The CEO and a High-Schooler - Part two Chapter 20
Isabella's p.o.v;Someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind which made me look at them, Big Brother."What exactly are you doing here?" he asked.I turned away from him and looked at the beach ahead of me, "How did you find me here?" Asked him while I watched the waves."I presume because I have people to spy on you," he said as he sat next to me.I remained silent.He continued, "Mr. Martinez indicated that you and him were falling out because Harry was leaving for New Orleans. Do you want me to double-check that he's telling the truth?""It's not surprising that you think like him since you're his secretary after all.""I'm more than just a man who works for him. I'm also your guardian. I have the authority and responsibility to look after you. To me, Yuyang and Bella are the same person. Even if you leave his house, I'll look after you alongside Yuyang. It's not difficult for me to raise you two. So, What happened between you two this time? I came here as your brother and not as

Isabella's pov;I returned to Mr Martinez's residence after three days of camp. When I entered the house, there was no one in the hall, so I hauled my travel bag up the stairs and walked to my room. I tossed the bag next to the bed and collapsed on it, tired.Someone knocked on the door so I invited them inside while laying on the bed."How was your trip Bella?" Rose inquired as she entered."Yes, that was enjoyable. We participated in scavenger hunts, treasure hunts, and other activities. Actually, I didn't want to come home after spending days with my pals having fun." And then laughed."I'm delighted you had a good time. Dirty clothes are in this bag, right? I'll take it to the laundromat." Said while picking up my travel bag."Could you please ask Kirk to make me a chocolate smoothie? I desperately need one right now.""OK," she answered with a smile. After taking out the accessories and creams, she dragged my luggage out of the room.After taking a hot shower, I went downstairs.

Isabella's pov;"Have you heard anything about this?" Tracy inquired as I took my notebook from my backpack."About what?" I murmured, staring blankly at my notebook."Your bully was severely beaten by someone and showed up with a bruised face. It's all over the school. Everyone on campus was discussing this. How come you didn't know about this?"I let out a sigh and asked, "Did you finish the task for Ms Greta?" "Yes. But…"Before she finishes, Jose interrupts and talks to her. I got out my phone and saw Harry's picture all over the social media feeds. They were outrageous in their remarks about him. Because of the bruised face, some of the statements were harsh and appeared to be bullying. Some weren't even sentences; they merely sounded like ones, but they weren't. Nonetheless, they said everything."Not all injuries are bad, some demonstrate the fortitude of that person for someone they love," I said under the picture of Harry they uploaded. And stuffed my phone back into my bag.

Isabella's pov;After two weeks,I yawned as I descended the stairs and looked around the house; there was no one in the living room, and the centre of the house was also empty.I went to the kitchen to eat, but Kirk was nowhere to be found. What day is it? Is it the weekend? Because no workers come to this house on weekends. I was about to leave the kitchen when I noticed a plate covered and stopped. I opened it to find a shrimp salad with ravioli pasta. Who cooked this beauty? I took the plate, walked out of the kitchen, and sat at the dining table, holding the plate. I started digging in because I was hungry. After taking a bite, I couldn't help but smile, knowing that Mr Martinez had prepared the food.Mr Martinez came in with a garden shovel while I was eating and said, "Sleeping princess is out of bed finally. How's the shrimp salad coming along?""Yummy. Best meal after a good sleep." With a yawn, I asked, pointing to the shovel, "Are you mowing the lawn? Wait a minute, I'll fi

Isabella's pov;I dragged my bag down the stairs and placed it near the door. As I looked outside, the morning sun glowed through the door, blinding me unable to see the sky properly. Mr Martinez was working on his laptop when I looked around the living room. I'm not sure he'd notice me coming downstairs.Mateo took the bag and inquired, "Are there any other bags?""Only this one," I said, shaking my head."Okay. I'll then take it to the car." He took the bag out of the house and headed to the car."Come and have your breakfast," Rose invited as I was watching Mateo taking the bag outside the house.Mr Martinez didn't seem to notice my presence yet, so I stood by the doorway and watched him work until I couldn't take it any longer, then walked over to the kitchen and sat at the dining table.The food was placed in front of me by Kirk under a cloche."It's exciting already. Can I open what you cooked for me today?""Go ahead and open it," he said hurriedly."It's cioppino stew! My favou

Isabella's pov;I went out with Noah, Evelyn, Sophia, and Carey, four of my high school friends."How come you're not drinking anything?" Noah asked, looking at the glass in front of me."Did Liam mention anything about coming today?" Evelyn asked Sophia."He said he had some work to do, busy guy." Sophia said with a shake of her head."I thought so, too," Evelyn murmured. "It'll probably take a few days for him to take a break from his work.""I'm not sure why you guys let him go when he says he's busy but not when I say I'm busy," I explained."Because he's really busy and you're not," Noah explained as he sipped from his glass."Why do I feel like a third wheel when I hang out with you guys?" I inquired of Noah and Evelyn. "What made you date your friend?" I inquired of Carey. "How did you even end up with this girl?""Then bring Alexander next time so you don't feel like the third wheel," Sophia advised."Why are you mentioning Mr Martinez all of a sudden? Did you get jealous? Do y

