All Chapters of The CEO and a High-Schooler - Part two: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Isabella's pov;I returned to Mr Martinez's residence after three days of camp. When I entered the house, there was no one in the hall, so I hauled my travel bag up the stairs and walked to my room. I tossed the bag next to the bed and collapsed on it, tired.Someone knocked on the door so I invited them inside while laying on the bed."How was your trip Bella?" Rose inquired as she entered."Yes, that was enjoyable. We participated in scavenger hunts, treasure hunts, and other activities. Actually, I didn't want to come home after spending days with my pals having fun." And then laughed."I'm delighted you had a good time. Dirty clothes are in this bag, right? I'll take it to the laundromat." Said while picking up my travel bag."Could you please ask Kirk to make me a chocolate smoothie? I desperately need one right now.""OK," she answered with a smile. After taking out the accessories and creams, she dragged my luggage out of the room.After taking a hot shower, I went downstairs.

Isabella's pov;After two weeks,I yawned as I descended the stairs and looked around the house; there was no one in the living room, and the centre of the house was also empty.I went to the kitchen to eat, but Kirk was nowhere to be found. What day is it? Is it the weekend? Because no workers come to this house on weekends. I was about to leave the kitchen when I noticed a plate covered and stopped. I opened it to find a shrimp salad with ravioli pasta. Who cooked this beauty? I took the plate, walked out of the kitchen, and sat at the dining table, holding the plate. I started digging in because I was hungry. After taking a bite, I couldn't help but smile, knowing that Mr Martinez had prepared the food.Mr Martinez came in with a garden shovel while I was eating and said, "Sleeping princess is out of bed finally. How's the shrimp salad coming along?""Yummy. Best meal after a good sleep." With a yawn, I asked, pointing to the shovel, "Are you mowing the lawn? Wait a minute, I'll fi

Isabella's pov;I went out with Noah, Evelyn, Sophia, and Carey, four of my high school friends."How come you're not drinking anything?" Noah asked, looking at the glass in front of me."Did Liam mention anything about coming today?" Evelyn asked Sophia."He said he had some work to do, busy guy." Sophia said with a shake of her head."I thought so, too," Evelyn murmured. "It'll probably take a few days for him to take a break from his work.""I'm not sure why you guys let him go when he says he's busy but not when I say I'm busy," I explained."Because he's really busy and you're not," Noah explained as he sipped from his glass."Why do I feel like a third wheel when I hang out with you guys?" I inquired of Noah and Evelyn. "What made you date your friend?" I inquired of Carey. "How did you even end up with this girl?""Then bring Alexander next time so you don't feel like the third wheel," Sophia advised."Why are you mentioning Mr Martinez all of a sudden? Did you get jealous? Do y

Isabella's pov; When I awoke, I was in Mr Martinez's embrace. Why are we hugging? Did he kiss me goodnight last night? I let go of his hands and slowly rose from the bed. When I got out of bed, Mr Martinez rubbed his eyes and asked, "You woke up?""Did I startle you?""No, I got up by myself. How do you feel right now?" He motioned for me to approach him.I sat in front of him and tried to place his hand over my chest. He paused and came to a halt. "How's my heart?" I asked, smiling as he placed his hand on my chest."It's perfectly fine now," he said, holding my cheeks together, "and I told Mr Johnson to take care of your father, so don't worry about him.""What if he comes back?" I asked, touching his hand."Did you forget how I protected you by blocking him away from you last night?" he tapped his biceps."My knight in shining armour," I said as I patted his head while smiling at him. He kissed my cheek and stood up from the bed, saying, "OK. Get ready. It's time for your colleg

Isabella's pov;"Have you picked up any song to learn, Mr Martinez?" I asked Mr Martinez who was eating breakfast opposite to me on the dining table."Not yet. There's so many songs out there. Why is it so difficult to choose one among them?"I smiled at him and said, "There will be some songs under easy fingerpicking songs. Choose one among them and tell me the name of the song you like to learn. I'll teach you how to play it. And, I'll be late today since I got to do practice with others."He nodded and continued eating his breakfast. Big brother sat at the dining table and asked, "Why does the atmosphere seem so quiet today?"I gave a stare at him.He asked, "What? You fight with him almost every morning so it's weird when you're silent like this."I asked Mr Martinez, "Do I?" He shook his head and said with one of his eyes shrinking, "A little." Big brother asked, "Did you prepare for the quiz today?""Yes, I studied for a long time last night. Wait, how did you know that I hav
