Chasing The Broken CEO #14
Samantha seemed very excited, and I could almost feel my chest tightening because of the sudden fear that eats me up. She asked the housemaid to prepare some snacks, and then as we walked through the pathway that will lead us to the swimming pool area, she kept telling me a lot of things about her brother— things that I am not aware of. She also mentioned that her parents keep asking Evan to announce our engagement very soon. “My brother informed us that he would talk to you about it first. I hope he already did that. Knowing my brother, he is so slow when it comes to this kind of thing,” Samantha added when we arrived in their swimming pool area. I only shook my head. Evan hasn’t told me about this thing yet. Whenever we meet, we only end up fighting because of his attitude issue. Samantha frowned as she shook her head in disbelief. She glanced at the wide swimming pool. I did the same and we both saw the familiar figure of someone having a good di

I didn’t know how I was able to look at him in his pierced and brooding eyes for a long time. God knows how I wanted to look away but my eyes were unwilling to do so. All I knew was my heart is beating aggressively like it would come out of my chest and abandon me because of the extreme fear it felt with Evan’s dark gaze. He was too close and the atmosphere is getting so intense. My body cannot seem to function well while he was holding me firmly. My knees were getting weak too; one move and I would probably fall on the floor because I am damn scared right now. “I am here because my parents wanted me to apologize to you formally,” I managed to speak firmly despite the fear in my chest. I gathered all my strength and pushed him so that I can get away from him. Good thing it worked! He stepped back and that have me a little sigh of relief. My face heated in shame. How could he touch me like that? My entire body shivered as I still feel

I roamed around in his room and in all fairness, Evan is a neat type of guy. His room is too manly and clean. It smells like his familiar perfume, not to add that the ambiance has a cozy vibe and gives me a breath of fresh air. The walls were painted white, with frames and expensive paintings hanging in there. I also noticed that the pieces of furniture were all made of woodwork and antiques which gave comfort to my eyes. He has his own lounge area here and there is also a huge bookshelf filled with so many books about business and finance. On the right side of the lounge area, there is a work table with piled-up documents which I think he brought home for his review. In addition, there is a Macbook which is set up on it at the center of the table. I looked at the documents again. Does he really need to bring his work home? Does he still rest? He is such a business-minded and workaholic person. I walked through the path where Evan went earlier when he said h

The thought of understanding Evan’s behavior engulfed my mind. I am trying to think of ways to get to know him and to understand where he is coming from, just like what Samantha told me a while ago. The side of my lips curled up for a bitter smile. Am I really that curious about him? As far as I remember, I should be mad at him because he treats me unfairly. I was sitting on the couch, getting so immersed in all the thoughts spinning around my head as an unwanted feeling started to sink deep within me. A few minutes later, Evan went back together with the housemaid who brought the food for us. The food was served on the available table on the balcony. I just watched them with my lips pouting evidently. Do I really have to eat here with him? I want to go downstairs and talk to Samantha. I don’t want to be stuck here in this room with this cranky guy. My gaze followed the housemaid when she went out of the room after serving our food. My lips protruded. “Let’s eat,” Evan inv

It was later in the afternoon when I decided to leave Zendejas’ residence. I wanted to go home as I do not want to be a burden to Evan. He might have some important plans and being here would prevent him from doing what he needs to do. He walked with me as I went outside their mansion. I saw our car just a few steps away from me with Riley inside who is patiently waiting for me. I turned to Evan and gave him a small smile. “I have to go,” I stated and inhaled heavily. He put his hands inside his shorts pockets and nodded at me. “Thank you for visiting.” He said with his pursed lips. “Well, I needed to.” “I know but still, I want to thank you.” He smiled playfully at me. I rolled my eyes, “Stop it. It’s not really you.” I said and then pouted my lips. “Alright, I will zip my mouth.” He replied, amused. I turned around and walked towards our car. He even followed me and watched me as I hopped into the car. Riley closed the door for me. Evan leaned into the open windo

We took our one-hour lunch after Jameson’s first attempt to make Liese speak about what really happened. I sighed deeply, still feeling uncomfortable and affected. I stared at the food I ordered. It seemed that I lost my appetite as I still think about the tragedy Liese has encountered. I normally eat my lunch alone at the cafe near our regional court. I leaned back on my chair and inhaled sharply. Even though I am just a normal legal stenographer who simply works my ass out as I crawl on the ladder of success that will lead me to have a better career, I still could not control my emotion whenever I get to witness a court hearing just like what I have been to a while ago. It gets into me immediately, making me feel so affected and emotional. I am neither a lawyer nor a judge but it gives me this kind of heavy feeling that I myself would like to resolve their issues at all costs. I am soft-hearted, really. “Coffee?” a familiar voice spoke from the side of my table. I glanced up

“Your father told me that you are not allowed to drive a car after the trouble you were in. You should have informed your driver to fetch you right away.” He stated in his calm voice. “That is not necessary. I wanted to take a short walk to clear my head a bit. I’m not in the mood to go home early...” He nodded and then started the engine of his car. “Still, it’s dangerous to walk out there all by yourself, Risha Nathalie.” I leaned to the window and gazed at the left alley where I have been for almost an hour. “Can’t you see? There are a lot of people hanging out in there. It’s safe and the place is fun,” I replied as I pointed my finger to the place so he would know what I am talking about. I glanced his way. He only gazed at the left alley for like a second and then he stared at me for a moment before looking back at the road. “As I remember, there were also a lot of people when you hit somebody’s car a few days ago.” he fired at me. I rolled my eyes outrageously. So,

Evan’s gaze remained on me. I heaved a huge sigh and shook my head. I smiled bitterly at him. I could just agree and not at him but my pride is way more relevant than the obligation my parents have given me. “Don’t you think it is too early for me to say yes?” I said, trying to hide how nervous I am about this topic. I swallowed the lump in my throat and stared into his eyes intently. “Do you think I am that easy to get, Evan? The chase hasn’t even started yet so I don’t think it would be appropriate for you to boss me around and tell me to make time for that engagement party.” “So, does that mean you want me to beg?” he scoffed at me. The side of my lip rose. I bit my lower lip and tried to suppress my mischievous smirk. “Slight...” I simply replied. He shook his head and I saw his boyish grin on his lips, feels like he couldn’t believe that he’s hearing all these from me right now. Like does he expect me to obey him only because he has shown me a strange kindness today? Th
