The CEO’S Acting Girlfriend 19
I tried to control my anger because I figured out that it wouldn't be good for me. He had to decide what we wanted. It was funny how we were not even dating yet we were having issues like a real couple. He wasn't speaking to me and I extended the same energy to him, I took a shower and lay on the bed patiently waiting to see if he would try to make amends. Was this what Ava had to deal with? He seemed emotionally unavailable and I wondered how he expected the relationship to work out. Anyway, he wasn't mine, I needed to remind myself of that every time but it wasn't easy I shut my eyes when I heard the shower stop running. I knew what his abs looked like, yummy! I didn't dare turn when he walked into the room." I know you're not sleeping." He said.Was he trying to start a conversation with me? If yes, I wasn't in the mood for one right now, we could talk about it later." Scoot over, I need to sleep." He tried again and I rolled my eyes, the bed was wide enough to contain both of

" No, I don't understand." " Oh, what do you think is missing? Like what area do you think there's a lack..." I trailed off in the perfect confused tone. He shrugged, I didn't think he knew, " Well, if I knew that I wouldn't be asking would I?" He replied and I didn't say anything. He just confirmed my thoughts." I'll be here to help you with whatever information you need," I stroked his hand. He didn't understand what was going on and I felt pity for him. He shook his head and we stayed in silence for a very long time before he spoke, " What do you love doing?" He asked.Okay, that was so random, why was he asking me that question? I wondered, "As in my hobby?" I asked as I seized that opportunity to go through the file I was given, what was Ava's preference, I didn't need to be far from the truth. " Could be career-wise," he said.Ava was a designer, I didn't befit the status of a designer, and he would easily catch that I was lying. So I coughed, " Uh... I love singing and ac

Bella's POV" Yeah, I just need to step out for a minute. I'll be going to the hospital soon." I replied. I pretended as though everything was okay with me when in reality, I was tingling inside of me.It wasn't as if I hadn't seen a man's genitals but they weren't up close. Get a grip on yourself, Bella.' I chided myself and finally made sure that I was not thinking of any other thing. " You look nice." He threw the compliment and I smiled. I was not expecting him to say that to me, but it was very welcomed. " Thank you." U grinned inwardly as I picked up my bag. " Aren't you going to eat breakfast anymore?" I inquired while staring at him.He shrugged, " I have an urgent meeting with the head of departments." he replied, " But we can make it dinner if you're not too tired later." He suggested.That was considerate of him, ' I should probably open a restaurant since you like my meals very much." I said and he snorted."That's a good dream, go for it," He encouraged and I looked at

' I'm sorry to announce to you that he fell into a stroke again, and we discovered that one of his kidneys is not functioning properly." "That wouldn't have been an issue, but we discovered that the second one is perforated. Thus, he would be needing a transplant as soon as possible." He said as he wrote something on the chart. My eyes were filled with tears at the doctor's words. It was hard to believe that a day like this would come when my father would be unable to move his limbs at will.He who was very energetic, and never waited for anyone to help him in his life was suddenly bedridden, which means that he needed extra care. Also, with the issue of very vital organs failing him, I couldn't imagine how he would be feeling right now, the kind of pain he must be going through too. It would be so hard for him to see others walking while he couldn't. " I thought he was getting better..." I replied in a shaky voice and the doctor nodded." Me too. But I think it's good that we di

" Yeah, I'll call you back." Luke said and hung up the phone call. I stared at him with a questioning look. My brows drew in confusion, " When did both of you become friends?" I asked him. They were never close so pardon my disbelief whenever I see them talking to each other as though they were paddies." I've told you before, we finally decided to put aside our differences and see how this goes, I thought you'd be happy about it." He said."To the extent of calling her?" I asked him. I was not enjoying their camaraderie." Yes, to the extent of calling her, do you have a problem with that?" He replied, and stared at me before bursting into laughter, " oh my God. Don't tell me that you are thinking that something might be going on between both of us, are you?" He replied. " Scratch that, don't answer the question. I am so shocked by your assumption." He said in a bewildered tone.I rolled my eyes at his theatrics, " There's no need for you to be too dramatic about it. I have the ri

" Hey, have you left the house?" I asked Bella." Yeah." " Did you get the dress I sent to you?" I asked her and she chuckled." Yes, you have nothing to worry about, I'll try my best to look lovely for you...I mean for the investors, we don't want you losing such a huge contract." My brows jumped slightly, " How do you know that it's a huge contract." She chuckled again, her lovely voice tickling my ear. I had never met someone with such a melodious laughter, " You've been stressing about thing too much, I could almost turn back." She said.Was I making her scared?" So, what now? Are you no longer coming?" I inquired in my most nonchalant tone.She chuckled again, " I can't renege on my promise, moreover this is a big win for you, I should support you shouldn't I?" She asked me.Did she seriously expect me to answer that question. Of course, I wanted her to come support me. Infact, she was playing a major role in making sure that I land that contract."I'll be waiting for you dow

Bella's POVI was shocked instantly as he announced me as his fiancee. I never had any idea when I suddenly became his fiancee. I guess he was probably doing all that just to feel along with the other men in the gathering."Come on Bella, you should order something. Don't you think so?" Avery asks and sends for the waiter. "Can I have the menu, please? My baby wants to order a very nice and tasty meal."Baby? Did he just call me that or was I obviously fantasizing in my head? I was still dealing with the shock of him calling me his fiancee and now he goes ahead to address me as his woman. Is this some sort of joke?I waved my hand dismissively to the waiter, indicating that I was not hungry, but before I knew it, the waiter had already left and returned with a plate of my favorite meal. "Here's your order madam." The waiter mumbled and walked away with the menu still in her hands.I threw a second glance at the meal and then at Avery who was still very busy doing justice to his meal.

Avery's POV"Wasn't that what you have always wished for? Can you swear an oath that you didn't feel honored when you heard me refer to you as my fiancee? Come on, come off that crap! We both know you have been praying for this." I flared up, avoiding eye contact with her.I didn't know what else to say to her, instead I tried to cover up everything and try to make it look like she was the one at fault. She had been the same person pestering me all these while to make everything going on between us formal, which I tried to do in the meeting. Why then was she acting up all of a sudden, as if she was no longer interested to be referred to as my fiancee?Before she could say anything else, I walked out of her sight and went downstairs to phone my friend, Luke, because I could literally no longer bear the heat she had just ignited."Hey man, why have you called me this late? Is everything alright with you? How was your outing with your woman?" He fired questions endlessly from the other e
