All Chapters of Mr. CEO's Executive Secretary: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

After dropping by the City Hall to submit the documents, Jacob went straight to the hospital. “Sshh…” as soon as he stepped into Joyce’s room, Tristan glared at him.Looking around, he noticed Joyce sleeping on her hospital bed, while Tristan was sitting on the chair next to it, holding her hand. ‘How sweet! I wish it was Belle instead,’ he muttered.Jacob rooted for Belle, he wanted her to be his boss and friend’s future partner. Unfortunately, things turned out unexpectedly and Tristan had already made his choice. He could only feel sad for the love team he was cheering for.Tristan slowly removed Joyce’s hand from his so as not to wake her up. He then walked towards the couch, not far from Joyce’s bed. Jacob immediately sat down next to him to give him a report.“I visited your grandfather, he asked me to tell her to visit him. Maybe whatever it is he has for Belle, he wants to give it personally.” Tristan nodded before gesturing for him to proceed. “I’ve also submitted the divorce

After leaving the De Clarion Villa, Belle visits her new house as it’s not far from there. When she got in, she immediately looked at how she should have it set up, what furniture she needed, and all that.From there, she went straight to the mall, up to the floor where the furniture section is. Using the card Tristan gave her, she purchased everything she needed.She was told that it would all be delivered to her new house the next day. All she could do for now was wait for everything to arrive.As there was only an hour left before her set meeting with Lawrence, she went straight to the Williams Villa from the mall. She was already feeling anxious about this dinner meeting.While on her way, she kept thinking about how else she should spend her money. However, no matter how hard she tried to squeeze her brain, she can’t come up with anything.Looking out her car’s window, she realized that she had already been in front of the villa for several minutes. As her thoughts were somewhere

“John? What happened?” Belle answered the phone quickly after seeing Frederick’s number on the screen. However, it was John who was calling and not the old De Clarion.“Belle, are you busy?”“No, I’m at home right now, I just woke up,” Belle glanced at the clock on her wall, it was already fifteen past ten in the morning.“That’s good. Mr. De Clarion wants to know if you can come to the villa right now. He needs your help on something.”Belle’s brows furrowed, “Mr. De Clarion who?” she asked.“It’s the old De Clarion, little girl,” John told her, chuckling, as he already knew why she asked that.According to Jacob, Belle’s been avoiding Tristan since the divorce. His son told him that they hadn’t seen the woman since she left the company.Jacob also told him that they only happened to see her from afar. They waited outside the villa just to get a glimpse of her, as Tristan didn’t want her to see him as well.“Alright, tell Grandpa I’ll be there in an hour.”When John ended the call, s

“Any news?” Vernice asked when she saw Esme busy reading a magazine in the living room.She had been anxious to know what happened to Esme’s plan of poisoning the old De Clarion and putting the blame on Belle. She was about ready to celebrate it.She shook her head at her daughter, “They got lucky! The old man was rushed quickly to the hospital. Maybe next time I should make a move on the butler too, so no one can save him!”Vernice frowned at her mother’s response. She clicked her tongue in annoyance before plopping on the couch.“I heard that bitch, Belle, got slapped though. Not sure if Tristan would sue her, but he blatantly accused her of poisoning Frederick De Clarion. I heard he also vandalized her company as soon as he found out what happened to his grandfather.”Vernice chuckled. “I can’t imagine Tristan being that childish when taking revenge. He should have sent her to jail and let her rot there,” she smirked.“We’ll try again. We will try again and we won’t stop until we g

After Belle gathered her things, she immediately left the suite. Eric chased after her but she didn’t even bother looking back.Dispirited and guilty at the same time, Eric let out a long, frustrated sigh before he turned on his heel and headed back to his suit. He walked straight to Tristan, eyeing the man from head to toe.“Does it hurt?” he asked. Tristan nodded without second thoughts. “Good for you, you very well deserved that!”Tristan glared at him. “Thompson, I really don’t like you right now!” he spat at him.Eric snorted, “The feeling is mutual. I bet even Jacob here hates you at this very moment.”Jacob, who'd been quiet since Eric and Belle stepped out of the bedroom, suddenly looked up. He glanced at Tristan and saw him glaring at him.He wanted to say something but he chose to stay quiet instead. ‘Why is Thompson dragging me into this? Is he trying to get me killed?’ he asked himself.“Do you even know what happened last night? Do you know why I brought her here? Do you?
