The CEO's "Little Man" のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Luca Giovanni put the final touches on one of the most spectacular jobs he has ever done in the twenty years of his career. With one last brush through the short, chestnut brown hair, he spoke in his deep Italian accent, "That's it! You're all set to go!" Then, turning the chair around so that the person sitting on it was now facing the mirror, he added, "Say hello to the latest young Adonis in town! Sei un bel ragazzo giovane, Angelina!" (You make such a handsome young dude, Angelina!) Smiling, Angelina corrected him. "Marcus…I'm now…" She trailed off as her eyes fell on her reflection on the mirror, or should that be 'his' reflection? Because the person reflected on the mirror was in no way like a woman, far from it! With her mouth agape, Angelina McQueen stared in utter shock at the reflection staring back at her. Jumping up on her feet, she kept turning from one side to the other, checking out her new, completely different look. If not for the familiar plum

Although Angelina is not really a very religious person, she did take time to pray to the almighty before stepping out of the elevator upon reaching the topmost floor.Having seen the splendid, elegant and exquisite decor displayed in all the floors she has so far been to in this top-notch building, Angelina was surprised to see the floor of the CEO himself. She had expected to see even more breathtaking and captivating splendour but everywhere was just…bland.Yes, that's the right word---bland as it looked quite nondescript compared to the other floors she had been to. It lacked the interesting features and monumental decorations that made the other floors captivating. There wasn't even a single ornamental item in sight except some few devices she knows nothing of...at least not yet. There was a coffee station, a small lounge which Angelina presumed was for his VVIP guests as there was a larger one on the twentieth floor, then two offices. She could clearly see that the first one wa

Chapter Five: His Deepest Secret.Observing protocols, Angelina reported at the receptionist's desk and to her disappointment, she learnt from one of the receptionists, David, that the big boss was already on seat. But that notwithstanding, she was still confident she'd impress him as she has arrived forty minutes before schedule.Upon arrival at her new office on the topmost floor, Angelina found a box of a brand new mobile phone and a laptop, both bearing the logo of the company----M.J Tech. On top of the box, there was a short note written in a very neat, cursive handwriting which read, 'As long as you're within the premises of M.J Tech, these are your only gadgets. Personal mobile phones and laptops are prohibited.Take note.'Angelina didn't need anyone to tell her who wrote that note, it was undoubtedly the CEO himself. Even though she had never seen his handwriting before, this one had his name written all over it----it's just as sophisticated, elegant and majestic as the ma

Chapter Seven: Her Honey Just when his lips were a fraction of an inch away from hers, a knock sounded on the door. And just like that, within the blink of an eye, everything changed. One second Angelina's body heat was skyrocketing to boiling point, and the next, she felt cold and bereft all of a sudden. With her heart still pounding wildly, she opened the eyes that she wasn't even aware of when she closed them. To her shock, she found Maxwell relaxedly sitting in his characteristic majestic and graceful way on his leather recliner. Then, as another knock sounded, he called out in a calm, baritone voice in that deep British accent of his that she found so attractive. "Come in." As Declan, one of the guys from the IT department whom she had gotten acquainted to, came in and proceeded to discuss some issues with the big boss, Angelina just remained standing with her back against the wall, exactly the way Maxwell left her, looking at him in bewilderment. What kind of stuff i

Taking a deep breath, Angelina knocked on Maxwell's door. His room was three bedrooms away from hers on the second floor while Ethan opted for the one downstairs. And when the aloof CEO opened the door, she had to take in another lungful of air and school her features to look unaffected and indifferent.But truth be told, she was indeed affected. She had never seen him in anything but corporate suits and so seeing him in a casual shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the first two buttons undone really unnerved her. Not just his lean, muscular and attractive hands were exposed to her view but also, the top part of his chest where she could distinctly see his flawless and fair skin. Angelina quickly averted her eyes to avoid seeing something else she was not prepared to. "Why are you always in formal clothes? You know this isn't the office and you're allowed to wear casuals, right?"It was quite unusual to hear the big boss making casual, not office-related talks especially making
