The Forgotten CEO 28. The photos in her hands.
"Miss Lou, are you really leaving?" Lin Xian asked her, while she helped her put her things in a box. She nodded unhappily. She had to leave the company though the previous decision of ousting her in the company was invalidated by the chairman himself. Due to her grandfather's hospitalization, the matter was also not pursued by the president. But she had to resign from her position. Her grandparents were still leaving to get treatment abroad for Grandfather Lou, while she had to stay with Liam. She agreed without knowing their plan. It was because she knew she could trust them."Shall I go with you, then?" Lin Xian looked at her straightly. Jacyn knew she was willing to go with her, but unfortunately she couldn't bring her."Miss Lin, you've been a good secretary to me. I trust that whoever becomes the new director, you'll do a lot better. If ever I come back, will you be my secretary again?" Jacyn will surely remember her. She had helped her a lot. "Besides, I need someone who will
The Forgotten CEO 29. A Heartless Monster
'Winnie Lou.'People around them stopped what they were doing. Everyone heard clearly the name of the woman who was too brave but stupid enough to call the CEO. "So, she was the model, Winnie Lou." One woman scoffed."Yeah, she looked so ordinary off cam, right?" The other one said with a giggle."You're more beautiful than her." A guy said to one lady who in turn blushed and smacked the guy's hand.Everyone judged her and didn't bother to hide their disgust. She didn't expect the people's animosity towards her. She felt panicked but composed herself, she had something that will surely interest the big boss. She casually flipped the photo on her hand as she said, "Young Master, I'm so flattered you remember me." She winked at him flirtatiously as she walked nearer to him. She believed that he would give her a face since the cards were on her side. Winnie Lou was stopped by the guards before she could even reach the young master. Jawn Ng walked in front of Winnie Lou as he forcefull
The Forgotten CEO 30. Simply Madness
"Liam…" She called him in a very low voice that it came out as a whisper. "Hmmm…?" He heard her though. He had closed his eyes while listening to her on the phone. Her voice was like music to his ears, soothing him. "No-nothing, are you busy now?" It was not like her to ask how he was doing. "No." He simply answered her. Who's not busy? He was actually very busy. As a CEO of the leading company, no one would expect him to have his free time. He had many meetings to attend to, he had so much in his hands right now. But for Jacyn, he could leave everything. "Really? Then could you make time to go to the hospital with me right now?" She asked him. Her grandfather will be discharged today and will continue to recuperate at home. He will have his private nurse to attend to his needs as they wait for their scheduled flight abroad."Yeah, sure. Where are you right now?" He was on his way to meet a client but since Jacyn called, he had to reschedule it. He meaningfully looked at Jawn Ng w
The Forgotten CEO 31. Never be the same again.
"Grandmother!" Jacyn tightly hugged her grandmother as she opened the door. She was surprised at how Jacyn acted towards her."Did you miss me that much? We just saw each other this morning." Grandmother Lou said laughingly at her granddaughter's sweet gestures. "I really missed you, Grandmother. And I am just trying to hug you as much as I can since you're still here with me." She said as she acted cutely in front of her.Grandmother was unhappy upon hearing her words. She was right. They will be separated again. Why were these circumstances always not in their favor? Why do they always have to part to keep each other alive? They were good people, must the heavens keep on punishing them like this?"Grandfather, are you ready to go home?" Jacyn asked her grandfather. Grandfather Hou Lou thoughtfully nodded to his dear granddaughter. They were already set. They were just waiting for them to arrive."Grandfather." Liam respectfully greeted him."Liam." He looked at him approvingly. Sin
The Forgotten CEO 32. No longer bound by the past.
"Let's get married." Jacyn stopped on her track without turning back. She had already walked away from him. "Jacyn, let's get married." He repeated it, louder than the first one. There was a hint of desperation in his voice. There were a few people who had heard him had stopped to look at them and wait for the outcome of his question. But eventually had to turn away from them after a few minutes of her silence.She heard him the first time, loud and clear. But she refused to turn back and look at him, she refused to let him see the surprise on her face. She didn't expect that he could still ask her to marry him despite all the things that happened between them. If he had asked her to marry him on that fateful day, maybe she had already said yes. She had hoped in the past to hear those words from him, especially on that day. But instead of proposing to her, he had asked another woman to marry him. What made it worse is he did it on their supposed third anniversary. She was left wi
The Forgotten CEO 33. Her Doubts
She silently watched as her grandparents entered the airport along with the private nurse and her grandfather's secretary. She sighed unhappily when she couldn't see them anymore. She couldn't wait to see them until their scheduled return three months later."Let's go, Jacyn." She looked back at Liam, whom she found looking at her intently. "Do you think everything will be okay?" She asked him, doubts clouding her mind. She was still uncertain of what the future holds. "Of course, don't you trust me?" Liam frowned at her. This girl doesn't trust him enough. Jacyn looked down shyly. She was left with no other choice but to depend on this man. If she could only start all over again, she wouldn't be as daring as before. She could have planned well and avoided getting the attention of the enemy that early. But it happened already, all she could do now is hope that it was not yet too late. "I should put my trust in you, right? As if I have a choice." Those words just slipped out of her
The Forgotten CEO 34. Her first day.
