BETROTHED PRINCESS OF THE DOMINANT CEO.

EPISODE 1:PARTNERSHIP CONTRACT. What a Storm". I said when I finally got up from bed. It seems the heavy storm last night washed away all my stress from school and brought a fresh start. " Yes, come in". I said out loud when I heard the knock on my room door. "Good morning princess" said the one who came in and it's none other than my sister De-Xia. I glared at her because she knows I don't like to be addressed as such and to crown it all the outfits she's wearing is annoying. I don't really know why she loves the color pink, I and grandma doesn't, they say it's girls color but I don't like it, I actually find it childish. "What's up" I asked her. " The LEAN De-Xia Group just called" she said and that got me surprised. " And you're to sign the contract over dinner tonight, by 7:30p.m" she said " Oh My God are you for real? like the PARTNERSHIP deal has been approved" I said not believing my ears. "Go get ready you got less than two hours to get ready" De-Xia said. "Like seriously am signing the contract with the Legend LEAN DE-XIA group.******************************** "Excuse me Miss Lilian, the president is over here" said a guy whom I presume he's the assistant. Sure enough he is the P.A to President Lean. " O.M.G! his so handsome and hot" De-Xia whispered to my ears as we walked towards the man who was seated on a single arm sofa inside the private room. Well I will give him a 10/10 for his looks. But am not gonna drool not until my contact is signed. "Good evening President Lean" " Good evening miss Lillian, please have a seat" said Mr Lean, just then the waiter came and took our others. " Miss Lillian, I looked at your partnership proposal and it's good but; he paused to see who was calling him on the phone then signaled his assistant to give me the contract. " Miss Lillian, the president want you to go through the last page of the contract" he said. I took the fill and flipped open the last page and found that there's been some changes. 'hmm, that's not bad I can do that' I thought to myself. " President Lean, I agree with your terms" I told him when he got back and he nods in response. " Miss Xia have you been to country C before? president Lean suddenly asked " Not at all President Lean" "Hmm" Mr Lean responded and just then the waiter brought our order. ****************************************** " So you agreed to work in his company three times a week? asked De-Xia still not convinced i signed the contract despite Mr Lean's condition of me working in his company three days a week. " Yeah, but you don't seem to be happy about it" I said " Not happy you say, of course I am happy for you, just that I've been concerned about the question Mr Lean asked me.... do you think there's any relationship between Mr Lean and I? she asked. " Well, I don't know probably you're just over thinking because you bear same name". I told her " Please take care of my company, I love you still even when your friendship gives me headache".I said and she chuckled softly. **************************************** The Lean company is really what it is, gush! standing at the Western part of Brooklyn in all it's magnificent glory. "Hello, good morning" I greeted the receptionist. " Good morning Miss, "Lillian" I told her "Ops sorry ma'am, please take the elevator at your right to the 60th floor" "Hmm" seems the receptionist has been informed about my coming. In Know time I was at the president floor and was shown my office by his secretary. Impressive never thought I'd be in same floor with the president. ****************************************** For two weeks I've been intersecting between the LEAN De-Xia Group and my Textile Design Company. It hasn't been easy. Though Mr Lean and I are on same floor but it's strictly business, I've been to his office twice and it's just to explain the details of the design draft and that's where am heading too. "Come in" came the deep masculine voice of the president. Stepping inside I greeted him but he signaled me to wait so, he could round up with his assistant which was done in five minutes. " Miss Lillian sorry for keeping you waiting" "No issues Mr president". " Here are the final designs for the launching" I said placing it on his desk. " Impressive" he said and signed on it, then called the head of production department to come pickup the design. I turned to leave but was stopped by Mr Lean. " Are you free to night? he asked " Well, am not sure, I might go back to the company" I said that, not giving him a direct answer. "Okay, but can you do me a favor? well not for free".he said " Okay, let's hear it" "I need a date for dinner tonight" he said. EPISODE 2: PRETEND TO BE Mrs LEAN Huo. " Oh my goodness, am so missing you right now De-Xia" I said to myself while trying to pick up a dress for the dinner which I was invited to. De-Xia isn't in the house now because she has to supervise the new badge of her cosmetics production. Just then my nanny knocked and came in carrying a big box. " I didn't order anything" I said looking puzzled. " There's a note" she said giving me the note. " THANK YOU. President Lean". I read out. I took the dress into my walk-in closet then dressed up. It's a one hand sleeve with a seductive slit on the left leg, it's giving the red carpet vibe. I went to to see the car sent by my Lean but was