The CEO's "Little Man" 119: Confession
Maxwell couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing. And he knows for sure that he isn't dreaming so could this mean…He looked towards Ethan who was standing behind Angelina for confirmation and just as he nodded his head to confirm that indeed she has regained her memories, Angelina's voice rent the air once again. "Pfft! Can you believe this, bro? I thought that your friend would be a little more excited about seeing me but it seems…"Angelina never got to finish saying what she intended to as she suddenly felt her body engulfed in a very tight hug against a warm, tall, hard and familiar body. In a flash, her own hands automatically wrapped themselves around the tall, imposing figure. At the same time, her eyes fluttered close on their own accord. Their joined bodies reverberated as in unison, both she and Maxwell released very huge, deeply felt sighs of relief. Home, at last! At long, long last they are finally where they rightfully belonged; in the most blissful home ev
The CEO's "Little Man" 120: Happily Ever After...
Over the moon with joy, Maxwell hastily slipped the ring unto her finger and as he got up to seal it with a kiss, Angelina's hand suddenly appeared in front of his lips and pushed them away from hers. "Not so fast, lover boy! We have a score to settle first."Maxwell's eyes instantly widened in trepidation. What score do they have to settle? He thought they have already crossed that bridge earlier. He thought she had already forgiven him! But before he could voice out his fears, Angelina's melodic voice reached his ears. "You came here, wowed me with your mind-blowing confession, went ahead to steal my breath away by telling me I'm the one for you, your peace of mind, your bane of existence, your home, your soulmate and so many other mind-blowing things before going down on one knee and proposing to me. You did all that, without even giving me any chance to state my own feelings. Oh I forgot, I don't suppose to have any feelings. After all, 'you know I don't share your feel
The CEO's "Little Man" Epilogue
Six months later… In the just concluded bakery section of the state of the art buildings of Isabella Gallagher Memorial Foundation, a heavily pregnant Angelina waddled around, inspecting the ultramodern baking equipments. Even though Lucy had volunteered to be the caretaker of the London-based foundation center, from time to time, Angelina goes there to inspect things, especially when a new project has been completed or when some newly- bought equipments have arrived. That's not because she didn't trust Lucy's capability of handling things superbly. No, far from it. She knows she's quite capable and just goes there to make sure things are running smoothly. After all, the foundation is her pet project and her lifelong dream and she loves it just like her own baby! So far, apart from the basic infrastructures that had already been established in both the American and London-based foundation centers, a culinary school, sewing and knitting center, sports arena, arts school for painting
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter One : Becoming A Man
Luca Giovanni put the final touches on one of the most spectacular jobs he has ever done in the twenty years of his career. With one last brush through the short, chestnut brown hair, he spoke in his deep Italian accent, "That's it! You're all set to go!" Then, turning the chair around so that the person sitting on it was now facing the mirror, he added, "Say hello to the latest young Adonis in town! Sei un bel ragazzo giovane, Angelina!" (You make such a handsome young dude, Angelina!) Smiling, Angelina corrected him. "Marcus…I'm now…" She trailed off as her eyes fell on her reflection on the mirror, or should that be 'his' reflection? Because the person reflected on the mirror was in no way like a woman, far from it! With her mouth agape, Angelina McQueen stared in utter shock at the reflection staring back at her. Jumping up on her feet, she kept turning from one side to the other, checking out her new, completely different look. If not for the familiar plum
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Two : The One
Naturally, Angelina is a very lively, vivacious, carefree and boisterous person and she wouldn't be caught dead staying idle and doing nothing. So, when they were ushered into the lounge to await their respective turn for the interview, she just couldn't sit on the very comfortable-looking sofa and waste her precious time. Immediately the interviewer's secretary placed them on a sort of queue by giving them numbers, she got up and started wandering around. Thus, breaking rule number two of 'interview protocols' which a good friend of hers gave her. Smiling, she tried to recall all the rules so she could happily break them. After all, rules are always meant to be broken in Angelina McQueen's dictionary!Rule #1: Greet everyone you meet at the vicinity, even security guards because sometimes the bosses disguise themselves...Well, too bad she's too much of a social and cheerful person so she couldn't break this rule as she greeted every single person she met.Rule #2 : No wandering aro
