THE CEO'S PET 73. A RESET
Over the months, Tom’s condition was increasing as he became vibrant and cheerful, unlike when the accident had just occurred. He enjoyed listening to stories of the past from his mother, so he knew some information about himself, and they were enough to know who he was. After seeing Amber in his articles over and over, she caught her attention and wondered who she was, but his mother only told him that she was his secretary without including the relationship they had because she was still angry about how she left abruptly. Anita had gone shopping that fateful day and one pretty lady shifted for her to tender her goods first even though she was not obligated to and in the process of thanking her, she saw that it was who she never expected. The shopping basket fell from Amber’s hand at the sight of Tom’s mother, but she was quickly helped by the stores employees who ran to gather the scattered goods. Anita wanted to ignore her, but she didn’t hesitate to tell her side of the story wh

Ever since Joseph became the president, he had been a big menace to the company. All of his decisions affected the company negatively, which led to the investors grumbling and so much loss occurred. When Chairman Holland couldn’t contain his disappointment and worry, he started to nag Joseph, who got angry at his nagging and when it became unbearable for him, he had him put on house arrest where he cut off his connections to everyone. He began his move to become the chairman and everything was set in place with the help of Charles. On the day of his announcement, he walked briskly into the company with the will he forced the Chairman to sign a few days ago, naming him as the next chairman by transferring all his shares to him. The meeting was ongoing when Tom marched in with the police, to their surprise. No one was expecting him to show up in that place and at that time. Eddy was also brought along to identify and confirm Joseph as the one who told him to hire a man who messed with

Amber has lived in Chicago for the past three years after she moved from Boston to start her office work where she works as the secretary to the CEO of the biggest Department store, Shell House. Her everyday work was always hectic but who was she to complain when her boss was always working with her even late into the night so it was not as if he was punishing her on purpose but one thing she really love about her boss, Tom Holland is that no matter how hard they have to work, he makes sure she enjoys her weekend so every Friday she goes home as early as possible. This particular Friday was like every other one and she was so happy to get off work because she actually had her own plans for the day. “Miss Amber, the sales report should be ready by 2pm on Monday so make sure you try to finish it up over the weekend” Tom, her boss said to her as he came out of his office wearing a tired look on his face.

She was thankful that her outfit for today was at least covering up a decent part of her body, because she wouldn’t be able to bear the shame of dancing that way while her boss was sitting there looking at her. Since she couldn’t afford to forfeit her pay just because someone unexpected showed up, she played professionalism, and just concluded that she would pretend as if nothing happened. She finally went to change, quickly received her pay from Mike and rushed out of the club before he could come out, and they would bump into each other. She was still panicking when someone grabbed her from behind and she yelled. She shouted “It is not what you think” in shock and turned to see her confused roommate standing there. “What am I thinking?” Emily asked, raising her eyebrows in return. She was also shocked at the reaction of her roommate. “Oh! It’s you. When did you get here?”, She asked, comporting herself as she wiped her sweaty hand on her clothes. “I arrived just now when Mike to

Tom Holland left the office on Friday evening and was driving home when he got a call from Dave Lin the famous designer who owns the biggest cloth brand in Paris. He had been trying to sign a partnership deal with him for close to two years but it never worked. The manager of Dave Lin called him and told him that he should come over to the club to sign off the agreement if he still wants it because will be flying out of Chicago very early the next morning. He quickly turned the car around and zoomed off to the place he was called to where he met Dave Lin. Dave immediately explained, “Oh Mr. Tom! I am sorry that you didn’t get a positive response from me all these while. It is due to my extremely busy schedule and also I wanted to see you in person. The owner of Shellhouse mall in Chicago is extremely popular so I didn’t want to waste the chance” as soon as he saw him and he exchanged handshakes with him Tom wanted to counter him that he could have just told him so instead of keeping

