A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE

**BRIANNA**

“We will be landing in a minute!” The booming voice of the pilot woke me up from my nap. I raised my head from Adrian’s shoulder and rubbed my eyes so that I could see clearly. Adrian was also asleep so I tapped him and he woke up.

“The pilot said that the plane will be landing soon.” I muttered to him and he nodded.

“Flight attendants, prepare for landing please. Passengers, sit tight and buckle your seatbelts, we’ll be landing now.” The pilot announced once more.

A few seconds later, I felt the pressure of the jet moving downwards and I gripped the armrest tightly, just like I did when we were about to take off. Turns out, I was still scared of flying.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to A. C. Private Airport. Local time is 3:26 a. m. and the temperature is warm at 22°C.

For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to move about. At this time, you may use your cellular phones if you wish and they may only be used once the Fasten Seat Belt sign has been turned off.

Please check around your seat for any personal belongings you may have brought on board with you and please use caution when opening the overhead bins, as heavy articles may have shifted around during the flight.

If you require deplaning assistance, please remain in your seat until all other passengers have deplaned. One of our crew members will then be pleased to assist you.

On behalf of AC Private Airlines and the entire crew, I’d like to thank you for joining us on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice day/evening/night/stay!” The pilot announced and I wondered how he could talk for that long.

“Wow, that was a long announcement.” I breathed and Adrian chuckled.

“Yeah… They’re usually like that whenever the plane is about to land.” He responded.

“So… It’s morning here in Madrid? I heard the pilot say that the local time was 3:26 a. m.” I asked Adrian in amazement.

“Yes, Madrid is nine hours ahead of California. It will be evening back at home, around 6 p. m.” He answered with a small smile.

“That’s awesome.” I grinned. “It’s amazing how we all live on the same Earth and have different time zones.”

“Yeah, that’s right.” He bobbed his head.

“Time to alight from the plane.” He said and stood up. He put his laptop in a bag while I picked up my bag, the only thing I had brought onboard with me.

Adrian walked ahead of me and I followed behind him. We went down the short stairs and within a minute, we were out of the Jet and out in the open.

I closed my eyes and took in a deep breathe, smile forming on my face as I realized the fact that I was in a place that wasn’t California for the first time in my life.

“Let’s go.” Adrian came to my side and held my hand as he walked me to a Black Bentley. A man was standing beside it and he smiled when he saw us.

“Mr. Adrian! Good to see you again!” The man said with a wide smile as he moved closer to us and shook hands with Adrian.

“Miss Brianna, welcome to Madrid. I’m Wilfred Owen, Mr. Adrian’s driver here in Madrid.” He brought his hand forward andi shook it.

“Thank you and Nice to meet you, Wilfred.” I smiled briefly.

Wilfred looked like he would be in his forties. He has salt and pepper hair, and scruffy beard.

“Let’s get into the car.” Adrian said as he opened the door to the backseat for me and I got in. He slid inside after me.

The flight attendants and Wilfred had put our bags in the trunk of the car. Wilfred got into the driver’s seat of the car, revved the engine and drove out of the airport.

There were not a lot of cars on the road as it was very early in the morning. There were lights everywhere and it sort of looked like the whole place was bright. I couldn’t stop looking around during the ride to wherever we were going.

Several minutes later, Wilfred pulled over in front of a mansion. It looked so beautiful and I wondered who owned it.

“We’re here.” Adrian smiled at me as he got down from the car and came over to my side to open the door. He took my hand into his as I alighted.

We walked towards the house while Wilfred followed behind us with the bags. Adrian held me as we climbed the stairs that led to the front door. The door was an electronic one and it needed a code to open it. Adrian pressed in the code and the door opened on it’s own.

The house was dark when we stepped in but as Adrian said “Lights!”… The lights came on and whole place was bright. I couldn’t help but gush at how beautiful the living area was. It looked breathtaking. There was even a bar at one side of the room. And a chandelier was dangling from the center of the ceiling.

“Woah, this is beautiful.” I gushed.

“Yes, it is. This is one of my many mansions.” He said and my jaw dropped for the umpteenth time today.

“You own this place?!” I shrieked loudly and he smirked.

“Yes, what did you think?”

“I thought it was rented or something. You’re full of surprises, Adrian.” I shook my head in surprise.

“I have this mansion here in case I come for business or a vacation. It’s far better than staying at a hotel. And I have housekeepers taking care of the place when I’m not around.” He explained.

“Wow, that’s awesome.” Was the only thing that came out of my mouth.

“Wilfred, thanks for your help.” Adrian said as he faced Wilfred.

“It’s no problem, Mr. Adrian. I’m just doing my job.” He bowed slightly.

“You can go now. Will call you in the morning when we need you.” Adrian stated and Wilfred bobbed his head.

“Alright sir, will be on my way then.”

“See you later, Miss Brianna.” He said before walking out the door.

Adrian faced me after he left.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you want something to eat before we go to sleep? There should be some food in the kitchen.” He asked.

“Nah, right now, I just want to sleep.” I answered, a yawn leaving my mouth.

“Alright then. Let me take you to the bedroom.” He uttered and walked up the stairs and I followed behind him. We arrived in front of a door.

“This is the master bedroom, you can sleep here. I’ll go sleep in the guest bedroom.” He said as he opened the door.

“Shouldn’t it be the other way round? I should be the one sleeping in the guest bedroom.” I replied.

“No, you sleep here. It’s more comfortable than the guest bedroom and you need to rest.” He said and I sighed.

“Okay, if you say so.” I stated.

“Yeah, catch some rest. Our meeting with the investors is by 12 p. m.” He said and was going to walk away when I pulled him back and gave him a small kiss on the lips.

“You can go now.” I said and slipped into the room, listening to his rich chuckle as I closed the door.

I looked at the king-sized bed in front of me and grinned. I bet it would be very soft.

Time to sleep till whenever…
