Teach Me, Mr. CEO She knows it all
EMBER"Now you'll pay me the money at once before I sue you or..", a small evil essence took over his body language with the way he shifted a little only to make her even more intimidated and confused. He tilted his head slightly before he dropped the bomb, "...or you will do exactly what I say to repay this debt.""What debt sir? I don't think I understand at all," she said, trying to hold her composure before she could freak out without even knowing what had brought her into this mess in the first place. She would know first. "There's not much to understand, Ms Campbell-""If this is another one of your tactics then I'm really not ready to play this game with you. I don't know why you are so dead set on me but I'm not taking part in this," she said, starting to lose her cool because it was baffling enough as it is, plus just being around him was giving her anxiety. "Just fire me already.""So that you can escape the debt? How can I let you do that?" He raised an eyebrow to spike her
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Make him listen
EMBERZaire Langston Hughes was born rich with a massive golden spoon because his family was filled with multi billionaires with successful businesses and careers. He had it all even before he even knew what that meant. He grew up very lavishly and with comfort, money, amenities, he hardly had been told no to anything. All that he wanted was served right before him on a diamond embedded plate. He probably never even saw what being deprived looked like.Maybe that's why he was like that, he wanted it all and he freaked out when he heard no about anything at all. Maybe that's what had led him to torture Ember like that because of everything that she said. He couldn't handle the rejection so he wanted revenge.If anything, Ember knew that this conclusion felt reasonable too. It was the only way she could explain all of his actions. But if there was more to it, she knew she wouldn't find that out from anyone but him."But there was a stretch in his earlier childhood days that no one reall
Teach Me, Mr. CEO The incident
EMBERShe almost couldn't believe she was being thrown into the devil's den just like that. And the fact that the people pleasing trait she had in her never failed to falter in situations like that.So, she had agreed.Ember was about to walk into the study room where Zaire was. The room had a built in library that he used for at least an hour everyday. It was his private space and Ember knew she should probably leave him a lone. But she wanted to get over it as soon as she could."Don't go right now, he hates people in there when he's studying," Bill warned, looking after Ember's feeling because no one would know what he's do."It's alright. I'll just go now," she said with a strange determination. She heard the others whisper about how dead she was or how much she would regret not waiting till he was done. Ember was already facing the worst.Jameson and the others had asked her to try and convince Zaire about letting them stay separately. The two companies, Iris and Sarte had decided
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Grievances
EMBER"Thank you.. so much. Ah, I'm relieved. This just took off a great deal of pressure from my mind," Charles sighed with a grin planted on his face. They all really had to hate them to react like that."Yes, now we can finally rest without hearing their disruptive existences literally every where. All up in our personal spaces. Can you believe we'd have to share rooms?" Samantha places herself in the chair of the break room. She looked just as relieved."That's true but the real question is.. how did you even manage to do that? You know we sent you because we were scared to even speak about it to him, right? I can't believe he really agreed," Jameson asked, immediately making Ember's lips seal shut. She looked at them with guilty eyes but they didn't see it."I just tried.. to use logical reasoning. It seems like he listens better when he's out of his cabin," Ember said, lying blatantly. They stared at her with doubt for a few seconds and then only did they break eye contact."Make
Teach Me, Mr. CEO You'll come with me
EMBERA week later.The list was out for the core team who will be the representatives of Sarte and work with the Iris core team on the project. Florence's 50th year anniversary was supposed to be grand and Sarte, being one of the largest event management company in the country, had no reason to not prove themselves the best.Ember skimmed through the list to see the known names. Jameson, Charles, Samantha, Will Thompson and Bianca from management, Ashley and Becca from logistics, Mary, Gilbert and Candice from analytics. Bill and Prett. She had already seen it coming that she really didn't have any real job to do there because she was a personal assistant. But when she looked further down, she saw Zaire Langston Hughes name and right below her was, Ember Campbell. She realised she just had to tag along because she was bound with Zaire for her position.But as she focused on it, she noticed two things. One, that the last was missing one person to round it up to fifteen. Which was quit
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Jealousy
EMBERHe stepped in first and then only did Ember step towards it. She felt too out of place because she had never even gone remotely close to something like that. The private jet had a few comfortable seats facing each other with a table in between in a few. There was a couch and a TV on opposite sides and it was also spacious. Ember spent minutes looking around in absolute awe. She would literally fly in this thing, she almost couldn't believe it. So much that she even forget for a moment who she was flying with.Ember waited for him to say something but he only spoke to the staff as he placed himself on one of the seats, picking up a magazine and burying his nose into it. Awkwardly, she walked to the seat opposite to him and placed herself, adjusting to it. And with that, she picked up her phone to make sure Ruby was alright."Hey, you okay?" Ember asked."Yes, they're all so nice. I don't miss you at all," Ruby said, making a few more people around her giggle. Ember smiled gently
Teach Me, Mr. CEO The Mystery of Him
EMBERShe could feel how hard it was to resist him. She could feel her heightened senses around him. But it was also making her realise that that's all she could feel for him.It was different with Will Thompson because when she fell in love with him, she did because of how he was. She knew little details about him, things he enjoyed, his love for his parents and his passion for books and rollerskates. She liked him for the person she knew him as watching from afar.Even though he treated her terribly, Ember could at least justify why she liked him.But when it came to Zaire, she was clueless why she felt that way. She didn't know almost anything about him, only what she heard from people. She couldn't even read him, or predict his next move. And he makes the same mistakes with her as if he was playing a game. A game to get Ember trapped and locked in forever.And that was bad for her. Just because she was that physically attracted to him, didn't mean that she should just let him do wh
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Never me
EMBERShe felt herself quieten down and think about what was it that she was missing out on. When she had researched a little or just heard it from Mary, she had got to know that Zelda Langston Hughes was indeed Zaire's mother. There were no mentions of her being a step mother and she was still very much alive. He had grown up in a wealthy household swarming with servants and staff. Then why did Zaire have to be the one to look after his mother's seizures all alone. Something was clearly not adding up but Ember didn't have it in her to ask."You handled it well too," he said, catching her slightly off guard as she looked up to see him watching her. "You were panicking a little but it was handled smoother because you were there. I haven't experienced that for a long time now so I felt a little lost.""I don't know if it's relevant but I had to look after myself almost all my childhood. I felt not as useful today but I tried," Ember muttered, her mind still somewhere else, trying to dec

