Reject The CEO Decisively novel Chapter 2

"Miss Emily, you're very talented and with your degree, there are probably many multi national companies out there, willing to hire you. That's all I can say." He said abruptly and then left me standing there in the corridor.

He was right. I should start looking for a job as soon as possible, and should I submit a resignation letter on his behalf? No father would definitely get angry. Just what should I do? And what about the discharge, should I take him back home, or keep him here? I can handle a few medicines and meals right? Lilly's there too. No scratch that. She barely visits him here. What will happen if I take up a job? He'll be left alone at home. Should I hire a nurse?

All these questions were killing me.

I sat on the bench next to me, I felt really lonely at that moment. I really needed someone to comfort me and hear my problems. It was father in the past, but he needed my comfort now. Oh Lilly, why can't you be more concerned about your family?

I went back inside the room and held his hand. I watched him sleep. Only if we could switch places. I won't mind suffering in-place of him.

"Dad please, you must gain your health. Mom would hate seeing you in this condition. She would want you to recover, and see you happy. So please for her sake, you must get better." I said, my voice a bit strained.

I didn't even realize that I was crying, until I noticed a tear on my jeans.

"Oh Miss Emily, you're still here. Please you may take you leave now. I'll take the rest from here." The nurse said. Putting her bag down on the table next to father's bed. I wiped the tears off my face, glad she didn't notice. I really trusted her with dad. She was very loyal. I nodded and then took my leave.

I reached home, only to find it empty. Lilly was having an all nighter at her 'friend's' house to study, and I was 100% sure that it was a guy and what they were actually studying, well I don't even want to know.

I was really tired so I changed into my tank shirt and shorts and went to bed early that night. I was going to pay Henderson Corporation a visit, the first thing in the morning.

Adrian's POV

Why do I have to do all of this. It has almost been a week and he hasn't returned. Where the hell was Mr Boston? He was like a fatherly figure to me, and trustable. He was committed and devoted to his work unlike the girls I used to have as secretaries in the past. They were whores.

Ever since a few months, he has been spacing out a lot. I knew something was up, he wouldn't take a single day off without informing me.

As I was about to enter the elevator. I was met with a pair of familiar eyes. I couldn't really point out where I saw them, but I was sure I had seen them before. And boy was she hot. I couldn't take my eyes off her legs, that were clad in skinny jeans. Okay what the fuck is wrong with me, my eyes should get sued for this. Bad Adrian.

Who was she and what was she doing here? Ah, she was probably one of the girls I slept with. But she didn't seem like one of those sluts to me. Her face was void of any makeup, and she was wearing a loose cardigan on top of those jeans. She didn't seem to be dressed up to impress anyone, but she still looked gorgeous. She was looking around, when her eyes landed on me.

Shit, she caught me checking her out. I immediately cleared my throat and looked away, and went towards the elevator.

"Umm, excuse me, do you work here?" Her question left me shocked.

It did answer my previous question though. She was definitely not one of those sluts. Still how can she not recognize me. I may sound arrogant, but everyone knew me. Did she live under a rock? She seemed innocent to me, but I've met many girls who try to act innocent just to receive my attention. She had to be one of them. I didn't want to deal with another one of those so I just looked at her with a bored expression and folded my arms.

"Yes, I work here, but you already knew that very well." She gave me a confused look and was about to say something when I stopped her and continued, "Get to the main point. Is it money or sex that you want? And just to let you know, I don't owe anything to anyone."

She flinched at my tone, clearly not expecting that. But I wasn't in the mood to play her game. I had honestly gotten tired of girls giving themselves to me. She glared at me with such hate, that I instantly regretted my previous statement.
