CHAPTER THIRTEEN

LARA’S POV

The silence between Chris and I felt unbearable.

Cold night air brushed against my skin as we stood outside my apartment building, but somehow it felt difficult to breathe.

Chris stared in the direction the Rolls-Royce had disappeared.

Then at me again.

His jaw tightened slightly.

“You know him.”

It wasn’t a question.

I swallowed hard.

“Yes.”

“How?”

I rubbed my fingers nervously against my purse strap.

“He’s my CEO.”

Chris let out a short laugh.

  • The CEO'S Little Lamb    CHAPTER 32

    Chapter THIRTY-TWOLara’s POVI woke up to the smell of coffee.For a moment, I forgot where I was.Then the pain in my leg reminded me immediately.I winced softly and slowly opened my eyes.Morning sunlight spilled into the luxurious hospital ward, making everything look warmer than it had the previous night. The rain had stopped, and the city outside looked calm again.Unlike the man sitting near the window.Adrian.He was leaning back in the chair with a cup of black coffee in one hand while scrolling through something on his phone. His expression was sharp and unreadable, but there was tension in his jaw that hadn’t been there yesterday.Like he hadn’t slept.Again.“You stare at your phone like you want to kill someone,” I muttered weakly.His head lifted instantly.And just like that, his expression softened slightly.“You’re awake.”“Unfortunately.”A small smirk appeared briefly on his lips before disappearing again.“How’s your head?”“Feels like someone hit me with a truck.

    Chapter 30Lara’s POVPain.That was the first thing I felt before I even opened my eyes.A sharp throbbing spread through my head while another ache pulsed through my entire body like I had been crushed beneath something heavy. My leg hurt the most after my head. Even breathing felt exhausting.I groaned softly, my eyebrows tightening as I slowly forced my eyes open.The bright light above me immediately made my head pound harder.“Lara.”That voice.Deep. Familiar. Worried.I turned my head slightly and immediately regretted it when pain shot through my skull. A soft gasp escaped my lips.“Easy,” Adrian said quickly.My blurry vision slowly cleared, and his face came into view. His green eyes looked tired—more tired than I had ever seen them before. His usually perfect hair was slightly messy, and the sleeves of his black shirt were rolled up carelessly.He looked like he had not left this room in hours.“You’re awake,” he muttered quietly, almost like he could not believe it himsel

    CHAPTER TWENTY-NINELARA’S POVThe moment Adrian’s car stopped in front of my apartment building, my heartbeat slowed reluctantly.I did not want the night to end.And that alone said too much.The city lights reflected softly against the tinted windows while silence settled between us again. Not awkward silence. Heavy silence. The kind that made you aware of every little thing.His scent. His breathing. His presence beside you.I turned slightly toward him.“Thank you for dinner.”Adrian’s green eyes lingered on my face for a second longer than necessary.The corner of his lips tilted faintly.That tiny almost-smile did dangerous things to me.“You should go inside, little lamb.”My stomach fluttered instantly at the nickname.God. If he had kissed me then, I knew I would have kissed him back without hesitation.I opened the car door slowly before stepping outside. The cold night breeze touched my skin immediately. I heard Adrian's start his engine and moved after I entered the build

  • The CEO'S Little Lamb    CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

    CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTADRIAN’S POVI still could not believe he had asked Lara out. Not indirectly. Not professionally.Actually asked her out.The realization had followed me the entire evening like an irritating shadow.Because i did not do dates.I barely tolerated people for longer than necessary.Yet somehow, I found myself waiting impatiently for Lara outside the restaurant earlier tonight.And the worst part?The moment i stepped out of the car—every coherent thought in my head disappeared.She looked breathtaking.That fitted dark emerald dress hugged her body perfectly without trying too hard. Elegant. Sophisticated. Dangerous.The soft material clung to her waist before falling smoothly around her legs, and when she walked toward me in black heels with her curled hair resting over one shoulder—I genuinely forgot how to breathe for a second.Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.But all i could think about in that moment was how badly i wanted to touch her.To pull her against m

  • The CEO'S Little Lamb    CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

    CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN LARA’S POV It was 6:35 a.m., and I was supposed to be getting ready for work. Instead, I had been standing by my window for almost ten minutes, staring at the sunrise slowly stretching across the city skyline. The sky looked beautiful. Soft orange melting into pale pink. Calm. Peaceful. Very unlike my current emotional state. I wrapped both hands around my cup of tea absentmindedly, smiling faintly to myself. As days passed, my relationship with Adrian kept changing naturally. Slowly. Dangerously. We talked more now. Not through texts anymore, but also in his office. Sometimes he would randomly ask if I had eaten. Sometimes he’d send dry one-word replies that somehow still made me laugh. And somehow, without realizing it—i had become comfortable with him. Yoo comfortable. The scary part?I liked it. A lot. Chris had also become less persistent lately. No more random appearances outside my apartment. No more endless calls. No more emotional apology par
