All Chapters of The CEO's Lethal Obsession (ENGLISH VERSION): Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

It’s quiet throughout the office. The once noisy clicking of keyboards and rustling of paper has been replaced by the sound of the wall clock on the side of the wall. It’s 5:47 p.m. I’m the only one left in the department. Everyone has gone home after dumping all their tasks on me.I’m hunched over in front of the computer. I’m finishing the final report that was handed to me. There’s no other light except for my desk lamp, and even though my eyes are already extremely tired, I force myself to finish the work.I need to pretend to be hardworking. I need to win their favor. It’s only my first day, and I can’t show my true colors yet.“Working hard, I see.”I flinched. I quickly lifted my head, and there I saw him. Wade, leaning against the door frame, wearing a dark gray suit and holding a cell phone in his hand.“W-Wade?”“Who else would it be?” he smiled and walked closer.“I’m here to pick you up.”“Pick me up?” I was surprised. “I thought you were still busy with your meeting.”“I

Wayne’s POVThe entire office was quiet when I entered Wade’s private room. He was sitting in the swivel chair, leaning back while looking at the computer monitor. A few moments passed before he spoke, not even glancing at me.“Wayne,” mahinahon niyang sabi. “I want you to assist Lily with her workload starting tomorrow. She’s new and I don’t want her to feel that she's out of place.”I remained standing in front of his desk. “Master, if that is what you want, I will obey. But… are you sure that’s right?”He looked straight at me. His eyes were cold, sending a shiver through my entire body.“What do you mean, Wayne?”I took a deep breath before speaking. “I’ve been observing her. She’s too careful. It’s like every move she makes is calculated. It’s weird that she approached you and then stepped back when she was almost caught. It would be better if we take action now while she hasn’t caused any harm yet.”He didn’t speak for a long time. Those were the moments when I knew I should hav

LILY'S POVAround three in the afternoon, I was in the pantry, drinking coffee. It was my second day at the office. There were a few people who treated me nicely—those who smiled when we crossed paths in the hallway or offered help when I didn’t know something. But there were also some who were openly hostile. The kind who didn’t even bother hiding their dirty looks, or those who stayed quiet but were clearly talking about me whenever I passed by. Well, whether they like me or not, I don’t care. I’m not here to please anyone. I’m here for a mission.I quietly sat at a table in the corner, watching the people around me while stirring my coffee. I could feel the subtle glances, the whispers drifting like air between each sip I took.“There really wasn’t any hiring, right?” a woman from the other table said softly.“Yeah, she just suddenly showed up here yesterday. Nina even said she might be connected to Mr. Wade,” another one replied, followed by a quiet laugh.I frowned but chose not

Wade’s POVThe office is quiet. Only the ticking of the clock can be heard while I flip through some papers on the table. Only a few minutes have passed since Lily left, carrying the envelope I asked to be delivered to Mr. Rodriguez.Wayne knocks and I immediately signal for him to come in.“Master Wade,” he greets calmly. “You called for me?”“Yeah, have a seat,” I say while still looking at the document I’m holding.He sits across from me, and it’s clear from his face that he wants to say something but is holding back.“Did you assign Miss Russell to do something today?” he asks after a few seconds of silence.“I did,” I reply, then set down the folder I’m holding. “I told her to deliver some files for me.”There’s a slight furrow on Wayne’s forehead. “Master… are those files for the Celestial Project?”I look up at him. “Why do you ask?”“Because those files are confidential,” he answers directly. “And honestly, I’m not comfortable with her handling them. We don’t fully know her ye

LILY'S POVI didn’t open the envelope. Even after holding it several times, even after staring at the label that said “Celestial Project – Confidential,” I still chose not to open it.Even though I knew it was just a simple fold of tape, just a pull of a finger, and I would see what was inside. Something stopped me. I don’t know if it was fear, respect, or simple instinct. All I know is that if I opened it, I might completely burn myself out.Now it’s nine o’clock at night. I’m alone in the office, with only the desk lamp providing light. It’s quiet. The only sounds are the faint hum of the air conditioner and the ticking of the clock.I’m trying to finish the reports, but my mind won’t settle. My thoughts keep going back to that envelope over and over again.What could be inside it? And why did Mr. Chilton look at me strangely earlier when he handed it to me? Does he know I’m planning something?I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, but I only got more annoyed at myself.“You really
