CEO Daddy, Let’s Get Mommy - Chapter 317
Ch- 316
“Celta, could you pass that dish to me?” Nicholas asked.
Celta saw her idol was asking for soup, so she stood up and was about to pass the bowl to him, but she suddenly stumbled and poured it on his hands. Celta didn’t know why but she felt that her shoes were going to break. Because her heels were stumbling and shaking. She just hoped that they would stay intact for today. But being involved in her thoughts she didn’t notice that the bowl slipped and scalded Nicholas’s right arm.
Celta flustered out. Her brain turned blank. Why in the hell was she bringing troubles to her idol?
“I am sorry, President. I will wipe it off,” she said as she took out the tissues and started wiping them. She didn’t see that Michelle got up from her seat with a tissue in her hands and ran to their side. Michelle could feel anger coursing through her veins when she saw how close they were and she didn’t like it when Nicholas ignored her.
She returned to her seat and stopped eating.
“President, I will get first aid. Your hand scalded badly,” Celta said and hurried out. Nicholas can heal faster than normal humans. But he couldn’t say anything to her. He let her do the things on her own. He could hear the thoughts of Michelle that were running in her mind.
She was so damn jealous!!
Michelle took a deep breath and calmed her nerves.
“Mr. Vritra, the antique bidding during the official banquet of N&M. PVT. LTD…..” Michelle started.
“Miss. Felix, I guess you got the wrong information. The bidding during the hotel opening, which is the same day as the official banquet of N & M.PVT.LTD,” Nicholas said.
Michelle didn’t know why but she felt anger. Only anger… from the files she got it stated that way. If it’s that way… then she has to deal with her employees and has to reflect on her incompetence.
“I will take my leave, Mr. Vritra. Sorry for my lack of knowledge. I will send someone with knowledge.” she said and got up, picking her bag and strutted out.
It’s just that it was a pure coincidence that Celta came in the very second, pissing off Michelle further. Nicholas closed his eyes and shook his hand, the red scald was no longer present…
Michelle just stormed out of the room in a fit of anger cursing why the soup didn’t slip on his face.
[That man!! He spoke with my father saying that he would court me for real! But he dares to kiss another woman and fools around! This man! He got guts!! I can go around and date!!] Michelle couldn’t help but think.
The more she thought about it the more she became angry. Entering the car she decided to drive away.
“President Vritra, Why did Lady boss seem angry?” Celta asked innocently, blinking her eyes.
She couldn’t understand why the lady boss seemed angry. Didn’t she like Nicholas?
“I thought Lady Boss likes you, Boss. Sigh… you are too slow!” Celta said forgetting that she was an employee under Nicholas.
“She is jealous of you,” Nicholas said.
“And you let her misunderstand us?” Celta asked with a speechless expression.
Nicholas looked at her with an expression that said ‘so what’.
“No offense! But you deserve to be single for your whole life with this behavior!” Celta said, pushing all the food into his plate.
“I am your boss, Remember!” Nicholas reminded her.
“That’s the very reason tells me that I shall help you in getting the lady boss. But… now my conscience is saying not to help you,” Celta said and stuffed her mouth with food.
“Please give me an idea,” he asked. But Celta just looked at him with an uninterested expression and turned her head away.
“Please…” no matter how much Nicholas begged Celta didn’t give it away.
After lunch, they both returned to their office.
Meanwhile
“Dad!! Did you do this on purpose?” Michelle said as she yelled while bargaining into his cabin.
“Babe? What do you mean?” Ivanov Felix asked.
“You asked me to go there on purpose. And you changed the materials of the project for me on purpose. And even hid the fact that Nicholas was the CEO of the new company, right?” Michelle asked as the anger surged into her veins.
“Babe, I did that because I thought you both needed some time to talk,” Ivanov said.
“Dad!!” Michelle yelled.
“Baby, you are not young anymore. Even Esther got married. And she got married twice. I want my daughter to get married at least once! Is it wrong?” Ivanov said.
“Dad…” Michelle dragged.
“Baby, listen to dad once,” he pleaded.
“Dad… Listen once to what I say. After that your wish,” she said with a desperate expression.
