Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid by Lisa Salman Chapter 134

14- Life Is Too Short! (Book 2)

As we sat on the couch, my hand was in his, and my frustration was pouring out. “We advertised everywhere that we are going on appointments, hundred percent. Still, I keep getting these stubborn customers who whine and complain that they didn’t know about the change. In the end, after a lot of arguments, we usually take them because well… they are our clients.”

He listened patiently while his rough thumb pad circled patterns on my palm. “That sounds so frustrating. It’s hard when you do everything you can to communicate a change and still have people complain.”

I nodded, grateful for his understanding. Exactly! But then we end up taking them anyways because they’re our clients and we don’t want to lose business.”

He agreed, “I know what you mean. I have clients who want to get drunk on someone else’s money. And if someone else isn’t available, they expect the club to tolerate the shit. Then there’s always the risk of a pervert who might be bullying a beautiful girl like you.”

He squeezed my hand mischievously. “But I think I have one advantage in my business.”

Curious, I turned my head to look at him. ”

What’s that?”

“We have trained bodyguards who can take care of those perverts. We take the safety of our clients very seriously.”

I smiled at the thought, “That’s good to know. But you’re the one who saved me from one, remember?” I teased him.

He chuckled, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. “Because you’re special, Eve.”

I blushed at the compliment.

“Thanks for listening to my silly problems. I hope I am not causing you this boredom…,” I said, leaning my cheek on the headrest.

“Shut up, Eve,” he replied, leaning forward, he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me to him, “That’s what friends are for.”

Friends? We might not be lovers, but we were definitely more than friends.

I looked up at him and tried to take my mind off this useless thought, “Umm. Do you ever worry about losing clients?”

He furrowed his brows, looking thoughtful. “Well, long legs, I do strive to provide the best service possible. But always remember that in your business you can’t please everyone. There will always be difficult clients and those as well who will decide to go elsewhere for various reasons.”

I nodded, understanding his point. “I guess you’re right. It’s just hard when you feel like you’re doing everything you can and still have people complaining.”

He kissed my forehead, “I know it can be tough. But you’re doing a great job, Eve. Your clients are lucky to have you.”

I smiled feeling a sudden rush of excitement, “Thanks, that means a lot.”

“Anytime,” he said, pressing a kiss again to my forehead. “Now, let’s forget about work for a bit and just enjoy each other’s company.” He whispered making my heart go crazy.

His touch did not feel imposing.

I leaned into him more and closed my eyes. Right now, it felt nice to just forget about work and focus on him.

“Someone is feeling sleepy.” I smiled when I heard his teasing voice and tried to snuggle against him.

“Yeah. Maybe a little.” I was here just for dinner and for his company. Not for spending the night.

“Do you want to go inside and use my bed?”

He shook his head when he saw me raising my eyes, “I won’t sleep beside you, Eve. I won’t even enter the room.” There was solemness on his face.

“Or maybe it’s time to leave?” I didn’t make a move to stand and just kept staring at his face.

He held my hands and kissed them one by one, “Then I will happily drop you to your place.”

I was still looking into his eyes maybe trying to assess his intentions.

“Adonis!”

“Hmm?”
