The CEO: My Baby's Father CHAPTER 45: Time Passing By
For days, nothing happened. Then those days passed quickly.One day turned into another, and before anyone truly noticed, weeks had already slipped by.It was now four weeks – a month into the Chicago project.The work routine had settled naturally into everyone's lives and the mansion gradually transformed under Dawnat's careful hands.Each completed room brought visible excitement to the team. Elegant furniture replaced empty spaces, colors blended beautifully together, and details that once seemed insignificant suddenly became what made the mansion feel alive.It was ethereal and eye-catching.Mr. Paulson looked more satisfied with each passing day.His visits became more frequent, and unlike before, he no longer hid his approval.One afternoon, after reviewing the latest progress, he gathered the entire team.Everyone stood around curiously and eagerly for whatever he wanted to say.Mr. Paulson smiled warmly, “I want to say this properly. You've all done exceptional work.”The sta
The CEO: My Baby's Father CHAPTER 44: F.I.A.E
Penelope stirred beneath the blanket. She felt light directly hit her face and her brows furrowed.She stretched lazily and opened one eye.For a second she forgot where she was. Then Chicago returned and she sighed.Her eyes opened fully and she turned instinctively toward her side.But it was empty. Her brows knitted together. Freya? She sat up slowly, noticing the blanket that they had shared, was now placed fully on her. Penelope looked up again. There was no sign of Freya at all.She blinked. Did she leave already?Her expression softened slightly. Maybe she felt awkward after crying yesterday and hurriedly left before she woke up.Penny sighed. Hopefully she wasn't embarrassed.Getting off the bed, she stretched again and grabbed her clothes.She needed a shower to start her day and so she shuffled to the bathroom.Inside there, warm water poured over her shoulders and she closed her eyes.Her thoughts drifted as she sank in the relaxation.She thought about yesterday. About…
The CEO: My Baby's Father CHAPTER 43: Something Wrong
The first day at the project site had left everyone exhausted.By the time the Dawnat team returned to the hotel, the sun was already sinking behind Chicago's skyline, painting the glass buildings in shades of gold and amber.The company shuttle was unusually quiet that evening.Gone was the excitement from the morning. Everyone looked drained from the day's stress.Some of the workers slept against the windows, while others scrolled lazily through their phones.A few though, discussed the next day’s workload.Penelope sat beside Wilson, staring outside.The city lights gradually flickered to life as evening settled."We survived Day One," Wilson said, breaking the silence, “We can surely conquer.”Penny laughed softly, "I feel like a sac of potatoes.""Tomorrow, you will feel like a sac of yams."Penny gave him a look, "Thank you for your encouragement.""Don't mention,” he grinned at her and she rolled her eyes.The ride continued peacefully back to the hotel.On the way back, Penny
The CEO: My Baby's Father CHAPTER 42: Who is He?
"What a small world."Penny still couldn't believe it. She stared at Dante as if he might suddenly disappear if she blinked too much.The man laughed at her expression, "You're looking at me like you've seen a ghost.""I practically have!" Penny exclaimed. "Dante, it's been years!""Seven years."Her eyes widened, "You counted?""I have a good memory,” he winked and Penny rolled her eyes."No. You're just weird."Dante placed a hand over his chest with a fake look of pain, "That hurts."She laughed, giving him a middle finger.Dante then glanced behind her and frowned slightly, before looking back at her, "Coffee?"Penny hesitated, “My lunch break is almost over and I have to go back to work.”“What exactly are you doing?” He asked, crossing his arms over his chest.“I'm a designer,” she replied calmly, “For Dawnat.”His brows raised, “Oh wow. That's…incredible.”“Yeah. So …what business do you have here?” She asked him back.“I just came to visit Charles. Didn't know he was renovatin
The CEO: My Baby's Father CHAPTER 41: Gossip
Penny was utterly confused. Nothing could ever prepare her for the fact that rumours around her were floating around the staff.She clenched her fists slightly. No.This was what she had tried to avoid the very first day she was accepted into Dawnat.Calvin not realizing her secret, not getting close to him, and rumours not circulating around her.Turned out fate skipped the first two and landed on the third one to make her miserable.A tired sigh escaped her lips as she turned around and headed back downstairs to join the others.She couldn't entirely blame them though. If she were in their position, she would probably be suspicious too.Calvin Dawson wasn't exactly subtle anymore with his attention on her.The memory of the gala flashed through her mind. The dance, the ride home, the way he constantly seemed to find reasons to pull her closer.Penny bit the inside of her cheek.She couldn't allow this to continue. Demetria would probably throw her hands in the air and say,"Girl, w
The CEO: My Baby's Father CHAPTER 40: It Begins
It was the day. Saturday.The day the Almighty project would begin. Time for mind, body and soul stress!Penelope heaved a sigh. She was ready for it, but also at the same time, not ready. It was just that bittersweet feeling.But work called and none had a choice not to answer.By seven-thirty that morning, the Dawnat team had gathered in the hotel lobby, coffee cups in hand and sleepy expressions on their faces.The excitement of arriving in Chicago had officially worn off. Now reality had arrived, slamming them in their faces.Penelope adjusted her jacket while trying to suppress a yawn.Then, a voice appeared beside her."Rough night?"She turned to see Wilson standing there holding two coffees. One was already extended toward her and she smiled."You are officially my favorite coworker."Wilson grinned, "I know."She accepted the cup gratefully, "Thank you."“Hi, Penelope.”Penelope looked sideways to see Freya, “Hi, Freya. Good morning.”“Hope you slept well?”Before Penelope co
The CEO: My Baby's Father CHAPTER 8: Burning Spark
Calvin’s speech was short and devoid of warmth. He spoke of "restructuring," "unprecedented growth," and "weeding out the stagnant." A very stark warning.Penelope didn't hear a word of it. She was too busy calculating the fastest route to the emergency exit. Could she quit today? Could she claim
The CEO: My Baby's Father CHAPTER 7: First Day
Monday arrived like an uninvited guest, slipping in without warning. Penny didn’t know whether to feel happy about that… or not.But guess who was absolutely thrilled and screaming?Oh yes. You already know.“PENELOPEEEEEEEE!!”Penny sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose.“PENNYYYYY!”The shriek
The CEO: My Baby's Father CHAPTER 6: Yin and Yang
The cab ride home was a blur of neon lights and second thoughts. Penelope leaned her head against the cool glass of the window, replaying the interview like a film she couldn't switch off.Should she really be doing this? Couldn't she just forget about the job and have nothing to do with that man?
The CEO: My Baby's Father CHAPTER 5: Welcome to Dawnat
The building looked even taller the second time as she came. Like it wanted to show her it held more power than she could think of.Penelope stood just outside the glass doors, her fingers curled tightly around the strap of her bag. Today, she wore a red dress that hugged her curves exactly. She w
