All Chapters of The CEO's Hidden Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

It was around 11 am and Athena was engrossed in typing away some important emails which Kevin had instructed her to send. She finished the last email and withdrew her hands from the computer while stretching her arms. She let out a yawn and shook her head to get rid of the sleepiness. Sending emails was quite boring, the thought while grabbing her phone from the desk. She glanced at the office door in front of her desk and heaved a sigh. That was Roman's office. A few days ago she was shifted here in front of Roman's office from her previous cabin. Well, Kevin informed her that she was now Roman's full-time assistant beside him. She didn't like the idea much but she didn't have any choice left. After the dinner party in Morin's house was over, they returned to their penthouse. Both Roman and Athena avoided each other's presence deliberately, especially Athena. She mostly stayed in her room or on the balcony when they were inside the house and inside her cabin when they were in he

Among the heavy pouring rain, Athena ran aimlessly on the street while desperately looking for a place to stay till the rain stopped. She had long removed her high heels which made it difficult to run. After running for a while she found a bus stop nearby and quickly went there. It was empty. It's not like it was too late. It was probably around 8 pm but this area seemed too empty due to rain except for some vehicles passing by. Athena put her shoes aside after taking a seat on the bench placed at the bus stop. She then pulled her hair open and tried to get rid of the excess water. She also tried to get rid of the water by squeezing her clothes. Her whole body was shivering due to the cold. She caught a cold easily if she was drenched in rain. That's one of the main reasons why she avoided getting drenched in the rain even if she loved it. Athena wrapped her arms around herself while waiting for the rain to stop. Then she could go nearby to get help or hire a taxi. Her teeth started

Athena was getting ready to go to work when her phone dinged indicating she had received a text. She put away the lipstick before grabbing her phone. She checked the message. It was from Kevin, Roman's assistant. Dear Ms Carson, Mr Morin has given you four days of leave starting today. You don't need to come to work today. You can join the office from next Monday. Have a good day! Kevin Garnett. Athena stared at the text and blinked a few times. She couldn't believe her eyes. It was Tuesday. Roman had given her almost one week's leave which meant she could attend Ivan's wedding with others. It made her happy. She grinned after closing her phone and throwing it away on her bed. Their flight was the next day and Athena hadn’t packed anything yet so she hurriedly went to pack after getting rid of her office attire. __________________ _______________ The next morning when Athena opened her eyes, she realised she was already late. Her flight was at 9.30 and it was already 8 am. S

Early in the morning, Athena ran past the people who were also hurriedly making their way inside the tall building of Morin Corporation. She held her handbag in one hand and held out her ID card with another before putting it forward in front of the scanner. Thankfully she was able to check in five minutes before 9. She had five minutes to show her face in front of Roman, so without paying heed to anything else she rushed toward the elevator. "Good morning Athena, why are you so in such a hurry?" Rhea, the receptionist greeted Athena sweetly before frowning and asking the last question. "Good morning, Rhea. I'm late." Athena yelled back without stopping, making Rhea chuckle. Just as the elevator door was closing Athena sped up and stopped it in time. There were around 6 people inside, Athena got inside with an awkward smile and pressed the 27th-floor button where Roman's and her office were. She heaved a sigh of relief and waited for the elevator to reach the 27th floor as soon as po

Early in the morning, the pale blue sky is floating with white clouds, the breeze blowing the leaves beside the road, and the birds leaping back and forth on the tree while chirping. Athena glanced at the unknown birds through the car's window and smiled which didn’t reach her eyes. She watched the empty streets while resting her head on the car window. It was around 6.30 am so there weren’t many people around the street yet. A few shops were opening while the rest were still closed. "Stop the car here," Athena ordered Drew who was driving the car silently. After a few seconds, the car stopped in front of a flower shop. "Drew, wait a few minutes here, I will be back," she spoke in a soft voice which was quite different from her usual cheerful voice. "Yes madam." Drew acknowledged her words with a smile. Athena nodded and got out of the car after grabbing her purse. She walked directly into the flower shop. "Good morning, ma'am? Which flower would you like to buy?" A young woman
