The Cheap & Dupe CEO CHAPTER 30
At Evelyn’s home.When her mother returned home in the evening, she noticed Evelyn was in bed, which was quite unusual. She wasn’t the type to sleep during day time or even during the evenings. She was a one-time sleeper and so generally slept only once, for a prolonged time during the night.Naturally, her mother came up to her bed and checked the temperature. “The fever still hasn’t died down?”Her voice woke Evelyn up.“I’m sorry. Did I wake you up?” her mother patted Evelyn’s shoulder. “Just sleep. Don’t go to work tomorrow. If the fever persists, we’ll go to the hospital.”It was silent in the room.Her mother was also tired. She used to work in a bar until she got pregnant. After Evelyn turned five, she began giving driving lessons to whoever needed it. Back in those days, it used to be much more hectic and time consuming to find customers. Nowadays, however, her work had become a lot easier because of the much improved online facilities. Whoever wanted to learn booked their tim

“He refused,” Sandra said on the phone. “I found him after he ran away twice. I even touched his tricep, bicep, and butt to tempt him, and it looked like it was working, but when I asked him to buy me a nice pair of clothes, he started acting weird. In the end, he didn’t buy me a thing.”It wasn’t that Sandra was poor; she had millions sitting in her bank account, but she liked getting men to buy her things. It was probably a woman’s thing.“So, are you giving up?” asked Reena, who was on the other side of the call.“Hell no. You know giving up is what I hate the most after growing up,” she said. “Just wait and watch, I’ll follow him and get my reward before the rooster crows!”“I wish you good luck,” Reena said. “Don’t forget to tell him that I asked for the 100 grand.” She was a celebrity, so she couldn’t just roam outside like Sandra could. Otherwise, she herself would have come to deal with Adam long ago.“I will if everything goes my way,” she said and ended the call. Her vehicle

The bottle fell.The noise wasn’t loud enough to bring Eric out of his intense fucking mode, but Natasha heard it. And it came from her seven o’clock. Though she turned her head and noticed someone leaving, she couldn’t see them clearly because of the extra large solar panels blocking her view.“Young Master! Someone’s here!” she tried to wrestle her way out. However, the more she resisted, the more he grew violent. He pulled her butt closer and began spanking her ass cheeks left and right while continuing to thrust himself in and out of her pussy. As the cold breeze swept against her body and tickled her nipples, he supplied warmth into her through his steaming hot dick. She had sex a few times, but none this intense, wet, and wild. Soon, he unloaded all of his warm, sticky lust juices inside of her. He was finished, but her body still trembled uncontrollably for a few seconds.It was a prideful moment for Eric, having made Natasha climax twice, and moreover, seeing her blasted out o

It had been a strange day for Adam.Not only did he see something he shouldn’t on the rooftop, he made Evelyn skip coming to the office because she had fallen sick.As if that wasn’t enough, because of the stir Ron was causing, an emergency board meeting was arranged. Most of the board members roasted Adam for not being competitive enough and told him to watch Ron and learn.What had Ron done?He not only bought off some schools and colleges, but he also already set up 5G infrastructure everywhere, even in the toilets. Moreover, all the staff were given bonuses, and some staff members from Conreid Lore shifted sides. This was what got the board members so riled up.“While you were fooling around the past week or so, he was showing you how to be a CEO,” Joseph bluntly said. He was also a board member after all. “It’s still not too late, so have our strategy department think of some plans to fight against the Ferver Lore.”Ferver Lore was an imitation of Conreid Lore, and Ron blatantly

Paintings were put up for exhibition in Ducksbelly, with minimum bids on each of them. One painting after another was being auctioned when Irene and Adam walked in.While Irene’s eyes lit up after noticing some beautiful paintings, Adam noticed that their seats were occupied by Ron and Penelope.Seeing his ex-lover, he wanted to turn around and leave, but she was smiling so happily, having just bought a painting for $31,250. Her smile was still as refreshing, and it made him sad, given how things ended up between them.“Can I buy that painting?” Irene pointed at a forest painting and asked Adam. “Please?”She looked cute while requesting, but she had no idea that he didn’t have the money in his account to pay for the painting.“I-I forgot to bring my debit card,” said Adam, confidently.“What?” Irene’s face turned Ashen. “Wait, what about your checkbook?”Adam quickly showed his wounded right hand. “Can’t sign a check any time soon.”“How about mobile banking?”“What’s that?”“Huh?”“

“Hello, Diane… It’s me, Adam.”“Huh, Third Brother?” Diane sounded surprised. “You haven’t contacted me through mobile in years. What made you do so now?”“Can you credit 100 grand into my account?” Adam was looking at his debit card. He actually had the card with him all the time, even though he had told Irene he forgot it at the office.“H-Hundred grand?” Diane stuttered a bit. “Why?”“There’s this painting Irene wants to buy. She’s currently bidding, so…”“Oh, but, Brother…” Diane hesitantly spoke, “you know we just shopped last evening. Willian and Milani bought a lot of stuff, so my budget is tight right now. I can’t arrange 100 grand, but I’ll give you 10 grand. How about it?”“T-Ten grand?” Adam didn’t know what to say. From the sales report Eric showed him less than an hour ago, he could tell Diane must be having millions in each of her bank accounts. Yet, she was playing dumb right now. “Alright. Thanks.” It wasn’t easy to thank her, despite knowing she was lying. Still, she

