Hello, CEO! Don’t Play With Me!

[75]



Seconds passed, days changed, weeks rolled by, and months also kept going until without Giselle realizing it, two years had passed. Maybe it’s because she’s so busy, maybe it’s because she has so many schedules to do for SEO. Especially two friends who became familiar labeled as friends in Giselle’s life, coloring what is her step now.

“Sula is scheduled to fly to Milan today,” Brina said without taking her eyes off the tablet containing Giselle’s schedule. For this photo shoot, Brina accompanied her. Usually, Brina was more often by Ruby’s side. Brina’s help for Ruby, who is still very new to the modeling world, is indeed very helpful.

But it’s also lucky for Giselle that she can be a little lax about what she eats in between shoots. Although Giselle knows that Brina’s assistant is just as annoying as that woman.

“Definitely with Richard,” Giselle said with a laugh. She munched on the apple slices Brina had brought her to keep her company on the way to Great Asia. For the next three days, Giselle was there. She had an important banquet to attend as the SEO representative.

It didn’t matter, as long as Justin paid him a high price and he had all the things he wanted in his apartment, he would do whatever Justin asked. Besides, she couldn’t bear to interrupt Justin’s fun with Ruby. Even though she’s eager to interrupt Sula and Richard who, totally unexpectedly, have been in a relationship for a long time.

Ursula Lacome, a model with fiery red hair, often scantily clad and a sharp but seductive look in her eyes. She was the girl Justin found when he was eating alone at a fast food restaurant. If you remember their first meeting, both Giselle and Harvey couldn’t stop laughing. They couldn’t believe how Justin could meet someone like Sula.

Although Giselle admits, what Sula does for SEO is total. She doesn’t even hesitate to leave her house, defy anyone who gets in the way of what she wants, and her stubbornness is the same as Giselle’s. Which Giselle thought, Sula was arrogant and haughty. Unapproachable and aloof.

Unfortunately, that assumption was broken when Sula showed a spoiled and childish nature. Harvey said, “It’s like I found a cute bunny who is ready to become a crazy monster if disturbed. If it was just one, maybe I wouldn’t complain. But this? My life is full of ferocious bunnies!”

Suddenly, that remark made Giselle and Sula laugh.

“Justin, I think you should find another person for us. Someone we can confide in and grow up with. I can’t believe this absurd Giselle can continue to act normal,” Harvey added with a pained look on his face.

Know what Justin said in response?

“Don’t worry, I’ve found the right person. Aside from his maturity that can make you feel at ease, he’s also I’m sure very compatible with Lavender.”

Giselle laughed, Sula could only shake her head in wonder, while Harvey squealed with delight.

And not long ago, the figure of Ruby Maeve appeared, which surprised Giselle. because that woman also diverted a lot of attention and Justin’s gaze was full of love. It was different when Justin was with her. Giselle admits, Harvey also agrees with her, even Sula, who already has a partner, realizes that Justin is a very responsible man. Loving. Always caring for almost everyone in SEO. Provides the safest and most comfortable protection that almost all of them don’t complain about.

However… the man was unreachable.

Therefore, when Justin had determined and set his heart on who to be with, everyone supported him. Including Giselle, although there is still a sense of unwillingness. But for the sake of Justin and Ruby’s happiness, Giselle would not stand in the way. In fact, she will be the first shield for anyone who wants to see them destroyed. Even Harvey and Sula.

“I guess they’re working on the target.” Brina chuckled. She put her tablet back in her bag. let out a long sigh and leaned back comfortably. The trip to the hotel where they were staying temporarily took an hour. The location of the shoot was also quite far from the city center. But the banquet they were to attend was in the city. For that reason, Brina’s choice of a hotel located in the center could be the most suitable alternative for them.

“What target?” Giselle was still enjoying her apple. “You only brought this one place?” she stared at the few remaining pieces of apple. “I still want it.”

“You need to eat carbs, Giselle. Justin told me to make you gain a little weight.”

“I eat regularly, really.” Giselle looked at Brina intently. her eyes highlighted honesty because that was what she did. she realized that being busy was unavoidable but she could not neglect eating. Not only as an obligation to the body, but Giselle did not want to make people at SEO bothered by it. Especially her friends who would definitely not stay silent if she fell ill.

