Mr. CEO's Executive Secretary Chapter 34
After leaving the De Clarion Villa, Belle visits her new house as it’s not far from there. When she got in, she immediately looked at how she should have it set up, what furniture she needed, and all that.From there, she went straight to the mall, up to the floor where the furniture section is. Using the card Tristan gave her, she purchased everything she needed.She was told that it would all be delivered to her new house the next day. All she could do for now was wait for everything to arrive.As there was only an hour left before her set meeting with Lawrence, she went straight to the Williams Villa from the mall. She was already feeling anxious about this dinner meeting.While on her way, she kept thinking about how else she should spend her money. However, no matter how hard she tried to squeeze her brain, she can’t come up with anything.Looking out her car’s window, she realized that she had already been in front of the villa for several minutes. As her thoughts were somewhere

“How is this happening?” Vernice asked Esme as soon as they stepped inside her bedroom.“Shh! Your father might hear you,” she scolded her daughter for being careless with her actions. “You need to pretend you’re fine with everything while I come up with a plan.”“From what I heard, she has already received two billion dollars from the De Clarions alone. Now she’s getting seventy-five percent of what’s supposed to be ours. Isn’t she being too lucky?!” Vernice was furious.Esme went out of her daughter’s bedroom and headed to their own. She opened her dresser and took something from her wallet before coming back to Vernice’s room.“Take this,” handing her daughter a bank card. “This has five hundred million, take it to Hans and make sure to work for your company in the meantime. We can’t do anything at the moment or your father will get suspicious. Let’s take a break for now.”Vernice snatched the card from Esme, “What are you planning to do?” she asked. She’s aware of how vicious her

“John? What happened?” Belle answered the phone quickly after seeing Frederick’s number on the screen. However, it was John who was calling and not the old De Clarion.“Belle, are you busy?”“No, I’m at home right now, I just woke up,” Belle glanced at the clock on her wall, it was already fifteen past ten in the morning.“That’s good. Mr. De Clarion wants to know if you can come to the villa right now. He needs your help on something.”Belle’s brows furrowed, “Mr. De Clarion who?” she asked.“It’s the old De Clarion, little girl,” John told her, chuckling, as he already knew why she asked that.According to Jacob, Belle’s been avoiding Tristan since the divorce. His son told him that they hadn’t seen the woman since she left the company.Jacob also told him that they only happened to see her from afar. They waited outside the villa just to get a glimpse of her, as Tristan didn’t want her to see him as well.“Alright, tell Grandpa I’ll be there in an hour.”When John ended the call, s

“How are you?” Esme asked her daughter as soon as she opened the door and saw her standing there with her luggage.Esme called a maid to help Vernice with her things, while she and her daughter went straight to the bedroom. She pulled her to sit down, worry written all over her face.After what happened between her and Hans, Vernice called her mother, telling her she wouldn’t come home for some weeks. When she said some weeks, she didn’t expect her daughter would be away for almost three months.“How are things here?” she asked Esme, not even bothering to answer her mother’s question.“Good you ask,” Esme, who was obviously annoyed, peeked outside the door before closing it, making sure no one was there to hear them. “Belle now has her own company. She started a cybersecurity company with that friend of hers,” referring to Nathalie.“Glad she’s living a good life,” Vernice’s voice was full of sarcasm. “What are you planning to do now?”“Leave it to me my darling, I’ll take care of thi

“Any news?” Vernice asked when she saw Esme busy reading a magazine in the living room.She had been anxious to know what happened to Esme’s plan of poisoning the old De Clarion and putting the blame on Belle. She was about ready to celebrate it.She shook her head at her daughter, “They got lucky! The old man was rushed quickly to the hospital. Maybe next time I should make a move on the butler too, so no one can save him!”Vernice frowned at her mother’s response. She clicked her tongue in annoyance before plopping on the couch.“I heard that bitch, Belle, got slapped though. Not sure if Tristan would sue her, but he blatantly accused her of poisoning Frederick De Clarion. I heard he also vandalized her company as soon as he found out what happened to his grandfather.”Vernice chuckled. “I can’t imagine Tristan being that childish when taking revenge. He should have sent her to jail and let her rot there,” she smirked.“We’ll try again. We will try again and we won’t stop until we g

Lawrence flew to Dale to deal with some business-related mishaps. As soon as he left, Esme and Vernice started to regroup. Of course, their agenda was none other than Belle.“I heard Eric invited Belle out tonight,” Vernice informed her mother, who was busy checking her Facebook account.Esme immediately took her eyes off her phone and focused on Vernice. “How did you know?” She was surprised that her daughter could get such information on her own.“I heard it from a friend. She told me it was the latest hot news in the business circle and among the bachelors and bachelorettes of Bree. It’s Eric Thompson, anyway.”“That’s good! We can trick Tristan into going to the same place to make him see how much of a bitch that woman is!”Vernice put her hand up, signaling her mom to shut up. “Why are you so obsessed with Tristan catching Belle? What’s in it for us?”“Your brain really malfunctions at times, no?” she was starting to get irritated as her daughter was showing signs of stupidity ag

