The CEOs Rejected Bride. 59. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?
"So, how was the place, huh? You people took so long to come back. I thought you were going to settle down there instead of coming here." Anna asked her friend suspiciously as she unpacked her luggage.She had seen Zach drop Hera off him but something was strange to her and that was; she was expecting her friend to come out of the car immediately but she didn't. Anna and Austin stared at the window for what seemed to be minutes but their beloved Hera was yet to show herself to that made Anna suspicious but not the young Austin who had something else in mind.Austin was also in the room but whatever they were saying was none of this business. He was only concerned with what Zach informed him about the stuff that he had brought as a gift for him. "Here, Austin." Hera gave him the package and he collected it. "Thanks, Mum." He immediately jumped right on opening it. To their surprise, it was the latest wristwatch.Even Hera was surprised to see it. Austin lifted it for everyone to see.
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 60. OBSESSION.
The next day was Sunday evening. Zach was at his penthouse having a good time with his friend. It was less like a good time anyway because Blake was busy catching up on a series and refused to do anything else since they started the day together. He was watching the ongoing series and would often scream and sometimes laugh at the characters' behavior. All these were not strange to Zach, he just found them boring and unacceptable for him.He invited his friend over to keep him company however the latter was keeping himself and the television the company that they didn't deserve while he was left alone to wonder why he was wasting time watching the two of them.He casually picked up his phone and turned on his data. At that moment, Clara's message popped in and his eyes widened as if he had seen something very surprising. He looked at the time that she sent it and saw that it was an hour again.Feeling guilty and disappointed in himself, he decided to reply to her quickly. He dusted h
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 61. OFFICE AFFAIR [1]
It was another beautiful Monday morning that some considered to be loveable for them while others considered overbearing, especially for the lazy ones. "Moreover, the percentage of those who actually hate Mondays is higher than any other day," Anna concluded and turned off her iPad after she finished reading. Today, they didn't take her car and went by bus instead. Hera looked at her friend and smiled. "What about you? Do you hate Mondays?" "Sometimes, I do and sometimes I don't. It's just a matter of the mood I happen to be in when that day comes every week. You?" "Mondays are the best days of my life. I love Mondays." Hera responded cheerfully. She glanced at her phone. It was almost seven in the morning. She was sure that Zach would have been on his way or might have gotten there.She felt a little bit tensed up because she didn't know how things were going to look for her today. What if he showed up and said he wasn't interested anymore? What if she messed up? What if he didn
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 62. OFFICE AFFAIR [2]
The door suddenly opened and Hera's heart sank. She quickly turned her head around to see who it was even though she was not sure if that should have been the first thing to do in such a situation. Standing at the door was no other than Blake with an 'I-am-done look' on his face. Zach sighed and rubbed his forehead while Hera sprang up to her feet. "Can you please close the door?" He asked his friend. Drake was surprised and did as told before walking over to meet them.Hera couldn't believe that Zach didn't lock the door. Even Drake was surprised. "Mr. Blake, it's not..." Hera wanted to defend whatever he saw but he was already in on what was happening. "Can you two at least lock the door before going this deeper? I mean the two of you just started and you, my friend are already taking things too far."Blake mentioned as he pulled out the chair and sat down. "You don't tell me what to do in my relationship." Zach snapped at him and then pulled Hera again to sit on his lap. The
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 63. I LOVE YOU.
The relationship between Zach and Hera was going smoothly and it felt easy to hide at first. Zach was the one working harder on the relationship and building more info their closeness as a couple. He would often sneak to her place in the middle of the night while he left Blake to clean his mess whenever any came up.At this point, Hera received Anna's call from downstairs that someone was asking after her. Immediately, she packed her things up and left the office. Zach had not been around for two days so staying inside the office was such a big blow to her face. She had no one to stare at or stare at her. She felt completely lonely once more but then his calls kept her going most time.As soon as she came out of the elevator, she saw a delivery man. He was wearing a long-sleeved red shirt and black pants alongside the baseball cap that had a badge for the company that he was working with. "He said that he is here for you." Anna pointed when she saw Hera. She was surprised to see a
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 64. A CALL FOR MODELING.
Hera went ahead to meet Selena at the designated location that she had sent to her. It was a Cafe nevertheless and it seemed to be an abandoned one seeing as no one was in there but old furniture and some uncertain things. Hera opened the door and looked around her carefully. The smell of burnt cake welcomed her nostrils she had to sniff and rub her nose as a gesture to it. Then Selena waved to her and she smiled quickly. Hera hastily went over to meet her and sat when she got to Selena's side. "Hi." Selena waved. "Hi." "I am sorry for calling you here on short notice." "It's fine. What's this place?" Hera asked as she looked around again.Selena chuckled, "It belongs to my grandmother. This is my grandmother's cafe that has been in existence from one generation to another. It was passed down to her. I rarely come here though but I had to because of our meeting. Is this place suitable enough for you? We can go elsewhere if you want." Hera shook her head in disagreement,
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 65. WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME?
"So, you decided to keep the truth away from me, Hera?" Anna asked after listening to Hera's side of the story.Hera sighed and nodded her head apologetically. "I didn't wish to, Anna. I was going to tell you sooner or later but I was just a bit skeptical about everything. I wasn't sure that it would work out since we just started and I was also scared as well." "Scared? Why would you be scared?" "About the attention that I might receive for being with him." "Who cares? Someone has to settle down with him anyway. If you both love each other it's fine. He is also aware of this and he is ready to fight against the world for the both of you so I see no reason why you shouldn't do the same too." Anna responded.Hera sighed again. "So, do you love me?" Anna asked her friend eagerly. "Well...he seems okay to begin with and his smile...his touch...his words everything seems to affect my brain in so many aspects. I only pretend not to be affected when in reality, I am so much affected
The CEOs Rejected Bride. 66. JEALOUSY.
Zach was soon back from the business trip he went on and was in his parents' house as usual. He would have loved to spend every second of his with Hera and Austin but right at the moment, he was forced to stay with the family, probably to keep them company. It was then that he realized that Delilah was now living with him in the same house. He didn't know what his parents' aim was about this but he tried as much as possible to be nice to her to a certain limit as it ought to be. "It's been a while since we had fun." Delilah started a topic after their wine had been served. Zach looked up from his phone and glanced at her. He nodded reluctantly before he continued pressing his phone. "Do you perhaps have anywhere in mind that we both can go to and spend the day together?" "Aren't you busy with work? I am also busy with work so I don't have enough time to spend fooling around." He replied instantly. "Fooling around? I never knew that you would call closeness between best f
