All Chapters of Romance With The CEO: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Back at Nation News, I am Julie Garcia. This time I will deliver about the traffic. A streak accident involving the fiancee’s entourage took place on the Rhopeake Expressway early this morning. Five people died, one person suffered serious burns, and dozens of people were injured in this accident.” On that Sunday, when the sky was not yet too hot, one news major accident spread all over. A bloody incident that forced the team medical, police, and firefighters to work together to rescue the fallen victims. “This major accident involved at least eight vehicles. Including transport vehicles and vehicles private. It is suspected that a drowsy container truck driver and vehicles that did not meet roadworthy requirements were the triggers of this unfortunate incident.” It was clearly not just a crash. Instead, it was like the end of the world for the victims who experienced it. Especially when the medical staff, the victim of the accident, found a very heartbreaking scene in the hallway

Velia did not know what feelings were currently raging inside her chest. Especially since she was in front of Lucas’s room. As Velia recalled earlier, the CEO wanted her to come. But, for the sake of anything. she did not think that the CEO was Lucas Hernandez. The man who had been the most painful part of her past. Someone who made her go as far as possible to start a new life. So many years have passed, but why should they meet again? Ironic, but Velia will never forget how that deep voice sounds familiar to her ears. Unchanged. Just like before. Not only that but everything. Velia could see the current Lucas and compared it to the memories in her mind. Lucas was still tall and big. His pair of sharp eyes still shone an aura of intimidation. Even his dense black hair was still as dark as Velia's last memory. In Velia's view, nothing had changed for Lucas, other than the streaks of maturity that began to appear on the face. It gave the impression of strong and dashing at the same

Velia immediately rushed at Mecca. Hugged Mecca tightly. Ignoring how disheveled she looks. Mecca invites Velia to move on the side of the empty toilet. Using the low walls of the mini garden divider inside there, they sat there. Velia told what happened to Mecca. From dismissal to indecent acts committed by Ricardo on her. “Bastard, old man,” growled Mecca. “He should be ashamed of his age and that old face!” Velia sipped while Mecca tidied herself up. “So, what now, Ve? What’s your plan?” Velia shook her head. “I don’t know where to find a job. You know how hard it is to find a job these days.” Mecca took a deep breath. Velia’s words were true. It is very difficult to search for work at a time like the present. Even if it could, salary problems also worse circumstances later. The next minute, Velia calmed down. She wiped her tears and tried to put a smile. She wanted her friend not to too eager to think about it. But Mecca was even more compassionate looking at Velia. She kn

Lucas sat down; his gaze fixed on the door as it slowly opened. The scene revealed Velia entering hesitantly, looking troubled. Something was clearly bothering her. “Please, have a seat,” Lucas said, waiting for a moment until he felt Velia was comfortable. His gaze scanned her, concluding that something was indeed happening to her. “What's the matter?” Lucas asked directly, without any small talk. “Why did you suddenly want to meet me?” Lucas shifted his focus, this time towards Velia's hands, which were tightly clasped together. It seemed she needed to gather her courage before asking a question instead of answering. “Did you fire me?” she asked. Lucas was taken aback, genuinely surprised. “Fired you? Me?” On one hand, Lucas was surprised by the accusatory tone of the question. But on the other hand, he grinned. So, because of this, you came to see me, Ve? “M-Mr. Bell said I was fired directly by my superior,” Velia continued. Lucas scoffed. “I thought you came to see me be

Velia’s body was still shaking badly when the girl got to her home. Each the words and actions that Lucas did to her just now made her tremble terribly. Cold sweat splashed on her forehead. Or even all over his body. Barely make the shirt she was wearing wet because of it. Velia quickly as possible went to the kitchen. Taking a glass of water and drink it with greed. Not enough with a glass, Velia then took second and third glasses. She needed to calm herself. Velia moved to her bed. Rubbing her wet face, she realized that her decision to see Lucas was the stupidest act she’s done it her whole life. She cursed herself who had thought that Lucas could solve the problem she was currently facing. But she was mistaken. Instead of helping, Lucas tried to take advantage of the situation to take advantage of herself. Velia squeezed her hand when she remembered Lucas’s words earlier. “Give me up on you, Luc?” Velia asked in an ironic tone. “No way.” A few moments later, Velia layed down