Isabella's pov;After two weeks, the college reopened.When I first arrived at college, I couldn't believe I was already a sophomore. I walked into the college, looking around the campus as if it were my first time there. I couldn't believe that I will graduate next year."How did your holidays go?" Carlos asked, leaping in front of me."I met my high school friends, ate dinner in restaurants, played some PS5 games, pretty good," I yawned, "how about you? How was your holiday?""I went hiking with my parents and brought my girlfriend along and introduced her to them.""Woah! That was unexpected. Did your parents accept her?""Not yet. I said she was a friend of mine, and you know how my parents are about dating and stuff.""How long are you going to try to keep it from them?""I guess until they find out," he said, laughing nervously.Julian arrived while I was talking with Carlos."Hey, Bella! Shall we go out tonight?" Julian says."Where are you going?""The club where we go on a reg

Isabella's pov; When I awoke, I was in Mr Martinez's embrace. Why are we hugging? Did he kiss me goodnight last night? I let go of his hands and slowly rose from the bed. When I got out of bed, Mr Martinez rubbed his eyes and asked, "You woke up?""Did I startle you?""No, I got up by myself. How do you feel right now?" He motioned for me to approach him.I sat in front of him and tried to place his hand over my chest. He paused and came to a halt. "How's my heart?" I asked, smiling as he placed his hand on my chest."It's perfectly fine now," he said, holding my cheeks together, "and I told Mr Johnson to take care of your father, so don't worry about him.""What if he comes back?" I asked, touching his hand."Did you forget how I protected you by blocking him away from you last night?" he tapped his biceps."My knight in shining armour," I said as I patted his head while smiling at him. He kissed my cheek and stood up from the bed, saying, "OK. Get ready. It's time for your colleg

Isabella's pov;One year later,Dylan, "What exactly are you doing here? What if Alexander scolds us if he sees you serving?""Sitting idle in the room is boring.""I understand how difficult it is to win against you. At the very least, be cautious with the tables.""Got it!" I gave a thumbs up with a smile and continued serving the customers."Enjoy the Breakfast," I murmured as I set the food on the table with a big grin on my face."How many weeks?" one of the customers asked, pointing to my tummy."14 weeks," I murmured, looking at my large tummy."Is it a boy or a girl?""We have an appointment today.""Good luck," she said brightly and continued eating her food.I smiled at her after giving a nod.I approached the desk and dialled Alexander's number."Where the hell are you?""I'll be there in a few minutes.""You said that ten minutes ago.""I'm nearly there."He hung up the phone.Emily inquired, "Don't be upset. This is not good for the baby.""I try, but he's not letting me.

Isabella's pov;On Christmas Day,"Isabella…" Who is calling my name so delicately?"Huhhh…""Wake up, Isabella," they said, their palm touching my cheek."Whyyy…"When I opened my eyes, Mr Martinez kissed me on the cheek and whispered, "Wake up. It's time to open the diner.""What time is it?" I massaged my eyes."10.""What!? Did I sleep in? What day is it?""It's Christmas. Did you forget about it? You were decorating the restaurant the day before.""Did you just f*ck me on the day before Christmas?""It's called making love," he replied, flicking my brow."Whatever." "Arghhh!" I exclaimed when I attempted to sit. I felt a sharp pain in my back.Mr Martinez raced up to me and grabbed my hands, asking, "What happened?"I tapped him on the shoulder and said, "It's all thanks to you. Why did you do it after I told you it was enough? Are you a moron? Did you not hear me? Argh…""Shall I call a doctor if it's too painful?" he inquired as he helped me sit."Take me to the restroom.

Isabella's pov;"If you're serving clients on the weekend, who's going to perform today?" While I was receiving their orders, one of the regulars inquired."We didn't have anything planned for today. We have a tight schedule because Christmas is approaching, so we're preparing for that."They conveyed their menu by nodding. I heard someone strumming the guitar strings while I was shouting out orders in the kitchen. Maybe it was in my head, so I kept giving the meal orders. Someone was singing in the diner. I came out of the kitchen to see who it was.Mr Martinez sat in the chair, holding my guitar, and singing on the raised stage where I perform for my clients every weekend. Is Mr Martinez singing? I was astounded after hearing Mr Martinez's singing, he has a wonderful voice. Wow. What a gentle and charming voice he has. Everyone began shouting and taking pictures of him singing.When the previous song concluded, he said into the microphone, "The next song will be a dedication song fo

