Mr. CEO's Good Girl: His Addiction

Eveline looked at the room of her CEO, Killian, from a long distance with great anxiety. It was already lunchtime, but Killian didn't seem to want to leave the room this afternoon. Moreover, she was thinking of the right sentence to talk together with the notoriously cold and fierce Killian. Eveline herself had only seen Killian a few times, and that was only when the marketing staff held a meeting. But now, she began to dare to walk closer to the room. Eveline paused in front of the closed door with her rapid breathing. Eveline looked to the right and left. The quiet atmosphere of the office, as many of the staff had gone to lunch, made her feel even more tense. Eveline raised her right hand and knocked on the door several times.

Knock

Knock

“Come in!” The voice from inside the room instantly made Eveline's heart beat faster. Slowly, she opened the door, and found Killian typing on his laptop, with several documents open on his desk. Eveline closed the door again, and walked over to Killian's desk.

“S-sir...” Eveline stammered. Her fingers were even interlocked, anxious.

“Hmm? Yes?” Killian stopped typing and raised his head, looking at Eveline who was standing in front of him now.

“I...” Eveline paused for a moment, and caught her breath slowly. “My name is Eveline Mason, marketing staff. I have something to discuss with you, sir.”

Killian nodded his head vaguely. His flat face and cold body aura were very intimidating. Killian didn't talk much, but he could always read someone. Killian also knew all the staff working in his company, including Eveline.

“Sure. What did you want to talk to me about?”

“Actually, I... um... I...” Eveline looked down several times, she was very nervous.

“Say something quickly, Eveline. I don't have much time.” Killian interrupted.

“Of course, sir. Yes. I, I understand.” Eveline nodded her head quickly.

Killian gave a small glance at Eveline who still looked nervous. He sighed, then stretched out both hands, to go back to typing something on his laptop. While waiting for what Eveline would say to him now.

“Sir...” Eveline let out her breath slowly. Her courage seemed to have shrunk.

“Tell me.” Killian replied still with his eyes focused on his laptop.

“Sir, I need a favor. From you.”

“A favor? From me?” Killian raised his head, looking at Eveline in confusion.

“Yes, sir. Em no, sir. I mean... a favor from the company.” She stuttered.

“Sure, just tell me. What favor would you like to ask?” Killian continued to look at Eveline who was still in a state of high nervousness and tension. Eveline lowered her gaze several times, in order to avoid Killian's gaze.

“Sir, I...” Eveline again ventured to look at Killian there. “Sir, I need a loan.” She continued.

Killian nodded his head slowly. “Um-hmm... okay?”

Eveline swallowed her saliva with difficulty. “Sir, I need a loan for one billion, seven hundred and fifty million dollars.”

Hearing that, Killian immediately leaned back in the chair he was sitting in now. Killian's face turned hard. His hands were clenched into fists. As for Eveline, she stood up with an uneasy feeling.

'All my life, all I know is that women chase money, and will do anything for money. Is it possible that you are also like that woman? I think you're different from other women, Eveline. Everyone in this company has always been amazed by your performance so far. I thought I would give you a year-end corporate sponsorship. But it looks like I was wrong. My trust in all the staff in this company will remain the same in the end, and it comes down to money.' Killian's mind was tormented with his own thoughts. He couldn't help it at all.

Killian sighed loudly. “So, you tell me that you need a loan from this company for one billion dollars?”

Eveline shook her head faintly. “No, sir. I need one billion seven hundred and fifty million dollars.”

“I know what you are trying to say, Eveline.” Killian wrinkled his forehead for a moment.

“I know.” Killian nodded his head slowly. “For the first time in your two years with the company, you need help, and it's one billion seven hundred and fifty million dollars.”

Eveline shook her head faintly. “Sir, I don't need a favor. I need a loan, and I will return all of it. I will definitely pay it all back.”

“Okay, then tell me. Why do you think the company will give you the loan? Because only employees who have worked for the company for more than five years can avail of loans. Doing favors for the company will grants you a loan of one billion dollars.” Killian shook his head slowly.

“You are an ordinary staff in marketing, and this company, does not easily grant loans to employees. Even to employees who have been with the company for five years. And you've only been with the company for two years, Eveline.” Killian paused his words.

“How could you think that the company would approve your big loan so easily? What would an old employee who desperately needs a loan think, and the company doesn't give one, but we give you one?”

“I'm sorry, sir. I... I'm sorry.” Eveline tightened her grip

“Please, forget that I asked you for a loan. I'm leaving. So please, forget it. I'm sorry for interrupting your time. I'm really sorry.” Eveline walked hurriedly towards the door.

