TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO

Writer's POV

Andre's office....!

"Any other appointments for today?"

"No, Mr Knight!" Phoebe replies.

She arranges all the files Andre just finished signing in the shelf alphabetically.

Andre lays back on his chair and massage his forehead softly.

"Mr Knight, Chloe's secretary called.. she said the location for your meeting with Chloe tomorrow was changed last minute" she reports. Andre simply hums as he's already too tired to speak.

"You're meeting at GLAMOROUS LIFE hotel.. the time is 4pm"

Andre stops massaging his forehead and quickly sits up.. frown lines on his forehead and he pass Phoebe a questioning look. "Hotel?!"

She nods... his frown deepens and he wonders why Chloe changed their meeting place at the last minute... and to a hotel.

"Call her and cancel the meeting.. I don't meet my clients in a hotel, tell her to make reservations in a restaurant now!"

"I'm afraid she won't agree"

"And why is that?!"

Phoebe turns away from the shelf and faces Andre.... though she's done arranging the files.

"I already told her secretary to make reservations in a restaurant but she refused... she said it's not convenient for Chloe to make an appearance publicly recently" "Why is it not convenient?" He asked.

But Phoebe didn't reply as she doesn't know the reason.

"I'm not going! Call her secretary and cancel the meeting!"

He doesn't understand why they have to meet in a hotel when it's just business they're gonna talk about.

"I'm afraid we can't cancel the meeting, Mr Knight"

"Why can't we?"

Phoebe sighed.

"Chloe got a very tight schedule which makes it hard to have an appointment with her... now that she's finally attending to us, we can't waste this opportunity" Andre thinks about it for a while... It's true that Chloe have a very busy schedule.

They've been trying to contact her for such a long time... now that they finally succeed in getting her, they shouldn't waste the opportunity.

After all she's very important to their coming project... Andre sighs.

"Fine! I'll go.. leave!"

Phoebe nods with a small smile and head towards the door... Just as she steps out, Andre's phone beep.

He reaches for it and saw a message from Anna.. he quickly opens the message.

*Please come to ELSA.. Debby's drunk!* The text reads.

*My Angel is drunk? I thought she was meeting someone about her mother's information* he thought.

But he sprints out of his chair... reach for his car keys and head out.

He met Phoebe by the way and stops.

"Mr Knight, are you going somewhere?"

"Yes.. I'm gonna pick my girl"

"Are you coming back?"

He look at the time from his phone... 5:45pm.

"No! I'm done for today.. you can call the cleaners to clean my office now!"

"Yes, sir!"

She excuses Andre and he walks out.

******

Thompson's residence....!

Martha walks into the living room and throws her small hand bag on the table.

She rests her head back and breaths softly.

Suddenly, she hears someone clapping from behind her.. she turns and sees Olivia.

"Olivia... You're here" she smiles warmly at Olivia.

Olivia scoffs and sits on the sofa opposite her... She crosses her right leg over the left.

"Where are you coming from?"

"I went met up with a friend"

Olivia scoffed loudly again and shakes her head.

"You met with a friend? Or your daughter?"

Martha's eyes grew wide as she heard these words... She finds it difficult to breathe.

She's surprised that what she's successfully hide very well for years... Olivia knows it now.

Never in her widest dream has she dreamt of this day.

"H-how.. how did you find out?"

"How I found out doesn't matter.. what matters is what grandma will do if she finds out!" She said with a smirk. Martha shakes her head as many possibilities of what Mrs Chesterfield would do came into her head.

"No, Olivia, don't tell your grandma.. please*

"I shouldn't tell grandma?" Martha nods. "So that you can sneak to visit your daughter next time?"

"No! I have nothing to do with her.. she's not my daughter"

"Oh?"

"She stopped being my daughter years ago.. you are the only daughter I have now!"

Olivia reach for a tangerine on the table and begin to peel it.

"If you have nothing to do with her.. why then did you sneak out to see her?"

"I did it for you.. I went to convince her to leave Andre..."

Olivia paused and stares at her.

"You want me to believe that?"

"Yes! I'm telling you the truth.. I told her to leave Andre, that's all we talked about.. please don't tell your grandma about this"

Olivia stays silent for a brief moment.

"Did you succeed in convincing her?"

Martha shakes her in disappointedly.

"No, but I will continue approaching until she changes her mind.. just don't tell your grandma, I'm begging you!"

Olivia got up and walk to and fro in front of Martha.

"If your grandma gets to know about my past, she'll surely throw me out of the house.. I have nowhere to go to if she throws me out!"

Olivia still doesn't say anything.

"Please, think about your brother.. I can't leave him alone, he's still too young.. please Olivia"

"Fine! I can keep this from grandma... but first you'll promise me something"

"What? Just say it, I'll do anything.. anything to make you keep my secret!" She said desperately.

Olivia smirks.

"You'll offer your help when I need it later!"

"Yes! Yes!" Martha agrees without hesitation.

"I already have a big plan for tomorrow.. so just wait for later orders!"

Olivia's smirks grow wider.. then she walks off.

