All Chapters of Mr. CEO! It's you and me against the world: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Lisa!" From his office, Mr. Harry Byers yelled.Lisa sighed deeply and made her way to his office."Sir?"Mr. Harry Byers raised his head from his computer and locked his gaze on Lisa."How did you know the new CEO?" He inquired."I... I.. I" Lisa stuttered."Did you know he'd be taking over after Mr. Desmond Kincaid?""Not at all, sir."Mr. Byers gave her a serious look and said, "You are not telling everything to me. Did he help you get this job?""No way!" Lisa stated irritably. The last thing she wanted was for people to think she was hired because she knew who Ricardo was, and it was at this point that she began to consider the negative things that people would say about her. She hadn't given it a second thought until now.She had worked hard to get here as a secretary in one of the city's biggest companies, and a night with Ricardo could ruin her image and possibly her career.Mr. Harry Byers scoffed, his eyes piercing hers, and said. "Can

"I've seen the girl, and she's a scumbag." A lady voice said outside the restroom door that Lisa was the following day."That's exactly what I thought when I saw her. How could a CEO be interested in a woman as unattractive as she is?" Another lady stated.Lisa, who had finished urinating, struggled to get to her feet and walked out of the room. She was embarrassed that people thought she got the job because of her p***y rather than her brain."I even heard she was standing by his side as he read his taking over speech," said the first woman."Really?" The second lady questioned."Yeah. And she isn't even ashamed of herself."Lisa stomped to her feet, drew her skirt down, and flung open the door, enraged. Her stubborn side had had enough of this nonsense and would no longer take crap from anyone.When she opened the door, the two women who had no idea someone was inside the room immediately became quiet.When they saw the woman who had just st

Lisa walked out of the company like she'd just won the lottery. Her face was flushed red, and she couldn't believe Ricardo had walked all the way down from his floor to hers just to kiss her.She smiled as she remembered him telling her to look at him as she waved down a taxi and bit her bottom lip."I suppose everything went well today." Summer teased as she noticed an obviously overjoyed Lisa who had just entered the house."Yeah." Lisa replied and smiled at her."Does it have anything to do with your Mr. Ceo?" Summer asked, suspiciously."Yeah," Lisa replied, slumping down on the couch. "Yes, it does.""What happened?" Summer asked, expressing her enthusiasm."Ahhhh." Lisa sighed and smiled at her friend, "You can't understand.""Then make me.""He came to my office and..." Lisa trailed off as the memory of that moment replayed in her mind."And?" Summer asked. "He kissed me." Lisa gushed."Did he?" Summer exclaimed unb

"Hello, Lisa, are you there?" Her mother's worried voice could be heard on the other end of the phone. "Lisa?"Lisa slowly picked up the phone, attempting to slow her racing heartbeat."Yes, mom. I'm here.""What are we going to do now?" Her mother questioned."I don't know." Lisa replied sorrowfully. "That's a lot of money. What are we going to do now?"Her mother wept. "Okay, baby, I'll get back to you later. Bye.""Mom, I'm sorry.""It's okay.""I will try and come tomorrow or next tomorrow." Lisa said."You don't have to. Your dad wants you to focus on your job. Bye baby.""Bye, mom." She replied and hung up the phone.She sighed heavily as she put the phone down and had no idea that she was crying until a drop of tears dropped on to her hand.She wiped her tears away, sat up on the bed and started thinking of what to do."Hey Lisa." Summer called, knocking on her door.Lisa raised her head an

Ricardo parked his car in the hospital parking lot three hours later and tilted his head in Lisa's direction."I'll be waiting for you here. Take your time.""I appreciate it." Lisa said as she stepped out of the car and shut the door. She began walking towards the hospital entrance but abruptly came to a halt, turned around, and waved at Ricardo, who was sitting inside the car, before continuing on her way.She paused for a few moments before opening the door to her father's hospital room, sighed heavily, and slowly opened the door.Her mother tilted her head in the direction of the door, thinking it was one of the nurses, but when she saw who was there, her mouth dropped open and she got out of the chair in shock."Lisa?" She called as she was motioning towards the young lady who was standing by the door. "Is that you, Lisa?"The woman sobbed as she tightly hugged her daughter.Lisa returned her hug."I didn't think you'd come.""Mom, I