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Three : Meeting The CEO
Although Angelina is not really a very religious person, she did take time to pray to the almighty before stepping out of the elevator upon reaching the topmost floor.Having seen the splendid, elegant and exquisite decor displayed in all the floors she has so far been to in this top-notch building, Angelina was surprised to see the floor of the CEO himself. She had expected to see even more breathtaking and captivating splendour but everywhere was just…bland.Yes, that's the right word---bland as it looked quite nondescript compared to the other floors she had been to. It lacked the interesting features and monumental decorations that made the other floors captivating. There wasn't even a single ornamental item in sight except some few devices she knows nothing of...at least not yet. There was a coffee station, a small lounge which Angelina presumed was for his VVIP guests as there was a larger one on the twentieth floor, then two offices. She could clearly see that the first one wa
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Four: The Mission
Chapter Four: The Mission.Angelina finally woke up with a groan of annoyance at a quarter after six in the morning. She had originally set her alarm at five am so she could have ample time to perfect her disguise just as Luca taught her but she kept snoozing it until she finally got up after the fifth ring.It has been a week since the interview at M.J Tech and just the previous day, she had received a call from Mr. Bentley, who sounded robotic as he conveyed the message of her employment and immediate assumption of duty. At that time, she was at the coffee shop where she works during the day time so she quickly called Alicia, her best friend and roommate, to take over her position as the barista just as previously planned.However, despite Alicia's advice, Angelina refused to resign from her night time jobs as well. She knew that if things go according to plan, her job at M.J Tech would just be temporary and to achieve her mission in life, she needs money. Therefore, she wasn't read
The CEO's "Little Man" Chapter Five: His Deepest Secret
Chapter Five: His Deepest Secret.Observing protocols, Angelina reported at the receptionist's desk and to her disappointment, she learnt from one of the receptionists, David, that the big boss was already on seat. But that notwithstanding, she was still confident she'd impress him as she has arrived forty minutes before schedule.Upon arrival at her new office on the topmost floor, Angelina found a box of a brand new mobile phone and a laptop, both bearing the logo of the company----M.J Tech. On top of the box, there was a short note written in a very neat, cursive handwriting which read, 'As long as you're within the premises of M.J Tech, these are your only gadgets. Personal mobile phones and laptops are prohibited.Take note.'Angelina didn't need anyone to tell her who wrote that note, it was undoubtedly the CEO himself. Even though she had never seen his handwriting before, this one had his name written all over it----it's just as sophisticated, elegant and majestic as the ma

The CEO's "Little Man" 118: A Reunion Of Lovers
Ethan and Robert had just finished having an early dinner together and were on their way to the airport when the former received a call. Upon checking the caller id on the screen, a frown materialized on his face. But that notwithstanding, he swiped and answered the call. "What's up Dr. I-know-it-all? Have you perhaps forgotten your stethoscope with me? Or is it your brain?"From the other end, Dr. Nick sighed. "Look, Mr. Marlowe, I haven't called you for another round of bickering. We need to talk. Urgently. Where are you now? Since you're answering your calls I can tell that you haven't boarded the plane yet, so where can I meet you?"It was Ethan's turn to frown as he instantly became alert. "What's the matter? What happened? How is Angie? Don't tell me anything happened to her! M.J would kill you if anything happens to even a single hair on her head!"Dr. Nick huffed. "Relax, dude. Jolie is perfectly fine. Well, I guess she'll be if only you keep quiet, listen t
The CEO's "Little Man" 117: What God Has Joined Together...
