C.E.O x C.E.O

Author's Note

Congrats, you've reached the end.

Hi, I'm Bait, and so I've proven with this story that I'm not just some edgy teenager who reads smutty fanfics all day. I'm actually an edgy adult who reads smutty fanfics all day.

On a more serious note though, I intended this story to be a stupid, satire counterpart to a lot of C.E.O stories. A mockumentary of sorts. I intended it to play out like a weird Netflix romcom that everyone shits on, one that makes fun of the tropes typically found in the secretary and C.E.O dynamic. And honestly... I don't think I accomplished that all too well, because for some reason my massive brain thought it was a good idea to sprinkle in a little bit of 𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓶𝓹𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓶𝓾𝓻𝓭𝓮𝓻.

The only part of this story that can even be considered remotely serious is Maximilian Hart's character. And you saw how much of a joke he is. I meant for him to come off as your average cartoony villain. I just consider his theme a tiny bit serious because miraculously: Yes, those kinds of people actually do exist.

(Also, I need to clarify that no, I don't hate C.E.O stories and think all of them are bad. I just wanted to make fun of Fifty Shades of Grey.)

A bit of backstory, this story is also heavily inspired by a dumb conversation I had with my dumb best friend at three in the fucking morning. We were talking about a book revolving around a manipulative C.E.O falling for his newly recruited secretary, and my friend wallowed in pain for the entire reading duration.

He randomly started blurting out stuff like, "What if they're best friends instead of lovers?" and "What if the C.E.O is in love with another C.E.O?" and "What if we make it gay? You can't go wrong with the gays." and "What would the public think about their relationship?" Until he managed to form an entire plotline.

Thus, the birth of this story, and it turned out to be really fun to write. Albeit dumb, but fun! And that's really all we were trying to accomplish when making it. Something dumb and fun, not inherently cohesive and it doesn't have to make sense either. But of course, it's completely fine if you didn't think it was fun. To each their own :)

Feedback and criticism is welcome. Tell me what you think.

Thank you, and see you around.

P.S: The wedding went on without a hitch. No attempted murders or assassinations in sight.

P.P.S: Katherine was James' best man.
