Be Gentle With Me, Mr. CEO Chapter 12
On a quiet evening a few days later, Calla sat in a charming steakhouse as she waited for her blind date.Honestly, she didn't really feel for professors. She was just there to go through the motions. So, she thought long and hard for a plan.At 7:00 pm sharp, a man in a white shirt, gray slacks, and gold-framed glasses sat down in front of Calla."Hi. My name is Harlan Engler. I'm 31 years old and a local. I currently work as a lecturer at Southera University." Harlan's introduction was short and simple. Calla threw him a couple of glances. Then, she lifted her chin and said, "I have a few questions for you."Harlan was a very elegant man. He exuded the temperament of a scholar. He probably wasn't a snobbish academic.Calla really didn't want to agitate the man. But she wouldn't be able to break free if she didn't do so."I'll answer your questions to the best of my abilities." Harlan smiled, revealing his pearly whites."Do you have a house?" Calla glanced at him.While R

As expected, Mercer heard all about Calla's dinner date with Harlan.Mercer's grip tightened around his pen, and he wrote with heavy strokes on a document. His expression darkened immediately when he heard about it. Simon noticed Mercer's expression. So, he quickly said, "Mr. Garland, it's just a blind date. It's probably nothing…"Simon got tongue-tied halfway through his sentence because he knew Mercer was about to lose his temper. Mercer frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, he said, "Send the word. The company restructuring has to be completed by the end of this month, and the Riverford branch is to be dissolved at the same time!""Yes, sir." Simon went to work right away.After Simon left, Mercer pulled open his drawer and looked at the picture on the résumé. He grunted. "Woman, how dare you go on a blind date while carrying my child?"The blind date gave Mercer the urge to meet Calla again. It was time for him to show up. Initially, he was afraid that his true ident

It was almost the end of the month. Alicia went to the office and dragged Calla outside. "Where are we going?" Calla asked, puzzled. "The list of retained employees has been announced. Let's go take a look," Alicia said urgently.Calla replied, "You'll definitely get to stay."Alicia turned around and saw Calla's dejected expression. So, she comforted her, "You've always done a good job. Maybe you'll get to stay as well.""It'll be great if you get to stay. I'll be taking maternity leave soon anyway." The company found out about her out-of-wedlock pregnancy. She was definitely getting laid off. Not to mention, the manager of the HR department was in a relationship with Peggy, who would never allow her to stay.They arrived at the conference room where the list was shown. A lot of people were already there. The two of them were barely able to squeeze their way inside. Alicia searched for her name on the list anxiously, while Calla was not at all interested in the list. She r

Calla went to work at the headquarters of Atlas Enterprises for the first time on Monday. It was a new place, so she decided to have a makeover. She wore very formal attire that day—a black office dress with a red low-cut blouse underneath. Her shoes had a slight heel, and her hair cascaded neatly down her back.She looked very sharp and energetic. She really hoped to make a good impression on her new superior.But she'd had a stroke of bad luck. There was an accident that caused her to be stuck in traffic for 20 minutes.She got up early but ended up getting to the office late. She rushed into the office building urgently but saw a huge group of people waiting for the elevator. She looked at her watch and frowned. It was three minutes before 9:00 am. She was definitely going to be late. Being late on the first day of work would leave a bad impression. Her superior would definitely not take kindly to that.That wouldn't do. She couldn't be late. So, she turned around and head

"Sir, I don't know you. You probably got the wrong person." Calla immediately pretended not to know Mercer.Mercer glared at her without saying anything for a few seconds. Calla felt like his gaze was very sharp. It was like a knife that instantly pierced through her clothes and saw right through her.For some reason, the memories of the night of passion they shared came back to her. Her cheeks were flushed immediately. "You're so heartless. You forgot about me as soon as you pulled up your pants? Have you forgotten about all the fun we had?" Mercer brushed his fingers through her hair and looked at her with a taunting look.Then, the elevator arrived at the 20th floor. Calla felt like she had been humiliated. So, she raised her hand and slapped him in the face.Mercer didn't expect her to slap him, so he was stunned. Before he could snap out of it, Calla shoved him with all her strength and pushed him out of the elevator. Then, she walked out of the elevator and ran away

Atlas Enterprises held its first employees' meeting for the first time since moving to Riverford at 9:30 am the following day.Only the retained employees from the branch office and the staff of the headquarters' functional departments attended the meeting, but all the seats in the large conference room were still taken.There were at least a couple hundred people there. There were flowers arranged alongside the nameplates of the executives on the platform. It was clear that the company cared about the meeting.Calla and Alicia sat further in the back while Peggy sat in the first row. She loved attention, so she would probably make the most of this chance to find a target with whom to establish a connection."Let us welcome the CEO of Atlas Enterprises, Mr. Mercer Garland, and the other executives!" Thunderous applause erupted in the room after the emcee finished talking. "Is that Mr. Garland? He looks so young and handsome!" The two female employees talking behind Calla were

Calla had no choice. She didn't dare to ignore Mercer's summon.She entered Mercer's office uneasily after a few minutes. He was seated in his chair and looking at a document. It was like he didn't even notice she was there.Calla took a deep breath as she looked at him. She tried to remain calm as she said, "You were asking for me, Mr. Garland?"She immediately gave him an unnatural smile when he raised his head. He was probably very angry because she'd slapped him the day before.She figured he probably called her over to exact revenge or to fire her.Although she didn't like him at all, she needed the job very badly. She composed herself and decided to admit defeat. After all, she was desperate. His gaze was sharp and icy as he scrutinized her from top to toe.It was the same gaze he had the day before. It annoyed Calla a little. It caused her to think about their night together, which made her blush.But she could only hold in her displeasure.She thought to herself, 'Doe

Mercer continued to walk toward Calla, and she continued to move back.Then, she felt the couch behind her with her heel, and she dropped down and sat on a single-seat couch.Mercer quickly put his hands on the couch's armrests and leaned in toward her. Calla looked at him with a terrified expression and stammered, "What… What do you want?"Mercer looked at Calla, who was like a frightened bunny at the moment. Then, he said in a suggestive tone, "I remember you said that my skills were lacking. I have been practicing very hard for the past month. "I've finally reached a whole new level. So, I've called you over to ask you to experience it again. I'd like to see if my skills have grown to an acceptable level for you—since you paid me so little last time."His warm breath brushed against her skin and caused her to panic."Mr. Garland, we're at the office right now," Calla reminded him loudly. "Are you saying that we should go back to the Grand Hill Hotel again?" Mercer said in
