Mr. CEO's Executive Secretary Chapter 56
“What is wrong with you?” Eric asked Tristan as soon as he stepped inside the VIP lounge. Both boss and assistant looked at him with their foreheads creased. “Why are you always picking on Belle?” he sneered.Instead of answering, Tristan just downed the contents of his glass before putting it down on the table. Eric furrowed his brows at Jacob but he just shrugged at him.“You should stop doing that, man,” he warned, “unless you really want her to hate you.” “I don’t know either!” Tristan finally responded, lightly pulling his hair out of frustration. “When I saw her leaving with you earlier, I suddenly got pissed. I really didn’t mean to say those things to her and I can’t understand myself too!”“What’s so bad about her being with me?” Eric asked, confused. “Belle doesn’t have many friends here, you’re aware of that. She obviously doesn’t want to go with you for some reason. Of course, she’ll ask me. She wanted to attend the auction badly and she wasn’t invited. Who else will she

When Jacob woke up the next day, he was surprised to see that it was already past nine in the morning. Luckily, they don’t have any scheduled meetings before lunch.Still, he stood up and headed to the guest room. He was startled to see that Tristan was already awake, and smiling. He was about to say something but he shushed him.It was only then that Jacob realized that Belle was sleeping next to him. He walked backward quietly and closed the door as gently as possible.He headed for the kitchen and took the initiative to prepare coffee for all three of them. Regardless of whether they will come out sooner or later, it’s still best to prepare cups for both Belle and Tristan.Belle reached out to her side and hugged the person next to her, resting her head on his chest. Tristan couldn’t help but smile. He never thought it would feel this good to wake up next to Belle.“Sweetheart…” he whispered, but Belle just let out a low moan for an answer. Tristan’s body stiffened, particularly th

Vernice stopped on her track after hearing what Joyce said. She slowly turned around and walked back to their table.Looking at her so-called friend, she slowly sat in front of her. “What do you have in mind?” she asked.“Do you happen to know where that little devil lives?”Vernice narrowed her eyes at the woman. She propped a hand under her chin and furrowed her brows, “Not sure, but I can ask around. You want her address?”“Yep! Give it to me by tonight at the latest, we’ll have a little surprise for her.” After saying that, Joyce took her bag and stood up. “Let’s go, I’m bored!”Passing by De Clarion Empire, she asked Vernice to drop her off. Waving goodbye to each other, they went on their separate ways.Joyce walked towards the entrance of the building hurriedly, excited about seeing Tristan again. However, the guard immediately stopped her when she was about to go in.“What are you doing?” she sneered.“Good morning Miss Blake! I’m sorry but you’re not allowed to get in,” the g

After having lunch, Tristan and Jacob stayed in Belle’s company a little longer. “Did you find out who donated my necklace under your name?” Belle asked Tristan before sipping from her cup of coffee.Tristan shook his head, “You can ask Jacob here, he talked to the organizer,” gesturing to his assistant to take the floor.“What happened?” Belle asked before Jacob could speak.``The man cleared his throat, “It was indeed a setup, but we didn’t get to know who the donor was. I talked to the organizer just this morning. I was told that they received an anonymous call that an item would be donated but it must be under Tristan's name. The necklace was delivered to the venue just an hour after they received the call. The person who instructed them also told them that it was meant as a surprise, but they have no idea for whom,” Jacob narrated.Belle nodded her head slowly, still wondering who was the culprit. When he talked to Lawrence to inform him that she had gotten the necklace back, her

Belle felt like her body was doused with ice-cold water after hearing what Nathalie said. She walked closer to the television to hear the news better.“How can this be?” Nathalie muttered, rooted in her place.“Let’s go!” Tristan said.Belle was shocked when someone grabbed her by the elbow, but she quickly recovered when she realized it was Tristan. Not knowing where they were going, she followed anyway.All four of them went straight to the parking lot. Jacob was in the driver's seat, Nathalie took the passenger seat, and Tristan and Belle took the backseat.“How can there be a fire in our neighborhood?” Nathalie whispered as she started sobbing.“Who’s there around this time?” Belle asked, worried about her friend’s relatives.Nathalie shook her head, “I don’t know. Maybe my Aunt is home now? Or my Uncle? I don’t know!” she replied, then her sobbing grew louder.From De Clarion Empire, it would take them thirty to forty-five minutes to reach Nathalie’s neighborhood. But with Jacob’

Belle prepared the guestroom for Nathalie's aunt and uncle. Jacob and Tristan, on the other hand, stood in the living room, waiting for both women.“You can rest for now. I’ll ask Nathalie to accompany you tomorrow to the mall so you can buy some clothes,” she informed them.Fely walked closer to Belle, reaching out for her hands, “Thank you, Belle, thank you so much for all this,” she was teary-eyed.The middle-aged woman never liked Belle. She always thought that she was not a good influence on her niece.That is why she’s very thankful, as she didn’t expect such a gesture from her. From the moment Belle offered help, Fely knew she was wrong about her.When the couple finally settled in, Belle and Nathalie went out to the living room. Tristan pulled Belle to sit next to him and Jacob did the same to Nathalie.“How are you?” Jacob asked, holding his girlfriend’s hand, as they were still shaking.Nathalie let out a long sigh, “Fine, I guess,” she replied, smiling lazily at him.Jacob

Joyce was fuming mad after what Vernice told her. She walked over to her mini bar, grabbed a bottle of vodka, and drank straight from it.Her hands were shaking terribly as if she wanted to strangle someone, to murder someone. Then she recalled what Tristan had done to her earlier and that added fuel to the fire.She looked around for something until she found her robe and grabbed it. She wore it over her pajamas, grabbed the car key, and took the bottle of vodka with her.Joyce stormed out of her apartment, straight to the elevator, and down to the parking lot. Inside her car, she bowed down the steering wheel, pondering whether she should go or not.But then everything that happened came back to her again and because of that, her anger heightened. She turned the engine on and drove to Tristan’s penthouse.“Miss Blake,” the guard on duty was a little surprised to see her.He was used to seeing Joyce dressed sophisticatedly, hair and makeup all in place. But right now, she is a mess.

Belle asked Nathalie to take her aunt and uncle to the mall to buy sets of clothes for the couple. They lost everything because of the fire.She then headed to the office to finish the presentation she needed for a client in the afternoon. When Belle got there, an unexpected visitor greeted her.“Dad? What are you doing here?” she asked as she kissed his hand and hugged him. Lawrence had just come back from Dale where he dealt with one of his business branches.“I just thought of paying you a visit,” he said, smiling as we walked towards the office. He then sat on the chair right in front of the table.Belle placed her bag on the swivel chair and sat on the other chair right in front of her father. “Coffee?” she asked and when he nodded, Belle called for her secretary to bring it to them.“How are things here? Did you manage to get the necklace?”Belle nodded at the man, smiling, “Yes dad, I won it from the auction,” then she stood up, unlocked her drawer, and handed him the box with

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
