The Forgotten CEO 40. Kind and Gentle
"Oh no!" Jacyn exclaimed as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. There were black circles around her eyes. She couldn't sleep when she got back to her room last night. She already counted a hundred sheeps but she remained awake. Now she looked like someone had punched her. She quickly moisturized her face after she had taken a bath. Hopefully, it would help to clear her eye bags.She looked at her watch and saw that it was fifteen minutes after six. She should get down to see if her boss was already awake. She had to be in the office at eight and she wouldn't dare to be late again. She could smell the food that was being prepared in the kitchen. She could tell someone was frying bacon. She followed the smell and what she saw gave her the shock of her life. It was none other Young Master Lee. He was cooking breakfast. He was in a white shirt as he cooked bacon and eggs. Why would he do that? Where were the househelps?"What were you looking at?" He said, without turning back. D
The Forgotten CEO 41. Was she jealous?
It's been a week since she started working for Liam Lee. She became Liam's shadow, accompanying him everywhere he goes. She already had a slight idea on how he managed the top tier company.They had been living harmoniously with each other, especially that Liam had wavered a little."Miss, can you please tell me where I can see the President?" Jacyn heard the confident and coquettish voice of a woman. She just went downstairs to buy herself her daily dose of caffeine. She turned around to see a girl wearing a red crop top with skinny jeans, and high heels."I am sorry, Ma'am, but do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked the woman. She was wearing branded clothes from head to toe, and she seemed to be a socialite. She shook her head and said, "Will you call him to inform that I am here?" She sweetly ordered the receptionist who couldn't say no to such a request.Jacyn scoffed as she had received a different treatment from the same receptionist. Did she look like an ordinary
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

"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 44. Because you are my fiancèe.
"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

"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
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 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

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
