All Chapters of Snapshot of a CEO's heart: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

It wasn't a rare occurrence to have a free day at the office but when I did I took it to my full advantage. As I pushed open the heavy door, the anticipation of what I could accomplish with this freedom buzzed in my mind. I decided to spend the day capturing the essence of office life through my lens and I might even be able to persuade Cat to let me promote her café and do it at my own pace. But for the morning my trusted mardy boss, Garry, had agreed to be my model for the day, allowing me a glimpse into the inner workings of his daily routine. Messy and very unorganised is what I would describe it as."Morning," I say as I round to my office and place my bag over my chair. My morning had gone quite weird and I also felt kind of...happy about it, when Max and I went back to sleep this morning I could feel him behind me, I wanted to give him something but he was more bothered about taking care of me instead of himself and I respected that so much, I wish I didn't have work and maybe

I sat at my desk and watched as Maisie didn't even watch whatever was on she just stared above the screen. I didn't want to see her like this and I didn't even mean to call her baby It just slipped out, I wanted to address the situation delicately so she would know that I'm here for her. I don't know everything that happened at college but I know the major stuff and the things that have turned her world upside down and stopped her forming friendships and relationships with males. I spin my chair around and leave my desk to head to her, her face not even looking at me she's just staring off into space, I crouch down on the floor in front of her, my knees cracking at the unexpected kneeling exercise.I lift her chin with my hand and grip her gently so she can look directly at me instead of around me, her eyes are glossy and she's quick to try and look at away but my grip becomes stronger. I don't even tell her anything I just take the laptop and place it beside her allowing her to fall

I stepped out of the shower, feeling refreshed, even though it has been relatively warm through-out the day, the night breeze was something else as my nipples stiffened with the chill that was winter coming our way and me being a dumbass and leaving the window open to let the steam out. The warm water had washed away all my worries and stress from today and even though it has being lingering in the back of my mind, nibbling at my conscious state to figure out who it could be, I couldn't do anything until I have had some sleep hopefully. Knowing I was going to be with Max tonight had me feeling calm and content. I wrapped a fluffy towel around my body and walked into the bedroom, my hair still damp and clinging to my skin.I rummaged through my suitcase, looking for something comfortable to wear, something that will hie this bloody nip on that I have mainly. I finally settled on a pair of sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt, no bra but a hoodie over the top and black lace panties becau

It's been 3 weeks since me and Maisie had slept together, yes we have done it a few times before but she has either been working early or finishing late and has been doing a lot of her photography indoors or with someone, which helps me, because if she is working with someone then I know she's safe and granted It isn't exactly something I enjoy either...another male spending time with her but beggars can't be chooses, if I got that correct. She changed her number that day she left my office and has said that she hasn't received anything else but I don't know...she just doesn't seem like her usual self at the moment.'Dumbass...would you if someone was trying to torment you?'Don't you just love that inner voice that always corrects your bullshit and makes you look stupid? No...me either. Work has been flowing nicely this last week, busy but not too busy and sales have been getting better as well."Sir we have a problem" Sasha's voice comes through to my speaker in my office, I hate it

I read her text message...over and over again. I leave the gala in a hurry to go and make this all better with Maisie, her phone kept ringing when I looked at her message. I felt like the biggest fool going. Why couldn't I have just told her the truth about why I had to take Sarah. Now she's found out and I deserve the cold shoulder but it doesn't mean I'm going to give her the opportunity to avoid me when all I want to do is get on my knees and beg for her to understand and to forgive me. I ring her phone again and it answers after the second ring. "Maisie! Thank god, baby listen-" "It's Ivy." "What are you doing with Maisie's phone?" I ask a little worried that she now doesn't want to see me and I'm going to have to knock all of her walls down again. "I...I just got home and her phone was on the floor. The door wide open and her bedrooms light is on as well" The tension in my chest tightens so hard I fear the absolute worst already! "Where would she have gone? She's
