In Love With The CEO Chapter Twenty Eight
It's the day before my wedding. It's been a month since I last spoke to my dad and though thinking of the situation brews conflicted thoughts, I'm enjoying what's around me and making sure to start each day with a bang."No Ms. Jones.", I huff, placing my hands on my hips, "You have to catch up. You're supposed to be the best of the best, there's three mistakes in this document."She stammers for an excuse, but I silently stare at her then the corrected papers on her desk."Y- No, Bailey said that those were minor adjustments,", She says, gathering her ground, "That it's not necessary to perfect those numbers."My face flattens as I deadpan her. Lazily, as she continues furthering her excuse, I drape my eyes up and down her figure. Her words falter and eventually I look back up. I sigh and gather my hands behind my back, "... Ms. Jones, tell me,", I hold her eye, "Do I look like Ms. Bailey?"[] [] []At lunch, I'm called to Kevin's office.I push my way through the big doors, our lunc
In Love With The CEO Prologue
There are three things you should know about me.One. My name is Aurora, Ro for short. You can call me Aurora.Two. I've recently finished my degree, but I've been in the workforce since I was sixteen.Three. I'm about to nail this job interview.Waiting has never been my strong suit. It builds up unnecessary anticipation and makes you nervous.My competition today consists of women dressed in pencil skirts and men in tailored suits, the common denominator being that they all sit straight. It's logical. The interview we're going for is a rare opportunity and one of us will be choLopez as the assistant of the CEO's secretary.So, tell me, out of all these respected professionals, why I had to sit next to the only person in the room hunched over and frantically bouncing her knee.I clasp my hands together atop of my knees and turn to her, placing a crisp smile on my lips, "Are you nervous?""Oh!", The woman gasps, she was in her head. She softly laughs, "Yes. Very."I decide not to answ

"No dad, I have to- okay. Yes. Okay, I- Yes dad,", I hastily checked my watch. I'm in a rush to get to Beetle Ports headquarters and dad isn't letting me off the phone, "Dad listen, I have to- ""I'm serious Aurora, don't screw this up. Your mother and I both expect big things from you. Think of all- "I sigh into the phone; I regret telling him that I got the job. My heels clack on the ground as I speed along the city pathways."I've got to go dad.", I say as I hang up and round the last corner to the building.My watch says seven-forty-five, which means I'm early, but I wouldn't cut it any closer. Being tardy is professional, being early is respectable.Today I'm wearing a sleek black skirt, a cream satin blouse, and black leather stilettos. Perfectly simple. Classy.Ms. Bailey greets me at the door, legs straight and hands held in the front. She's a striking woman but not because of her features. She's striking because she stares at you as if she knows everything. As if you couldn'

My second week at Beetle Ports Headquarters begins with a bang. This week we are preparing for a celebratory charity event on Sunday, and everyone is in a frenzy. Ms. Bailey is barking orders at me from eight A.M. Two hours after home time, multitudes of people rush in and out of Ms. Bailey's office all day, leaving me either glued to my desk or running through floors. By Monday night, my high heels had burned blisters into my feet. But I'm back at it again Tuesday morning bright and early, organising group after group to participate in the event."Hello, Beetle Ports Headquarters. Aurora speaking.""Hello, this is Aurora from Beetle Ports, am I speaking to Johnathon?""Hello, this is Beetle from Aurora Ports headquar- Sorry. This is Aurora from- "Ms. Bailey is a sharp woman, extremely efficient at best, curt at worst."Today, Mr. Jameson is meeting us to review his potential investments. He always has horrible timing, don't fret. He is allergic to dust, bees, pollen, and... perfume,

I wake up Monday morning with my alarm spitting at me. I'd gone to bed around one in the morning last night and now I have to suffer the consequences of that. Groggily, I rise out of bed then leave for my jog, eat, shower and head for work.It's comforting to see everyone else is crawling around like Zombies too. I pick up a coffee for Ms. Bailey and I, knowing we'll need it, and trudge to the elevator.Ms. Bailey sits at her desk looking as fresh as a daisy, though staying as late as I did last night. I offer her the coffee which she politely refuses.I don't complain, I'm already halfway through mine. Another won't hurt.I'm fumbly all day, making little mistakes constantly. Ms. Bailey doesn't confront me about it, but I can tell she's caught on and it stresses me."Aurora.", she calls from her office.I'm glad for the distraction, I've been fighting to keep my eyes open for an hour and a half."Yes Ms. Bailey?", I respond, stepping into her office."There is a major shipment com

"Ro Ro, that's pretty cool.", Helly hums, twirling Daisy around by the tips of her fingers.I chuckle, "Thanks. I'm very tired.""You should become an investigator, ratting evil people and stuff.", Daisy chimes in, twirling again.After missing Friday dinner, my girls called an emergency meeting at Helly's place. Unfortunately, Eva couldn't make it, she's on a hot date with her boyfriend of the week."You'd make a great cop.", Helly laughs, shimmying her hips to the music.I faux glare at her, "Now, what's that supposed to mean?"[] [] []"Aurora.", Ms. Bailey greets standing from my desk as I enter our floor."Good morning Ms.Bailey,", I reply, handing her a coffee, "Did you sleep well?""Yes. Thank you,", She says, taking it and placing it down. She takes a breath. "Aurora. I reviewed your findings on the lost shipments and brought it to the attention our insurance staff. We're scheduled to meet them in an hour. Please prepare a presentation."Four men sit in front of me, including

It's hard not to rush to Ms. Bailey Monday morning and blubber out everything that I have seen. I couldn't have helped myself. Sunday night I had been rotting wondering how the situation with Mr. Menni had turned out, I couldn't have stopped myself from committing to a quick search of 'Beetle Ports - Menni - Smuggling' and I was right! Well, I think I was right... The article was vague to say the least. But I'm pretty sure I'm right!As I sit at my desk, I can't help but glance at Ms. Bailey. She must know. Surely, she must know. But if she does, she doesn't give anything away.I slump in my chair. What fun is catching a villain if I don't get to brag about it. The day only lessens in excitement from then on. I make phone calls and fill out paperwork, but I don't get the excitement of being called into Ms. Bailey's office. I travel to the floors below, go get coffee, but I don't get to visit the top floor. By the end of the day, I'm dreary and bored. Tuesday's no better but Wednesday
In Love With The CEO Chapter Six
"Dad, I've really gotta go- ""Aurora, I'm coming down with Uncle Will next week. I- ""No! I mean-, sorry. No dad you can't.", I sigh.Three years ago, Uncle Will lost his job. He's been sitting lazy ever since. My dad has always had patience for him, being his brother apparently meant unconditional funding. I, being the main source of income in my family, am expected to help.Dad sighs also. There's a tense silence through the phone.My mother has a similar viewpoint to me. She's realistic. She understands my father's want to help his brother, but she also knows that Uncle Will is greedy and prone to entitled behaviour. Unfortunately, she's much softer, much kinder than me. She lacks the courage to stand up to my father and romanticizes his outwardly stubborn nature. So, I've been burdened by my mother's morality and my father's stubbornness."Aurora. One more chance, he won't blow it.", Dad sighs.I close my eyes. One more chance."Okay.", I whisper.[] [] []"No!", All of my frien
