no, there's no way.My God."Maxwell...""No, no, don't you dare."She stirred on the bed, finally coming to her senses, but she didn't look... Surprised.If anything, she was calm."Can't you see that we're... We're naked?""Yes, naked indeed."She looked down at my d*ck, which I hadn't even known was exposed. I thought I had my freaking boxers on, and I picked it up from the ground immediately to put it on."God. How could you? How are you...."She turned on the bed, the covers slipping off her body, and I shook my head at her exposed breast.There was no point in talking to her.I had been a fool.I picked up the rest of my clothes, putting them on as I left the room, an

RayaThe bar was loud, the music playing over the speakers as people danced on the floor, and I went through my phone again.Still no message or calls from Maxwell.He should have called by now, or maybe he was just busy."Raya, you promised not to sit in a secluded corner while the rest of the world had fun. What are you? A female character in an enemies-to-lovers novel?"I chuckled as my roommate, Hailey, came to meet me by the counter.She had been the one to drag me out on a Friday night because I was obviously such an introvert who needed to have fun, whether I had a boyfriend or not."You don't have to hook up with anyone; just dance and have fun.""Yes, but you're forgetting that I offered to come so I could take you home. I'm having fun; I'm not much of a dancer."She rolled her eyes and picked up a new glass of alcohol before swirling away back into the crowd, and I went through my phone again until someone sat beside me.I sighed, ready to give the speech of how I was taken,
