The Turkish CEO Surprises from the East
Chapter 1Surprises from the EastGiuliaNew Jersey. September 2019. 25 degrees.The only thing I craved more than a cold drink was an air conditioner that night. We didn't have air conditioning. It broke in the last blackout on our street. Some friends called me out and I looked at my watch. It was Sunday, still 5 pm. Well, it was better than just facing the noise of the spinning fan producing a hot wind all night. Plus the mosquitoes buzzing in my ears even with all the wind from the fan. I finally accepted the invitation because I wanted to celebrate my new job, so I told my parents that I was going out. I went back to my room after hearing some worried recommendations from my parents and started to get ready. I looked through the closet of clothes and nothing suited me. I decided and gave up on several dresses until an almost burgundy red one caught my eye. I didn't like that dress very much, I didn't like red so much, but I had tried everything in the closet and nothing I liked o
The Turkish CEO The boss
Chapter 2 The Boss Giulia "Is it for me?" I asked, extending my hand towards the soda can he was holding out. "Yes, yes, here! The man doesn't look at us!" he replied, amused by the situation. I let out a sympathetic laugh when I heard his accent. It didn't sound like Italian, Spanish, French, or English. "Thank you. Is it Arabic?" I asked curiously, intrigued by his masculinity. He stroked his chest, and only then did I notice that his shirt was slightly open, revealing a very athletic chest. "Turkey!" he replied. "Turkey! Ah, Turkey, soap operas!" I said, lost in thought. But why, Giulia? You usually follow Turkish soap operas on social networks, and he doesn't, for sure, he's a man. "Yes, soap opera!" he confirmed, handing me the can of soda. As I looked at his face, I could now clearly notice his distinctly Turkish features. I had been studying Turkish and French for the last few months, so I decided to take a risk and say a few phrases; after all, it was part of my job.
The Turkish CEO America
Chapter 3 America Giulia Serkan positioned himself beside me and gave me an irritated look. If it weren't for my first job as a translator and my need, I would have run out of there. My hands were shaking and sweating. That man could be even more handsome in daylight. "You? My interpreter?" He spoke softly and sat down. "Good morning, everyone!" "It seems so... um," I hesitated for a few seconds, "Mister Serkan." "Perfect, I will give you the instructions later. Introduce yourself to them as your first task. I wish you a warm welcome, and let's have a great job," he smiled an unwilling smile. "Perfectly," I replied. I introduced myself to everyone at the meeting and announced that I was the new translator of documents for foreign affairs. Then I sat down. "Well..." he gestured with his hand to continue the meeting, approached me, and held out a piece of paper that looked like a spreadsheet. "So, Giulia, it looks like you will be my advisor. Write down everything you think is
The Turkish CEO Lies we tell
Chapter 4 Lies We TellSerkanAs if it wasn't enough to have been rejected by one of the few women I didn't consider a slut in the world, on top of that I would have to put up with that beautiful girl as an employee. Serkan, if she had slept with you the first night, she would not have been as exciting as she is now for you. She would have been just one more in the crowd of women that frequent the nights in the big metropolises. Of course she was different, she had a strong personality that I could feel from meters away. This attracted and repelled me at the same time. But, after all, I knew that I possessed a rather difficult temperament and was fully aware that I was mistreating her because I had been rejected. She was not stupid. I just didn't know what to do with her. But I had really important matters to attend to on that construction site. I had been hired as Albaf's general manager to manage and protect in court those projects that needed lawyers with experience in complicated
The Turkish CEO The word is silver, the silence is gold
Chapter 5The word is silver, the silence is goldGiuliaThe day flew by. Soon I would have to leave for home, face the crowded subway and the heat; I was even too lazy to go out. The heels had already blistered my feet, I was a wreck. Suddenly my office door opened. It was the Turk."Are you going?" he stopped at the door and asked me."Yes, in a moment." He came into the room, and I looked up to observe his strange behavior."I wanted to thank you for doing what you could with the old man. I couldn't thank you until now." I lifted my chin after that look and crossed my arms."It's a shame they'll have to build mansions around a poor house, but it's his right.""Yes, but my office fails as conciliators if he remains unsold, and I have to break the bad news. But I noticed something...""Yes?" I was curious as to why he continued to pay so much attention to me."You managed to get from him the reason; until then nobody knew.""Maybe they didn't hear what he had to say.""I wonder if yo
The Turkish CEO Too many problems, too few solutions
Chapter 6"Too many problems, too few solutions."SerkanOut of all the foolish things I was capable of, that was one of the worst: judging your entire people. I couldn't go after that beautiful girl who was leaving; I was wrong. What was left for me was to wait for the next day to somehow redeem myself. I looked around, searched for my car with my eyes, and headed towards it. I heard the phone ringing in my pocket, and when I looked at the name, it was Eda. My mother? “Annem?” “Serkan, when are you coming back to Istanbul, my son?” “Mom, I'm working, you already know that.” “My son, we've set the wedding with Asli. It will be in five months.” I stopped in the middle of the street, in despair. “What?! Mom, you didn't do this!” “We did, her lovely mother chose a date, and we accepted. You know how wealthy they are.” “Mom, I agreed to this engagement, it doesn't mean I'm going to marry Asli.” “What do you mean, Serkan? Don't play games with me, young boy! You agreed to get
The Turkish CEO Lovely proposal
Chapter 7Lovely proposalGiuliaThe next day, still very hurt, I arrived at work and went straight to my office. I didn't want to look around and feared that Serkan would want to apologize once again, but when I turned my gaze to the door of his office, I found Serkan staring at me from the doorway. He had a cute smile on his face and it didn't suit him. His gaze was languid too, another thing that didn't suit him. Then he called out to me." Giulia, come."He just commanded and I had to go, I hated it, but he was my boss. I walked into his office and stood in the middle of the room looking at him. " Close the door."As I turned around, I saw eyes from across the room watching me intently. Naturally, the company gossips wanted to know what the boss wanted with me. I closed the door and swallowed, dreading what he wanted to say. I slowly turned my body towards him."Giulia, I'm going to need one more job from you."I frowned without understanding." Extra service?"Wasn't it enough t
The Turkish CEO Temptation
Chapter 8TemptationSerkanEverything was perfect. Giulia had fallen for my lie. I was even a little uncomfortable lying to her like that, but I didn't have much choice, my parents were supposed to come and visit me and meet this made-up fiancée. What if they did? I had to get ahead of the disaster. I wouldn't marry Asli, it was out of the question. At first, I was in favor of it just to get them to agree and be satisfied with an approval, but the two families took it too far. Asli also took serious, so much so that they were choosing dresses for the ceremony. I couldn't let them go on with their matchmaking. I was in the land where everything is possible, with a thousand and one possibilities knocking on my door, including getting married late and if I wanted to. USA is a country of contrasts, but of freedoms. Nobody meddles in your life, nobody looks too closely at what you're doing, as they do in Turkey. I just wanted to live a little of that. To be freer. The big problem was that
