Semua Bab CEO's Hidden Marriage: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Monday:-“Keep an eye on Hunter’s activities. I’m sure he is up to something. At no cost shall we lose the project.” Viaan ordered Neil, making his way out of the common elevator.He had informed Neil about Hunter’s challenge from the last day. Though the man was anything but scared, he couldn’t behave carelessly in this matter. His rival was too smart to fake a warning. And his dreams were too valuable to be risked with such challenges.“Yes, sir! I’ll ask our sources to keep him under scrutiny. Also, I’ve checked the progress of our team; they are doing brilliantly. So, rest assured, Sir. We will get the project.” Neil said in a confident tone, adjusting his glasses.As soon as they stepped inside the office arena, Viaan’s eyes scanned the entire area where everyone was standing up hurriedly, seeing their boss. They have been laughing and chatting when he entered and the scene of nonchalance early in the morning boiled his blood.With his hands on his waist and jaws clenched, Viaan

“They found drugs in Leo’s bag.” Neil blurted, panic still evident on his creased forehead as he panted hard to control his quickened breath out of running.Gulping a good amount of air, he pushed the half-open door and stepped inside.“Drugs?” Viaan jerked straight in his chair as soon as Neil broke the news. A deep crease of shock stroke his face; the man looked bewildered at his assistant.Everyone present in the room gasped loudly hearing the word ‘drugs’. They all have known Leo for his clean background for all these years, hence news like this was really shocking to everyone. The conference room reverberated with blurry mumbles as they shared their curious looks with each other.Neil walked a few steps close to Viaan, who was waiting for an explanation. “Yes, Sir. I received a call on your phone from the police station. The officer said that they caught him with drugs when he was coming out of a shop near Down Street.” Neil narrated the story as he had received a call from the p

“My poor phone will be waiting for your presence, pretty lady!” Hunter said in a flirty tone, waving at Kiara who was walking in her cubicle’s direction.“Sure!” she giggled, before turning her back to the man.Hunter and Kiara had a short but jovial time before Kiara’s coffee break was over and she went back to continue her work, but not before exchanging their phone numbers, which was, again, Hunter’s initiative.Unknown to Kiara, the man had immediately saved her number by the name ‘Pretty Lady’ with two red heart emojis. A winning grin spread across his face after Kiara disappeared from his line of sight. He bit his lower lip and ruffled his shiny brown hair near the nape. His eyes shone with the spark of new enthusiasm.“Just when you believe it’s all fated, I’ll make sure it turns out to be one!” A determined promise was what he made to himself, caressing the contact name on his phone’s screen.Hunter Brown walked out of ‘Ally Natures’ in a cheerful mood, which soon turned sour.

“See, I know this is totally unexpected to you, but there’s no harm in this proposal. You’ll be benefited instead. And you should be happy you got such an opportunity at the very start.” Angelina replied, addressing the concerns Kiara had come to her with. She leaned forward, crossing her fingers over the table.Kiara looked at her with a perplexed face. After coming out of the cabin, she straight went to Angelina, sharing her concerns. She could only think of her recruiter to help her out of this situation.“But, Ma’am, I’m not confident with this role, I —”“Kiara, listen to me and listen carefully. As a senior, I’m saying this for your own good. Denying the proposal might affect your current position. Whereas accepting this will not only secure your position here but also favor you with a huge amount which can be pretty helpful to you.” said the senior, convincing the girl or probably manipulating her. “See, I can understand your dilemma that you want a simple desk job and this is

The words that left Kiara’s mouth slashed something inside Viaan. He couldn’t decipher what pricked him so hard that he felt himself getting more agitated. A muscle of his jaw ticked.Rage pulsed through his veins! His cold eyes glared at the girl in his arms.How dare she spat back and in that tone? She is answerable to him, not the other way around.“How dare you use that tone on me?” He pulled her closer to his chest, gripping her arms painfully. A quick moan of pain came out of her mouth.“Leave me, Mr. Adams, you’re hurting me!” She wiggled and twisted her body, but to no avail.The closeness was affecting her, though scared was her inner feeling.“You better watch your tone when I’m in front of you,” Viaan warned, hissing.“That’s the matter, Mr. Adams. I don’t want you to ever come in front of me.” She spat back venomously.A smirk appeared on Viaan’s face upon hearing her rebellious words. “Well, reality check, Miss Jones, you have to face me often… very often.”His words trig
