Book:My CEO Mate Published:2024-5-1

Mr Gold nodded at Mr Reid and went to the front row with out looking at me.
“Mate”
I heard a voice inside my head. My eyes kept following him till he sat down. I feel the same nervousness and excitement and chills inside of me. I was getting hotter and my mind felt messy.
“Riley” Cami called me.”What happened? Are you not feeling well? ” She asked.
I turned to look at her. Cami, Jason and Ethan were looking at me with serious look.
“I’m good” I said wiping my forehead with bare hands.
“Why is everyone from Golden Company here? ” I said in a low voice.
“Because Erick is a marketing manager in Golden Company” Mr Reid answered my question.
I looked at him shocked and then I felt it was so fair. Everyone here was from that company because Erick was from Golden company.
“Mr Reid” Melissa called Mr Reid from the front line and waved her hands at her.
“I’m coming ” said mr Reid and then turned to me ” See you around Riley ”
“OK sir” I nodded at him.
Mr Reid went to the front row and seated along with Mellisa and Rick.
Rick was there with Mellisa and he didn’t even say hi to me. And where was Anyee? Why isn’t she here if everyone was here? I got up and looked forward. I wanted to call Rick but he didn’t turned back.
“What are you doing Leyson? stay seated, don’t behave like spoiled brat. ” Jason pulled me and made me sat on the bench.
“I was just trying to look for Rick” I said.
“Who’s Rick? Why are you looking for other when I am here? ” Jason said as he pouted.
“Is Rick here? Where is he? ” Cami asked with excitement.
“I am your boyfriend and I’m next to you. Why are you so excited? ” Ethan asked. Jealousy was very obvious on his face…
“Yah tell me, who is Rick? ” Jason pulled my wrist and turned me towards him.
“Rick… “I tried to speak but Ethan inturupted.
“Do you so care about him? Tell me this too ” Ethan said to Cami.
“Ley tell them about Rick…. ” Cami said to me.
Then Ethan instantly pulled her face and said “I’m asking to you. ”
“OK, then listen. Rick… ” Cami couldn’t speak as Jason spoke again.
“No, not you Cami. I want to listen from Leyson? ” said Jason.
“Who is Leyson? ” Jenny turned back.
“Riley is Leyson. OK? Now tell me Cami, what is in between you and him? ” Ethan said.
“Ethan I want Leyson to answer first , not Cami ” Jason said.
“No Cami will first” Said Ethan “You keep asking your Leyson ”
“Why did he called her his Leyson?” Jenny asked again. She was looking at us from the point she turned back.
“What happened ? Who’s whose Leyson? And who said it? ” Sophy who was just talking to others asked Jenny.
“Why are you guys talking? Let Leyson speak? ” Jason said turning to Jenny and sophy.
“Who is Leyson? ” Sophy asked .
“Cami leave them, tell me who is the guy Rick? ” Ethan asked.
“He is our.. ”
“Leyson I want you to say it. ” Jason said again.
“Jason let Cami speak ” Ethan said from the other side.
“Ethan not Cami… Leyson will say” Jason said.
“Cami who’s Leyson? ” Sophy asked Cami.
“And why did he called her his Leyson? ” Jenny also asked Cami.
“Shut up all of you ” Cami shouted angrily at everyone closing her ears with both of her hands.
“You two, why are you eavesdropping others conversation? ” Cami said glaring at Sophy and Jenny.
Cami got furious at them and they looked embaraased.
“I was not eavesdropping, you were loud ” Jenny turned to the front scratching her head.
“Yes, what are you saying babe ” Sophy also turned to front pretending her boyfriend said anything.
“No, I didn’t said anything” Her boyfriend responsed.
………
Cami then looked at Jason and scolded ” Is there any difference if I speak first or Ley spoke first ? Won’t the other get chance to speak?” She folded her hand crossing in front of her chest.
“No but I wanted Leyson to answer first so… ” Jason tried to explain.
“Why is there any difference ? Or only one will get a chance to answer ? ” She looked at Jason with her eyes squinting small. And we both were awere this means danger.
