Drinks tonight?
~JTym?~R9-ish? K&Anna will be there...~JI'll be late-ish, but I'll see u there :)~RGreat, Luminate on third. Can't wait ;)~JI shake my head smiling before placing my phone away and focusing on the mistifying creature of a man before me, "Why do I even have to join you? I'm practically dead meat." I groan, thinking of the irony.Nic hoists Mr Grey's right arm over his shoulder and Aaron does the same with the other arm, I grab his things and follow behind them.It's funny how when my boss is awake, he's on alert and notices every small thing but right now he's being dragged away by two people and he doesn't even bat an eye.Not like he ever does but it's almost like he's in a coma never bound to wake up but he comes back like Lazarus and tortures me for thirteen hours straight.We walk silently to the elevator and down to the underground parking lot, thankfullRelated chapters
The CEO Chapter 13
I flop down on my bed, mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. After I ordered an Uber for Jared who took his time telling me his address, I caught a cab for myself and on the ride home thought of what he did.I wasn't ready for that, after a wrong second or two of that I remember we pushed each other away almost like we realized what we were doing. It felt wrong, but I'd say I liked the feel of his lips on mine for only a second.Blame it on the tequila.Things were a bit awkward after that, a major part of me knows how wrong that felt. Almost like I was kissing Julio, the worst scenario that could happen.He's low-key my homie and that was wrong in so many ways, I just hope he doesn't remember anything seeing how drunk he was.I slip off my heels, fumble with the buttons of my shirt but give up after the third button and the skirt I just push down and let fall onto the floor.I slip under my comforter and close my eyes,

I walk out of the shop waving goodbye to Amelia, who gave me her number so that I could call her in case I needed a dress soon.I gladly took it though curious, my boss is leaning against the car phone in hand and shades on.I stare for a moment then snap out of it, he sees me approach and opens the door for me. "Twice in one day, I must be lucky." I joke.A muscle on his cheek twitches but he tries to hide it, "Mayhaps." I looks inside the car shaking my head, a bag with the signature Chanel brand on it.I look at my boss, who looks at me back, intensely. Waiting for me to argue, I sigh and enter the car silently, telling myself to just shut up.*~*~*~*"How's it coming up?" I look up and see Nic leaning on the door frame."Finally done, just adding the finishing touches." I mutter typing in the last sentence I need.Saving the edit, I hit print and let the printer do it's job. He enters and leaves a couple of

"Check, check, check and check." I look around and the almost finished gala decor.Mr Grey was right, today was a very busy day for me. Right now everything looks great, an hour before this officially starts the appetizers will be arriving and that's all that's left.Except for me, who is still is in her overalls because I didn't want to get dressy when all I'd be doing is running around like a lost dog.Like he read my mind, I recieve a call for my boss. "Outside." I look for Luke and hand him the clipboard to finish off whatever isn't ready and grab my bag before going outside.As always, he's leaning against the car, his phone in hand. "A little early don't you think?" I ask making him look up at me.His eyes go over my body, "Clearly not. We have a lot of work to do." He smirks when he gets a reaction out of me."Funny." I deadpan, he smiles once again making me smile then he opens the door for me.It's six thirty p.

I gaze outside in shock, I know the Grey gala has been a hot topic for the last two weeks but I didn't expect there to be a red carpet and dozens of paparazzi.Mr Grey exits the car and rounds behind then opens my door, the minute I step out I'm blinded by the flashes of cameras.Mr Grey's arm slips around my waist and pushes me very close to him, his scent wafts around me and the best radiating off him protects me against the cold of the night.We begin to walk, the flashes continue and questions begin to be thrown at my boss."Mr Grey who is accompanying you today?!""Will she be like the other models?!""Will your–"The questions end once we enter the two doors, I smile immediately at the lack of noise and bright lights.I am grateful when I see that everything is perfect, the hall is filled with many people, a lot of celebrities, many known businessmen and women, waiters walk around with trays of drinks and appetizers.Low murmurs and arr

I wipe the edge of my lips to rid my mouth of any remaining food, Nic stands up and comes to my side offering his hand."Would you care to dance Miss Clarkson?" He smiles winking, I laugh shaking my head and take his hand."I don't see why not Mr Rimini." I throw back, he returns the laugh and helps me up.He leads us to the area where there's more than enough space for most of us to dance, his hand rests just above my lower back and mine on his shoulder and our hands linked.We sway left and right to the music, "Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?" He asks after a few seconds.I look up for a second, "I don't think so. How can that be?" I ask just as he twirls me."I guess I was too speechless to even try and I apologise. You look absolutely beautiful Miss Clarkson." He changes his accent into a British one on the last statement.I laugh throwing my head back, "Dare I say the same about you Mr Rimini." I smile, he returns the smile pulling me

The moment the design of this car was released I fell in love with it and when it came out I learnt everything I could about it hoping to one day get the opportunity to drive it, there is no way I'm crashing it."Address?" I ask, he gives me a look for a second."Hotel on Broadway and seventh." I nod my head, of course he lives in one of his hotels.I start the car and grin like the madwoman I am when I feel and hear the engine roar to life, I almost want to giggle and squeal like a little girl."Can I get this car as a new year bonus?" I try my luck, he gives me a look that says it all making me laugh.Joining the rest of the cars in the road, I start of slow and safe, a part of me scared that I might actually crash."This can't be all you have Rosaleigh." My eyes widen slightly as I throw a quick glance at him.He's never called me by name, and I hate to admit that I like the way it sounds rolling out of his lips. He should call me by my name more.

I freeze for a second, his arm around my waist tightens and his hand goes frok my cheek to th back of my neck, urging me forward, urging me to kiss him back.Here we go, highly inappropriate if you ask me but I'll let it continue until his cellphone rings or you break something.I ignore the voice in my head and focus more on his lips moving roughly against mine, I move my lips against his at a much slower pace but soon I return the same pace.By now the dress is halfway way to pooling around my legs, his hand leaves my neck and trails down every curve of my body.He takes a step back into his room, I shrug my dress down and jump over it following him in. He closes the door by pushing me against it, I hiss lowly in his mouth.His mouth leaves mine and starts leaving quick kisses along my jawline and neck, I moan when he sucks on the V of my collarbone, my hands move up his back feeling every pull of his muscles to his silky hair.
The CEO Chapter 20
This last month has been busier than when I was busy with the gala, never ending meetings, tv interviews, filings, conferences etc.I've literally been arriving home at nine p.m if it's was a normal day but if not I'm lucky enough to even get an hour of sleep.I don't know what changed but something has changed.Jared and I have kept in touch and because of the guilt that I carry for some reason, I've been trying to help him get his job back.Which is what I'm doing right now instead of eating my lunch, I finish off the last of the recordings and head to my boss's office.The second I enter, smoke invades my lungs. I cough roughly and rush to the window to open it up and get a breath of fresh air.I set the files down and head to his desk, emptying out the third ashtray for this day I notice the already empty box of cigarettes in the bin.Did I forget to mention that he smokes like hell when he's stressed, two to three p
