THE CEO'S REVENGE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

At the hospital, at three o'clock in the morning, Stefan returned to his room with a coffee in his hand. It would be a long night and he had to endure. Even if the doctor had already told him how well she might be feeling by that time, he wasn't going to leave, he couldn't even imagine the anguish she must have felt in her heart as soon as she was told that Mr. de la Barrera had gone.He couldn't even think that she must have felt like a piece of trash that had been thrown into the place where she belonged, so that he could disappear. In a single night he had done her so much harm. In one night, he had already made so many mistakes with her. The world was right when they said he was one of the worst bosses a person could meet.Sitting cross-legged with his coffee on the table on his right side, Stefan was studying a bit about the next presentation he would have the following morning on the tablet he had brought from the car.Without even wanting to think about it, the moment he had sp

It didn’t matter how much he was willing to stand up for himself, his family was never going to change when it came to money and power. Well, although he didn’t consider them his real family, they were just people who didn’t have a life, people who envied others, people who felt better when they looked down on people who were not as ‘good’ as they because his family -the people who are supposed to be there when we need them the most were the same ones who never accepted the happiness of Stefan when he said he wanted to marry Eliza, and now it was the same society who was putting him under presion to have a son with a woman he didn’t know anything about, and his grandma had never done something to make him feel secure because Stefan, the great Stefan de la Barrera also needed a little of support, someone who could rely on. He was an adult already, the most feared CEO of the city, but he was still human. And Eliza was the only woman he loved the most, and she was no longer in this world

One, two, three… four, how many more hours would go away until he decided to focus on the things he needed to do? The truth was that he couldn’t take the two nights he was with his employee out of his head. The sick face of his employee couldn’t leave his mind, that smile of hers that he had never seen had become part of his curiosity, and of course he could interpret it as a honest smile, he could see at the moment she smiled to her friend, she was happy to see her there. Why did he have the need to come back to the hospital and tell her again that nothing of what had happened should be misunderstood by her? Maybe because beyond being her whom he wanted to convince, it was to himself who should be understood the truth, in such a way he may let die all of those strange ideas that his mind was working. He still loved Eliza. He didn’t care if she was no longer in this world. Tired of that, wishing to forget about his job, he took his suit coat and left the company with just one idea i

With those airs and graces that only he could be characterized by, the most flirtatious smile with which he always greeted any woman who passed him by, Elijah de la Fuente had just arrived at the company.“Good morning, sir," greeted his secretary, going after him with a pen and agenda to start letting him know everything he had to do that day along with the things she had to do for him on this new day. “What do we have for today?”“Today we have two meetings, you have the signing of the contract with the wine producer, and later you have the visit of the CEO of the American company. And I think that's all for today.”“That's all?” he asked sarcastically. “Well, we'd better get on with it.”“Is there anything I need to do today?”Elijah just looked at her. “No, not beyond your work." He said when suddenly a thought came to his mind. “Oh wait, now that you mention it, I think there is something you can do for the day.”“Whatever you want, sir.” “I need you to look into what happene

Putting down her coffee, Maria Fernanda smiled at the entrance of the cafeteria as soon as her eyes spotted Antonio. He also smiled when he saw Maria Fernanda after all that time. “Maria Fernanda, you’re here,” he greeted her. “Please, take a seat. Sorry, I had to order my coffee before your arrival.” “Oh, no! Don’t worry, Maria Fernanda. I understand how you can be.” They laughed. “Anyways, why did you ask me to come? I mean, it’s not like it bothers me, but…” She giggled at seeing how uncomfortable he was. It had always been the problem of Antonio. Despite being a lawyer, there were moments when he didn’t make any effort to not mess up with his words and just said things like he was thinking them. “I understand, Antonio. You don’t need to explain yourself. I know you’re surprised to see me here after… after all…” “Shh! It’s okay, Maria Fernanda. You don’t need to pronounce it. To tell the truth, I was aiming for this moment even though I didn’t know how to call you after all
