Goodnight

”Yes. Ros. I’ll be needing that.”

My lips are in a thin line.. For the whole trip back to his penthouse, my mind became busy. All I did was to listen to Elijah having calls every now and then. The next thing I knew, I woke up with Elijah’s calling.

”Emma,” he whispered.

I opened my eyes and saw him standing and leaning at me at the open car’s door. His face is inches away from me.

”We’re home.”

I blinked my eyes realizing that I had a nap on our way home. His fingers ran into my hair while still in the same position. My heart pounded a bit, and I don’t even know why.

”Hmm,” I shrugged and started to move. He helped me get out o

  Whatever that kiss may mean, it was nothing. I expected worse actually. Sure, he makes me a bit nervous every time he’s around but maybe that’s just because I’m intimidated and my reflexes as well because of past experiences. ”Are you going now?” I asked when he stood up after eating the breakfast that I prepared. He looked down on me and it seems like the amusement on his face will be forever embedded when he’s talking to me. ”Yes. I have an early meeting.” ”Uh, alright.” I pursed my lips. I stood as well and started to fix the plates. Deep inside, I am rejoicing. I’ve been waiting for him to leave. I busied myself in the kitchen and like usual, I felt his presence on my back, I didn’t react and just continued washing the plates. ”You don’t always have to wash the plates. I can make my house help do that.” My m

• Fooling the CEO   Will never do that

  The days passed just like that. With the same routine and the same act of pretending and going undercover. Sometimes I would talk to Lulu, when she’s not busy. I ask for updates and sometimes, I just want to have someone to talk to. Meanwhile, Elijah is still the same. What’s between us stays the way it is. And that’s unusual for someone who just paid millions for a fuck buddy. Lulu is right. But as I've said, that is more favorable than me. I’ll just focus on what I must be doing while he’s still preoccupied. ”I’m still in the process of looking for him. I went into your house but it seems like nobody lives there.” Lulu said, one time when I called her. ”Of course.” He might have left by now. ”You think he moved out?” ”That’s what I thought too.” That’s how far I’ve known. With the phone I have there’s on

  Whatever it is that he said. I tried not to dwell much on it. I don’t want to lose when I’m not even starting yet. ”How was your day?” I looked at him when he suddenly opened a topic in the middle of supper. I don’t know why he’s suddenly been friendly to me these past few days, but maybe also because I’m casual to him? I don’t know. I’ll just fake it till I make it.“Fine. How about you?”He didn’t answer me, he just had this slight smile on his lips. I shrugged and continued eating. ”I’ll be leaving for the countryside this weekend. There’s a business matter I need to attend to.” I listened to him. Though I didn’t know why he’s suddenly saying this to me I just nodded. ‘That’s fine then. No presence of you for days.’&rd

• Fooling the CEO   Are you Jealous Mr. Anderson?

  Going back to the car, I almost felt the raging fire that’s building in him. I slowly removed my fingers in his hands and that made him look at me. I glance at him and his hardened expression. Damn, he’s mad. He made some gestures with his hands, and with that Ros immediately handed him the key. I stood there watching them. He’s gonna drive?”Get inside.” he said coldly. I shrugged and walked into the other side of the car. Sibal opened the shotgun seat for me. I almost looked at him begging eyes. Seriously, I don’t want to be left with this man! I wore my seat belt silently and glanced at him once again. His hardened expression is still the same. I cursed myself inside my head. I know I’m trying to be hard-headed but I admit this is the wrong timing to do that. ”I’m sorry. I just wanted to g

• Fooling the CEO   Cousin

  We stayed in this one villa along the Long Beach area. It’s one of the places near the beach. I was entranced by seeing the beach for the very first time. A beach that I only see on television is now here in front of me. ”You should rest first. We’ll meet my colleagues later.” he said, still salty.I pursed my lips to stop my little smirk. He reached for the knob of the room. ”Where are you going?” ”In my room, beside yours.” I was a little startled. We were both quiet waiting for something to say, but no words came out from the both of us. ”I’ll go now.” I nodded lightly. As soon as he left, I spaced out thinking about things. Right, I thought we’ll sleep in the same room. It’s not that I assumed but it’s because it’s what I’m used to. You don’t expect those people to get a separate room for th

  He’s an orphan? That’s like having a glimpse of his life. That information can’t be found in any articles on the internet or in any tabloids and such.”You alright?” Elijah asked me.I just nodded as an answer. I don’t know why I’m suddenly awkward around him. We’re not in the group cottage, where the foods are served for early dinner. I didn’t talk much after that lying incident of mine cause I realized that I will just bury my own foot by doing that. All I should focus on is we’re here because Molly and Hugh are getting married.”Do you want this?” Elijah offered a dish.I didn’t look into his eyes. I just nodded again. I can feel his gaze on me. Maybe he’s curious by my sudden quietness.”Do you want more of this?” he asked again after min

• Fooling the CEO   Fiery

  I shut my mouth. But not because I got intimidated by him. Of course, I have my plans. I don’t want to push through his patience when I’m wanting to get his trust. Now, I’m trailing him from behind. Walking at the sand in front of the waves that’s crashing to the shore. I trail his steps silently. I’m like a kid trying to match my steps with his. I grinned because I find it funny how my foot is so small compared to his. ”Aww,” I bumped my head into a hard thing. When I lift my head it’s him that I saw. He raised his brows with a quirky smile. I did the same. ”What now?” I pouted. He rolled his eyes handsomely and smirked. He grabbed me by the wrist in seconds and then I was already beside him. He slid his fingers into mine in one swift move, clasping our hands together. My heart thumped in chaos. I wasn’t able to say anything but to just

• Fooling the CEO   Crave for my kisses

  I wish I could say that Mia’s reaction mattered. Because all the more, Mia’s reaction was not the first one I looked forward to after that kiss. All of his friends were cheering and teasing us. Meanwhile, our eyes were just stuck together. I can feel his warm breath as our faces were just inches away from each other. His eyes looked tired and soft as it fixed into my lips. My throat felt dry looking at him.What did I just do? That selfishness brought me into a crazy decision and now I feel worse. ”Aren’t we supposed to be the one being publicly affectionate? Guy, we are the once that are getting married, not the both of you!” I heard Molly’s teasing. That woke me up. I immediately shifted on my seat, allowing some space to happen. I can’t look at him after that foolish move of mine. I think I’m out of my mind! My eyes fixated on the woman who’s the reason for that foolishness. She looks c