“Say…” Ivanov said with a sigh.
“When I entered the restaurant… I saw Nicholas and his secretary kissing each other. And also… during the lunch meeting instead of talking with me… he is showing off his love to me. I couldn’t stand that,” Michelle said, letting a tear slip down her eyes.
The feeling of his betrayal was haunting her. How could she like a man like that? She could see their images in her mind in a crystal clear way.
She couldn’t understand how he could stand kissing another woman. Her heart was filled with bitterness. She felt it’s her luck that she didn’t accept him earlier. If she did then she would have been more heartbroken.
She slumped on the chair as she felt her legs weakened. Michelle doesn’t know what to say but she was so heartbroken. Feeling tired, she decided to take a day off.
Suddenly Esther’s words rang in her mind. “Isn’t this you want all along?”
Indeed isn’t this all she wants? She wanted this. Now she was getting this. What’s so sad about this?
“Dad… I will come tomorrow,” she said and got up from her seat.
“Tomorrow you have to go to the banquet. I am going overseas,” he said.
“I know you are not in the position to go. But just go. He is one of the biggest buyers in our company. Esther would be attending too. So.. you can stay with her,” he said.
Michelle said nothing but left the room.
Picking her phone from her purse… she dialed Esther’s number.
“Esther…” she called out instead of saying hello.
Esther knew something was wrong with her based on the tone.
“What happened?” Esther asked.
“Let’s drink,” Michelle said in only two words.
“Why?” Esther asked.
Esther was sure that Michelle was fine in the morning. She wondered what happened to her in a half-day.
When she didn’t get a single reply, “I will come,” Esther said, dropping her work at the side.
“I will send the location,” Michelle said.
“Fine,” Esther replied.
“I will hang up,” Michelle said and hung up the call.
They both met at a bar. By the time Esther reached the bar, Michelle already booked a private room.
By the time she entered, Michelle already ordered a lot of drinks. She even started drinking, she didn’t even wait for Esther to accompany her.
Esther said nothing and started drinking along with her.
“Sometimes… I feel like… I am using Cyrus too much. I hate that thing about myself,” Esther started as she started getting tipsy.
“At least… Cyrus is devoted to you,” Michelle said as she gulped her beer.
Esther was shocked for a moment when she heard that.
What do her words mean?
“Don’t tell me Nicholas cheated on you,” Esther said suddenly.
“Yeah… he cheated. You can’t say it’s cheating. As a man even he needs to take care of his wants,” Michelle said.
Setting her bottle aside, she tried to sit straight.
“Where do they provide food?” Esther asked.
“Nope! They give you lotsssss of drinkssss. Drink with me like a fissshhhhhhhhh!!!!” Michelle yelled as she stood on her sofa.
“Just sit down, you will fall,” Esther warned.
“I want to singgggg…” Michelle said.
Grabbing an empty bottle, she started singing like a heartbroken person pouring all her heart. The longer she sang the sober she became.
“BASTARD!!!!!!” she yelled.
Esther did nothing as she just observed Michelle.
“He spoke with my dad. He said he would court me properly but now… he was with another person!!! YOU FUCKER!!! YOU DESERVE TO BE SINGLE THE WHOLE LIFE!!!” Michelle yelled.
Esther knew she was beyond broken. She didn’t understand who the woman was. But she wanted to beat up that woman who hurt her friend.
“Who is she?” Esther asked.
“Celta, His secretary,” Michelle said.
“It’s Impossi…” Before Esther could complete her sentence, her words got cut off by him.
“I saw them kissing in the parking lot today in the restaurant,” Michelle said leaning on the headrest of the couch.
Tears streamed down her eyes as she said. Her focus was nowhere fixed. It’s as if her focus was fixed into nothingness.
Esther didn’t expect this to happen. Even she was shocked to hear this. And she knew how much a playgirl that Celta was. She heard about it from Cyrus. But because of her skills, he sent her to work under Nicholas. Esther just went near her and hugged her tight.
“Hmm… Let’s go to his banquet tomorrow.. Let’s find a handsome hunk as your date for the day and show him that even you can get a good man!” Esther said.
