Changing the CEO

Love

Monday

I am waiting for Nathan at his office. We are going to finish the presentation.
I look around. I never been in his office. His desk is cleaner than Luke's and it is made out of wood.
He has two photographs frames on it. One is his sister in her graduation attire and the other a pretty blonde lady. Is this his mom?
"Hey," the door opens. I turn around and see Nathan in a red suit. He walks over his desk and sits.
"Ready to finish?" he asks.
I nod. "Is that your mom?"
Nathan looks at the lady smiling. "Yeah."
"She looks nice," I say.
He smiles. "Thanks. Let's get to work."
....
Nathan invites me over for lunch. I ask him about Luke. He tells me he has the day off.
"Is everything okay with him?" he asks.
I sip on tea. "Yeah I think."
"I am surprised your still with him, however, he has change a bit,"
"How?"
Nathan smirks. "Less sex deprive and smiles more."
I chuckle and can't help to blush a bit. "Is that good?"
Nathan grins. "Of course. He is less of an asshole and tells me he loves me."
"What?"
Nathan chuckles. "He is more relax and fun around me. I missed that about him."
We finish eating and head back to work.
"So what is your mom's name?" I ask Nathan. We are waiting for the elevator.
"Karen Grayson," he smiles. "And your mom?"
"You know my mom,"
"I mean, how is she?"
The elevator opens and we step in. "Oh, she is better."
"Moms are not perfect Rose."
I turn to him. "Why do you say that?"
He looks down at me with a light smile. "You know why."
The door opens again and he steps out. "Bye Rose. It was a good lunch."
I sigh. In less than a minute I get to my office next to Daniel's.
I begin to work.
I continue to have Nathan's words in my head. Does he know about my mom? I haven't told Luke.
"Rosalie?" Daniel says. I was waiting for him in the lobby.
"Yeah?"
"Ready to go?"
I nod. He takes me home. It was a quiet ride but not as awkward as other times. I just start playing with the ring Luke gave me. When Daniel saw it, I told him Charlie gave it to me.
We arrive to my place.
"Rosalie, before you go, I need to say something."
"What?"
He turns to me. "I want to take you on vacation for spring break. I want us to know each other more."
"So it is not a question. It is more of a command?"
He nods. "Please."
I sigh. "I need to check with Shayla. If she has some days off during the week, I can ask her to switch days with me."
He nods. "Okay. Night." He begins to lean over. I kiss him for a second. "Bye."
I head to my place and open the door. Louie welcomes me and tells me his bowl is empty.
I pet him and feed him. "Miss you cat."
He ignores me and eats. I walk to my room and change into simple short pajamas.
My phone rings. It is Luke.
"Hey," he says.
"Hello,"
"I-I am outside."
I hang up and run to the door. Louie is already there meowing. I open it and he rubs himself against Luke's leg.
"Oh hey," Luke pets him and steps in.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
He sighs. I close the door.
"I missed you,"
I look at him. He is drunk. His eyes are red and watery. As I get closer, he smiles. "I love you."
What?

Daniel's Point of View

Rosalie kisses me goodnight. I see her walk into her apartment. I get my phone and begin to figure out who this Shayla is. I want to take Rosalie with me on vacation. We will need to relax before the real work comes. I will transform Gordon's. My uncle will be proud of me. I will get an extra money when he dies too. So double the win for me.
I spot a ring on the passenger seat. It is Rose's ring. It is the ring her brother gave her. I need to give it back before she panics.
I get it and walk to her place.
"Let me go!" I hear her yell as I approach her door. What the hell?
I open the door and see Luke shaking Rose. I run towards him and tackle him down. Rose screams to stop.
"Don't touch her!" I get his face.
"Let me go!" he yells.
"Daniel stop!"
I slap him hard before standing up. He stays down. He smells of alcohol. He is drunk. Rosalie looks down at him.
"Take him home Daniel," she whispers. Her voice is full of hurt. What happened?
She looks at me. "Please."
She doesn't look hurt physically.
I sigh. I get Luke's arm and stand him. He wobbles and is starting to fall asleep.
"We talk tomorrow," I say to her. She nods.
I drag Luke outside and into the car. He is snoring.
I dial my uncle. "Guess what your dear son did?"
"Don't tell me please. Just bring him home."
"You need to talk to him. He hurt my girlfriend."
"Rose?"
"Yes."
"I will."
We arrive to my place. I slap him and he wakes up. "Let's go!"
I help him get into the house. "W-what hap-" he burps, "happened?"
I push him to the couch. "Sleep it off. Shut up."
"W-why?"
"Why were you at Rosalie's place?"
He sits correctly. "I-I love her."
I crunch my hands into fists.
"Shut up, you will sleep and leave in the morning."
I go to my room. What the fuck is happening? Why did he say he loves Rosalie?
