Lahat ng Kabanata ng Love Me, Mr. CEO: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 18

The shift of that day finally ended.Celia Winters put the cleaning tools back into the small storage room at the end of the floor, then changed her work uniform into her simple clothes.And before leaving...Her eyes fell on the medicine box that she had carefully placed inside her bag pocket.She hesitated for seconds.Then she took it out.She kept staring at it in silence.She couldn't believe that the man who never stopped treating her coldly had given her medicine.But she quickly shook her head."Maybe... because he doesn't want me to get sick during work."She said it to herself, as if trying not to give the matter any other meaning.And the next morning...She arrived at the company a little before her shift.She knocked on the office door as usual."Come in."She entered, then began cleaning the place in silence.And while she was wiping the side table, Ryan entered carrying a set of files.He smiled at her with a faint smile."Good morning."Celia bowed respectfully."Good

Several days had passed since that night when Junior Hamilton told her that she owed him a favor.Nothing had changed...At least on the surface.He was still cold, taciturn, didn't smile, and didn't explain his orders.As for Celia...She continued her work in silence, knocking on his office door every morning, then starting to clean the entire executive floor, and staying until late at night if he continued working.The long nights had become usual.She would sit on the small chair next to the wall waiting for him to finish reviewing his files, while the office drowned in a silence broken only by the sound of papers being flipped or his fingers tapping on the keyboard.And with the passage of days...Exhaustion began to show clearly on Celia.She only slept a few hours.For after finishing her work, she would go directly to the hospital to visit her mother, then return to her apartment near dawn, to wake up after a few hours and start a new day.Her hands began to tremble from extre

The banquet was not yet over.The guests were moving between tables, exchanging business cards and trade talk, while Celia Winters remained standing quietly behind Junior Hamilton, as he had asked her to.She didn't talk to anyone.And she only raised her head when necessary.She felt that her presence in that place had been a mistake from the first moment.A corpulent man in his mid-fifties approached, wearing a luxurious suit and an expensive watch.He smiled as he shook Junior's hand."Mr. Hamilton, long time no see."Junior shook his hand coldly."Good evening."And while they were exchanging a few words about work, the man's eyes moved to Celia.He contemplated her for a long time without hiding his interest.Then he smiled and said:"And this young lady... I haven't seen her with you before."Junior answered curtly:"My assistant."The man let out a faint laugh."Good choice."Celia felt uncomfortable, but she remained silent.The conversations between the businessmen continued,

Junior Hamilton had not let go of Celia Winters' hand since he pulled her out of the private room.His steps were fast and sharp, so much that she almost stumbled more than once while trying to keep up with him.The long corridor leading out of the banquet hall seemed empty, except for the chandelier lights reflected on the marble floor.The guests were turning towards them in surprise, but no one dared to block his way.As for Celia, she did not raise her head.She was looking at the ground, and her heart was beating violently.Junior reached the outer balcony overlooking the city.He stopped suddenly.Then he released her wrist.With force, Celia was thrown back, her back hitting the iron railing.She gasped from pain, and put her hand behind her back, while she kept staring at him in silence.The night air was cold, but it was not as cold as his features.He slowly turned towards her.She had never seen that expression on his face before.It was not contempt...Nor sarcasm...But s
