"Do you even understand me? I guess not. Listen, Blake, I am sick of such an attitude. Set things right, okay? I have always been living my life in perfect calmness and trouble-free way until you come back.You ruined everything and then I am still trying to make things go back to the way they were but you are making things harder than they ought to." Anna shouted as she walked out of the room.Blake was leaning against the wall, with a confused expression. He had tried speaking with her after her arrival from Austin's school but she was being headstrong and didn't want to listen. "I am sorry." He replied. "Can you at least stay away from me and act professionally both in the office and outside of it? Saying SORRY doesn't solve anything. I want to live my life in peace." She retorted and folded her arms against her chest.Afterward, she pointed at the door insinuating that he should leave. "Are you sure that you do not want to see me disturb you anymore?" Blake asked her, there was
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 45. SHOPPING.
Hera slammed the door shut as soon as she was out of the car with Zach. Along the way, she had fixed her eyes on certain spots and she was glad to have been able to remember a few paths. They were standing in front of the damaged branch of the company. Hera gasped.It was burnt down brutally. Who could have done this? It had turned into a crime scene for the cops to investigate and because of that, no one was allowed in until their arrival.The place was a bit dusty and light smile due to the burnt could be seen coming out from various spots in the building. There were also some reporters trying to picture remnants or any other fresh information that they could.Zach had come in through the other side so it was hard for them to figure out that it was him.She glanced at Zach however the latter's expression was as solid as a rock. He walked ahead of her towards the scene. There were two men dressed in uniform, they were the cops in charge of the case.Immediately they saw Zach, they bec
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 46. UNEASINESS.
"Shopping? But why? Is there really any need for that?" She asked him confusingly. Zach sighed and coiled his tongue while still staring ahead of him from the car before looking at her fully to answer her questions. "You are in the capital of a country that tends to be very cold. What do you expect me to do? See you wear your thick-headed clothing and watch your soul freeze to death like Anna from Frozen?" He asked back in a form of an answer. Hera wanted to reply but she stopped herself from doing so.She was lost for words. "Alright." She agreed reluctantly. Zach smirked and got out of the car before her. Hera stared at his back from inside the car. She had a very much complicated expression on her face while doing so. She wasn't a kid anymore...she had read so many romantic novels...watched so many Cinderella love stories...heard so many prince charming arrivals in the depressed ladies' lives, was this the same thing that was happening to her? She sincerely hoped not. This would
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 47. YOU CAN MOVE IN.
Back in City A, it was already evening in the Young Mansion. Delilah was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed as she watched the television. Beside her were a few of her luggage and in front of her were snacks given to her to enjoy the waiting moment.She gently removed her sunglasses and unhooked her heels to free her legs before looking around. This was it. She was going to be here in the meantime.Just then Jennie came downstairs from her room eagerly after knowing that Delilah was in the sitting room. "Oh my goodness, dear. Hello." She squealed happily. Delilah laughed at her future mother-in-law's behavior. She stood up to hug the slightly aged woman who didn't fail to kiss her after all. Jennie was fond of Delilah a lot and that was why she considered the girl a suitable partner for her son. She was nice and had it all in. No dispute. "How are you doing? Have your seat, my dear." "Thank you, Aunt. I missed you so much." "I also did. I am sorry that this had to be on sh
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 48. CONFESSION: I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU.
"Mr. Zach?" "Hmm?" "Can I ask you a question?" "Go ahead." Hera cleared her throat and proceeded to speak while Zach stared at her curiously, wondering what she wanted to speak that made her look this pale. "Mr. Zach, I don't think I need to remind you that between the two of us, none of us is a kid anymore. You are twenty-six and I am twenty-seven. There is really no need for us to play hide and seek." She paused and drank a cup of water before she continued. "I...[sighed heavily] I...I think it will be right if we can have this discussion like a proper adult should and just get over it. I am a mother of one so it means I am not new to the game. I have read a lot of books, seen a lot of movies, and heard a lot of stories and this is how it eventually turns out to be."Zach shook his head confusingly, "Miss Hera, I still don't get what you mean."Hera nodded after swallowing. "I heard from your workers and those close with you to know a few of your behaviors that...that the
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 49. SOCIAL DISTANCING.
Zach decided to hold the meeting at another venue the next morning since the original company was seriously out of options. He was waiting for the rest of the members alongside Hera who chose to sit down at a far distance. He was unhappy about this but he knew that it had to do with the discussion that they had yesterday. However, he was able to let her in on his mind so he wouldn't have to be scared about making a move on her.A few minutes later, some of the expected guests started arriving and they greeted one another. Zach waited patiently for all of them to arrive before he started the meeting. "It's quite unfortunate that such a thing happened right under your noses and no one can give a report that will help out with the investigation. Anyway, less talking about that. More action on the important work to do." A man stood up with his head bowed low at first. "The fire incident damaged a lot of goods in the warehouse not far from the building. Most of these goods are expensiv
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 50. SHOOT.
Blake entered the company with a young girl clinging to his arm. She was fair in complexion rather than white and she had an hourglass figure even with her small stature. Her hair was packed up in a style that could remind one of the cartoon character BARBIE. Her giggling and talking could be heard as they were approaching the main company. "Good morning, sir." All the boss's fifteen stood up to greet them including Anna. Her eyes went from Blake to the young girl multiple times while trying to maintain her stand. "Good morning to you all. I got a call from Zach this morning. This is what he needs you all to do. There was a certain amount of money collected from this purse around a few months ago. Twenty billion dollars to be precise however they can't give an account for it and before he makes any conclusion, he needs to know if you guys could have the original detail." He explained to them. "Alright, sir. We will check and get back to you." Mira responded and Blake nodded before
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 51. GUNSHOTS.
Later in the evening, Hera and Zach were coming back from the last place they had gone to for business. She refused to speak with him and even if there was a need, she would prefer to be formal about it. Zach still didn't mind because he knew that he had a lot of things to do and there was going to be sufficient time enough.Even though she wasn't on a speaking term with him, she still found it okay to enjoy the ice cream that he bought randomly. "Is it delicious?" He asked, intending to start a conversation with her. Hera nodded, she indeed loved the flavor and promised to get one for Austin because she knew that he would love it. "How do you plan on dealing with the embezzlers?" She inquired.Zach sighed and rubbed the space between his brows. He was also confused because he was yet to plan on that particular issue. He didn't expect that the twenty million dollars would go to waste just like that. Maybe this fire incident was for a good cause after all. "I still don't know yet. I
