All Chapters of Mr. CEO's Executive Secretary: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

One night, when Belle got home, exhausted from work, she went straight to bed without changing her clothes. She wasn’t even able to wash her face.She doesn’t know how long she has slept when her phone started ringing nonstop. She glanced at the clock on her side table, it was only one in the morning.“Hello?” she answered lazily.“Are you sleeping already?” Nathalie asked, sounding hurried and worried at the same time. When Belle didn’t answer immediately, she cut her off. “Check the internet.”As she noticed a hint of panic in her friend’s voice, she quickly grabbed her laptop and opened the main news website in Bree. Her eyes widened in shock.Right on the site’s front page, the headline was written in bold letters, ‘FORMER EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF DE CLARION EMPIRE, OWNER OF SWEET SUE CYBERSECURITY, POISONED BILLIONAIRE FREDERICK DE CLARION.’Belle suddenly felt cold all over her body. Her hands started shaking uncontrollably. Biting her lower lip, the first thing that came to her m

While waiting for the food to be served, Esme started talking to Joyce about Belle. She was intrigued by the scene they saw earlier and she wanted to know what exactly was going on.“I saw you come out of her company earlier with Tristan. What happened?” she pried.Joyce’s expression suddenly changed. She was calm before Belle’s name was mentioned. Now she looked like she was ready to murder anyone.“That bitch!” she seethed. “I don’t know what to do so she would stop bothering Tristan! She just can’t stop herself from chasing him!”Vernice and Esme exchanged glances. ‘I think we got the right person,’ she thought to herself. “She really is a bitch and she’s hard to get rid of. We have already tried several times,” Vernice informed her.“Why were you unsuccessful?” Joyce asked curiously.“It’s because of Tristan, of course! It’s because he would always protect Belle,” Esme answered immediately. She smiled to herself when she noticed the creases on Joyce’s forehead deepening. ‘I think

“Belle, can you go out with me tonight? Dinner?” Eric asked smiling. He decided to visit Belle as he hadn’t seen her for quite some time.Eric is fond of her, he likes her. However, Tristan is like a brother to him. Though he wants to make a move on the woman, he can’t do it because of his friend.“Sure, where are we eating?” Belle asked, not taking her eyes off of her monitor. She’s rushing an important presentation, as she has a big shot client visiting her office the next day.“Royal,” the man who was busy playing with the pendulum on the table answered.“Give me five,” then she quickly stood up and went straight to the restroom. “Let’s go!”As soon as she stepped out, she just grabbed her bag and headed for the door. They rode in Eric’s car and he would drop her off after eating. She needs to go back to finish her work.When they arrived at the Royal Palace, a waiter quickly led them to a table for two. Before they can place their order, someone called Eric.“Hey, Tristan! Kismet?

“Can I take you to your office?” Tristan asked.Belle looked behind her shoulder and saw Tristan approaching her. He stood right next to her, both of them looking at the pond.“I can’t believe it was you who saved me,” both of them chuckled. “And it was you who I was arranged to be married with,” he added, glancing at the woman beside her.“Me too,” Belle answered. She too glanced at Tristan, who was now looking at the pond again.“Belle…”“Hmm?”“I’d like to ask you a really huge favor,” he started.“What is it?”Tristan let out a long sigh, “I know this is too much to ask. But, can you please not file a case against Joyce for what she did to you at the restaurant?”If Belle was to decide, she would want to file a case, especially now that she found out that Joyce faked being Tristan’s savior. She hates her and Vernice, for stealing from her.However, just by thinking about it, she already feels exhausted. Whenever she recalls what happened at the restaurant, she suddenly wants to go

Lydia could only recall the drowning incident, as that was all she knew. Belle was a case of mistaken identity. She is not the real daughter of the Roberts.Before Belle was rescued, Lydia and Raymond’s real daughter fell into the sea. It’s been a week. She fell from their fishing boat and wasn’t immediately found, even with the help of the Coast Guard.A week later, Raymond saw a little girl floating near Bree Port. It was Belle. He immediately took her to the hospital before letting his wife know about it.When Lydia got to the hospital, she started crying over Belle, calling her Lottie, their lost daughter. For Raymond, Lottie was already dead, but it wasn’t the same case for his wife.As she was not in a good mental state due to their daughter’s incident, she mistook Belle for her. A woman then approached them, asking what had happened.Lydia told the woman that they had finally found their daughter. She was saved from drowning after a week. The woman who approached the couple was
