The CEO's "Little Man" 48: The Doting Wife
Just then, Angelina's phone, which was closer to Maxwell as she had left it there after their video chat with Nanna, started ringing, bringing him out of his reverie.Looking down at the screen, his expression instantly changed from poker to grim upon seeing the name floating on the screen. Angelina on the other hand, let out a broad smile when she picked up the phone and saw who was calling her. Jeremy had earlier called to ask if he could come pick her up to help him choose a ring for Alicia as he was terrible at those sorts of things and he needed to impress his fiancee. "Hi Jerry! Are you here already?!"She became silent for a short while as she listened to the person on the other side. "Cool! You're right on time! I just finished doing what I needed to do. I'll be with you in a jiffy. I just have to run upstairs to grab my overcoat…"She trailed off as she bent down to give Isabella a peck, mouthing "See you later" before hurrying out of the dining room, without even
The CEO's "Little Man" 49: The Doting Wife 2
Angelina felt as if her whole world has come crashing down and thus she had no idea how she managed to do it but in a heartbeat, she was standing right there in front of the slumped figure of her husband. Slowly and in great anticipation, she bent over and as her glassy, tear-filled eyes finally registered his deeply, peacefully asleep form, she didn't know when she released a very, very deep breath— the breath she didn't know she was holding.He was just sleeping! He was fine! He was okay! He hasn't fallen unconscious! Geez! Angelina had never felt so relieved in her entire life!And as the relief wore off, she couldn't help but rove her eyes all over his sleeping figure, gawking at him and drinking in his beautifully handsome features as hungrily as she had never done before. While asleep he looked quite different— good difference. His features were much softer while sleeping. The grim lines which usually crease his brows were nowhere to be seen, making him look more handsome and ap
The CEO's "Little Man" 50: Chaos
November passed by in a blur and just like that, it was the festive month already. By the middle of the month, an excited Angelina suggested to Isabella that they should go for christmas shopping, making the teenager's eyes widen as large as saucers. She had never been to a mall or supermarket or anywhere else for shopping or whatsoever in her life.Though she does her own shopping, choosing the type of clothes she wants, shoes, cosmetics, snacks and other cravings— just everything she wanted but it was all online. Right from childhood, Maxwell sits down with her in front of the laptop, browsing through Amazon, eBay and other different shopping platforms, allowing her to choose whatever she wanted and he buys them for her. The mansion was like her whole world. It's within its four walls that she had lived her entire life and the only few times she had stepped out of it was when either Angelina or Nanna insisted on an outing, just like the unforgettable trip to the resort they once ha
The CEO's "Little Man" 51: Isabella's Maama.
By the time they reached the top-notch, renowned hospital, true to his words, Maxwell was already waiting with two nurses holding a stretcher at the entrance. Before Gregory could even get to park the car properly, Maxwell had burst the car door open and pulled Isabella out of the car.He wasted no time in laying her down on the stretcher and didn't wait for the nurses as he himself wheeled her straight to the emergency room, where the doctors were already waiting for her, with a tearful Angelina in tow, anxiously pushing the stretcher from her side.As the doctors sent them out and locked the door behind them, the couple helplessly waited in the hallway, right outside the emergency room. While Maxwell just stood with his back against the wall, so still and emotionless like a statue, Angelina kept restlessly pacing up and down, crying profusely. She wasn't really a prayerful person but desperate times call for desperate measures and so after pacing for the umpteenth time, she bent dow
The CEO's "Little Man" 52: Progress.
The next day, Isabella was discharged from the hospital as she was now hale and hearty. And following Dr. Ipkins' advice, both Angelina and Maxwell avoided broaching any sensitive topic that could be a potential trigger to her.From that day onwards, nobody ever spoke about the unfortunate encounter with the blonde woman at all. Instead, they pretended as if nothing happened and went on with their normal lives. Knowing Isabella and how sensitive she was, Angelina decided it was best to treat her as they normally did and not cosset and pamper her more or treat her like a weakling just because of her ailment. She believes that doing that would make the teenager become insecure and hence, retreat back into her shell and revert back to the hysterical girl she had once been. Following her lead, Maxwell also treated Isabella in the same way he has been doing ever since Angelina came into their lives. And that really helped a great deal because at first, Isabella was apprehensive, thinking
The CEO's "Little Man" 53: Double Celebrations
It was Christmas day and upon Angelina's insistence, they all went to a nearby church for service before returning to the mansion for the lavish feast she and Isabella had prepared for everyone as Alejandro had travelled to his home country. Since Nanna couldn't make it, their only guest for the celebration was Ethan. Angelina had wanted to invite Alicia and Jeremy as well but the couple already had plans to spend Christmas with the Logans.After finishing the scrumptious brunch and clearing the dishes, Ethan and Maxwell excused themselves, leaving the ladies busy taking selfies on their cell phones. They were both clad in the beautiful matching dresses they bought specifically for the Christmas celebration. It was Isabella's idea for them 'to twine together as mother and daughter' and so they bought the same mauve colored dresses and both of them looked divine in it.After a while, Isabella excused herself and when she returned, she signalled Angelina to follow her. Curious, Angelina
The CEO's "Little Man" 54: First Love.
As she uttered that revered name, the thoughts of the last time she had seen him crossed her mind, which also happened to be the most embarrassing moment of her entire life. It was at the time that she got her very first period and the incident that had occurred then— she can never forget that. And just like she does everytime she recalls the embarrassing incident— just like on that fateful day that Isabella got her first period, she blushed profusely. However, seeing her blush, Ethan misunderstood the reason behind it. "Ah! I can see that this Nick or was it Cage, must be really special indeed. Just a mere mention of his name and you're as red as a beetroot! But why do you call him Cage? Is that his middle name?"With that same wistful smile on her reddened face, Angelina slowly shook her head before replying in a longing tone. "No. It's just my alias for him. He calls…used to call me 'Jolie' after the famous actress Angelina Jolie and so I called him 'Cage' after the
The CEO's "Little Man" 55: Leap Of Faith
Maxwell was having another rough day at work. It was the day after Angelina's birthday and though it was Boxing day, he didn't stay behind to unwrap the Christmas gifts as he complained of work overload.

Should he make that leap of faith?These past few days, he has been seeing different sides of Angelina. Different sides that make her all the more attractive and totally irresistible to him.It was as if she was a woman covered in many layers and as gradually each one of them is uncovered, he gets to see a glimpse of the real woman hidden deep inside.
