Misfortunes With The Hated CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

“Sometimes I was wondering if you have mood swings.”Oh, this is a first. I look to Yu’s direction who has been using that smug look of his. His knuckle was placed neatly on his cheek as he leaned, making him bend a bit for comfort. He eyes both me who has been reading the magazine next to the stand and behind me, Nina, who has been blushing during the hair session.We are at the salon, the finest in Dawn City and when I found out this morning that Nina had been cutting her own hair in the bathroom, I immediately called Yu to set an appointment for La Beau Salon.Apparently, when they heard of my name, they quickly canceled other appointments and reserved the whole shop for me. So that leaves the two of us watching girls pampering my little (ex) nuisance.Oh right, going back to Yu.“Is it because I’m now getting well with my future step-sister?” Not to mention that I could finally sleep well now and back in my bed after the reconciliation.“Yeah, not long ago you have

I don’t want to show my fear yet, the thought of Clarence spreading it to the whole school and worse, to the whole town that I’m involved with Luca de Milano. And I just started being comfortable around him now! Clarence stares at me for a second before his face brightens, like an imaginary light bulb lits up above his head. Then he leans to grab my chin, rather forcefully.“My, Nina, do you really think of me that way, huh? Well, I can’t blame you after what I did to you recently.” He chuckles, darkly. I push his hand away as I glare at him. “Then, what do you want from me then?”Clarence hums a bit, walking around in circles. “I honestly wanted to be on Luca de Milano’s good side but I guess that’s already crossed out from the list.” He then faces me with a grin.“Say, parvenu, I started to like you. You have been such an entertainment from the very beginning.” He pauses for a while as he leans dangerously closer to me. What’s up with this guy and his intrusion to

“Welcome back, oh, what happened to you, kid?” I am greeted at the sight of Yu casually drinking a bottle of beer while he is flipping channels. He stands up as he observes me before he smirks. “I’ve never seen you this mad since my birthday.”Oh, am I still fuming? Here I thought I have masterfully hidden my emotions so well…perhaps I have been more relaxed lately, especially since I have no reason to hide from my two guardians. “Oh, hi Yu.” Make it as normal as possible. So I smile. “It’s nothing, really.” Now, swiftly change the topic. “It’s rare for me to see you so relaxed.”Not to mention he’s not wearing his Armani black suit like he often does. He’s now wearing a red hoodie and some sweatpants which seems odd to look at first—yet, the clothes fit him like a glove. He chuckles as he ruffles my hair. He enjoys doing that a lot nowadays. “The boss made me take a week leave while he does everything on his own. Fuckin’ asshole wants to show his competence I guess?”“M-More lik

LUCAIt was repulsive.Listening to their presentation of a bright future for women empowerment was supposed to be promising.The objective, the solution to profit by gaining, a realistic approach to an idealistic plan.But beneath Gomez’s "flawless" business proposal to gain our interest, I could see something devious behind that facade.When I found out through a background check, I knew I shouldn’t accept him. The fact that he was aiding one of our rival companies as they profited from human trafficking, I scorned and threw his files on the floor and left.I could care less if Milano Corp will lose an important client after I treated his recommendation but we stand firm with our beliefs.We don't invest in companies that have beyond ethical practices.Andrew, my secretary, was crying his heart out as I walked out while Gomez kept yelling he would make me pay for it.Pathetic.I have my fair share of enemies trying to wring my neck but to no avail.And this is the reason why living

NINAI continue with my usual routine. Practicing the diorama presentation, attending school, studying and rejecting Clarence's invitation to hang out after class.He seems moody each time I turn tail to the opposite direction right when he starts mentioning going out together.Something tells me he doesn't buy my bluff about Gene.But at home, after that night, I am often feeling so nervous being around Luca that I asked him to take a break and would like to self-study instead.Not even a mere mention of my strange behavior that evening.At first Luca is upset and tells me that I still needed “guidance” but seeing that I am serious about my studies, he finally concedes.“If I see your grades dropping again, mark my words I’ll quit being a CEO if you won’t graduate!” He grins after that sudden declaration.And I know he isn’t joking when he declares such things.So, not only do I have to do the self-studying on my own—thanks to my irrational behavior around him—I have to do well or el
