Loving the CEO novel Chapter 22

After I had finished eating, I saw that Emily was not back as yet. I was just about to unbuckle my seatbelt when I could hear her heels hitting against the concrete. Opening the passenger door, she sat down with a horrified expression on her face.

"Emily is everything okay? Why do you look so pale and terrified?"

"It's nothing. My mom said I should thank you for the sandwich and the soup. You can drive now. We can go back to work."

"Emily, are you sure everything is okay?"

"Yes, I am sure, just drive already," she nearly shouted. I knew something was wrong with her but she didn't want to tell me and I wasn't going to push her. I couldn't blame her I was still a complete stranger and her boss.

Chapter Eleven: Creepy Neighbour and a stubborn Boss

Emily

Tim, that's the bastard who I had seen when I had exited my apartment. He was the one that made that horrific expression come over my face when I went back inside Adam's car. Was that bastard following me? I asked myself when I saw him.

"Emily?" his voice came out. "What are you doing here?"

"I live here with my mom and what might you be doing here?" I asked suspiciously.

"My house has burnt down and I am now living here. If you had still worked at the bookstore you would've known. You had left on such short notice that Zack is very furious with you.

"Oh, I am sorry to hear and I will talk to Zack soon," I replied while faking a smile. I couldn't believe this. On the inside, I was experiencing a lot of mixed emotions.

Fear.

Disgust.

But fear is the most dominant of the two. The person whom I hate the most and am disgusted by, not to mention a bit creeped out by now lives in my apartment complex.

"So, what's your apartment number?" I asked, wanting to know how close to me he was.
