Semua Bab THE CEO'S PET: Bab 41 - Bab 50

After Amber broke up with Eddy and took up Tom’s offer, she was really invested in arts that she went to public libraries, art exhibitions, museums and other art-related events in order to fit into the art world by gaining knowledge and experience, but little did she know Eddy was stalking her. He wondered why she suddenly became invested in things like that, but when he couldn’t find any answer to his question after tailing her for a few days, he finally planned to give up. He had ignited his car’s engine that afternoon when she came out of the house and got into Tom’s car on the other side of the street. “What is he doing here? Why is she getting into his car?”, he murmured, and instantly followed them when they took off. They never took it into account that they might be followed and just went their own way to the hidden house. He followed them down to the house and saw them as they giggled lovingly on their way in. He waited there till the time they finally came out at night and

Tom was going through some documents in his office when he noticed a particular file missing. He went to check Amber’s desk at her office and found it beside the mini calendar on her table. He was about to leave for his office when he noticed a small circle on the calendar. Upon checking well, he saw that it was her birthday she circled. He just went back to his office without adding any meaning to it but after sometimes, it began to linger in his mind. He pondered about what to get her as a birthday gift, and he realized that he had never gifted her one. He made a reservation at the restaurant and told them to get a cake ready for that day. She didn’t even know that it was her birthday because she had been so busy, and he noticed it too. He was slightly happy that it would at least be a genuine surprise for her. He made her leave work early before she actually got a whim for it by looking at her calendar and took her to the restaurant. Hearing her randomly talk about her experienc

Amber had run into Harvey L once again at the hotel the previous night, and they decided to grab a drink at the mini-bar in the hotel. They talked about random things, and she even thanked her for rescuing her the last time at the club. “I am sorry, I didn’t thank you for the incident at the club sooner. I should buy you a meal soon to make up for it”, Amber stated, and she waved it. “I only did what I should do, so there is no need for that”, she told her, and they clinked their glasses. “What are you doing around here? Have you moved to this hotel?”, Amber questioned further and Harvey shook her head. “I have to hide here for a bit. Someone I don’t like is now in Paris, and he might soon find out that I am here which he shouldn’t, so I should lie low and keep myself off his radar till he’s gone”, she replied and that only sparked Amber’s curiosity. “And who might that be? I mean the person that shouldn’t know of your presence?” “A trash that cannot even be recycled. He is the v

Immediately she got a call from Lawrence about his presence in Chicago, she notified Tom and insisted that this was the perfect time to come clean to Lawrence. He wanted to decline, but he summoned up courage and, thanks to her persuasion, he felt the need to reconcile too. Lawrence was taken aback by what she had just revealed to him. What does she mean by her friend is her man? How did she know about that, or why is she sure? “Your man? I hope you are not mistaken, it might just be a mix-up somewhere”, he stuttered, but she flashed a short smile. “He was the one that told me that line, and you recognized the line when I used it. “My friend gave me Umbra because of my strokes”, she answered swiftly, and Lawrence held his head in pain. The revelation was so shocking for him that he didn’t even know how to react. His mind flashed by to when he almost confessed to his man’s fiancé, but that was not the issue at hand, his friend he had been looking for all his life was right outside,

Tom and Amber didn’t know that the secret house had been raided by Joseph, who couldn’t wait to get his hand on solid evidence because there seemed to be none. He also got information that Tom had Lawrence lodging in one of their expensive rooms when he came to Chicago. “There is something they are all hiding and that will be exposed when I send this to the press”, he bellowed as he entered the secret house after breaking down the lock through the help of an expert. He searched every nook and cranny, found the artwork and another copy of the contract they both signed. “This should be enough to get them and let’s see how they go about it when the whole world knows that they were being deceived by them” Joseph laughed and ordered his secretary to send the evidence to the press. The paid reporter reported just as Joseph wanted and released the news that a source had sent in a report that the artist was pretending to be someone else. Just as she was watching it on the TV in the meetin
