《Teach Me, Mr. CEO》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

EMBERThe atmosphere got rapidly more tense as the showdown between the two of them started. They both kept staring at each other like they'd eat each other alive. Ember watched like the rest of them."Mr Prescott, I know it might be hard for you to keep your personal life separate from your job but you should work on it. You know, to have some professionalism? Ever heard of that?" Zaire said with the most crude expression she had seen and it did catch Travis off guard. "Ah, relax. Both of you. We'll definitely look for an occasion where you two can solve this personally. Now.. shall we meet the teams?" Megan said, trying to control the situation. And her talking made it easier for everyone to double back and focus back on work. "Welcome to each one of you. We are the founders of Florence cosmetics and we are very happy you could join us. This is Megan Davis and..""This is Brad Davis. Here, all of you, surely, are divided into teams but the sole motive is to work together and make ou

EMBER"The welcoming party? Let's mark this as our new beginning as just a strict boss and a dedicated employee and that's all. Nothing more, nothing less," Ember concluded. "Are you in?"As baffled as Zaire already was, he was more confused because he probably couldn't believe what he was hearing. Ember was calling a truce because she was sick of all of this unnecessary tension and always being at odds. Whether it was feelings, a game, hatred or just his revenge, she couldn't afford anymore lost sleep over this. She needed this way more than he realised."Get in the car," he said after a long pause, after he had stared into her expectant eyes for an answer. She hung her head."Alright, fine. At least I tried," she threw her hands up in disappointment before turning around to leave immediately. She started walking towards the exit to the parking lot because he had asked her to leave which she took as a no to her approach."Where are you going?" He said and she halted, her head whipping

MBEREmber stepped out into the garden area, together with Will to get some fresh air. It hadn't been long since they were at the welcoming party but after Zaire's announcement, something had broken deep inside her that she immediately felt tired.Maybe because it was finally time to give up no matter whatever had passed between the both of them. It wasn't like it ever mattered to him anyways. But that was the end to it, thinking anymore about it would only mean sabotaging herself. She didn't want that. It was unfair to Will."You feeling better now?" Will smiled down at her, making her look around to take in the atmosphere. The wind was a little chilly and the stars spread out beautifully above them. The garden was huge with benches and flowers and lampposts. There was an unobstructed view of the sky and that made Ember a little excited."I feel.. great. Come on!" She said with a mouthful grin. Will opened and closed his lips like he was a little taken aback by the switch in her mood.

Ember looked up to really lock her eyes with him. Everything around them was perfect, even the way he had made her feel. She could tell he was thinking of the same thing, just like she was as she let her eyes drop to his lips. He noticed that and immediately tightened her grip on her hand slowly. That's when he leaned in and she gently closed her eyes as she felt him warm breath on her lips. And then, as if dreaming, he placed his lips on her ever so softly. He kissed her, his hands on her waist, and she kissed himn back, her hands on his neck. They kissed gently, slow paced but matched. There was peace and comfort that she almost hated it when they parted. He then smiled wide at her and she smiled back.After that, they sat and talked for a long time, back and forth into an easy and comfortable rhythm between them. Talking to him made her feel a lot better and carefree about the things that had gone downhill. She was glad she could have that moment that made her happy to have this li

EMBERWhen Ember said every word Zaire said can fuck up her mind by dragging it through an endless spiral, she meant it. And she was the living example of such a moment, she was embodying it. Shaking her head repeatedly wouldn't stop his words from echoing in her mind. It felt like his voice was blasting her eardrums.And she was looking at him, wide eyed and flabbergasted. He was calm as always while she was too close to a full blown panicked moment. Had he really just suggested she should date him instead? How much more cruel can he be to joke around with such things, what did he even want to do?"What?""You heard me. I was away all this time so I couldn't say this to you. But I'll be here from now on, around you," he said, fixing his collar like he was talking absolutely normally and like his words were making sense. She just stared at him like he was speaking a different language."What is.. wrong with you? To what extent can you go to just mess with me?" She said with accusing ey
