Working under the CEO novel Chapter 38

Mia couldn't believe it. She froze mid-sentence, interrupting a story about her messing up with Jane's hair dye and accidentally adding violet colour. That was years ago, and they laughed about it alright more like Mia laughed while her friend could stop screaming at the mirror. It was hilarious at that time.

"That's..." The assistant trailed off as she stared at the person she admired a lot-her idol.

"Noah Parker," Damon supplied brightly, an amused quirk to his lips. "And his wife Melon, if I remember correctly. Let's go say hello, shall we?"

Or maybe it's time for Mia to hide in the bathroom and scream instead of welcoming sober guests while drunk out of one's mind has the potential for mutual awkwardness. She never thought that in a corporate party she would be able to meet Noah Parker, the love of her life. Also happened to be an A list actor. Who invited him?

"Say hello?" She echoed. It may be possible she never sounded more out of her depth, and Damon touched her waist and gave her a reassuring grin.

"He's only human, I promise. And I'm pretty sure he'd like to meet you. His wife, too." Damon softly whispered by her side.

She snorted at that. Mia highly doubted they would ever want to meet someone like her. After all, she was merely a fan. Nothing more. Also, why was Damon not freaking out? It was a huge thing-an A-lister showing up at his party.

Keeping one hand on her waist, Damon cleared his throat. They were surrounded by Jane, her fiancée, Jake who Mia had invited and of course Andy, the organiser of the party. "Excuse me, but I need to borrow Mia for a minute."

The CEO turned her around; they both started marching towards where Noah and his wife are aptly watching a chocolate fountain. That was her idea by the way. Mia had insisted that chocolate when paired with strawberries and wine was heavenly. As they got closer, her heart started thudding loudly against her chest.

"Damon" She hissed, gripping his hands till her nails turned white. "I can't just walk up to Noah Parker."

Her boss raised a brow, smiling at her distressed expression. "Why not?"

"He's famous!" Mia huffed. Duh.

The CEO tried to stifle his laugh. Well, a little. Stopping just a few paces from the couple, he wrapped both arms around her waist and grinned. "So? Sometimes you say the cutest things."

Well, cause she's the cutest alright. Her mouth twitched into a tiny smile. That's not the point. Before she could say anything in her defence, Damon tugged them towards the star couple.

"Noah, bro!" Damon exclaimed, and alright, maybe he still might be a bit tipsy. Why would he talk to a celebrity like they have been friends forever? Mia thought, chewing on her lips.

"I didn't think you guys would make it."

Noah grinned. "It's been a while! I know! But I couldn't miss your success party. Congratulations brother"

Unexpectedly, Noah stepped forward to pull Damon into a hug. It's quick and easy, a clap on the back, and when they part, Mia had her jaw on the floor. Brother?! What in the world was going on? They must know each to be referring as brothers for crying out loud. Why didn't Damon tell her?

"Melon hey."

She softly smiled at Damon before giving him a side hug. "Hi. Congratulations boss man!"

"Oh please" The CEO nodded and simply pulled Mia forward, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Thank you. This is Mia, my girlfriend."

Melon pulled Mia in a hug who was left blinking, eyes hazy like they are when she's just woken up in the morning. Internally she's freaking out. She also didn't mind when Noah grinned at her and warned about tying down Damon. Her smile grew with each minute, gestures more and more exuberant. Never in a million years, she thought that a celebrity she admired from afar would turn out to be best friends with her boyfriend. Yeah, they were a couple now.

Damon and Noah went to the same school and have been friends since then.

All the while, Mia felt Damons eyes on her, staring at her with rapt attention.