She slowly walked back to where he was standing with the keys in his hands and tried to lobby him, but he was not in for whatever she had up her sleeve. She begged with pleading eyes “I don’t know what this is all about, but can you just leave the door open? I mean we don’t have to lock the door before we can stay here, isn’t it?” and he shook his head. “It is necessary we lock the door anytime I am here or not because that is exactly why it is there” he remarked, and threw the key in his pocket. “Now, since you are here, I believe we don’t have all day, and we don’t have any time to waste. You said you would do anything I ask for if you can keep your job right?” he asked, and proceeded to take his seat. She nodded her head frantically in agreement, and he motioned for her to take a seat while pointing to the sofa in front of him. She sheepishly adhered to the instruction and watched him speak with a tensed shoulder. He rubbed his palms together a little and hesitated before he fina

Joseph has been staying in Dubai for over three years and refused to stay home after his graduation. He would always argue about how he was still small to work at the company. “I want to enjoy my twenties a little bit because once I start working I won’t have the time for that anymore” he argued whenever their father brought up the topic of him coming back home. He finally came home that afternoon, and he didn’t even let Tom know, just to surprise him. “You came this afternoon? How come I was not informed?” Tom questioned. “Because I wanted to surprise you. Look at how shocked you are right now” he replied with a chuckle, and Tom sighed. “Do you like making a fool out of people?” Tom slammed him and he raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean by making a fool out of people?” he asked. “You said you would not be coming home anytime soon, so why are you here?” Tom questioned. “Oh that? I realized that there was no fun for me anymore in Dubai because I had visited every place for th

Tom was passing by the bridal section as he was returning to his office when he saw Amber in an argument with Charles. He walked into the room to ask what was happening when he heard her demanding an apology. “I am demanding an apology from you right now” she yelled at his face. “What is going on right now? What do you think you are doing?”, he asked, looking at her. “He was touching me appropriately, he was groping me” she explained. “Why would I do that? I only dropped the cup of water by mistake, and she was cleaning it up before she suddenly started yelling at my face to apologize”, Charles said innocently, and she scoffed. “It was true that his cup shattered, but while I was cleaning it up, he suddenly groped me from behind, and it was twice, at that” she insisted. “Is there any proof that he did that? You shouldn’t make false accusations”, Tom said, and her shoulder dropped in shock. She had been working with him for close to three years, and could he still think she had m

