All Chapters of THE CEO'S PET: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Amber had previously personally sent the set launching date to Dave Lin, but he declined the offer of being present with the excuse that he had so much to do, and it would be really inconvenient for him to come down to Chicago. She even gave him the option of rescheduling the event, but he was against it, claiming that this was the perfect time to launch the collection and his presence wouldn’t determine the public’s acceptability. She made sure to finish the project and finalize everything needed before she went to Paris for the art exhibition and Tom was fully in charge of the launching, since he hates ugly turnouts of events, he personally decided to coordinate it. He made sure to check all the clothes before the launching day and rechecked even a day to the event to prevent any issues before giving a go ahead for the event to hold. He was surprised when Amber informed her that Dave Lin was now in Chicago two days before the event, without informing them of that. The information w

Tom knew it was a set-up. Immediately, he saw Joseph cut in when Dave was talking, although he was not sure if Dave was part of the plan, but one thing was sure, Joseph had a hand in this mess he had found himself. The crazy aspect was that there is no way to prove it was ruined by someone and provide evidence. He was going crazy at every tick of the clock. “I think you should calm down, Mr. Dave Lin and let’s cool down to solve this”, he pleaded, but Dave would not have it. He was scarily furious, and his French accent took over. The more he was pleaded to, the more he was getting angrier and seeing this, Tom concluded that it would be best to reschedule a meeting instead of wasting all day pleading with him and calm him down on camera. He succeeded in calming him down at some point and told him, “Mr. Dave Lin, I promise you that we will sort this out, so let’s have a talk tomorrow instead of fighting like this”, making him cool down a bit. “Even if we have a meeting tomorrow, do no

FEW DAYS EARLIER Immediately, the employee, Joseph’s secretary, came to threaten to leave his presence. She thought about the offer, and it was honestly tempting, but thinking about how Amber pleaded with her before leaving to make sure everything went well, gave her some money and had always been a good colleague to her, she decided to forfeit the money she was promised and called Amber to inform her of what was going. “I can’t believe he’s going this far to ruin his hard work”, Amber, who couldn’t believe what she had just heard, remarked in shock. She was grateful that the employee considered telling her instead of just going ahead to do what she was told to do. She went silent for some minutes, trying to think of a plan, but couldn’t find one. “Send a picture of the clothes to me, I want to confirm something” she asked, and a few minutes later, it dropped on her phone. She had suspicions about the fabric being fake when she first got the clothes but wanted to confirm it once ag

Charles and Joseph met up at their usual joint where Joseph was downing alcohol uncontrollably. He was furious about the mess that backfired on him. He didn’t have the slightest doubt that his plan would fall through. He was confident. “You should take it easy, you can always strategize again and shoot another shot. You will get sick if you down alcohol like that”, Charles warned, but he only responded with silence. “This is why I say you are pathetic sometimes, you let your emotion get the best of you. You should remain cool-headed all the time”, Charles lashed at him and removed the alcohol bottle from his front. “Then what am I supposed to do? Laugh like a crazy being? Cry? Or whine? I can only take the anger out on the alcohol, so return my bottle!” he roared at Charles, who wasn’t even moved a bit. “If you get drunk this night, you will wake up with a blissful head-splitting headache tomorrow and the loss will still be there to stick its tongue right at you, in the face. Instead

Eddy had always tried to talk to Emily after the incident with Amber, but for some reason he didn’t know, she was avoiding him. She rarely picks up his calls and even when she does, and he asks to meet up, she will come up with an excuse that she’s busy or has classes to attend. He hated how he was hanging between them because Emily had always been loud about how she couldn’t wait for him to break up with Amber, so she could have him for herself. Now that her wish had been granted, she didn’t want to talk to him anymore and that was provoking him already. He finally got the news that she was staying with Jessica and decided to go there to look for her. Thankfully, he met her on her way out, but she tried to avoid him. He rushed after her and yelled “Why are you avoiding me, Emily?” grabbing her, but she just shook his hand away. “What do you mean by avoiding you? I never did such a thing”, she replied, but he scoffed at her obvious lie. “If you are not avoiding me, then why did you
