“Ethan do you know them?" Flora asked. “No" Ethan said and was soon back to his cold self. “By the way where is your date?". he said as he tried to change the topic. Flora who didn’t think much forgot about what she asked and also looked behind her. “I’m as surprised as you are. He told me he is going to the…” And just before she could finish with her her words she broke into a smile. “Here he is “ Ethan looked at the man coming and had a simple impression of him. He was in a not-so-expensive suit and also has glasses on. He looked like an ordinary person when seen. As he came near ,Ethanrealized he looked pale. “What took you so long, I was so worried “ Flora said like she was chiding him but one could hear the affection in her voice. “Ethan this is Daniel. Daniel this is Ethan the one I told you about “ Flora introduced. Daniel quickly held put his hands for a hands shake as Ethan also did not hesitate and took his. “It’s great to finally meet you.

Chapter 33 Her sorrow

The Callous CEO/Ben

She was in a black short fluffy princess dress which had a round and silver neck. She also had a pair of silver five centimeters high sandals with thick heels.She had her hair in big waves. She looked like an enchanted fairy in a painting .And with her nude make up and simple necklace and earrings .She was as beautiful as anything else .Ethan was stunned for a while and even felt warm as he looked at her .The tears that were falling on her face were like little crystals.Ethan was dumbfounded as this was the first time he has seen someone like this .He was well aware of Daphne's beauty. It was calm and liked by anyone who sees her .One would think she is the most beautiful. But with this face before him, he was certain her beauty was unmatched like any other he has seen before .Just as Ethan was looking at her , Leona was also doing the same .With a glance she recognized him as the man she saw at the mall.Then she thought he looked handsome. But seeing him up close ,

Chapter 34 What mush she do?

The Callous CEO/Ben

Leona said nothing and just looked at him.“I still don't think there is anything wrong with my outfit. I can still sing with it,"Leona said calmly.Pan knew she was speaking the truth. But this was out of his control as he needed to get to do as the client said.But also knowing Leona’s personality, he knew she wouldn’t change her mind now that she was this determined.He would have to explain himself to the client as soon as he can to not create any further problems.As her manager, he knew the impact this one outfit would have on the career later if she ever gets to become famous.It would be a stain on her reputation forever.But there is also this possibility that since she has offended Mila, she would never get to do that.Also, he knew Leona was the one who made this dress.He knows about her talent in fashion. It was a shame that she was not interested in that and rather wanted to be in the industry.With that thought, he knew he had to make a decision.He decided to just l

Chapter 35 Her melodious voice

The Callous CEO/Ben

Leona walked to the stage and realized she was among very important people.Since she has never been to any award ceremony she was not used to crowds like this .But she calmed herself down and walked to the microphone in the middle of the stage and smiled at them.She saw their reaction as she got there but did not care .She knew her appearance would make guys fall in love with her at first sight and also make ladies jealous of her when they see her .If not why would she always be a victim of attacks from famous actresses whom she always substitutes for.Mila was a great example. Because of her jealousy toward her beauty, she decided to humiliate her .Little did she know that Leona wasn’t also to be messed with .She fought back when one tried to bring her down.She stood there as the crowd was staring at her long legs and pretty dress and she started singing .Hearing her melodious voice, all the guests were mesmerized by her and soon they all started dancing .Manager Lin, who br

Chapter 36 His date

The Callous CEO/Ben

Leona hurriedly left his embrace and smiled apologetically .She was done with her song, so she was about to leave but as he was about to do so, Ethan stopped her .“Is everything okay?"Seeing his cold look but warm eyes, she felt she can not just leave just like that .One of the staff came and took the microphone so she was free now .Looking at Ethan, she knew she might have made him worried with her answer .“I’m okay. Just that I shouldn’t be here,"She said and was about to leave again but he held her hands not leaving her .“I kind of need a date right now. Can you do me the honor?" he asked .Leona looked around her and wanted to see Pan but he was nowhere to be found .Thinking that she would reject it he added.“See it as you doing me a favor. I will return it one day."Hearing this Leona guessed she might really need his help.Looking at his charisma and expensive suit, he might really help her in her career.Call her selfish but as someone who has been disappointed

Chapter 37 Take care of your man

The Callous CEO/Ben

"Ethan."Ethan heard the one voice he hated the most now and turned around.Daphne with Tim, who was now very quiet, walked towards them.With her instinct, Leona knew that whatever Daphne was up to, it was no good.Looking at Ethan's face, which wasn't looking the best, she knew her gut feeling was right."You never told me you were reimbursed by the company too. Who would have thought?" Daphne said proudly as they got near them.Ethan was not happy to see her. He was in this mood because he was still in love with her, but the pain she and her parents caused him was something he would never forget. Looking at her, the anger he had been trying to suppress suddenly came back.Daphne was also looking at him. She realized that though he still wore glasses, his eyes had become clearer, and his face was smoother than a woman's. His clothes were also from an expensive brand. She observed that his bone structure was the same as before.She felt jealous seeing Leona by his side. She looked at

Chapter 38 They kissed

The Callous CEO/Ben

"That was a close one. I thought I wouldn't be able to keep up. Who does that proud hen even think she is? You aren't her maid nor are you still in a relationship with her. The audacity of her to speak to you in that tone, shit I’m so annoyed."Ethan watched as Leona vented her anger at what happened. He felt warmth in his heart as he listened to her talk.Leona realized she had spoken more than she should have. She saw the cold look on his face and thought he was angry that she was speaking against his ex like that.“I'm sorry," she said and looked away. She didn't want to have a problem with him as she didn't know much about him.“It's fine, and you are right," he said.His words made her look at him in shock, but she soon smiled as she looked at him. She knew he was a reasonable person.One look and one would know Daphne’s personality. She hated people who take advantage of others the most. She is a victim and she knows how it feels.“Well, it's good that you can see her true color