"Kring…kring…"Jacyn's standard ringing tone loudly rang. She was still sleepy as she answered the phone without looking at the caller's ID."He-hello!" She was half asleep. She couldn't sleep the night before. She just turned and turned and turned. It was already dawn when she finally fell asleep. "Jacyn, where the hell are you?" Young Master Lee roared angrily at the other side of the line. "Are you still sleeping?" She suddenly opened her eyes as she remembered that today was supposed to be her first day at the Lee Corporation. Why did she have to oversleep? She was actually a morning person who hates to wake up late. She also hated to be late, especially when going to work.She hastily got up and answered him. "I'll be there in ten." She cut the call immediately, not waiting for his response. She felt guilty but him, being angry at her, won't help.Young Master Lee gritted his teeth. He always goes to work at 9:00 in the morning. The standard time in for the employees was 8:00.
The Forgotten CEO 35. Liam's Personal Assistant
Liam was feeling restless. Every minute that passed that Jacyn wasn't around, he felt that something was wrong. Did she back out at the last minute? What changed her mind then? Was it his attitude yesterday? Did she suddenly feel afraid of him? Was he way too hard on her?"Young Master, the receptionist called. Miss Lou's on her way up here." Jawn Ng informed him. When Jawn learns about Jacyn working in the company, he had hoped to see the happy days ahead. He thought that their boss would always be in a good mood. The stressful days were over. Upon their arrival this morning and he saw no trace of Miss Lou, he was very worried especially when he noticed how the young master's mood turned from happy to sad. The temperature in the office suddenly dropped as the cold CEO showed his tantrums by asking them to submit reports that were supposed to be finished on the next day. Almost all the secretaries have been scolded. They were all trembling in fear.He felt relieved when he received a

The Forgotten CEO 50. Confusion
She groggily wakes up to the sound of the alarm. She felt so tired and sleepy yet she had to get up else the young master would scold her for being late again.Jacyn hastily got up and readied herself. She had no time to waste as it was already late. Silence enveloped her as she went out of her room. She silently went to the kitchen and heated whatever leftover food from last night as she waited for Liam. But thirty minutes gone and he was still out of sight. As she was beginning to feel something was amiss, she knocked on his room only to find out that the young master had already left."Why did he leave me? Why did he not wake me up?" Jacyn complained to herself. Sometimes, she couldn't understand him. She couldn't decipher his thoughts. "Ahhh…did I make him angry again?" Suddenly, she felt nervous. What if the young master was angry at her? He may make her life more miserable.She ran and got her things. She could just drive alone at the company. She saw her car keys in her bag but
The Forgotten CEO 49. The Only Constant
The past few weeks were like a roller coaster ride for Jacyn. From her ex-boyfriend's betrayal to her failed revenge plan, she felt everything's going against her. She felt her world was crushed down and then, when she decided to fight, everyone unites and brings her down to the core. Nothing's going according to her plan.During those times of chaos and turmoil, except for her grandparents, Liam was the only constant in her life. Since he was introduced as her fiance, he was really acting like one. Like he had known her all his life and as if it was not arranged. The first time they met, he made it look like they weren't strangers. He even told her that she had forgotten him. Since that day, he had not told her why he had said that. She was also afraid to know so she never asked him. They avoid the topic like a plague. But she could feel that Liam treats her differently from the others. He was a cold, distant CEO to other people. They were scared and just admired him from afar. But
The Forgotten CEO 48. The Last Minute Change
"Achoo…" Jacyn sneezed as she shivered. Did someone think badly about her?"Hey, are you okay?" Liam asked her worriedly as he checked on her temperature."I'm okay. I just feel cold all of a sudden." She smiled at him. They're on their way to the office. Though they went to the office together almost everyday, no one suspects anything about them. They believed it was just a pure employer-employee relationship. "Drink some meds later." His brows knitted. "Uhmm, okay boss." She rolled her eyes at him as she agreed or else he won't stop on nagging her. As days passed by, she felt comfortable with him like she already knew him for so long. Even she couldn't believe it, she knew how long she could warm up to people, but to Liam. It took him barely a month for her to feel like they were the best of friends. "Young master?""Uhmm, yeah?" He answered gently without looking at her."Why are you so good to me?" She asked while she looked at his side face. He was so handsome even on the side
The Forgotten CEO 47. Young Master Yan - Part II
