THE CEO'S PET 12. GOODBYE
Amber dressed for work the following morning with the determination to turn down the offer and submit her already written resignation letter. She could not get over the guilt of having to deceive many people just because someone told her to, in return for fame and filling her pocket. She escorted her mother back to the hospital where she stopped to have a word with her doctor about her current situation. “I think we will be able to see a donor faster than we expected because some of the patients pulled out of the treatment list. They didn’t have money for the dialysis anymore, and they gave up, so your mother has moved up ten slots on the list”, the doctor informed her, and she didn’t know whether to be happy for her mother or sad for the patients that died or pulled out of the slot. “So we just have to hold on for a little while, right?” she asked to clarify. “Yes, all you have to do is hold on for a little while, and I am sure a miracle will happen sooner” the doctor assured her,
THE CEO'S PET 13. IRRITATIONS AND PROVOCATIONS
She told Emily that she would be absent at the house for a few days after dropping her things at home. Emily told her not to worry about her since she was already back on her feet now and moving around and just living her own life, so she went over to Eddy’s place. “You are not going to work?”, Eddy asked in surprise when he saw her at his door. “I am taking a leave for now, so I will be spending a few days here”, she said and pushed her way in. She had bought groceries from the store, wine and fruit to keep herself busy and well-fed for the days she would be spending with him. They finished dinner and played several games before settling down to watch a movie while munching on snacks and wine. They took wine to the extent that they started feeling hot and tipsy. Before they knew it, they had yanked off each other’s clothes and made out heavily. This time she was prepared for anything, and it felt as if his warmth would be the biggest antidote she needed to make herself forget her
THE CEO'S PET 14. ANOTHER SUSPICION
Tom has been furious all day because of what happened at the office. He spent all day trying to fix the error that was made by the carelessness of his secretary, but no matter how he tried to cut it short, the loss was still more than he could imagine. Upon entering the house to see what his mother was doing in the kitchen so late at night, just because a spoiled brat was not satisfied with what was originally prepared for dinner fueled his anger more. “Why would you stress her to make another round of food? You can easily order in whatever you want to eat or just eat what was prepared”, he growled at Joseph, who didn’t even feel any remorse. “Why is she in the house if she cannot cook for me? She should do this to fill in for the nothing she does. Don’t you think?”, said Joseph with a shrug, and that was the height of it for him. He gave him a hot slap across his right cheek which made him stagger in shock. “What did you just do?” Joseph asked in horror. “I slapped the sense tha
THE CEO'S PET 15. DOES THE OFFER STILL STANDS?
The café had ordered a large amount of ingredients, so the supermarket offered to deliver them in the company’s van on their behalf. “Amber, you should go with John for the delivery and also make sure to find out what they need next, so they don’t place the order at another mart”, the manager instructed. She got into the van, and after fifteen minutes' ride, they pulled up in front of the café, and she got down from the van as Emily and Eddy walked out of the café. She observed that they were familiar, and tried checking well, but John opened the van and signaled to her to come closer. “They look so familiar, who are they?”, she murmured and tried walking into the street to check the car well, but a speeding car made her fly off the street, and before she could walk back in, Eddy’s car had already left. She finished setting the orders and also took new ones as the manager requested before they went back to work, but she could not get the familiar scene out of her head. “The car is
THE CEO'S PET 16. ANOTHER DECISION
That morning, Amber was busy cleaning up the house because she had the afternoon shift and Emily said she had a morning class. After cleaning up her room and other places, she felt it wouldn’t be right if she didn’t clean up Emily’s room, so she went there to help her arrange and clean up the room. She was arranging her room when she found a carton containing black trousers, a black jacket and a cap. She picked them out and the same smell as Eddy’s perfume was oozing from it, but when she remembered that they had gotten the same perfume because it was in trend, she waved it off and folded it back before putting the carton under the bed carefully and neatly. As she was using the vacuum cleaner, she remembered that she had bumped into someone wearing an outfit similar to the ones she found in the carton on Eddy’s birthday, and her mind could not help but run wild. “It can’t be, there is no way something like that will happen. I am just having a misunderstanding because they are friend
THE CEO'S PET 17. TAKING HIS HANDS
Tom was, although taken aback a bit by the sudden declaration, but he was still happy that she had agreed to hop on the offer he presented to her. He was glad that his plans would press further now, and if the universe permitted, it would soar faster than he expected. “Let’s meet tomorrow then, I have to go”, she said to him. “Are you still at work? I can hear cars honking around”, he asked. “I.. am going.. ho.. me… I just stayed back to do something”, she stuttered as she tried to cover up. “I see! I will communicate the meeting time to you tomorrow”, he added, and disconnected the call. She sighed in relief and folded her fist in determination as she walked aimlessly into the street. It was then she realized that she hadn’t picked her bag from the house and her card, purse or anything that contained her identity. Her money was not on her. “Sh*t” she spat out. She wouldn’t be able to lodge at a hotel even though she wanted to because she didn’t have her ID card with her. She co
THE CEO'S PET 18. HER RETURN
One of the mall’s staff ran to the CEO’s floor to report a problem to one of the employees working there regarding a customer and the look of her face was evident enough to hint them that it was one of the troublesome customers they had once in a while. “Ma’am, we have a problem”, Helen informed, trying to catch her breath. “A problem? Why is there a problem this early morning? Don’t you think it’s too early for one?”, Team Leader Maria said with a sigh. “Harvey L is coming over”, Helen dropped, and Maria’s eyes popped out. “Who did you just mention? Harvey L?”, Maria asked, and Helen nodded furiously. “Why is she coming to the mall? Why is she coming without a notification?”, Maria asked, standing up immediately. “I don’t know, but I got a tip from her manager that she will be here in the next five minutes”, Helen answered as she ran after Maria who was already at the door, heading to the mall. “A tip? If he was going to send in a tip, then he should have done that sooner. What
THE CEO'S PET 19. SON OF A GUN
She waited with Maria in front of the elevator, and Tom ended up meeting them there. She turned to him slightly and bowed a little. “Good afternoon, CEO TOM”, she greeted him and he nodded. “It’s been a while, I hope everything is not out of place?” he asked with his hands in his pockets. “It kind of felt off, but then it’s the work I have been doing for the past two years, so I believe I will adjust soon enough”, she answered with a quick smile. “Let’s go to my office, we still have issues to settle”, he instructed, and they all got on the open elevator. Maria, who was lost in the discussion, just stood behind them in silence as she wondered why Amber was back there in the first place. She kept thinking about what the said issues could be but nothing was coming to her head and that made her release an exhausted sigh. Tom and Amber marched to the CEO’s office as soon as they stepped out of the elevator. “Close the blinds”, he commanded as she walked into the office behind him, a
