BXBX NOVEL Chapter 20 - Adrian As New CEO
Emily informed her Assistant to call the three employees to her cabin. A few minutes later, two-person entered her cabin.
" I hope you know the person who is sitting in the chair." She asked them, looking at Adrian.
" Yes madam. He is Mr. Adrian Wilson, the most popular man who invented the modern car with less fuel consumption. " Jessica said, looking at Adrian.
" And also the most eligible handsome bachelor who has a huge fan following of girls…" David added.
" Mr. Williams… you always have more information about any person…" Emily said.
David smiled and said, " I think that I have to take it as a compliment".
" I think that I will get a good companion after you leave for North America, " Adrian laughed.
" He is Mr. David Williams, Finance department head. " Emily introduced him to Adrian in a professional tone.
" She is Miss. Jessica Miller, Marketing Head." Emily introduced her to Adrian.
" Nice to meet you, Sir " Jessica extended her hand to Adrian. Then Adrian also gave his hand.
" Where is Katherine? " Emily asked David and Jessica.
" Madam, she sent an email to you last night that she wants to take off, \'\' Emily\'s assistant informed her.
" Ohhh…"
" Adrian, you may remember a woman whom you met on the night of our engagement. She is our HR head, Katherine Davis. I think she is not well. You can meet her tomorrow when she comes. " Emily informed him.
Then Adrian confirmed that he was not confused that night as his mother said. She is the same person whom he loved deeply a few years back.
" Listen to me carefully, I am going away from this city for my work for a few months. I will be available for one more day. So I asked my fiance to look after this company. From today, he is the CEO of the company. I request you to cooperate and help him in my absence." Emily announced.
" I can spend my time with her handsome fiance. I can seduce him with my beauty. What a lucky chance?" Jessica thought in her mind.
She smiled inside looking at Adrian intensively. Adrian felt uncomfortable with her looks and turned away his eyes.
" That means you will be back after a few months?" Jessica asked her.
" Yes. That\'s why I asked you, people, to come to my cabin. You may leave now. " Emily said.
David and Jessica came out of the cabin whereas Jessica was walking towards the elevator thinking about Adrian. She was thinking about his muscular body and his attractive ocean blue eyes.
" What you are thinking in your mind is not right " all of a sudden David came towards her and informed her.
" What are you talking about?" Jessica asked innocently.
" Don\'t act smart. I know you as we have been colleagues for three years" David said angrily.
" What do you know about me? Huh?" She rudely questioned him.
" I know you think about yourself. You feel very proud of your beauty and want to trap the man you want. Before that, remember, he is the fiance of the CEO. Don\'t try your cheap tricks on him." David mumbled in Jessica\'s ears.
" No one can pretend the future, David." She replied, gritting her teeth.
" Whores like you never understand, what is the meaning of the relationship? You only want to fulfill the desires of your body" David said in a serious tone and left for his cabin.
" You are an emotional fool. That\'s why you cannot handle Katherine and impress her with your love. First, you mind your own business then you can advise me. What if Mr.Wilson is also my type? Huh?" She smiled wickedly and entered the elevator as the door opened.
" I think it\'s my mistake to meddle with her. That bitch never changes. " he thought in his mind and went to his cabin.
….
…
For a few hours, Emily explained about the clients and rivals of the company. She gave all the rights to him to make a decision. He wondered how can she ask him to decide without consulting her.
" Why do you trust me so much?" Adrian asked her.
" I believe in you as a person, as a friend, that you can never cheat anyone. " Emily said, placing her hands on his hands.
" Hope I will succeed in your belief in me," he said.
" You will," she said.
" Hope you also succeed in your work and return with good news" Adrian wished her.
" I hope the person like you who wishes with a pure heart will come true." Saying she hugged him.
" Don\'t worry, Em. Everything will be fine" he assured her.

….
After some time, Adrian went to his site as the manufacturing plant construction was going on. We discussed the changes with the engineer and went to his Villa. He found his mother sitting on the sofa and was waiting for him.
" Did you forget that I am going to our hometown?" Maria asked his son.
" Sorry. I was busy at work." He said and asked his driver to drop her safely at his hometown.
Before she was getting into the car, she asked him to take care of his health and take food at the right time.
He nodded at his head like an obedient son.
….
After his mother, he completed his bath and finished his dinner. He laid on the bed and was thinking about the HR head which Emily was talking about. He was feeling restless and at the same time, he was eager to meet that woman. He wants to clarify his confusion.
Slowly he drifted to sleep with his restless thoughts.