“Did you read the news?”“Why?”“Reena Ashley bought a pet koala. Social media is going crazy over it.”“Why would they go crazy if she bought a koala for a pet?”“That’s because she named it Coinman.”“What?”“Yeah, everyone thinks she has some crush on the superhero Coinman.”“Does that mean the shady image we saw a couple of days ago was really our CEO Adam?”As the employees were busy chatting, Evelyn entered the hall and straight away didn’t like what she saw. “Stop chatting and get to work.”“We still have a minute before it becomes nine o’clock, ma’am.”However, she silently peered at them, and they stopped chatting and got to work.She had a lot of work scheduled for Adam just for today, so she checked his office. “He isn’t here yet?”At Conreid mansion.Adam was taking his time to dress up because Natasha wasn’t there to help him since the morning. She had quit the job.The maids had been murmuring, saying that Adam was probably responsible for it. This wasn’t the first time

Adam and Evelyn took the train to the farmer she had spoken to a few days back.Evelyn looked relaxed.“Why do you look so happy?” he asked.“I came to this Conreid Center School a few days back, and all the staff members were worried sick that I would scold them or suspend them. They kept following me and made my job a lot harder. But today, nobody recognized us. Just wearing wigs and using masks did the trick! I’ll be using this every time I want my work get done quickly!”“So they were afraid of you even though you don’t hold the power to suspend them, huh.”“Yeah, I can still complain about them to you, can’t I? They fear that, and that’s where their respect comes from.”“Still, I think they do respect you for your post. It’s not easy to be a CEO’s secretary, right? You’re successful, and they know your words have weight.”“I don’t consider myself all that successful though,” she replied. “I’m yet to fulfill my first big dream, and then I have to find the right man. Besides, I fel

“If you were really a beggar, then what happened? How did you change yourself?” the beggar curiously asked Adam. “Did you rob a bank or something?”“No, it was a stroke of luck,” Adam replied. “I’m still taking that test. If I don’t pass it, I might end up as a beggar one day again.”“I wish that luck visits me as well,” the beggar said.“Don’t worry, Brother,” Adam saw that this beggar had a bent leg, which didn’t allow him to walk properly. He took out his checkbook from his suit and signed it for 5000 dollars. “It’s not much, but this is all I can give you right now. You better not use it for drugs, or the next time I see you, I will beat your ass.”“I will spend this very carefully,” the beggar quickly said. “But I don’t think the bank guards will allow me to enter the bank if I go in these dirty clothes. I have to buy new clothes.”Adam then took his suit out and gave it to the beggar who felt more touched by this gesture. It brought tears to the beggar’s eyes.“Nobody has been t

Both Evelyn and Adam had gone to Sterling villa and talked with the producer, Jacob sterling.They were expecting him to look cool and grand. He was indeed a big, handsome fellow despite his age being in sixties, but he looked to be under great stress because of his movie being released incorrectly.“From behind the scenes, someone messed with me on purpose,” Jacob told them. “I know you’ve come here to get solid information from me, but I can’t guarantee you anything right now because all the people I took money from to produce the film are grabbing my throats right now. I have to pay them hundreds of millions in interest. So, until I clear all that, I won’t be able to release the film. Even if I do release it, will the people come to the theaters again?”“They will, sir,” Evelyn told him. “All your past movies were blockbusters. There was not an average film, so I think people will understand that some mistake happened this time and will definitely make many people come to the theate

Adam and Evelyn came to a restaurant. It was mid noon at the time. Both of them were sweaty and hungry. Evelyn first ordered some drinks to quench her thirst, and then she told the waiters to wait for fifteen minutes before prepping their meals because she just drank a lot of water. This gave both of them fifteen minutes of breathing space. Evelyn still couldn’t forget burying the beggar, and she also didn’t understand why Adam would go to such lengths. “If you don’t mind me asking, did you meet that beggar in the past? I mean, did he stop in front of your car at some traffic signal and then ask for some money?” “No, this is my first time seeing him,” Adam replied in a calm but slightly knowing, heavy voice. “But this isn’t the first time I have seen beggars die overnight. During winters, some of them freeze to death on the streets. Some have their toes and legs frozen overnight that they have to get amputated afterward.” “What?” Evelyn covered her mouth in shock. “You sound like