Isabella's pov;Finally, we arrived at the restaurant.I got out of the car and went to the restaurant. Mr Martinez grabbed my hand just as i was about to open the door, causing me to turn and stare at him."What is it?""Aren't you going to give me a kiss before you go in?""Why should I?""Because people who are dating kiss before they part.""Duh! We both share the same residence.""Let's do it like a genuine date," he murmured, taking my hand in his."Okay." I asked Mr Martinez to approach me. When Mr Martinez came closer, I grabbed his collar and pressed my lips against his and parted away.Mr Martinez, "Do you call that a kiss?""I'm exhausted. Go away."When I tried to enter the restaurant, He drew me into a deep kiss that included our tongues. I resisted at first, but I let things go with the flow because I was always drawn to his deep kisses. He licked my lips to get into my mouth, and once inside, our tongues rubbed and twisted against each other. While his tongue was ruling

Isabella's pov;While he was driving the car, he seemed upset. What exactly did I just do? Is it possible that I disturbed him as a result of my fear? He was overjoyed in the morning that we were going out, but now his face is expressionless."Mr Martinez?""Yeah?" asked while he was driving the car. "What is tubing?""It's similar to sledding, but you ride on the top of an inner tube.""Will I be able to roll down the hill in tubing if it's like sledding?"He smiled and replied, "No, you will not. The sled has a flat surface, so you can jump out of it, whereas tubing requires you to submerge half of your body into the tube, so you can avoid falling.""Really? I can ride without rolling down the hill?""Yes.""Take me there. I'd like to give it a shot.""Okay."We eventually got to tubing.When I looked around, I noticed people in tubes rolling down the hill. Some were racing with others, while some were fighting with their mates on the tubes. It appeared odd and funny. "Shall we go

Isabella's pov;Mike, "I think I made a decent decision in keeping him here.""What?"While he was handing me the meal in the service area, Olivia called him back to the kitchen. What made him say that?I served the food to the customers after bringing it out of the kitchen. The couple who received the food from me, both laughed and glanced at me. Is it my imagination or are they laughing at me?Emily brought me to the counter and said, "I know you were married recently and have a great husband, but do you have to flaunt it like this?" "How many times do I have to advise you not to refer to him in that manner?"She put her hand on my neck and whispered, "Listen to me, Do you want all of our customers to know what a wonderful night you had?""What!?"I dashed to the restroom to see what it was. When I looked at my neck, I thought, "A hickey?" Can he really do this to me? Now I see why everyone was staring at me. I'm humiliated. I'll start by changing my shirt.When I exited the restro

Isabella's pov;"What exactly are you doing here?" While I was serving the customers, I asked Mr Martinez."Of course, for eating." And slid onto the seat.Since he was at my table, I took his order and murmured, "Don't eat outside very much."Suddenly, he kissed my cheeks and whispered, "Thank you for being concerned about me, but how will I see you then?"Out of shyness, I dashed to the restroom after giving the orders at the service area. What made him suddenly kiss me? I should have become angry at him, but instead I ran over here. When I looked in the mirror, my cheeks and ears were as red as Tomato. You are not a teen! Stop getting shy just from an unexpected kiss! I got out of the bathroom after washing my face when I heard a knock on the door.When I was going to leave after serving Mr Martinez, he looked around and commented, "Looks like you're getting a lot of customers.""Since the CEO of Skyland corporation started eating here, many people have been here to try it.""Am I

Isabella's pov;When I first walked inside the restaurant, I was startled by the bursting sound, which caused me to jump in the air. When I opened my eyes, which had been closed due to the sound's force, colourful confetti rained down all over the room, even on me."Congratulations, Bella!" Everyone yelled at the same time."What exactly is this? Is it true that our restaurant made the news?" I inquired of them, unsure of what was going on."Stop thinking about the restaurant all the time," Emily murmured with a brush of her hand over my brow."Then what is the point of the celebration?"A voice from behind me replied. "It's a wedding present for you." It was Dylan who I saw as I turned around.Emily took my hand in hers and pointed to my ring finger, saying, "You claimed you were going to a friend's wedding, but you actually went to get married. Here's where we need an explanation."They all nodded in unison when I looked at them."Is it true that you're working against me? I'm the o

Isabella's pov;"It's surprising since you were the one who made the call." Julian teased me while holding a glass of wine in his hand.I said, "It's been a hell of a week and I needed a break." And placed the glasses for Carlos and Jack.Carlos took a look around and asked, "How's your restaurant now? You changed the decor?""Yeah, I wanted some change and the restaurant is getting back on track. When we explained it to the people, some believed us and some didn't. Our regulars spoke for the restaurant and tweeted many good things about the restaurant. As a result, we started getting customers even though it's a small amount but it's good. We're catching up. By the way, Why didn't you bring Leah with you?" "She's still in her hometown. What about Gia? Did you call her?""Yeah, I did. She said she's on a business trip." And drinked from my glass.Zoey, "Bella, Can I leave? I have a class to attend tomorrow.""Yeah, yeah. Just go. I'll take care of it."After Zoey left, I said to Carl