Dr. Nick clamped his eyes shut as out of nowhere, sudden pain, sadness and gloom overcame him. How could he have been so blinded? How could he have let his feelings cloud his rational thinking? He had fallen for a woman who is way beyond his reach! He knew right from the onset that she belonged to someone else, that she was someone else's wife but he still let his guard down such that his hidden and long-suppressed feelings for her gradually resurfaced!And now, she is pregnant. What cruel game is this that fate is playing with them all? Here he is, deeply and passionately in love with his childhood buddy but he can neither express it nor even think of acting on it because she's carrying the baby of another man. Another man whom she has absolutely no memories of at all– the man she believes is nobody but a complete stranger to her! God! What kind of mess is this?!What is he supposed to do now? How is he going to break the news of her pregnancy to her when she doesn't even remember h
The CEO's "Little Man" 116: Shocking Realization
Angelina grinned widely at him. "Of course! You're my best friend so of course you can't just like me! And you know the feeling is mutual too, right? You're the bestest best friend in the whole wide world and so I love you too!"Once again, Dr. Nick gave her that strange, intense look and cleared his throat. "Erm…Jolie, I have something that I want to tell…"Just then, the shrill sound of his phone interrupted him and as he looked down at the caller id, his entire demeanor instantly changed. Without answering the call, he abruptly got up from his seat while saying to Angelina, "Shit! I completely forgot that I'm supposed to meet someone by two pm today and it's already a quarter to two now."Perplexed at his reaction to the call, Angelina, who had also seen the caller id before he silenced the phone, frowned up at him in confusion. "Who is this Mr. Blondie whose mere call has gotten you so worked up like this? You don't even behave this way when the hospital medical
The CEO's "Little Man" 115: A Subtle Confession
Maxwell stood in front of the large painting of Angelina and himself in his exquisitely furnished living room, slowly tracing the outline of his wife's gorgeous face with misty eyes and a forlorn and wistful expression on his face.All of a sudden, he felt a hand on his shoulder and even before her gentle, soothing voice rent the air, he knew it was his mother. "You know that staring at her picture will not magically conjure her up, right? Why are you doing this to yourself, son? When will you stop punishing yourself? It's been almost two months now since we left Croatia. Since you left your wife with a complete stranger! All you do is keep sending money, stuffs and either Ethan or Robert to go check on her while you remain here torturing yourself with depressing thoughts. Just take a look at yourself. You haven't just lost a lot of weight but also look so haggard! Arnold told me that once I'm not here, you don't eat at all and hardly sleep at night. And now you're standing here
The CEO's "Little Man" 114: When Hidden Feelings Resurface...
When Dr. Nick had given Angelina the two gadgets that Maxwell sent over for her, she had only accepted the laptop and refused to accept the phone, claiming that she had no use for it since she had no one to communicate with.Even though that's what she claimed, the real reason is because she doesn't want any reminder of her past life at the moment, the past life that she has no memories of as at present. She knows that once she has a phone, someone connected to her forgotten past might call her and that will inevitably push back those depressing thoughts which she had shoved away to the forefront and hence, make her sad and gloomy. And that's the last thing she wanted at the moment. All she wants is to pretend as if all is well, to live in the moment, to be happy and keep having great fun with her best friend. Therefore, she surely doesn't want a phone as of now! If her memories return in the future, then she'd surely require a phone. But as of now, she had no need for it!When Dr. Ni
The CEO's "Little Man" 113: Fun time
Dr. Nick didn't get a chance to return to his office until much later in the evening when he had rounded up all he had to do for the meantime. And after having one look at his tired face, Angelina abruptly got up, took the lunch basket in her left hand before holding Dr. Nick's hand with the right one. "You're coming home with me right this second, Dr. Lifesaver!"However, instead of letting her to pull him along with her like she intended to, Dr. Nick stayed put in his place while shaking his head and saying, "No Jolie. I can't leave now. I just performed surgeries on two of my patients and I have to be there when they eventually come to. I need to assess them and…" "Oh no, Dr. Lifesaver, you have already done your part. There are other doctors who can do whatever needs to be done. Besides, you look so tired and dead on your feet and as far as I know, you can only save lives when you yourself are alive and well! So like I said earlier, you are coming home with me now
