A Date? Or Just Dinner?

The next morning, the office felt different. Emma had opted for a brown suit, paired with a matching brown pencil skirt that hit just above the knee.

To change things up, she had spent an extra twenty minutes in front of the mirror, coaxing her hair into soft, cascading curls that framed her face.

As she entered the office, Jerry was already at his desk, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a half-empty cup of black coffee by his side.

  • The CEO I Insulted Is Now My Boss    31. THE ' OFFICE ' INCIDENT

    The "Office" IncidentMonday morning arrived with a soft glow, as sunlight streamed through the curtains, bathing Emma’s room in a warm, honey-colored light. She stretched, a bright smile gracing her face. She still had two hours before work, and as she looked down at the bandage on her ankle, a small, involuntary smile settled on her lips.The door creaked open, and Kristie leaned in, a teasing glint in her eyes. "I haven't seen anyone happy to be injured before—especially not with that grin on your face."Emma stuck her tongue out, chuckling. "I thought you said you finally got that job at the restaurant?""I did, but I work in shifts, so I’m off until tomorrow." Kristie gestured toward the door. "Get dressed. I already made breakfast."Emma nodded quietly, sighing as she traced the edge of the bandage. Memories of Friday flooded back—Jerry kneeling in front of her, the weight of his arms as he carried her. She groaned and covered her face with her hands. *That man is definitely

  • The CEO I Insulted Is Now My Boss    30. THE ' BOSSY ' PROBLEM

    Emma stiffened, her cheeks turning a brighter shade of red. *Did he just... smack ME?!* Jerry chuckled, shaking his head. She was just so funny and cute. At least she was finally quiet; that was enough for him. Jerry carried Emma down the long hallway as if she weighed nothing. Guests turned to stare at the two of them while Emma tried to cover her face. *This was totally embarrassing,* she thought. *Definitely not how I imagined today would be.* Emma's face burned as she stared at the ceiling as if it held the secrets of life. She didn't say anything after the smack from earlier. Not that it was painful, but it was just weird—besides, she wasn't a kid, she thought, huffing as she turned to face Jerry, who was looking ahead like he was performing some serious task or whatever. She cleared her throat, muttering, "They're looking." Jerry glanced at the lady who was busy staring at the wall. She could never stay quiet for even five minutes. "They have eyes." Emma frowned at

  • The CEO I Insulted Is Now My Boss    29 . THE LADY IN A RED DRESS

    ### The lady in red dress Jerry sat across from the Hawthornes and two other executives, a glass of whiskey resting loosely between his fingers. "...the Singapore branch should be finalized before the fourth quarter." Jerry nodded automatically. "Agreed." His answer came on instinct rather than actual thought. His attention wasn't on the discussion taking place; his gaze drifted toward the ballroom entrance for what had to be the fifth time. He wondered why Emma was taking so long. Had she gotten lost? The ballroom was massive, but surely not *that* big. Mr. Hawthorne chuckled, breaking Jerry from his thoughts. "Something wrong, Mr. Sterling?" Jerry cleared his throat and shook his head. "No. Continue." The conversation returned to business—travels, numbers, shares, contracts. Ordinarily, Jerry enjoyed these discussions, but his concentration was entirely consumed by one thing: a small woman in a red dress. She was taking too long. He told himself it was purely pro

  • The CEO I Insulted Is Now My Boss    28. THE GEARS OF THE HEART 2

    Emma huffed, opening the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water. Her friends were definitely *delulu*. How could she possibly like Jerry? He was the annoying man who had made her life difficult from day one! Yes, he’d changed recently—he was calmer, he’d taught her to play tennis, and he’d even been surprisingly sweet about her being late—but that didn't mean anything. She slammed the fridge door shut, the cold bottle pressed against her flushed cheek as if it could extinguish the heat radiating from her face. "You're silent," Luan called out from the living room, her voice dripping with amusement. "Silence is the sound of you losing an argument with your own heart, Em." "I am not losing any arguments!" Emma shouted back, marching into the living room and flopping onto the armchair. "I’m just… processing. It’s a professional adjustment! If the fiancée comes back, the dynamic at the office changes. She’ll be around, she’ll be expecting things, and she’ll probably want me to cl

    The invitation to the estate had come as a casual text from Beth. Still, Beth was relentless, and Emma found herself turning into the grand driveway in the afternoon, her stomach doing somersaults. Beth met her at the door with a beaming smile, pulling her inside with the kind of sisterly warmth that Emma found hard to resist. They settled into the sunroom with two steaming mugs of tea. Emma took a sip. It was actually quite good. "This is nice." "I knew you would like it," Beth said, winking playfully. "By the way, how is work?" Emma chuckled, shaking her head. "Stressful." "As always," Beth muttered. Both ladies chuckled, clearly enjoying the peaceful moment. "You know," Beth started, tucking her legs under her on the plush sofa, "I’m still not over that tennis match. Jerry hasn't stopped talking about it. Well, 'talking' is a strong word for my brother, but he mentioned you played surprisingly well for a beginner." Emma laughed, feeling the tension in her shoulders mel

  • The CEO I Insulted Is Now My Boss    26. FIRED OR MAYBE NOT !?

    The morning sun spilled through the curtains, illuminating the room. Emma groaned, pulling the duvet over her head. Luan was standing beside the bed, while Kristie sat on the edge, watching her. "Girl, you need to go to work?" "Go to work? Do you hear yourself? I’ll get fined into oblivion!" "Seriously, how would you even know that?" Kristie reasoned. "Besides, if you were fired, they would have sent you a message by now." Emma sat upright, which finally brought a smile to Luan’s face. "Kristie is right," Luan added. "Besides, I’m pretty sure he wouldn't have taken it seriously. Tell me, what exactly was his expression, anyway?" Emma thought hard. "None... his expression was totally blank. Like, completely blank." Kristie clicked her tongue. "Once, my boss had a blank expression, and the next thing I knew, I was fired." "What?" Luan asked, raising a brow. "I’m serious. I was fired the very next day. A blank expression is a bad sign, especially from a boss." Emma gr
