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
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 39
Harold's POV.“Alright, thank you,” I said on the phone before ending the call. I exhaled as I shoved my back into the pocket of my jeans.My eyes settled on the time on my wrist watch while my gaze flickered around in sight of a dark-haired lady. She wasn't anywhere in sight and frankly, I was starting to get very worried.I was starting to become more than worried.Had I done her dirty by rejecting her last night?Last night...I couldn't get the image of seduction out of my mind. I just couldn't deal. I couldn't get the feel of her hands around me, tugging at my hair and pulling me closer and closer with every action.I couldn't get the taste of her lips; they tasted like wine. A sweet wine that couldn't be ignored. A kind of wine that doesn't make you full but rather makes you yearn and yearn for more with each sip.Those were what her lips tasted like on mine.And her body, her goddamn body had been almost too difficult to resist. Too fucking difficult because it took everything i
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 40
Riella's POV.If wishes were horses, beggars would fly...It was crazy how my emotions kept switching up. When I walked in earlier, I was hopeful. But after Harold informed me about the fact that he had done the inspection himself, my whole mood was deflated.He just dampened my mood with his words without knowing. I wanted to be here, I wanted to see and inspect these things. I wanted him to ask him for my opinions, and suggestions, on what I thought. He once told me that I had strong suggestions and I couldn't agree more.But hearing that he did all that without me just broke my heart. Then, he outrightly confirmed that I was worthless to him by sending me to get him drinks rather than get to work.I didn't know what to make of that.He was just talking to me about clothes and the weather and I was starting to get really irritated. It was taking everything in me not to snap at him.Not to snap at my boss.But I would have chosen that moment, done that a million times rather than be
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 41
Harold's POV.Fucking bastard!I should have noticed. I should have suspected that something was terribly wrong when she started to tremble and stutter at the sight of him.She had been completely fine when he wasn't around. Even with the strain between us, she was still vocal, a lot more vocal than when the bastard arrived.I didn't even know what to make of him after he introduced himself as her boyfriend. I had been too busy trying to deal with the shock rather than suspecting the shocked look on her face.I was busy checking him out and trying to measure him up to me. Yes, I was that petty. He looked like an ‘okay' guy to me. He looked good looking and his cockiness was something that would charm a lot of ladies. Besides, he very much looked like a charmer.I was busy doing all of that when he whisked her away, I didn't realize that I just let her leave with the devil himself. Not until I played the scene in my head and realized that something was long.I waited for two minutes,
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 42
Riella's POV.I sniffed the air...the relaxing air of New York City as I climbed down from the plane. It felt good, extremely good to be back in the town. It felt like I had been gone for ages.Even though I knew that it was just a few days. Miami, the place held bad memories for me. It held events I wanted to dig a space in my mind and bury it into. It was not something I want to be remembering.“New York, ” I whined as I held on to the handle of my box, feeling tears brim in my eyes. It felt extremely good to be back. In as much as the city was crowded and all of that, it was still my beloved city.The past few days, especially after that day, I had gone from being fierce to emotional every passing minute. It was like the presence of Desmond that day had pressed a button, one that revealed my emotional side.I got stressed easily and had tears running down my face at the thought of it. Although I had wanted to talk about it, I didn't want to burden Carolyn with the news over the pho
THE CEO'S MISTAKE CHAPTER 43
Riella's POV.At the sound of the door, her expression faltered and she glanced my way. With widened eyes, I watched her point the gun defiantly at someone whose face I couldn't see.There was a spark in her eyes, blazing fire, and brimstones. She was fierce, defiant, and looked every inch of what she used to be...what we were.“Lyn, ” My eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets as they beheld hers. My hands shook slightly as I took a step closer into the room, the same time the man turned toward me and realization dawned on me once I got locked with his Sapphire blue orbs.Carolyn had always told me about how much she adored Tyler's blue orbs.But...why was he kneeling in front of her?“Lyn, what are you doing?” I whispered furiously as I took long strides toward her. I was suddenly alarmed as I watched her. This was a billionaire. A man worth billions of dollars.A man with high esteem and caliber. A man of the people. And he was here, kneeling in front of her with a gun pointe
