A Night with The Crazy CEO의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

Chapter Twenty-Two•BRIANNA•I woke up to the harsh heat of the sun, its rays seeping through the curtains and hitting my face. I squeezed my eyes shut, pulling the duvet over my head to shield myself from the bright, unforgiving light. Just as I was about to drift back into sleep, a voice cut through my grogginess.“Miss, you need to wake up now. It’s past 11 a.m. already.”The voice wasn’t my mom’s or my sister’s, and since when did anyone start calling me “miss”?“Five more minutes, please,” I moaned, barely able to keep my eyes open. I heard a soft chuckle in response.“As much as I’d love to let you sleep, you were up really late last night, and the boss ordered me to wake you up.” The voice paused. “I’m sorry to disturb you.”Before I could protest, the duvet was yanked off me, exposing me to the cold air of the room. I flinched and blinked at the middle-aged woman standing beside my bed, her face smiling warmly at me.“Well, somebody finally decided to wake up,” she said with a

Chapter Twenty-four•ADRIAN•There’s never a dull moment with Brianna. It’s strange; we don’t really get along, but our constant arguments are actually fun. Maybe it’s the way she flares up at every little thing, or just the look of frustration on her face when I push her buttons. Either way, I can’t seem to stop myself.Since I wasn’t going to work today, I thought I’d pay Manuel a surprise visit at his office. It took about an hour to get there, and as I parked in the lot, I could already picture the look on his face when he saw me walk in unannounced. Manuel wasn’t exactly a fan of surprises—especially during office hours—but that only made it more entertaining for me. I strolled into the building, nodding at the familiar greetings from his employees.“Good morning, Sir.” “Long time, Sir!” “It’s good to see you again, Sir.”I responded with a brief nod at each greeting until I got to the elevator. I pressed the button for Manuel’s floor and waited, feeling a little impatient for the

Chapter Twenty-six•MANUEL•I walked the beauty goddess over to where Adrian had parked the car earlier, and she instantly started gawking at it. Her wide-eyed expression made it look like she had just seen the most beautiful thing on earth.“Is this your car?” she asked, her voice thick with disbelief.“No, it’s for my friend,” I replied, keeping it casual.“Wow, it looks so beautiful. That friend of yours must be super rich,” she said, still mesmerized.“Wait until you see mine,” I boasted. “You’ll faint the moment you set eyes on it.”She hissed in disbelief. “Whatever, fool. Open this damn car, and let’s go get my new phone. I have work in a bit, and I don’t have time for this.”Is this the same girl who was just admiring the car like a starstruck fan? Mood swings, much?We got into Adrian’s car, and I started the engine. I was just going to take her to the phone store and be done with it. The silence between us was unbearable, so I decided to break it.“So… you haven’t told me you

Chapter Twenty-eight •BRIANNA• I woke up from a three-hour nap feeling surprisingly great. I stretched, releasing a loud yawn, but immediately caught a bad smell. I glanced around to figure out where it was coming from, only to realize it was my breath—yikes! I hadn’t brushed my teeth since this morning, and I ate without brushing. I hadn’t even taken a bath yet. Damn, I felt so dirty today. I should probably get cleaned up right away. I got up and headed to the bathroom, brushing my teeth and taking a much-needed bath. I also washed my hair since it had been quite a while. After freshening up, I blow-dried my hair with my old hair dryer and threw on a top and jean shorts before heading downstairs. Mom was sitting on the couch, absorbed in an outdated magazine. “Hey, Mom, finding anything interesting in that magazine?” I teased as I sat next to her. She glanced up. “Oh please, Brianna. You know I’ve gone through this magazine a thousand times. There’s nothing new in it,” she murmu

Chapter Thirty |AC ORGANIZATIONS| |BRIANNA’S OFFICE| •BRIANNA• I was in my office, busy replying to some important emails that needed to be addressed on behalf of Mr. Adrian, when the intercom buzzed. I already knew who was calling before I even picked it up. I answered the call and placed the receiver to my ear. “Good day, boss,” I greeted coldly. Since that incident outside my house, when Mr. Adrian and I argued, I had been avoiding him. I only spoke to him when absolutely necessary, and only about work. “Come to my office now,” he ordered rudely, not even acknowledging my greeting before hanging up. I rolled my eyes at his usual lack of manners, but it wasn’t like I was surprised. That’s just how he was. I closed my laptop and stood up. Walking out of my office, I made my way to his. I knocked once and entered without waiting for permission. I walked over to his desk, and he glanced up at me. His intense stare made me squirm a little, but I managed to look indifferent. “You
