All Chapters of The CEO's Secret Arrangement: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Let's go, Chloe!" Evan said coldly, grabbing her hand."Are you defending her? How long have you been together?" Jill was incredulous."It's not your business!" he said and walked away, leaving an angry Jill behind.He was so pissed at that moment. Who Jill thought she was to try to slap Chloe?And there was Victor, that sarcastic idiot. Evan would take him down on business once and for all. When they reached the parking lot, Evan realized he was still pulling Chloe's hand."Are you ok?" he asked cautiously.Chloe nodded in affirmation while she was trying to hold the laughter, what made him confused. "What's the matter?""Nothing… You look sexy when you're angry." She said shameless.Evan narrowed his eyes and murmured:"You're drunk. I should have known it." After a pause, he completed: "Let's go! I'll take you home.""No, I can't leave Brianna here!" she complained."Yes, you can and you will. I'll call Tyler and he'll take care of her. No more excuses, Chloe. Get in the car." H

Chloe was indecisive and she could not answer Evan's question last night. She remembered all the situations experienced by them so far and she couldn't decide at that moment if she was ready to marry someone by convenience. Evan was in his office but unlike other mornings, he was unable to pay attention to the contracts in front of him. His mind was far away, thinking about Chloe wearing that red dress and teasing him with that smart mouth. Could he be able to keep himself away from her? Evan didn't answer that question because he didn't know it for sure. The more time went by, the more attracted to that girl he was. Could that mean something else besides physical attraction? Chloe was between the cross and the sword. At one side, her family's needs and the expectation of a relationship with that hot Mr. Bailey. On the other side, the fear of getting hurt and losing the chance to find her soul mate to share her life.She couldn't keep that situation forever. All of her energies wer

The waiter arrived with their dishes, which broke that awkward moment. Chloe returned to her initial position while Evan emptied his glass of wine in just one sip.Chloe lost her appetite and Evan asked casually, as if it was nothing wrong:"You won't eat? I thought you'd liked Japanese food.""Yes, I like it…" she answered looking at her plate.Chloe forced herself to eat a little, once she didn't want to give further explanations. She was feeling uncomfortable but she tried to keep a casual conversation with Evan. His answers were short and he was looking to Jill's table once and a while, which made Chloe pissed off. When Chloe thought it couldn't get any weirder, she heard a well-known female voice."Good afternoon!""What are you doing here, Jill?" Evan asked dryly, with his jaw clenched.Chloe was in shock but she didn't let anyone notice how affected she was. She was just staring at Jill with cold eyes. "I need to talk to you." Jill stated, clearly ignoring Chloe's presence."

Evan could not believe what Chloe just said. She saw that unfortunate kiss between him and Jill. How was he supposed to explain that? Jill tried to play a victim and asked for a second chance, which sounded insane to Evan. When he was about to leave, she grabbed him by the neck and kissed him. Evan took seconds to understand the situation and when he did it, he pushed her away immediately. When Evan came back to the table, he didn't find Chloe there and that made his heart miss a beat. Was she in danger? Victor was around so everything was possible. He searched for her everywhere and after long minutes, he decided to go back to his office. Evan was so mad that the possibility of Chloe watching that scene didn't cross his mind. He realized he got out of control just because he thought Chloe could have given up on that agreement; which meant she could have given up on him too. Why did that bothered him so much?"That wasn't planned, Chloe. I didn't know they would be there. Jill sai

"Evan?" Ryan was clearly confused. "What are you doing here?""You didn't answer my question." Evan replied to Ryan but his eyes were staring at Chloe, who was petrified. She would not dare to glance at Mr. Bailey. Chloe was sure that anger was directed at her."Who do you think you are to disrupt my date like this, Evan?" Ryan got up angrily."Date?" Evan could not believe that. He looked at Ryan then at Chloe. "Are you on a date?" he pronounced the last word faintly."Do you also take care of your PA's private life? It crosses the line!" Ryan stated sarcastically. Evan turned his glance at Ryan while clenching his fists. He was clearly trying to control himself."Do you want to know who else is crossing the line here? You! Having a date with my fiancée!" Evan said dryly.That statement shocked both Ryan and Chloe. She quickly looked at Evan, with her mouth half-open.Ryan was staring from one to another, trying to figure that out. "Is that true, Chloe?"Both men looked at her and s