Teach Me, Mr. CEO the end
EMBER"But I never talked to you because I knew I didn't deserve you yet. You were all I could imagine wanting and it only grew after that night when I tried to make you stay but you left the next morning. I knew I'd see you again and I was determined to have you the next chance I got with you," Zaire said with a grin because she knew he meant that the next chance meant them right at that moment."I.. had no idea.. but.. why me?" She asked, not being able to understand."You're seriously asking me that question? Have you ever known yourself enough? What exactly do you think you don't have? You're perfect, you're absolutely perfect. And you're the only one I need. I'm sorry for all the times I've hurt you, it was all because of shortcomings. But none of that would happen again. I promise to keep you happy with all I have," he said and it sounded so genuine, it wrenched Ember's guts. She was too high up on the clouds."I think I'm falling for you," Ember let the words slip out."Glad. I'
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Rock Bottom
EMBER"We totally understand and apologize for this regrettable situation and we are deeply sorry-"."For nothing," a voice came from the opposite side of them that dragged all the attention. Someone had walked in with a bold voice and a knowing smile on their face. Ember's eyes widened and so did others. That's when Ruby Ramirez walked into the scene, bringing a wave of shock and confusion. "They have to apologize for absolutely nothing.""What do you mean.. and who are you?" Mrs. Davis asked but not with conviction but curiosity. Her eyes widened as she recognized her from the news all over, Travis Prescott's alleged girlfriend."I am Ruby, a former employee of Sarte and currently an employee in Iris. And I can assure you that you'll believe me when I saw Sarte has done nothing unprofessional," Ruby said, confidently."Hey! What are you talking about?" Melvin Harvey chimed in, trying to control the situation."That's right, I should just show you what I'm talking about," Ruby said wi

EMBER"We'll see," she muttered. His hold only got tighter on her, making her lips part a little."I'll show you. You're trapped, I'll show you how long you can be trapped here, hmm?" He said, and Ember's blush turned into something just a little more sinister. The game wasn't over yet. She looked to her side to see someone passing by, towards their direction. Zaire saw Ember look at people passing by who can easily spot him holding her, which would be quite scandalous. But her eyes were set, and afraid he would read into it wrong, he started moving his hand away to not be noticeable. That's when Ember's eyes snapped up towards him."Keep holding me, that's the next challenge," she said, knowing for sure that this would push him way out of accepting. Her job was only to make the challenges hard enough for him to back down. And he definitely wouldn't want a scandal so he would surely accept defeat. He surely wouldn't..."Perfect," he said immediately and that's when his hand wrapped ar
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Claiming Her
EMBEREverything looked exceptional. So magestic and gorgeous that there was no way anyone could even think of a better way than this. Every inch of it looked straight out of a mythical movie.Ember sure had to know they were all professional and talented enough to modify the theme "heaven" given to them to something like this. Sarte has added lots and lots of detailings that embraces the dark elements. Like black vines and rust like textures on the while that looks like the darkness or hell is infiltrating the heaven's gate.It was grand and if Ember could recall it properly, she knew the kind of costumes Iris had prepared, it would look so good together. If only the whole idea passes and no one steps in to say a word against it. Technically, Sarte was breaking the rules by not following the theme entirely but incorporating heaven theme into hell because they were misled by Sarte.The only saviour would be if the fashion show preparations overall look so good that it impresses Mr and

