All Chapters of The CEO's Serious Pursuit: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Audre forced herself to calm down, then tried to open the door and screamed for help a few more times, but there was no point. No one could hear her unless they passed by the shed. No one knew where she was. She reached for her phone but realized it wasn't in her pocket. Of all times, this was the time she forgot to bring her phone? Kim knows where she was going, Audre thought. Maybe she will realize something was wrong and look for her. But no one came to her rescue. She had lost track of time. It felt like she had been in there for hours. After a while, she started to panic again. The shed didn't have any window, so she had no idea whether it was dark outside. There was a small lightbulb hanging from the ceiling that was barely bright enough to light the room. It was quiet, and it was scary. Audre crouched down in a corner. She broke into a cold sweat and started to shiver. Was this a punishment for something she did? But she had done nothing wrong!

"Audre! Wake up!" Someone shook Audre awake. She groaned in frustration as she was having an amazing dream. And now it was ruined by the rude awakening. "Ugh...what?" she said when she opened her eyes. "You gotta get up. Aleks is leaving." Audre's eyes snapped open, and she saw Kim's concerned face. "What are you talking about?" Audre asked. "He got in trouble for beating up Ronnie, so Elliot is kicking him out of the camp," Kim said. No. This can't be happening, Audre thought. Aleks works so hard on this camp and now he is being kicked out because of her! She felt terrible. "I need to go see him," she said. She quickly got up and got ready. Aleks was in his cabin, packing his bags. He had a dark shadow looming over her face. "Aleks." Audre's voice was barely audible. She felt like crying. Aleks looked up and for a brief moment, his eyes lit up. "Hey cutie, you're up early."

Audre was lying on her bed. Aleks was already gone and she tried not to break down and cry. Things weren't the same since Aleks left. Blair didn't bother her anymore, which was good, but she missed Aleks constantly teasing her and getting on her nerves. During her break, she sat outside by the river, sulking. She frowned as she saw Mitch approaching. Oh great...she thought. He was one of Blair's thugs who was most likely coming to harass her some more. "Hey Audre," Mitch said. He smiled awkwardly. "What?" Audre barked. She had no desire to listen to his bullshit. Whatever that was. "I came here to apologize," Mitch said. "Yeah, right. I'm not falling for your tricks," Audre said. "This isn't a trick. I really am sorry. I tried to tell Elliot that it wasn't Aleks's fault and Ronnie and all of us are the real jerks, but he said it was too late to bring him back. I don't know why Elliot is being so stubborn," Mitch shook his head

Ansel waited until Aleks left, then called Elliot. Ansel didn't like that guy one bit, so he hoped this was the last time he has to have a conversation with him. After Elliot picked up the phone, Ansel instructed him to meet him in his office. He had some important matter to discuss with him, Elliot agreed to meet him right away, so Ansel waited for him impatiently. After an hour had passed, Elliot finally showed up. "You wanted to see me again, Mr. Adams?" Elliot asked. "Yes. I want you to give Aleksander his job back," Ansel said. Elliot looked at him with surprise. "But..." "No buts. I will make you an offer in exchange," Ansel said. Elliot looked interested. Ansel knew once he made the offer, Elliot wouldn't be able to resist it. "What kind of offer?" Elliot asked. "I am willing to sponsor your camp and donate two million dollars for you to build a better camp," Ansel announced. Elliot's eyes turned wide. There was

"Audre, don't. I told you I was only joking." Aleks grabbed her hand and chuckled before she took his shirt off completely. Audre breathed slowly as she looked at his naked chest. He may be playing around but seeing him like this turned her on. "But I'm not joking," she whispered and trailed her fingernail across his chest. "Audre I..." Aleks stopped talking and moaned instead as she pressed her lips on his chest. She smiled as she felt him shudder. So she wasn't the only one sensitive to touches. She unbuttoned his shirt and took it off entirely. Aleks tangled his fingers through her hair as she covered his chest with small featherlike kisses. "This isn't going to end well," he growled. "You talk too much." Audre trailed her lips from his chest to his neck then stopped when they met his lips. Aleks's grip on her hair tightened. He slipped his tongue inside her mouth and kissed her harder while slowly backing her against the bed. She f
