บททั้งหมดของ Mr. CEO and His Secretary : บทที่ 121 - บทที่ 130

RayaThe bar was how I remembered it.Loud, dingy, and nice.Spanish music was playing on the speakers when I walked in.It was strange.Did that mean there was someone else who had seen them?Paparazzi?A random person?I wasn't sure who it was, but it definitely wasn't me.I hadn't taken a picture, or had I?I just hoped Mr. Sterling wasn't suspecting me, but who would he suspect if not me?"Ugh!" I groaned sitting at the counter, and I ordered a glass of whiskey for myself. Similar to the one that was in the glass beside me, but no one was there.Maybe the person already left.Or so I thought before the appearance of Mr. Sterling graced my presence.I nearly choked on my drink."M-mr. Sterling...""Did you come to... I don't know, rub it in my face too?"He seemed defeated."What? No. I didn't do it though. I would never...""I know.""What?"I stopped in the sermon I was about to deliver to him."You're not the type of person that would do that. I guess we were not just careful en

Raya"Are you sure I don't need to come?" I asked Maxwell as he prepared to go back to New York the same day we had arrived.Kendall was playing with the children in the house, and I walked into his embrace, wrapping my hand around his waist."No. No, I'm fine. Stay with Kyle. He shouldn't miss out on his birthday just because of my family problems."He tried to play it off with a chuckle, but I could tell he was worried."Fine, but we'll be there soon.""Enjoy your time, okay?"He nodded, and I kissed him lightly on the lips before watching him drive away in a black SUV."Why is Uncle Max leaving?" Kyle asked the minute I walked back in and I put on a smile for him."He had something to take care of.""So he won't be around?"I nodded, "Sorry about that.""Is that why he gave me this?" He raised up a black card, which made Kendall, who was whipping up something in the kitchen, gasp, and I glanced at her startled."What is it?""He gave you his card.""His card?"I collected the card

RayaI was surprised to see Mr. Sterling at the airport when we came back the next day. Maxwell, I mean, and I went into his embrace, taking in his scent when he kissed my forehead lightly.He smelt good."Shouldn't you be with your dad though?" I asked after he pulled away, and he ignored my question, carrying an enthusiastic Kyle, who jumped into his arms beside me. Michael was also eager to greet him, and Leah kept stretching her arms to where he was from Kendall's arm where she was.He finally carried her and faced the whole lot, "Did you have a good time?"They all nodded, beaming, including Kendall, who was not a child, and he smiled."I would have expected you all to spend a bit more. Three thousand dollars was nothing.""You left it in the hands of your girlfriend, not me." Kendall responded, and I glared playfully at her."Why did you even leave your credit card with him? Thank you, though."He smiled, and we all moved to his car, where he kept our luggage, then we got in.I

MaxwellThe process for breaking off the fashion company from the whole group was finalized after my meeting with the shareholders the next day, and the press was informed."Di Lusso is now a separate company from its parent company after the youngest son, Mr. Maxwell Sterling, pushed for the spin-off of the company from the Sterling group. He would now be seen as the CEO of the company and run the company's activities independently from the Sterling Group."I nodded my head at the press news and met up with Raya for our meeting the next day.She was in a simple flowery gown that stole my breath away, and I had a hard time keeping my eyes off her when she got to me."What? Is there something on my face?"I cocked my eyebrow, "Beauty."She blushed, hitting my hand slightly as she tried to walk away, and I pulled her figure into mine to smear the lipstick that was on her lips on mine.She pushed me away after the success of that and glanced back at her building, "Someone could be watchi

RayaI spent the rest of the days counting down to the hypnosis appointment thinking about how it'll go and what could go wrong, and it didn't help that it was just three days in between.That was all the days I had to overthink things.Kendall wasn't helping either, as she tried to deter me from the whole process."It's dangerous," she said."But I have to know who Kyle's father is.""And what if he's an asshole?"I had no answer to that but thought of it as we drove to the appointment.At least I would know who he is and give Kyle the option to know who his father is or not."Are you okay?" Maxwell asked, holding my hand as he had been doing a lot, and it was so heartwarming that he was standing by me in all this.Like never in my life would I have thought that there would be someone who would be so willing to stand by me when I had nothing to offer him.He was literally the one spending the most money, doing the most things, and it made me feel weird at times, I wouldn't lie, thoug