surprised to see him inside. "You look gorgeous Mrs Lean" he said " Thank you Mr Lean, glad I met your standard". The chauffeur was surprised to see his boss act care free with this lady ' It seems the dominant king is coming around, thank goodness' *************************************** In the LEAN De-Xia Group, a young master, though looking stunning in the latest edition suit, is burning in rage. "President Lean...." "Is she here yet" he asked his assistant interrupting him from speaking. " Yes Mr President, she'll be here in seconds" he reported "And the photos has been erased from the system". His assistant said carefully as if walking on an egg. When the door opened and he saw the new comer he released the breath he never new he was holding. " Hello babe, how...." "Cut the crab" thundered Mr Lean. she gave him signal with her eyes to ask his assistant to leave. 'gush this assistant that never liked her' she thought. " Why did you post those picture online? you want to draw attention please do but to yourself, and what do you want to prove? that we're a couple? now listening carefully, we may have had something going but not anymore". he said in one breath. " Babe what do you mean not anymore, yes i made mistake in posting those pictures but please I can't do without you, I....." "Indeed you can't do without me, because of my money you spend on men you slut... no don't give me that look, do you think I don't know the s**t you've been up too and the last vacation to France were you paid five men to sleep with. Read my lips don't ever in your damn f***king life come close.....GET OUT!" he thundered and she ran out of his office in tears. ****************************************** It's been two months since I pretended to be Mrs Lean and since then I've pretended twice, making it three. The last one almost ended evening before it started. I never knew the investors was Mr Brooks, my father's right hand man and also the prime minister of the palace. I had to signal him not to reveal my identity, and he should please sign the contract because he knows am not married. I heard my phone ring and I answered without looking at the caller I.D. " Am outside your door Mrs Lean" that made me look at my phone screen. " Good morning Mr Lean" I greeted but he's at my door " Don't tell me you're still in bed" he said "No Mr Lean, I'll come get the door" I said going downstairs but when I opened the door no one was there and, he was still on call. "Mr Lean, where are you?" "Finally got you out of bed" he said " This is not funny Lean Huo Daniel!!, who gets up this early on a Saturday morning? gosh" I said irritably. "I do,...... okay dress up and come with me for an adventure" he said and hung up not giving me room to refuse. but love the word 'ADVENTURE'. ****************************************** True to his words he took us for an adventure, not really the crazy fun type like mountain climbing or bike ride but a Modeling show at the Hunter Mountain Resort. 'It's good to have fun sometimes' I thought. and just then I got a message from my secret indicator. It seems there's trouble, I excused myself and stepped out. I saw the video that was sent which involved a young girl in a car accident. I sent massage back for the suspect to be taken care of, then got back inside not before, asking for the victim to be sent to the best hospital. When I got in I discovered that the girl involved in the accident is the makeup artist for the A-list models. The young CEO of the modeling company was lost on how to come up with replacement. Then I thought of De-Xia, "Well I could help" I said and the young CEO assistant came rushing to me. "Really you can help, let's go then" he Said. " I meant I could help you with some replacement not me in person but, you have to wait a little longer" I said stepping out to call De-Xia. ****************************************** "She will be here in half an hour" I informed them. In half an hour De-Xia came in. " Lily what's up" De-Xia said to me. " The sky" I said sarcastically which made her roll her eyes. " She's here" I said out to the assistant. But what she did next was surprising " Stop drooling she's not whom you think she is" came the deep masculine voice from behind me and it's none other than Mr Lean. "Oh, but young master...." "Not now Dew, show her the models" instructed the young master who's the host. In less than five minutes we heard voices from the dressing room. And a model stepped out. " Assistant Dew please change the artist I don't think she knows her job, like did you invite a top model to come make me up" she said " She's not her". said a male voice whom I don't know yet. " And miss Lulu Smith you won't continue the show tonight, officers take her away" said the male voice. " Brother what's wrong" just then my secret indicator notified me, that the prime suspect was a model who wants to ruin the show. De-Xia and I locked eyes and understood the game because she was notified as well. "Nothing to worry about, just look for another A list replacement" and all eyes were on De-Xia. "Am not a model" she said but I won't let her off. "Yes you're not but you can do it 'second princess'. I whispered the last part and she gave me the 'if you dare look'. Finally everyone was in astonished by her performance. She's royal so has the grace and