After Belle gathered her things, she immediately left the suite. Eric chased after her but she didn’t even bother looking back.Dispirited and guilty at the same time, Eric let out a long, frustrated sigh before he turned on his heel and headed back to his suit. He walked straight to Tristan, eyeing the man from head to toe.“Does it hurt?” he asked. Tristan nodded without second thoughts. “Good for you, you very well deserved that!”Tristan glared at him. “Thompson, I really don’t like you right now!” he spat at him.Eric snorted, “The feeling is mutual. I bet even Jacob here hates you at this very moment.”Jacob, who'd been quiet since Eric and Belle stepped out of the bedroom, suddenly looked up. He glanced at Tristan and saw him glaring at him.He wanted to say something but he chose to stay quiet instead. ‘Why is Thompson dragging me into this? Is he trying to get me killed?’ he asked himself.“Do you even know what happened last night? Do you know why I brought her here? Do you?

At the De Clarion Villa, John helped Frederick out of the car. After more than a week of staying in the hospital, he was finally released.“How is Belle?” the old man immediately asked, as soon as he settled on his bed.John frowned after hearing him ask about their little girl. He then narrated everything to his old buddy.“He’s really that stupid, huh?” Frederick was referring to none other than his very own grandson. John nodded in agreement.Frederick let out a sigh, leaned back, and tapped his friend’s shoulder. “Please call Belle for me, tell her I’m out and I want to see her.”John followed immediately. Belle agreed to visit the old man, but she told them that she could only drop by after lunch, as she still had meetings to attend.When Belle’s finally done with her work, she gathers her stuff to prepare for her leave. She let Nathalie know that she was stepping out to visit Frederick.Her friend simply nodded at her and smiled. Belle was a little suspicious but she didn’t pay

On their bed and while lying on Tristan’s arm, Belle recalled the invitation she got earlier. She forgot to mention it to the man over dinner and even after.“Love, I got a cruise invitation,” she started. “I’m sure you have one too. Are you going?”Although sleepy, Tristan forced himself to respond. “I am, I know the organizer. He’s a good friend of mine. You should go too.”“Can we go together?”“I have a meeting that day and I don’t know what time it will end. The cruise will leave at eight but you have to be there by six for the program. You can go first. I’ll ask Marco to drive you there.”“Alright then. You look very tired love, go ahead and sleep.”Belle planted a kiss on the man’s forehead before squeezing closer to him. Minutes later, they were both taken to dreamland.A few more days later and the day of the cruise came. Just like what they talked about, Belle went ahead. He’ll meet Tristan there.Surprisingly, when she boarded the yacht docked at the Bree Port, no one was t

When Tristan and Jacob arrived at the hospital, Belle’s attending physician told them that the woman had been moved to a hospital in Dale. This was the request of the patient, according to him.Upon hearing that, Tristan instructed Jacob to call the company’s pilot and prepare the private jet. They have to reach Dale as soon as possible.Fortunately, they didn’t take that long to reach the hospital where Belle’s confined. Jacob did the honor of approaching the nurse’s station to ask where the woman’s room was.When Tristan found out that Belle was staying in a ward, he ordered Jacob to move her to a private room. And there he spent all his time taking care of her.“What happened to her?” Lydia asked.Tristan was a bit startled as he didn’t hear anyone opening the door. He stopped wiping Belle’s arm and placed the towel back in the basin.He sat on the chair next to Belle’s bed, and let out a sigh, before facing Belle’s adopted parents. “I’m really sorry about this,” he started.The yo

Tristan dropped Belle off at her company. She was about to enter after greeting the guard when someone called her. She immediately turned around and, to her horror, it was Esme and she was holding a gun.“Finally, we’ve met! I’ve been trying to see you for days!” Esme sneered.“Put the gun down Madam!” the guard shouted, walking over in front of Belle to protect her.However, instead of following the guard’s order, she shoots him. The guard immediately dropped right in front of Belle and it freaked her out.“What are you doing?” she screamed, but Esme just smiled at her. The crazy woman gestured for her to go in and Belle quickly followed.When they reached her office, Esme locked the door and pushed Belle to her table. “I still can’t believe that you’re alive…” she whispered.Belle wanted to say something but no voice would come out of her. She’s been inhaling and exhaling since they got in, but it won’t calm her nerves.Esme made her sit on her swivel chair, while she was pacing bac

