THE CEO'S PET 10. TURN DOWN
Emily left the house after making sure Amber had left and texted Eddy once again about their discussion. She and Eddy were good friends for a long time, way before he met Amber and asked her out. She was the one that introduced them to each other but, unknown to Amber, they had been cheating on her behind her because she wouldn’t notice thanks to her busy life. “I think we should go together now. I have spoken to the doctor”, Emily texted him. “I will meet you there, just text me the address” he responded, and she wore her clothes to move out. As promised, he came to meet her in the hospital and they both went to the doctor who helped them to abort the baby. She found out that she was pregnant a few days before his birthday and texted him on his birthday to inform him, but he told her that he was not ready to be a father yet. When Amber texted her that she would be late that day, she decided to go over to his house and discuss things with him before Amber came around, but her frien

Tom got home in the evening after canceling the meeting and met his mom preparing a large amount of food, so he wondered what was going on. “Is something happening? What’s up with the varieties?” he asked, walking to take a closer look. “The chairman of ITM Construction is coming over for dinner”, she replied, wiping her hands with the napkin as she set the table. “Why would he come over for dinner here? Father can just take him out, so why is he stressing you out?”, he said angrily. “What stress? This is just to support him, you know. I cannot do anything to help you at the company, so I should do this to help you and him too” she said with a smile, and he went into his room angrily. He finished showering and unlocked his safe to check out a document when he saw the contract between them and took it out. He sat down in front of the safe and read through it again before squeezing it all up. “What was I even thinking?”, he muttered, and threw the squeezed paper into the bin and lo

Amber dressed for work the following morning with the determination to turn down the offer and submit her already written resignation letter. She could not get over the guilt of having to deceive many people just because someone told her to, in return for fame and filling her pocket. She escorted her mother back to the hospital where she stopped to have a word with her doctor about her current situation. “I think we will be able to see a donor faster than we expected because some of the patients pulled out of the treatment list. They didn’t have money for the dialysis anymore, and they gave up, so your mother has moved up ten slots on the list”, the doctor informed her, and she didn’t know whether to be happy for her mother or sad for the patients that died or pulled out of the slot. “So we just have to hold on for a little while, right?” she asked to clarify. “Yes, all you have to do is hold on for a little while, and I am sure a miracle will happen sooner” the doctor assured her,

She told Emily that she would be absent at the house for a few days after dropping her things at home. Emily told her not to worry about her since she was already back on her feet now and moving around and just living her own life, so she went over to Eddy’s place. “You are not going to work?”, Eddy asked in surprise when he saw her at his door. “I am taking a leave for now, so I will be spending a few days here”, she said and pushed her way in. She had bought groceries from the store, wine and fruit to keep herself busy and well-fed for the days she would be spending with him. They finished dinner and played several games before settling down to watch a movie while munching on snacks and wine. They took wine to the extent that they started feeling hot and tipsy. Before they knew it, they had yanked off each other’s clothes and made out heavily. This time she was prepared for anything, and it felt as if his warmth would be the biggest antidote she needed to make herself forget her

Tom has been furious all day because of what happened at the office. He spent all day trying to fix the error that was made by the carelessness of his secretary, but no matter how he tried to cut it short, the loss was still more than he could imagine. Upon entering the house to see what his mother was doing in the kitchen so late at night, just because a spoiled brat was not satisfied with what was originally prepared for dinner fueled his anger more. “Why would you stress her to make another round of food? You can easily order in whatever you want to eat or just eat what was prepared”, he growled at Joseph, who didn’t even feel any remorse. “Why is she in the house if she cannot cook for me? She should do this to fill in for the nothing she does. Don’t you think?”, said Joseph with a shrug, and that was the height of it for him. He gave him a hot slap across his right cheek which made him stagger in shock. “What did you just do?” Joseph asked in horror. “I slapped the sense tha

The café had ordered a large amount of ingredients, so the supermarket offered to deliver them in the company’s van on their behalf. “Amber, you should go with John for the delivery and also make sure to find out what they need next, so they don’t place the order at another mart”, the manager instructed. She got into the van, and after fifteen minutes' ride, they pulled up in front of the café, and she got down from the van as Emily and Eddy walked out of the café. She observed that they were familiar, and tried checking well, but John opened the van and signaled to her to come closer. “They look so familiar, who are they?”, she murmured and tried walking into the street to check the car well, but a speeding car made her fly off the street, and before she could walk back in, Eddy’s car had already left. She finished setting the orders and also took new ones as the manager requested before they went back to work, but she could not get the familiar scene out of her head. “The car is

That morning, Amber was busy cleaning up the house because she had the afternoon shift and Emily said she had a morning class. After cleaning up her room and other places, she felt it wouldn’t be right if she didn’t clean up Emily’s room, so she went there to help her arrange and clean up the room. She was arranging her room when she found a carton containing black trousers, a black jacket and a cap. She picked them out and the same smell as Eddy’s perfume was oozing from it, but when she remembered that they had gotten the same perfume because it was in trend, she waved it off and folded it back before putting the carton under the bed carefully and neatly. As she was using the vacuum cleaner, she remembered that she had bumped into someone wearing an outfit similar to the ones she found in the carton on Eddy’s birthday, and her mind could not help but run wild. “It can’t be, there is no way something like that will happen. I am just having a misunderstanding because they are friend

Tom was, although taken aback a bit by the sudden declaration, but he was still happy that she had agreed to hop on the offer he presented to her. He was glad that his plans would press further now, and if the universe permitted, it would soar faster than he expected. “Let’s meet tomorrow then, I have to go”, she said to him. “Are you still at work? I can hear cars honking around”, he asked. “I.. am going.. ho.. me… I just stayed back to do something”, she stuttered as she tried to cover up. “I see! I will communicate the meeting time to you tomorrow”, he added, and disconnected the call. She sighed in relief and folded her fist in determination as she walked aimlessly into the street. It was then she realized that she hadn’t picked her bag from the house and her card, purse or anything that contained her identity. Her money was not on her. “Sh*t” she spat out. She wouldn’t be able to lodge at a hotel even though she wanted to because she didn’t have her ID card with her. She co

THE CEO'S PET 74. HOME WITH DADDY
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
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
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