pose. ****************************************** At the end of the event De-Xia and I was surprised to see a graceful, elegant beauty walking towards us and it's none other than the head princess, who's our elder sister. " Well, well, well if it's not the two royal rascals then I wonder who" she said sarcastically. "Greetings her royal highness" De-Xia and I greeted but pulled her along with us outside where no one can her or see us. " What the hell, you rascals!" she queried "We're sorry for pulling you out in such manner but...." "Enough! now explain yourselves, why did you involve yourself in the accident case, what do you want to prove? And you super lady saved the show, you're lucky there's a model strickling resemblance as you if not you'd answer to dad and mom". what could we both possibly do or say, when she's our senior. if we react, it's possible we could be sent to our grandma at Ethiopia. And that's not funny. ****************************************** "Elder sister, we're sorry please" De-Xia and I pleaded but she scoffed. " What strings are you pulling at?, well, I don't have issues with you but, you go back and pack up, we're going back home". she said "And it's an order" " Sister I can't go back now...." I was saying but she glared at me and I new I can't refute her. De-Xia and I followed her back to our house and refused to speak to her but, went into our separate rooms. I called my grandma, so as to play the grandma card on my parents. " Grandma hello, good evening her Royal Majesty," I greeted but she chuckled instead. " You remembered to call this old lady today, what wind blew on you today? asked grandma. " Grandma am your favorite you know that and I always call to on you, just that I've been busy lately with my Textile company, you won't believe it grandma, I finally signed the partnership contract with the LEAN De-Xia Group". I told her " That's the spirit girl, keep it up grandma is so proud of you. Now tell the old lady why you called this late". "Grandma could you speak to mom and dad, elder sister is here to take us back". I told her. "But why is that? she asked. " I don't know, she said it's an order". "Ok I will call them tomorrow, but, you need to be available for my 80th birthday in two months time, this is an order!" " Yes grandma, you're the best" " Alright, alright you take care" she said and hung up. The following morning my elder sister smirked at us " Someone proves to be smart by calling their grandma" she sarcastically said before joining for breakfast. EPISODE 3: THE CEOs DINNER. It's been over five months now since I signed up for partnership with the LEAN De-Xia Group and my Textile company and am super excited that my dreams of becoming a renowned designer in the textile industry is coming to fulfillment. Today at x x x x Six Star Hotel all the CEO are having dinner banquet. Am excited and nervous at the same time because, I normally withdrew from such invent at the palace but excited to meet other CEOs for contract purpose. "All eyes will be on you" De-Xia said as we walked towards the entrance. "You mean all asshole will be ogling at you" I sarcastically said and she rolled her eyes "What a joy killer" she said. True to her words when we got in all eyes were on us and it seems I should turn back but thank the heavens De-Xia is with me. we both walked in and few seconds she left me to my fate. I went to get myself a drink when Mr Lean walked up to me. "How are you enjoying the party Ms Lillian?". "Am not really a fan of such stuff President Lean". I said truthfully. "I noticed that when your sister stood you up; come I'll introduce you" he said giving me his hands off which I accepted. True to his words he introduced me to top CEOs both locals and foreign. " Thank you President Lean" I said after the introduction "Don't thank me yet, look at your four o'clock and tell me who you see" he said and I followed his words sure enough I saw an investor whom I pretended to be Mr Lean's wife to, I looked at Mr Lean and he nods slightly giving me the clue. " May I have this dance my lady" he suddenly asked " Sure Mr Lean" I said and we both joined others at the dancing floor. It started slowly at first but became intense as it goes, thanks to my dancing classes though it's necessary for all royals to partake in such. " You dance so well, God bless your union" said the foreign investor Mr and Mrs Adam Scott. " Thank you Mr Scott" said Mr Lean "Enjoy the party" Mr Scott said and left with his wife. " That was a close call" I said " It's true you dance pretty well" "You as well Mr Lean" " You have to come with me, I will drop you off seems you're exhausted for the day" he said as we walked hand in hand to the exit. " I will just wait here for De-Xia Mr Lean" I said "I don't bite Mrs Lean, come I'll drop you off". I rolled my eyes at his words. "Sis here you're, ops sorry Mr Lean" De-Xia said. " Come I will drop you guys off, ask your chauffeur to head back". he said not giving us room to refuse. **************************************** At Models and Fashion company, the second young master was seated lost in thoughts when he's assistant Jin-jo called out to him. He looked up and signaled him to speak up. " Sir, the young Ms Li was spotted at country A this morning and she works at your cousins company abroad" " Hmm, did she major in Architecture?" he asked. "No sir, she majored