CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH NOT REALLY A DATE
Bruno's entire body stiffened instantly. He knew immediately what she meant, and his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.Clearing his throat awkwardly, he quickly pulled away from her, his gaze avoiding hers as he stepped back.His hands moved to his pockets, and he turned his back to her, trying to compose himself.Beauty blinked in confusion at first, but when she saw the way Bruno's face turned red and how flustered he had become, she realized."Is that... his?"Beauty swallowed tightly and her face turned red with secondhand embarrassment.Bruno, still awkwardly facing away from her, groaned inwardly. Her silence only deepened his embarrassment. He couldn't tell what was going on in her mind."I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-"Bruno muttered, rubbing the back of his neck with one hand."It's okay, I understand, Sir Bruno,"Beauty replied immediately, trying not to giggle."Thanks for your support... I feel so much better now. I also like the way you styled my hair."She added.Bruno si

"I saw you on the cover of the Hourglass edition," her mother said proudly, "and I couldn't resist buying it. You look stunning, as always, my I.T. girl."She winked.Shelly blushed."Mom! Stop it already.""What? I am telling the truth... I'm proud of you, honey. I wish your father was alive to see how much you've grown. You know, your biological dad is still alive...""Mom, you are still my mother, and Dad is still my father. You don't need to explain it any other way. I know I always desired going back to visit my biological parents but that doesn't mean we are not family anymore mom,"Shelly replied.Her mother smiled in tears and pecked her head, then glanced at her phone screen briefly."I see... a handsome-looking man, huh?"Shelly's eyes lit up."Our company is doing a collaboration with F&F. And guess what? The young CEO himself will be meeting with us soon."Her mother raised an eyebrow, intrigued."Oh? And who is this CEO?""He is Bruno Hathaway! He is a popular figure and,

Bruno and Beauty arrived at the exclusive, lavish beauty salon and spa."This place is quite expensive," Beauty informed him, her eyes wandering around the environment."It's fine," he replied with a smile and got out of the car."He just says it's fine?" Beauty asked herself.Bruno opened the door for her, cutting into her thoughts. "Ready?"Beauty smiled nervously and stepped out of the car, while Bruno followed closely behind.His hands tucked into his pockets. A habit.The moment they entered, beauticians greeted them with bright smiles. They seemed to recognize Bruno and started giggling, whispering to each other in high pitched voices.Oh my goodness! What if they put us online and the F&F staff find out? What will happen? Why did he come to this place? He's a public figure-it's risky!Beauty yelled inside.The spa's soft music and warm lighting created a relaxing atmosphere, but the butterflies in Beauty's stomach persisted."Welcome, Mr. Bruno!" the younger staff members shou

"Oh, um... it's not what it looks like-"Beauty stammered."Sure, sure" one of the women grinned, cutting her off."We know how it is. He's a keeper,honey. Not many men would go all out to make sure their girl looks this stunning. He seems like a possessive type too, his eyes are always on you... I'm jealous".Lisa whispered.Meanwhile, through the glass, Bruno watched nervously, his heart racing as he saw Beauty chatting and laughing with the stylists. He felt a mix of nervousness and admiration that they thought she was his girl."Is this your first time having this kind of treatment? You look really nervous."Lisa asked as she applied a shampoo on Beauty's scalp.Beauty nodded, embarrassed."Why, darling? I had my first experience at 12!""Well, I had my insecurities at a young age and didn't bother," Beauty replied slowly."You are absolutely beautiful, honey. We'll make you see it. Just relax, and we'll make you feel good."Beauty bit her lip. "But what if I look silly?""Silly?

"I need to say hello to a friend; I'll be back," he informed the supervisor and walked out of the men's section.He had secretly admired her from the moment they started working together. To him she seems very easy to be with, though he had never found the right moment to make his move. Today seemed like the perfect opportunity.When he walked into the room, the beautician giving Beauty a pedicure was the first to notice and whispered to her colleague about the incoming handsome man."Why is he in the women's section, though?" her colleague asked in a whisper."I think he's here for her,"Vanessa whispered back, pointing at Beauty, who had her eyes closed, enjoying the treatment, with her face covered in a facemask."Well, well, if it isn't the most beautiful woman in the salon today."Eric announced.Beauty opened her eyes, startled by the voice. She was surprised to see Eric but felt a bit flustered at his humor and teasing."Eric?" Beauty exclaimed. She didn't expect him here at al

He could see through the glass wall. Eric was standing too close to Beauty, his fingers playing with her hair.Bruno's grip tightened on the bag of snacks he was carrying, his entire body stiff with anger.How did he know she was here? he thought to himself, hating the rising fury inside him.The moment Eric saw him, his heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale.Bruno's intense gaze was fixed on him, making him feel uncomfortable. Eric's hand immediately fell away from Beauty's hair as if it had burned him.Bruno, the young boss-what is he doing here? It's an exclusive place, and he has a private one. I have to compose myself. Besides, I'm a man, and I can take anyone on a date. Even though being on a date with the company's 'Whale,' who no man wants, makes me feel lame, it's still useful to use her as an escape route. He'll pity her and let it go, Eric thought."The boss is here. I'll distract him," he whispered to Beauty."What?" Beauty gasped and froze instantly.Her fear was

