Chasing The Broken CEO

Nathalie’s POV“Mom, I have cleared my schedule for this weekend as per your request.” I informed my mother who is sitting on her swivel chair with a document on her hand. It’s already evening yet she’s still working at home. She has her own office in our house. Well, my dad has his own, too. Hiding my hands at my back, I breathed in heavily and decided to walk near her office table. After a few seconds, she glanced my way and gave me a nod. “That’s great. I talked to Mrs. Zendejas and she agreed to set up a dinner date for you and her son, Evan. I’ll talk to her again and see if we can push that through this weekend.” She replied. I nodded and tried to put a smile on my face. “Do I need to prepare anything for the dinner date, Mom?” I asked her carefully. My mother looked down at the document on her hand again. She breathed deeply. I waited for her response but she ended up shaking her head. “I think you just have to be gorgeous when you meet him, Nathalie. You need to be prim

Nathalie’s POVDamn it! I was forced to wake up early the next day as my best friend, Chandria, kept calling me on my cellphone. She was too excited to know every details of my dinner date with that man, if that went well and how did I interact with Evan Zendejas. It was just seven o’clock in the morning and seriously, I was curious as to where she got all her energy.“What? Did you drool? I told you that he’s gorgeous and a head turner! Not to add that he’s one of the famous bachelors in the Philippines! I did a background check and found out that he doesn’t have a girlfriend and he couldn’t even move on from his first love, so he’s basically a loner! If I were you, I’d do my best to lure him and make him fall for me!” said Chandria, with an excitement evident in her voice.I rubbed my right eye and yawned. She kept providing a lot of information; however, I was too sleepy that my mind couldn’t catch up. I closed my eyes hoping for another nap and just put my phone on top of my ear e

Nathalie’s POV Silence engulfed us. I swore to God that the moment I see him, I will definitely beat the shit out of him! He chuckled on the line that made me so angry as hell. Riley walked towards me, who looked unsure about what he’d do with the situation. In the end, all he does is to run his fingers through his bald head. “Risha...” he called me huskily. Hearing him call me on my first name sends shiver up to my spine. No one has ever called me that way. It felt unfamiliar for a moment but I tossed this thought away. “Fuck you,” I breathed heavily. “I was just going to ask you a little time to have lunch with me and I am surprised that you denied me just like that.” “Let’s talk.” Yeah, we will talk! “I will kill you.” I said through my gritted teeth. He chuckled once again. This guy, really! My lips formed a thin line. I looked at the double doors on the right side of this table. That must be the door to his office. I didn’t waste time and walked my way to Evan’s

He’s not just a cruel guy, I guess. He’s also a great pretender, who showed kindness in front of my parents. Since they left us, he already removed his mask. Now, the evil Evan is back. “So what if I am mad at you?” I snorted. I crossed my arms and looked away. My eyes are unwilling to even glare back at him. He’s getting on my nerves! I reminded myself to calm down a bit. I don’t want to make any scene knowing that my parents are here and probably eavesdropping on us or whatnot. For sure, I wouldn’t like what might happen next the moment they hear me yelling at this guy. I heard him chuckle. What’s so funny? It’s strange how he can easily jump from one persona to another. He was just playing an angel role earlier and here’s how he behaves now that we’re alone. “I will make my employees aware that I have a fiancée,” he said in a soft tone. My lips parted as my eyes widened. I glanced back at him. Is

“See? I know you just want to make your parents happy. You mentioned before that they have plans for you and this must be your fate. We both know how much they want this arranged marriage to push through and they would be really disappointed if Evan would refuse just because you love your pride that much,” Chandria stated like she was discussing the whole truth. I gulped. “So, are you saying that I have to make a fast move on him? Would it not make me look like a desperate woman if I’d do that?” I carefully asked. She smirked at me and then crossed her arms against her chest. “Nathalie, you are not the one who’s desperate here. You’re not that type of person. The ones desperate would be your parents. You have to keep that in your mind,” she said meaningfully. My forehead creased. Chandria is giving me so many headaches because of her foul mouth! She’s right, though. I am not that desperate.