It was already bright and shiny when the police finished their investigation. Belle feels like her head is not attached to her neck. Everyone else looked like they were floating."According to the investigation, the guard said that a woman in her late 40s entered the village saying she was a visitor to Luisa Villa," the investigator stated.“Why did he let her in? He didn’t even ask for identification?” Frederick asked irritatedly.“Actually Mr. De Clarion, he did, but what’s weird is that he received a call from someone claiming that the woman should be allowed in. The person who called introduced himself as the butler of the family, John.”Frederick looked at John and so was the rest of the people in the living room. The man raised both hands and spoke, “I have nothing to do with that call.”The police nodded at him, “We believe that Sir, we checked your background and we found out that you’ve been serving the De Clarions for almost four decades already. In addition, you do not have

The past days and weeks have been peaceful for everyone. Joyce was locked up and there was no news about Esme either.Seeing that it’s safe to go back to work, Belle and Tristan decide to resume their posts, Him as CEO of De Clarion Empire and her as CEO of Sweet Sue.All is well for them or that was what they thought.Little did they know, someone was watching all their moves. Someone was hoping to take revenge on them, all of them.A week after Belle came back to the company, she received a package with a dead rat inside. It also came with a note that says ‘You’re next.’Instead of taking it seriously, she decided to just have it thrown away. She also ordered the guard not to receive any packages, unless he knew who they came from.After one more week and three more packages with warning notes, it stopped. To not cause any worry, Belle decided not to tell Tristan about it.However, on her way home one night, as soon as she turned left to the next street, she saw one of the homes in

Everyone was surprised to see Lawrence Williams. No one expected him to show up at the De Clarion Villa.“Dad!” Belle exclaimed before rushing to her father. “How are you?”Ignoring his daughter, Lawrence turned to Frederick first. “I apologize for coming without notice. I just wanted to check on my daughter,” he explained.“That’s not a problem,” the old De Clarion responded. “Please sit down.”As soon as they had settled down, Lawrence turned to his daughter. “What were you saying earlier? What did Esme do last night?”Belle, Tristan, and Jacob repeated the story for Lawrence to hear. After learning everything, the man started bawling and no one stopped him.Everyone in the living room let him pour out his emotions. They understood what he was going through, they understood his pain.When Lawrence calmed down, he apologized again for the scene he had just caused. Then again, he was forgiven right away.“I don’t understand why she keeps doing things she’s not supposed to do. I try my

As the news was about to start, Lawrence grabbed a plate and placed some food there. He leaned back and started eating, while the maid placed his coffee on the end table.A female newscaster was then shown on the screen and behind her was a villa with a beautiful landscape. Lawrence can’t help but be impressed.‘News Flash! Just this morning, a cleaner called the police station to report a murder case. According to the informant, she arrived at this villa as part of her daily schedule. She has the key and has access to the main door and all the other rooms. As she was used to no one being home early in the morning, she proceeded to open the master’s bedroom and was horrified by what she saw.On the bed, a man was lying down, looking wasted, and next to her was a woman bathing in her blood. According to the police, the woman sustained 18 stab wounds on her neck, chest, and stomach. The man with her was taken to police custody for further investigation.The police cannot give any inform

Belle nervously opened the door to the villa. She was quietly praying that when she got home, Tristan would be there waiting for her.When she got in, it was only Frederick and John talking in the living room. Still hopeful, she quickened her pace and sat next to the old man.“Is Tristan home? What about Jacob?”The old De Clarion exchanged looks with the butler. “They’re not here, what happened?” John asked, worried and confused.Belle started narrating what happened. Fiddling with her fingers, she couldn’t stop worrying although John had already told her that he was coming with her to look for them.Meanwhile, outside the villa gifted to Vernice, Esme’s car was parked in a dark spot. Waiting for who knows who, she took out her phone and started dialing.“Where are you?”“We’re on our way. We got the girl.”A smile broke on Esme’s face, she was already feeling triumphant.Minutes later, a car parked next to Esme’s car. “Go right in. Tristan’s already there. CCTVs are everywhere in th

Days passed and Thursday arrived. Belle’s going to meet Vernice at Eden. She was nervous initially, but after she told Tristan about it the last time they met, he assured her that he'd be there too and that dissipated her worries.When the clock strikes 6 in the evening, Belle starts preparing. Since it was just a casual meet-up, she decided to dress casually as well.After taking a shower, she dried her hair and applied a thin layer of face powder on her face. Then she grabbed a red cardigan, black jeans, and a red slip-on. She just tied her hair in a high ponytail and set off.Belle arrived past 7 and the bar was already packed. As soon as she stepped in, she looked up to check the VIP room that was assigned to Tristan. She secretly smiled and sighed in relief when she saw that the lights were on.After confirming Tristan’s presence, she proceeds to walk in, looking around. She then saw Vernice waving at her, so she approached her table and sat in front of her.“I thought you were n