As Adam approached the scene, the crows reluctantly flew away to the nearby posts and rooftops but still very much kept their eyes on him. There were at least twenty-odd of these black little things.Adam stopped and looked at the old man lying lifelessly on the sidewalk. There was no life in his eyes, which were half closed, and the black plastic bag beside him was open, with many items on the ground, suggesting that someone searched the bag for valuables.Evelyn joined Adam but was not able to see the old man’s corpse. She stood behind Adam. “Did he die? The beggar?”“He’s been dead for hours,” Adam said, his voice deep and concealing the pain and sadness swelling in him.“Let’s call the ambulance,” Evelyn said. “They are going to take care of him.”Adam, however, picked the old man up with both of his arms. He was not that heavy because he was very thin. His body had already hardened and was not bending at all. It looked like Adam was carrying a pole instead.“W-What are you doing,

Evelyn came home that evening and jumped onto the bed. She hugged her pillow and tried to be calm. However, she couldn’t help but think about Jim. He was without a doubt the most handsome man she had seen. He was not just tall and handsome but had a really good sense of humor and a voice that was very good on the ears. “Though it started off bad, by the time it ended, my impression about him changed very much. It’s rare to find bachelors like him, but the issue was that I’m not sure if he’s interested in me or not. How do I find out? Should I call him first? Or should I wait for him to call me? What if he doesn’t call me? How long should I wait? One day? Two days? Three days?” Seconds passed. “This isn’t helping. I’ll be patient for a few days and see if he calls me,” Evelyn thought. “If he does call me, it means he’s interested in me. If he calls me much later, then he’s not interested in me and is only trying to use me.” She kept thinking about him and ended up sleeping without

Even though Adam lost all the money he invested, a total of ten million dollars, he didn’t feel too bad right now because he spent the night with Reena, and they didn’t have sex but were watching romantic movies all night. After watching the movies till sunrise, when both their bodies and souls were fully craving for love, Reena still managed to hold herself well.“I will sleep in my bed,” Reena said. “You can sleep in the other room. That’s good for both of us.” She wanted to prove to him she could control herself well if wanted to.However, Adam grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace and began to kiss her everywhere on her face except the lips. “S-Stop, Adam,” she said in a trembling voice, but there was a hint of thrill in her voice. While almost every man she had sex with before lustfully kissed her on the lips, what Adam did now was a first for her. He was gentle, yet the pressure from his lips sent vibrations all over her body and to the depths of her soul. It felt so

CHAPTER 90
Reena and Adam rushed out of the theater, and Evelyn just happened to see them while talking with the contractors on her mobile. On top of that, it started raining. “He’s unbelievable,” Evelyn gritted her teeth. “I was a fool to think he’s changed.” Adam and Reena entered a car that surely wasn’t Adam’s, and they hurriedly drove away. Evelyn ran to Adam’s car, only to then realize that she didn’t have the keys. “Ugh, dammit!” she ran back into the theater. She kept walking to and fro, hoping that the rain would be gone soon, but it only grew intense with every passing second. Evelyn didn’t even feel like talking to the contractors right now. She quickly called Adam, but he didn’t answer. She angrily smiled. “Of course. I was a fool to even call you, thinking you might answer. A leopard can never change its spots.” She was hoping for a Best Day Ever if the movie were to become a hit, but that didn’t happen. The saying ‘when it rains, it pours’ came to her mind. She didn’t go back

CHAPTER 89
The El Man movie produced by the famous Jacob Sterling and acted by many top actors just released today.This was the movie that Adam and Evelyn put a lot of hopes on because they invested into the catering businesses across the city. If the movie were to succeed, they would earn multiple times of profit. If the movie were to become an average hit, they wouldn’t lose any money. Since the producer had a record of making every single one of his movies a blockbuster hit, Adam and Evelyn were fully confident in this movie, which was also the movie with the highest budget of all time.Both Evelyn and Adam went to the theater, but to their shock, Reena was there. She got a seat right next to Adam.With Evelyn on one side, and then Reena rubbing her foot from the other side, Adam almost went crazy. If Evelyn were to notice, what would she think? He surreptitiously glanced at Reena, trying to tell her to stop acting childish, but she seemed to be having fun from putting Adam in a tough spot.

Saying Crawford was the crappiest board member would be an understatement. The only person he feared was Parul, but after Parul fell sick, Crawford had taken sides. He didn’t like Brendon because Brendon was too smart, whereas Eric was relatively easier to control.Crawford considered Adam to be too irresponsible to even spare a second for him. So, Crawford rarely ever spoke to Adam before.Adam went to his office.Crawford was an abnormally tall guy with great-looking hair despite his age. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he looked a few years younger just because of his hairstyle.“Mr. Crawford,” Adam humbly greeted Jonas Crawford. “It’s a pleasant surprise to see you here. To what do we owe this pleasure? Is your family doing great?” He purposely tried to speak a bit too much to make himself look friendly.“What’s there to talk about my family? I just got my 13th divorce,” Jonas sighed. Even though he shook hands with Adam, he didn’t get up from the seat, which showed Ada
