Secret Baby For The Billionaire CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

JULIE"We don't always get what we deserve"Life doesn't always give us what we yearn for. That's one sad realization I've come to agreement with. The crazier part? We can't do anything about it, but take it in good fate.The awkward situation with Max the other Sunday, got me overthinking a lot. I should have handled the issue better, instead of outrightly telling him off like he meant nothing."Was I too mean?""Did I really have to call him just a Friend?""He's far too sweet to Bryan and I think I was really unfair to him, considering that he meant no harm"All sorts of thoughts moved in and out of my head. I felt really bad for giving him those signals and crushing his heart. All he wanted was just to see me happy, but I just saw him as nothing but a friend. Maybe I'm just a bad person. I wondered if things would ever go back to normal between the both of us. Before that day, Max usually dropped by my office almost everyday. We'd crack jokes, tell each stories, gossip about the

ADAM"The empire? I thought you see everything about me on the news. Why still ask?" I joked."Yeah, that's the news. But I still need some inside story from you""Well, everything is going as it should. We're about to launch our fashion line too. Majorly producing sportwears and accessories. Should be out there in no distant time""Fashion? You know one thing I admire about you? You love exploring different markets. I love the fact you're not getting boxed up in one sector" He praised me.If only he knew the reason I decided to explore the fashion industry."Thank you, Thank you. Get me another glass, please""Aye!"While he was getting another glass of drink for me, my thoughts wandered to what Zedd told me about his marriage.Few years ago when I got to know Zedd, he was a social bee. I could boldly say he played a huge part in introducing me to that lifestyle. Every party we attended together felt our presence. We were notorious for breaking millions of hearts in clubs. Ladies fr

ADAM"It's been a hell of a ride, my dear. Adam over here doesn't give me a breathing space at the office" She replied."Don't let the grumpy guy get into your head. I'm sure he'd come around" he said, while staring at me to know if I reacted to his diss."What about you? How's married life? Got any kids yet?""Kids? Nahh. We're just taking it slowly for now. She still wants to be done with a lot of things, before we can settle down with kids""That's not a bad idea. I wish you both the best, Zedd" She said, then focused on me."You still don't want to speak to me? You want to keep acting cold towards me? Tell me, Adam, what exactly did I do to you? I'll really like to know" "Samantha, can we not do this here, please. I came here to relax and not get into some long arguments" I replied."Well, that's just fine. Actually, I didn't come here just to chill like I said before. I wanted to pay you a surprise visit, but you weren't home. So, I figured you'd be here. This is the only place

JULIE"And you left Bryan lurking around like a lost kid?" He frowned."Lurking?""Yes. I was in my office doing some stuff and noticed a tiny figure walking around offices. Got up to have a better view and voila! It was Bryan""Are you serious right now?""No jokes. I had to get up and go pick him. I brought him here thinking you were the one that told him to go hang around. Only to get here and you were nowhere to be found". He explained."Bryan Paxton! Did I tell you not to move an inch from this office?" I fumed."Mummy, I was bored" He tried to defend himself."You were bored? I leave you for barely 10 minutes and you go running around the whole place? Even after I told you not to leave here?""Mummy, I'm sorry" He said with almost teary eyes."Sorry? Bryan, what if you fell into the wrong hands? What if it wasn't Max that saw you?" "Juls, take it easy on the boy. He's just a kid. I'm sure he didn't know what he was doing. Just take it easy, please. The good thing is that he's s

JULIE“He is here with us? I can tell him to go play outside if that’s what you want. Bryan!” He cut in.“No, that’s not necessary, Adam. I don’t want him to be out there. He might get lost or get himself hurt. I’m sure you’re not ready to get any news that would make me not active at work”I tried to use what he feared most against him. Adam had said countless times that he never wanted anything that would make any member of his staff slack. He hated anything that would make work inactive and knowing that anything that involved Bryan would definitely make me ineffective, I had to play that card against him.“I see what you’re trying to do, but you should know I’m smarter than that, Julie” He called my bluff.He was smarter than I thought. I looked around, but there was no other excuse I could give. The only thing left was to fake a heart attack, but I hadn’t perfected their skill yet. I just had to tell the lies as they came to me. If he eventually found loopholes, I’d gaslight him T
