TCLM#21: The art of scheming
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56An intercom intervenes, saying that the order has arrived. Perci commanded her secretary to let the delivery guy enter. A guy wearing a red and black uniform of Max's rider arranged the food on top of the coffee table.
"Thank you for serving us." Cali smiled at the guy who delivered the food. This guy is a die-hard fan of hers. He did not expect that he was lucky enough to see her in person.
"May I have your signature, ma'am Cali. My daughter and I; we love you so much." The rider asked while scratching his back, hoping that she'll consider it. "Sure," she replied as she swiveled the chair closer to the working table. "Where should I sign?"

Cali and the guy shake hands after compromising. She smiled at the thought that she could finally lay her trap on her. It's about time to break the silence. It's about time to drop a bomb. "I'm heading out. You better watch the news today,"says Cali while winking her left eye. He did not say anything. He watched Cali walking like she won a lottery. He was left alone again at his office. There is no more Cali, who always orders him around. His inner peace comes from feeling to his deep soul that knowing no one would bother him. It is a sensation that he has earned, an inner peace dealing with things alone. An inner peace within the ton of load works. He is indeed a workaholic.

He turned off the television and got back to his swivel chair. He leaned his back in the chair and cranked his neck hard over to see the sky from my office window, delft-blue and cloudless and so bright it looked solid. "So, that's what she meant by turning the table?"His finger played with a ballpen while staring at the sky. "Unbelievable, she really resorted to that lie? She literally destroys Julia. What a madwoman." He swiveled back as he straightened the stuff on his desk, making sure everything was square and orderly spaced. There isn't much: a phone, a legal-sized lined yellow pad, a translucent Bic pen with a black top, and a pile of documents to review. He is a little overloaded right

On his way back to the Melbourne Building, his mother kept on bugging him. He had no choice but to answer her. "Siri, answer the phone call." He commanded the apple feature to answer the phone because his hands were occupied by the driving wheel and brake. "Where are you, my baby boy?" "Mom, I'm driving. Do not distract me!" "Are you still with Cali?" "Hell no, are we supposed to stick together? I had shared enough toxic air with that woman. I need to have me-time."Why
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM #25: Kiss goodbye
Cali walked out of the library as soon as they finished discussing things. She bumped into Perci, who had been standing outside the door."What the hell are you standing there for?"She asked while crossing her arms together. "I'm not standing outside the library. I was passing by, got it?" He furrowed his brows and crossed his arms too. "Really? I bet you are eavesdropping."She is teasing him with her mouth grinning like a devil. "I'm not."He rolled his eyes.
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#26: Did Cali brush off the wedding?
Julia pushed Cali into the edge of her evil plan. She tapped on the 'Send' button, and the internet addict went wild after seeing the recorded footage of a man who confessed about Julia's misdeed. She had to hide the identity of the guy and even blurred his face to protect him. The video had been uploaded to an anonymous media outlet. Within only seconds, it went viral. The footage launched the media abuzz, the video of a man confessing to Julia's anger management and bad attitude had spread like wildfire. "Let's see who would be at a greater loss. You should have lie-low Julia, but your stupidity acted," Cali uttered. She rests her head on the magic cushioned pillow. She needed a rest because their wedding moved by tomorrow. Perci's parents had it moved as early as possible as if it's the end of the world.

She positions her car and drives up to the available space between Audi and Crusader cars. Now, what she has to do is lock her steering wheel and start reversing in... straighten up and turn it back in. Her next move is to turn her steering wheel back into the middle position...and the final aligning—Viola! Perfect parking between two cars. She wore her black eyeglasses and face mask and ran into the elevator. Her phone kept on buzzing; it was not the time for her to answer the call. Her feet had almost not touched the ground as she walked to the assigned bride's room. "I'm sorry, I'm late."She rushed in front of the mirror.
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#28: What happened after exchanging of Vows?
Cali looked at Perci as if saying 'it's-just-a-kiss-come-on'.Perci was reluctant to do it, still forced himself to close the gap between them. He had stopped just about an inch away. Cali, impatiently waiting and wanting to end this farce, touched Perci's face and kissed him on the lips. Perci was disoriented when he felt soft lips touch his lips. It was a smacked kiss, yet it made him thorn between feeling dirty and angry. Her kiss brings nothing, no romantic feeling, no butterfly on his stomach, just pure disgust. In his life as an actor before, he never allowed any kissing scene nor x-rated fil

After the wedding, they immediately changed their clothes to casual one. It would be weird to walk in the hotel lobby wearing a wedding suit and gown. A girl standing outside the elevator spotted Perci and Cali together. She gasped in disbelief that she is seeing the actress and the hot CEO today. There is no use to disguise themselves since they are with Ceci and Perry.It's not a problem if the netizen spotted them together since they announced their relationship. A girl took her phone and immediately flashed the camera to the couple. Perci put his pointing finger against his lips to say that the girl should shut her mouth. They stepped out of the elevator and went to L'Opera Ristorante Italiano. They did not cater to the receptionist but stuck with a simple dinner.

