Mr. CEO // c.h //

Chapter 5

Elle chocked her non-alcoholic drink and she looked really serious. I should say to you that I never saw her with so much panic like now. "Do they tell that?" She asked, after calming down.

"Yes. Well, at least it was what Michael told me a few days ago. But why? Are you okay or...?" I said, sounding a little bit preoccupied and being totally honest with her.

"What more had he told you? I mean, he already told you that Calum is back, so he's going to tell you all my professional information?!" She said, raising slightly her voice, but being careful to not get some odd looks from the people that were in the same restaurant.

"What is the big deal, Elle? Everybody knows it. Why are you acting so mad?" I answered her, changing my voice tone.

"It's just the fact that I want to be the President. I've been working so much and doing my best in this to gain what is destinated for me. That charge is made for me, you understand?" She replied. She just doesn't want to look weak. She wants to be stronger than anyone, so every people can admire her and will certainly give her support. "But stupid Calum is in the way, he is the Vice President, he is the perfect image for our boss, Ricky. I took the oportunity while Calum was in a trip to show him what I can truly be. You say that everyone needs to follow their dream or dreams and that's what I want and what I am doing. I have always loved working in big companies and always loved the power than any person does."

What she said truly made me feel for her. As I told you before, Elle was the typical image of the 'bad girl' in movies. So, it was normal for her and for everyone who knows her to hear what her dream was. She always got what she wanted and she thinks that she will get this power. Let's just hope that someday her dream will change. Don't get me wrong, I really love her, but don't you think that what she wants would definetly "harm" somebody?

“I understand, Elle. Let's wait for the future, yeah?" I grabbed her hand and gave it a little squeeze.

“Okay. And thank you. I couldn't ask for any other best friend than you." She laughed and hugged me, almost breaking all of my bones.

“You're crashing me..." I said.

Weekend went by so fast and as soon as I woke up this morning, there was that mutual hate between me and Mondays. I don't want to work and Monday loves to be hated .

After taking shower for 30 or more minutes, I dressed my usual outfit which contains of a black tight high waisted pencil skirt and a beige shirt along with my black blazer.

Right now, I am having a Kit Kat Break with Elle, Luke, Ashton and Michael. After meeting my best friend at a good restaurant last Saturday, I went home and tried to rest a little. But the truth is: Michael didn't let me. He just dragged me from my cozy house to some bar to have fun and drink, but I wanted to stay sober, just in case something happened. And... he told me his story and Elle's side I didn't know about.

Apparently, all the boys moved to London like a year ago or something, the time that they met Elle Rossi, the blonde, the princess and the dream girl of all the men. Okay, I need to stop saying that she is perfect. She worked at our Company for a couple of years and, as a coincidence, Ricky was looking for more workers. They were all graduated in factions that were needed in the company, so they took the opportunity and have been working since then in the same job. Elle kind of get promoted back then and Calum too, which caused her some, not jealousy, but a feeling similar to that one, and wanted to be Vice-President just to make Cal and the rest of the boys frightened. But that have never happened. She just wants to be powerful, and she lied when she told me her dream. Guess best friends don't tell always the truth...

"Ath... Ath... Ath." Someone shook me. "I mean... World calls Athena?"

"What? " I said and looked to the green eyes. "I'm sorry, Mikey. I snapped out, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." He laughed. "I just said that Ricky invited all of us to the Welcoming Dinner for Calum. Are you going?" He said, leaning against the cabinet right next to me.

"I...Yeah, I'm going." I smiled. "But I will go by myself, thanks. Where is it?"

"I'll send you the address after work." He answered and went back to his work. And me being me, I went after him and did the same.

It was 07:30 p.m. and I was a little bit late than what I wanted to be. The drive will definitely take me 15-20 minutes and the dinner starts at eight o'clock and something. Elle insisted to drive me there, but I decided to go alone along my car that I haven't seen in ages. I wanted to think about my life, meaning my best friend. And I wanted to be relaxed just to make a good impression.

When I arrived, the park at the front of the house and around the neighbourhood was completely full and I had to park my car a little bit far from my destination. But I didn't mind to walk, in fact it felt good to get some air before anything happened inside that house and during dinner. 

What I'm saying next may sound a little weird, but as I was walking to the house, I kind of felt somebody touching my bare back, but I ignored. I felt it a second time and that was the time I turned around and...

"Hello, I haven't seen you around here. What's your name?" The boy smiled. I should say that I found him really attractive... and that smile, may had provoke some girls' sigh.

"Yeah, I have worked in the Company for a week or so now. I'm Athena Miller. Nice to meet you." I said, through a smile.

"Nice to meet you too. I'm Calum Hood." He said, showing me his hand.

Cliffhanger, Readers.

I love doing this to you.

I want you to know that I had fun writing this to you, after seeing that you read my note and understood my part, I think.

Hope you enjoy this chapter. By the way, imagine Calum dressed in the same way as the photo! :) and Happy Reading.

Love, Ana.
