Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands-Chapter 132
132 Summoned
“Yeah?” I said questioningly.
“Nevermind...wave to me from the window or send me a text when you’re safe in your room,” EROS said.
“Sure. Good night,” I said while feeling slightly confused.
“Goodnight,” he replied.
I decided to go to the balcony of my room to wave down at EROS who had gotten out of his car to lean leisurely against it. When he saw me waving at him, he lifted his hand in acknowledgment. I watched him drive away in his flashy car while I giggled a little to myself. I got to say, that was the first time a guy asked me to wave at them to make sure that I made it to my room safe and that was exactly why I had decided to give it a try. There’s a first time for everything or so they say.
That night I went to bed with a nagging feeling at the back of my mind like I had forgotten something important. But for the life of me, I didn’t know what it was. That nagging feeling brought with it insomnia and I tossed and turned in bed while I tried to dig deep into my soul to find out what was causing that feeling. After around an hour of deep thought, I finally realized that after all that talk with EROS, he never got around to telling me the reason why he wanted to become a superstar.
...
“He asked to see me?” I asked in complete disbelief. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
After a long and tiring day of going around with EROS and his team for his various jobs, we arrived back at the office early in the evening. EROS still had dance practice for one of his shows and it amazed me where he got his energy from.
.....
“Yes, the CEO has asked to see you in his office. Do you know what this is about?” Mark asked me in a hushed whisper as he came to stand closer to me.
“Aren’t you supposed to tell me that? Why does he want to see me? Did I...do something wrong?” I asked, feeling slightly panicked about this.
Although I ran into the CEO yesterday when I was waiting for EROS, it never occurred to me that he would want to see me the next day. For some reason, I had a feeling that it wasn’t for something good. Mark seemed clueless as well as to why the CEO would want to see me.
“Regardless, he’s waiting for you now so you better head up there. You know where his office is, right?” Mark asked with clear concern.
“Yes, I know where it is,” I replied.
“Well, I wish that I can at least walk you there, but my house is also on fire right now...” Mark said before he heaved a long sigh.
“That’s ok. I don’t think it’s anything serious. I’ll be back in no time,” I said more to reassure Mark than to fool myself.
“Alright. Good luck, Elena,” Mark said and then he was off.
I followed the same route that EROS took to the CEO’s office yesterday while feeling glad that I paid some attention to the way yesterday. Despite the brave front that I put on in front of Mark, I didn’t have the confidence to meet with the CEO at all. The fact that I didn’t know why he wanted to see me seemed to place me at a complete disadvantage.
The door to the elevator opened and I stepped foot out onto the CEO’s floor. I was here in this exact spot with EROS yesterday.
‘Don’t go near him, Elena’
I heard EROS’s voice and warning just like he was standing right here next to me, and it gave me the chills. When I readily agreed with him last night, I honestly never thought that I would ever need to get close to the CEO. It wasn’t like I could turn down this meeting, though.
Maybe just talking to him in his room wasn’t exactly going ‘near him’. ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
“Hello. It’s Elena here...” I spoke a little loudly after knocking on the door to the CEO’s office.
“Come in,” the CEO replied immediately.
After taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door to his office firmly and walked in. The CEO was seated behind his huge work desk. The atmosphere in the room and how everything was decorated and positioned, made the CEO look very powerful and overbearing.
“I heard that you wanted to see me...” I said politely.
“Take a seat here,” he said as he gestured to the chair positioned on the opposite side of his desk.
I smiled politely at him before approaching the chair and sitting down on it.
I could feel his eyes on me, and it made me slightly uncomfortable. Now that I could see him up close, I had to say that some men really do age like fine wine. Although I’ve been hanging around the social scene for many years, I have never had the chance to meet this man face to face like this.
“I’m Simon, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you properly. Sorry that it took so long for us to have this meeting,” Simon said with a smile that seemed genuine.
“I’m Elena. It’s an honor to meet you,” I replied smoothly.
“The honor is mine. I guess you’re wondering why I’ve asked to meet with you today,” Simon said casually.
I didn’t know what to say to that so I just kept silent while putting on one of my well-trained smiles.
“I would like to apologize for the unsightly display yesterday. It was unfortunate that you had to witness that and I’m sure that it didn’t leave a good first impression for me,” Simon said before he chuckled a little as if recalling that awkward incident.
Well, if that was it then this meeting wouldn’t turn into anything difficult or ugly. I suddenly felt relieved that I was probably worried for nothing at all.
“There’s nothing for you to worry and of course, I will never speak of it to anyone so you can rest assured about that as well,” I said in anticipation of what he wanted.
