The Ceo's Unexpected Choice Chapter 35 — What She Knew
By six-thirty, Zara had changed her mind about dinner at least four times.The first time, she told herself she was too tired.The second time, she reminded herself that Adrian had a company worth billions to worry about and probably didn't need to be spending his evening taking his assistant—former assistant, apparently—to dinner.The third time, she looked at the dress hanging on the back of her bedroom door and decided she actually wanted to go.The fourth time, she changed the dress.She stood in front of her mirror, staring at herself.“This is ridiculous,” she muttered.She wasn't getting married.She was going to dinner.With Adrian.Which somehow made it worse.Her phone buzzed.Adrian: I'm outside.Zara looked at the message.She checked the time.6:58 p.m.He was early.She grabbed her bag and hurried downstairs.When she stepped outside, she found him leaning against the side of his car, checking his phone.He looked up.For a second, he didn't say anything.Zara immediatel
The Ceo's Unexpected Choice Chapter 34 — The Offer
By eight-thirty the next morning, the atmosphere at Knight Technologies had changed.Zara noticed it before she even reached Adrian’s office.People were speaking more quietly than usual. Groups of employees stood near the elevators with their phones in their hands, discussing something that clearly mattered. Two members of the finance team walked past her without their usual morning greetings, both looking unusually serious.She slowed down.Something had happened.Evelyn appeared from behind her desk carrying two cups of coffee.“Before you ask, yes, something is going on.”Zara accepted one of the cups. “I wasn't going to ask.”“You were absolutely going to ask.”“I was going to mind my business.”Evelyn gave her a look. “Since when?”Zara laughed softly, but her eyes moved toward Adrian's office.The door was open.He was already inside, standing beside the window with his phone pressed to his ear. His suit jacket was off, his sleeves rolled slightly above his wrists. He looked ca
The Ceo's Unexpected Choice Chapter 33
By Thursday afternoon, Zara had officially become the busiest person at Knight Technologies.At least, that's how it felt.She had meetings.Research.A presentation to prepare.Three different marketing documents to review.And an annoying amount of coffee keeping her alive.She dropped a folder on Evelyn's desk."Please tell me this is the last thing."Evelyn opened it."Definitely."Zara sighed in relief."Thank God.""Actually..."Zara slowly looked at her.Evelyn smiled."You have a meeting with Adrian in twenty minutes."Zara stared at her."Why?""I don't know.""Did he say what it's about?""No.""Of course."Evelyn laughed."You know, for someone who claims he's not your boyfriend, you spend a lot of time talking about him."Zara grabbed her folder."He's my boss.""Sure.""That's all.""Of course."Zara walked away before Evelyn could say anything else.She reached Adrian's office and knocked."Come in."She entered.Adrian was standing by the window, his phone in his hand.
The Ceo's Unexpected Choice Chapter 32 — No More Pretending
Zara woke up the next morning with one thought.She was quitting.Not Knight Technologies entirely.Just whatever strange, confusing thing was happening between her and Adrian.She was tired of the staring.The late-night conversations.The way one smile from him could ruin her entire train of thought.And especially the way he had started looking at her like she was more than his assistant.It was becoming dangerous.She got to the office at exactly 8:03 a.m.Adrian was already there.Of course.He looked up from his laptop."You're late."Zara checked the clock."Three minutes.""Three minutes is late.""Good morning to you too."His mouth twitched."Good morning."She dropped a file on his desk."Your 9 a.m. meeting is confirmed. Your 11 a.m. meeting has been moved to two. And you have lunch with the investors at one.""Cancel lunch."Zara looked at him."Why?""I'm not going.""You can't just cancel a meeting with investors.""I can.""You're the CEO. That doesn't mean you're allo

Adrian stared at the document.Zara stared at Adrian.Neither of them spoke.The room suddenly felt too small.His mother's voice finally broke the silence."What does that document mean?"Adrian didn't answer.He was already scrolling through the attached files."There are twelve transfers," he said."From when?" Zara asked."Twenty-four years ago."His eyes moved quickly across the screen."Richard's company received money from Knight Technologies."Zara frowned."Why?""I don't know.""Was it illegal?"Adrian looked at her."Not necessarily."That answer somehow made things worse.His mother stepped closer."Adrian."He turned the phone toward her."Do you recognize this?"She studied it.Her face changed."I've seen that account number before.""Where?""Your father kept an old file in his study."Adrian's jaw tightened."Do you still have it?""I don't know.""Think."She looked at him."Your father destroyed most of his old business files before he died.""Most?""There were a f

The woman’s words hung in the air.Your father.Zara stared at her."My father?"The older woman nodded slowly.Adrian stepped forward."Who are you?"The woman looked at him, and something about her expression made him uncomfortable."My name is Margaret Cole."Adrian's eyes narrowed."That name means nothing to me.""It should."His mother stepped in."Margaret, this isn't the place.""No." Margaret shook her head. "We've hidden enough."Zara's heart hammered."Hidden what?"Margaret looked at her."Your father was alive when your mother left."Zara blinked.She had grown up with almost no information about him.Whenever she'd asked her mother, Evelyn had always changed the subject.Sometimes she'd simply said, He's gone.Zara had assumed that meant dead.Now she realized it hadn't."Who was he?"Margaret glanced at Adrian.Then at his mother."Richard Hayes."Zara's face went blank."Nadia's father?""Yes."The world seemed to stop."Nadia's father was my father?"Margaret nodded.
