Lahat ng Kabanata ng CEO's SECOND CHANCE: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Kelvin's P.O.V We were in the elevator together again, but this time, when the elevator stopped, we headed to her office together. Since we would be working closely, I found out that I would have to share her office. Internally, I groaned at the thought of spending two months with her as if seeing her face once a week wasn't enough. I was definitely going to get in trouble with her. I regretted agreeing to help her. I wished I could take back my statement, but it was too late. She had already informed every board member of my decision, and now I was stuck working with her for at least the next two months. She entered her office, and I followed suit. "This is my office; I'm sure you're already familiar with it," she gave me a look as she dropped her purse on her desk. There was no need for her to remind me of that moment. It was embarrassing to think back to the time when I was considered a creep. "And that is your desk space," She pointed to an office seat identical to hers, not

Anika’s P.O.V I continued eating as Kelvin abruptly stood up and ran outside to goodness knows where. I didn't care where he was going; it wasn't my concern. I felt a sense of relief when he left the table. I had been on edge around him since yesterday when he saw me in my vulnerable state if it wasn't intentional. I had been overwhelmed by everything happening in my life lately, and that was why I switched up to that state. I needed to calm myself down and make sure no one else knew about that problem. I didn't want anyone, not even my mom, to know that I was struggling. It was embarrassing that the person who witnessed it was someone I disliked but I had to get over it and pretend such an event never happened. I knew I needed help, but I couldn't bring myself to seek it, not when I was busy with the demands of my dad's company and trying to fix the issue at hand. I could only hope that Anderson would keep what he saw a secret. My phone suddenly rang, interrupting my thoughts. I

Anika’s P.O.V The day of the gathering had finally arrived and I couldn't tear my eyes away from the mirror. I wanted to make sure I was pretty for the ceremony that would be happening soon. I was already in my dress and I knew I looked good, but I couldn't help feeling nervous about everything. I didn't know who Fred was, all I knew was that he would be at the gathering and it was stressing me out. I needed everything to be perfect. Luckily, I had brought Anderson along to do the searching and everything for me. I didn't have to worry about embarrassing myself in front of Fred if we even found him. I was interrupted from my thoughts by a knock on my bedroom door. "Come in," I said, and my mother entered. "So... a man is waiting for you downstairs," she informed me. "Oh, it must be Anderson. Please tell him I'm almost ready and I'll join him soon," I replied, still staring at myself in the mirror. "Alright," she said to me but she wasn't making any effort to leave, she kept stari

Kelvin’s P.O.V It was a shock to hear the words of the waiter from the ceremony night. I realized I should refer to him as Mr. London, as he claimed. With Anika's reaction, I understood why she was upset. Anika still hadn't returned, and it didn't seem to bother "Fred London." He sat with his feet on the CEO's desk, playing games on his phone. I began to doubt his true identity. "So, Mr. Fred…" I started a conversation to verify his identity. He sighed, paused his game, and turned to me, indicating that I should continue. "I apologize if what I'm about to say offends you, but I need you to prove that you are truly the Fred London whom our company needs. Finding Fred London is nearly impossible, and doing business with him is notoriously difficult. So, it's hard for me to believe that he would simply show up here and request a partnership with the same company he recently rejected. I find it hard to believe," I said, observing his face for any signs of annoyance, but there were non

Anika’s P.O.V The telephone on my desk rang and I picked it up. My secretary informed me that the new head of finance had arrived. I summoned him into my office, and he wasted no time in coming in. His presence signaled some information about the company's fraud case and I desperately hoped for good news. It had been over a week since we signed the business deal with Fred London, and so far, luck had not been on our side concerning the case even though every other thing was getting better. As he stood in front of me, I felt a mix of anticipation and anxiety. "Let me guess, you still don't have any information on the person who stole my money?" I guessed. "Actually, no-" His response piqued my interest, and I urged him to continue. "We have discovered some useful information," he said, opening the laptop he had brought with him. Kelvin joined us and watched as the man showed us the evidence. "If you look closely, you can see a hand in the corner," he pointed out. It was a bare