THE CEO'S PET 72. BROKEN APART
Joseph called Charles, who had been released on bail out, for a party to celebrate his new position, and they laughed about Tom, who thought he was smart but ended up losing everything. Before the inauguration, Charles had learned that it was Tom who helped Joy break away from him, therefore making him and his father lose face in front of Chairman Kim. He was so furious about that and Joseph happened to call him at that time that Tom was on the verge of taking everything away from him. Charles and Joseph resolved to the option of causing him an accident on the inauguration day while making him feel he had the upper hand during the preparations. Joseph also pressured Eddy to make sure he blackmailed Amber to get rid of her from his side so that their plans would be perfect. Eddy was the one that provided them with the man whom they paid to mess with Tom’s car and everything went according to their plans without any hitch or trace to them. “Yo! I haven’t felt this elated in a while”,
THE CEO'S PET 71. MEMORIES LOST
Even though the video was doing so many things for her, she still tried to keep her cool and smiled at Tom, who was waiting to take her home. That very day, he decided to take her on a dinner date, which further complicated things for her because she was eager to get home before her anxiousness burst out in front of Tom. Throughout the dinner, he was laughing and smiling more than usual, maybe because he was anticipating the inauguration day, and she tried her best to match his smile while trying hard not to pick on the food in front of her. After a walk to the restroom, she decided to push the thoughts aside and just enjoy the time with him because there was a probability she would be resigning and fleeing to save his face on that day. He had worked hard for that day, and she wouldn’t allow her own past to ruin it for him. Since they have just a little time before the inauguration, she will have to use them wisely. She pressured him to go on dates with her every day, buy her things
THE CEO'S PET 70. SIMILAR TRAPS
At the sound of her mother’s footsteps approaching her room to check up on her, they split apart and bounced to the edge of the room where they both put on their clothes, and they took off in a flash. She placed the pictorial magazine on her dressing table in his hands as he pushed him into the chair and her mother came in at that instant. “You should open the door if you are inside instead of making me go through the stress of passcode. Why do you keep stressing me?” her mother ranted, and immediately her eyes landed on Tom, her lips folded themselves. She was not expecting to see anyone at home with her not to talk of Tom, because she knew they had been in an argument for weeks. Her feet retracted themselves as she went back to the door as quickly as she had come. “You said you won’t be coming until tomorrow, why are you here?”, Amber slammed her, and she had no choice but to stop and answer that the doctor attended to her quickly, so she just thought about coming home instead of
THE CEO'S PET 69. MAKE UP
They both got into the car, and they rode for the first few minutes in silence before she tried sparking a conversation between them. “Wow! Did something change in your car? Something looks unfamiliar”, she said, but he only kept his face on the road in silence. “Is it the scent? The seat’s leather or the color of the belts? Something is weird. Has it been that long I got into your car?”, she blabbered, but as much as he wanted to give a response, he held himself back. She knew her tricks to make him talk were not working on him. It was then she realized the extent of the damage she had caused by her hard-headedness. She didn’t even give him any room for explanation, kept on assuming and believing things on her own accord. He also didn’t even make the effort to explain things which he didn’t blame him for because, at that moment, he had requested her trust which she failed in giving to him. The rest of the drive was in silence, and he finally pulled in front of her house after a tw
THE CEO'S PET 68. REALIZATIONS
Even though Mr. Joe offered to drive her back. She declined flatly and told him she would find her way home. She ordered a taxi back home and the thoughts of how Tom could do something drastic at someone’s wedding overflowed her brain. As much as she wanted to laugh so hard at his priceless reaction when his karma came back to bite his ass, the despair the bride must be feeling wouldn’t allow her laugh as much as she wanted. For some reason, she knew within her that Tom only forced her to come, so she could witness the scenario as a payback for what happened back then at the company, but she was still not happy with him. His methods and approach were wrong to her. Nothing could justify the wickedness he had portrayed by ruining someone else’s wedding just for revenge. Time flew by, and she didn’t even know when the taxi would get to her house. The driver had to alert her that they were already at their destination before she jerked out of her deep thoughts. After making payment, she
THE CEO'S PET 67. ONE DOWN
Charles’ father, who is Chairman Henry, Chairman Holland Steve and Chairman Kim, who is Joy’s father, all gathered at Chairman Kim’s house to discuss the way further in both their politics and also the marriage that would take place between Charles and Joy, their children. The trio had been the first to start their various businesses in Chicago and had a very tight friendship as they grew up over the years. They all have their own successful and thriving businesses, which made them the top three richest in Chicago. They all planned to get their children married to each other in order to strengthen their bonds and also solidify their shares in the economy. Chairman Henry, who was planning to run for the mayor of Chicago, wanted the marriage to be held before the contest season so the support of the two families merging would be helpful in his mayoral race, so they decided to talk together and conclude on a date since the children had already agreed to get married and were already enga
THE CEO'S PET 66. HELP ME
That very day, Charles and Joseph were having that conversation. Tom had gone back to the kitchen to get himself some water when he heard them discussing Amber and what happened at the company. He wanted to burst in and punch Charles hard, but he restrained himself and thought this would be a perfect way to break his wings that he had been planning to get by getting married to a powerful family like Joy’s. He made sure to record everything that he had said without them knowing before moving back to his room. He had been thinking about how to use it since then and didn’t know until he remembered the wedding coming up. The thought of releasing it on their wedding day crept into his mind, but he also thought about how it would ruin the day of Joy, who is the bride. Kicking against the idea, he hid the recording in his safe at home until one fateful day he had to meet with one of the investors at a golf course. The investor received a call and took a twenty-minute excuse before leaving
