Mr. CEO, You Lost Me Too Late The Reception
CHAPTER FIFTYThe ReceptionAria's POVThe reception was everything Clara had planned and also completely different from everything Clara had planned, which seemed right.The room was warm and full and the flowers Nina had spent two weeks consulting on were exactly right, lush without being excessive, the kind of arrangement that looks effortless because someone cared enormously about it not looking like they cared. The food was good. Tobias's family were the kind of people who laughed easily and made room for others in their laughter, and by the time the starters were cleared I had spoken to Tobias's mother twice and his youngest brother once and felt like I understood where Tobias had come from.Alex and I were seated together, which was either by Clara's arrangement or by the logic of the day, and we ate and talked and occasionally didn't talk and both were fine.Tobias's best man gave a speech that was twenty percent heartfelt and eighty percent a structured attack on Tobias's var
Mr. CEO, You Lost Me Too Late The Aisle
CHAPTER FORTY NINEThe AisleAria's POVThe music started and the room stood and I stood with it and turned like everyone else.The doors at the back opened and Clara walked in on Alex's arm and I had seen the dress a dozen times by now, had watched it come into being from a rough sketch on a scrap of paper in Nina's living room, had pinned it and adjusted it and stood back from it in the studio light with Bisi and Tobias and Jerome, and still.Still.Something in my chest did the thing it did when a piece of work transcended the work itself and became simply real. Clara was walking toward the man she was going to marry and she looked like herself and the dress looked like her and the shoulder line I had spent three sessions arguing about with her was doing exactly what I had said it would do, and none of that was what made my eyes fill.What made my eyes fill was Alex.He was walking beside his sister with the particular measured steadiness he brought to things that required him to h
Mr. CEO, You Lost Me Too Late The Wedding Morning
CHAPTER FORTY EIGHTThe Wedding MorningAria's POVClara called at seven thirty."I need you here," she said. "Not because anything is wrong. I just need someone who isn't paid to be calm at me.""I'll be there in forty minutes," I said.Nina, from the doorway of my room, already dressed, coffee in hand, said, "I heard clearly. Go. I'll call a cab."I dressed quickly, which at twenty weeks required more negotiation than it used to, and stood in front of the mirror for a moment. I had bought something new for the wedding, a dress in a deep green that Nina had found and brought home two weeks ago without being asked, in exactly the right size, and hung on the back of my door without comment. I had put it on and said nothing and she had said nothing and that had been the entire transaction.I looked at myself in it now.The bump was visible. Not just visible, present, unmissable in the way that twenty weeks is unmissable when you stop trying to dress around it and just dress. The green s
Mr. CEO, You Lost Me Too Late What Kwame Needed
CHAPTER FORTY SEVENWhat Kwame NeededAria's POVI found him on Saturday morning sitting on the floor outside the studio door.Not inside. Outside, in the corridor, back against the wall, knees up, looking at his phone with the particular stillness of someone who is not actually looking at anything.Today was the day before Clara's wedding, which meant I had come in to do a final check on the collection fittings before taking tomorrow off, something Jerome had specifically instructed and which I had specifically intended to honour. The team wasn't supposed to be in at all.I stopped in the corridor."Kwame."He looked up. His eyes were red at the edges in the way that has nothing to do with tiredness."Sorry," he said immediately, starting to stand. "I wasn't going to come in. I just needed somewhere to...""Stay there," I said.He stayed. I sat down on the floor beside him, which took slightly more effort at twenty weeks pregnant than it used to, and leaned against the wall and waite
Mr. CEO, You Lost Me Too Late The Drive Home
CHAPTER FORTY SIXThe Drive HomeAria's POVHe drove me back.I hadn't asked him to. He had simply picked up his keys when I reached for my coat and said "I'll drive you" in the tone that was not quite a statement and not quite a question and which I had learned meant he had already decided but was leaving room for me to say no.I didn't say no.The city was quiet at that hour, the late-evening kind of quiet that belongs to a Friday when the earlier rush has settled and the night is still finding its pace. We drove without talking for a while and the silence was the good kind, warm from dinner, warm from the kitchen and the study and everything that had happened in the house tonight that neither of us was going to reduce to a summary.At a red light he looked across at me."How do you feel?" he asked."Good," I said. "Lighter than I expected.""What did you expect?""I don't know. Something harder. Going back there for the first time I thought I'd feel more of what I used to feel in i
Mr. CEO, You Lost Me Too Late Coming Home To Look
CHAPTER FORTY FIVEComing Home To LookAria's POVHe asked on Friday, two days before the wedding.Not to move back. Not as a decision. Just to come and look. Those were his exact words in the message, which I read at the studio during lunch while Kwame was telling Adaeze something about the ninth look that I was only half listening to.I've had the study cleared and the window fixed. I'd like you to see it before the wedding if you want to. Not to pressure anything. Just to see it. Come and look whenever you're ready.I read it twice. Then I put my phone down and went back to the fitting notes and thought about it for the rest of the afternoon without deciding anything.At five o'clock I texted him.I'll come tonight. After six.His reply was immediate.I'll be here.The house looked the same from the outside.Of course it did. Houses don't change their faces because the people inside them have changed. But I stood on the pavement for a moment before I went up the steps, just looking
Mr. CEO, You Lost Me Too Late Starting Again
Chapter Six – Starting AgainAria’s POVBy the time I arrived at Nina’s apartment, it was already dark outside.I stood quietly in front of her door for a few seconds, trying to calm myself down, but the moment she opened it and saw my face, her expression changed immediately.“Aria…”Her voice bec
Mr. CEO, You Lost Me Too Late Our Decision

Mr. CEO, You Lost Me Too Late Back To Them
Chapter Four _ Back To ThemAria’s POVI returned back to the table, I forced myself to act normal, to act as if nothing had happened between me and Alex.I sat quietly among them like nothing had happened earlier, like the words Alex had said at the back of the hotel meant nothing.But I was falli

Chapter Three – At The Back Of The HallAria’s POV“Let me go” I said, after he had dragged me into the back.My heart was hammering so loudly, I was sure people at the back could hear that clearly.His grip around my arm tightened, not enough to break skin, but enough to remind me he could.Not be
