All Chapters of Falling For Mr King: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The next couple of days passed in a blur which suited Steven just fine. The dinner with Mr.Kaito had been quite uneventful and he had seemed so taken with Marie. This hadn't surprised Steven because everyone who met Marie was taken with her.The only eventful thing that had happened after the contest was on the same night when he had heard Marie crying in her sleep. At first, he had thought she was awake and decided to ignore her until she had started whimpering and kicking the covers. He had tried to shake her awake but nothing he did had worked. Desperate, he had done the only thing that made sense at the time, placed her between his laps, stroked her back, and talked to her in soft whispers. At last, she had heard his voice and clung to his shirt while she wept. Shaken by what he had just witnessed, Steven had held her in his arms till she calmed down. At last, she had looked up at him through tears and pleaded,“Steven, please promise me you’ll never make me get on a plane ever a

After Alden had left, Steven had tried his utmost best to reach his father so he could hear his side of the story but his calls had gone straight to voicemail and Desiree, who was his father's secretary hadn't taken any of his calls. Waving the issue out of his mind, Steven decided to concentrate on his work. He went over notes from the Cheggo Foodsmeeting and did a routine status report check on other accounts before he taught about getting lunch.He glanced wistfully at the corner where Marie would have been sittes if she had come to work. He wasn't going to admit to missing her even though his office felt like it had been stripped of color. How could one person elevate a space so much with her presence?By the time he had concluded three meetings and reviewed works that had been sent to him for approval in the past weeks, Steven glanced outside and realized it was dark. Shutting his laptop, he beeped his driver to ready his car and headed to the parking lot. At least Marie would

“Great! Hit me again, City Boy! Do it if it means you're going to actually confront all these… If it means you’ll stop being a BLOODY COWARD!”“James, I'm warning you. Shut up! You don't know everything!”“No, City Boy, I don't. But I do have eyes and I thank God they work. You think she's going to wait around forever for you to choose her?”Steven felt muscles pulling in his cheek even as he struggled to rein in his anger. He knew that James was right and that was what frustrated him the most. But James wasn't the one who had to deal with the falling out of his relationship with Yolanda. It was thanks to Alden's involvement that she hadn't wrecked him. It had been shocking to see someone whom he had seen as a lover transit into such a schemer. To date, he had no idea what Alden said to her to get her to drop the charges against him. After the nightmare he had ensured navigating both a broken heart and hushed criminal charges, he had decided never to get entangled with someone from

After careful consideration, and in light of recent unfavorable circumstances; such as repeated leaks which are now negatively impacting business objectives, Cheggo Foodshas decided to engage another agency to execute the “Eat to live” campaign. We humbly request that your agency ceases all work on the project immediately and delivers all source files and assets to us within…Marie whisked her eyes from the Email, unable to continue reading. Her heart fluttered with tension as she looked at Steven’s face. He looked positively livid and ready to fire someone. This was the Steven that she knew. The fearsome billionaire whom no one dared cross. It could have been worse but now was not the time to bring that up to him. She was however glad that the agency had not been completely fired. But even she knew that outsourcing projects due to leaks could only be a harbinger of worse things to come. She looked at Steven now, his jaw clenching as he typed rapidly on his phone. She had no envy wh

Steven turned on his side as he thought about what he had overhead tonight. Maybe she had been so upset that she didn't care about how loud her voice was but it had carried all the way to his office and so he had been forced to come out. That's when he had overheard Marie saying that she loved him. That she had loved him for years. It was possible that she had been talking about someone else but his crazy, hopeful heart said otherwise.Marie was in love with him. The Assistant he couldn't afford to lose was in love with him. He felt his heart exploding with a myriad of emotions. There was a part of him that felt ecstatic about the information, and the other part was terrified because he suddenly felt like he had to do something about the feelings stirring in his heart.His eyes darted to the bedside clock beside him. The time was 10 PM and true to her word, she hadn't returned. He hadn't planned to do what he had done earlier today. He had just been so conflicted about her going out w
