MR. CEO is down for Trouble 1
~[CHAPTER ONE]~"I'm a wreck!" I took a sip of the glass held in my hands, gaze beholding the wavering figure of Tara. "How many cups have I had now?" I was forced to ask, right after seeing another outline of my friend appear before my eyes. My stomach said to stop, yet my body craved for more. At this point, I could only tell she kept up with me, and just had to stand my wailing form in the mini apartment we both shared. For the past hours, she tried putting me to a stop, yelling to keep my voice down even though I had done enough in cracking the peace of the night. "I won't let you wallow in pains, all because you were fired from a job that never respected you" The Calm voice of my friend followed. "It's their loss, Jane" She followed. "Is it really?" I coughed. "I have a year's rent outstanding, not to forget the bills the house bear" "And what do I tell mother when she asks for money to settle her bills?" "We'll have all this sorted out, Janet" "Well how?" My voice soo
MR. CEO is down for Trouble 2
~[CHAPTER TWO]~"Let me please you"Those words had his eyes staring blankly at my figure, gaze peering at my awaiting form. The silence that had broken between us was enough to mock the power of the air conditioner stood at a corner of the room. The sweat had come gathering around my palms, body agitating, yet I managed to keep my eyes lingering in the ones of the young man away. "If your Résumé never works, then your charms must!" I just could hear the voice of Tara bellowing into my head, telling me to snatch this position no matter what it took. "Please me in what way?" That calm voice emitted out of nowhere had managed to snap my attention at once."Ways you can't possibly imagine" Fuck! That wasn't as convincing as it should have been. It seemed utterly soulless, if anything. "Ways that would have you rejecting the rest of those applicants sat out there, and perhaps put an end to the day's work" I followed in a soft voice. "Miss Parker if you must know— "Mr. Holden, give

~[CHAPTER THREE]~"Woo-hoo!" I jolted at the pop that rang in the air the instant I stepped foot into my sober New-York apartment. Stood at the center of the room was the figure of a bubbly Tara, right hand holding onto a bottle of wine, the other, fetching a glass cup from a desk at the corner. "Congratulations!" She squealed those words so hard, I feared the neighbors would come banging at our door. My eyes only remained peering blankly at her, watching the dance she had put up, with her petite form skipping here to there, and soon coming to pull me in her embrace. "How did you know?" The words left my lips at once. "You texted me. Remember?" She followed, pulling up her cell, with a text from me, flashing boldly on the screen. Of course, I did. After searching for whom to vent to, telling them how I stupidly had gone on with an act that was only out for my sanity. "You're an employee at Holden Inc." Her voice was filled with much joy, eyes beaming on at my form. "That's
MR. CEO is down for Trouble 4
~[CHAPTER FOUR]~"He broke up with me, Jane"My eyes beheld the sad ones of my friend, which usually would be housing lots of happiness, but otherwise it was on a cold Friday night as this" "A relationship we had managed to build for five years, and he heartlessly cut it off" She gave a smile, yet, on her cheeks, were tears streaming down. "Five years, Jane!" "Five years of me planning what the future would hold for the both of us" "Five years of me working for what would eventually come to crash" "T-" My voice was soft, hoping it would do enough getting her to a calm, but her wails only broke into my ears, shoulders trembling, while the tears poured out her eyes. "Come on, T" "Don't let this ruin you" "Well, it already has" She chuckled emptily."I am left with nothing but memories of a person whom I so bore myself to" "I am left with cracked pieces, Jane" Her voice wavered. "Don't say that" I pulled her body to mine, hands patting her back. "You can't let this break you,

~[CHAPTER FIVE]~"Mr. Holden would like to see you" I froze at that utterance, eyes left beholding the form of Adalynn, who now made her way into the space that had been assigned to me earlier on. "Sorry?" I gaped on at her, finding it difficult to have those words settle."Mr Holden would like to see you" She called, yet again. "And if I were you.......She drew even nearer, eyes holding onto mine. "I wouldn't be a minute late" Of course, I was used to being late. That now was her impression of me. "And get this office to a better state" She called, face scrunched up. "Even rats would reject living here" The scowl followed, right before her figure walked out of the modest, yet comfortable area I had grown to adapt to. Whoever did this gruff lady think she is? Was that some sort of show of authority out here? Do forgive me for wanting to speak highly of my previous organization, but in as much as I was irked by each one of them, I was no twerp to them. And yes, Adalynn might be
MR. CEO is down for Trouble 6
~[CHAPTER SIX]~ I waddled into the large room acting as a conference hall, eyes taking in the number of figures scattered around the area. There they all were, forms surrounding the black, oval table centered in the space, and with voices pouring out, breaking the calm of the room, each one went engaging in a discussion with another. I had been here for at least enough time to get acquainted, yet a stranger, I felt. Perhaps, I was. No one bothered sparing my incoming form a glance. For all they cared, I was the company's new marketer. "Oh, come on people. It's just a minor issue" A voice called from beside the chair I had sank into, with the profile of a middle-aged lady coming into view. "Perhaps it is to address the new arrivals" Her gaze spun to me at once, a smile lighting up her red-stained lips. "Can you believe there's a new employee?" She pushed even closer, eyes intent in mine. "Some wretch, I'm informed of" Believe me, I heard those words just fine. "Lord knows our

~[CHAPTER SEVEN]~I lost every containment in me, as I came barging into this area, figure intruding on such quietude which made up the space. There he sat, the only figure I yearned to see ever since the meeting at the conference hall.Right away, was that form on the rewinding chair, back turned to the entrance, he had soon spun around at my entry, profile beholding mine. At the hold of that gaze, my chest burned, scrutiny fixed onwards, while those eyes came scanning my figure. "To what do I owe this, Miss Parker?" He appeared not a bit concerned about the occurrence in the previous meeting, instead, sat on his face, was that irksome expression he bore effortlessly."I think your decisions are unfair" I let out in a tone that was pushed by rounds of frustration, anger, exasperation and adamancy. "I thought we had all that banter settled in the meeting, Miss Parker" Came his voice, with the bastard deeming it much interesting turning to the glass of wine sat on his desk. "You

~[CHAPTER EIGHT]~"I'm Susy" The voice of the girl before me was filled with much cheer, and I tell you, in as much as the sweetness she was sure to be found with seemed most charming, it pissed me to the bone. "I know" My own voice poured low, eyes fixed on the files scattered over my desk. All those files which needed sorting—All of it one thing to be attended to, and I tell you, I was finding it hard doing just that when some prat went moving around telling me I wasn't living up to the certifications of my résumé. "The introductions were made earlier" Broke my voice, with me soon bringing my attention on the girl. "Oh" She pushed even closer, laying down the brown paper box held in her hands, figure soon sinking into the seat next to mine. I could feel that scrutiny parade my form, and I didn't need to turn around to tell the smile which was sure to take her face. The girl could be fired and you were sure to find her with a grin. Whatever was most pleasing about the day? Bel
