The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER FORTY NINE: Taking your chances now.
Fyodor swallowed the lump in his throat and clenched his fist. His heart rate was no doubt too fast and he felt like his heart might leap out of his ribcage. His palms, sweaty. He wondered how he was still able to clench his fist when the surfaces should be sliding over one another due to the lack of friction.In all honesty, he was nervous. He had never been this nervous all his life. He just hoped another rejection wouldn't be coming in contact with his wounded pride anytime soon. He definitely has feelings for Sophia and he showed it but Sophia's constant rejection was no easy feat. Her usual attitude towards him made him feel unwanted, he was surprised and elated to see her message. She had asked that they meet. Fyodor thanked his observant self the umpteenth time. Thank God he always checked the information of any unknown number that reached out to him and was giddy like a teenager to see details that matched Sophia's. Or details that he had taken time to learn of her.Sophia

"We went to a game house! God!! Fyodor is so flexible. He won so many games, especially sports related ones. I had so much fun"Sophia gushed as she cut the vegetables. "He was so much fun to be with. And girl! He's got the guts too. I just have to stick to his good sides and Mr Huggins will stay away from me forever! Mr Huggins respects him so much!""Awwwn", Angela cooed as she listened "Looks like someone's in love", she added as she worked the blender."No, no. Not in love. I just enjoy hanging out with him". Sophia tried to contain her smile and wore a serious look which only faded when another sweet memory crept into her head. Her time with Fyodor was fantastic, she only hoped that he would just breeze into her work place another time and take her to some fun place again. Again and again. Angela only shrugged and began to pack the bag. They had both planned to prepare lunch for her Tea and would soon be heading over. The two girls had no plans for their Saturday, so spending t
The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER FIFTY ONE: First time.
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT."Hmmm. Tell me what it's like?", Angela asked moonily as she leaned on Joseph's shoulder.After the first time he asked her to be his girlfriend-to which she politely refuted-they never talked about it but they had so many dates that Angela had lost count. They met almost every day, from sharing just a bottle of coke to seeing a movie together or just talking.Just like now, they were dangerously sitting next to each other on a bench and reveling in eachother's warmth as she listened to him talk about his past. Just small talk. But Angela felt herself falling more and more in love with Joseph.She's in love. She's in love with Joseph. Joseph had captured her heart and it was totally unfair that she could try to kiss him and he would respond absentmindedly. Because he's a man and men are very good at… not falling in love.Her lips lost her smile at once that even Joseph noticed."Did I say something wrong?" he asked, also losing his goo
The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER FIFTY TWO: Reporters have their own way.
"Good morning".Angela opened her eyes to look into Joseph's happy ones. She felt sore but a good kind of sore. She slept like a baby. Joseph sat very close with his chest naked as he watched her sleep and was happy that he was the first thing her gaze was settled on when she woke up. She's beautiful."Good morning", Angela whispered. Her cheeks tainted red with the memory of all her boldness last night. His broad chest on display, a contributing factor."You slept well", he stated.Angela smiled only shyly. "I made breakfast for you. Breakfast in bed", He beamed proudly. As he gave some space to show the tray on the table.Angela gasped. "Thank you so much". "I'll give you time to clean up", he gave her a peck on the cheek and took the exit.Angela walked into her bathroom to see her toothbrush already layered with toothpaste, waiting patiently for her to use. Joseph had prepared bathing water for her too. He was only trying to be polite. Angela knew this but she would try to bel

"Hey, wasn't expecting you", Angela smiled more to herself as she opened the door for Joseph. Guess she had hit a jackpot unknowingly today. Joseph would make sweet love to her today. She would make sure of it.Joseph fit into her outstretched arms and inhaled deeply. He gave her a kiss on the nose instead and closed the door."You coming from work?", she tried to start a conversation as she took the abandoned remote to change the TV station. Joseph still said nothing. He took off his jacket and hung it, his shoe followed suit."Joseph?" Angela sat on a love seat as she waited expectantly for Joseph to respond. Joseph joined her and gave her another peck on the cheek.He held her hand in his, looking into her eyes like he was looking into his whole world."Let's have sushi together. What do you think?"He just wanted to have her next to him and he didn't want to give her the impression that he only came around for sex."Okay", Angela nodded. She didn't know what thoughts were swim
The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR: When things begin to happen.
"Sophia! So nice of you to come", Omar greeted formally."So nice to have us here", she greeted formally as well, hand in hand with Fyodor's.He nodded awkwardly. A smile on Sophia's face looked weird, for it to be directed towards him made it even weirder. Omar turned to a child all of a sudden as he set his gaze on Angela. "Angie sweetie! You look so good!"This time, he respected himself and only went to hold her hand in his. With Joseph glaring by her side, he wouldn't be too surprised if the man threw their friendship into the mud and grabbed him by the collar.Besides, he couldn't afford to create a scene. It was his sister's engagement party afterall. He had to behave himself and be happy!"Thank you. You are not looking bad yourself", Angela commented with a little laugh. She felt somewhat comfortable around Joseph's friends now. "Follow me, there's one little Angel I want you to meet. Just like you, she's an Angel as well", he winked and took her hand in his to take her a
The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE: The kind hearted ones.
"Brother, she's here already", Ashan phoned Omar as soon as his sister presented herself. She was late again, it was hard to believe, even he couldn't believe it but his sister was late to his engagement party. It was always about her appearance, only that she had spent so much time looking for the right dress as she always believed. He was used to this but it offended him. Amal liked to look so good whenever it came down to attending occasions.His mother had been here since morning, even though the Asghars had promised to take care of all the finances to which they had done, his mother still helped in any way that she could. It was her son after all that was getting married and as a male he ought to be able to take care of some things even if he was poor compared to the Asghars.If not, how else was he supposed to care for such an expensive woman like his dear Nora. He knew that having Nora in his life was more than a blessing. He folded his hands in prayer and thanked his God once
The CEO'S syndrome CHAPTER FIFTY SIX: Her first visit.
"That's not the way to my house", Angela sounded amused when Joseph took a different turn. She turned to him for an explanation.Joseph tapped the steering as he teased, "Oh really?". Angela raised her eyebrow, with a smile of her own."That's a secret but it's going to be a long ride", he replied with a smirk on his face. Angela hummed and adjusted her seat to rest.Forty minutes later, Angela was greeted by the sight of a house that looked like one that came out of a magazine."We are here", Joseph announced when he had succeeded in parking his car inside the premises."Is this where you live?" "Yes""It's beautiful", she came out of the car and took in her surroundings."Thank you. Wait till you see the interior", Joseph responded proudly.It was no lie. The interior was so beautiful. Angela kept on touching and gasping as she admired everything about the house, the art around, the design. She looked and felt like a child in a candy store. "Woah, I love your house. I love it".