in Fashion and Design Sir' he paused and continued " Young master, it was reported that your grand-aunt made her join your cousins company, do you think she wants to match make them..." "Enough, cancel all my meetings for two weeks and book me the next flight". " Sure Sir' Jin-jo said and left. "So I've finally found you, after all these years of searching. Where could you have hidden my little damsel, have you been abroad all this time and I've been searching the wrong place all along? what connection do you have with the old military personnel? for over a decade I've been searching for you and now that I've found you, I won't let you slip" he said within him before leaving for the airport right from the office. ****************************************** De-Xia received a call from a client who wants her to come do her bridal shower make over. She headed over right from the her office. she shares the same company building with her sister Lillian. She finished with the bride to be and her maid of honor at the City central Six Star Hotel. Exiting the elevator to the hotel lobby she came face to face with the renowned award winning actress and model who has a strickling resemblance as her. They were both confused, just staring at themselves even the hotel staffs were all in awe. ' I see now the reason why these staffs treated me with respect, seems I've been mistaken to be some else' De-Xia thought. "Who are you" asked the P.A of the other " Are you my long lost sister " the other said and it baffled De-Xia. " Is your name De-Xia? am Rio-xia " with all this De-Xia suddenly lost her focus and everything became blurry and she fainted. " Call the ambulance! no get my driver to bring the car" shouted Rio-xia but before any of these could come four Men on black came and took her away. "What, No! you can't take her away, stop right there" Rio-xia commanded but no one listened to her but continued. She called the security who stopped the four Men. " Stop you can't take her away" one of the security said. "You dare stop her highness from medical treatment, do you have a death wish" said one of the men on black. Just then an imaginary teleport ship appeared in front of the men, they got in and it disappears just as it came. "What the hell, what just happened?" " That teleport ship is out of this world" The golden color almost blinded my eyes'. those who saw it said among themselves. Rio-xia was more confused but called her brother and related all that happened to him. ****************************************** In the LEAN De-Xia Group, the young CEO was standing at the French window looking down to the busy streets but, at same time listening to his assistant Paul who was reporting to him. " President Lean the hotel system has been hacked and even your cousin was called upon but still could not retrieve it". "I need results not this, get me the world best hacker now" "Your cousin has been the world best hacker over a decade now but it seems someone has risen to take his spot" "Interesting, did you get the information I asked for" Mr Lean asked. "Yes sir, I've sent you the video and some pictures" "Okay" he walked back and took his seat then opened up the video and the picture which cleared up his doubt about Lillian and De-Xia been royals. He didn't pay much attention to it at first when he signed up the contract with Ms Lillian but when he spotted her and De-Xia with Princess Charlotte he had his assistant investigate. He had always know that people who goes by a single name are likely royals and Aristotle's family. " So she's a princess after all" he said "How about the other stuff I asked for?" "President from the investigation no one survived the accident back then expect your mom Sir' the assistant said carefully like walking on an egg. "Then who's De-Xia, how come she bears strickling resemblance with Rio-xia?....two weeks, you have only but two weeks to find out if she was rescued from the accident or died".he said in a calm but deadly voice. EPISODE 4: OLD MADAM LEAN. In the Lean family manor, the old lady was seated in the dining room taking her meal, when a servant came to her. " Yes, go on" "Madam, Sargent Andre wants to have a word with you". said the servant bowing in curtsy. " Hmm, ask him to join me in my study"said the old lady. she stood up about going to her study "Thank you Mrs Moore for dinner, bring some tea for the Sargent". "Yes madam,but you haven't finished your food" "I've lost my appetite" "Ma'am you have to eat, so you take your medication" "Don't be worried, it's not time for me to join my ancestors" "Ma'am...." "Enough, you can retire for the night am not a child that needs to be coaxed" she refuted Mrs Moore before entering into her study. "Good evening madam" Sargent Andre greeted with his head bowing down. " Good evening Sargent, how are my unpredictable grandsons doing?" asked old madam Lean. " Ma'am the second young master, Max has traveled to country A, and the group president is investigating the accident case again, his having doubt about the late Ms death. Few days back Ms Rio-xia encountered the second princess at the hotel" he went ahead and told the old lady all that happened. " Does Huo know anything yet" she asked. " He knows their identity as princesses". "Hmm, okay I'll call them back soon" she said. " Madam there's an invite from the palace, queen