The CEO's First Love (English) Chapter 29
BivianneI mustered all my courage and dialed Oxem's number. My hands were still shaking while holding the phone. We didn't see each other and talk for a few weeks. I don't even know what to say to him.But I promised we would talk. And in this conversation, I have to tell him that we can't be together and that my decision is complete.My phone rang signaling that he had answered. But neither of us answered. It was as if we were both just waiting to see who would speak first. Or maybe we are both afraid of what we will hear from each other.That's why I thought ahead. "Let's break up." I laughed when I heard my own voice. "It turns out we can't break because we don't have anything yet."He didn't find my joke funny, though, because he didn't laugh. In fact, his voice from the other line seemed too cold. "Is it because of that guy? Is it true what he said? Are you getting married?”I bit my lower lip. "Yeah. We are. Two weeks from now.”We were silent again. I punched my pillow because

BivianneI convince myself that the only reason I'm going is to watch my brother. He had nothing to do with me going to the game. I just want to support Khaianne and I know Leo will go too. It's like they are brothers and not us.Mom is now happily married with a guy named Keam, Juanito's brother, her first love. The story is too long, but Keam is a good guy. At first I did not agree with their relationship. But when I met him and his son, I didn't do anything.And Khaianne is my twenty-year-old brother. He was young when we first met so we immediately got close to each other despite having different dads and moms. His brother is so sweet that's why Yeshua fell.And I can't believe these two had history two years ago. According to Yeshua she was too young for him so they broke up, but I wonder about that.I couldn't take my eyes off him when the game started. I played this game before so somehow I know what's going on. He taught me how to play this before, after all.E-sports has beco

I took a deep breath before knocking. I know that there's a 50-50 chance that I'll see him here but I still can't help but be nervous. This is where he leaves, after all. When they have an important game, he sleeps here with his players.I'm not a stalker. I only know such details because I am one of their team sponsors. I can't help but find out every time they have a game that involves money. Our company also makes money there.When the door opened, I caught my breath. That 50-50 chance just became a hundred."How may I help you, Ma'am Cordova." Ma'am Cordova. Great. Just like how my employees call me."Is Khaianne here? I got a delivery for him.” I even lifted the box to show him.He frowned as he looked at my hand. "You should have just sent it to one of your staff. No need to deliver it yourself.”I immediately thought of a reason. "This is a gift for my brother. So maybe it's only natural that I bring it myself."Damn that excuse. But he shouldn't notice that I just wanted to se

"Meeting adjourned," I said after our several-hour-long meeting. I gathered my things before leaving the meeting room and headed straight to my office.Jane, my new secretary, followed behind me, listing my schedule for the rest of the day. Once I sat down at my desk, I immediately began reviewing the new documents that had just arrived earlier.I had already finished a lot yesterday, but it felt like they doubled again today. On top of that, we have another meeting at three o’clock with the shareholders, which will definitely take up a lot of my time.After Jane left my office, I continued with my work. My phone rang on the desk, and when I glanced at it, I saw Oxem’s name on the screen, which instantly made me smile. I put it on speaker."Hi, beautiful," greeted Oxem. I could slightly hear Khaianne and her teammates in the background, seemingly playing."Hi, handsome. I miss you.""I miss you too." I could sense the sadness in his voice. "What time will you be out later?"I glanced

BivianneWe’d been on the road for almost six hours, partly due to traffic. We only had one stopover before continuing the journey. When the kids finally fell asleep, I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes. I realized these kids do get tired after all. I thought they wouldn’t stop talking until we arrived.I felt a tap on my shoulder, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Oxem looking at me. I immediately understood what he wanted. I glanced at the kids, now sound asleep, and quietly stood up. Oxem helped me until I was seated next to him.As soon as I sat down, he wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face in my neck. I glanced to the side, where two of the staff members were seated, but thankfully, they were asleep as well.He sighed against my neck, sending a ticklish sensation through me. "I didn’t know I had to compete with the kids for your attention."I smiled. "I haven’t spent time with Khaianne in a while. He really missed me.""And I know you missed him too." I did

After we finished eating, we took a short rest. Rodmarc was still chatty, but compared to earlier, the nervousness on his face was now obvious. Khaianne, Roberto, and Oscar also had serious expressions. Even Oxem’s expression was hard to read.I gently squeezed Oxem’s hand. He looked at me, so I gave him a reassuring smile.“It’s going to be okay,” I said. “You need to be there for the kids.”He smiled immediately. “You’re right.” He kissed my forehead. “Thank you.”When we entered the room, several computers were set up for their dry run. I didn’t know much about what happens during a dry run, but I figured this was my chance to learn more. If I’m going to sponsor more e-sports teams in the future, I need to do it right.Khaianne and the whole team sat on the right side of the room. On the left side, five of the staff members joined them. Everyone, including Oxem, wore headphones. He handed me a pair, which I put on as well.They tested the sound. Since I had headphones on too, I cou

BivianneI jumped up from my seat when the game ended. A wide smile spread across my face as I watched Oxem and the players hug each other. If my palms were red earlier, they were definitely bruised now.They won. They did it!I couldn’t stop smiling as I watched everything unfold in front of me. They shook hands with their opponents and even exchanged hugs. It seemed like they had known each other for a long time and frequently faced off in tournaments.After their game, the next one quickly prepared to start. Oxem passed by where we were seated and invited us to step out. I guess they’re done for the day. They’ll be in the finals tomorrow. I wonder if we’ll have time for a date, given their busy schedule.As Roberto mentioned earlier, they went straight into reviewing their game. They didn’t seem to have any complaints because, even before Oxem said anything, they were already focused on the replay. Each of them was reviewing it on their own. They spent a few minutes watching before

"When did you have time to prepare this?" I asked while we were eating. We both ordered steak and paired it with wine. "I'm sure you were super busy earlier preparing for the tournament.""While you were sleeping," he replied with a smile. "I honestly didn’t know what I would do if you had refused to sleep earlier. That was the only time I had to prepare all of this.""I didn’t realize. I must have been really tired then, so I didn’t suspect anything. And this is too extravagant for just a few hours of preparation.""I can’t take all the credit. Khaianne helped me to speed up the setup, and the staff pitched in too."I smiled. "Thank you so much for this, Oxem."He smiled back. "Thank you so much, too, for coming with me.""It’s my pleasure."We continued eating while chatting. It had been a while since we last dined out together due to how busy we both were. In a way, the kids’ tournament turned out to be a blessing in disguise, giving us a chance to have a date.After dinner, we hea

Bivianne"Congratulations, everyone!" I greeted them as we left the venue. We had stayed a bit longer inside since they proceeded straight to the awarding ceremony."Thank you, Ate Bivianne!""Thanks, Bi!"They all hugged me at once, and we almost lost our balance. Thankfully, Oxem quickly caught me around the waist, preventing us from falling."Calm down, guys," Oxem said. "You might hurt yourselves."They pouted, making me smile as I hugged each of them one by one. "I guess we won’t get hurt if I hug you all individually."They all grinned widely and returned my hugs. After that, we walked down the hallway. I thought we were heading to dinner, but to my surprise, they went straight to a room to review their game.Before they could enter, I blocked their way. "Hold up! I know you’re used to reviewing your game right after playing, but you guys won! You need to take it easy and celebrate before coming back here."Instead of answering, they all looked at Oxem. I raised an eyebrow at hi
