GoodReadHello 17 Chapter 151 +25 BONUS Chapter 151 Doubt flickered in my head, but before I could say anything, Ron beatto it.
"Ahem, ahem..." He cleared his throat, flashing this awkward grin. "Were you, like, listening at the door? You kinda freakedout." He was trying to be funny, but I kept it serious. "No, I wasn't eavesdropping. I just got here and didn't even have tto knock." Ron's smile stretched wider. "I'm just messing with youl Chill. So, what's going on?" He wavedin, and I stepped into his office..
Even though I'd been at the company a few days, this was my first there. And... wow. First impression? Not what I expected.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRon might be the deputy CEO, but since the CEO was barely around, he was basically running the show. You'd expect his office to scream sleek and professional, right? Nope.
The couch was shaped like a crescent moon, all bold and bright with clashing colors. Instead of those stiff office plants, there were real flowers everywhere, the bright blooms that totally caught your eye. And his desk? Covered in quirky little trinkets.
The whole setup had this soft, almost feminine vibe. If hadn't known this was Ron's office, I would've thought I was in the wrong place.
"You like it?" Ron asked, catchingeyeing everything.
I forced a small smile. Honestly, I wasn't feeling it. His office didn't exactly scream "serious deputy CEO." But, hey, it was his space. If he liked it, that's what counted.
"Your office has a very... unique style," I said, trying to sound nice.
Des. Even Ron laughed, gesturing forto sit on that funky couch. "Yeah, I'm not into boring, corporate our big boss says that about me. Oh, and about that call earlier? That was actually with him. You really gavea heart attack when you popped up out of nowhere." I chuckled, though inside I was still wrapping my head around how he just called the CEO "Bro" on the phone. From the sound of it, their relationship was tight-like not actual family, but pretty close. No-wonder Ron practically ran the show. "I'll make sure to knock next time," I said, keeping it professional.
"No biggie, no biggie. I'm just a little jumpy," Ron joked, makinglaugh for real this time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was so easygoing and relatable, a complete 180 from the aloofness you'd expect from someone at his level. Definitely not-like Jace.
Back when I worked at RiverwaveCorp, Jace was the CEO. During work hours, it didn't matter if we were in the office or at a meeting-he always insisted on being called "Mr. Johnston." To him, I was just his assistant, just another employee. Looking back now, the way he treated me... it wasn't about keeping things professional. He just didn't loveenough.
3.2 +25 BONUS Chapter 151 That thought hit like a punch to the gut, but I snapped out of it, remembering why I'd cto see Ron in the first place. "Mr. Shane, I'd like to take the afternoon off." "Toff?" Ron raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I've got something I need to handle," I replied, keeping it vague.
Ron nodded. "Sure, go ahead. Don't stress about the clients. I already talked to the boss, and he said he'l take care of it himself. Just focus on your stuff, and we've got the rest covered." "Huh?" I blinked, a little thrown. I hadn't even met the CEO yet. Why was he being so considerate?
Ron chuckled. "He's a good-looking guy with a big heart. Once you meet him, you'll probably fall for him." Fall for him?!
My face heated up, but after a second, I realized Ron probably just meant the CEO was as chift and nice as he was. So, I played along. "With a boss that amazing, I bet everyone does."
