Falling for the CEO 254
Roberta’s dress had a knee high slit. She knew it wasn't a good choice since it was freezing outside. She sighed and wore her heels. Just as Doris had promised, she managed to get her an invitation. It was basically a meeting with the top businessmen in the game. They discussed politics and any other thing of their choice.It was also at the club where elections for the post of minister were held. It sounded absurd and it sounded so crazy that elections were rigged there too.She had published some stories for the newspaper but Doris asked that she not publish them, at least not yet. She was waiting for the perfect time to nip the bud. That was how corrupt Wyatt and some of the other politicians were. She expected to see Wyatt there but hoped not to see anyone that she knew. She wore a black fascinator on her head that covered half of her face. She knew what she was about to do was risky but she had insisted on it. The more she got involved in the case, the more excited s

"I know that you and Wyatt were quite close and you were acquainted with Mr Jacobin and Mr Wonder, what really happened between you and Wyatt? Why are you here even though you don’t like him," Roberta asked, staring at him. "We attended art conferences together and we made art together. We became friends by the choice of my profession and I regret being acquainted with him because it had caused me so much more trouble than you can imagine," he said in a flat tone. He was irritated by how piercing her eyes were. He thought he had gotten rid of Doris but now, there was someone even worse. He had met Doris at the university, back then Wonder and her were known as lovebirds. She was super sweet but the hardship of life had changed her a whole lot. "I know what happened on the fifteenth of may, fourteen years ago" Roberta stared firmly although her voice was a little bit shaky.Doris hadn’t told her the details but being a nosy reporter had equipped her with so much information.

Roberta’s eyes were filled with tears as she stormed out of the room. What upset her was how emotional she was about the whole thing. When she had started writing about the case, the only thing that was on her mind was to take down Wyatt but now, she was scared of how deep everything was.Wyatt was emotionally attached to his daughter, if he found out the truth, he would not only attack the writer but he’d attack her family too. Fred didn't bother to hold her back, he wasn't proud of what he did but what had happened couldn't be changed. Wyatt deserved even more than that. If they thought of how many people he had hurt and destroyed their businesses, it would be way more worse than what he had done. Also, Mrs wyatt had a share in the blame. If only she had run away with him the first time that she asked her to do so, maybe they wouldn’t have had to deal with all these now. She cleaned the tears off her face with the back of her palm. The tears mixed with her mascara and it

Roberta finalized her meeting with Doris. She contacted an interior designer and they agreed to meet as soon as possible. The security that had followed her made her uncomfortable but she was kind of used to it. Her boss had protected her twenty four seven and treated her like an egg which proved again that people only treated others with respect and caution when they had something important to offer. Life was fabulous for her even though her parents were scared for her, they knew she was working with Doris. Even though her father wasn’t having any of it, he had to painfully accept that his once shy daughter was now a teenager and he needed to let her make decisions for herself. Roberta drove to West bridge, she decided to set up a meeting with Doris. Doris was able to find a quiet location in the rural part of Oregon. It didn’t seem like much but she enjoyed how quiet and peaceful everything was. Also, Wyatt couldn’t locate her there because it was restricted.She felt sorry

It had been a couple of days since her secret had gotten out and she was surprisingly doing fine for herself. After she had poured out her heart to her parents and Esme, she felt absolutely better, life wasn’t that bad, she had told herself. Nate had tried contacting her but in her usual strong headed manner, she had ignored him. She didn’t need anyone judging her or scolding her for what she had done. She frowned at herself, it was only right that she gave him a chance to speak but she wasn’t ready to do so, at least not yet. She needed some space as the cameras were all over her. On one particular day, she had woken up to a couple of reporters outside her home. Her mother was so livid that she had to call the police to get rid of them. She absolutely loved the attention that she was getting. Her

The last few days had been hectic and terrible. Ruby wasn’t speaking to him, yet again. He was almost convinced that ste did it on purpose to spit him.

The last few nights had been the best nights of her life, she slept comfortably with her friend Esme and in her arms,also she had no reason to worry as she was comfortable. She loved the comfort of her room, it reminded her of her teenage years,posters of her favorite band were hung up on the wall, they looked faded but she left them there anyway.The new room was perfect and she had brought almost everything from the old house. She stretched lazily on her bed, her days had become routine, she helped her parents at the restaurant, visited Esme often to take care of her and went to the shelter after work hours.

She dialed her mother's number several times on her way to the house. She began to panic as no one was taking the call. Her mother always picked up at the second ring.She received a text from Ruby, asking her if she was still going to make it for the party. She tried to calm herself down but it wasn't working. She took her Zoloft pills. One thing she had in common with Ruby was anxiety.