"Big Brother Yan! Don't forget me when you get there." The young Jacyn told her with teary eyes. She was in pigtails and a princess gown. She was the princess of the Lou family. She was seven years old when he last saw her. He was thirteen. Liam was twelve. Their grandfathers were best friends since they were young, so they grew up together. They became best friends. He remembered they used to play together. Jacyn was a bubbly, little girl who played with them all day. Since she grew up with them, the game was all for boys and she blended with them easily. She was not a typical crybaby. She was an independent and strong little girl. Their time together was shortened when his family decided to migrate to the States. He didn't want to leave her there but he had no choice. "I'll take care of her, Xueqin." Liam patted his back as re-assurance. He just nodded at him and gave him a brotherly hug.That was the last time he saw Jacyn. Four years passed and he received a news from his gra
The Forgotten CEO 46. Young Master Yan
"I'm just kidding you." Master Yan laughed out loud looking at the two of them. "I know you're really meant for each other." He said with a meaningful gaze. He remembered how broken everyone was when the news about the Lou family being murdered. Only few and closest friends knew about Jacyn being alive. No one questioned the Old Lou why they hid Jacyn for a long time. And now, he could see that the old man had done a good job hiding her. "I've known the situation of the Lou Group. Don't hesitate to ask for help from me, young lady. I will try to give assistance whenever possible." He added seriously."Thank you, Grandfather." Jacyn bowed as a sign of respect to him.He laughed, "The old Lou was abroad? Now that I have already come back, he's not around. How about the Lee patriarch?" "My grandparents were both in the province. They love the climate there, especially the morning breeze as they walk on the beach." Liam answered. " You should visit them one of these days. I think you'll
The Forgotten CEO 45. Connections
"Miss Lou, what happened yesterday? Where did you guys go?" The secretaries surrounded Jacyn once they saw the CEO enter his office. They were already on 'gossip' mode."Have you seen them lovey dovey with each other?" They were thrilled to know if their goddess and the CEO were really in a relationship.Jacyn looked at Mr. Ng who just got out of the CEO's office. They didn't know that he was there already. He stifled his laughter as he heard them bombard her by their stupid questions. He didn't move and shrugged his shoulders playfully.Jacyn secretly rolled her eyes at Mr. Ng, she really didn't know how to handle these bunch of ladies who look ready to fight to get gossip about the great Liam Lee."Well, the CEO dropped me at the mall to buy something." She lied to them, because she didn't want to burst their bubble. "Why don't you ask Chief Secretary Ng instead?" She pointed at him, shifting the burden to the innocent Jawn Ng. "If someone knew the real score between them, it must b

"Remind me again why a CEO like you knows how to cook." Jacyn teased him as they prepared the ingredients together."I was sent to study abroad when I was fifteen. I went from being the young master of the Lee's to a nobody. There's no one around to fend for me. I have to take care of myself." He frowned at her. "I learned to cook for myself. Later on, I enjoyed cooking to the point where I got part time jobs in the kitchen. Just to, you know, improve my skills." He playfully winked at her. "That's why my cooking is top notch!"She laughed at him. Well, if she hadn't seen him last time cooking for their breakfast, she might think that he's only kidding. But she saw how he moved in the kitchen. She would admit that he really was skilled in this area.They busied themselves in the kitchen cooking for their dinner. They didn't stop until their table was already filled with many dishes. "Let's eat!" Jacyn looked excitedly at the sumptuous dinner, ready to dig in. "Hmmm… you really have s
The Forgotten CEO 43. The way to a man's heart
"Mr. Ng," Liam said after a minute of silence. "You take care of her." Jawn Ng understood his task and he got out of the car immediately. Liam transferred to the driver's seat and drove away.Jacyn was observing silently. She had no strength left to refute him. She let him do whatever he wanted to do. In the first place, he was the boss and she was his mere assistant. "Do you have something to say?" Liam asked her lazily, without looking at her. He just felt her burning stare at him. She just shook her head and looked away. She really couldn't understand him. What made him change his mind about the whole dining out? "Where are we going now?" She asked when she noticed that they were on a different route. She thought that they might go back to the Lee Corporation since it was still early."Home." He answered her, his eyes on the road. Jacyn was dumbfounded. The CEO was willing to waste time today and go back home early. Usually, he heads to the office early and goes back home so
The Forgotten CEO 42. Provoked.
Lady Yu'er glared secretly at Jacyn. She was obviously not happy that the latter had to tag along. But she had to act that it was okay as she flashed her sweetest smile.She put her hand on Liam's arm like she was telling the whole world that this man belongs to her. She confidently walked beside him. She believed that in this world, no one but only her, could match the powerful Liam Lee. Lady Yu'er is the only daughter of one of the richest men in the country. She was also successful in her own career. She was beautiful and had a model-like figure. Jacyn thought that Yu'er was funny. If only she had to choose, she wanted nothing from the two of them. She just wanted to take back the Lou Corporation. And she could only do that through the help of the great Liam Lee. That means she had to put up a smile as she followed him.When they reached the car, Liam opened the door and let Yu'er sit beside him. Jacyn occupied the seat beside the driver, Mr. Ng.Jacyn knitted her brows. Was the
