Reject The CEO Decisively novel Chapter 19

Since you kissed her without her permission geni-ass.

You hate it when she mentions Lucas or when he mentions her. Why? It's not as if you guys are dating.

Just admit that you like her.

My inner thoughts were killing me. I was convinced that I actually liked her. "Fuck." I mumbled, causing her eyes to widen.

So I liked her. What now? Get over it. You don't deserve someone like her. Yeah well nowhere in hell was I ever going to admit something like that to a girl.

I sighed before responding. "Look Emily, you're right. We should forget that it ever happened. I probably kissed you because your lips looked really kissable at that time. That's all there is to it." She seemed really hurt by my words.

Really smooth brah.

Just get the heck outta here Adrian.

"Now if you'll excuse me. I have an appointment. And I'm already late." I said, glancing at my watch. "Good day." I muttered before stepping into the elevator.

I wish I didn't turn, because when I did, our eyes locked and I saw tears in her eyes.

And I was the cause of those tears.

I punched the surface on my right as soon as the door closed. I messed up big time. I probably led her on, only to tell her that I kissed her cause her lips seemed kissable? The hell? My life was really messed up. I called Lucas.

"Get my appointment cancelled." I said as soon as he picked up.

"Wh-"

"Just do it." And I immediately hung up.

I was in dire need of alcohol. A club sounded great at the moment.

I decided against heading to the club, so I headed straight home. Being the CEO sure has it's perks.

Arrogant asshole.

Just shut up for once inner thoughts!

I changed back Into my casual attire and dived into bed as soon as I entered my bedroom.

That douche bag. The smile vanished as soon at it appeared.

Damn it. I needed to go somewhere far away from her.

Or maybe I should just fire her. But that wouldn't be a just decision. She was doing her job fine. Better than fine in fact. So I decided against it. Maybe I should just set her up with that loser Lucas somehow.

I frowned at the possibility of the both of them dating. Not happening. I thought to myself.

The remaining solution was getting away from Emily for a couple of days or weeks even.

Besides I really needed a vacation. In fact I just had to go on one, since it had been a long while since I last visited another country for fun and not just a business venture, it was not because of Emily.

Or so, I tried to convince myself.

I decided to pay a to visit Beach luxury Island. It was one of the islands in California that I inherited after my father's death and I hadn't visited it since forever, so I decided to take a few days off and have the time of my life. No more thinking about Emily or New York. Only California and Californian girls.

But there was a problem. I knew I couldn't have Emily, I didn't deserve her but I sure as heck knew that I didn't want Lucas to have her either. Anyone but Lucas. If I left, Lucas would take that opportunity to claim her as his own and I would keep thinking about these two, my vacations would be ruined.
