CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Kelvin’s P.O.V It was a shock to hear the words of the waiter from the ceremony night. I realized I should refer to him as Mr. London, as he claimed. With Anika's reaction, I understood why she was upset. Anika still hadn't returned, and it didn't seem to bother "Fred London." He sat with his feet on the CEO's desk, playing games on his phone. I began to doubt his true identity. "So, Mr. Fred…" I started a conversation to verify his identity. He sighed, paused his game, and turned to me, indicating that I should continue. "I apologize if what I'm about to say offends you, but I need you to prove that you are truly the Fred London whom our company needs. Finding Fred London is nearly impossible, and doing business with him is notoriously difficult. So, it's hard for me to believe that he would simply show up here and request a partnership with the same company he recently rejected. I find it hard to believe," I said, observing his face for any signs of annoyance, but there were non
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Kelvin’s P.O.V The next day arrived quickly, and I woke up early with an ear-to-ear grin because of the upcoming date with Nicole. I had stayed up late the night before, unable to contain my excitement. Since it was the weekend, I had plenty of time to prepare. As I started my day, I heard a buzz from my phone, indicating that I had received a new message. I eagerly grabbed my phone and saw that I had two messages, one from Anika and the other from Nicole. Naturally, I clicked on Nicole's message first. ‘Good morning handsome. I hope you are getting ready for our date.’ I couldn't help but smile as I prepared my response. ‘Good morning to you too! I am more than ready for our date. I couldn't stop thinking about it last night, I was so excited.’ After hitting send, I turned my attention to Anika's text. ‘Mr. Anderson, I am incredibly grateful for the help you provided me with. It was thanks to you that I was able to make contact with Fred London. I am forever indebted to you fo
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER NINETEEN
Anika’s P.O.V The telephone on my desk rang and I picked it up. My secretary informed me that the new head of finance had arrived. I summoned him into my office, and he wasted no time in coming in. His presence signaled some information about the company's fraud case and I desperately hoped for good news. It had been over a week since we signed the business deal with Fred London, and so far, luck had not been on our side concerning the case even though every other thing was getting better. As he stood in front of me, I felt a mix of anticipation and anxiety. "Let me guess, you still don't have any information on the person who stole my money?" I guessed. "Actually, no-" His response piqued my interest, and I urged him to continue. "We have discovered some useful information," he said, opening the laptop he had brought with him. Kelvin joined us and watched as the man showed us the evidence. "If you look closely, you can see a hand in the corner," he pointed out. It was a bare
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER TWENTY
Anika’s P.O.V "What?!" I exclaimed, shocked. "I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. Riley Thomas was the one caught on camera sneaking into the finance office," he said, showing me the CCTV footage. I watched the video in disbelief. He was right. The missing part of the video earlier on was replaced with Riley entering the finance secret room, where all the confidential information of ADOWNS was stored by using the VIP's MasterCard. After a while, she walked out carrying documents containing private company information. I was speechless, unable to grasp what I was seeing. It was Riley all this time, she was the one who had been stealing my money and she was right under my nose. I should have realized she was the culprit, but she fooled me with her innocent face and calm demeanor It would be a sin to assume she was capable of such. This was why I despise trusting people. "That backstabber..." I cursed. "How could you give me a thief as my assistant? I thought the company
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Kelvin’s P.O.V "Let's go on a trip, just the two of us. It would be fun," Nicole suggested as she rested her head on my thigh. We were finally together. We hadn't seen each other in a while due to my busy schedule. "Babe, you know I'm busy and can't take a day off from work," I explained, hoping she would understand where I was coming from. "Can't you just try, for me?" she pleaded, looking at me with her doe eyes. I wanted to agree with her right there, but I couldn't. I was still Anika's assistant and as her assistant, I had a lot of work piling up every day. I couldn't afford to take a break, taking time off would only mean more workload for me. "Babe, I can't…" "Please, for me?" she held my hands, and I sighed. This is going to be hard. "Please, Kelvin," she coaxed. "Or don't you love me?" she asked with a pout and I raised my brows, wondering why she would say such a thing. "I do, but why would you ask that?" I questioned, knowing fully well what she was trying to do,
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Anika’s P.O.V I felt a twinge of concern when Kelvin informed me that he wanted a week off for himself. Honestly, I wanted to decline his request and make him work for me, but that would have been unkind. After all, he had been incredibly helpful to me and my company, so it seemed fair to agree to his terms. Kelvin was a lucky guy, he gets to take leisurely breaks while I am stuck here. As much as I wished I could take a break too, it simply wasn't feasible. Being the owner of ADOWNS meant that the workload would pile up in my absence, and without an assistant, it would only increase. So, I had to navigate through this week alone without Kelvin's support. The following day, I found myself engrossed in work, tackling everything on my own. It made me realize how lonely and quiet my office had become without Kelvin's presence. To be honest, I missed his company; he had a way of lightening the atmosphere with his jokes, making everything lively. Now, everything felt gloomy without
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Kelvin’s P.O.V I woke up with my body aching all over. I shouldn't have agreed to Nicole's ridiculous request in the first place. I should have declined, but it doesn't matter anymore; what's done is done, and there's no solution to it. My phone rang, and I picked it up, sliding it open to see who was texting me. It was Nicole. The message read: "Morning babe, hope you slept well and dreamt of me. I enjoyed our camping trip and hope we can do it again." I sighed. Days into our "alone" time, Nicole suddenly requested us to go camping, even though I had to agree because she made it an issue, and I didn't want any problems. To answer her texts, I did not enjoy camping; it was quite stressful. From climbing up the hill with heavy loads on my back to staying up all night in the camp because those mosquitoes wouldn't quit disturbing me. Nicole slept like a baby inside the tent, and I had to stay up, guarding the place because I felt paranoid about the whole environment. I read enough
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Anika’s P.O.V I dismissed my new male assistant after our conversation. Yes, I chose a male assistant this time, as it would make it easier for me not to trust them fully. His name was Greg, and he possessed all the required qualifications and skills, which I swiftly selected after his interview. Additionally, his clean record was a bonus. Greg proved to be observant and obedient. His punctuality this morning caught me off guard, making me feel foolish as he waited for me in front of my office. I resolved to ensure such incidents wouldn't happen again. After signing his contract and NDA, I explained all his duties, and he agreed to everything. He even demonstrated his competence by sorting out some documents when I handed them to him for testing. I must say, he was qualified, and I was satisfied with his performance. Later, Greg left my office, I rested my head on my chair, and thoughts of Kelvin filled my mind. I couldn't help but wonder why he seemed angry during our morning in
