Alle Kapitel von One more kiss, Mr. CEO: Kapitel 51 – Kapitel 60

Chapter 51I locked the door, stood by it, and rested my head backward. I breathed out deeply, a bit too excited although I wasn't sure why. It made me think why anybody does drugs when you can just overdose with so much joy and excitement. It was still a cool Saturday, but the reality that Aaron was going to be leaving for school soon, hit me. We decided to see Dad one more time before he goes. Ever since we agreed on it, he has been quiet. It felt awkward but then I really didn't know what to say. Where should I start comforting him? Knowing Dad's critical condition, it pained him that he was going to be far away from him. I'm here with Dad, which means that Aaron was going to be breathing on my neck with several phone calls. That was beside the point, he wouldn't get to just see him like he used to and always be constantly worried. I guess I have too many people to worry about. We stepped out of the house and got to the bus station. Because we were still very hungry, we got a

Chapter 54I was staring directly into his eyes, the affection that he kept for me was gleaming in his eyes. It was heavy with sincerity."Zora, I have fallen in love with you. You don't have to worry about my attitude, we are now in a proper relationship and I am going to act like it. Losing you is something I cannot handle, I will do anything to make sure you feel safe in my arms too, to feel loved, seen, and heard."I was too stunned to speak. I tried to make sense of it all, it felt like time stopped. I know we were not in a dream but it was dreamy. I didn't think I would be so close to hearing him speak that way to me. For the first time in a long while, it meant so much. I was still light, paused and all my emotions have been retrieved from time. "I…I…am…"He smiled. "You don't have to give your reply now, take some time to think about it. If anything, I am a very patient man. You don't have to worry about giving me that answer right away, I just told you how I felt."He shuffl

Chapter 56I really would not know how to begin, if I really wanted to tell him the truth. I was done thinking about everything but my insides were still heavy with all the unending questions, I was finding it hard to concentrate. I was a hot mess. I gripped the edge of the dresser as I stared at myself in the mirror. "Get a hold of yourself, Zora." I had nowhere in particular on my mind but I just wanted to drive aimlessly, while spending some quality time with him. The gentle beginning of my new relationship with him, that was all that mattered to me. I heard a subtle knock on the door. I saw Aaron in the mirror. "What is it? Why are you staring from that angle."He tucked his arms into each other. "Nothing, I'm just trying to understand what is happening in this house?" Confusion was visible on my face. "What do you mean?" "You are about to leave the house to God knows where Kathy is downstairs trying to be in the conversation but her mind and soul aren't in her body. It feels

Chapter 58The building was so big that it had too many floors. I was still in the elevator trying to not be nervous. It wasn't helping that much because I ended up overthinking every one of my decisions.The elevator dinged and hissed open, I stepped out of it slowly. The floor was a big one with so many offices, the directions still echoed in my head. "The conference room opposite the elevator." There was another reception and several cubicles, with people working behind their desks. Chill air blew over me as I walked the passageway, void of people. It was obvious that I was new here but I paid no mind to the stares and questioning looks I got from those standing in the way, glued to the wall with whispers falling from their mouths. I was asked to go into the conference room and knock, so I stayed with finding the conference room first. I found the large room behind the glass doors. Breathing, and pacing myself, I knocked. A feminine voice replied. "Come in." She wasn't the onl

Chapter 60The building was massive and each time I stared at it from the outside, I became even more marveled than the way I first was.The city is filled with so many agencies that know their top priorities. Staring at the building, it felt like I had seen it before. Then I remembered that the previous agency I had been to, had the same similar building. I stepped inside and headed straight to the reception. I informed the staff that I was there for the interview. She put someone else in charge and said "Follow me, please." I didn't hesitate. It was strange at first, but then I realized that they had a very good way of handling their guests or customers. As we walked into the hall, they were pictures of models framed and glued to the white walls. I stared at them as I followed the staff that was leading me to my interview.We stopped in front of the office, she turned the knob off the glass door. A man was waiting in the office, and the lady staff led me inside."This is Zora, on
