A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 69: No Matter The Distance
ADRIAN Yesterday had been Amelia’s birthday. The thought had not left my mind since. Not even once. I sat in my study. For most people, a date like that might slip through the cracks of a busy schedule. But ever since I had done my initial research on her, back when I had wanted her for the deal, the date had kind of been etched into my memory. At the time, it had been just another detail. A line on a page. Something to note and move past. Now… It felt like something else entirely. Yesterday, it sat in the back of my mind like a ticking clock. I hadn’t forgotten. My phone vibrated on the desk. It was Evander. I picked it up. "Hello?" "Sir," Evander’s voice came through. "I’m finalizing the itinerary for the business trip next week. The board is expecting you at the opening of the new tech hub. Do you want the jet prepped for Monday morning?" I stared out at the shelf for a moment. "No," I said, my voice sounding more final than I intended. "Reschedule the trip. I’m
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 68: Night out
Amelia After a frantic day at the office, where every "Happy Birthday" from a colleague felt like a reminder of the one person who hadn't said it, I finally made it home. After dinner, I settled on the couch to rest for a while before the girls show up. After a while, there was a knock on the door. My lips curved into a smile because I already knew who I was expecting. I opened the door and there they were. "Birthday girl!" Zoey squealed, throwing her arms around me. "Twenty six looks good on you," Brianna said, hugging me right after. I laughed, moving aside for them. "You two, come in."They did and I shut the door behind them. The air in the living room instantly felt lighter. They didn’t give me a second before shoving a neatly wrapped box into my hands. "For the birthday girl," Brianna said. I looked down at it, then back at them. "You didn’t have to..." "Open it," Zoey cut in, impatient. I laughed and peeled back the wrapping. Inside was a sleek designer
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 67: A New Age
It's been over a week since the "incident" in Adrian’s office. I had thrown myself into the new client pitches and just tried to distract myself.I exhaled slowly, pushing the thought away as I sat on my couch that evening. Just then, my phone began to vibrate on the table in front of me.I picked the phone up. It was a group FaceTime request from Zoey and Brianna. I smiled faintly before answering."Hey, you two.""Hello!" Zoey’s voice came through immediately, dramatic as ever. "Happy Birthday Eve!" Brianna’s face filled half the screen."Don't even think about saying you're too tired tomorrow," Zoey chimed in from her own window, pointing a mascara wand at the camera.She continued. "Tomorrow is the big Two and Six, and thankfully, it’s a Friday. That means no 'I have a big meeting tomorrow' excuses, Amelia. We are going out. Real food, real drinks, and zero talk about work. We're just having fun."I laughed. "Okay, okay! I hear you both. I surrender. No work talk, I promise.""An
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 66: Closure?
Adrian didn't pull away, he lifted my chin with his fingers trembling slightly. He was staring at me with an unshielded intensity. "Amelia," he breathed. He reached out, his thumb catching a stray lock of hair and tucking it slowly, deliberately, behind my ear. His touch was like fire on my skin. Before I could process the heat, his hands moved to my waist. With an effortless surge of strength, he lifted me. I gasped, my hands instinctively flying to his shoulders to steady myself. Thankfully, I had opted for my tailored corporate trousers today. He walked the short distance to his massive desk. With one sweep of his arm, he shoved a stack of files and documents aside. They slid across the polished wood, some fluttering to the floor, but he didn't seem to bother. He settled me onto the edge of the desk, stepping between my knees so that there was no space left. His lips found the sensitive curve of my neck, sending a jolt of pure lightning through my veins. He traile
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 65: What Are We Doing?
The following week, we all that were involved in the Rebrand were called to the boardroom that afternoon. We all filed in. Mr. Hillary stood at the head of the table, looking pleased as he addressed us. "You all did an exceptional job," he said, his voice warm. "The client, Mr. Adrian Langford was satisfied. Everything was on point. Well done to every single one of you." A round of applause rippled through the room. I clapped along with everyone else. Mr. Hillary continued, "Because of the success of this project, two other major firms have already reached out to us for similar rebranding work. This is a significant win for Elevate. It puts us firmly on the map in the premium acquisition space." "We’ll be discussing the specifics of the new accounts later this week," Mr. Hillary added, gathering his things. "But for now, take the win. You’ve earned it. Meeting adjourned." Another round of applause followed, louder this time. A few people cheered. After a few more conver
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 64: And That Was It
Just then, my phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID and it was mom. I walked to a more quiet corner and picked it up. I picked up, trying to keep my voice steady. "Hey, Mom." "Amelia," she said immediately, her tone a mix of surprise and concern. "How are you dear? Did you make a mistake? I saw that you transferred half a million dollars to my account." I leaned my head against a cold concrete pillar, closing my eyes for a second. Earlier in the week, after verifying everything with the bank and making sure the transfer was secure, I had sent her half of the money that Adrian had deposited to my account. It felt like the right thing to do. She had actually saved up for me while I was growing up. It was from that money I bought the house I lived in now, even though Zoey and Brianna had teased me endlessly about buying a place with more than one bedroom when I was the only one living there. "It was not a mistake, Mom," I said quietly. She was silent for a beat. "Did you t
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’
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 32: We Should Talk
AMELIA Wednesday evening, after I got off from work that day, I stood beside Mom, both of us facing the building she had been talking about since yesterday. "This is the one," she said, almost to herself. "I’ve had my eye on it for a while now. It's a perfect size for the expansion." I smile
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 21: What Happens Now?
AMELIA Did that really just happen? I mean… it did. I was there. But still. My legs were still shaky as I padded down the last few steps into the living room. I let out a quiet breath as I walked further into the living room, my steps slower than usual, like I was trying to process everything
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 20: Closer Than Before
Damn! I actually was attracted to him. The words hung between us, undeniable now that it has been said out loud. His gaze held mine for a second longer, like he was making sure. With his hand still resting on my cheek, he tilted his head to the other side of my face and leaned in as his lips b