“No no, both are same. Both are same. You guys can speak whoever want to speak. ” Jason uplift his both hands.
Cami was satisfied with the answer then she turned to Ethan with the same face ” You…. Would you also let me speak or got anger on your own imagination.” Cami questiond.
“Don’t be angry… I was just asking? ” Ethan said.
“Then what about the face you made when you asked? ” Cami asked further.
“What face? ” Ethan touched his face innocently.
“Nothing” Cami looked sideways and pouted.
Ethan pulled Cami in his hug and give a peck on her cheek “Don’t be angry now” he try to soothe her.
“You are too brave ” Jason said to Ethan.
“Why so ?” Ethan asked.
“Because we are afraid of Cami when she squints her eyes small.” I said to Ethan.
“Yeah, she becomes dangerous and you kissed her then” Jason said.
Cami hit on his head hard.
“Ouch, ” Jason exclaimed. “It hurts”
“Is she that dangerous? ” Ethan pulled Cami into her hug. Cami blushed uncontrollably at his action.
“Leyson, it’s your turn ” Jason spoke looking at me .
“Cami… ” I teased Jason with Cami’s name.
“Jason…. ” Cami also supported me.
“What Cami? You answered him right? Now my turn to know the truth. ” Jason said.
“Rick was my friend when I worked at Golden Company” I told Jason.
“You worked at Golden? ” this time Ethan asked me.
“Yeah… Among one month ” I said.
“What happened then? ” Jason asked.
“There was annual party of Golden Company and I accidentally spilled my drink on the CEO ” i said.
“What happened then? ” Jason asked excitedly.
“Don’t you know where she works now? ” Cami rolled her eyes at Jason.
“He fired you? ” Ethan asked me.
“Sort of ” I said.
“Why are you so interested? ” Cami asked Ethan.
“No, I’m not ” Ethan defended himself.
I heard some noises behind . I turned back with curiosity. There the bride was coming. She was wearing a white marriage dress. She
looked very good in her dress. The dress perfectly fit her body and showed all the necessary curves. She was smiling brightly and holding a banquet made of different coloured roses in her hand. In the top of her head was a veil adding beauty to her. Her dress was so long and the back side of the dress was falling to the ground till the entrance of the church.
There were three bridesmaid of sister Skyler. All of them were so beautiful. They all were wearing pink dress till their knee. They have decorated a flower throne on their heads. One of them was at the front with a basket full of red roses. She was scattering flower to the path of the bride. And two other bridesmaid were holding the bride from each side.
“Cami…. Look” I asked Cami to look back and she gasped in shock. She looks really beautiful today I thought.
“She had really waited for this day ” Cami said her eyes filling with a layer of tears.
“Ahe looks really beautiful today” Jason complimented sister Skyler.
“Of course, she is beautiful ” Amo replied.
The bride was slowly moving to the stage, looking at each of the guests smiling brightly at them.
She looked at us too. “Congratulations” I and Cami said to her…
“Thank you ” she was smiling all the way to the stage while she whispered to us.
She slowly reach to the stage and Erick came down the stage and take her hand in his and then he took sister Skyler up to the stage.
I then shifted my gaze from them to the front row. And my eyes get locked with Mr Gold’s eyes. I felt a weird sensation inside me but I ignored it..
Liam got up and went near Mr Gold. He bent down in and said something to the CEO. He was so furious.
And for a while Mr Gold and Liam kept discussing . I was looking at them non stop.
“Guys remember the play at our school ?” Jason speaked.
“what play Jason?” Cami asked him.
“The play that was held just before I left the school. ” Jason said.
“Yep, remembered there was a part where boy purposed girl for grand marriage” I remembered that “you said you want to play the main lead there ”
“Yeah and today I’m feeling the same way. ” He said “I wanted to play the main lead today too.”.
“You wanna have a grand marriage? “I asked .
“Something like that, but there is more to it “Jason replied.
In the front row, Mr Gold got up and slowly came towards me a bit by bit.
When he came a bit far from us Jason said “this marriage made me remember the the dream I used to have in the old days. “
