Chapter 9: An Awful Ride
Last Updated:
2023-08-05 00:30:00Before Denver could go to call on Ariadne, Molly dragged him by his arm and pulled him into the first cable car. “Denver, let’s sit together”
Denver was confused.“I thought you’re aware that I want to sit with Ariadne instead”With a smile, Molly waved her hands dismissively. “Hey, don’t get me in the wrong. I mean we should sit here and wait for her return. There’s no need to go looking for her, she just went to use the restroom.”She looked confident while fixing her gaze on Denver as she continued, “what if she returned after you’ve left and you missed her? We’ll have to start waiting for you instead then.”Denver paused in his tracks. He raised his hand to his head and smoothed his fingers into his hair, thinking that whatever Molly said made sense. Hence, he decided to return in the cable car with her to wait for Ariadne.A smug smile appeared on her lips when she saw that Ariadne still wasn’t back a few minutes later whenRelated chapters
Mr CEO’s Little Heartthrob Chapter 10: An Awful Date
‘What went wrong?’This question had been playing on Denver’s mind for the past three days. You might be wondering why a prideful Denver would be so bothered… Well, Ariadne has been snubbing his calls and chats ever since they returned from that date a few days ago.Why wouldn’t she? I mean… It’s not everyday you get to play dress up, getting your mood all high, only for your spirits to be dashed or should I say smashed into shards by that awful experience of a date.Awful… yea. I mean, which man allows another woman to tag along with him while taking a girl out on a date?Okay….. she might be overreacting. He doesn’t even see her that way else the demeaning behavior.But it still hurts though. And for an eighteen year old Ariadne with lots of teenage hormones surging through her body, it’s understandable for her to vent right? Right. And she did.————————-Three Days Ago;“Oh my gosh, I’m so pissed. What a terrible day”Ariadne stormed into her dorm room, fuming and stamping her fee

Denver paced back and forth as his fingers tapped impatiently on his phone screen.“Snubbing huh?”His fingers trembled slightly as he dialed Ariadne's phone number for what felt like the hundredth time. Each ring felt like an eternity, stretching on without response. “Come on, Aria," he muttered under his breath, frustration evident in his voice. "Answer the damn phone."He sighed in frustration and continued pacing restlessly across his room. ‘Why wasn't she answering? What happened?’He picked up his phone again and scrolled through to check his text messages, realizing he had sent her a handful of messages over the past few days, but there was no response. It was as if his words had vanished into the void, leaving him in a state of disarray.Restlessness gnawed at him, and he began to stump his feet harder on the tiled floor with a growing sense of unease settling in the pit of his stomach.He re

How do you deal with a trouble shooter while ensuring to neither soil your hands nor dent your image? And you also want to do it in a way that will ensure you don’t uproot the root cause?Crazy right?Well, some root causes of a problem are worth playing with. What’s the fun in uprooting them? Either tweak one of their hands or break a leg and teach them a basic lesson. And voila! All men will straighten up.This is exactly how Denver felt at this moment. Today is not the best of days, but it’s definitely going to be a happy one for Denver and he’s loving it already. Why? He’s got asses to kick today. His favorite thing. Particularly the asses of old rogers with deep pockets longer than their throats.Heading back into the bathroom, he tugged at his sleepwear and the poor outfit came flying out of reach. He stood under the shower and turned on the faucet and water came running down his head, slowly coursing thro

Denver's patience was wearing thin, but he held back, letting the proceedings unfold. He watched as the accusations flew.After what felt like an eternity, Denver finally rose to his feet, the room falling silent as all eyes turned to him. "Thank you for your concerns. Of course, I will provide you an explanation, I wouldn’t let you lose money”He paused for a moment, his gaze remained steady as he locked his gaze on Jonathan Houston for a few moments before straying his eyes to the other directors who had aligned themselves against him. "I have carefully reviewed the accusations against me, and I assure you that the company's financial stability has always been my utmost priority."Biting his lips, he continued. “As we all know, Dreams Corporation entrusted with this project which entails ensuring an upgrade of their network systems. “We looked into the problem and discovered that their users were facing issues such as buffering downloads and ch

Denver froze!He stood rooted to a spot, tightening his grab on his phone as he stared into nothing in particular.He had yearned to hear this voice, or at least receive a text message in response to his chat. He had craved this one phone call for some days now. He even worried when she didn’t take his calls and wondered if she would be willing to talk to him again. He didn’t even know what went wrong. He had tried to convince himself that everything was fine. But it is not. He could feel it in his bones.Yet, when it finally came.. that one phone call he had greatly anticipated for days, he realized that he didn't know how to interact with her or react to her response.He gripped the edge of the conference table, his face registered in confusion as he nursed the nervousness entrapping him. Denver still had the phone slapped to his face after a few seconds. He knew that he should speak into the phone but the nerves coursin

