The CEO's "Little Man" 104: Mysterious Gifts
It has been a week since Angelina regained her consciousness. And even though Dr. Nicholas Reed had deemed her fit enough to be discharged after a thorough check up and review of her medical tests, Maxwell insisted that she remain in the hospital for the time being.Even he himself had long since been given the green light by his own doctor but after careful consideration, he decided that staying at the hospital is his best option. That's mainly because of the way Angelina adamantly refused to follow him and the tantrums she throws whenever she sees him. Knowing that if she was to be discharged, she'd definitely insist on following the blasted Cage guy and that's not something he can endure or tolerate. That's why he made up his mind for both of them to remain in the hospital where she'd still be within his line of sight. After all, in the hospital he can be able to keep an eye on the two childhood friends and also, it would be hardly likely for them to cross that friendship zone in t
The CEO's "Little Man" 105: His Honey
As soon as he stepped into the room, the heads of both of the two occupants instantly whipped towards him. And it was only when he saw Angelina looking at him with wide, rounded eyes that he realized what he just did. He had been blinded by his jealousy and stormed into the room without thinking of the consequences and repercussions! He abruptly halted in his tracks and started fidgeting. What is he supposed to do now? What is he supposed to say? Although he has succeeded in stopping Angelina from feeding Nick the slice of pizza, he had unintentionally brought himself right before her! He has broken the promise he made to himself about staying away from her sight! So what now? What should he do in order to prevent her from overreacting? "Wow! What a beauty! Is that yours, Sir? Does it have a name? Can I please hold it for a second? Pretty please?"Angelina's sweet and melodic voice broke into his thoughts, making him look up sharply at her. Was she talking to him?! She seemed to
The CEO's "Little Man" 106: Tough Decision
After his emotional breakdown, it took a long while before Maxwell became able to get a hold of himself. He just remained sitting on the cold marble floor, deep in his depressing thoughts while gently stroking the colorful parrot's feathers.Eventually, Honey succumbed to the gentle lulling ministrations and dozed off in Maxwell's arms. So he ever so gently and carefully placed it down on the comfy cushion that Angelina had long since put inside the birdcage.Thereafter, instead of staying put in one place, Maxwell felt himself being drawn towards his beloved wife's room once again. Truth be told, he wanted to do as she wished but try as hard as he might, he just couldn't stay away from her. It's as if he's an addict and she's his drug. He just can't help himself.Just as he expected, the sight that greeted his eyes when he stopped at his usual spot broke his heart into more pieces yet again. Angelina and Nick were seated close to each other on the two-seater couch, having crazy fun t
The CEO's "Little Man" 107: Mother's Love
"Oh no son, you can't do that! You can't just leave her with him like that! Can't you see? That's exactly what he wants! It was his plan all along. I'm sure he's just manipulating everything and using it to his own advantage. If not, why would he insist on not telling her who you really are to her? Shine your eyes well, son. This is just a ploy to steal her away from you! Don't you see the way he looks at her? He just wants her for himself! And remember, he was her teenage crush. What do you think would happen then if you leave her in his care, and they spend days and nights together all alone, while all along Angelina thinks she's single and free to mingle? Without her knowing that she has a legally married husband who's thousands of miles away? I'm not trying to insinuate anything son, but please, I want you to just calm down and think deeply and wisely about it first." "Don't make your decision in haste and without rational thought. I know you are doing this for Angie but ple
The CEO's "Little Man" 108: Face-off
While the mother and son duo were deeply engrossed in their special bonding moment, the third occupant of the room was standing by the side with a furious and livid expression on his handsome face.Ethan couldn't fathom why his best friend gave in to that scheming and manipulative doctor! Just like Dorothy, even he doesn't believe that it's okay to leave Angelina in Dr. Nick's care while Maxwell is thousands of miles away. The manipulative doctor must have concocted those white lies about Angelina being prone to falling into a coma once again if she's told that she's married to Maxwell at the moment. No, it is as clear as day to Ethan that that is just a ploy to have Angelina all to himself so he can brainwash her and make her fall in love with him!But Ethan will not just sit still and allow him to succeed! He might have emotionally blackmailed Maxwell into giving in to his demands but he can't do so with Maxwell's best friend and lawyer! With one last look at the mother and son who
The CEO's "Little Man" 109: Cage's World
Maxwell's mind has already been made up. And so despite all Ethan's efforts, pleadings and coaxing, he made all the necessary arrangements for flying back home to London that same day.Having no other choice, Ethan reluctantly gave in and all three of them—him, Maxwell and Dorothy were on their way out of the hospital with one of his private jet's crew men pulling Maxwell's trolleys behind him when they met Angelina and Nick who were also on their own way out.Ignoring his doctor's instructions, Maxwell had gotten rid of his crutches despite the fact that his right leg isn't fully healed yet and so he was just slowly dragging the leg along with him. And when they unexpectedly came face to face with Angelina and her friend-cum-doctor, he came to a halt so suddenly and so fast that he nearly tripped and fell if Ethan hadn't been standing ever ready close by to support him if or when the need arises. As the three of them came to an abrupt halt, Angelina and Nick also stopped on their t
The CEO's "Little Man" 110: Her Cage
The next morning, Angelina woke up to the disturbing sound of a dog barking incessantly. Yawning and stretching her limbs, she sat up on the bed that felt so strangely comfortable. Bed? Comfortable?!Angelina instantly opened her groggy eyes as wide as she could. Where on earth had she gotten a bed to lie on, a very comfortable one at that? With a frown on her gorgeous face, she scanned her eyes all around the unfamiliar surrounding and it was only when they fell on a bookshelf filled with medical books that everything that happened in the past few days came flooding back to her.She's currently in Cage's apartment. She had followed him here the previous day after being discharged from the hospital. The hospital where she had been on admission for God-knows-how-long after having an accident. An accident which had apparently made her lose part of her memories since for the life of her, she can't recall anything beyond her pre-teen years. All she can recall is being a twelve years old y
The CEO's "Little Man" 111: Lunch From London
Just like Dr. Nick had warned Angelina, he was quite busy and occupied at the hospital throughout the day. However, he still squeezed out time, though just a bit briefly, to check in on her in his office where she had remained ever since their arrival at the hospital.To occupy herself, she had switched on the television set but she soon lost interest in it when she kept flicking through the channels and couldn't find anything that appealed to her. As she sat down idle on the single couch in the vast office, her eyes began roaming all over the surrounding out of their own volition. And as she did so, her eyes fell on Dr. Nick's laptop which was placed on his desk.Like a moth drawn to a flame, all of a sudden, she just felt herself being pulled towards it as she leapt up on her feet and rushed to the desk. Just like it happened to her with the guitar and the other musical instruments, she just found herself flipping the laptop open and turning it on. As soon as it was switched on, sh