RUBYIt went on and on, the only entertainment being Melvin Harvey's scowling face at her. She tried not to laugh at his face every time, it was weirdly entertaining."So, because Sarte asked for some more time, we are going to have to display the fashion show we prepared once again so we need to get everything ready by the end of the day," Max said and everyone noted something down but Ruby didn't bother."And what about the models? What timing were they given to report here so that we can do the rehearsals beforehand?" Travis asked and suddenly it got a little silent as they all looked at each other. "What's going on?""W-we didn't know we had to give them the time right away before the meeting so we didn't give them the time yet," Cara explained and that made Travis visibly annoyed."What does that mean? Shouldn't you have completed that before coming here? I didn't expect this from you," Travis said but Ruby noticed something very strange. It was unusual but not surprising but prob
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Blocking the way
RUBY"W-what did you just say? What does that-""You know exactly what that means. I am demeaning you for the way you run your team by gaslighting hate into them. You're misusing your authority, bet half of them don't even know why they actually hate Sarte," she shrugged like she had said enough."You think you can badmouth our company and I'll just stand here and hear you out?" He was visibly running out of words to say because of being caught off guard. He was threatening to report her to someone but that was just funny at that point."You can say whatever you want. You can even bring the board of directors, the managers, even your Chairman out here and I'll still repeat the exact same words. Don't take me for a fool like you do with everyone around you, you are a coward anyways," Ruby could feel the satisfaction coursing through her veins as she told him off, watching the colours fade from his face too fast. "It doesn't matter who I am dating, I'm not afraid to speak up so don't ev

RUBY"Fine then, you really think you're that slick when you are anything but that. If that's what you're deciding to do then I'll do something too. And something that you won't be able to hold against me because in your style, technically, I am not going against the deal as well. That's okay, I'm guessing?" She said, with a menacing look on her face that emitted what she actually felt and it certainly cannot be faked."You can't do that, it will be a clear breach of the contract and it certainly would not be as well explained as mine because there's no such detail written in the papers as well," he said, a little defensive in her opinion but something that can be very well recognised through his body language. She knew she didn't have to work that hard to unleash the goal.Ruby offered him a bitter smile before turning around and pulling out a piece of paper. It was the copy of the contract they signed and Travis watched her carefully as she opened the paper and started running her ey
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Table Turn
RUBYRuby didn't know on a scale of one to ten, how angry she was and how larger it can grow. Maybe her anger might just break and split open the scale because she was furious.She had no idea how this happened or how it was even possible because when she agreed to the deal with the unscrupulous man he clearly said he wouldn't come in the way of Sarte or disrupt the project at all. But they did it, they completely sabotaged Sarte by giving them information about a fake theme. They had been planning on doing Hell as the theme the whole time but Sarte was told the theme was Heaven.This was clearly breaking the deal and the rules, it was totally unacceptable.Ruby could feel her mind going blank with anger as she rushed through the gate of Florence building and up to the floor given to Sarte and Iris. This was her first day of work as a member of Iris and it was bound to be strange. But when she got the news from the Iris group chat, how they fooled Sarte into believing a completely diff

EMBER"What are you thinking?" He asked, finally breaking the silence."So, anything, right? Anything I ask you, without questions," she made sure, as a trick to test him."I already said it, anything you want," he answered right then, with no hesitation at all. Ember thought, if he wasn't hesitant, what was her excuse? The drive was still going on and the wild idea took over her. "Okay so..", she started, not giving him time to comprehend he was going to be given a task right at that moment. "Stop this car in the middle of the road and kiss me."His head snapped to her at that rash and unusual task but Ember knew she was doing it to see to what extremes he would go. That seemed fit enough for the first task. He scanned her face and realised she was serious. A quick look behind him and he immediately brought the car to a stop at that exact moment, 0 questions or hesitations.Hurrying, he leaned in and snapped off her seatbelt and in one moment, he had swept her off her seat and placed
