Love Mr. CEO
CHAPTER 17

Adriana smiled, she cupped Keira's cheeks and stared fixedly at her, "I'm just kidding. You're like you used to be the same, very sensitive" Adriana chuckled at the end of her words.

Keira brushed off Adriana's hand and pursed her lips like a child sulking, "Sucks!" Scream it slowly.

"Have forgotten it, Or she will be your match" Adriana sneered with a laugh at Keira's gaze, "Argh. You're such a bitch!" Keira grabbed the pillow and hit her towards Adriana.

They argue a little while laughing until the person who heard it from the living room just bobbing heads, "I think they're grown but they're not" Melvin said.

There those who had been exhausted by their little argument stopped and sat down again.

With a gasp of breath Adriana grabbed her drink and took a sip, "Ah, you're so agile" she told Keira.

Keira smiled, "Of course!" He said with pride.

"By the way you're going to take care of Charlotte's 2nd company right here?" Adriana asked, Keira nodded. "My father said by putting me here so I could be with you back and run this business well. You know we're partners if I take care of the factory company" said Keira who was very excited.

"Really! I'm curious about your business skills" Adriana put down her bottle, she checked her phone and there were some calls from the office.

"Oh my God! There seems to be something very important, I have to go to the office immediately" Adriana said hurriedly picking up the bag and tidying up her clothes.

"I'm coming!" Exclaimed Keira, Adriana nodded and now both have shot towards Adriana's company.

.....

'Arriving at Adriana Company... 

Kylie approached Adriana, "Miss something is wrong with the finances in this company" Kylie explained with a worried tone while giving a file of financial statements.

Adriana frowned, "This..." He was surprised while reading his documents, he closed the document again, his expression looked flat as usual.

"Call all employees in the finance division to face my room, call Jeffrey immediately for my room" he said in a cold tone, he stepped into his room with Keira.

"Are you okay?" Asked Keira who was sitting next to Adriana, Adriana nodded her head.

The door opened, it was seen that 5 employees in the finance division had been in his room except for Jeffrey, his assistant.

"Where's Jeffrey?" Adriana asked, as she remembered she had no news after the party she was so worried about him that she tried to find him, but there was no answer or news.

"She's not in Miss's job" one of her employees said.

That made Adriana uneasy without certainty!

But after a while he was surprised by someone's arrival.

"Good day, Miss" said a young man who entered her room.

Adriana was silent and dumbfounded!

Yep! He is Jeffrey!

While her right hand was bandaged, Adriana stared at him wryly..

However unlike Keira, he looked at the young man in surprise.

"You? Why did you come here?" Keira asked subconsciously making Adriana's attention distracted to him, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Her question did not understand with Adriana's gaze.

Jeffrey frowned, he remembered about the woman, "Ah, you're that strange woman?" Ask him plain.

Adriana held back her laughter.

Keira snorted, "My name is Keira! Remember that. Not a weird woman!" His words did not accept.

Jeffrey just muttered nonchalantly.

"Adriana, he's the guy who sucks me up" she told Adriana.

Jeffrey sighed then looked coldly at the two of them, "You? Miss Adriana's friend?"

"I'm his brother!"

"Oh"

Keira clenched her hands and then threw away her face in annoyance, "Your god... I'm so excited to hear your discussion! Keira she's my employee, I'm sorry for her" Adriana said.

Keira couldn't take it, "Ana, why are you defending this man? He's just your assistant, right? He should be the one apologizing, not you!"

"Enough!" The lazy Jeffrey made this thing long, he then walked up to Adriana and Keira.

"I'm sorry for my nature. One more thing, social circumstances have nothing to do with an apology,"

Keira was silent, and so was Adriana. He had only seen this cold and indifferent Jeffrey for the first time.

"Directly to the point, what's calling me? If it wasn't for something important I'd like to go to rest because of an incident your brother committed" Jeffrey said.

