All Chapters of Running Away from the Villainous CEO : Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Nang makalapit si Catherine ay kaswal na hinawakan ni James ang braso nito at marahang hinila palapit. Catherine easily letting him pull her close to him shows the closeness between them as lovers, and as husband as wife. It was only when she realized that James was letting her sit on his lap did she protest.“James!” protesta ni Catherine na pinamulahan ng pisngi dahil kasama nila sina Arturo at Matteo. Bukod doon ay nasa opisina pa niya sila. Oras na uli ng trabaho at may posibilidad na pumasok ang kanyang sekretarya para ikonsulta sa kanya. Nakakahiya kapag nakita sila nito when she was supposed to be working! Panakaw na humalik si James sa pisngi ni Catherine bago siya nito hinayaang kumawala. Catherine chose the armchair across James’ to sit in. Sinamaan din niya ng tingin si James, her eyes warning him to keep his hands to himself, at least until they’re alone again. Ngunit sa likod ng kanyang isip ay lihim siyang nasisiyahan sa ipinapakitang possessiveness nito sa harap nina

Matapos ang masinsinang usapan, kumain silang tatlo kasama si Cath sa isang malapit na restaurant kung saan nagpa-reserve si James ng para sana ay dinner date nilang mag-asawa. Konektado sila sa bawat isa hindi lang dahil sa klase ng ralasyon na mayroon sila sa isa’t isa kundi pati na rin sa kanilang mga shared interest at magkakaugnay layunin.Nagkasundo ang tatlo na hindi ipaalam kay Catherine ang kanilang napag-usapan.their dinner was peaceful. There was hardly any sign of the tension and the disagreement between the three men earlier. Masayang nagpaalam si Catherine kina Matteo at Arturo. Niyakap pa niya ito at binilinang mag-ingat. James was beside her all that time, making his presence known in case Matteo makes a move on his wife. James wouldn’t put it past the guy to do just that. Kahit nga kaharap pa siya ay tinagalan pa rin nito ng ilang segundo ang pagyakap kay Catherine. Nang-aasar pa ang mga mata nito nang sumulyap sa kanya.Tumawa pa ito nang makitang nagdidilim na ang

“ACD Company refused to sign another cooperation with our company again…”“BE Corps chose AVN over RanCorp in the RAiOn AI development project…” “Cruz&Vega Holdings have canceled their contract with us. They’re willing to pay for compensation and damages incurred with their sudden cancellation…”Tahimik na nakikinig si Garreth sa report ng mga subordinate niya tungkol sa sunod-sunod na cancellation ng ilan sa kanilang mga business partners. He would’ve treated it as normal if not for the succession of the same reports he’d received since the morning of that day. “Boss…,” HIndi maitago ng kanyang sekretarya ang pag-aalala. Ilang araw na silang nakakatanggap ng report tungkol sa iba’t ibang problema dahil sa supplier o sa business partner o sa ialng mga empleyado. Medyo mataas na ang level ng tensyon dahil ilang araw nang inaasikaso ni Garreth at ng kanyang mga subordinate ang mga solusyon sa mga problemang ito. Subalit kada isang suliranin na kanilang nalulutas ay may sumusulpot ulit

After a long time that they haven’t seen each other, Ellaine and Georgia had so much to tell one another. Georgia’s stories was mostly complaints about the difficulties she had in expanding her business. Although she was successful, the process to get there was not easy. Too many factors had made it difficult– her being a foreigner, her lack of powerful background, her inexperience, her youth, her gender. Pero mostly, some people just make it difficult for her and uses a variety of reasons as their excuse.“Their small minds just couldn’t fathom how you could be dropdead gorgeous and capable at the same time– basically an all-in-one package. They think that a woman who’s hot and beautiful would have an empty brain, while an intelligent one would look like some strict, conservative and mousy, unattractive lady. They didn’t believe that you could castrate them and feed them their b*lls without getting a single one of your perfectly-manicured nails getting chipped in the process.”Napasu

Hindi pinatulog si Ellaine ng kanyang pagkabagabag na may kinalaman kay Catherine. Georgia’s already resting in her room, the exhaustion from her flight finally overcoming her. Hindi maiwasan ni Ellaine na ma-miss ang mga bata. Sandali lang niyang nakausap ang mga ito sa telepono kanina. Base sa excitement sa tinig ng mga ito, mukhang nag-e-enjoy ang mga ito sa kanilang sleepover. Dahil wala sila, walang magamit na distraction si Ellaine para hindi siya malunod sa kakaisip. Naguguluhan siya. She’d done a lot of things, made a lot of decisions, taken different paths just so her fate as a cannon fodder character would change. In her previous life, matibay ang paniniwala niya na hawak ng tao sa kanyang kamay ang kanyang kapalaran. Naniniwala pa rin siya doon pero inaamin niyang nabahiran na iyon ng pagdududa. The knowledge that she transmigrated in a romance novel she had read in her previous life before she died, with a new identity– a negligible character who only exists for the pur
