Teach Me, Mr. CEO The boss's torture
EMBERShe completely froze. He had lifted her easily and was holding her up to his eye level, waiting for her to do her thing but her eyes never moved away from his face. She felt like holding his gaze would somehow undo everything that was the reality."Are you gonna do it?" He said with a low voice and she immediately snapped out of it. Her hands rose to his hair and her fingers entangled in them, slowly combing it back. She slicked his hair back to perfection and looked back into his eyes who was already staring at her. Then only did he put her down.Ember backed off to look at him and it was perfect. He looked like the Zaire Langston Hughes the world knew, polished and gleaming."Mr. Langston? We are waiting for you," she receptionist chimed in through the door with a smile. Zaire nodded and glanced at Ember one more time."You can still go home," he proposed but Ember rolled her eyes at his uncountable attempt to drive her away. She hadn't lost the determination.. yet."No way, I'

EMBER"We.. who told you you can get a servant to do things for you?" He said, making his words come crashing down on her."But sir, I was just-", Will attempted to somehow calm him down but they all knew it was of no use. Zaire just shot him an amused look with a smile of disbelief."And who told you to help her disobey my orders? It seems like you don't really like this job of yours, don't you, Mr. Thompson?" He continued, making her repeatedly provoked to feel worse and worse about it. Ember knew that him helping her would lead him directly into trouble."I had no such intentions to-""It's alright! He'll leave," Ember said, stern, walking up to Zaire and lowering her voice so that only he gets to hear what she has to say. "He doesn't deserve this treatment. He doesn't have to be a part of whatever game you're playing with me.""Why? Has he already become so important to you that you're ready to take his blame?" His eyebrows shot up in a mocking way. Ember found it obnoxious, the wa
Teach Me, Mr. CEO CEO's Reign of Terror
EMBER"I am Mr Langston's assistant...", Ember said, already expecting the worst. A small tricky smile appeared on his lips."If you're my assistant it should be clear where you are getting the orders from, isn't it?" He said, making it a point that everyone knows where exactly she was. Everyone looked over to find out where she stood. "You're not taking part, you're my assistant.""But I.. I want to participate. I'm an employee too, I should get this opportunity, don't you think?" She said, loud and clear. She knew it would just attract more attention than she needed but it was already done. And then she noticed his eyebrow shot up, it was just how he reacts when he was challenged."The whole auditorium heard the last word about this topic, how could you not? You won't be a part, is that clear?" He said, completely shutting her down. "Yes sir," she said because she knew it would be nothing but a waste of time and self humiliation if she spoke further. Her head was down, the disappoin
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Unfinished Business
EMBERShe watched them kiss and when they parted, they looked at each other. She was saying something and he was saying something, his mood did not look like it was bad at all. He looked like a completely different person.Ember felt the pangs in her chest at how easily his mood can lift just by her sight. And it felt guilty to be jealous because she had no rights to do that. Neither was he obligated to keep her in mind. She looked down at her feet.She had to wrap her head around the fact that he was actually dating someone and that was the truth. After this, no matter how much he confused her, it shouldn't affect her even the least because she would take it.To save herself from the spiral he was pushing her further into, she needed to stop letting it get to her. It was the best for her. She needed to go back to focusing on what she actually wanted.That's when she watched Selene get back into the car and Zaire followed. Ember walked towards the car before it could drive off to know
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Drunk lies
ZAIRE"Sir, just one question sir! Please, sir!""What's the actual reason you are agreesing to collab with the Iris group? Even after that huge public scandal?" "Mr Langston, is it because of Ms Selene Hudson? Was that the reason?""Is there still any bad blood between you and Mr Prescott?"The questions were bold and the answers to them will be even bolder. But some things should be better left unsaid. They did not need to know that even before the dispute, the bad blood or the scandal, there was a friendship. A friendship that was lost just like that, in an instance.Just because Travis Prescott never trusted Zaire Langston Hughes the way he thought.Zaire stepped into his house at last. It had been a long day and the press only drained the life out of him. The things they said were intrusive, they got to him sometimes. And today was one of those days when those words made him walk down the memory lane.He sighed as he placed himself on the armchair, squeezing his temples and clos
Teach Me, Mr. CEO Another Love, Another mistake
ZAIREThe room was empty, Ember was nowhere. He took a good look around the room and even the washroom but she wasn't there. He ran a hand through his hair and strode out of the room.He looked around a little, not calling out her name yet. He listened carefully to hear some cluttering noises from the kitchen. He made his way towards the kitchen with soft steps, and he peeked inside to see Ember nibbling around the corner of the kitchen."You should go to sleep. Don't make this harder for me, Ember," he said, making his way towards her as she turned to him. Her eyes were welled with tears and she was sobbing. He felt taken aback but also like he can't do anything about it. Just looking at her made it impossible for him to make decisions or be the judge of his character."You are still tormenting me! I'm being a burden to you, right? GOOD. Because that was the intention," her pleading voice turned into rage, her voice rising as she paced up towards him and glared at him with teary eyes.
Teach Me, Mr. CEO The Story Wasn't Over
EMBERSelene's infuriated stare made literal shivers run down her body. She was already holding on to the railing for support when she noticed Zaire's rather calm expression. He held Selene back by holding her hand that distracted her a little from literally murdering Ember.But everything was too much for Ember. The way he was staring at her to calm Selene down as well as how she had held him when Ember saw them. They were a couple. And Ember was only the obstacle in their way even if Zaire had shown so many signs that said otherwise.Last night was slowly clearing up in her mind. He had kissed her back too just like her without any manipulation this time. By his own will. But even so, the hurtful words he had said next had made everything crystal clear.Run, her mind yelled at her, get away from this mess."Why is she here? Huh? This girl.. in your clothes.. in this state? What is she doing here?" Selene was getting progressively angrier and even though Zaire squeezed her hands a lit

EMBERZaire Langston Hughes.He stood outside the door, his eyes locked at her for a few seconds before realising she was all dressed up. He looked taken aback. Her mouth parted but she couldn't say a word. She noticed an equally shocked Ruby coming towards them to probably say a thing or two to Zaire but she wouldn't want that at all. Ember held up her hand and that stopped Ruby, making her back off and walk back into her room.Ember looked back at Zaire, still looking just as dejected."I didn't realise-"Silence. But he tried again."You need to come with me. I have a sudden scheduled meeting so.. I came to pick you up," he said, making Ember force herself to not let her mind go to places that would only prove her delusional further. She had to make use of all the self reflection she did."I can't come. I have something important I need to attend too," she said, firmly. A frown clouded on his face immediately like he was someone who couldn't take rejection well."It.. won't take lo
