Semua Bab My Ruthless CEO: Bab 51 - Bab 60

It was good to be back home, mother already had food waiting for us, I couldn’t wait to have a meal and get my rest.I quickly had a bath and a change of clothes before heading downstairs.“So..Jenna and Roseline told me you guys had a picnic and it was too late to get home” mother said as she had her spoon full with food.I turned to look at both of them giving me an awkward smile.“Yeah” I lied, a stern expression on my face.“That’s great..I was so worried that something might have happened” she paused, swallowing her food.“Something like what mother? I’m a grown man” I asked, digging into my food as well.“Well I don’t know, that Abigail girl is still roaming around instead of being behind bars for what she did to you” she said.The dinning table grew silent. I paused my meal, turned to her.“Is there something you want to talk about, mother?” I asked.“No, nothing, you all said you were having a good time, so I won’t question it, I just don’t trust that Abigail, what if she come

I walked from the office corridor back to my car, I suddenly felt like I was watched, the sneering, the darkness in the far distance of my car, I sat behind the driver.“Everything okay ma’am?” He asked, hands placed on the steering with a firm grip.“Yeah, get me home” I answered, buckling my seatbelt.After the incident that happened at the office, I felt as though I was being watched, my full proof plan had started looking like they had loopholes, one I needed to cover and it all started from the visit to Damien, I just knew that was a wrong move.Lost in thought, I peered at the window, trying to forget the incident that happened at work, I wanted nothing but to forget that I had suspected Vicky when in an infact, an informant was planted in my company by the rival company.****“You are suspended Vicky” I said to her as she sobbed in silence.“But..Miss Conner” she said in a faint tone, pleading.“It’s just for a short while..until we get to the bottom of this, we need you to sta

Abigail’s POVI smiled at Charlie as she gripped me tighter, her hands holding me firmly, Cyrus, patiently watching us both as mother sat beside me.“Where’s dad?” I asked as I was released from her strong embrace.“He had business in Seychelles..but he was quite worried, we all were” mother answered, tucking my hair behind my ear as she caressed the side of my face.I felt my eyes become watery, a tear trickling down my cheek.“Thank you” I said, my eyes letting the tears flow.“What’s this about? Are you okay?” Cyrus asked.“I’m so grateful for you all..I don’t know what I’d do without you” I said in between sobs. This reminded me of the time I had to be hospitalized because I was overworked and overwhelmed and collapsed in Damien’s house, yet the only thing I got was to get called a weakling and husband snatcher, when he was my husband.But this time was different, I had my family with me and they all wanted me to be better, to recover as best as I could, not so quickly so I could

“What do you like in Damien anyway?” Cyrus asked as we got our daily dose of caffeine by the cafè .“He’s so manly and hot” I answered casually, having a sip of my latte.Cyrus and Damien were close friends, the type I couldn’t understand why they were close, Damien was a man who was too invested in his father’s company and interned there to show his dedication.On the other hand, Cyrus was a tech genius, uninterested in his father’s company, they both were quite polar opposites, Damien had tons of luck when it came to women and Cyrus..he struggled to even voice his thoughts to women.“Who doesn’t like him?...well, other than the fact that he’s dating Jenna, the proud witch, he’s a good looking guy and he’s quite charming” I added.“Why don’t you want anyone knowing your true identity?” He asked “Even in Uni, you never let your name be voiced out” he added.“I wouldn’t make real friends if everyone knows I’m the heiress right the Conner Empire” I answered.“Why do you think so? I and

“What are you thinking? Going to see him like that” Cyrus asked.“I was just being polite” I answered “Why are you so against me? You’ve been acting so strange” I added, folding my arms as we talked in the balcony of the hospital.“Being polite?” He asked “You brought him snacks so early in the morning, it’s got tthe be more than that” he stated. He was right, I wasn’t just being polite, I wanted to care for him, to show him that I could watch him, I couldn’t rest all night knowing he was in the hospital, I had to come see him very early.“Cyrus, we’ve talked about this..I like Damien, it makes me care about him but really I was just too worried last night, I had to come over today” I answered in a subtle tone.“Then you said you were his girlfriend?” He asked. I paused, how would he know about that, he had only gotten here a few minutes ago, there’s no way he’d known that, not even from Roseline’s mouth.“The doctor said, his girlfriend came to care for him this morning and that’s go