mother is celebrating her 80th birthday in two weeks time" he said handing over the invite which was hand written and stamped with the royal seal. ****************************************** The old madam Lean could not sleep that night, she had a nightmare, and this time her late husband Gen. LAN LEAN. told her not to go against the promise because it will ruin their family tiers. And the other is her grandson and his cousin almost killed themselves. The most terrifying is that all the Lean family empire was on fire. "thank the heavens it's a dream" she thought 'but dreams do come true if cushions are not taking' a voice told her. She looked around but no one was there. The next morning she called Mrs Moore " Madam is there something you need" "Yes, you've been with me the longest and I want you to speak freely" she paused " am I being hard on my family" she asked, though a simple question but a tricky one. " No madam, you're not. are you worried about them not coming back home?" asked Mrs Moore. " Did I in away offended them, that no one comes back. If I don't call know they wouldn't. Is this my karma of living my parents to join the military just for love sake?" she said with a sad tune. "Madam you did what you thought was best for you and I don't think it's karma. In my opinion you should call them back" "How? they all have their own companies to manage, I won't let them neglect their work" Mrs Moore went closer and whispered into her ears. "Do you think that will work" asked the old lady. " There's no harm in trying ma'am". "If you say so, then go ahead with it... make sure IT'S A COMMAND" she emphasized the last part making it clear no one is left out or to refute. ***************************************** The Li family Villa, some group of women were playing chess over the afternoon tea. "Mistress Li....." one of the ladies said unintentionally but it was too late to take back her words. " What did you just say! how dare you call me a mistress? have you forgotten that, if not for my son agreeing to marry your daughter..." " Ops sorry it's a slip of tongue, she didn't mean to call you that everyone in West city knows that Mr Li loves you the most" an other lady tried and coax her. " Yes it's a slip of tongue, I can slap myself for the mistake,.... I only saw your stepdaughter when I traveled to...." "You saw who? did you say you saw that b***h? come on tell me already" the mistress demanded. "Well I saw Cia Li, when I went visiting my daughter and, you won't believe it, she's so pretty, looking classy; the most intriguing part is my daughter said that Cia Li works in a renowned company". she finally said but the other party scoffed. " No matter how good looking she is or company she works in, she can never major to my 'Son' who's the chairman of the Li's empire". she said full of pride. " Yes, yes that's true but you should be careful not to get soap in your eyes, while having your bath in the ocean". adviced one of the ladies. This made the Li mistress to think hard and it gave her sleepless nights in the days to come. ****************************************. " President Lean, the board meeting is five minutes but Ms Lillian is yet to come" reported assistant Paul. " Let's go, she knows the rules of been late" he said stepping out of his office and walked to the elevator. " Stop" the assistant said to who so ever was in the elevator. surprisingly it was Lillian, well they're on same floor so it's bound to happen but Mr Lean's face was devoid of expression, even when Lillian greeted he responded with 'hmm'. He as well gave a meaningful distance between them. 'what's wrong with these two' the assistant thought to himself. At the meeting Lillian presentation for the new textile design was incredible everyone was pleased and approved of it but someone wasn't buying that. "I don't approve of it. Though, the analysis is good but if not properly done we'll suffer great lost. I'll approve it if only you'll bear the consequences". Mr Lean said and all eyes were fixed on Lillian waiting for her response. "The meeting is adjourned till further notice" he said standing up and left. Immediately the elevator stopped Lean Huo walked out without looking back but Lillian's question made him to pause "Are you avoiding me Mr Lean? she asked." No. no am not avoiding you" he said still backing her. "What's the issue then? you've been giving me cold shoulder for a while now she said making him to face her but said nothing instead he told his assistant to get back to work and Lillian to come to his office. He gave soda water to Lillian and took his seat behind his desk. "So, what's up Mr Lean? she asked but he smirked at her. "Is there something you would want me to know Ms Lillian?" he asked."And what would that be" she responded not having a clue but he scoffed at her."Why do you by just Lillian and nothing else?" he asked locking eyes with her, Lillian withdrew her eyes and tried to steady her voice before answering. "Well, it's a personnel decision Mr Lean" she said "Oh, really" Lean Huo said with a disappointed tune. 'still not ready to reveal your identity as a princess.but, why won't a pretty independent royal reveal her identity, is someone after her?' Lean Huo thought to himself. " Okay thank you Ms Lillian see you around" he said dismissing her "Alright Mr Lean" she leaving his office.