Denver’s car pulled up in front of the planetarium. As the engine purred to a stop, Denver turned to Ariadne with a grin."Here we are," he said, his eyes feasting his eyes on her.Ariadne's heart was filled with glee as she looked out at the grand dome of the planetarium. Denver stepped out of the car and held the door for him. She also stepped down and trailed him as he began matching towards the entrance. She could hardly contain her excitement and almost stumbled over a sharp stone while walking.The glass doors opened with a soft whoosh, revealing an interior that was equally captivating. Ariadne's eyes widened as she took in the shimmering model of the solar system hanging from the ceiling, planets suspended in mid-air as if defying gravity.“Wow… this is beautiful” she exclaimed. Denver's voice pulled her attention away from the mesmerizing display. "Shall we explore?"Ariadne nodded eagerly, her heart racing as they vent

“This is not the direction to my school” she said, trying to alert him. She had been thinking about the time they spent together in the planetarium some minutes ago. The image of that starry night sky remained vivid in her memory. Ariadne is very sure that this memory will remain with her for a very long time. Lost in her thoughts, she was unaware that Denver was driving in a different route hence her call for alert. She thought he must have strayed because his eyes are not on the road.“I know” Denver responded.“Huh?” Her eyes widened in curiosity. “What do you mean? Where are you taking me if not back to my dorm?”He shifted his gaze towards her, “we agreed to catch dinner together after visiting the planetarium, didn’t we?”“Did we?” She queried, her confusion written all over her face. ‘When did he say it? Did I agree to it and I didn’t know? Nah, I don’t think so’“Did we not?” He chuckled.“Oohhm” she r

———-Back in her dorm———She stood in the middle of the space, clenching her fists tightly and a fire burning in her eyes. The events of the evening had left her with an unexplainable anger, and a storm of emotions swirled within her.The memory of Denver's calm demeanor while speaking to Molly on the phone earlier gnawed at her. It felt like a sharp sting that she couldn't shake off.She punched her fists in the air in frustration, in a motion to release the anger she felt within her. The thought of all this made her chest heavy. The sound of her breaths echoed in the room, with each exhale releasing some of the pent-up emotions threatening to consume her."Ugh, seriously?" she muttered to herself, frustration evident in her voice. "Why can't things just be straightforward?"She had listened in on their conversation and heard her asking him to come pick her up from the bar. And the lack of explanation from Denver only helped in fueling her anger‘What kind of promise did he make to he

“Is she really his fiancée as was rumored by everyone in the company?” She found herself mumbling to herself.Ariadne got too carried away by her running thoughts that she couldn’t have a good meal during the lunch break. Her mind was preoccupied with how she was going to ask Denver for an explanation.Although she trusted him, she couldn’t help but be worried. Imaginations of different responses from him kept flashing through her memory.‘What if this is all true?’ She would stare into oblivion at intervals while working.Just like that, she spent the day drifting away amidst working and couldn’t be more relieved when it was clocking out hours.Right as she strengthened up, picked her bag and made to leave the office, she bumped into Estelle in the elevator. “Miss Bardell, we’re meeting again.” The haughty looking princess called out. Ariadne wasn’t in the mood for her irritations and simply nodded. Seeing that Ariadne wasn’t speaking to her, Estelle fumed within her but on second
Mr CEO’s Little Heartthrob Chapter 55: She is Back!
Denver was more shocked than surprised to hear those words. There could only be one person in the world who would dare to say those words to him. That person could only be Estelle Hargensen, the girl his mother had betrothed to him when he was a child. Estelle hence can be said to be his betrothed fiancée. He clenched and unclenched his fist nervously. He had already forgotten about her and her entire existence, having not seen her in the past ten years because she had been abroad all the while.‘Why is she back in Maldonia now? Did my mother ask her to return or was it her own intention?’ He thought.Denver thought about Ariadne and the possibility of Estelle’s return coming in the way of his relationship with Ariadne and fear knotted inside him. “Hello! Are you there?” The voice from the other end came again, jolting him back from his assailing thoughts.“What do you want?” He finally responded when he found his voice.“I’m at the airport. Your mother asked that you come pick me u

With that thought, she lifted herself on one toe and planted a kiss on his cheeks. Seeing that he wasn’t fazed, she repeated the action again on the other side of his face. The third time, she went directly for his lips and bumbled on them. She kept trying to gain access to him. It seems like Denver was out to punish her for he refused to part his lips to give her full access.When she appeared to be getting tired and was about to give up, he snaked his hand behind her neck and drew her head closer, pressing it firmly against his lips and he took full control of the kiss, cradling her head in his hands. He kissed the nape of her neck, making the world go away with each kiss. She was fully consumed by his kisses. When he finally broke it, she was struggling to catch her breath and she staggered backwards.However, Denver was reluctant to let go. She was still struggling for breath when he inched very close to her once again, so close that they were almost a breath away, catching her

