Semua Bab A Date With The CEO: Bab 21 - Bab 30

CHAPTER 19: KISS, KISS! They were all gathered together, like the family they were, in a circle where the main points of attention were Leonardo and Emma, plus Leonardo. No one had ever seen anyone so elegant here, it was heard to be said, sometimes a morbid silence was formed, and all eyes fell on them, who barely spoke, Emma was too embarrassed and stressed for the words to flow naturally enough, so she had to force herself to speak."So, Emma" The girl raised her eyes when she heard her uncle's voice calling her, she cursed inwardly, knowing that an awkward and out-of-place question was coming. "Tell us a little about your companion, he is very quiet".At that moment, Leonardo smiled, like someone who hears ‘happy birthday’ sung to him and doesn't know precisely what he should do, or how he should act. His eyes fell on Emma, who seemed to know less than he about how to respond to her family."Yes, he's very quiet," was all Emma said, crossing her fingers that the conversation woul

She remained paralyzed, completely static, the color left her face, her limbs lost their strength, and not falling down turned out to be a complete struggle for her. With great effort, she looked into his eyes, completely perplexed, Leonardo's words resounded like violent thunder in her ears, speech left her for an instant. Holding the hand of her boss, who had just proposed her to be his girlfriend, Emma trembled. Was it all a crude joke? She wanted to know, still without giving him any answer. She looked at him, hoping that regret would show in his eyes, but she saw only firmness in them, he had said what he had said and he didn't seem to regret it."Your girlfriend?" she stammered when she was finally able to loosen the choking lump in her throat."Emma, don't you realize that I liked you from the first time I saw you?" The girl did not answer, still holding on to him, looking in all directions, as if trying to find an escape from a situation that did not have one. The firmness in

CHAPTER 23: AN ANSWER.It was the most beautiful place she had ever seen in her entire life.A huge off-white house, with each of its margins adorned, a huge chandelier adorned the ceiling, Emma noticed as she entered the place, holding Leonardo's hand. She swallowed saliva, trying to regulate the volume of her breathing, she felt how a couple of glances fell on them, the first thing her paranoid mind told her, was that from far away everyone could see that she was not high class, that she was just a simple secretary.Leonardo looked at Emma, tense as a rock, but beautiful as a diamond, it was very easy to read her eyes, it was as if by looking at her, he had the ability to know what were the thoughts that were in her head, at that moment, she felt the glances stuck in her body, in the bodies of both, she did not know that she was the first woman with who Leonardo White went to a party like that. Of course she would be the winner of every one of everyone's stares.Soft music could be

CHAPTER 25: ONE MORE.Leonardo tilted his head carefully, fixing his gaze on an indeterminate point."If she had been one more, I wouldn't have brought her to this place, dad," was the only thing he answered, without looking at his father, a man who was quite well-built despite his age, "Don't you think so?""It makes sense," the man admitted, "But I don't know what tactics you are starting to use now, Leonardo".The blond gave his father a withering look."What do you mean by ‘tactics’? Do you believe all those rumors about me too? Because fuck, everything does believe all that shit, first Emma believing those rumors, the stupid secretaries at your company spreading it around, and now you, my father, believing them?""Leonardo, we both know these are not just rumors"."These are things that happened years ago, Dad, and you know they did, so why is it so hard to believe that I changed? Damn it, have you ever seen me doing the same thing again?""No, but...""Exactly, I stopped being l

CHAPTER 27: LIAM.Three weeks had passed since Leonardo had fired those two secretaries, and if Emma had known the consequences that this would bring, she would have insisted on not having them fired; everyone in the company pointed an accusing eye at her, everyone told her that it was her fault that those two innocent girls had been fired, but no one told her directly, because, according to what Emma had heard, everyone was afraid that she would go to Leonardo to tell him about it. It seemed crazy to her how she went from being a nobody in that company, to being one -not to say the most- of the most hated ones there, cruel looks she met at every corner, if she needed help, and Leonardo was not by her side, nobody offered it, but to her joy, he was always by her side, even, to a point somewhat... suffocating for Emma."I'm quite a romantic man when I fall in love" she remembered his words, a smile tore from her face, she couldn't say she was lying, in a month, she had received the lov
