Woke Up As A CEO

Things were still like a dream for Oliver. He can't help but doubt that all of this is just a dream. Trying to slap his face, he stops his hands.         "Wait, if... I am here as someone that is not really me, then... What happened to my own body and the person who was the owner of this body?"        His eyes shut open as he realized something.           "I..."      *woosh*           Holding his head, he can't help but sit back in his chair. Memories started to flow in his mind like a faucet filling up his small cup that was about to break.         *crack*        As soon as the small cup shattered into pieces, the water flowing from the faucet made its way to the big cup that resembles the one before. The only difference is that this t

    Oliver didn't look back at his brother and head straight to the table that was prepared for him. He look at Herald who is following behind him.  ‘Should I ask him if he wants to sit with the same table as me? Or should I ask for another table for him to sit at?’ He shook his head and remember that Herald never dine with him even for once. Why? Herald is the type of person that won’t do anything if he wasn’t asked to do it. Oliver is not the type of person who will ask about other’s feeling. Since childhood, Oliver never had the chance to feel that others are wishing good for him. He never had the situation in his life on where somebody ask his condition nor ask his opinion. That may be one of the many reasons why Oliver never ask others about their feelings and thoughts. He won’t know it unless people convey their feelings or thought.  Oliver sat in the chair that looks comfortable and expensive. Still, that seat is not

    The man sitting gulped as he heard Herald’s voice. He smiled avoiding Herald’s sight. While his right hand scratches his nape, a burst of small laughter can be heard.        ‘That old man always says that my voice is irritating. That my voice alone can boil his blood in anger. Knowing that, I never tried to use my voice in front of the people I respect. This is my way of not making them hate me.  This man in front of me, I don’t like him. His very face is telling me that he is a bad person.’        Oliver is eating his meal. He can feel gazes from Marco’s table. He takes a glimpse at them and notices that Marco is not the one looking at him. It is a girl sitting beside him. With a big earrings hanging in her small ears, she rolled her eyes even if she didn’t realize that Oliver notice her actions. A small smirk crept on his lips.

The place that was once filled with decorative furniture that came from different places all over the world was nowhere to be seen. All that is left was a silent spaces filled with dirt and molds.   After letting out a faint sigh, Oliver asked himself. ‘So, where shall I start?’   “Herald” “Yes, Sir?” “Among all the maids and guards, is there anyone worth trusting to?”   Gently shaking his head, worries can be seen crepting in his face. ‘Should I answer him truthfully? But, what if my words are wrong? What if my answer destroys someone’s life? What if there is a few who is loyal to Sir but… that is someone I not know of?’   With his mind full of doubts and hesitations… he picked up his phone and started to type something.   “Ple

  After a small while of tranquility, footsteps was heard. The maid, gardener, chef and guards already went back in their stations. Only Oliver and Ana was left in the kitchen.  ‘Who else are here?’  A small bark lapped with a hail of small steps.  “Herald?... What are you doing here?” Oliver was cut out for a moment as he forgot how he called the dog. He didn’t gave it a name yet which is not that pleasing for it serves as hindrance for him to call its attention. Herald slightly bowed to show his respect to Oliver. He was carrying the dog a while ago but then it jumps rushing down as soon as he saw Oliver.   “I forgot that I picked this dog up. Even so, what are you doing here?” Herald took his phone and typed his response. Even with a small temper for what happened, Oliver didn’t say anything even if he find it annoying to converse with Herald like this. ‘It is
