A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER SIXTY

**BRIANNA**

It was Monday morning, I got up early with happiness and energy coursing through me. I was still very much happy about the kiss at the gala and the memory was still fresh in my head. I don’t think I can forget any time soon.

I did the house chores and cooked breakfast for mom and Marianna before both of them could wake up. When it was getting bright outside, I took my bath and dressed in one of the clothes that I got at the mall Adrian took me to. The dress was a short sleeve bodycon dress with a V neck. It was black in color and it brought out my curves. I couldn’t help admiring myself in the mirror. I did my hair into a messy bun and applied makeup on my face. I was ready to go after I put on matching black heels and bag.

I walked out of the room when I was done and went to mom’s room to tell her that I was going to work. I had breakfast before dressing up so there was nothing left for me to do again. I took a cab by the side of the road and in no time, I arrived at the company. I walked straight to the receptionist’s desk and greeted Kristen with a large smile on my face.

“Good morning, Kristen. How was your weekend?” I asked her.

“Morning Brianna, my weekend was good. How was yours? I can already tell that it was fine with the big smile on your face.” Kristen responded and the both of us laughed.

“What do you mean? I smile every day.” I responded.

“You do, but this one look bigger and you seem extremely happy this morning.” Kristen said. “Mind telling me the secret behind it?” she asked with a teasing look in her eyes.

“There’s no secret behind it. I’m just happy today.” I wave the topic off.

“Is the Boss in?” I asked carefully, making sure that I didn’t address him by his name.

“Yes, he’s in.” She said with a nod.

“Okay, I’ll be going now. We’ll have lunch together if I’m chanced.” I stated as I got ready to walk over to the elevator.

“Alright, no problem.” She uttered and I turned towards the direction of the elevator. I got in and the doors were about to close when someone’s leg stopped the door from closing. The person’s face came into the view and it turned out to be Lewis. He entered the elevator with an expressionless face. The elevator started moving and the silence was uncomfortable.

“Hey Lewis!” I greeted cheerily and he just replied with a cold ‘hey’.

“I saw you and Adrian together in the news. The both of you went to the gala together, holding hands like a couple when you’re not. You shouldn’t be close to Adrian; he’s just using you to pass time.” Lewis stated after some seconds of silence.

I got angry when I heard him say that. How dare he tell me what to do? Who the fuck does he think he is?

I faced him with an angry look on my face.

“Listen up, Lewis! You’re in no place to tell me who I can or cannot be with. I’m a grown ass woman and I can make my own decisions by myself. Who the fuck do you think you are? My father? Even he cannot tell me what to do.” I snapped at him angrily, letting him know that I was very angry at him but he wasn’t even fazed.

“You can snap at me all you want. I’m just being a good friend by advising you. I don’t want him to use you.” He responded.

“Well, you can keep your friendship. I’m not benefitting anything from it anyway.” I snapped once more and at that moment, the elevator dinged open and I stormed out of it without bothering to look back at his face.

I made my way to my office in anger. I was upset by what Lewis told me and it was sort of confusing to me because Adrian also told me to stay away from Lewis and now, Lewis is telling me to stay away from Adrian. What the heck is going on?

I got to my office and dumped my bag on the table, and plopped down heavily on my swivel chair. A deep sigh left my mouth as I sat straight and opened my laptop. I opened my emails and saw a bunch of them before I started replying. I did some other work after that before my eyes drifted to the door of my office, a post-it note was sticking to the door.

How come I didn’t notice that when I came in? I must have been too angry to see it. I stood up and went to the door and tore the post-it note away from it.

My eyes skimmed through the note and I immediately recognized the handwriting to be Adrian’s. The note said: ‘come to my office when you see this” and I did exactly what I read in the note. I went to his office and knocked on the door before entering.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He wasn’t doing anything, he was just sitting casually in his swivel chair with his tie loose and the first three buttons of his shirt undone, the chest hair trying to peek out. Don’t ask me what my eyes were doing there, I don’t know either.

“Good morning, Adrian.” I greeted huk cheerfully.

“Morning Brianna. You saw my note, right?”

“I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.” I joked and he chuckled, that deeo rich sound that I’m beginning to like so much.

“Actually, I told you to come because I have something to tell you.” He said.

“Oh? What is that?” I asked, curiosity filling me already because of the tone in which he said it.

“Tell me, Adrian!” I demanded when he hadn’t answered me after about thirty seconds of silence.

“You’re moving to my office today.”