Unfortunately that seemed to upset Bruno even more.For a moment, there was silence in the reception area.Eric and Bruno held eye contact as if they were rivals from a past life.Even the receptionist and a few attendants in the room had stopped pretending not to be eavesdropping, their eyes darting back and forth between the two men, clearly enjoying the drama and waiting for the next move.Bruno glanced around, noticing the curious eyes on them. He clenched his jaw and rolled his tongue against his teeth, clearly trying to rein in his frustration."Let's talk outside."Without waiting for a response, he walked over to the receptionist.The other workers in the room pretended to mind their own business, while Eric stood there, still triggered but unsure how to express his anger to his boss."Can you take these to Beauty?" Bruno asked the receptionist, his tone softer now.The receptionist, Monica, blinked, clearly startled."Of... of course," she stammered, glancing nervously betwee

When Bruno came back into the salon where Beauty was, her transformation made his breath catch in his chest. It was only a few minutes he spent outside with Eric but it felt like a whole day because of the transformation.He stared, poleaxed.Beauty was asked to open her eyes after the final touch-ups. She looked in the mirror and gasped at her reflection. Then she noticed Bruno staring at her through the mirror. Their eyes met and locked.He smiled at her, and she gave him a nervous smile in return, though it was the broadest smile she had ever given him.Bruno swallowed hard.He couldn't fool around anymore-he had to seduce her, just like Jessie said. He had to step out of his character and do something."So, what do you think?"Lisa asked. The other two beauticians were smiling at Beauty, anticipating her reply."I don't know what to say... It's really pretty."Beauty replied slowly."No, you are pretty. We told you we'd help you see it. Now do you believe us?"Vanessa added.Beau

Beauty mumbled, grabbing her handbag in a flustered rush."Gracias."Bruno replied smoothly as he took the seat beside her.The silence between them was heavy with unspoken words, each of them fighting every urge to break the total strangers vibe.Beauty crossed her arms, angling herself as far from him as possible.There's enough room for that... distance anyway. Bruno tried not to glance over too often, but the slight scent of her perfume kept tugging at his attention.This was certainly not as fun as he'd imagined."She's right here next to me, and yet I can't even look at her. Who made that rule? This woman is going to drive me insane."Hours later, with most of the coworkers dozing off as night fell, Bruno busied himself with his phone. Suddenly, he felt a hand fall on him.Beauty had drifted off to sleep and leaned against him by mistake."Sorry," she murmured, cheeks flushed."Don't touch me, distance please; you have enough room," he replied coldly, though he was only teasin
CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH GREEN FLAG NOT
On Monday morning, Beauty woke up early, dressed for work, and checked her notifications as she grabbed her phone."This week is our trip! To Puerto Rico!" flashed across the company's group chat.Panic set in as she scrolled further, realizing she'd missed yesterday's online meeting.Ferd is going to kill me.Quickly grabbing her bag, she hurried outside to catch a cab. A speeding one finally slowed down, and the driver rolled down his window.Leaning forward, she requested, "Hathaway F&F Company, please.""You know the price," he replied with a smirk, opening the door."Sure, thanks," she said, hopping in as he sped off.At the company entrance, she arrived just in time to see Bruno stepping out of his car. She immediately pretended not to notice him, casting her gaze anywhere but in his direction. She watched as his assistant took his suitcase, and his bodyguard followed him toward the entrance, a perfect picture of confidence.Ugh, why does he have to look so good?Beauty sighed,

