The CEO's "Little Man" 60: Bitten By Angelina-bug
Jeremy tried to coax her for the umpteenth time. "It's okay sweetheart. What has happened has already happened and now all we have to do is think of a solution, okay?"Turning to Maxwell, he spoke to him in an understanding tone. "You were jealous."Maxwell abruptly looked at him. It was a statement and not a question. He just stared at Jeremy with an unreadable expression on his face without uttering a word. But Alicia wasn't so quiet. "Huh? What are you talking about? He humiliated my friend and you're talking about jealousy? What he did was pure humiliation at its peak so don't sugar-coat it!"Jeremy shook his head with a half-smile on his face. "No sweetheart. You're not a man so you won't understand how these things are. Believe me, his actions are justified and if I was in his shoes, I might have even done worse. He had once seen me deliberately flirting with Angelina just so as to rile both of them up. And when he came here and found me with a woman who had s
The CEO's "Little Man" 61: Keeping Faith.
That was just the beginning of Maxwell's misery because try as hard as they may, finding Angelina proved to be abortive. All their sleepless nights, hard work, commitment and doggedness were in vain as gradually, the days slipped into weeks and still, there wasn't even the slightest clue on Angelina's whereabouts.Even tracking her phone number was futile because the last place it was traced to was Maxwell's mansion, on the same fateful day that she disappeared. And when Mr. Smith failed to get any lead on her whereabouts, Maxwell hired five more private investigators located in different parts of the country and tasked them all to find his missing wife. Not just that, he hired two more in the United States of America, just in case she might have already returned back home. After about two weeks of fruitless search, a frantic Maxwell became sorely tempted to report the matter to the police but Alicia, who knows Angelina like the back of her hand, stopped him. According to her, since
The CEO's "Little Man" 62: The Runaway Wife.
It was late in the night and as they have been doing every single night for the past month and a half, the two ladies kept chatting back and forth between each other. And these ladies are none other than Isabella and her dearest Maama; Angelina!Right from the first night she left the mansion, Angelina had been communicating with Isabella via the new number that the latter had gotten for her which no one else except the two of them knows about. They chose to be having their daily chats at around ten pm in the night because that's the perfect, secretive time since Lucy is fast asleep and Maxwell had already done his nightly routine of checking up on Isabella and returned to the west wing.Tonight, Angelina had a worried look on her face as she typed a message to Isabella which read, 'But Bella, don't you think we've taken this too far? Let us not punish so many people for the mistake of just one. I'm really worried about Alicia and Jeremy. I heard that she has been missing her lec
The CEO's "Little Man" 62: The Letter
Two more weeks slipped by and just like that, it was already two full months since Angelina disappeared with no trace of her at all. Neither Maxwell nor the couple; Alicia and Jeremy wavered on their search for her as they kept working hard day and night along with their private investigators. But as usual, all their efforts proved to be in vain since they were searching in all the wrong places. Never in their wildest dreams could they have ever imagined that Ethan, who had been steadfast and very actively involved in searching for her, is actually the one keeping her in his house!Even though it pained him a lot to see his best friend and two other people suffering unnecessarily, Ethan had no choice but to let things be as they were. Isabella had approached him on that fateful day two months ago, explaining everything that happened and pleading with him to help her with her plans. Of course Ethan had been reluctant at first, but once Isabella told him that she had a hidden motive beh
The CEO's "Little Man" 64: Bittersweet Reunion
Maxwell was seated on the cold marbled floor in Angelina's bedroom with his back pressed against the wall. To a casual onlooker, he looked exactly like a statue as he just sat there not moving, not saying a word, not blinking his eyes— just not doing anything but staring blankly at a paper in his hands. His usually cold and steely eyes held no emotions whatsoever at the moment. They looked lifeless and empty while his strikingly handsome face looked so pallid and ashen. Anyone with eyes can clearly see that he was in a state of extreme shock and despair.His eyes robotically moved over the words in the letter that Isabella had written for him one after the other, just like a kid learning how to read. It read, 'Hi Dada! Firstly, please forgive me for keeping you in the dark. Hope you are not too mad at me? And please don't blame Dr. Ipkins, he had no choice in the matter as I kinda forced him. So please I beg of you, spare the innocent man.Secondly, do you know that quote— 'If y
The CEO's "Little Man" 65: Determined Husband.
Much later in the day, Angelina's two friends said their goodbyes and left, leaving only her and Ethan with the grieving father. Maxwell was trying his best to hide his emotions but it was quite obvious to anyone with eyes that he was hurting so much over the tragic loss. Even though Angelina was hurting too, she's aware that her pain is nothing compared to Maxwell's who had known and loved Isabella ever since she was born.Therefore, she kept her own feelings at bay and joined forces with Ethan in trying to at least get Maxwell's mind off the gloomy, depressing thoughts. Afterall she made a promise to Isabella to be there for him when he needed her and at the moment, he definitely does so.Presently, they were seated in the living room with cups of hot coffee in each of their hands. Even though Alejandro had prepared lunch earlier, none of them had been able to take anything down, despite trying hard to do so. The grief was surely eating at all of them. And so Angelina had made coffe
The CEO's "Little Man" 66: Changes
As the wise ones say, time heals all wounds but indeed the scars remain. And in Angelina and Maxwell's case, the scar that remained after the pain of losing Isabella was a very huge one. It's already a month after the sad loss and by this time, things still haven't exactly gone back to normal. That's almost impossible after such a great loss. But at least, a semblance of normalcy had returned to their lives. Even though none of them voiced it out, they were both trying their best to fulfill Isabella's wish of moving on with their lives.Gradually, things were returning back to how they were before Angelina's departure. Maxwell had finally resumed his duties as the CEO of M.J Tech. And while he's away, Angelina occupies herself by preparing their meals, spending time with Honey and Lucy who still remained even though her services were no longer required as Maxwell didn't have the heart to fire her. All in all, everything was slowly and gradually getting back to normal— as normal as it
The CEO's "Little Man" 67: Off To Spain
Spain?!" "Yeah. Nanna might be thousands of miles away but her heart and mind is here with us in London. And so since she can't come to us, why don't we go to her?"Maxwell is absolutely right. Ever since the unfortunate loss, there's no day that will pass without Nanna calling the couple at least twice or thrice a day. Sometimes even more, especially when she notices a sign of gloominess on their faces no matter how small it is. That's why most times when she calls, they school their features to look as cheerful as possible so as not to make the older lady worried.Angelina remained quiet for a short while, staring at him with a pondering look, as if trying to decipher him. "That's very thoughtful of you."Maxwell had never been a vain person and always feel awkward whenever he's being complimented. However, Angelina's compliments, no matter how vague, mean a great deal to him and so he always look forward to them.He quickly turned around so she wouldn't be able