"I am the father of the twins, right?" he asked while keeping his eyes on her without blinking. Cali looked away and didn't say a thing. She was paralyzed to the spot, the menacing aura of Perci holding him in a tightening grip. "Damn it! Answer me!" She jolted when Perci shouted and threatened her with dead eyes. She spits on him, but Perci didn't mind it. He grinned and wiped his face on her clothes. "Why are you hiding my child from me?!"He is pinning her much more aggressively than before. She laughed and met his cold eyes, "Stop hallucinating!"

He went to the gym to keep his body in shape. After his exercise, he changed into comfortable red t-shirt and humble jersey shorts. He walked Perree into the lobby and kept on barking at Cali.She glared at him while the other two receptionists were admiring Perree's cuteness. "I rarely see you these days sir since ma'am Reese checked out,"says one of the receptionists. He flaunted a Colgate smile that irritates Cali. She rolled her eyes and rested her head on the chair. Her ears are with them but she acted disinterested. "Why is Perree barking on you, Cali? He looks excited to see you." Cali is uneasy because Perci might bring their past which she had hidden and

The mirror invites Perci to see his soul and the condition of his heart, to look past physical features. He sees nothing but a man in his 40's, single and broken. 'I wish I had not met you again.' He broke the mirror; it was the last mirror in his room because the rest is broken. A crack runs across the glass, finding the weaknesses that were once small. From a perfect mirror to something that is unrecognizable. He watches each fragment fly outward until they lie still yet vicious on the Marmol floor. Breaking glass has become his art and comfort. There is nothing more broken than his heart. Those fragments are nothing compared to his heart. He watched them shatter and release just a fragment of the rage that keeps him upright. He stood up and stared at the city lights from the glass wall whil
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#120: What if...?
It has been a week since she received a message from Henry. She wondered what happened to that guy. There is no flower nor good morning from him. She shrugged her shoulders and focused on the kids instead. Today is her rest day, and she has no plan but to spend it with her angels. "Mommy, can you tell us about daddy? We still don't know his name, and we have not seen any picture of him,"says Perxeus while coloring his activity. "Mommy, the teacher told us to describe our daddy, but we don't know anything about him," Calici seconded. Cali's eyes darted around, panicking, looking for a way to evade their question. Her eyes widened in alarm, unable to look away no matter how much she wished to distract and not answer the

"Mom, your phone is vibrating. A guy named Henry texted you a good morning,"says Perxeus while holding her phone. She snatched it and messed up her son's hair."Who is that guy, mom?" "Are you replacing dad because he is with papa Jesus?"Calici pouted and crossed her arms. "Of course not, cupcakes. He is a good friend of mine. I'll introduce him to both of you, soon."She kissed their forehead. That guy who saved her daughter is Henry. Yeah, she finally asked his name. That guy seems like a very private person. Well, she cannot blame him, he is an effin billionaire that is why he is hiding his identity. They had a good talk yesterday, and he is a gentleman? —

The next day, he decided to visit Reese at her unit. He made sure that Cali was on her shift. He only wants to see her, even for a stolen second. He glanced at the information desk and prepared to be hurt again when their eyes met, only for Cali to look away.The same pain lingers on his heart; whether Cali is glaring at him or not looking at all, nothing much changes. He walked past her and went straight to the elevator. He glanced at Reese and thought that everyone around him need not know about Cali. "Smile," says Reese. She uses her two fingers to move Perci's lips. "I’m not in the mood, I came here because Liah and Albert want to throw a party at your place." "Was it because of the receptionist named Cali?” He looked away an

Perci was busy with C.M Industry, but Cali still visits his mind often. Just like today, he had stopped reviewing the ratings of the company. He stared at their scratched wedding pictures; no matter how many times he folds it and throws it, he only ends up picking it again. When the investigator sent it to him, he printed it and kept it. He closed his eyes and hurt himself again by stabbing Cali's last word to him. It hurts more than a stab from a sharp object. Cali's words are not just a knife but also a poison that is slowly killing him. "It's because I do not want to cross paths with you ever again. So, please leave me alone. Forget that we had been together for almost two years." He has this misty-eyes that is hiding a tear which he does not want to be fre

Reese had a good night's sleep thanks to Perci’s effort in giving a comfortable place to stay. She stood up when her phone rang. Ceci is on the other line, obviously to ask if Perci did come to the airport to escort her. "Reese, did Perci escorted you?" "Yes, Auntie."Her hunch is right. "How are you guys doing?” "We had a small talk yesterday and he told me that he used to marry a woman named Cali but they had separated six years ago." The other line was filled with dead air until Ceci broke the silence."Yes, that woman he married eloped with another man.”
