A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 9: A Week To Decide
I folded my arms slowly and looked at him."Why is it me?"The question left my mouth before I could stop it. Maybe it was curiosity. Maybe it was annoyance or the strange feeling that had been sitting in my chest since he said the words fake relationship like it was a normal business proposal.Adrian didn’t answer immediately. He was watching me again.I just noticed that he had this habit of doing that looking at me like he was trying to read something beneath my skin.Finally he said calmly, "I already told you.""I want a clearer answer."His lips twitched slightly, almost like he found my stubbornness amusing."You’re fierce," he said simply. "Strong-willed. Stubborn."I frowned and shook my head. He leaned back slightly in his chair, his fingers loosely resting on the armrest."I don’t want someone who would make it look fake."His eyes stayed on mine."Most people would."Something about the way he said it made my stomach tighten a little.I met his gaze for a moment longer th
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 8: Not Related To Work
Amelia I stepped fully into the office and closed the door gently behind me. The quiet in Adrian Langford’s office felt… intentional. His eyes locked onto mine. "Good morning, Mr. Langford," I greeted smoothly. "Good morning," he returned, voice calm. "Please, have a seat." he gestured toward the high backed leather chair opposite his desk. I walked forward without hesitation and lowered myself into the chair. One leg crossed neatly over the other. "Thank you," I said. My posture was relaxed and composed, the same way I sat in every high-stakes meeting. He watched me for a brief second longer, like he was taking a mental snapshot. "What would you like to drink?" I shook my head lightly. "Nothing, I'm fine. Thank you." There was a small pause then he nodded once. "Alright." Silence settled between us. It was like he was carefully choosing which words to release into the room. I waited. Then he cleared his throat. "The reason I asked you to come," he began slowly, "is not
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 7: His Invitation
Amelia Monday morning came faster than I would have liked. Apparently, today was the official kickoff for the advertisement planning, which meant long hours, and by 9:30 am, I was already at the designated location with Mr. Hillary and part of our team. The air carried that familiar pre-project buzz, assistants moving around with tablets, production staff checking angles, someone arguing softly about lighting in the corner. Work mode activated. Exactly where I function best. I spotted Adrian the moment he arrived with his people. He moved through the space with that same controlled authority and calm expression. Two days ago in the lounge, he had stared at me like he was trying to solve a puzzle. Today? Nothing. Completely normal, professional. I straightened slightly where I stood, mentally brushing off the memory of Friday night. I was not about to act weird because of one look in a lounge. Adrian exchanged pleasantries with Mr. Hillary first , firm handshake, q
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 6: The Lounge
Amelia I had just pulled into my driveway when my phone rang. I checked the caller ID, it was Brianna. I smiled tiredly as I pushed the car door open and stepped out. "Hello?" Her voice burst through the speaker. "It’s Friday, Amelia. Don’t even think about hiding in your house. You are coming to that new lounge with us. This time, no excuses." A laugh slipped out of me before I could stop it. Typical Brianna, always dramatic and always right in my business. "Relax," I said, nudging my front door open with my shoulder. "I’m definitely coming." "Mm-hmm," she hummed suspiciously. "Because I already made plans with Zoey. We’re meeting by eight." My brows lifted as I glanced at the time on my phone. 6:17 p.m. "Okay, okay," I said, kicking the door shut behind me. "I’ll be there." "You better," she warned, then hung up. The quiet of my apartment settled around me immediately. Then my body moved on autopilot, the same routine I followed every single day. Shoes off fi
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 5: In The Elevator
Amelia The past two days had been nothing but revisions. Every time I thought the proposal was perfect, something in my head would itch, a strategy that could be tighter, a visual that could hit harder. So I kept tweaking, adjusting and refining. Because if there was one thing I refused to do, it was present anything that looked half-baked in front of Adrian. Not happening. I wanted him to look at my work and realize that calling me "lazy" was the biggest mistake of his professional life. Which was exactly why I was now standing in Mr. Hillary’s office. He leaned back in his chair, glasses low on his nose as he scrolled through the proposal on the tablet I had handed him. The office was quiet except for the soft swiping sound of his fingers against the screen. Finally, he nodded slowly. "This looks promising, Amelia." Promising was good. "I made some adjustments to the positioning strategy," I said evenly. "And strengthened the campaign rollout timeline." "I ca
A Deal With Mr. CEO Chapter 4: One small suggestion
Adrian I was halfway through a stack of quarterly reports when a soft knock landed on my office door. I didn’t look up immediately. "Come in." The door opened, quiet but precise, the way only one person in this building ever managed to do. Evander. I finally lifted my gaze from the paperwork as he stepped inside with a tablet in his hand "What’s my schedule concerning the hotel rebrand?" I asked, leaning back slightly in my chair. He glanced down at his tablet. "I’ve rescheduled the follow-up meeting for two days from now with Elevate Agency." I gave a small nod. "Good." Right on cue, his voice came again, this time lighter, almost amused. "Speaking of Elevate Agency…" I paused. He continued, "That was one fierce marketing strategist yesterday." My pen stilled. I didn’t need to ask who he meant. My mind flicked back to her. Amelia if I remember her name correctly. Before the thought could fully settle, my phone rang. I glanced at the screen. Irene.
