Mr CEO (3)

The thunders played their annoying yet relaxing sounds continuously. The rain was terribly heavy, lightning flashed well enough.

With all this actions going on outside, inside was quite opposite in everyway.

Mr Fred was still in the mood of thinking, Janice was eavesdropping in different conversations, Jace..... Eating and drinking delicious food.

However, Lydia was dumbfounded after hearing what this man just said. It was like she had entered the worst nightmare that doesn't end.

"hmmmm, what???," she repeated again, "What?".

"Lydia, it's rare and also somehow impossible for me to love someone, but I think that was charged immediately I saw you" his cold eyes changed into caring ones, making Lydia tremble.

"How? Why? How? Why?," she kept on asking him with confusion washing her soul, "I'm just an ordinary adult living a normal life... How on Earth did your love fall on me, Me!?".

He didn't answer, rather moved away from her. His eyes fixed on the glass window.....

"you are... different in many ways... And also annoyingly strange!, I can't answer that question on why I fell in love with you" his tone changed cold over and over again. On the other hand, Lydia's brain however was processing just one word.....

'RUN'

"Mr Ivan you know fully well if this relationship of a thing starts, it can't function well!. You are a business man who owns the greatest company ever and I'm just a normal person who works in a bakery", she placed a string of hair which fell loose behind her ears, "you can't know what love feels, because you are cold and emotionless, I don't know if you love me!"

Mr Ivan's eyes shot blood red, truly the CEO have love issues, but still Lydia was supposed to mutter the word which flew uncontrollably from her mouth.

"What do you just spill" he was shaking in anger and felt like kicking his love in the face. Lydia felt like a mouse facing a Lion with nowhere to run, she just said what was going on in her head openly.

"....." words were lost, she was absolutely speechless, and begged to the heavens for this moment to pass away.

He couldn't hold it again, it was burning deeply in his heart...

"Lydia I love you! Can't you see, even if it has just been few months I've known you and this is the only way I can talk to you Lydia, My heart beats for you in way I can't stop, I tried to stop this feeling but it became worse. Why do I love you? Why do I feel for you?," he clutched his fist with anger boiling deep in his veins all of a sudden, "you stole my heart, now the consequences is coming".

Three things played in Lydia's head again.....

One, this man is rumoured to be a Mafia boss in his past.

Two, his reputation is worldwide, his name is among the best.

Three, the cold CEO just confessed his emotions before her.

THE CEO!!!.

Mr Ivan's phone rang suddenly. Immediately he deviated his eyes to check the number... Lydia disappeared.

Narrowing his eyes, Mr Ivan knew fully well when she left.

Meanwhile...

"this is purely enough, I didn't ask him how he entered my house, but that is for another day!" Lydia ran towards the party room.

Holding her phone tightly, she dialed Mr Fred, Janice and Jace number, all at once.

"Mr Fred, Jace, Janice, I'm going home now".

"You know it's terribly heavily raining outside" Jace gulped on a bottle of condensed milk

"he's right," Janice said with eyes surveying the entire mansion, "I can't imagine we have to wait!"

"but... but" Lydia looked for words to say....

"but what?" Mr Fred asked, fully speaking.

"there's a serious odd incident which just occurred not quite long..... I'll tell you about it when we meet" Lydia told them before abruptly ending the call.

Sitting down on the golden chair closeby, she drank a glass of water and bent her head to relax, wishing to never come in the first place.

The opening theme sound woke a sleeping Lydia up. Of course it was a gathering not a party.

Mr Ivan stepped on the podium, his stunning face was filled with coldness.

"We are here to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our company, producing more than a billion dollars in the few days and also breaking the record..." Lydia noticed a thing when he was saying those words, his eyes were on her, Just her.

The boring speech made her yawn slightly.

"Lydia!"

she turned backwards upon hearing her name. It was Jace and he wasn't alone. Janice and Mr Fred followed also.

"guys, you finally came..... how did you all find me at the same time?" Lydia asked

"well, we've got our means..... now let's get out from this place" Mr Fred whispered making her curious.

"but...," she soon noticed it wasn't raining again, "okay let's get going!".

Before Lydia left, she made sure the CEO wasn't looking at her. With that, they all zoom outside.

The butler was curious about why they all just left when the gathering haven't really started. But, he say a word....

"so, did you find your secret admirer?" Janice asked Lydia as they headed towards the car.

"sure....." she replied awkwardly

"is he rich?" that was the first word which came out of Mr Fred's mouth.

"of course, a billionaire..." she replied again still awkwardly

"cool! who's he?" Jace was eager to hear what Lydia was about to say. Everyone was, it was again like dèjá vu.

"I don't know if I should say this, because the man is cold, scary, odd....." she looked at her co-workers who were her friends and majorly her boss, Mr Fred nervously, But they all smiled with ears ready to hear.

"He's...."

"we don't like waiting, SPILL IT NOW!!!" Janice spoke softly, but still too eager.

"THE CEO, MR IVAN". Lydia screamed waiting for their reaction....

Jace passed out.

Janice soul went to Hawaii.

Mr Fred ironically went bankrupt.
