Tempted by the CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Lana~“Stop the car.” I felt choked up, like I couldn’t breathe well, like there wasn’t enough air and I was drowning in it.“W-what?” Aaron turns to look at me, his eyes widening on seeing me gasping for air, slapping my chest repeatedly, face red.“Stop the car!” The car comes to a halt, I immediately push the door open, rushing out of the car, gasping for air. I fell to my knees, clutching my chest and dragging my breathe as much as I can.“Baby, Lana what’s wrong?” Aaron ran from the other side, crutching on his knees as he holds my shoulders, trail of sweat on his forehead, eyes fill with worry, breathing uneven.“T-th-“ I couldn’t get any words out of my mouth, tears filling my eyes. Aaron holds my face between his hand, his eyebrow pinched with worry. He Sighs, pulling me to him and hugs me. I felt my resolve crumble, tears leaking from my eyes.“I’m here with you, baby. I’m here with you.” He murmurs, rubbing my back. My heart hurt so bad, I wanted to rip it open from my chest

Lana~I walk into the house where Aaron was busy pacing around, eyebrows pinched in a confused manner. “Hey.” I say, dropping the bags in my hand on the table. He snaps his eyes at me, relief showing in his orbs.I quirked an eyebrow up, confused.“What’s up?“ I ask, slipping my feet out of the slippers I had on."You got a delivery.” He says, showing me the card and bag in his hands. “Oh, what’s this?” I ask, walking closer to home eyes on the purple large envelope in his hands.“I don’t know but it came along with this and just made me a little paranoid.” I take the envelope, wondering who would have something delivered to me especially since it isn’t my home.“Who would have something delivered to me when this isn’t my house?.” I ask and he shrugs, passing the bag and envelope to me, he walks to the table behind me, probably about to rummage through the bag I bought.I took out the card inside the envelope, furrowing my eyebrows as I look at it. Nothing was written in it. Just a wh

Lana~Aaron sat in his office, a mountain of files waiting for him. He runs his hand through his hair, a frustrated sigh escaping his lips as he glanced at the files again. The entire table filled with pending work."Maybe I should just take a break, I mean, I can still do all of this next week when we come back.” He says and I chuckled, placing the cup of coffee on the table.“No can’t do. We have three days holiday. I want to rest and not work. It’s better we finish up this and focus on a new week.” I say, taking a sip of my coffee. Aaron groans beside me."This is tiring but fine! You’re staying here with me, no matter how late it’s gets.” He warns.“Yeah yeah, wasn’t planning on leaving you.” I reply, walking over to the table, picked out four of the pending files. “I’ll get to work on these while you do those. Let me know if you need me and I’ll be here in a jiffy.” I tell him. Aaron nods, leaning back on his chair. I smile, dropping the files on his table and leaned close to hi

Lana~I woke up, feeling hot and sticky. My eyes flew open, now staring at the ceiling fan. I grunted, trying to remember the things that happened the night before except nothing came to my brain. A hand was suddenly thrown over my waist. My eyes widen dramatically on seeing a living being hand on my body. I live alone! What the hell is- I turn to my side only to see a snoring Sasha beside me, mouth agape as she snores away. I throw her hand off my body, memories of the night came rushing back to me.I came to Ellie’s place and slept over. Ellie lives in a one bedroom apartment which means we all had to squeeze ourselves into her bed. That’s why I woke up sticky with sweat and feeling hot. Anyone that knows Sasha would know how clingy she is when sleeping.I got up from the bed, only then did I notice the other person who was supposed to be sleeping in bed, only that her place was empty. I furrowed my eyebrows, eyes still a little dazed with sleep, rubbing my eye a little, I walk to

Lana~“So that’s it?” Sasha asks and i nod, removing the keys from the door, turning to see Sasha behind me and Ellie putting the bags into the car. “Come on, we better not safe anymore time of not we would miss our flight.” I say, walking towards the car. Ellie had hopped in and Sasha sat beside her while I got into the seat next to the driver.Ellie has been busy exceptionally quiet for a while now. I know her mother’s death is something she’s struggling to come to terms with but I also know she’s thinking and thanking hard. It’s been years since she left the house and now she suddenly has to go back.I know how it feels to the frightened and nostalgic."Did you tell Aaron you’d be Traveling? I mean it’s quite impromptu.” Sasha asks behind. I hummed in response, remembering how clingy Aaron had got when I told him I would be Traveling with Ellie for her mother’s burial. While he is empathetic towards the whole situation with her, he also didn’t stop talking about how much he’d miss
