Reou’s POV

“What do you need, Rylee?”

I didn’t bother looking up from the documents on my desk when my younger brother walked into my office without an appointment.

Lately, he had developed an unusual interest in my workplace.

Ever since Elise started working for me, Rylee had become noticeably more active around the company. He appeared in meetings he previously wouldn’t bother attending, visited my office for reasons that could easily be handled through email, and somehow always managed to be

  • Romancing Mr. CEO   23 : A nice dinner

    Chapter 23One day, while I was checking a few reports at my desk, my phone lit up.A message from Zane.Zane Xavier: Good afternoon, Aurora. Are you available sometime today? I’d like to ask for your advice on something.I stared at his message for a moment.It had been a while since we last talked. After the photograph circulated online, we had agreed to let the rumors die down on their own. Thankfully, the attention had slowly shifted to something else.Me: Depends. What do you need?His reply came almost immediately.Zane Xavier: There’s a problem with the materials for one of our ongoing projects in Davao. I remember our conversation at Zia’s birthday, and I thought you might have some useful insights. Would you mind taking a look?I leaned back in my chair.For some reason, I wanted to go.And it wasn’t like I wasn’t allowed to. Zane was asking for my professional opinion. It wasn’t a date, nor was there anything remotely personal about the invitation.In fact, I should go.I kn

  • Romancing Mr. CEO   22 : It was probably nothing

    Chapter 22For a moment, I wanted to laugh.Evander?Who on earth was Evander?Zane Xavier. His own business partner. A man he had probably sat through countless meetings with, negotiated contracts with, and shared business dinners with.And yet, he called him Evander.That was so Reou.Even after all these years, he could still be the most frustrating man I had ever known.But I couldn’t bring myself to laugh.Not when my fingers were still resting against my lips.Reou had kissed me.Reou Alexander Moretti had actually kissed me.I slowly sank onto the couch, staring at the door he had just walked through. My mind kept replaying the moment, as if repeating it enough times would somehow help me understand what had happened.His hand against my cheek.The way he looked at me before leaning closer.And then his lips.Oh, God.I pressed both hands against my face, feeling the heat spread across my cheeks.I wanted to scream. Maybe even jump around like an idiot. There was a ridiculous a

  • Romancing Mr. CEO   21 : The Kiss

    The Things We Don’t AskYou know how rumors are. They spread faster than anyone could keep up with.I wasn’t entirely expecting it. Or perhaps I had simply enjoyed myself too much the previous night to notice how much attention that little conversation with Zane had attracted.Either way, it was Sunday, and I had absolutely no plans.I still felt tired from the previous night’s activities, so I only bothered getting ready for dinner. Unfortunately, even that seemed like too much effort. I ended up ordering food instead, not even considering the possibility of stepping outside.I had work tomorrow morning, but sleep wasn’t coming anytime soon.So there I was, sitting comfortably on my couch, watching my favorite drama while enjoying my little feast. A pizza with extra cheese, lasagna, and a steak with a glass of wine.Perfect.For a moment, I completely forgot about the rumors circulating online. I was too busy enjoying my food and the drama playing on the television.Until my phone li

  • Romancing Mr. CEO   20 : A photo worth a thousand rumors

    Chapter 20I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating relentlessly against my bedside table.At first, I ignored it.I buried my face deeper into my pillow, hoping whoever was trying to reach me would eventually give up.Unfortunately, whoever it was seemed determined to ruin my sleep.My phone vibrated again.And again.And again.With a groan, I reached for it, barely opening one eye.Three in the afternoon.I stared at the screen.Three.In.The.Afternoon.“Oh, my God.”I immediately sat up.How did I manage to sleep that long?Before I could even process the time, I noticed the ridiculous number of notifications filling my screen.Messages. Missed calls. Group chats. Instagram notifications.There were so many that I couldn’t even see the wallpaper behind them.I rubbed my eyes and opened my messages.The first thing I saw was a message from Ciara.GIRL, ZANE XAVIER?!Then another.YOU’RE DATING ZANE XAVIER?A message from Sophia followed.GOSH, YOU DIDN’T TELL ME!Then Ellie.

  • Romancing Mr. CEO   17 : Party

    Chapter 17The World I Left BehindThe weekend finally came.After an exhausting week at Moretti Group, I welcomed Saturday with open arms. No inspection reports, no meetings, no endless documents waiting for my approval.Just two days to myself.Well, technically, not entirely.It was Zia’s birthday, and I had promised the girls that I would attend. It had been a while since I last saw them, and considering how surprised everyone had been about my return, I figured it was time to show my face again.By seven in the evening, I was already getting ready.I chose an elegant dress that complemented my figure, paired with my favorite YSL stilettos and a small evening bag. My hair fell in soft waves over my shoulders, and I kept my makeup polished but not too heavy.I gave myself one last look in the mirror before grabbing my phone.“Let’s go,” I told my driver.“Where to, ma’am?”“Nicole’s place, please.”Zia’s family had hosted the celebration at their residence, and knowing her, I was a

  • Romancing Mr. CEO   16 : Late at night

    Chapter 16A Little More Than a RoutineThe company had been unusually busy lately.Actually, busy was an understatement.It felt as though the entire building had turned into a factory machine that never stopped running. Employees moved from one department to another, phones rang almost continuously, and piles of documents seemed to multiply overnight.With several major projects officially underway, everyone had their hands full.Reou, in particular, was almost always occupied.Whenever I passed by his office, I would see him either on a phone call, reviewing documents, or meeting with people from different departments. Sometimes, even when I was already on my way out, his office lights would still be on.I had started noticing that he rarely went home before everyone else.Then again, he had always been like that.Some habits were difficult to change, especially for someone who had spent most of his life carrying responsibilities on his shoulders.Friday finally arrived.It was sup
