Forgive Me, Mr. CEO의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Melanie's POV Damian Sinclair wasn't only popular; he was the heir to the entire Sinclair Enterprises, a company that had been owned by his family for generations. He was also one of the hottest billionaires in New York, which made him the kind of man people were always talking about, whether they knew him personally or not. He had left home after college determined to build something of his own and had returned years later as a successful businessman without using his father's money. That alone had made headlines because not everyone could walk away from the financial advantage of having one of the richest men in New York as a father and still manage to build an empire of their own. “He had never dated anyone, and as a result, no one has ever seen him laugh or smile except Victoria Hale and his best friend, Ethan, who he had gone to high school and college with…” I stopped reading when something at the back of my mind told me that I wasn't alone anymore, and when I slowly turned

Melanie's POV Jerk! Damian was a jerk. A melon-headed jerk. Tell me why this jerk of a boss of mine thought he hadn't stressed me enough for an entire weekday and had decided that he needed to stress me and not let me enjoy my weekend too. It was Saturday, for God's sake! A normal person was supposed to be sleeping in, watching movies, going out with friends, or doing absolutely nothing productive until Monday morning. But apparently, normal rules didn't apply to Damian Sinclair because that man seemed to have made it his personal mission to remind me that I worked for him every chance he got. “You need to calm down, Mel.” Cassandra said, giving me a look as she leaned against the bar counter. She looked far too relaxed for someone listening to me complain about the biggest headache in my life. “This is fucking crazy.” I slammed my hand against the counter, earning a few glances from people nearby before I lowered my voice slightly. “For the whole Monday to Friday, it

Melanie's POV “Are you crazy?” Cassie let out so loudly that I immediately had to pull the phone away from my ear, wincing at the volume before putting it back. “You should have stood up immediately you fell on him. Do you want to get fired?” “Cassie, don't make this worse,” I said, already feeling like I wanted to cry. Just remembering what happened made everything ten times more embarrassing, and it was Monday, yet somehow I still couldn't get Saturday out of my mind. I had spent the entire weekend trying to forget the fact that I had somehow managed to fall directly on my boss, practically ending up on top of him, with his fiancée standing right there watching us. The more I thought about it, the worse it became, because I still couldn't understand why I had closed my eyes when I did. It wasn't as if I had actually planned to kiss him, but for that one stupid second, my body had apparently forgotten that Damian Sinclair was my boss and that he was engaged. “I'm honestly no

Melanie's POV I blinked my eyes open slowly as I tried to take in my surroundings, my vision blurry at first before everything gradually started becoming clearer, and the first thing I noticed was a figure standing a few feet away from me with his back turned, his left hand pressed against his ear as he spoke on his phone. Damian? My eyes widened as recognition hit me, and I shot up instantly, sitting straight on the bed before the pain from the sudden movement made me wince slightly. Why was I on a bed? Why was Damian standing there? And why the hell was I wearing an IV attached to my wrist? That was the exact moment everything came rushing back to me. The elevator. I had been in the elevator with Damian and then... What the hell? Had I actually collapsed in front of my boss? My heart sank as embarrassment immediately took over me, and for a ridiculous second, I actually considered lying back down and pretending I was still unconscious. Maybe if I closed my eyes quic

Melanie’s POV“There's a team dinner this evening. Will you be there?” Sophy asked as she entered the coffee room, leaning against the doorway while looking at me. “More like a company dinner,” Bianca corrected from behind her as she stepped into the room and walked toward the coffee machine. I took a sip from my coffee before making a face. “I love anything fun, and it's been so long since I've had a proper drink. Maybe I'll just gulp some…” I lifted the mug toward my mouth and pretended to take a dramatic shot, making a ridiculous clicking sound with my tongue afterward. “Click!” Sophy burst out laughing and shook her head. “It's always fun, though,” she said, reaching for her own cup. “You should come. You need to relax after everything you've been dealing with.” “But does the CEO usually come?” I asked immediately, placing my mug down. “That's why it's on a weekday,” Bianca replied casually as she pressed the button on the coffee machine. “He usually has other things to