Ariadne could not believe her ears when she heard it. She angrily walked up to Grace to confront her. “What’s this talk all about? Why are you maligning me?” She asked, staring at Grace with iciness in her glare. Her fists were clenched tightly, desperate to punch somebody’s mouth until sense returned to the person’s head. “What?” Grace retorted defiantly, standing up to Ariadne. She looked like a little kitten challenging the neighbor’s well-bred fat cat when she did so.“Did I say anything wrong? I saw you dropping off a Mercedes Benz a few blocks away from the company today! You were dropped off by an older man. Am I wrong?” She said in a high pitched voice and hissed loudly.Ariadne was at her wit’s end at the girl’s opinionated display of superiority. Yet, she did not fret and rather tried to calm herself down so as not to explode.Grace felt aggrieved. She had seen Ariadne coming down from the passenger’s side of a Mercedes Benz. When she strained her neck to see who dropped

The young man could feel his feet trembling due to fear and he summoned courage to refute it. “I didn’t do anything. So what if my screen captured me? It’s my workspace.”He knew how camera monitoring works, so he was thinking that as long as he doesn’t admit it, they can pin it on him.But what happened next is what he didn’t expect. One of the burly men snatched the laptop inside the bag the young man slung over his stomach and brought it to Ryker. Ryker took it and connected it to the big screen. In a minute, everyone was staring at a system virus on the big screen.“Then what is this virus on your computer?” Ryker threw the question at him and continued almost. “This virus is added to the defense force of the company’s internal network system as a phishing function. You are a tech guy and don't need me to explain to you what a phishing function is”“The key is, this virus can only be on a person’s laptop if the person attacks and invades our company’s internal network system.”T

“How long have they waited?” Denver asked Ryker as soon as his car drove into the company’s parking lot. Ryker was already waiting for him downstairs.“Almost two hours.” Ryker responded.Denver simply nodded his head and walked into the company building.When he got to the top floor, he entered the conference room and sat down at the head of the conference table.The shareholders quietened down at the sight of Denver. They all wore their serious faces and warmed themselves up to throw accusing fingers.As soon as he slumped into his seat, he signaled for the meeting to commence, while he sat down to watch the drama unfold.At that time, one of the shareholders volunteered himself and stood up. The shareholder, Oliver stood tall and his height kind of looked intimidating. But Denver was not fazed.“We’re a network company. We provide top tier service to the premium of the society. Most other companies as well as their advertising cooperatives rely on us to effectively promote their br

Kyle was at a crossroad. Seeing as Ariadne had succeeded in eliciting a satisfactory smile from her, she could not give her a hard time at the moment.She figured that if she were to make a fuss right now, it would contradict her initial smile of satisfaction towards Ariadne’s gift and the guests might catch a hint of what is happening.If this were to happen, wouldn’t the guests regard her as a petty woman? Hence, she could only continue to pretend to be satisfied and walk away wearing a plastic smile on her face.When Molly saw how Ariadne had effortlessly scaled through what she had presumed to be a crisis, she could feel her fragile heart fall from a great height and she shatter into pieces.Although Molly tried to hide the foul expression on her face, Ariadne noticed it and smiled in her mind.‘Hmph! You must have been thinking that I would make a fool of myself before Denver’s mother? Shocked huh?’On second thought, she thought that she would spend a little more time at the pa
Mr CEO’s Little Heartthrob Chapter 49: The Gift
Ariadne stood rooted to a spot. The elegant lady standing before her was Denver’s mother, Kyle Brent-Wesley, the well known President of BrentWes Group who’s always in the financial news.She remembered Molly’s warning in the past. Molly had reprimanded her to stay away from Denver, telling her not to overrate herself because Denver’s mother would never approve of her. Denver showing up with her at his mother’s birthday was a surprise that could turn out to be very disastrous.‘How would she react to this surprise?’“Come over and say hello to my mom.” Denver couldn’t help but whisper to Ariadne while still wrapping his arm around her waist since she seems to be lost in her thoughts.Ariadne snapped out of her reverie, curled her lips into a sweet smile and inched closer. “Nice to meet you, Miss Brent-Wesley. Happy Birthday.” She greeted, bowing her head slightly as a sign of respect to one’s elder. She heard the elderly woman preferred being called Ms instead of Mrs because she was

Widening her eyes, she screamed, “Ariadne! How dare you embarrass me like this?! Watch what I do to you!”Molly couldn’t control herself. But due to the ravaging eyes around, she could only suppress her anger. “Ariadne. I know what you are, two faced bitch. I will make sure to keep you far away from Denver.” She mumbled to herself.But Ariadne was far gone and couldn’t hear whatever she was saying now. It was just the gathering crowd clustering around to poke nose into the issue that was listening to her now.Hiding her face with her purse, she ran out of the mall with great speed, away from the trailing eyes of the curious onlookers.Few days later, the day for Denver’s mother’s birthday party finally came. Denver made sure that Ariadne had the best dress, purse and all. He also engaged the services of the famous makeup artist and stylist to prepare Ariadne for the event. He wanted her to outshine everyone and make a great impression on his mother.Steve would be off duty today becau
