The next day, Bruno walked into the company, he was the most punctual as always, but this time he had something on his mind.

He glanced towards Beauty's desk.

*I guess she will be at work today. I asked her to take a day off after all*

He sighed.

"Good morning, Mr. Handsome!"

Someone cuts into his thoughts.

Bruno looked up, and his gaze followed the voice.

He found Jessie dressed to kill as always.

He knew her as a close friend of Beauty, actually her only friend. Also for her similarities with his sister Abigail.

*Should I ask her about Beauty? Not a good idea*

He nodded at her and she winked back.

As wild as always.

"Good morning, Mr. Bruno!"

Another greeting smiling like a fish.

That's Miss Charlotte. The main custom designer's assistant, she is always fangirling over Bruno. So he knows better to ignore her and avoid any drama.

Bruno simply smiled back and walked into his office.

Trying to focus, he went through the typed works yesterday and found some errors from Beauty's works.

  • CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH   OPEN CONFESSION

    She was at her desk discussing with Jessie when she heard Maya's soft, melodic voice calling Bruno's name."Well look at that, Bruno is openly getting a love confession, such a brave little spoiled girl. I heard she is from a famous family. Now it's like a tradition of heartbreaks... No one warned her that Bruno hates public display".Jessie whispered to Beauty trying to make a joke of the situation, but Beauty was too disturbed to take it lightly.Her heart was pounding harder and harder.*Look at that tiny waist and hips, Maya is a god's work of art!*"Mr. Bruno," Maya said, her tone sweet yet confident, "I know this might be unexpected, but I can't keep these feelings to myself any longer."She took a deep breath, her cheeks tinged with a delicate blush. "I admire you so much. You're kind, intelligent, and everything I've been looking for. I just... I wanted you to know how I feel. I think .... I know I have fallen for you. I want you to give me a chance."Bruno was a bit embarras

    Beauty watched Bruno leave the place, and slammed his office door after him.*He must be pissed by all of that*"Your love is angry, won't you do something?"Jessie whispered, cutting into Beauty's thoughts, and hit her on the arm playfully."Ouch!"Beauty cried out sharply flexing her arm."Oh my gosh did it hurt so much, I am sorry".Jessie gasped, looking worried.Before Beauty could respond, they were interrupted by a high-pitched voice."Fatty, cancel my schedule for next week? I am traveling to Paris with my boyfriend".Kathy was standing right in front of Beauty's desk with her pet cat in her arms.Jessie was flabbergasted.First, Beauty is not even her assistant to cancel her next week's appointments and also why telling her the details and purpose of all that, Vacation with her boyfriend."Kathy, my name is Bea...".Beauty paused, unable to complete it, because of her insecurities, especially when dealing with one of them, her bullies."Bea ... what? Oh! You are smart, I was

    "They said, Kathy dumped him, he is not too good in bed and also not her type that's why".Jessie continued."Please don't tell me about their relationship".Beauty pleaded with Jessie as the two ex lover birds continued arguing."It's either you choose to work here or your vacation, whatever".Fred's voice thundered."You're not even the boss of this company, Bruno is, yet you don't see him boss people around, Jerk".Kathy snapped back in annoyance."Maybe the Manager sounds like a joke to you, I dare you to leave this company without a permit".Fred threatened, and that triggered her.They continued arguing.His assistant cuts in"Sir""What!"Fred snapped back like a wounded lion.Kathy flipped her hair, elegantly, petting her cat unbothered."The meeting time".She replied respectfully.Fred walked out of the department angrily, followed by his assistant."Well, that was a good fight".Jessie whispered, climbing down her hair with her fingers.Just then an announcement over the in

