Freshening up takes longer then it normally takes with me in the shower, finishing up what I started and then getting prepared for the party that’s starting to get crowded at the back, in the middle of the yard.Mum had hugged me earlier and patted my back after telling my hair color looked so good, and that was even more warming than anything could be to me ever since Grandma’s words…By the time I’m done dressing up, finishing my makeup and getting dressed, the party is already in full swing.The only thing I wish for right now is my brother. If he were here, grandma would not have been able to say shit to me, and neither will I feel so hollowed out but due to the nature of his personal career, he can’t take up the role of a company’s CEO.“Raees…” I mutter to myself, a small smile on my face, “You can do this. You want to run a global corporation, you have to be crazy, selfish and sometimes even cruel to those who absolutely need it. You’ll do just fine darling.” I pat my own shoul

Reid walks over to my side and takes my hands in his bigger ones, holding it up above my head. “She is not single anymore so no one should come close to what is mine.”Dad chuckles, squeezing Mum’s hands all over again.I roll my eyes though at the almost cringey public display of ‘affection’.“I had no idea you had another makeover within the hour I was gone… Who would have known you’d look so hot in red hair and bangs.” Reid whispers into my ears, his warm breath fanning the back of my ears.I resist the urge to touch my cheeks that I can feel have turned bright red.“Uhm… Dad, I think we can take this,” I use my hands to signify just family, “Inside.”He nods. “Sure beta, I’ll get your Uncle Max to make sure the guests are well taken care of. Let’s go.”Within the next two minutes of walking across the yard, I receive over ten handshakes, about three hugs, all telling me congratulations on my new post, but the cheery cute lady from before is nowhere in sight.I would have loved to

The next morning rolls around and excitement wakes me up faster than my alarm does.This same time, the day before, I was still snoring away in bed, unaware of the changes and challenges that awaited me in the day, such as a sudden inauguration as CEO of the company, never in a million years would I have expected the bomb blast, and then there was Reid.And then there was that caller from last night.I shake my head vigorously in the shower as I wash my hair, getting rid of any distracting thoughts… such as my new boyfriend.With a new job comes a new life.In the next thirty minutes, I am done dressing up, and put subtle finishing touches to my makeup. I give myself a look over in the mirror, satisfied with how I look.The perfectly dressed boss.She grabs her bag, phone and car key and leaves the room, only to meet her parents waiting for her in the living room, Raees, the movie, playing in the background, halfway gone already.“Good morning,” I greet them cheerily, a big smile on m

The rest of the hour is simply a blur, and I am so out of it that I begin to make errors in my writing. After twenty minutes of fruitless work, I give up and drop the pen.I call Ava and tell her to get my driver ready, I’m leaving.Soon enough, I take the private elevator to the last floor, choosing to walk alone this time. I absentmindedly respond to greetings from staff members and as soon as I get outside, the car is already waiting at the curb.Ben opens the door for me and just at that moment, a shiny black sedan parks right behind me. The door opens and out comes Reid, holding a bouquet of roses.He sees me and bursts into a wide smile, I hold back the urge to scoff at the face display of affection.He closes the car door and walks over to me, “I got this for you.”Some people around the entrance of the company are starting to whisper into their palms, and obviously, I’ll be the object of gossip for the next few minutes, and they say first impressions last longer, I don’t want

*DANIEL*The sound of footsteps in the room is starting to get horribly on my nerves.“For goodness’s sake, will you sit down?”She glances at me with a devious side look, “I can’t sit down while she’s prospering so well, she’s now a CEO?” She scoffs, her frown deepening as she resumes pacing.“Do you think I am not bothered about that either? She must have made me miss that trillion dollar deal deliberately so she can… Wait a second.” I pause, a smile creeping on to my face. “Guess what I did today?”Cecelia pauses and looks over at me, “What?” her voice snappish and laced with a heavy tinge of impatience.“I paid her a visit at her workplace, and she was as rude as ever, not choosing to stay in a lane.”“So what?”“I told her that Reid had only started getting interested in her because, apparently, she was a clause in the contract.”Cecelia does not smile, neither does she show any disappointment either, just plain old her. “What’s that supposed to do? It does not remove her from th
