A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 42: The Request
I finally picked out the skincare products and perfume I wanted. Adrian paid for everything without hesitation and took some of the bags from me and we left the mall hand in hand and walked back to the car. He began the drive to his house. Adrian had convinced me to stay through the weekend at his place, eventually picking me up from my house this Friday evening. After we got to the house, I went to shower. When I was done, I changed into a simple pajamas that Adrian had kept where he kept the clothes he bought, or.. the 'Amelia wing' as I'd started to think of it. Afterwards, we had dinner and went back upstairs. "I'll join you in a few minutes," Adrian said, leaning against the doorframe of the bedroom. "I just need to quickly review some paperworks in the study." "Don't be long, Langford," I teased, climbing into the massive bed. "The pillows are more interesting than paperwork." He gave me a small smile before he left. I settled against the headboard, scrolling throug
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 41: Unexpected Encounter
Amelia It had been a month since the dinner at Harrington's place. Life hadn’t slowed down. If anything, it had picked up speed. Mom’s patisserie and café was coming to life faster than I expected. The setup had moved at lightning speed. Within the first two weeks, the purchase was finalized, workers were hired, equipment was delivered and installed, and the interior was painted in the soft pastel tones mom has always liked. I had helped a few times with the planning. A grand opening was scheduled for next weekend. And Adrian... he had been just as busy. The Harrington acquisition was in its final stages. Meetings, calls, documents, negotiations... they were all constant. But he still kind of made time for us. We went out together, sometimes for lunch, sometimes for dinner. Even the lounge. I had to convince him to go with me, though it was once but it was just to ease the stress. I also attended a couple of low-key events with him as his official girlfriend. I was
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 40: Are You Being Nosy?
"Now that I think of it, it feels unreal," I added. "What does?" "This. Us. Being here," I said. "Two months ago, I was considering you a punch. You were so arrogant." He let out a low, chuckle that vibrated through the mattress. "You’re never going to let that go, are you?" "But I hope you eventually forgive me," he added. "I might," I teased, "eventually." "I hope you do." "But I honestly don't see you that way anymore. The whole hardened heart of a thing." He turned his gaze to the ceiling, his expression turning thoughtful. "Maybe I do have a cold heart. Not just to you." He paused, his voice dropping. "Besides, I like it when people see me that way. It keeps them at a distance. It makes them think twice before trying to cross me." "Why?" I asked. "You like being the villain?" "It’s efficient," he said simply, though I knew it was a shield. He didn't want to talk about the 'why.' "We’ve never really talked about your family, I've only come across a few pho
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 39: Interrupted
"Jealousy looks good on you, Langford," I whispered teasingly. Before I could even process the movement, his hands were on my waist, lifting me effortlessly onto the kitchen island. I let out a tiny, playful yelp. My dress rode up my thighs from the movement and he moved closer. I wasn’t sure who moved first, I didn't care, but suddenly our lips collided, hot and desperate. My hands tangled in his hair, pulling him closer, needing to feel the weight of him. He groaned into my mouth, his hands sliding down to the hem of my dress. "Still think it’s none of my business?" he murmured against my lips. I let out a breathless laugh, my fingers tightening slightly in his shirt. "Maybe." He broke the kiss only to trail his lips down my neck. I tilted my head back, giving him more room. His hands slid up my thighs, pushing the fabric higher until it bunched around my hips. The heat pooling between my legs was becoming a physical ache. His fingers found my lace panties as he traced
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 38: Jealousy?
At that moment, Adrian and Mr. Harrington walked back toward the table. I didn't bother responding to Darrell. When they reached us, Harrington gave me a warm nod. "It was wonderful having you both over tonight, Amelia. Truly a pleasure." I returned the smile, keeping it steady and polite. "Thank you so much for having us, Mr. Harrington. Everything was lovely." Adrian’s eyes flicked to Darrell for the briefest second before they settled on me. His hand came to rest gently at the small of my back. "You okay?" he asked lightly. I nodded, "Yes. I’m fine." Adrian didn’t bother saying anything to Darrell. We said bye to Mr. Harrington before walking out. The staff nodded politely as we passed. We rode the private elevator down in silence. The moment the doors opened into the lobby, Adrian guided me outside and we walked toward the car. Months ago, Mr. Hillary had needed someone to step in last minute because his assistant had called in sick. So I had gone in her place in
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 37: A Decision Made
ADRIAN Harrington led the way a little further down the terrace, past the main dining setup and toward a more quieter section. He didn’t waste time on small talks. "I won’t keep you long," he said. "You already know what this conversation is about, right?." "Yes, I do know," I replied. "I’ll be direct with you, Adrian," he said. "You want the company. I know that. You’ve made your intentions very clear over the past months, and I respect the way you’ve positioned yourself." I nodded once, keeping my posture relaxed. This was the moment everything had been leading toward. Harrington looked out toward the skyline for a second, then back at me. "I always thought I’d be handing the keys to a Harrington. Well, both of my children are completely uninterested in taking over." He continued, "They have their own paths, tech startups, creative work, the kind of things that actually make them happy and they’re completely uninterested in a boardroom. I truly respect their decision.
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 36: Hidden Tension
ADRIAN Darrell walked towards the table. "Sorry I’m late," he said, flashing a polished, practiced smile. "The call ran longer than I expected." Harrington waved it off with a chuckle. "No harm done. Come, join us." Then he gestured towards me and Amelia, "This is Adrian and his girlfriend
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 35: Unexpected Guest
AMELIA I got home from work early. Dinner with the Harringtons was set for 7:00 p.m. Which meant everything about today had to be… right. Not just for the deal, but for him. I knew how much this mattered to him. How much the entire last few weeks had been building toward it. I freshened up.

He stopped right in front of me. His eyes moved over me slowly, like he was taking in the dress. Then, he tilted his head a little to the side and squinted, like something had just clicked in his brain. I raised an eyebrow. "What?" He didn’t answer right away. Just kept looking at me with that
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 33: Typical Adrian
The following day, work passed by the normal way Thursdays sometimes do. Emails, minor deadlines, small conversations in between. Then Mr. Hillary walked in. He stopped just inside the open-plan area with his hands in his pockets. "Amelia, Megan, Casey. You three can close out for the day. Hea
