THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 31
Riella's POV.Boss was acting weird. He had been acting weird and I didn't know why. Right from the ride over here, I had been trying to get him to talk to me but he just plugged his headphones in and completely ignored me.I didn't know what to make of that. I didn't even understand it one bit and even though I was slightly hurt by his actions. I meant give me a breather, I thought we were way past the strict and bossy kind of relationship. I had lunch with him recently in his office, on his insistence. Even with all of that, it didn't stop me from stealing glances at him while we traveled in silence. I even took a bunch of unaware pictures I wanted to muse over. It was the reason I was so eager to come to my room but his question at the elevator had thrown me off guard.It made different thoughts form In my mind and even though I was trying not to consider them, I couldn't help thinking about whether or not he liked me. I just couldn't help it.As soon as I got into my suite, I pl
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 32
Riella's POV.He opened his mouth to speak but shut it back again wordlessly. I leaned back in my seat, my eyes still trained on him. I could feel the frontal part of my hair, the fringe was sticking to my forehead. Well, I had fixed it to look that way.“Why did you change your clothes?” He asked after everything. I raised a brow, equally confused as to what he had decided to ask rather than comment on all I had said.“I'm sorry, what?” I coughed out, not getting him in any way. Then, I watched his head lower slightly and his gaze dropped to my fit, my body.“Why did you change your clothes?” He asked again, the shade a bit lower, huskier. His voice sent a kind of shiver to run down my spine and if it wasn't for home training and self-esteem, I could be doing things at the moment.I gulped and averted my gaze from him, trying to put myself together. But once I remembered Carolyn's words, I smirked and glanced up at him.“Well, the pantsuit was starting to get sweaty and sticky. Whene
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 33
Harold's POV.I was ignoring Brittany's calls.With every ring, I would take a glance at my phone before looking away at the sight of her name. Then, I would listen to the ringtone blare annoyingly until it stops. I had been laying on the bed, trying to get that smug look, the little intimate moment that almost ran me mad at the restaurant. I wasn't going to think that she did it on purpose. She couldn't know how much self-control I was holding on to just to stay away from her yet she would do that to me.She needed not when she already had my attention.As I lay on my bed, I was shamelessly thinking about what she would be doing. It made my senses pick up because never would I imagine myself obsessing over a female this way. I would call it obsession since I didn't know exactly what to call it.“You must do away with any woman that isn't Brittany.”My mother's voice filtered into my mind. The rate at which I sat up had my head spinning for a second. I could only hope that I didn't d
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 34
Riella's POV.I sat up eagerly on the king-sized bed, my phone held out in my hand while I continually stared at the number dialing. Soon, it stopped dialing without being answered and I frowned.Carolyn didn't take long to answer anyone's calls. Most especially my calls.I frowned again and dialed her line again. After a few stops, it stopped dialing and her voice came on the air.“Babe, ” I was almost screaming as I called out to her. Realizing my excitement which was unlike me, I sat back down and almost busted into laughter at my energy.“Wassup b?” She didn't act excited to know what was wrong and it made all my energy deflate. This wasn't Carolyn. The Carolyn I knew would have started jumping, trying to return my energy.“What's wrong?” I asked in concern as I remembered that the same thing had happened in the kitchen but I didn't get to listen to her.“Nothing. Why did you call?” She asked in an attempt to change the conversation. I knew I was stubborn but Carolyn, was a log he
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 35
Riella's POV.Harold looked like chocolate in a candy bar. He looked so good, so damn good and sexy. The way he had brushed up his hair in a style that reeked gell made me want to run my hand through them.And his cologne.Oh, God, his cologne.He was just a few steps away from me but I could breathe in the scent, the lingering and unwavering scent as it assaulted my senses, leaving me a scent mess.“You're ready, ” I could sense how husky and low his voice had gotten, a shade deeper. And the way he couldn't take his eyes off me almost made me scream and jump but when I remembered Carolyn's words, I plastered a smile on my face.“Shall we?” I asked him, holding out my purse to the side. He couldn't say anything but I saw his adam apple bob so I knew he had just gulped. I smiled sweetly at him before I took the lead. I flipped the tail of my hair as I passed by him, making sure that at least, a part of it touched him. It took him a few seconds before he joined me in the elevator. I c
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 36
Harold's POV.Damn!That was one thing I couldn't stop saying no matter how much I tried to. I couldn't keep my eyes off her, couldn't keep my eyes away from her.I could not stop watching her either.It was like she had stopped my will to resist her and cast a spell on me to leave me wanting. I wouldn't have thought she was up to it, but she was flirting with me. And she was so good at it.I cussed, mumbling profanities under my breath as I watched the asshole grab her waist while she rocked against him. She seemed to be enjoying it with how well she was smiling.The idiot just came from nowhere in the middle of our discussion to sweep her away from me. I certainly did feel like pulling out his teeth but I didn't want to cause a scene.Also, I didn't want any shit for the moment.I sipped on my vodka, my eyes still trained on her. That dress, goddamn that dress!That was seduction itself.It was already bad enough that she looked good on anything. Then, she had gone ahead to wear t
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 37
Riella's POV.Men are assholes.Well, men like Joe and Desmond are. After dancing for a little while longer, I noticed Harold was no longer watching me and was now swooned by another lady. I wasn't going to lie, I felt disappointed and angry at the same time. All my efforts are for nothing.So, when Joe suggested we get drinks somewhere else different from the club, I had been too eager to get away with him. Only that turned out to be a mistake because before I could think, we were somewhere different from the club and surrounded by other guys.I wanted to leave, I wanted to get away but Joe held on to me stubbornly. He and the other guys surrounded me, passing me lustful gazes. They ordered that they needed money and noticed I had lots of it so they had come for their share. It was stupid, I knew but I was scared. They could do anything to me. I was about to do what they wanted when I realized that I was not with my purse. They were not going to let me leave, so I told them to get
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 38
Riella's POV.I sat in front of the mirror in the room, eyes gazing at my reflection like a hawk. My eyes were a bit swollen, dark threads hanging around in them. My breathing was shaky, each intake releasing another shaky set.My hands trembled slightly on the table. My dark raven hair which I had always taken care of was wrapped in a messy bun atop my head. I was dressed very formally in a beige-colored skirt that stopped after my knee. It had a slit at one end, one that ran up my mid-thighs but still managed to look professional.I paired this with a turtleneck black long-sleeved cotton top which I had tucked into the skirt. My feet were adorned in ankle leather heel boots.I was dressed that simply but I was starting to regret everything I had on. I mean, what if the slit was too much, and he thought I was doing too much?The humiliation, what had happened last night glared at me right in the face.It was all my fault.I shouldn't have settled down in his room, I shouldn't have dr
