บททั้งหมดของ The CEO's Forever Pet: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

His glare eases now that he's seen me and I'm glad I made the right decision to step down before he knocks on my window but is it just me or is he finding it hard to keep those warm blue eyes away from my face. Does he perhaps recognize me? I changed out of my morning clothes when I got back home, took a bath, before searching Oliver's office. I look so much better than this morning. He twists his upper body, breaking our gaze and he mumbles something so inaudibly. Sorry, I didn't catch that. Did he just curse at me? Deep breaths, Rebecca. Just blame it all on Oliver. "So how are we doing this?" his blue eyes are back on my face again and they look different this time. The scowl has left his face and he no longer looks pissed off. Did I mention that he sounds gentle and soft? His voice is smooth like that stubble on his face. "I-I-I uh…" A thick curved brow arcs in shock, "You are paying for this." Wait, did he think I was trying to get out of this by faking a stutter? Rude! Now

"I don't want to shower," I protested weakly as he led me to the bathroom but his silence was a sign that he had made up his mind. "I didn't fuck another man, Oliver," physically, I didn't but mentally? Jesus! That was why I felt so guilty like I'd been cheating when he snatched my phone and even accused me of it. I can't look him in the eye and say for a split second I didn't think of that man over me but in my defence, I saw him as Oliver. They had no facial resemblance but their bodies were similar and that had drawn my attention. Even now as Oliver stripped off his sweatshirt, leaving him naked from his chest up, my throat ran dry. He also pushed down his pants, standing before me in his black boxer shorts with the outline of his hard cock on display. I turned my face away, gulping hard as I started to peel off my clothes too. We're just showering together and nothing more. We did this all the time except those times, we were on good terms. "You can stare all you want," he te

I couldn't sleep.The bags under my eyes were proof enough and as I mopped my face with make-up, I recalled tossing and turning all night before finally sitting to hug my knees all night in a very sober mood.The room felt too large like it was just missing him.I took a shower and got dressed for work in a light silky blouse tucked in a high waisted plaid skirt with black heels, throwing on a matching pair of watch I share with Oliver and a gold necklace he got me on my birthday last year.I checked myself out in the mirror again-- yeah, I looked good.Hate the man not his gifts, I mean!I hurried downstairs just in time to see Tania waving at me, "Hurry up, we're going to run late."I sent her a smile as I rushed into the car, slamming the door shut and feeling thankful that I gave her a chance. I guess I've made a friend.***"You moved?" Chloe expressed her shock at the news and I looked around, telling her to bring her voice down. "I'm shocked he let you out of the house with how

"I can't believe she left without a word," Chloe took a swing from her beer with narrowed eyes. We were seated on my couch with drinks on the table, a box of large Pizza and open boxes of chicken wings."Did she leave a note? Anything?" Tania asked but I shook my head, refusing to share Molly's last words with anyone other than myself.It was mine to treasure whether or not she cared less about me unlike Oliver who claimed to believe she had to leave for my own good.What's a bad name I cannot possibly endure for her?I'm living alone now and I'm on my way to getting rid of that bastard. I wish she were by my side.Speaking of him, it slipped my mind to ask him about the promotion. I didn't trust a word from Edward. He cut down my allowance but found a way to put it back somehow.I don't need his help from here on out."Oh well, I guess you two were never going to be the same as before," Tania shrugged with her mouth full, unaware of how much her words just pricked my heart.At least

I yawned as I slowed down at the red light. I was done with work and today had been the most stressful since I had to handle one day at being in a new position which I dropped half way. I couldn't hold it out on Mr. Edwards, he was only doing his job but goddamn! If I could just find one person who wasn't kissing these people's ass for money- I knew I was too but not anymore. I wasn't done typing my resignation letter yet but I assured him that once I was, he'd be the first to get it. I felt a little hurt and bruised especially when he looked at me with that guilt and shame in his eyes. I had trusted him to be among the few to tell me the truth yet he just-- A motorcycle thundered by my side and I jerked, snapping my head to the left. A black motorcycle came to a stop by my side, waiting for the green light to pop up. I admired the black leather seats, the leather pants and jacket- damn! I used to love those when I was in college. A total spec, I'd always call them. I've always wa
