All Chapters of Charming the CEO: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I walked into the lobby of my apartment building, feeling confident in my formal attire. I had a big meeting in Thailand and I wanted to make a good impression. But as soon as I saw Eddie waiting for me, my confidence wavered. He was wearing a casual jacket and jeans, and he couldn't help but tease me for being overdressed. "Luna, you know we're going to a developing country, right? You don't need to dress like you're going to the Oscars," he said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and tried to brush off his comment, but I couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. I didn't want to look out of place in a foreign country. "Fine, I'll go change," I huffed, turning on my heel and heading back to my apartment. When I returned, Eddie was still waiting for me in the lobby. This time, I was dressed in a more casual outfit, and Eddie gave me a nod of approval. "Better," he said. "Now, let me tell you a little bit about where we're going. Thailand is a developing country, and while it has made gr

As Eddie and I sat under the starlit sky, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the beauty of the night. I pointed up at the sky and began to tell Eddie about the different constellations that I could see."See that group of stars over there?" I asked, pointing towards a cluster of stars. "That's the Big Dipper. And if you follow the two stars at the end of the 'spoon' part, they point towards the North Star, which is the last star in the handle of the Little Dipper."Eddie looked up at the sky, his eyes wide with wonder. "I never knew that," he said. "I've always loved looking at the stars, but I never really knew what I was looking at."I smiled at him. "There are so many amazing things to see in the night sky," I said. "Each constellation has its own story, its own mythology. For example, the Big Dipper is also known as the Plough, and it's said to represent the wagon of the Greek god, Zeus."Eddie looked at me with interest. "Really? I had no idea. Tell me more."I laughed an

Amelia sat at the desk in Ethan's home office, her fingers trembling as she tried to log into his company's account. She had promised her boyfriend that she would send him some money, and Amelia has done this many times. But lately, the financial system at Ethan's company had gotten more complicated and Amelia could no longer transfer as she pleased from the company's account. This was what Amelia had been grumbling about.But as she tried to navigate the complex accounting system, a sharp pain shot through her temples. She winced and rubbed her forehead, trying to push through the pain. But it was no use. She couldn't concentrate."Damn, when did Ethan implement such a complicated financial system?" Amelia cursed to herself. This woman felt that she realized too late when she should have drained Ethan's wealth long ago.Meanwhile, Ethan was in the living room, pacing back and forth. He, too, was suffering from a headache, but his was brought on by stress and anger. He had been suspi

The man who had been watching Luna, a young woman who was one of the foreigners, was named Ravi. He was a local businessman who had a reputation for being cunning and ruthless. He had gathered three of his trusted associates in the hut to discuss their plan.You can already tell from the way they gather that they're discussing something with bad intentions."We need to make sure that these foreigners understand that we are in control here," Ravi said, pacing back and forth. "They come into our town with their big ideas and their money, thinking they can just do whatever they want. But we know how things really work around here."His associates nodded in agreement. This kind of thing is actually common, there must be a small group of people who want to take advantage of outsiders in their place too."We will tell them that we need a certain amount of money to ensure the success of their project," Ravi continued. "If they refuse to pay, we will make sure that they face delays and obstac

As I watched the group of ranchers approach, my heart sank when I saw Ravi among them. His face was unreadable, but something about his demeanor seemed off. He avoided making eye contact with me, and I could tell that something was weighing heavily on his mind.Indeed, it was Eddie who requested that Ravi come again after the incident this morning. This was so that the problem could be resolved quickly and not drag on.Eddie must have noticed it too, because he stepped forward to meet Ravi, his eyes narrowing as he took in the other man's expression."What's going on, Ravi?" Eddie asked, his voice low and dangerous.Ravi hesitated for a moment before finally meeting Eddie's gaze. There was a flicker of fear in his eyes, quickly masked by a look of defiance.Obviously, because this morning Ravi saw how Eddie took out the five villagers who were the pioneers of the anarchic protest that morning. They didn't even care what happened to me, and continued to protest in front of this house e
