All Chapters of My CEO Is My Cure: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Athena wore a silk nightgown. Her long, slender legs were casually crossed as they rested on the carpet.The moment Ethan opened his eyes and took in the startling sight before him, he froze in disbelief. 'What the hell?'He shot upright in bed, only to realize the situation was even worse than he'd thought. His upper body was completely bare. He was wearing nothing but a pair of briefs."Did we... last night?" he asked nervously.Athena remained seated on the window seat, her gaze fixed steadily on him. "What about last night?"Ethan had no idea how to ask the question. Frustrated, he covered his face with one hand and rubbed it repeatedly, pressing so hard that his brows drew together, yet he couldn't make himself stop.Athena's heart had already gone completely cold. She had deliberately worn this outfit and appeared in his room just to test his reaction.As expected, Ethan disappointed her completely. They were husband and wife. Even if they had slept together, it would have

Everyone else in the conference room seemed to sense that something was wrong. The atmosphere had grown so tense that no one even dared to breathe too loudly, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.Only Athena remained completely absorbed in the strange sensations coursing through her body, unable to focus on anything else.'This is bad! I really want him. What am I supposed to do? There's no way I can just pounce on Julian and devour him right here... right?''God! What am I even thinking? Why do I keep wanting my own boss over and over again? Do I even want to keep my job?'Acting on instinct, Athena undid the top button of her suit jacket. She desperately needed some air, hoping it would help clear her head.She hadn't expected to pull so hard in her panic that she tore open several more buttons. The lace of her bra peeked through the gap, but she was so overwhelmed by her condition that she didn't notice.Julian had seen enough.His handsome face darkened. 'What exactly

Terrified that she might become the target of his anger, Athena lowered her head and hurried out of the room.She rushed from the conference room straight to the restroom. Turning on the faucet, she splashed cold water over her face several times.Only then did the heat coursing through her body ease slightly. Even so, Julian's face kept flashing through her mind.Had he really been about to kiss her just seconds ago? How was that even possible? He was the CEO.Yet when Julian had pinned her against the conference table, she had clearly felt the intensity of his desire. If no one had interrupted them, they might have already kissed. They might have even gone further.Athena's thoughts were in complete disarray. Her breathing quickened again. Afraid her addiction would spiral out of control, she hurried back to her office and took her medication.Julian watched her retreating figure, his expression dark and unreadable.The faint scent of her perfume still lingered around him. Tha

That gold bracelet had belonged to Charlotte's grandmother. It was the only keepsake Charlotte had inherited from her own family. She could hardly bear to wear it herself, yet now she wanted to give it to Olivia."Mom, that gold bracelet is the only thing Grandma left you. You should keep it. Olivia doesn't need another gold bracelet," Athena said gently.Charlotte's expression immediately darkened. "What are you talking about? Just because Olivia doesn't need one, does that mean we shouldn't give her anything? A wedding is the biggest event in a woman's life. If she doesn't have a respectable dowry, her husband's family will look down on her. Besides, your sister is marrying into a prestigious family like the Quinns."Athena felt her chest tighten.Forcing an awkward smile, she muttered softly, "But when I got married, I didn't have a respectable dowry either."In fact, she hadn't received a single decent wedding gift. Neither her father nor Sharon had given her anything. Even Ch

Athena quickly pulled a small umbrella from her handbag. Holding it over them, she walked to Julian's side."How is it?" she asked."The car broke down."Athena couldn't hide her surprise. "A luxury car like this can break down?""I was driving too fast, and the rain was coming down hard. I didn't see a pothole, and the front wheel dropped into it." Julian gave a brief explanation. "Go wait in the car."Athena handed him the umbrella. "Then you take the umbrella."Julian glanced at the tiny umbrella, which could barely cover one person, and frowned. "I'm a grown man. A little rain won't hurt me. Get back in the car."Athena froze for a moment.For the first time in her life, she felt someone genuinely cared about her. Ever since she was little, her parents and relatives, even her husband in name, had ignored her feelings and treated her as though she barely existed. Yet Julian stood in the pouring rain and chose to act like a gentleman. Instead of taking her umbrella, he insist
