"So how was the visit?" mom asked the moment Jessica was busy talking to dad about one of her clients who turn out to be one of his friends from college.
"Pretty bad, but as expected. That was why we postponed this dinner."
"It's okay, I understand. Hopefully, it'll be all happy experience from now on. You better treat her right, Tyler. She had enough bad ones already." Mom hugged me and told me to go keep her company while she finishes up with the dinner preparation.
"I will mom, you know I will." I kissed her cheek before leaving mom so she can go back to instructing the chef and his little crew back in the kitchen area.

But come morning I was still a bit light-headed and mom had been asking me if I was having second thoughts."What? no! don't be ridiculous mom, of course, I'm not, I love her.""Okay, but you need to sober up, she doesn't need you hangover on her wedding day," she said as she patted my tux and make sure I look presentable."Oh, Tyler...I'm so proud of you.

JessicaWhen Troy died in jail, I thought all of my troubles would be gone but turns out I was in for a more dreadful one.It has been months since the company was struggling, I have been working all day and night but the impact seemed very little. Every month I kept on firing people and did more budget cuts just to keep the company afloat."Jessica, you should consider their offer. We can't keep on firing our employees," my assistant Kayleigh has been pushing me again with the new contract from the Richardson worldwide enterprise.But I just look at her and keep on scrolling on the Excel sheets trying to find ways to minimize our cost.

My CEO, My Temptation 2. Meeting the Boss
TylerIt took us almost an hour to reach her family home after a quick stop at Barney's to pick up our takeout dinner. And I was shocked to find that she was living alone in the two stories mansion.I've read her file, her parents had passed away, her brother was jailed for spousal abuse and died there not long ago. Her family was known for her brother's scandal and the company was suffering because of the neglect and mismanagement.It was an easy fix and I was needing her company for an expansion project that me and my brother Larry was doing."Let's eat first, and we will talk about work later."I have never found a woman with such determination before, she's very thin and pale and strangely still looked beautiful.

My CEO, My Temptation 3. The Other Brother
JessicaThat night I struggle to sleep in my bed and the nightmare came just like they always do.Since my first nightmare I've never bothered to sleep in my pajamas, and that was how that night I went to bed in my working attire thinking it was too dark to change.The same old excuse. I was quick to hide under my blanket just like my usual coward self and then woke up with a panic attack. My heart was beating so fast and the deafening silence was suffocating me to the point that I was breathing heavily.I tried to calm myself down, but I was teary and my hands were shaking. It was two in the morning, though I know it was too late to get back to the office. But I panicked looking at the dark corner of my room, and that's when I decide to grab my things and took a taxi back to the office."Mam, did you left something at the office?" the security g
My CEO, My Temptation 4. Busy Day
TylerIt was ten in the evening when I arrived back from work. Larry was smoking his cigar on the back porch when I remembered seeing Jessica's reddening hand and her awkward gesture of how she kept on hiding her hand."What happened to her hand?""Hello big brother, take a seat, have a cigar, tell me about your day?" Larry smirked but answered my question seconds later."...her assistant said that Jessica accidentally touched the hot coffee plate, she was surprised by her when she was refilling her tumbler." He puffed out the smoke and crossed his legs while he looked out at the beautiful starry night."She is a bit jumpy, don't you think?"Larry shrugged at my question, telling me that he hadn't known her long enough to give any opinion on her traits."She said that you took her home yesterday? insisted on having business di

She smirked, nudging her head to the office beside me."Oh my god, Kayleigh...I missed you so much. When are you mine?""Oh, shit Jess, you just made me feel so giddy on the inside." She giggled while digging through her extra-large purse and pulled out my sandwich dinner."So, is he okay with you staying the night here?""I think he's too busy with his PA to noticed.""Really? hmm...I didn't tag him as that kind of boss." She shrugged and showed me a few paperwork that needed my signature.I relaxed back to my seat and start eating my sandwich while listening to Kayleigh telling me about her day assisting Larry from