Martha slumps back onto the sofa and closed her eyes exhaling heavily.

*I didn't see this day coming!* She thought.

*

At the bar...!

"Ok, that's enough!"

Anna snatches the bottle of beer from Debby... Debby fights her to get it back.

"Give it back!"

"No, this is your sixth bottle... are you trying to commit suicide?" Anna scolds her.

Debby giggles mockingly and shakes her head. She reached for another bottle and shakes but found out it's empty.

"Debs, I haven't seen you drink this much.. why did you rebel today?"

She faces Anna with her red eyes... tears brimmed her eyes but she fights to hold them back.

"Is it a crime?" She asked.

Anna who doesn't have any clue what she's saying stares at her in confusion.

"Is what a crime?" Anna asked back.

"Is being poor a crime? Is it a disgrace?"

Anna stays silent and tries to stop Debby from getting the beer.

"Why did she leave me? Why is she defending her?! Why does she hate me so much?! What did I ever do to her?!"

She couldn't stop the tears that rushes down her cheeks... her already red face became even redder from crying. "Debs, what are you saying? Who defend who?"

Debby released a dry laugh.

"I was just 6years old! I was only a child... why the hell did she abandoned me?!" She cries more.

That's when Anna realizes she is talking about her mother... she pulls Debby in her arms and hugs her... gently patting her head.

"I wasn't a bad child... I was good, why did she leave?"

"Why are you suddenly talking about your Mom? Did you two meet?"

Debby nods.

"What happened between you?"

"She hates me! She hates me! She really hates me...."

Anna sighs... she shakes her head. *She's not in her right sense, I can't talk to her about anything now!*

She looks at her wrist watch.

"Why isn't Andre here yet.. I need to go back to the hospital to accompany Lucas" she said aloud.

Debby pulls away from her at the mention of Andre's name... she look around as if she's looking for someone.

"Don't call Andre.. don't call him. He's a psychopath... he'll look down on me... he'll leave me too... don't tell him.. don't call him here..." She hiccups.

She gets up and walk... more like staggering... towards the exit, Anna got up and rushes after her.

She stops when she sees Debby bumped into someone... she tries to pull Debby away but was surprised as arms wrapped around Debby's waist.

She raised her head ready to scold whoever it is... but shuts her mouth when she noticed it's actually Andre.

"Thank God.. you're finally here!"

Andre looks at Debby's face and frown.

"What happened? What got her this drunk?" He asked.

Anna points towards the counter they were sitting.... Andre's frown deepens at the numbers of empty bottles he saw.

"Shit! What happened?"

"I don't know.. but I think it's related to her mother" Anna replies.

"Her mother?!"

"Yeah... I guess they met, she didn't tell you?"

"She did"

Debby struggle to get away from him but his grip on her is so tight... she couldn't get away.

"Let go of me... you rapist!" She growled.

"Rapist?" He questioned himself rhetorically.

"Let go of me or I'll call my boyfriend to beat you up!" She threatened.

Anna rolls her eyes.

"Debs, he's your boyfriend... he's Andre!"

"No! He's not... this is an imposter!" She yells.

Andre laughs at that statement but turns to Anna.

"Why did you let her drink so much and get herself drunk?"

"She was already drunk when I came" she replies.

Debby grabs his cheeks and pinches hard on them... she giggles and pulls them.

"Angel? Let go!" He growls.

She ignores him.

"Hey! You listen up!" She paused. "Just a little warning... my boyfriend is a psycho... path... better let go of me now... or he'll beat you to pulp..." She burped. "Let go of me before he gets here... or I won't beg him for you... I'll watch him beat you.."

"Angel.. it's me Andre, I'm your boyfriend" Andre tells her.

She paused and stared at his face closely.

"You're my boyfriend?"

Andre nods.

She released his cheeks and held his face in her hands.... she studies his face closely and smile brightly.

"You're my boyfriend... you're Andre!" She giggles overly loud.

"Yes.. I'm Andre! Let's go home!"

"No!" She pouts her lips and tilts her head... "Kiss me first! Kiss me! Kiss me!"

She closes her eyes waiting for Andre's lips... Andre sees how serious Debby is, so he went for a brief kiss but Debby pulls him in for more.

He tries to gently break the kiss but Debby wasn't getting any of that.

He calls Anna for help but she simply shrug and laughs... then she heads towards the cashier to settle the bills.

Debby suddenly stops.. but Andre wasn't quick enough to pull away... Debby vomited all over him and he grimace. "Bloody hell.. Angel, I'm not gonna let you get drunk ever again!"

She laughs weakly and slumps on his arms... her head rest on his shoulder.

"Angel, don't tell me you're fucking asleep!"

No response.

"You're fucking asleep!" He states.

Anna comes back and couldn't hold back her laughter when she sees the scene.

"Wow! She's so cute!" She mocks Andre.

Andre frowns at Anna and gestures towards Debby.

"Nah... she's your property now, I gotta go!" She didn't wait for Andre's reply... She quickly rushed out.

Andre carries Debby bridal style and look down at her.

"You're so gonna pay for this when you wake up!"
