Romance With The CEO 17. Pick Up
Upon arriving at the office, Lucas immediately called Vlora. He sat down and without beating around the bush, he asked, “How is it? Have you taken care of everything?” Vlora nodded and handed two cards to Lucas. “The credit and debit cards you wanted are ready for use.” “Thank you,” Lucas said as he took the cards. “Oh, by the way, can you also start looking for an apartment? I think it's best to find one not too far from the office.” Vlora weighed Lucas's words carefully. The office building was undoubtedly located in an elite area. As such, there were several apartments available, but it did not mean it would be easy to find one in such a short time. Vlora was well aware of Lucas's desires and did not want to disappoint him. “Velia's living conditions are really bad. It's truly terrible,” Lucas said, adding a sense of urgency for Vlora. In the end, she nodded. “Alright, sir. I will prepare everything.” Lucas nodded. “I'm counting on you, Vlo.” “Thank you, sir.” Vlora left Luc

Velia could barely hold back her drowsiness as the car finally came to a stop. She, who had almost fallen asleep, suddenly felt refreshed and turned her head. They had arrived at a towering building that appeared incredibly grand. “Let's go,” Lucas's voice coincided with the opening car door. They got out and quickly entered. A security guard welcomed their arrival. He smiled and greeted them. Unfortunately, Lucas did not receive a similar response. The same went for the unassuming receptionist. In fact, the man only nodded briefly and continued walking towards the elevator. The elevator carried Lucas and Velia away from the lobby. As they ascended floor after floor, the journey was enveloped in silence. It did not take long for the elevator doors to open. Lucas and Velia arrived at their destination floor, and they walked along the corridor. There was only one door on that floor. The sole place they were headed to, and Lucas said, “Remember this passcode, Ve.” Velia blinked, sli
Romance With The CEO 19. The Touch
Velia groaned. Her sleep was disturbed. Something was present, transforming tranquility into restlessness. It felt strange, like a ticklish sensation that spread second by second. It created a tingling that made Velia squirm. Half-conscious, Velia's heart raced faster. Her previously relaxed breaths instantly changed, becoming more fervent. Comfort eroded. Restlessness emerged. Velia's head moved restlessly on the pillow. She still had her eyes closed, but her hands began to search in confusion. Clutching the pillow, she groaned again. Velia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but in vain. A faint touch caressed along her thigh, rendering her powerless. Warmth landed. Moisture enveloped Velia's nipples, leaving a mark on the satin nightgown and creating a feminine silhouette underneath. Velia opened her eyes. One face greeted her, and she was not surprised at all. “Luc.” Lucas was there, lying beside Velia. His position was sideways, with his hand slipping under Velia's
Romance With The CEO 20. The Remaining Hope
“Good morning, Sir.” As usual, Vlora greeted Lucas at the grand courtyard of Greatech. She took Lucas's briefcase and escorted him to the dedicated elevator. “Sorry in advance, Sir.” Vlora's voice coincided with the lift starting to ascend. Lucas raised an eyebrow, glanced at his watch, and waited for Vlora to speak. “Mr. Sanders is here.” Lucas furrowed his brow and raised his left hand. He checked the time and instinctively asked. “This early?” Frankly, Lucas was impressed. He did not expect to receive a visitor even before work hours. It made him exhale a bit, imagining what would happen if he decided to come to the office a little late—just a little. Not without reason. Opening his eyes and finding Velia sleeping in his embrace was the biggest temptation for Lucas. If he followed his heart's desire, he probably would not come to the office that early. That early or maybe too late. Those were the two choices Lucas faced for breakfast. “It seems he has gotten used to waking
Romance With The CEO 21. Pretending
Velia arrived at the apartment just before the sun completely set. Her hands were full of shopping bags, and she politely declined the help offered by the apartment staff. The elevator ascended, giving her time to reflect on everything that had happened that day. Velia's two objectives for going out had been accomplished. She visited Harry and paid off her debt to the loan shark. Despite what she was going through, she should feel relieved now. If only that encounter had not happened. Sandra's warnings and threats echoed in Velia's mind. Just echoes, but strangely enough, they triggered the tremors once again. Believe me, only God knows how much I didn't want to meet Lucas. Unfortunately, fate had other plans. It did not just bring them together; it bound Velia to Lucas once again. It was pathetic, but he was the only one who could support her. She was dependent on him and could not let go. Despite that, Velia was certain that Lucas would not let her go. The luxurious apartment wa
Romance With The CEO 22. Maya and Reality
Lucas was disturbed from his deep sleep. There were faint murmurs that disrupted him. He woke up and found the source to be Velia. Velia appeared restless. Her sleep was troubled, as if something terrible was disturbing her. Something like... ~ “What did you forget about what I said? How many times do I have to tell you? Look at who you are.” “No. Please.” “Oh, of course. The lowly nature of your parents truly flows in your blood, Velia.” “No. Not my parents.” “So, go. Go as far as possible until Lucas can never find you again.” “I promise. I will go.” “I'm not joking. If you still get close to Lucas, I will ruin your life.” “I promise. I will stay away from Lucas.” “I'll hold you to your promise, and if your life falls apart someday, don't be surprised. It means you've broken your promise.” “I won't break it.” “Don't let Lucas find you, or else I can do anything. Starting with your parents.” ~ Sweat dripped. The murmurs grew louder. Velia appeared tormented, trapped in
Romance With The CEO 23. Consideration
Indeed, it is normal for Velia to wake up feeling tired. Since she entrusted her life to Lucas, there has not been a truly refreshing sleep for her. Especially after last night. She had a terrible and horrifying nightmare. Not only did Velia's body feel exhausted, but her soul was also shaken. Apparently, Lucas's caresses did succeed in putting her to sleep. However, they were not powerful enough to banish the terrifying images from her mind upon waking up. “Luc?” Rising and holding the blanket to her chest, once again Velia did not find Lucas by her side. She glanced at the clock and realized it was still early in the morning. Velia put on her nightgown and got out of bed. She searched for Lucas's whereabouts until her steps led her to the kitchen. “Are you awake?” Lucas was already dressed neatly, complete with a white shirt and tie. He looked fresh as he prepared breakfast. “Yes,” Velia nodded awkwardly. “Y-you prepared breakfast.” “Just sandwiches. It's not difficult.” Luc
Romance With The CEO 24. Meeting
Days passed. During that time, Velia realized something. Lucas was always there with her. Seven days a week, without exception. Velia finished preparing breakfast when Lucas arrived, looking neat and tidy. They sat down together. Lucas wiped his mouth. He finished a glass of water and asked nonchalantly, “Is there something you want to say?” Velia snapped out of her reverie, and Lucas stared at her. His gaze seemed piercing. “You've been watching me all this time,” Lucas continued. “I thought there was something you wanted to say.” Velia should not have been surprised. He seemed careless, but in truth, Lucas was very perceptive. Nothing escaped his eyes. Regarding Lucas's perceptiveness, Velia realized something else. There was no point in lying to him. Trying to be dishonest with him was the fastest way to invite trouble. “I remember you once told me that you gave me this apartment unit to make things easier for you.” That was enough. Velia did not need to explain the details.