    Bruno walked in at that exact moment."Excuse us for a few minutes. Seeing your body size discourages these girls from keeping fit. They won't take the training seriously. When it's time to talk about designs, I'll call you. No offense," Fred said to her.Not even a pin drop could be heard after that. Everyone was shocked.What a statement!Not even Jessie dared challenge him after that remark, though she wanted to. He had the power to end her career right then and there.Beauty glanced at each of her colleagues around the table. A few of them felt bad for her; others were amused.The ladies had smooth skin, beautiful chins, nice figures, and gorgeous hair, all dressed in fashionable crop tops, well.... except her.She looked like a nursing mother with her double chin. She was too ashamed to glance at Bruno, afraid of seeing his reaction. What if he felt the same as the others?Better to keep her fragile heart safe."Yes, sir," Beauty nodded slowly.Jessie's face turned pale. She clea

    "My relationship with her is none of your business."Bruno's eyes were cold, his posture tense and intimidating as he stepped closer to Fred, making him shrink back against the wall.Fred swallowed hard, realizing he had made a mistake by provoking Bruno. But his ego wouldn't let him back down."Did she bribe you to defend her? I don't want to imagine the gross moment when she had to pull off her clothes. I love women too, but I have standards... even if it's for one-night stands.""Are you done?" Bruno asked almost immediately interrupting him.Fred chuckled nervously, tucking his hands into his pockets, waiting for a reaction."Yes... yes, I am."Bruno stepped closer and smiled. The smile drained all the courage from Fred and replaced it with fear.It was a different Bruno. No one in the company had ever seen him smile like that.His smile is so evil. Did he do that on purpose to scare me? Dang it, it's working, Fred thought, clenching his fists nervously.Bruno towered over Fred li

    "Try me."Fred swallowed hard, his entire body trembling under Bruno's gaze."Okay, okay! I... I didn't mean anything by it! Just... calm down, alright? I won't say anything about her again. I swear."Bruno finally stepped back, his cold aura melting away, though his eyes still held a dangerous edge."See that you don't," he said quietly, starting to walk towards the exit. "Because next time, there won't be any warnings. You can insult me, but not her."Fred scoffed in disbelief."Really, dude!" he muttered, still terrified, but he had to protect his pride.The next sound he heard, apart from his pounding heart, was the loud bang of the door.Bruno had left the room.Fred swallowed and slowly raised his hand to his face."What the hell was that? My whole body was shaking like a leaf. That fool, if only he weren't the son of Hathaway..." He clenched his pink palm tightly."What a simp!"---Beauty went home that day, enduring yet another round of humiliation. She had a dull, throbbing

    "Jess, I'm so sick. I have fever,my body is so hot, I feel like I could die. My parents aren't home, and I need you. Please come, urgently, if you can. Please if you can get some drug from a pharmacy, however if you can't I will understand."She hit send, hoping Jessie would come quickly.Curling back into her blankets, she closed her burning eyes, hoping the fever would break soon.Then, she remembered the door was locked. Her body was weak, her muscles heavy as if weighed down by bricks, but she knew she had to keep the door open in case Jessie arrived.She pressed her lips together and forced herself out of bed, her legs trembling. Each step felt like she was dragging herself through thick mud, her legs wobbly and unsteady.Her breath came in shallow gasps as she moved slowly across the room, clutching the wall for support. She nearly stumbled but caught herself, her fingers gripping the doorframe tightly.She reached the front door, using the last bit of her strength to unlock it.

    Just seeing her name felt urgent, leaving him worried. Something tugged at him, and without thinking twice, he tapped on the message.His eyes widened as he read her text."Jess, I'm so sick. I think it's fever. It's so bad I feel like I could die. My parents aren't home, and I need you. Please come, urgently, if you can. I can't even see the alphabets clearly to type. Can you save me? If you can't, I will understand."Bruno froze when his gaze landed on the time the message was received.Then he jumped to his feet."An hour ago?!" he screamed internally, panicking as he rushed to his wardrobe to change.An hour had passed since she sent the message. Beauty must have been waiting, thinking Jessie was ignoring her. Not knowing she had accidentally sent it to him instead. Worse, she was home alone.Without wasting another second,Bruno grabbed his jacket and keys and rushed out the door.He dialed her number, hoping she would pick up, so he could reassure her that he was on his way.Unf

  • CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH   A WILD BUNNY

    Mr. and Mrs. Hills were cooking together in the kitchen, talking about their daughter, Beauty, and her boyfriend, Bruno. But their conversation was interrupted by the doorbell ringing.Mr. Hills stood up quickly and volunteered to get the door.The door rang again."Hold on!"He shouted and walked to the door. He thought it was Beauty or maybe her friend Jessie, who had come to check on her, just like Eric.But when Mr. Hills opened the door, he froze on the spot.Standing there was a young woman who looked exactly like his daughter, Beauty. She had the same pale skin, the same eyes, and the same long, shiny hair.She looked just like Beauty, except she was thinner. Where Beauty was soft, rounded in places with a natural, effortless beauty, this young lady was slimmer, her features sharper but still very identical.It was like looking at a mirror image of Beauty.She also seemed more into fashion and glamorous accessories and could pass for a supermodel, Mr. Hills thought.He blinked,

    "Baby."Beauty's heart skipped a beat at the sound of Bruno's voice, pulling her from the whirlwind of thoughts that had consumed her. She blinked and found him standing outside the car, his strong hand extended toward her. For a moment, she just stared at him, her cheeks warming. How long had she been sitting there, lost in her head? She hadn't even noticed him get out of the car.Her lips parted, and a small awkward smile spread across her face. She placed her hand in his, and he gently helped her out of the car."Thank you," Beauty whispered, her voice trembling slightly.As she stepped down, her eyes went to the towering Hathaway mansion in front of her, a breathtaking display of luxury and grandeur. Bruno held her hand as they walked into the house. Beauty's heart was racing with anticipation and nerves. She was going to meet the Hathaway family, and she would be introduced as Bruno's girlfriend!"Something's not right..." Bruno murmured to himself.Just then, the butler approa

    Beauty stood in her room, her heart racing with excitement as she applied a light coat of lip gloss. She reached for the body spray, misting it over her shoulders and collarbone before slipping into her wine-colored lingerie. The silk fabric hugged her curves, accentuating her figure. She pulled a satin robe over it, the soft material brushing against her skin as she tied it loosely at her waist.Taking a deep breath, she moved toward the door, her footsteps light and quiet. But as she reached for the doorknob, pulled the door open only to see her mother in front of her door... about to knock.Her stomach dropped."Mo... Mom!" she gasped, her voice trembling.Mrs. Hills stood in the dimly lit hallway, her eyes puffy with sleep yet sharp with curiosity."What... are you doing here, you scared me!"Mrs. Hills crossed her arms, her gaze traveling from Beauty's flushed face to her barely tied robe."Where are you going? It's 1 a.m.""To... to the guest room. I was going to... check on Bru

    Just then, Mr. Hills walked into the kitchen, looking bewildered."Son, what in the world... What happened."Eric, standing off to the side, tried to hide a grin, but the corners of his mouth were twitching."Well, this is... awkward.""Stay out of this," Mr. Hills told Eric with a coldness that surprised even Beauty."I'll be in the living room," Eric said awkwardly and walked away from the kitchen.As Beauty and Mr. Hills stood there, assessing the damage with their eyes. Bruno stood awkwardly, still holding the blackened tray with the burnt wings. He looked as if he might collapse from the embarrassment.But to his surprise, Mr. Hills, with a soft chuckle, clapped him on the back, making Bruno's heart jump slightly."Okay, so it's not a total disaster," he said, his voice light with a touch of humor, trying to ease the tension. "You've got some good ones left here."He grabbed a few of the less-burnt wings off the tray."These will do just fine. Don't worry about it, son. You trie

    Bruno turned to her with a helpless expression on his face."I've got this. I just... need to decide what to make," he stuttered.Beauty bit her lip to keep from laughing."You don't have to do this, you know...""I've made up my mind. I will impress your dad with my skills."Beauty rolled her eyes."There are two Rolls Royces outside, Babe... They're already impressed. You're setting the bar too high. What would I do to impress your parents?"Bruno said nothing, focused on the food.Seeing his determination, Beauty sighed and walked over to the fridge, pulling out a pack of chicken wings and some basic seasonings."Here, start with these. Wings are a safe bet. I'll set everything out for you."Bruno nodded."Thanks," he muttered.Beauty laid the ingredients on the counter, tied a kitchen apron around him, and smiled proudly."How do I look?"Bruno asked posing."A chef's kiss," she said, demonstrating with a gesture then she took a picture of him.They both laughed."Here."

