Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands - Chapter 130

130 His Hidden Secret

This was where guests were supposed to sit while they waited for their turn to talk to the CEO, I guessed. Although it felt like many hours had gone by, the reality was that only around 15 minutes had passed by before EROS emerged from the CEO’s office.

I heard some sounds of the two men talking close to the door and it sounded like they were arguing about something that I didn’t understand. Feeling panicked, I stood up from the sofa just in time to see the door to the CEO’s office open with a loud bang. EROS strode out followed by an older man who could be none other than the CEO.

The CEO of GH Entertainment appears in the news quite often due to the nature of his work and so I sort of recognized his face, although this was the first time that I’ve met him in person.

“I’m not quitting. We talked about this already…” EROS said very loudly, and it was clear that he was upset.

“That’s ridiculous. You’re my only son and heir. How can you say something so irresponsible? Just listen to yourself!” the CEO yelled loudly as he followed EROS out of the room.

The two men had their eyes on me, and I could tell that the CEO was surprised that there was someone waiting in the hallway. Plus, I had a feeling that he had no idea who I was. So how should I introduce myself?

Hi, I’m Elena, hired to be EROS’s fake girlfriend to teach him about love and all that…

“Who’s this pretty lady?” the CEO asked as his eyes scanned my body from the top of my head to the tip of my toes.

His gaze made me feel extremely uncomfortable. The CEO looks charming and extremely charismatic despite his age, and I could tell that the expensive suit that he had on covered a well-toned body. His face was a prime example of how men looked better with age just like fine wine.

…..

“This is Elena,” EROS introduced me grumpily without explaining who I was.

“Elena…” the CEO said my name as if he was trying to recall me from his memories.

That would be quite challenging because I was sure that we had never met before. I plastered on a polite smile as the CEO walked past EROs towards me. Suddenly, he was towering over me as his eyes continued to stare at my face. He’s too close and it was starting to feel suffocating, but I wasn’t sure how to push him away. He’s the CEO…

“If that’s all that you have to say, we’re done for the day. Let’s go, Elena,” EROS said as he came in between the CEO and me.

“Right…we should leave. Good evening, Sir,” I said politely.

“Good evening,” the CEO said in low whisper.

EROS quickly led me away from the CEO. I could feel his stare on my back as I walked away. Why did he seem so interested in me? Did we ever meet before? I doubt that was the case, though.

Maybe he just found me attractive. I shiver ran through my body at the disgusting thought. He’s too old and I wouldn’t be interested in him even if was the CEO.

What truly caught my attention was what I had coincidentally overheard while the two men were arguing. I glanced over at EROS when we arrived back on his floor. He seemed more at ease now that he was no longer in the presence of the CEO, but his mood had not completely improved.

“Dinner?” EROS suggested.

“Is this an invitation?” I asked teasingly.

“It is if you say ‘yes’,” EROS replied.

I did have something that I wanted to ask him so…

“Ok, but is it fine for you to eat out?” I asked.

“I thought that you could cook something,” EROS replied casually.

“Stop pushing your luck. I can order in some food. Any special requests?” I offered the best that I could do.

“I can eat anything…” he replied immediately.

“Ok…” I responded.

…

Not surprisingly, I found myself in EROS’s living room after the food got delivered to us. I didn’t even bother to ask myself how I ended up here and all alone with him. I sat opposite him at his dining table as we ate our non-elaborate dinner. It tasted great. Comfort food was the best.

“I didn’t know that you’re the CEO’s only son…” I said softly.

EROS eyes widened in surprise at my words before he nodded his head slightly as if recalling that I must have heard what the CEO had said just now.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to overhear the conversation between you two…” I quickly apologized.

“It’s not your fault. That old man was screaming his head off…for no good reason…” EROS replied before taking another bite of his food.

“Haha…I guess you’re right about that…” I said as I started laughing a little.

“It wasn’t like I was intentionally trying to keep it a secret or anything. I just didn’t think it was something I should have written all over my forehead, that’s all,” EROS said, obviously referring to the fact that he’s the CEO’s son.

My eyes widened at his straightforward words. Who would have thought that the famous EROS is the only son of the CEO, and therefore, the sole heir to this entertainment empire.

“Of course. It’s completely up to you if you want other people to know or not. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. I promise…” I quickly said to reassure him that his secret was safe with me.

“Thanks. People probably find it hard enough dealing with me as just EROS without needing to add in even more complexities of me being that man’s son on top of it all…” EROS muttered darkly.

He wasn’t wrong about that. I wondered why he hates the CEO so much, but I didn’t dare to ask. It had absolutely nothing to do with me and that was exactly what I told myself. I shoved the last of my food into my mouth as dinner came to an end.

“Well, I should head back now. Thanks for having me, I’ll see you tomorrow at work…” I said as I got up from my seat.

“Wait…” EROS said as he also got up.
