23. Unsettling Feel
Jessica
"Not that I'm not glad that you're taking a day off with me, but I really think we should go to work."
"Jess, it's Friday almost weekend anyway, the Gala is not until next Thursday. Relax, we have employees paid for doing their jobs."
"But you're a control freak." I rolled my eyes at him, I learned about his work ethic when I looked into his company for the buy-out.
His workaholic attitude was one of the reasons why I chose to be bought out by his company. I know my people will have stability in their future, Tyler's dad had definitely raised his sons well.
"I think you broke me, lately I'm not focussing on my work." He rest his head on his hand, propped his elbow looking at me with a little smile on his face.
It was ten in the morning, we've had coffee, breakfast, we even had sex, twice. I was lying naked in his bed confused with what to do with t

TylerWe just got back from having dinner with my parents, where I was also checking up on dad knowing that mom might push him over the edge with the constant care while he's still being in an arm cast.There was a look in her eyes right after Jessica had a conversation with mom, she seemed uncomfortable because of it. But instead of talking to me about it, she told me that she's tired when we arrived at my place.I decided to let her go knowing that I need to talk to Larry. There were several miscalls from him, and usually, he texted if it's really urgent, so I gave him a call back while putting Jess's issue on the back of my mind."... her client, Brodie MacMillan, he's adamant that he wanted their account to be handled by Jessica instead of me, us. I know you told me that you don't like Brodie, so I did a background check, and turns out he was best buddies with her dead fucked up brothe
My CEO, My Temptation 25. The Gala
JessicaIt was the awaited day, the relaunched of the Robinson Finance. It was supposed to be a business relaunched, but somehow the marketing department decided to change it into a gala with a special orchestra performance, extra publicity, and a whole lot of guests.Tyler said we're showing people that the company was coming back with a bang. But they surely throw a lot of money into it that I was not comfortable with at some stage."I still think it's too much, and you wouldn't even let me peek at the cost, and... even Kayleigh couldn't get your finance to show her the rundown."Tyler looked at me smugly, he looked too damn handsome that I melt in his arms the second he pulled me in."The Richardson needs to show off their support, we are taking over what used to be one of the best financial companies in the country. Your father build it well, but your brother mad
My CEO, My Temptation 26. Clueless
TylerIt was Sunday, and I was getting agitated already, we haven't had a clue on who was responsible for the placement of the photos. The CCTV was conveniently unavailable in that part of the area. There was no way of knowing who actually put the envelope there."So, has Bruce reported anything? any leads?" Larry was coming over to my place, he would visit and chill on some random Sunday afternoon for a lazy time. But since Jessica, it's been a while since he'd come over to my place.He took the beer from my hand and sits his ass on the sofa, Jess was having her afternoon nap, while I have just finished a meeting with our security head Bruce Steward."Bruce said that it's most likely a woman's doing. It looked personal. He had cleared Brodie and some of her employees that she had to fire when the company had money issues. Even Elsie was cleared, now he's going on for another route, lookin
My CEO, My Temptation 27. Secret Message
Jessica"Boss, seriously, you should tell him. He's going to freak out when he finds out from his security guy."Kayleigh was waving the note in front of my face while she kept on reminding me of the danger of the situation."Kay, I'm perfectly safe, I'm staying at his place anyway and working beside his office. What could go wrong? Bruce's men are scattered around us and he even has a couple of them stationed outside the office.I was actually kind of surprised when Bruce laid out his security plan with Tyler and me. I didn't think so much manpower was going to be involved just to keep me unharmed. But obviously, Tyler would lock me in a glass cage if he could, he actually said it and I believed him one hundred percent.With that thought I was back to my loyal assistant who looked at me, giving me her judgemental face."...but he's in a freaking meeting a
My CEO, My Temptation 28. Unexpected
Tyler"Bruce, maybe your sources are wrong, you should double-check. There's no way...""Tyler, with all due respect, I've gone over this footage a dozen times already, and if we calculate the timing and the possibilities it all makes sense.""Don't you think it isn't too far-fetched? I thought she was abused, and now you're saying she loves him and wanted revenge?""She was his longest assistant before everything else happened and she was under the assumption that he was practicing BDSM stuff with her. She was covering the tracks really well, and if my guy didn't find out that she was a patient at a psychiatric hospital when she was still in high school, we wouldn't dig deeper.""But she said Troy had another assistant that she was hired by her?""Kayleigh lied, or in this case, she was telling her version of the truth. She has a case of DID, Dissociative
My CEO, My Temptation 29. Twisted Truth
Jessica"Kay, I thought we're going to your mom's?""Yeah, we're meeting her at her friend's it's a cute little cottage up in the mountains.""Oh, no...I didn't know we're going to go that far. Tyler will be worried, let me give him a call, I can't believe I left my phone."My feelings were a bit strange, I know I'm safe with Kayleigh. But I also know I put my phone in my purse, she said I probably dropped it and her phone battery was dead so for the next couple of hours I won't be able to contact Tyler."...he's going to be so pissed at me.""Yeah, well we'll call him once we get there. He loves you, you'll get away with anything."I know she was joking but for a second she sounded a bit sarcastic. I shook my head when she giggled mischievously saying that we're going on a road trip while swiftly pumping up the volume to her car Soundsyst
My CEO, My Temptation 30. Loving care
TylerI let Dale and Bruce deal with Kayleigh. She was alive, crazy, but alive. Unfortunately. I would lock her up for good myself if I could, but I know Jessica would feel guilty when she found out the real reason why Kayleigh did it.It was a sickness, a deranged twisted sickness.Going through her phone, I called her doctor friend Rebecca while Jessica was still staring at the blank TV screen sitting on the sofa with a blanket draped over her body."Hello, Rebecca? this is Tyler's Jessica's boyfriend...yeah, we need you here right now, bring your doctor kit. I'll explain everything later...no, just superficial wounds. I know she doesn't like going to the hospital...and I might need your opinion should she have other bruises...good, thank you. I'll text you my address."The kettle was boiling and I was back to my simple task of making her some tea. I decided to
My CEO, My Temptation 31. Beach Therapy
Jessica"Thank you, Dr. Sheridan.""You're making progress, Jessica, small baby steps."Tyler was to my side soon as I was out of her office, he nodded at Dr. Sheridan. He was letting me have my space, didn't discuss anything with her. The man was understanding and respecting my therapy time with my psychiatrist."So, I was thinking of getting a week off from work, and you're not seeing Dr. Sheridan for another week. With that in mind, what would you say we if we go for a short trip?" he holds my hand in his and rubbed my knuckles with his thumb. Small little gestures, but he was showing me that he's there, that he cares for me."...nothing too far, I'm thinking the quiet seaside, walk on the beach type of relaxation? nearby bed and breakfast with a full spa treatment? and if you're bored we can go back and just lounged at my place and have our walk in the park date?"
