All Chapters of Romance With The CEO: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Velia's eyes widened. The words Lucas uttered successfully brought a blush to Velia's cheeks. Along with the stiffness and annoyance that never failed to silence her. Silence. Velia could only stand there, stunned, as she gazed at the increasingly changing Lucas. The air around them seemed to be affected as well. No words were spoken. Lucas could not find any response. However, he interpreted Velia's silence as an alternative for the word 'yes.' Lucas could prove that his prediction was correct. As if he could foresee the future, he found Velia's fingers welcoming his hand. Little by little, the distance between them diminished. The gap grew narrower with each passing moment. Two gazes locked in a straight line, leading them to meet at a single point. They paused momentarily in the falling warm water. Droplets poured and landed, seeping through and leaving moisture. They imprinted and left traces on their clinging clothes. Lucas blinked once. The water droplet hanging from his e

Vlora looked uncertainly at a pill on Lucas' desk. “Do you know what pill this is?” Vlora blinked once and shook her head. “I'm sorry, Sir. I don't know.” “It's a birth control pill.” Vlora's face lit up with a spark of surprise in her eyes. She glanced at her boss, and Lucas nodded. “You're right,” Lucas said, as if he could read Vlora's thoughts. “So, you know what you need to do? I want you to find fertility pills that look exactly like this one.” Vlora understood what Lucas wanted. “Or at least something similar in appearance. She won't notice.” “How much should I prepare, Sir?” “As much as you can get and as quickly as possible.” “Alright, Sir. I will do my best today.” Lucas nodded in satisfaction. A mischievous grin appeared on his face as soon as Vlora left. It was quiet and still, and he did not immediately resume his work. Instead, he filled his mind with the beautiful face of Velia.

Velia quickly glanced around to ensure that Lucas had not come out of the bathroom yet. The coast seemed clear, and without hesitation, she pulled open the vanity table drawer.Her hand reached inside and retrieved a bottle that she had always hidden there. It was the only thing that could calm her during her time living with Lucas.Velia took out a pill and quickly returned the bottle to its original place. She closed the drawer, then grabbed a glass of water from the nightstand and drank it hastily.“What did you drink, Ve?”Suddenly and unexpectedly, Lucas emerged from the bathroom at just the right moment.Velia choked. She nearly spat out the pill and hurriedly drank as much water as possible. The pill that had been stuck in her throat successfully went down.“L-Luc.”Lucas approached Velia with a towel wrapped around his waist. He looked at the glass in Velia's hand and repeated the question.&ldqu

Something made Velia's sleep uncomfortable. The tranquility and peace that embraced her throughout the night vanished, replaced by irregular breathing and an unusual atmosphere. Velia furrowed her brows. Her eyes slowly opened, and it was not strange that the first thing she saw was Lucas's chest. However, it was Lucas's embrace that hinted at something peculiar.There was heat emanating from Lucas's body, an unusual warmth. Velia gathered her senses. She lifted her face and noticed another peculiarity. Sweat trickled down Lucas's face, abundant and the droplets appeared larger than usual. Velia reached out her hand, briefly touching a droplet of sweat and ending up on Lucas's forehead.Velia's eyes widened as she heard Lucas's uncomfortable moan. He opened his eyes and smiled.“Good morning.”Velia rose with a worried expression. Instead of returning the greeting, she appeared panicked when she spoke.“You're sick, Luc.”

“I miss you.” One sentence. Three words. It only took one breath for Lucas to enchant Velia's consciousness. Despite the distance between them and without exchanging glances, it couldn't prevent him from rendering Velia motionless. The call had ended. Velia's phone screen went dark, a sign that the call had ended quite a while ago. However, that's just how Velia is. She remained lost in thought, unable to stop thinking about Lucas. Velia took a deep breath. Now there was no more concentration for work. Instead, her focus shifted to the time. She grew restless as she felt time passing by so slowly. Finally, it was time to leave the office. Velia hurriedly made her way, paying no attention to the people around her. She rushed to the parking lot and quickly got into her car. Carter waited for Velia to settle comfortably and fasten her seatbelt before driving the car. He asked, “Does you want to stop by somewhere first?” Velia shook her he
