CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER FIVE
Anika’s P.O.V Three months had passed since my introduction ceremony, and everything in my life had been going well except for my relationship with my sister. I reflected on the conversation we had on Saturday, the day after my congregation when we visited her at her boarding school. *** Andrea reluctantly entered the car and slammed the door. She plopped onto the backseat, her eyes glued to her phone. It was surprising she agreed to come with us in the first place, as she normally wouldn’t. I considered it an improvement and hoped it would last. I drove us to the best restaurant in the area, not far from her school. No one said a word during the drive, which made it awkward. It was strange to see how we were acting like strangers even though we were family, but there was nothing I could do about it. Once inside the restaurant, we were led to the table I had reserved earlier. We sat down, and almost immediately, a waiter came to take our order. I asked for a simple meal, and

Kelvin’s P.O.V I couldn't believe it when the CEO accused me of being a stalker simply because I accidentally entered her office. I had stayed overnight to finish my work and needed something to keep me awake. I mistakenly pressed the wrong button on the elevator while trying to get snacks from another floor, and didn't realize my mistake until I arrived. I should have trusted my instincts and stayed away from unfamiliar areas, but I foolishly did the opposite and it led me to be labeled as a creep. It was clear that I couldn't win her over; she disliked me and wouldn't believe anything I said. "I'm sorry," I reluctantly admitted. I probably should have stood up for myself, but I was exhausted at that point. Even if I decided to defend myself, it wouldn't change her opinion of me. I thought I had done a good job of avoiding her these past few months, but fate managed to bring us together and put me in a terrible situation whenever I was around her. “You’re sorry? Do you thin

Anika’s P.O.V "Are you certain this is accurate?" I questioned the head of finance, studying the company's account statement form. "Yes, ma'am. The company's funds are missing a total of five hundred million dollars, and we have yet to track it down but I assure you that we will do everything within our power to locate where it went to and bring the money back," the man replied. However, his statement failed to alleviate my concerns; instead, it stoked the flames of frustration within me which turned into anger. "You better find it. I expect results by tomorrow. If not, you and your team will be terminated. I can't believe hackers were able to breach our account. What's the point of having you oversee the company's finances if anyone can easily steal from me? I don't still understand how the fuck they were able to access the account easily without alerting our security measures," I demanded. "They were professionals, ma'am," he admitted. "And are you not a professional? I hired y
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER EIGHT
Anika’s P.O.V "The finance manager is innocent. He had nothing to do with the missing money; his only mistake was being careless with the company's account," I was informed. "Alright, tell them to release him. You can go," I dismissed them, releasing a sigh as I watched them leave. It had been three weeks, and there was still no progress on the fraud case. The theft had taken a toll on the company, and we were all working tirelessly to recover the stolen funds without raising any suspicions. But so far, our efforts have been in vain. I was doing my best, but it wasn't enough. We needed to brainstorm and find a way to recoup the money before the news got out to the public. That was why I was currently in a meeting with all the department managers, trying to come up with strategies to boost our company's sales and recover the missing funds as quickly as possible. "We could extend employees' working hours to catch up," one of the higher-ups suggested. "But that would mean overwork
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER NINE
Kelvin’s P.O.V As soon as I finished getting dressed following my shower, my landline phone rang. I answered it. “Hello?” I greeted the person on the other end of the line. "Hi, Mr. Anderson, this is Rebecca from the front desk. You have a guest named Anika Downs. She claims to be your boss and wants to see you. Should I allow her in?" the receptionist inquired. I was taken back by the unexpected visit. ‘What is she doing here?’ I pondered. It didn't make sense for the CEO of a highly esteemed company to show up at my apartment hours after publicly humiliating me. "Are you still there, Mr. Anderson?" I snapped out of my thoughts. "Yes, please let her in," I permitted. "Alright, I'll send her up," she confirmed. "Thank you, and have a good day," I hung up the phone. I rubbed my forehead and let out a sigh. That woman was perplexed. I wouldn't allow her actions or words to affect me. I intended to handle the situation perfectly and not tolerate any further insults from her.
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER TEN
Anika’s P.O.V I stopped jogging when I saw a café nearby. I headed towards it, craving caffeine after my run and I needed it for the work I was going to be doing at the office. Entering the café, I ordered coffee and found a seat by the window. As I sipped my drink, I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, accompanied by soft, soothing background music. Fortunately, the café wasn't crowded, so there was minimal noise and disturbance from the few people around me which was barely any disturbance. Lost in my thoughts, I felt a tap on my shoulder, interrupting my peace. I turned back to see my cheating, backstabbing, money-hungry ex-boyfriend Richard, who had betrayed me and caused me so much pain. Choking on my coffee, I coughed uncontrollably. Richard took the coffee from my hand and helped calm me down by patting my back. Once I regained my composure, I ignored him and shrugged his hands off me. I needed time to process his unexpected presence. I wondered how he ended up in the sa
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER ELEVEN
Kelvin's P.O.V We were in the elevator together again, but this time, when the elevator stopped, we headed to her office together. Since we would be working closely, I found out that I would have to share her office. Internally, I groaned at the thought of spending two months with her as if seeing her face once a week wasn't enough. I was definitely going to get in trouble with her. I regretted agreeing to help her. I wished I could take back my statement, but it was too late. She had already informed every board member of my decision, and now I was stuck working with her for at least the next two months. She entered her office, and I followed suit. "This is my office; I'm sure you're already familiar with it," she gave me a look as she dropped her purse on her desk. There was no need for her to remind me of that moment. It was embarrassing to think back to the time when I was considered a creep. "And that is your desk space," She pointed to an office seat identical to hers, not
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER TWELVE
Kelvin’s P.O.V It was the following day, and I found myself standing in front of her office door, contemplating whether or not to enter. Uncertainty lingered within me, unsure of how she would react after the events of the previous day. Taking a deep breath, I prepared to knock on the door when I caught a glimpse of her voice behind me. "Anderson, you're late," she uttered as she passed by, opening her office door and entering. "I'm only a minute late," I retorted, trailing after her. "Nevertheless, it's still tardiness," she replied, causing me to internally roll my eyes before taking my seat. As I observed her settling down and engrossing herself in her computer work, I noticed that she appeared fine as if yesterday's occurrences had never taken place but I still wanted to be sure if she was alright. "Are you alright?" I inquired, causing her to instantly face me. "Pardon?" "I mean, you seemed rather peculiar yesterday, and-" “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Anderso
