The CEO’s Substitute Lover

“Ha ha, Eldwin, look how well this Eddison talks.” Elda thought that Octavia Gills was really lucky to meet someone good in every way, and Elda noted secretly that Eddison was much better than Tredan!

“Auntie, Uncle, thank you for dinner tonight, it’s the best meal I’ve ever had!”

“If you like your auntie’s cooking, come over when you can and I’ll make you something delicious! And if there is anything wrong with Octavia’s cooking in the future, tell Auntie first, I will help you!” Elda’s enthusiasm for Eddison made Octavia Gills reflect deeply on whether it was right or wrong to have invited Eddison to come over for dinner. Looking at her mother, it was as if she was selling her daughter, and realized that her mother seemed to want her and Gu to marry.

God, what a mess, Octavia Gills was in a dilemma. And to avoid Elda’s excessive questioning, Octavia Gills hitched back with Eddison to her flat on the pretext that she needed to report to the head office tomorrow and needed to sort out some information tonight for the turnover.

Octavia was so tired that when she got back to the flat, she didn’t even turn on the lights, she just changed into a pair of slippers and started to take off her jacket and trousers while walking to the bathroom. She would most probably spend the night tossing and turning.

Octavia walked to the bathroom, already naked, with the shower directly over her head, droplets of water gliding over Octavia’s delicate skin like the dew drops on a rose petal. Tredan Davi was behind Octavia, his blood surged at the sight of her; this little girl was such a siren. Tredan Davi smiled intriguingly and slowly and silently approached Octavia Gills, wrapping his arms around her naked waist from behind. Octavia was so shocked by the hands that suddenly held her that she fell into Tredan Davi’s arms as her legs gave way.

Suddenly, remembering that she was naked in Tredan’s arms, Octavia shyly grabbed the towel and tried to cover herself.

“How did you… you get in my house?” Octavia shyly asked Tredan while trying to cover her exposed body with her hands.

“If I hadn’t come over, how would I have found out you’d come back in another man’s car, and if I hadn’t shown up, how would I have seen such a provocative and open side of you?”

Tredan could not resist kissing her, leaving her lips and every inch of her body with Tredan’s mark. Octavia was in ecstasy as Tredan Davi caressed her again and again!

Tredan had seen Eddison walking her back, and Tredan was glad that Octavia hadn’t brought Eddison up with her.

“You haven’t told me why Eddison brought you home?”

A tired Octavia didn’t hear what Tredan Davi was asking, but learned that listening to Tredan’s voice made her feel especially secure!

The gentle morning sunlight poured through the glass windows lighting every corner of Octavia’s small room, the alarm clock went off at half past seven as usual, and the crisp, irritating sound of the alarm ringing filtered through Octavia’s drowsy head.

“Hmm?” Octavia wanted to roll over and hug Tredan, but instead, she found the bed empty, and Octavia immediately sobered up. Octavia Gills subconsciously sat up and got ready to wash up and go to work. After all, today was a brand new day–a new day at the head office!

Octavia Gills had just sat up when the duvet slipped off and her naked body felt the coolness of the air. God, hadn’t that been a dream last night, had Tredan Davi, really been here? Octavia Gills smacked her head in shyness, wanting to bury her whole body under the covers, just as Tredan Davi sent her a voice message on Facebook.

“Lazy girl, hurry and get up for work. I bought you breakfast and put it on the table. I received notice of an emergency meeting this morning, so I didn’t wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly!”

Octavia Gills smiled sweetly at the sound of Tredan Davi’s gentle voice. Her dear Tredan Davi, she’ll see him at work in a few minutes, Tredan Davi will be so surprised! Would he be happy? Octavia Gills went out the door beautifully dressed in her work clothes! However, she was surprised! She does not remember Eddison telling her that he was going to pick her up, so why was Eddison here?

“Good morning! I came over to pick you up, it’s my first day on the job and I need to have a pretty girl to back me up!” Eddison could see that Octavia Gills was a little offended.

“That’s embarrassing. Next time I’ll just go over earlier and wait for you in front of the office. No need to go to all this trouble, it’s tiring!” Octavia Gills didn’t have to say anything, so she got into her car and went to report to the head office with Eddison!

“What? What do you mean? When did this happen?” The resentment that was in Tredan Davi’s heart almost exploded in an instant.

When Assistant Selwin told Tredan that the Chairman of the Board of Directors has officially issued a directive to the personnel department yesterday to appoint Eddison, the General Manager of the subsidiary, to the position of Vice President of the head office, Tredan did not expect Floyd to use this matter to suppress him.

