Hello, CEO! Don’t Play With Me!

“I’m sorry for not accompanying you until the end of the event,” Giselle said regretfully. Her mouthful was no longer as full as before. Although Justin didn’t mention Giselle’s absence during the banquet, Giselle knew better. She had to talk to her boss.

“No problem,” Justin said, eating the omelette that was served to him. “You do look tired, I should apologize for forcing you to come along.” The man put down his cutlery slowly. He reached out to run his hand through Giselle’s neatly combed hair.

Still wearing her sleeping pajamas, just to wash her face and make herself look a bit presentable, Giselle chose to eat in the room. Since the room she occupies is quite spacious, there is also a dining table and chairs available despite the minimalist model.

Justin didn’t mind accompanying Giselle to eat her breakfast. After all, he had just had a waffle and a cup of coffee. At least this cheese-coated egg-mixed potato omelette can make his stomach full.

“What about Harvey?” Giselle smiled cheerfully at Justin’s treatment just now, taking in what the man had given her. “I haven’t said hello to him since earlier.”

“I think I spent some time at the branch that just opened yesterday. There were some photo shoots there too.”

Giselle nodded in understanding. “For catalog purposes?”

“Yes, it will also be chosen from your previous photo collection. The latest of course because what you wear, always sells out.” Justin grinned widely. “Thanks to Giselle Namiozuka’s great influence.”

Giselle spluttered. “You’re praising me as if I’m the one who worked hard all by myself,” she laughed. “You forget, behind SEO there are many people who support it.”

“There’s no way I’d forget a precious detail like that, Giselle.” Justin finished his meal. “I’ve given everyone a well-deserved bonus and they’re all happy. Including three extra days off before we head back to Centralia.”

“Really?” asked Giselle with a look of excitement that could not be concealed. She was so shocked and excited that it was her day off, the day she had been waiting for. Spending time in this place wouldn’t hurt either.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Do I look like I’m joking?” asked Justin with an amused chuckle. “Did you have breakfast? If so, I’ll wait for you to get ready. Let’s… take a vacation. You want us to go on a date, right?”

“You’re the best, Justin!” Giselle squealed with delight. She rushed over to Justin and hugged him tightly. Ignoring the fact that Justin had often said emphatically that he had no feelings for her. At all. What Justin did for her was nothing more than that Giselle was the dearest sister of Justin Stockholm.

“Hurry up. You don’t want to stay up late, do you? Harvey said you guys have an appointment to walk around the city at night?”

Actually, Giselle has never made such a promise but that’s okay. Harvey had something to say and he had a lot of stories to share, minus the part he thought was private. About how Andrew’s family really is.

“Okay. I’ll be ready soon.” Giselle broke their embrace, leaving Justin to get busy with the rest of his work. For most SEO staff, a vacation is a complete break from the entangling links of work without exception. To really take advantage of the time to recharge and mostly unwind to get back into the high spirits of working under Justin’s flag in this country.

It didn’t take long, because according to Giselle, being with Justin didn’t require makeup like Giselle in front of the camera. She was more free and free, but Giselle still made herself up. Especially in terms of clothing color. As much as possible she looks for colors that match the colors Justin is wearing today.

“I’m ready,” said Giselle with a cheerful laugh. wearing a dark navy hoodie made of slightly shiny material, knee-length, she only covered it with hotpants. She wore five-centimeter heels as a sweetener that matched the color of her tote bag. Not forgetting the large sunglasses as accessories. “What do you think?”

“Do you want me to compliment you on your beauty too?” Justin laughed. He tidied up his work and put it in his bag. “Please put it next to your bed, Giselle. It’s my work laptop, a lot of valuable stuff in there.”

“Okay.” Giselle complied. Keeping it well because she knew how valuable it was that it must contain many important designs and documents.

“My car is already in the lobby, I guess we’re ready to travel?”

“Where are we going?”

“Making time.” Justin chuckled, put his arm around Giselle and quickly left the girl’s room, having left a message with Brina that the two of them would be gone probably until late afternoon.

“I heard Andrew met you last night?” asked Justin as they got into the car. After making sure Giselle was wearing her seatbelt, he had also set the GPS in the car for directions. In this case, the GPS was indeed very helpful to speed up their arrival at their destination.

“That’s the way it is.”

“You knew that guy was getting married?”

Giselle nodded without hesitation.

“I’m quite surprised by the news, apart from the Langham name, and why such news seems to be covered up. We all know how influential Kingston is in whatever is reported across the country.”

Giselle only responded with a nod, her eyes already focused on the path Justin was taking following the directions.

“But their relationship doesn’t bother you, does it?” Justin asked, glancing at Giselle who was still silent.

“Why bother?”

Justin grinned slightly. “I don’t think you’re stupid enough to be able to tell what Andrew wants from his behavior towards you over the past few months.”

“Yes, I know.” Giselle sat back down again. This time, she made her seat as comfortable as possible. The directions informed her that their journey would take about an hour. At the very least, she needed a comfortable recline, right?

“I had nothing to do with their relationship. I was just a little disappointed that Andrew hid it from me. But after hearing all his explanations last night, I understand why there had to be a wedding.”

“And you don’t like it?”

Giselle chuckled. “Why should I dislike it? As a friend, maybe this is why I felt disappointed that Andrew didn’t tell me. Although I felt overconfident because I thought Andrew was a friend. Oh… how stupid of me.” Giselle patted her forehead lightly. “But Andrew is a good guy in my opinion.”

“Good enough,” Justin corrected. “You don’t know who Andrew is yet, do you? Don’t trust too easily.”

“Does Andrew still have a goal of harming me?” asked Giselle with a look of disbelief.

“No.” Justin said emphatically. “If that happens, I won’t hesitate to make him do what I want. He won’t be able to move.”

Giselle let out a sigh of relief.

“But an improvement on your life, Giselle.” Justin glanced over with a faint smile. “You can judge a person’s personality and believe in the sincerity of others besides those around you. Your confidence level is growing.”

“Nothing’s wrong, right?”

“Absolutely not.” Justin laughed. “In the end, you have to come out of distrust of people. It’s not necessarily the case that people who approach you have bad intentions, although… they should still be watched out for. In this case, Andrew, I don’t think it’s necessary. I believe he was sincere in approaching you.”

“I see, huh?”

“Unfortunately… she’s getting married soon.”

Giselle smiled slightly. “I wish her happiness. I think with Fania, Andrew is a good match.”

“Are you sure?” asked Justin with a probing look.

“Why am I not sure?”

Justin didn’t answer, choosing to focus on the steering wheel.

“In my heart there is still someone else’s name. I can’t shift that easily just because of what Andrew has done to me lately. if a comparison is made, it’s still too far what that guy has done to me, compared to Andrew. so I guess, as a good friend, I want happiness for Andrew too. He’s a good guy.”
