Chapter 7

While Adler started to sleep soundly in the comfort of his sovereignty of pseudo-clouds and the ice pack she brought him, Carylle rested her back against the door she had recently closed and heaved a sigh whilst thinking how eventful the entire morning was. For one moment, she was freezing like the Philippines' hell-like temperature dropped to negative zero degrees that she felt like she was going to get frostbite, and now she is in a warm room, she feels awkward being left alone. But she doesn't mind, the excuse was reasonable anyway.

Remembering her fiancé's appearance made her facepalm inwardly, his dazed self who was completely disheveled, obviously perturbed and taken away from his ecstasy and his reaction when she introduced herself to him, the chaos between him and his mother when he called her. It wasn't his fault though, she came to his house unannounced. Their meeting was a fiasco, and it was beyond disappointing

    Chapter 43"Nothing at all, sir," he said for the nth time while at the back of his mind, thought that this is was like an investigative interrogation and why this goddamned old man asking him such questions. Was this his way of showing that he didn't fully trust his son in handling his job or was he just being a nosy prick? After all, he could see the signs of progress and escalations in the issues through the reports."Good," was what he only replied while nodding. "It gratifies me reading..." he trailed off, lifted a thick wad of papers in the air, and harshly slammed it on the desk with a loudwhack!"You have improved after countless failures, executive.

    Chapter 42 "Executive,"said a low, baritone voice as soon as Adler opened the doors. Right in front of him was a full view of the rear of a towering leather office chair, on its arms, he could see someone's elbows resting on it, which he figured belonged to the man who spoke. He looked around and examined the entire office. It looked nothing different from his previous visit. It was still reeking off the scent of burned sandalwood, a scent that'd make his nose itch, a trait that he inherited from his mother. Everything was still had the same furniture, with each right on their spot. As if they were never moved at all. "Chairman," he greeted back with a slight nod, and the swivel chair immediately turned. It revealed a man looking in his early 50s wi

    Chapter 41 "We're talking.We're talking, all right?" Elis asked, nodding relentlessly. "We're patching things up. I know I made a mistake. I should have known my place at that time." He didn't answer her and only gave off a heavy sigh, staring at the dull walls emptily while she continued to explain herself. "But what's with the strong reaction? We just had a good time the other day," she asked frantically with anxiousness painted all over her face. Her forehead held multiple creases, her eyebrows frowning, her frenzied eyes looking at him widely and her lips were wide agape. "I'm sorry if I didn't realize that you were serious. But come on, don't get mad at me. You didn't have to embarrass me earlier too," she con

    Chapter 40It was Elis, and she was rubbing her feet on his hard groin!Adler prevented himself from groaning loudly in front of everyone. It was obvious that the woman was doing her crazy lust-driven antics again. She tended to do this whenever they were together in meetings and she was becoming sleepy or bored. She started it off first by mildly running her hand across his, and he would hold her hand in response. It would then end up with them twisting and playing on each other's fingertips. It felt fun, and it woke him up from sleeping on the meeting like how it did with her. The small electrifying sensations running across their fingers felt pleasant. Days went by that time and meetings became more frequent and holding hands and playing fingers gradually became slides on the inner legs and caresses on each other's privates but it d

    Chapter 39 "You seem to beenergetic these days, Sir," Morgan said sternly while handing out the organized files to Adler, who was busy reading business proposals and conference invitations on his email. It was another busy day for Adler. Unlike his usual days, he was able to do paperwork efficiently and at a faster pace than his usual. Since his conversationwith Carylle, Adler had been like a wake-up call for him to change his ways. To him, she was right. He realized that he really did need a break, and as they said: Rome wasn't built in a day. However, it did not change the fact that his sleepless nights and endless hours of work with no breaks brought him t

    Chapter 38 "I'm okay.Thanks for worrying." "Are you sure?" Carylle asked, her eyes looking at him as if she was asking for reassurance. Adler nodded in response, giving her the reassurance she needed. "Yeah, I'm sure." He figured nowadays that she was such a worrywart to every organism in this world, whether it was alive or dead. Once, she stepped on a pillow while cleaning up. He saw her anxiously brushing it off before putting it back in place. He found her adorable checking on the pillow if it still had blemishes left. She also nudged him slightly just last night as well, and she immediately reacted, asking him if he was all right, and just like right now, she asked for reassurance. It took him a