    Bruno scoffed, shaking his head."I don't like him. And I'm not gay."Beauty blinked."Is he gay?""Who knows?"Bruno shrugged. Beauty rolled her eyes."What does being gay have to do with this? You don't have to like him like that. I mean, get along with him as a normal person.Maybe even be friends."Bruno frowned."I don't want friends, Beauty. You know that. I'm not the type to...hang out with random people. I'm an introvert, remember?""I know, my love. But you need a friend. And Eric... you can't just glare at him the whole time. My parents are watching. Please, just try. Not as close friends, but... try to be friendly and get along with him."Bruno exhaled sharply, rubbing the back of his neck. He met her gaze and saw the pleading in her eyes. Finally, he relented with a grumble. "Fine. I'll try. But if flirts with you, jokeor not ..then I will..""He won't dare".Beauty assured him with a smile.Bruno rolled his tongue and nodded, then pulled her for a kiss."Come on, let's

    OutsideAs soon as they were out of earshot, Bruno grabbed Eric roughly by the arm, pulling him a few steps away from the door. His jaw was set, and his eyes burned with barely contained anger."What's your deal, huh? What the hell are you doing here? Did you get paid to ruin my day with Beauty? Or is this just some pathetic attempt to get her attention? I warned you before ...she is mine...what games are you playing?"Eric raised his hands in surrender."Relax, man. I'm not here to steal your girl. I just wanted to welcome her. Thought it'd be a nice gesture."Bruno's eyes narrowed in irritation."A nice gesture? Showing up uninvited, with flowers, to my girlfriend's parents' house while I'm here? That's not a gesture,you are intentionally trying to get on my nerves,today is supposed to be an important day for us...you have no place here".Eric smirked, crossing his arms." Look, I didn't know you'd be here. I came for Beauty, not you. What's your problem? Feeling a little overprotec

    Mrs. Hills glanced at the living room. Beauty's expression said it all."I'm sorry... but I don't think Beauty will want to...""Pardon me, Mrs. Hills, but I'm well aware of her relationship with Bruno Hathaway. We're just friends."Mrs. Hills' eyes widened in surprise."Oh, I see. Well, come on in, dear."Eric stepped inside, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on Beauty."Beauty! It's good to see you," he said, then glanced at Bruno.Seeing the jealous expression on Bruno's face, Eric smirked to himself.Beauty stared at him, dumbfounded, her mouth slightly open."Eric? What... why are you here?" she muttered."Who is this?" Mr. Hills asked, but before Beauty could reply, Eric interjected."Hey, is that the new Barcelona jersey?" Eric said, referring to the polo Mr. Hills wore.Mr. Hills perked up, his smile widening."Sure is. I'm a big fan of the team."Eric grinned and gestured to himself."Same here!

    As Mr. and Mrs. Hills guided Beauty and Bruno to the dining table, Mrs. Hills beamed uncontrollably."I made this especially for you two. Please, take a seat," she said warmly.Once they were all seated, Mrs. Hills placed a hand delicately on the edge of the table, tilting her head as if piecing together a puzzle."Forgive me, dear," she began, her voice gentle but curious, "but you look so familiar. I feel like I've seen you before, but I can't quite place it."She addressed Bruno, who gave her a nervous smile. Beauty glanced from Bruno to her parents, thinking fast.Mr. Hills nodded, leaning forward slightly."Same here. Have we met before, son?"Bruno managed a polite smile, but before he could respond, Beauty cleared her throat, her cheeks tinged with a slight blush."Actually, Mom, Dad, you probably recognize him because...that must be because he brought me home with his car sometime ago, he's Bruno Hathaway. He's my boss's son."The room fell silent for a moment.Mrs. Hills' eye