“Eveline, no company wants to grant such a big loan.” Killian's words instantly stopped Eveline in her tracks. Eveline turned around with a furious look on her face. “Especially when you want a loan of more than one billion dollars.”

“Sir, I really understand that. I even apologized about it to you. I'm really sorry. I acted without thinking about it at all beforehand. And I also really understand that your company can't grant me a big loan of more than one billion dollars. Just forget it, sir. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.” Eveline turned back and prepared to leave.

“I will grant it.”

Eveline's steps halted again. She turned around slowly, and looked at Killian expectantly. Killian did not look at Eveline at all, but the expression on his face was still hard. He sighed, before looking at Eveline.

“This company won't give the loan for you, Eveline. But I will grant it for you.”

“S-sir?” Eveline's body stiffened, and she froze there. A feeling of relief instantly filled her. Eveline felt that her tension was starting to dissipate now.

“But I have a condition, to give you the loan you requested.”

Eveline nodded her head quickly. “Of course, Sir. Anything, sir. Just tell me. And I will do anything.” The excitement inside Eveline instantly returned.

“You will have to spend the night with me.”

Eveline's face immediately became pale. Her breathing felt even more labored after hearing what Killian had just said to her. Her legs even felt weak now. “W-what?”

“If you want me to give you a loan, then you will have to spend the night with me, Eveline.” He said. “One night you spend with me, and I will give you a million dollars that you want. In cash.”

Disappointment, anger, and disbelief instantly filled Eveline now. She did not expect that her boss would say that to her. Eveline shook her head quickly. “What do you think of me, Mr. Killian?”

“You don't need to get upset about it, Eveline. It's a really simple offer from me. There's no compulsion at all.” Killian looked calmly at Eveline who was starting to get angry now.

“You spend the night with me, then you will get the money. It's really simple right, Eveline?”

Eveline glared at that. “One night. One million dollars. How about that?”

“You are a very crazy person, sir! I never knew that dealing with a rich person like you would be this disgusting. You think having a lot of money and all the wealth in the world makes you a great person?!”

Brak

Eveline hit Killian's desk hard with her clenched fists. Her face looked very red, with her rapid breathing. “You feel that you can even buy people too. Do you think you can talk to me all you want, just because you're my boss? Do you think you can think all you want about her, just because I'm your employee who needs money? I repeat to you for one more time, Mr. Killian. I'm not asking you for a favor. I asked you for a loan, and I will return it all. You think you can just look at me so condescendingly?!”

Eveline shook her head, and straightened up, slightly moving away from the position of Killian's desk who was silent and just looking at the furious Eveline there. “And let me tell you, Mr. Killian. I am not for sale!”

Eveline turned around and approached the door of the room, before falling back into silence, with her hand gripping the doorknob tightly. “And I really don't wish to see you ever again! Even when I remain in this company, I really hope that we will not meet.”

“So, you don't need the money right now?” Eveline turned her head with anger still clearly visible on her face. “If you reject my offer, you won't get the loan, Eveline”

Without saying anything else, Eveline walked out of Killian's room feeling angry. She even slammed the door to the room. But who would have thought, after Eveline's departure from the room, Killian smiled a little there. He leaned his body on the chair he was sitting on with a feeling of satisfaction.

“You are different, Eveline. I know, that the employees in this company, would never do anything despicable to earn money.”

On the other side, Eveline walked quickly back into her office, and immediately sat down on the chair with her breathing heavily. Sweat drenched her entire body. Anger could still be clearly seen in her eyes. The anger, and humiliation of Killian's words really hurt Eveline's pride right now.

“I hate rich people. It's unbelievable that for a moment I trusted that man. I hate him so much.”

Eveline couldn't focus on the work she was doing now. It was almost evening, in the next two hours, it would be time for the employees to go home. And there would be limited time for her to look for a loan to pay off her mother's medical bills at the hospital. Several times, Eveline looked at the small clock she had placed on her desk. She looked even more agitated now.

Drrrtt

Drrrtt

Drrrtt

Her cell phone suddenly vibrated, and Eveline quickly picked up the call on her cell phone there. “Yes? Hello?” Eveline got up and walked slowly towards the bathroom. She entered one of the bathroom stalls.

“Eveline?” The voice of Doctor Leo who had been helping to take care of her mother came over the cell phone call.

“Yes, doctor? What's wrong? Did something happen?” Eveline's breathing quickened.

“I'm sorry that I have to call you at this hour, Eveline. But there's something I need to talk to you about right now.”

“Yes-yes, doctor. That's no prob
