The CEO Chapter 37
"You're glowing." Julia comments the moment I step through the door."For someone who's been out for three days." Julio adds on, I smile shyly."It's my birthday. I have a reason to glow, now speaking of birthdays where's Lucia? We are going out for lunch." Rapid footsteps meet my ears as the devil herself appears.She crashes into me as her arms tighten around my neck. "Don't ever scare me like that again." She scolds, I hug her back and place a kiss on her temple."I won't. I've just been overworking myself. " I lie, I set her down and she looks at me with wide eyes."You had fun." She traces her thumb over my neck and shoulder. I shoot a glare at Julia.Of all clothes she could've brought me she brought a off the shoulders woolen sweater which does nothing to hide the hickeys my boss decided to mark me with.On top of that I had no make up to hide it with. Thankfully they can't see the next dozen."Anyway, be ready within an hour." I tell her then make my way to my room to change.A

I dust up my chest in some gold glitter along with my collarbone and neck. Turning back to Lia and Lucia I smile hesitantly, "How do I look?" I ask.Thumbs up from both of them, "Perfect." The say simultaneously. The moment I saw that message, I may have had my 'girly' moment then I got ready, for three hours.My hair is done up, in a very complicated way thanks to Julia. Lucia helped me pick which shoes and bag to wear with the dress.The dress has sheer long lace sleeves and a sort of corseted torso and a fully covered lower body. It ends mid thigh and accentuates my breasts in a way that will 'grab every man's d*ck, including his' Julia's words not mine.Lucia decided on some five inch red bottom heels from Chanel and a gold chain strap purse from LV. To top it all off, some simple make up with glossy lips and smokey eyes.I feel like a different person tonight, a good kind of different.I'm happy.Our heads turn to the closed door as we hear Jul call my name, I take in a deep bre

I pick up the menu and my eyes widen, "I swear-""I won't." We lock eyes and I nod, "Promise." This time a waiter comes and greets us, "What would you like to order?" He looks at me, I look down at the menu."I'll have the lobster shiitake salad with the spicy lemon dressing." $68.His eyes travel to my chest, "And a side of you not looking at me chest, paired with the Garden Gimlet. Thank you."He gets my hint and looks up at my eyes, I lock eyes with him. He looks down, "I'm sorry ma'am." He then looks at Grey, who doesn't the least look calm."I'll have the Yellowtail tartar with caviar and the sashimi salad with matsuhisa dressing as the main and a grapefruit on the rocks for now. A bottle of Salon, Blanc de Blancs, Brut, Le Mesnil '06." He takes all of that down."A-anything else?" He asks avoiding eye contact with my boss."Yes, please call for a waitress to serve us. Thank you." I stare daggers at him but at the same time wondering how he could be so dismissive and polite at t

I wake up to an empty bed and killer headache, I almost think that last night didn't happen but the strong scent and birthday card on my bedside table tells me otherwise.I smile to myself, even though I don't remember most of last night the happiness is still in me.I reach over and read the card, "Happy birthday hermosa." This makes me grin even wider, I notice the car keys next to it and shrug.He must've forgotten them, I'll give them to him tomorrow.He has so many cars, I hardly think he'll notice. I snuggle in to his side of the bed taking in his scent.An hour later I finally get up, take a shower and clean up my room. I take my phone and head downstairs where the smell of bacon consumes me, I take a seat and watch Lia do her thing."You're glowing...again." She points out, I giggle."I had a very blessed birthday. What can I say?" I sigh in bliss, she slides a plate of food to me and leans on the counter and looks at me with a huge grin."I'm guessing you won't tell me what h

Hey." I greet as Nic pulls my into a hug."He's waiting in B6, and before you ask you aren't late. He's just early." I smile as this reminds me of the first time we met in a way."Thanks." I pass by my office and grab my notebook then head to the room.I walk I with a smile and he stands up immediately and sticks his hand out for. "I'm Jackson Cooper." He introduces.He looks like he's in his early fifties with peppered hair and a few stress wrinkles over his face."Rosaleigh Clarkson, Mr Grey's personal assistant." I return and motion for him to take a seat which I take opposite him."I'm not sure if Xander told you but I'm a criminal defense lawyer. I've been in this line of work for thrity five years now, I am the best of the best in the country and I'm happy to be at your service." He smiles but I find it hard to return it.I remain silent, a criminal defense lawyer?He's got to be kidding me.Mr Cooper notices my silence. "I know all about your situation and I can assure you that-

"...we will meet again in a month's time for further trial #209B." The judge bangs the gavel and takes his leave.A few people disperse except for Kat and I. Mr Cooper heads to Logan as the officer cuffs him, a part of me wants to look away. Orange has never been his colour and I'd hate to see it on him for life.They spoke for a minute before he made his way to us, meanwhile Logan kept his gaze on the floor the entire walk out of the court."What do you think?" I ask immediately as he reaches us, he nods."I know it doesn't look good but I one thing I'm a I'm aiming at is not having him in prison for more than three years." He explains."Three years?!" Kat almost yells, I grab her hand and squeeze it reassuringly."Katrina, three years is better than a life sentence. As much as I don't like it either, if that's the case...it's better than nothing." The words are heavy on my tongue, three years my brother could be in jail.I've failed as a sister.Mr Cooper speaks again, "We need to re

I quietly swirl the drink in the tumbler which is in my hand, looking at my boss who's been quiet but thankfully hasn't taken more than three drinks."Are you ready to finally talk about it?" I ask softly, I regret it the moment he downs the drink in his hand and asks for another one.I sigh, we stay silent for thirty minutes and five drinks more. Now I'm certain that the drinks have started to hit him along with anxiety for sure.His foot hasn't stopped tapping, and as much as it annoys me it stops him from snapping so."I think I should get you home." I state getting up, he shakes his head, I'm shocked."Why not?" He shakes his head."Take me up to the penthouse, Noelle can't see me like thiss..." He slurs, I nod as he gets up and slightly sways left, I'm by his side supporting half his weight."Remind me to never let you drink in my presence." I mutter as I help him walk to the elevator.He laughs, we finally get into the elevator and press the button that takes us to the penthouse
The CEO Chapter 44
Morning traffic and shuffling awakes me, I open my eyes in time to witness a worker walk out and the silver tray on wheels besides the bed.My pillow gently rises and falls, shocked I look up and realize that I am still on my boss's chest, who happens to be looking down at me."Morning." He greets, his minty breath hitting my face and aftershave filling my nostrils. He smells clean, I'm guessing he cleaned up before I woke up."Morning." I return, rising and stretching slightly. "There's some unused toothbrushes and clothes in the bathroom if you'd like." He informs, I smile in gratitude and make my way to the bathroom.I start by washing my face, as I'm rubbing the soap onto my hands I notice a silver band on my left hand.None of my rings are silver.I immediately rinse my hands and turn my hand over, my mouth falls open and heart stops.So gor-Before I even finish that thought I rip the ring off my finger and throw it at the owner the moment I'm back in the room, he catches it."
