CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Anika’s P.O.V I continued eating as Kelvin abruptly stood up and ran outside to goodness knows where. I didn't care where he was going; it wasn't my concern. I felt a sense of relief when he left the table. I had been on edge around him since yesterday when he saw me in my vulnerable state if it wasn't intentional. I had been overwhelmed by everything happening in my life lately, and that was why I switched up to that state. I needed to calm myself down and make sure no one else knew about that problem. I didn't want anyone, not even my mom, to know that I was struggling. It was embarrassing that the person who witnessed it was someone I disliked but I had to get over it and pretend such an event never happened. I knew I needed help, but I couldn't bring myself to seek it, not when I was busy with the demands of my dad's company and trying to fix the issue at hand. I could only hope that Anderson would keep what he saw a secret. My phone suddenly rang, interrupting my thoughts. I
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Anika’s P.O.V "How?" I asked him, hoping he was telling the truth. "It's a long story. I'll give you a brief tomorrow at the office," he replied. "Alright, if you say so. I trust you'll do a great job." "Yes, I will. Thank you for trusting me. I've got to go now," he said, about to hang up when I stopped him. "Yes?" he answered. "Thank you for the effort you've put into this project," I said, surprising myself with the compliment. I felt like he needed to hear it, perhaps it would motivate him further. "Hmm... no problem, I'm always happy to help," he replied, sounding a bit awkward. It was clear that he wasn't used to my compliments yet. I hadn't been a bad person to him, right? "Alright then, see you tomorrow," I hung up. "Wow, who's making you smile like that?" Laura asked, catching me off guard. "What?" I hadn't even realized I was smiling. I quickly dropped the smile. "I mean, you've been frowning since you got here and suddenly when you received that phone call, you s

Anika’s P.O.V The day of the gathering had finally arrived and I couldn't tear my eyes away from the mirror. I wanted to make sure I was pretty for the ceremony that would be happening soon. I was already in my dress and I knew I looked good, but I couldn't help feeling nervous about everything. I didn't know who Fred was, all I knew was that he would be at the gathering and it was stressing me out. I needed everything to be perfect. Luckily, I had brought Anderson along to do the searching and everything for me. I didn't have to worry about embarrassing myself in front of Fred if we even found him. I was interrupted from my thoughts by a knock on my bedroom door. "Come in," I said, and my mother entered. "So... a man is waiting for you downstairs," she informed me. "Oh, it must be Anderson. Please tell him I'm almost ready and I'll join him soon," I replied, still staring at myself in the mirror. "Alright," she said to me but she wasn't making any effort to leave, she kept stari
CEO's SECOND CHANCE CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Anika’s P.O.V “You're sick," I told him. I expected him to be sad after getting fired because of me, but he seemed to be the opposite. "I know, people tell me that all the time." He tossed his cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his foot. "Well, it was nice meeting you, but I have to go now. Bye," he said, as he tried to leave, but I blocked his way. He groaned. "What do you want from me now, princess?" he rolled his eyes. "Will you accept my apology?" I asked. "I do. Now, can you please let me leave?" He turned to go the other way, but I blocked that path too. "Why don't you just let me go in peace? You've cost me my job, and I had to forgive you. What more do you want?" "I mean, that apology wasn't right. I shouldn't have done what I did. I'm sorry," I sincerely said to him. He gave me a skeptical look. "Do you mean it?" he asked. "I do." "You're not just faking an apology so I won't ruin your perfect image?" He raised an eyebrow. "No, I swear," I insisted. He cl

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