“President Davi, it wasn’t long after you left the office yesterday that the chairman gave the order and called an emergency meeting today, and half of the reason was to welcome the new vice president!”

Tredan Davi angrily tore up the entire report in his hand that had the agenda of today’s meeting on it. “Go on, set up a dinner appointment with President Seaver for me so I can follow up on that market assessment.”

“Will I schedule it for now?” Assistant Selwin’s head was spinning at the thought that if President Davi was absent from the meeting, he would be badgered by Chairman Davi then give him orders to get President Davi. It’s going to be a bad day for President Davi!

“Or what?” Tredan Davi was not to be messed with today, Assistant Selwin knew him too well and slipped out with the 36th plan.

“Who is President Davi angry with this early in the morning? Who’s angry?” Lilian Drye had been waiting for this scene outside the door for a long time, not realizing that Tredan Davi was already exasperated even before the meeting started. How nice!

“Do you think it’s appropriate to enter my office without my permission, Ms. Lilian?” The more Lilian Drye looked like this the more it annoyed Tredan Davi. He didn’t like women with that kind of face.

“No, I’m here today specifically to tell you the good news!”

“If you have something to say, say it then get out! I’m busy!” Tredan Davi never used to talk to her like that! He never had!

“You never used to talk to me like that!” She wasn’t happy and she wasn’t convinced, she took her phone and sent a Facebook message to Eddison as she spoke to Tredan Davi. Lilian Drye was determined! This is only the beginning! “It’s about your little lover, are you sure you don’t want to hear about it?”

“Tell me straight!” Tredan Davi would like to see what Lilian Drye is up to!

Lilian Drye looked at Facebook on her phone and smiled, just in time! She took one step closer to Tredan Davi and looked at him with such affection, her eyes shining with tears and her voice raised significantly, “Tredan, do you have any idea how much I miss you; I don’t care if you use Octavia Gills as my double, I won’t make a scene anymore! You’re right, she’s just a stand-in for me, she’s just something you need to get off your chest, I’m not angry anymore, I’ll forgive you.”

“What the hell are you talking about, Lilian! What the hell do you want?” Tredan Davi pushed Lilian Drye away to break free from Lilian’s clinging hug. Tredan Davi was baffled by what Lilian Drye was planning to do.

It didn’t matter if she pushed her away, because Lilian Drye had just seen the hurt look on Octavia Gills’ face when she saw her hugging Tredan Davi, and her wishful thinking had finally hit a home run.

“It’s nothing Tredan, I just lost my temper for a moment, you mustn’t blame me. I almost forgot why I came in to see you today that is to tell you something?? something about Octavia Gills, she… is coming to work here at the head office as Eddison’s secretary! She’s not someone who truly loves you, Tredan you know that?” Yes, and this was all Lilian Drye’s plan.

“What are you talking about? What are you babbling about?” Tredan Davi who was provoked by Lilian Drye to his limits, grabbed her by the neck and told her, “If you don’t want to die, get the hell out!”

Lilian Drye was particularly pleased to see the look on Tredan Davi’s face now, but there was also a spot deep inside her heart that particularly hated Tredan Davi for caring this way for Octavia Gills.

“Selwin, be on time for the meeting and cancel the dinner with President Seaver.” Tredan Davi couldn’t believe that Octavia Gills would be Eddison’s secretary to work with him at the office. He would like to see what was in store for this meeting today.

Assistant Selwin’s eyes were turning white, he had just booked a reservation for dinner, and now he had to change it, he felt like crying!

Eddison led Octavia to the meeting room and had her take a seat behind him.

“Octavia, don’t worry about what you just saw, maybe it’s my sister-in-law who can’t let go of my big brother, it’ll get better in a few days!” Eddison had used the word sister-in-law deliberately to irritate Octavia Gills.

“I’m fine!” Octavia Gills said with a sarcastic smile. Yes, Eddison was supposed to call Lilian Drye her sister-in-law; in the eyes of the outside world, Lilian Drye and Tredan Davi were the ones who will be getting married, and they had not denied the marriage publicly yet.

Just after receiving Lilian’s Facebook message, Eddison deliberately took Octavia Gills past Tredan Davi’s office, where Octavia Gills saw the sign that read President’s Office and happily ran up to the door to surprise Tredan Davi. The door was open and Octavia Gills was greeted by Tredan Davi and Lilian Drye hugging, hearing every word Lilian Drye said to Tredan Davi. Perhaps in his mind, she was just filling the void left by Tredan Davi’s childhood! So be it!Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Lilian Drye came in and was particularly pleased to see Octavia Gills’ look of loss and hurt.
