TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO

Writer's POV

New York... 10:15am... Anna's apartment...!

Anna steps in a flick the lights on, she tossed her keys on the table... abandon her luggage in a corner and groan as she slumps onto a sofa. She released a long yawn and stretched her body.

Sean stretches a bottle of chilled water to her and she takes it with a small frown.

"Where did you get this?" She asked.

"From the fridge" he replies casually and points towards the fridge.

He slumps on a sofa opposite her and comb his fingers through his hair as he yawns tiredly.

*He looks like a cute little bunny as he yawns* she thought and smile.

She quickly wipes off the smile when she realizes something.

"Wait... aren't you supposed to go back home? Why are you following me about?"

"I wanna make sure you arrived safely at your apartment..." He looks around and frown.

Anna catches his expression and taps on the table to get his attention.

"Hey! What's with that expression?!"

"This apartment is so small.. how do you manage to cope here?"

She paused and thinks about. then rolled her eyeballs.

"Rich brat!" She mutters under her breath.

Though Sean heard her, he pretends like he didn't.

"This area is quite dangerous for a girl like you.. and the road to your apartment is also bumpy!"

"Well, this is what my money could afford" she replied.

"You can come live with me!" He suggests with a smile.

Anna returns the smile and moved closer to him... She grabs his cheeks and pulled them.

"I'm not Debby and you're not Andre.. that trick ain't gonna work on me!" She released his cheek and he rubs them gently with his palm.

"well, you can't blame a guy for trying"

She shakes her head and got up... She wanted to send Sean out, but thinking about how he's been helping her stay calm all these while.. she decides to let him stay for some time.

A stomach growled loudly... Anna turns to Sean. He simply smiles and blinks innocently.

"I guess I'm hungry"

"What do you wanna eat?" She asked before she could stop herself.

"I'll eat whatever you cook.. I'm not picky when it comes to food"

Anna nods and walk towards her kitchen.. she decides to cook whatever comes to her mind.

Debby's pov

I yawn sleepily in Andre's arms as he head upstairs to our room... our room?!

He look down at me and chuckles lightly.

"You're yawning as if you the pilot that flown the plane, Angel"

I hit his chest. "I worked more than the pilot!"

Having a hot.. wild sex with him is hard work too. It wasn't easy to keep up with him.

"Yeah..." He leans down and pecks my lips. "Thanks for a job well done!"

He opens the door and step in... he lays me on the bed.

"I'll be right back!" He said and rushed out.

I rest my back against the headboard and crossed my arms across my chest... and close my eyes.

I'm feeling sleepy, I haven't had a wink of sleep since Andre went all caveman on Lucas and I.

Andre rushed back in the room and drops a new.... phone?!

"Here! This is the phone I asked Phoebe to order... you can put your sim"

I picked it up and left my mouth hanging open.... I couldn't scream or speak... no reaction.

I throw my arms around him and showered his face with kisses.

"Thank you.. thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you... thank you..."

He pulls me back gently and chuckles. "Ok, ok... that's enough, Angel. I can't get use to this"

I jumped off the bed and rushed downstairs to the living room... well, you can say I limped down.

"Angel, be careful!" I heard Andre yell but I ignore him.

I search my luggage and take out my broken phone.. I quickly take out my sim and puts it on my new phone.

Immediately I turn it on.. it starts ringing.... it's a strange number.

If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you!

First I ignored it but it keeps ringing, so I answered.

"Hello?!"

"Miss Ryan?" A female voice asked.

The voice is not familiar which makes me frown.

"Who's asking?"

"This is Grant hospital.. we're trying to contact Mr Craig but couldn't get to him, you're on his emergency contact... so we decided to call you!"

Grant hospital? Is that where Lucas was admitted?

No, if he's admitted there.. why were they trying to contact him?

"Is everything ok?" I asked her.

"No.. we called to tell you that his mother's condition has worsen.. please inform him and tell him to come over as soon as possible!"

His mother? Lucas's mother is still alive? I thought he was an orphan.

Right... Anna and I know nothing about Lucas family. He never talks about his family with us... so we just assumed he's an orphan and doesn't wanna be sad.. thus avoid talking about his family. "Miss Ryan?"

"Angel?" Andre and the female called at the same time.

I turned around and Andre is standing behind me with worries expression.... I guess he's just mirroring my expectation.

"Ok, I heard you... I'll tell him" I whisper into the phone and ends the call.

I got up and smiled at Andre.

"Who was that on the phone?" He asked.

I bite my lower lip, looking for a legit lie to tell him.

You know I can't mention anything related to Lucas before him... or he might flip again.

"Oh.. that was Anna. She wants to see me.. she wants to treat me to a meal and apologise for what happened at the fashion cup!" I lied smoothly.

"Ok... I'll drop you off..."

"No! Don't bother!"

He narrowed his eyes.

"Why? Are you hiding something?"

"No... I just wanna go in a cab, besides you're going to the office and Anna's apartment is not on your way"

He stays silent and nods slowly.

"Well then, I should go get ready for work!"

I smiled and wave him off... he stares at me suspiciously, bit went upstairs anyway.

I'll go to that Grant hospital later after Andre went to his office... an check out what Lucas's mother's issue is all about.

Writer's POV

Thompson's residence...!

*Andre Knight finally announced who his real girlfriend is... which causes an uproar on the internet. Many people are asking if Olivia Thompson is actually sent by her.. Mr Thompson Timothy to approach Mr Knight for....* Thompson angrily turns off the TV.

"This is outrageous!" He growled. "I don't know what this girl wants!"

"She wants Andre.. can't you see that?" Mrs Chesterfield said.

"No... She wants to tarnish my reputation!"

Martha quietly watch from the dinning table where she's setting the table for breakfast.

Thompson turns to her. "Tell Olivia to come by my office when she gets back!"

Martha nods... Thompson angrily picks his jacket and head towards the door.

"Aren't you gonna have breakfast?" She asked.

"No! Bring lunch over to the office later!" Thompson said and leaves.. slamming the door on his way.

Mrs chesterfield gets up.

"I don't understand what kind of mother you are.. can't you help Olivia and save us all this embarrassment?"

Martha stares in confusion... She doesn't know what her mother-in-law meant.

"Speak with Andre!"

"Andre?! How? I can't force him to love Olivia"

"Have you tried... have you tried to contribute anything for Olivia's happiness? Oh, I forgot she's not your daughter... you wouldn't care!" Mrs chesterfield walks towards her room.

Martha sigh... she doesn't understand how her meeting with Andre will make him change his mind.
