All Chapters of Tempted by the CEO: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Lana~“So…” Ellie dragged out, the sound of her fork dropping to the plate clicked hard. “Sasha said you have some news for us, so?” I pretended to not know what she’s talking about, dead on pretending to be unaware.“Please, Mine can wait but yours! Yours is more juicer. What happened to the story?” Ellie asked and Sasha snorts. I threw her a dirty look and she rolled her eyes.“So? What happened to the plot? You both were sucking each other’s face.” Ellie wiggles her eyebrows suggestively.“Well, turns out we both had a miscommunication. He likes me and we’re going on a date.” I say and Sasha squealed hard while Ellie groaned.I covered my ears, shooting a glare at her. “What? I’m allowed to squeal seeing as I won a hundred bucks.” Sasha says smugly, now sitting down. “Uh? How did you win? From what?” I asked, confused and Sasha groaned.“Ellie here was confident that your trip to Greece would do nothing to bring out your very obvious crush on him.” She deadpanned. I gaped at them

Lana~The pile of papers hit the table loudly. A satisfied grin laid at the corner of my lips. "You good back there?” Natalie’s voice boomed through the store room. “Yeah, got what I needed and will be out of your hair.” I yelled back, leaning down to pick the papers. I walked out of the store, coughing slightly at the amount of dust in the store room.Sasha owes me a lot for helping her get this down here. I clutch the papers against my chest as I climbed the stairs up. “It’s a mess down there and we haven’t gotten the time to clear it up. I’m sorry you got choked.” Natalie says apologetically, tucking her hand into the pockets of her green suit.“Eh, it’s fine but you guys should really find a way to clean back there. I’m not sure Mr Carlsen would like to see that.” I say, quirking an eyebrow up so she could see how serious I am being.Natalie grimaced, probably imagining of Aaron’s reaction when he sees the huge mess down there. “Yeah, we will get it sorted out. Thanks for stoppi

Lana~“Where is my son?” Her sharp gaze accessing me. I gulped the pile in my throat, taking a step back to allow her into the house. She removed the shades sitting on her nose, a look of irritation flashed through her features.“He is in his room and is sick.” I replied, she quirked an eyebrow up, looking at me from head to tail.“Why are you dressed like a tramp on sale? Is this how you manage the company with Aaron? Are you trying to seduce him?” She asks. Let me introduce you to Melanie Carlsen. Eugene Carlsen’s second wife and Aarons stepmother, she’s not a fan of me and it’s nothing new. To be honest I still can’t pinpoint what exactly it is I did to make her dislike me and frankly I couldn’t care. Melanie is someone like my mother, well, they sure almost the same personality. Averagely tall, plump with a lot of cosmetic surgeries, extremely pale skin.“Excuse me ma’am but I don’t think my dressing is in anyway your business. Your son is sick, you’d hold probably be after that.

Lana~"What are you guys doing here?” I ask as I got down from the car. Ellie and Sasha turn to look at me, eyes widening upon seeing me well and alive."So you weren’t in there dead?” Sasha deadpans, warning her a slap on her arm. “Don’t be ridiculous. I told you she’s okay and you could stop panicking.” Ellie sneers, taking a step towards me.“We didn’t hear from you all through yesterday, Sasha had a bad date and decided to crash at yours but you weren’t home. She came to mine and suddenly had a premonition about you being locked up or something. Anyways, she made me drive here so early searching for you.”“It was a dream.” Sasha chirps in. “And we wouldn’t have gone through all of that stress if your phone wasn’t turned off. Seriously, where are you coming from.” Sasha asked.I sighed exasperatedly, knowing I brought this upon myself. I was so worried about Aaron that I forgot to inform them I would be going with him. Must have been surprising for them to not heart anything from

Lana~“So you’re telling me she did that?” Ellie asks and I hum, taking another slice of ham to eat.“I really don’t understand why Mr Carlsen had to marry her, I mean, she’s always so mean, arrogant and believes she’s better than everyone.” “Maybe because she is, did you see her bag? It can buy me and my family.” Sasha counters as Ellie gasps incredulously. “You’re just too much, how much is a Birkin bag?” Ellie asks, I shrug but Sasha takes out her phone to Google it. “Eighteen thousand!” She gasps, shoving her phone at Ellie who squinted to read the letters. “Bitch, you better be joking. She spends this much on a freaking bag." Ellie grabs the phone, taking a closer look at the amount.“Dude, they’re rich, rich.” She says after some seconds, passing the phone back to Sasha who hums in agreement.“Can she adopt me? I promise I’ll behave.” “Eew, have some dignity, Sasha.” I hit her on the head. Ellie cackles while Sasha grumble about being mistreated."She’s like Ursula from that
