บททั้งหมดของ Secret Ties with the Cold CEO: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

"Weldone Shira, you managed to drench yet another customer." Shira stared at Damien at loss for words. At this point she was exasperated."I told you, someone bumped into me" She said cupping her face in her hands and resting her elbows on the bar counter. "People are always bumping into you," He said, shaking his head. He playfully slaps Shira's arms off the counter and wipes it down with a damp napkin.It was nearly 6:00 am and the club was relatively empty except for a handful of people. "Just be careful, I don't want a repeat of last night. You could have gotten hurt. But thank God Mr hot ass billionaire was there. But hold up, darling, there's something you're not telling me." He fakes a thinking face. "When did you start hanging out with hot CEOs?""Very funny, I don't know him." She brushed it off but her stomach began to tingle again. All through the night she didn't even think much about the Russian but was fascinated with the hottie. She fantasized about him all through t

Shira had facepalmed a hundred times that night. What was she thinking? She still felt so embarrassed about the bathroom incident. He seemed cool about it though and it wasn't like she stumbled upon him taking a dump or something but she still felt so awkward.And She had nearly fallen onto her face in front of him. So embarrassing! He had caught her though. Shira was still feeling a tingling sensation where he had held on to her to prevent her from falling. But after that he didn't so much as give her a second glance and ordered her around all evening. He was so confusing.What made matters worse was that she would be serving him all through the night and it was not going well at all. Shira and another waitress were setting up a table for what seemed like a dinner date. The CEO observed them with scrutiny. He had a very cold aura around him and seemed to have a problem with everything they did. He was presently sipping from his glass of white wine as he watched them set the table. H

“Uncle Cole! Uncle Cole!”Cole quickly kept his phone in his pocket and opened his arms wide, bending to catch the two little girls that were running towards him at full speed.“Anna! Ava! Guys, how many times will I tell you to quit running within the house…” Rose Stuart was saying but the girls were focused on their uncle.Cole caught them and enveloped them in his arms. “Hey there, lovelies. How are you doing?” He asked, still crouched to accommodate the height difference.“Uncle Cole, I missed you so much.” Anna said.“Yes, Uncle Cole, we missed you,” said Ava.It was easier to differentiate them because they were wearing the exact same princess dresses but in different colors. Ava’s was pink while her sister's was a light blue. This was what helped Cole otherwise he wouldn’t know who was whom. “I missed you too guys” Cole said, staring at them adorably.“We wanted to come visit but Mummy said…” Anna was interrupted by Rose’s sudden cough.“Come now girls, let's go sit down, it’s

“If I die, will you and Mum promise not to grieve for too long?”What?!Shira felt some ringing in her ears as if she had been slapped. She couldn't have heard him well.“Chuck, what are you saying? You're not gonna die.” She said immediately she found her voice but noticed that he had already drifted into a peaceful sleep, his chest rising and falling gently in tune with his breathing.“Oh, Chuck, You're not going to die, you can't die,” Shira said in a quiet voice, stroking his temple gently, a complete contrast to the heartache and turmoil she was feeling inside. Then she thought sadly that that was probably what occupied the mind of the little boy now and then. Chuck had always been mature for his age. He had taken the news of their father’s death far better than most twelve year-olds would and had always been supportive, and now he had to bear this weight as well.She felt broken, crushed. Tears welled up in her eyes and she let them fall down her face. Before she knew it, her bo

Cole had a lot of work on his desk but he couldn't stop himself from mulling over what had happened the previous night while flipping through Miss Clumsy's background check report.How dare she? Did she not know who he was? What was wrong with her? On the other hand, he wondered why he cared so much. It was one ordinary girl after all. But that was exactly the point. An ordinary girl rejected him. No, he just had to do something about this. But what?Try convincing her? That would be too shallow of him. Let it go? But he couldn't have it on his record that he was rejected by someone. Something had to be done.A shrill ring from the telephone cut into his stream of thoughts and he glared at the device before picking it up wondering who it was."Hello," He drawled an evidence that he was so having a bad day."Cole! Cole! You have to come quick! It's Grandpa!" Cole could barely make out the rest of what his cousin was saying as she was rambling on without break in a very frantic voice