Especially Ruby.

“But Justin won’t be wrong in his judgment. I don’t think my eyes can be deceived if you’ve lost a bit of weight.”

Giselle paused. “I guess it’s because I’m busy at the boutique. You know, I’ve got a lot of orders coming in that need to be completed.”

“You are still a pillar of SEO. You have to do what is your duty. I know it sounds selfish, but I think you realize Justin’s role in your life.”

Giselle smiled faintly. her eyes did not highlight annoyance or anger. “I see. Okay, I’ll try to eat more.”

“Did… you leave the chocolate behind during your busy day?” asked Brina cautiously. Although a long time had passed, the memory of chocolate and Andrew, the man whose whereabouts were unclear until this moment. Not a single news about him appeared on social media. Even the person who had last heard of Anderw had lost track of him. Also continuing her happy life; Fanny and her husband are happy because Fanny is pregnant.

Giselle was happy about the news but tried to conceal that she still wanted to know, did Andrew show up in Fanny’s life? Apparently not. It all really went by the wayside.

“Me? Break away from chocolate?” Giselle burst into laughter. “You’re weird. Chocolate is my life. Just so you know, as long as you’re with Ruby, I’m free to enjoy chocolate. Although I realize, the portions are not as generous as before. Anyway, I find Ruby’s chocolate the most delicious. I don’t know why her hands are so good at mixing chocolate.”

Brina laughed along. “Thank goodness.”

“You don’t have to worry about me too much. I’m fine. I’m getting better by the day. You know, I feel like my life is perfect these days. I’m grateful to be where I am now.”

Brina glanced at Giselle who was smiling widely. the look in her eyes was no longer sad because her heart had really been broken by Justin. And there was no longer a worried tone every time she thought about Andrew. Although the girl didn’t want to admit it, but Brina knew, deep down Giselle had a lot of worries for Andrew.

Giselle is just too hypocritical a woman.

Never mind, that was his heart’s business. What was clear was that now, the next three days would be as busy as what he was used to with the SEO models.

“Are you sure you can do it yourself?” asked Brina with an incredulous look. “I’d rather buy it for you.”

But Giselle shook her head firmly. “You’ve been too tired all day. Besides, what I bought is private, right?”

Brina chuckled in disbelief. “You’re not usually so mature. You’re usually happy to let me go down to the supermarket to buy sanitary napkins for you,” she said with a sneer. But Giselle was still Giselle, who would never admit to acting childish like that.

“You just rest. I also want to breathe the fresh air outside.”

“Be careful. You have to behave yourself while out especially since we don’t know if there are paparazzi following you around.”

“Yes-yes-yes, I will remember this warning of yours.”

If it was like this, there was nothing Brina could do but let the girl go. After all, it was only to the supermarket not far from the hotel where they were staying. She was too tired to follow Giselle even if she wanted to. It was true what the girl said, she needed to rest because her legs were a little sore due to her heavy luggage.

Meanwhile, Giselle was happy to enjoy the less crowded streets. The night air was cold but also pleasant to enjoy with a cup of hot chocolate. It looks like the choice of buying a cup of hot chocolate and sitting on the park bench to the west of the hotel was not a bad choice.

So that’s what he did after buying his groceries. She doesn’t really care if people stare at her with awkward smiles. Giselle responded with a cheerful smile so that no one would label her an arrogant super model. Around her were several guards who seemed to be on guard in the park area. This means that the place she chose for her mini mala is quite safe. If anyone acted strangely or disturbed her, she could immediately shout for help.

“Um… the sky is beautiful,” he said, looking up. The moon and stars were glittering up there, adding to the vibrant September night sky.

“Although the sky tonight is beautiful, but to me… you are still the most beautiful star.”

Giselle was stunned. Her hot chocolate cup fell and almost hit the toe of her sandal. Fortunately, it didn’t hit her foot. She felt like swearing violently at the man or stranger who was suddenly standing near her. wearing a closed hoodie and…Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Andrew?”

The man smiled slightly. “Long time no see, Giselle.”
