NEW BOOK( THE CEO AND ME )2Irene8The cabinet door creaked open, I reached for a bowl before closing it with a click. I broke the two eggs on the surface of the counter.Crack.Crack. I whisked the eggs, a rhythmic clink of the fork as it hit the glass bowl filled the kitchen.The tea kettle whistled. The eggs mixture sizzled in the pan, followed by salt and pepper.I leaned on the counter looking through the window, the autumn wind blew outside with whooshing sounds.Or at least that was what it would have sounded like to anyone else. Not me.I was deaf.Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed my teenage little b

My eyes widened as I quickly pulled my arm from the lady grip, and pulled the cart out of their way, feeling my face heat up in embarassement.The lady waited outside as the men walked in. Before the doors closed, my dark eyes met penetrating bright blue orbs. Then they were gone.The woman turned to me, and if looks could kill I would have been six feet under. She glared at me in so much anger someone would have thought that I had just told her her red suit did not match her red hair. It really didn't."What were you thinking?! Do you have any idea who that was?! you c...."I couldn't read her lips after that because she shook her head and spoke way too fast. But by the way she was moving her hand wildly, I could have guessed she wasn't pleased.I guess I screwed up, I thought fishing my note book from my pocket.

I looked at him after he finished, not sure if I read his lips correctly, or maybe just wishing I hadn't read them correctly. He stared at me for a couple of seconds, His heavy breathing indicated that he had been yelling."Forget it. You'll never get it anyway", he said before stalking out of the apartment. Slamming the door so hard that I felt the vibrations, and leaving me stunned into silence.I fisted my shaky hands and stood up, walking to my room and locking my door before I curled into a ball under my blanket.I gulped down the knot in my throat, but the tears still spilled, wetting the pillow under my cheek. Tears of anger and sadness, tears of frustration.That was a feeling I was very well familiar with ever since I lost my hearing. I had thought it would go away with time, but I was wrong. It never did. It was always there, lurking deep inside, eating

Leo.3"I swear, sir! I had no idea!"The man said with pleading eyes that flickered away from mine more often than not. I knew people found it hard to return my gaze, but the least this bastard could do was try hard enough if he wanted to convince me that he wasn't aware of the theft that had been going on under his nose.Sweat beaded his forehead. His hands tugged nervously at his tie, loosening it."You're telling me", I said in a calm voice tapping my finger on the arms of the chair I was sitting on.Hischair inhisoffice in the finance department floor, while he stood on the other side of the desk, "that you, the head of the financial department of the whole corporate,

"Whoa," I said holding up one of my hands, "it's okay, you can stay".She froze, looking at me as I stepped on the surface, I decided against standing and just sat down. She stayed up."You can stay," the words tumbled out of my mouth before I knew what I was saying, "if you want to be alone, I can go", I added then made a move to stand up.She quickly shook her head and her hands no. I nodded fighting back a smile then crossed my legs in a comfortable position while she stood there for a few minutes, just looking at me.Then a giddiness I hadn't felt in so long bubbled in my chest when she sat down, cross legged, caddy corner to me where she had originally been. Far enough so I couldn't reach her but close enough to hear what I said.1"You come here often?" I asked looking at her, her eyes were fixed on my lips as she nodded. It m

He nodded then did as told. Lydia cringed when she took a sip. She eyed her drink suspiciously, before shrugging and finishing her drink."Hi! You made it!" A woman called from my other side, looking at me in a smile I recognized all too well. Her brown eyes trailed over my suit clad body. I had seen her before, probably a model for one of Lydia's shows. She was attractive, but her eyes held a glint I was well familiar with."I'm Selena, I asked Lydia to invite you, I didn't think you would actually come", she said as I shook her soft hand. She squeezed mine a little before letting go. She flipped her brown hair- or was it red? I couldn't tell under the dim lights- over her shoulder, then joined the three of us by the bar.1Jayden was trying to keep Lydia from drinking too much. But there wasn't much he could do once she blinked her baby blue eyes at him. He was making a commend

LeoThe next morning was the longest damn morning of the whole year. Lunch just wouldn't arrive.5"If none of the employees are promoted, then we'll have to hire", the human resources head said, rubbing her temple."Well if we hire, we'll have to do it quietly. The last thing we want is the press getting wind of what happened", another employee retorted as he tapped on the meeting table, staring at Suzannah.I sighed and decided to put a stop to this fool show that had been going on for a couple of hours now. Finding a replacement for the head of the financial department of an international corporation was not as difficult as these idiots made it be. They just loved making things complicated, so
