《The CEO》Chapter 8 -So mysterious
Advertisement
I waited for him to get back to work....because I heard from his assistant,Mr williams that he had gone for a meeting outside the company....
It was already past 3 in the afternoon and he wasn't back yet....I really couldn't concentrate on my work...I just kept pacing back and forth my desk ignoring Jasmine's stare...
"Who are you waiting for....you look tensed up"she asked as she watched me pace back and forth.
"That's non of your business, just continue with what you were doing" I replied without looking at her direction, I just kept biting my fingernails.
"Looks like the person you have been waiting for has arrived" she sighed.
As usual, she knew me better than anyone else, mr rogers had arrived and he went straight to his office, I went after him.
"Can we talk"i said as soon as I entered his office...He gestured politely for mr williams to leave his office and I closed the door behind him as soon as he left
"You are already talking"He replied as he kept arranging the files on his desk without looking at me.
"What are you up to" I asked
"What are you talking about?"
"Not too long ago you made my life almost miserable, accused me of being a slut even when I was trying my possible best to pay what I owed, you made me run all your errands and all of a sudden I heard that you paid mr donald money, not even for the damages of his car but you gave him money to buy a new car and told him to stop bothering me, you were also the one that helped me when I fainted." I made a dramatic pause as I kept hovering round his office while he kept arranging his table..."are you some sort of psychopath" I asked dramatically with my arms folded across my chest

" That's the best you could come up with....a psychopath huh?"he replied as he slammed the documents against the table making me flinch by the sound.
" You called me a slut so what's so wrong about calling you a psychopath ?"
"You seem to be getting bolder everyday...you even talk back to me now" he said as he kept moving closer to me. I felt uncomfortable and kept moving back trying to keep my distance.
" why a-re y-ou c-oming closer" I stuttered as I kept moving back.
"Well i am a psychopath and this is what psychopaths do"....He kept moving closer to me. The distance between us was so close that I could hardly breath....
" I r-eally need to go now" I finally said as I ran out of his office
Phew...I sighed as I got out of the office after closing the door behind me
"What was that for" I whispered as I held tightly unto my chest....my heart was raising fast.
I had a lot of work to do so I was sure I would be the last person to leave work that day. I had finished my work late and was about to check the offices to ensure everywhere was locked, it was compulsory for the last person who was to leave the office to check the other departments and offices if they were locked and kept in order, although we had security we still had to take extra precautions.
I stood up and started checking all the offices when I heard someone sobbing... I wasn't sure where it was coming from but it seemed like it was coming from the CEO's office ..
But why would someone be sobbing in the CEO's office??. I went into the office even if I sincerely doubted that it could be coming from his office...to my greatest surprise it was Mr rogers that was sobbing..

I really didn't know what kind of problem could make someone of his calliber cry secretly in his office....
"Mr rogers are you alright" I said as I rushed over to him, he was sitting on his chair silently sobbing.
He just pulled me by my waist and hugged me tightly, his head was laying on my tommy and I could feel his tears wet my shirt...he really looked like someone who needed a comfort zone. That was the first time I would feel bad for him... I just kept on patting his back even though I had no idea what was going on. There was this kind of mystery around him that I couldn't figure out.

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)
