The Cat and The Mouse
It was already 8am in the morning. But it was like it was still dawn. The sun and the dark clouds seemed to be arguing who would reign throughout the day.
“I will stay away from him as much as possible,” Evina uttered in determination with her eyes closed. She was already sitting on her office chair, and was ready to face the workload for the day.
“What are you afraid of, little mouse?” A deep, suave voice disturbed Evina from her meditation.
It was Gabriel, her multi-billionaire boss. His face was just a foot away from hers, startling Evina from her seat. She unconsciously bit her lips for being caught in the act.
“I-I’m not afraid of anything. And I’m not a little mouse,” Evina crossed her arms and glared at Gabriel.
A corner of his lips curled up. He then straightened up and stood with a wide stance. Then he fixed his tie and lifted his chin. It was as if he was saying that he was the boss, and she

They seemed to just got off from the dreary part of the day and were about to have their afternoon snacks.The tea shop was just near the building where they had the meeting for Gentech. She stayed behind as she waited for Julio, without the knowledge of her boss.A few hours ago, Evina went to the restroom while the meeting was ongoing. During that time, Julio approached her and asked to meet up with her. He said he has something to consult with her regarding his brother.“I would be hitting two birds in one stone,” Evina assured herself of the reason why she stayed behind.

The CEO's Rebellious Woman I'm Not A Traitor
The next day, Gabriel was excited to go to work. He was used to battling heads with the other executives that were leading the nation’s economic growth alone. Yesterday seems to be a different case. Gabriel was whistling as he recalled how Evina stepped up to lift The Elysian Inc in the pedestal while the bosses were singing praises to their archenemy. Because of her excellent relationship skills, they seemed to change their course from steering towards the Ming’s Group to The Elysian. It was beneficial because the current flowed to the actual meeting, where the Director that leads Gentech ear wigged on how exceptional the Elysian Inc is. They already have an inkling that they would make a wise investment if they would pick their company. He also remembered how she said that he was her precious gem, and it was not him who found her, but the other way around. It sounded cliché, but it somehow made his lips twitch. Gabriel’s grin turned to a huge smile

“Julio u-used me?” Evina uttered in disbelief. She didn’t know how she would react at that very moment. She could feel every fiber in her muscle burned in anger at Julio. And also at herself for being gullible with his devious schemes. However, she also felt sorry for Gabriel. He has poured out blood and sweat for this project. She wanted to defend herself. But she knew her stubbornness caused this chaos. And she wanted to admit it. “I’m sorry. I should have listened to you when you told me to stay away from him,” she bowed her head in sincere apology. Gabriel didn’t react. Mr. Gu seemed to sense that they need some privacy. He bowed down to the both of them and said, “I will just see what I can do. Excuse me, sir and ma’am.” It was now only the two of them in the office. But Gabriel, still, wasn’t saying anything. He seemed to have been frozen in his spot. His whole body seemed to be paralyzed except for his clenched jaw and clenching fists.

The CEO's Rebellious Woman Is This Love?
“Gabriel,” A moan escaped from Evina’s lips as she uttered the name of her boss. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she enjoyed what his boss was doing to her. Her head tossed back and forth in delirium. Her fingers grabbed her white blanket and clutched at it until she reached the climax of her euphoria. After a few minutes, her body calmed down and returned to its natural state. As it did so, she suddenly bolted up from her bed. Her eyes darted around her. She was still in her bed, and it’s only 5am in the morning. There was no Mr. Yang. “It’s only a dream,” Evina uttered as her shoulders hunched. She didn’t know if it was because she was glad or disappointed. She knew that she had to stay away from him, as she promised her sister, Maria. Her original plan of being an executive assistant was just to earn money for her family. She doesn’t want to get involved with anyone, especially the CEO.

The CEO's Rebellious Woman A Temporary Relationship
“How did you invite our CEO to join us here?”Gabriel overheard one of his staffs asked Evina. He looked around him, wondering what really made him come there. There was a giant spinning Ferris wheel in the middle of the amusement park they were in. Colorful looping rollercoasters were circling around it. Loud music mixed with screams and laughter filled the air.He grimaced as the whole place smelled of burgers, corn dogs and ice cream.Gabriel couldn’t remember the last time that he has been to a fair. But it was Evina who picked this place to spend their victory party with.“Maybe he really has childish desires within him that made him come here,” Evina whispered back to her colleague.
