Chapter 6 I enjoyed that night
As Lily entered the CEO's office, the air seemed to thicken with a blend of tension and uncertainty. Charlie looked up from the documents spread across his desk, his piercing blue eyes meeting hers.
As CEO Charlie sat in his office, his commanding presence seemed to effortlessly fill the room.
Charlie's posture reflected confidence, his back straight and shoulders squared. The play of light in the room highlighted the sharp angles of his well-defined jawline, and his neatly styled hair added to the overall aura of professionalism.
He looked at Lily with some confusion in his eyes.
Lily felt nervous,
“I am sorry for my absence from the...”
“Thank you for your arrival, Miss Smith. What would you like to drink, tea or coffee?” James interrupted.
“She is Miss Smith?” Charlie was surprised.
“Yes, sir. She is the one who signed the contract with you. Her full name is Lily Smith,”James explained.
“What ???” Lily/Charlie were both shocked by the unexpected truth.
“Jeez, don’t tell me he is Mr. Blackwood, Charlie Blackwood?”
Omg, Lily screamed in her mind.
The situation is quite dramatic– the man with whom she experienced an crazy night happens to be not only her CEO but also her future husband.
A contract marriage without love,she have thought about every image of this mysterious guy “Mr Blackwood”,but she never thought that this person would be her boss.
Crazy office romance?
She has just started work for the REN company,but now she needs to marry the CEO of REN.
“......”
As the weight of the revelation settled in the room, Lily and Charlie exchanged incredulous glances, their minds grappling with the unexpected twist of fate. The air seemed charged with an electricity that mirrored the tension between them.
“When are you planning to have your wedding, Mr Charlie and Miss Lily?I have contacted several wedding companies,and what style do you want?” James still tried to show his professional attitude .
Charlie glared at James.
James felt innocent.
He just finished his work and did everything his boss asked successfully. Why does his boss still feel unsatisfied with him and this situation?
James tried to analyze in his mind.
He totally understood the decision to marriage, his boss insisted. Compared to marry the eldest daughter from FES he doesn’t love, marrying with a contract for Miss Lily is safer and more reliable.
Meanwhile, Mr Charlie can fulfill his grandma's expectations for him.
So, James read the investigate report of Lily Smith carefully. She is clever, capable and also passionate about her life.But unfortunately, she has a bad family background. Gambling and an alcoholic father and sick mother,She also has a large student loan to pay off. That’s why she needs financial support immediately that they can supply, and she will possibly be willing to sign the contract. Meanwhile, Lily is just an ordinary girl with an ordinary life,no fame,no drama,no gossip. There will be fewer complications of family weddings andfamily businesses to bother his boss, who prefers a low-key lifestyle.
Last but not least, Miss Lily Smith also had a one-night stand with his boss. She is possibly attractive to his boss,so he assumed his boss would be satisfied with her.
Definitely the 10/10 person for this arrangement!
It is not easy to find someone who is willing to accept a contract marriage marriage, especially at this age. James worked so hard for three days and nights and did his best.
And now that the contract has been signed, there is no room for maneuver.
“Just be simple and private,I don't have many requirements.”
Lily broke the ice directly.
After figuring out the situation,Lily decided to make a move first.
She didn't care whether the man in front of her was satisfied with her status as his fiancée. She just wanted to fulfill the requirements of the contract as soon as possible and get the money for her sick mum.
“As her wish, James.”
Charlie smiled.
James couldn’t believe the light and charming smile on Charlie’s face. He had never seen his boss smile like that before. It was a rare sight, and he had never seen his boss express such emotion.
“So,i need back for work now. See you later.”
“Lily,wait...”
“?”
“I have to say,I’m really sorry for misunderstanding your job, I need to apologize for that.And, that night with you was great.”
“? ! !”
Lily widely opened her beautiful eyes,She didn't expect this narcissist to apologize like this. She felt her face beet red,did she has a cold or something?Jeez,why did he says he enjoyed that night?Didn’t he see James was there too? And, what does that mean?!
Lily leave the CEO office immediately.
