Teach Me, Mr. CEO

Ember felt the chilled splash of the drink seeping into her clothes as she closed her eyes shut tight, shrinking within herself. She couldn't believe this was happening. She stood in the middle of the college canteen, trembling with shock and betrayal as the whole cafeteria laughed at her."Look at how delusional this bitch is, she really thought I would ever look at a girl like her," Will Thompson said, the guy Ember has spent all her life loving. His words made the cafeteria laugh twice as harder, making Amy step up. She was the one who had splashed the whole drink on Ember the moment she had walked closer to Will."Just look at how pathetic she looks, it's so funny!" Amy shoved Ember and she stumbled a few steps back. "Thank you for being so fucking dumb, nerd. You made Will win the bet."Something zapped in Ember's brain as she looked up, startled. Her mind went blank until she couldn't hear words but she could see Will and his friends laughing as they handed Will money. She just s

EMBEREmber felt herself waking up, her senses rushing back. As her eyes parted, she stared up at the ceiling of the unfamiliar room. She could also feel a sharp pain throbbing on her back, making her shiver. With all the strength she could gather, she sat up, the blanket falling off her body. She clutched it back up but only then did she realize, she wasn't naked. Her clothes were back on her perfectly. She rolled slightly to her side but she wasn't surprised to see it empty. She was all alone in that room. The room she spent last night doing things she would've never imagined doing. But he was gone. And then dawned the consequence of what she had done. When she looked to her side, the memories from last night reeling in front of her eyes back to back, she spotted something on the small bedside table. She pulled herself to the corner of the bed and picked up the envelope placed on the table. Carefully, she opened it and looked inside, her eyes widened.A bundle of dollar bills.Sh

EMBER"Calm down," he said. But did he have any idea what he was doing to her? "Take a deep breath."His tight grip around her body, his fingers brushing through her hair, and his warm breath against her skin. Her breath was caught, the tingles taking over her body. She felt her knees going weak so she clutched her hands tightly on his shirt and hung closer, her face turning to bury on his chest. She knew she was calming down. She couldn't even bear to look at him with her face burning red. Suddenly, the elevator thudded and a shrill noise played. It had cleared up, it wasn't stuck anymore. But before Ember could realize it, Zaire's grip loosened and he stepped back immediately, leaving her wanting his warmth back. He stood facing straight as he fixed his collar and grey suit. With just one run of his fingers through his hair, it was back to perfection, a single strand falling on his forehead majestically. She shook her head and positioned herself back to normal. Her mouth opened a

EMBER It felt like Ember had stepped into her apartment after years. The day had been so hectic and.. confusing that she had no idea what to think anymore.She freshened up and ordered some pizza, setting up the couch with blankets and two wine glasses on the table. Ruby Reinhard, her best friend of 5 years, lived right next to her apartment. They usually had movie nights like that.But today, Ember doubted there would be any movie, she needed to let out a lot of her mind.Ruby arrived half an hour later with some food and wine, wrapping her in a hug first thing. That was the first time Ember had felt at ease the whole day."Loosen up, idiot. Mommy's here to solve all your problems like a fucking genie," Ruby chuckled. She helped herself inside, plopping on the couch with her head on the armrest. "What would I ever do without you?" Ember poured themselves some wine and the night started. She talked a lot, rambling and whining, while Ruby listened. But then, for the first time that da

EMBER "Ms. Campbell has secured a position here. She will be working as my personal assistant from tomorrow onwards," Zaire announced. The announcement created chaos in the conference room. They looked at each other with surprise as Ember sat tight, staring holes into Zaire but he refused to meet her gaze. He nodded to himself, knowing he had started a ruckus. But everyone looked more concerned about Mary who stood in the corner of the room, dumbfounded."She had been his personal assistant for the last three years, she was replaced just like that?" Someone murmured. The others joined in the gossip as Ember scanned Mary's shocked and betrayed face. Mary was always a kind and friendly person around the company and she worked closely with the CEO. It was a tough job but she handled it flawlessly. To think that Zaire could just switch her place like that seemed very out of place.". Mary Maloney will be promoted to the position of Chief Coordinator, the head of that department. Dismiss