Adriana who has been calm then explained, "There are problems in finance, the amount of expenditure is very large even though this month only spent 4.5 billion. But in this document it is written up to 18 billion"

"18 billion?" Jeffrey, who had been acting ordinary at first, was shocked. He looked at his 5 employees, "Capturing in this way would be difficult, if you want to get the guilty easily is an accusatory nature and scare them" he murmured.

Jeffrey then looked at Adriana, she smiled at her smile.

Adriana who saw it became a mistake. I don't know why his smile made his faith so shaky.

"I found out who the money was corrupt to, I have evidence and from the receipt of the funds it was one of my acquaintances, he told all to me and his person was..." Obviously Jeffrey, twisting his body in front of 5 employees, stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the employees, "Yes, he's the one" Jeffrey added.

Adriana's gaze stared at one of her employees, she looked and approached, "Could it really?" Adriana asked doubtfully.

Jeffrey nodded, but his gaze shifted to one of the employees who looked suspicious, looking agitated and his palms sweaty.

"Hey, are you sick?" Now Jeffrey walked up to the man and stood in front of him. He looked at the man who lowered his head not daring to look at him.

"Say! I noticed earlier I pointed at one of your friends, why are you so suspicious?"

Adriana who doesn't understand plus doesn't understand Jeffrey's way.

"Safety!" Shouted, Securite came and faced Jeffrey.

"Immediately check his study, his laptop and some history on his phone immediately, have the other team help and secure him don't let him escape" Securite nodded, he immediately took the man without hearing his words which he was not even given time to defend himself.

"Jeffrey you... How do you know he did it?" Adriana asked a little doubtfully.

Jeffrey turned around, then looked at Adriana, "If you steal something, then there are some people who are dragged with you. Then you're interrogated even the interrogator says you have evidence and everything, how did you react?"

Adriana digests Jeffrey's words, though,

Suddenly his smile broadened, "Wow! Your trick is great!" Praise Adriana

"Thank you, it's actually just a simple trick but I'm very surprised if there are employees who even corrupt up to that much"

Adriana was both happy and relieved, she approached Jeffrey. With attention he noticed Jeffrey's wounds.

"Is it still very painful? Take a leave of absence back for your recovery"

"No need, I want to resign" he said, issuing an envelope of resignation.

Adriana who initially looked happy immediately turned sad.

"W-why?" Adriana took the envelope and read the letter inside.

"I have to go back to England" to be honest, which made Adriana even sadder.

Keira is very confused with Adriana.

"Just let her go, after all if I become her boss will fire her for her disrespectful treatment"

Adriana stared intently at Keira,

Keira was silent. He hated this man a little because he loved to touch him and also distort his feelings.

Jeffrey ignored Keira's words, "Thank you for accepting me here, I'm happy to work here. See you around"

Jeffrey turned his body and left Adriana's room.

Adriana directly sat her body in the chair, it felt her body was soulless. Feels very weak because this is the last time he'll be close to Jeffrey.

"Adriana.I feel a little bit of something weird about you and that guy"

"He's the one who made me fall in love" Keira widened her eyes in disbelief, "Seriously? D-he?"

Adriana nodded, "Maybe the effect of being betrayed by her spell made her nature change" Her great-grandson softly.

Understanding that, Keira felt guilty. He said something bad to the man, he might want to leave because of his nature.

He leaves Adriana alone and runs after Jeffrey, "Wait!" it was her scream that made Jeffrey look at her.

"Please don't go, I-I'm sorry"

"No need, it's not your fault and I'm not leaving because of it, it's gone? Don't waste my time"

Jeffrey continues his steps while leaving Keira in place, but moments later his left hand is pulled by Keira. Losing their balance, they both fell over Keira while Jeffrey was under her.

A few seconds into the net they looked at each other without one blinking.

The awakened Jeffrey immediately pushed Keira's body to rise, "Sorry I didn't accidentally," while standing Keira helped Jeffrey to get up.

Jeffrey felt a loud thump from the incident and then just tried to hide his nervousness now.