"Oh, really? Can you see? She's threatening to do more," Kathy snapped."Ms. Kathy! Listen," Ferdinand yelled in annoyance."This is not the time for your tantrums and IT girl special treatment. This meeting is for the upcoming tour. I will ask you to keep quiet and focus on the meeting.""You're embarrassing me in front of everyone! This is not how you handle things! This isn't fair! Y'all hate me because I am pretty. You think that I can't be the victim?" Kathy snapped back.Jessie scoffed and rolled her eyes.The meeting continued, with Ferdinand moving on to the next agenda item, and everyone's attention focused on their preparations, ignoring Kathy.She sat there, grumpy and muttering words to herself."I am sure she is crying inside right now, poor thing ... knowing that these two dated in the past made it so much more satisfying," Jessie whispered to Beauty and laughed quietly.Beauty looked toward Kathy's direction; seeing her cry silently made her feel a little guilty.She is
CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH PICK ON SOMEONE YOOUR SIZE
As Beauty walked back to her desk, the only thing ringing in her mind was Bruno's words."Good luck."Just good luck!Well, what was I expecting?He will kneel down and ask me not to leave him?Suddenly, she noticed the whispers and glances from her colleagues. It was clear the whole department had heard about the confrontation with Kathy. She drew a deep breath and managed to walk to her office desk with her head held high, pretending not to notice, but inside, she felt both a bit embarrassed and oddly proud.She took her pieces of design and started working on her rough stitches."Beauty!"Jessie's voice distracted her focus, and she almost poked her skin with a needle.Jessie came rushing over to her, grinning from ear to ear."Beauty! I heard what happened," she whispered excitedly, barely able to contain herself. "Finally stood up to her. I am so proud. You should see how the pest was crying in the department. She will respect you from now on."Beauty sighed, opened her mouth, b
CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH SURPRISE DECISION
"I can't do anything if you don't tell me the truth. What brought about this fight between you two?"Kathy rolled her eyes, avoiding his gaze. "Well, maybe she just couldn't handle the truth."Bruno looked up, now serious."The truth? What 'truth' did you tell her?"Kathy went silent, clearly realizing she'd said too much. She shifted uncomfortably, looking frustrated but unable to respond.Bruno felt a pang of concern, imagining Beauty being emotionally abused by Kathy."You abused her again, didn't you? And then you two fought?""It wasn't even a fight. She hit me before I could see clearly-I was on the floor. She may look innocent and like the victim, but she is a monster! She's just... jealous because we're together."Bruno's jaw dropped."Hold on-are you saying she hit you because she was jealous?""Yes!" Kathy snapped."Well, that's interesting. It made my day... much, much better..." He smirked."What are you talking about?" Kathy replied impatiently."I mean, knowing that Beau
CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH ON WHICH SIDE
A few of them coughed to cover their chuckles, while others glanced at each other, sharing silent gossip with raised eyebrows but tightly pressed lips to keep from laughing out loud.Kathy stormed toward Bruno's office to report, her broken heel causing her to limp slightly."It wasn't even a fair fight. She knew she was going to win with that stinking weight," she muttered to herself."She will pay for the damages. I'll make sure she pays for every damn scratch on my skin!"Without a second thought, she flung open Bruno's office door, limping inside and slamming it behind her.Bruno looked up, startled. He stared at her, from her disheveled hair to her missing shoe, with her toe pressing on the ground and the sole barely hanging on."Halloween costume?""Haha, funny!" she snapped back, tears glistening in her eyes."What... what happened to you? I am absolutely speechless," Bruno said, trying hard to keep from laughing."That monster you call an employee! That fat whale, Beauty, atta
CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH BARKNG KATHY
Kathy turned to her, a bit surprised by the tone in her voice. She found Beauty smiling."Oh, I see, trying to seduce Mr. Bruno has given you some boldness.""You are just mad; I am better at it than you. You have been trying to seduce Mr. Bruno... well, you should stop forcing it. He just doesn't like you... he doesn't like skinny," Beauty replied boldly, giving her a look.Kathy scoffed, a bit triggered."I am not doubting it. You should walk the runway better too; I am sure people would love to see a hippopotamus on the runway."Beauty smirked."They can handle it; a walking skeleton is a lot scarier and weird."That triggered her even more."I am sure you are not referring to me as a skeleton, darling. You better not want to be my enemy.""I would never be your friend. I will take being your enemy as a compliment, and before you threaten me, you should eat more; I did crush you with my weight.""Oh, I see you've been taking therapy sessions. Someone must have told you that you are
CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH UNEXPECTED OUTCOME
She found Bruno and Kathy in an awkward, close position that looked somehow intimate.Kathy's hands rested on Bruno's shoulder, her lips near his ear while his hand lightly clasped her wrist. Beauty was unsure if he was putting them on her or about to put them away from her.For Bruno to let Kathy get that close to him, something must be going on between them. Kathy may be a desperate type, but still, Bruno had kept his distance until now.Is he trying to move on with Kathy? Why Kathy?Kathy's eyes met Beauty's wet ones, and she smirked."Well," Kathy drawled, "how may we help you?"Beauty swallowed, fighting to keep her composure. She turned to Bruno, ignoring Kathy completely."Sir Bruno, may I speak with you privately? Could she excuse us?"The fact that she referred to him as Sir Bruno triggered him. But he had to swallow it anyway; he was the one who said they were over with the relationship between them.However, it seemed like she was moving ahead very fast. Too fast for him to
CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH WORTH FIGHTING FOR
The next day, Beauty woke up early, though it felt like she hadn't slept at all. She had tossed and turned through the night, her mind a swirl of thoughts and frustrations.Bruno had moved on so easily, and that thought alone left her feeling heartbroken.To make things worse, her mother kept bringing up Eric, talking about how handsome he was and how they would make a nice couple.Could Eric really be the one who has been sending those gifts and supportive notes? Beauty wondered.She had tried asking Bruno once, and he had said the gifts were from him. But now, thinking back on it, maybe he said it just to take credit for something sweet.Bruno isn't that type of person, she thought.Her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. It was Jessie calling.She sighed and answered on the second ring."Hello...""How are you feeling?" Jessie asked softly."Better. Thanks for yesterday. I'll be on my way to the company soon," Beauty replied."All right. I'll see you soon. Take care," Jessie sai
