By Mistake
10- Married A CEO By Mistake
“I will kill her! I want to murder her! How dare she! How dare she!” Chloe was screaming at the top of her lungs. Kyle was trying his best to handle her but she was getting out of control.
The pieces of ceramic plates were lying in the living room. She had broken most of the table wear, glass wear, delicate deco pieces.
When Kyle could not take it anymore he pushed her towards the couch with full force, “STOP IT! I SAID STOP IT!”
The moment he shouted, she became quiet. Silent tears were running down her cheeks. Then abruptly she stood up and headed towards the door.
“Hey. Where are you going?”
“I am going to kill her.” She wiped her face with the back of her hand when Kyle held her by the waist and hugged her tightly.
“Shh sweetheart! Shh!” He was saying sweet words in her ear and she was standing there in his embrace without uttering a single word. Her shoulders were shaking slightly with every hiccup.
After loads of pampering, she, at last, agreed to sit on the couch with a blanket around her, holding a cup of hot chocolate.
“What got into you, Chloe? What made you so riled up?” He had never seen her behaving in this
manner.
“Abigail.” She looked up to him, “She is the head manager of the program on the state level. I just came to know about it today when I went to attend the meeting. It was a surprise for me, Kyle.”
She knew she had hit the right mark when she saw blood draining from his face, “That’s exactly how I felt Kyle. Something is going on.”
“What do you mean by that?” He sat beside her.
“She is sleeping with someone.”
“Abigail? No. Not possible.” Kyle shook his head not believing this at all.
Thankfully that did not rile her up. Though she did want to shoot between his eyes.
“Really? Not possible? Because she is your Ex? Well! I have got news for you. She is definitely sleeping with someone. Either Ethan Hanks or Hunter Levisay. Come to think of this, Kyle.” She placed her mug on the glass top, “She could not get the job that day and now overnight she is sitting there as my head and reporting directly to the CEO.”
“Chloe. We both know very well that she knows about furniture more than any of us. This might be a well deserving designation.” He tied his arm around her, “What matters right now is… us! WE both have got each other…”
“Oh come on, Kyle.” She shoved his arm away, “Can you be practical for a minute? She is doing it t

o get power. She was using you before. And after failing to get it from you now she is aiming to use more powerful people for her purpose.”
Kyle was quiet for a minute. Chloe’s brilliance and wittiness had always attracted him. Even when he was with Abigail.
“What do you want me to do, honey?”
“Nothing. Don’t do anything. Just let me handle.” She said quietly and then got up to rinse her mug. Abigail had forgotten her place. It was time to remind her where she belonged.
And who could do it better than Chloe?
Chloe thought with a smirk. She had always been the prettier and smarter than Abigail. She knew how to play it. She would use her beauty to lure the president and vice president.
She would never allow Abigail to win.
Today there was an extra commotion going on, in the office.
“Hey what’s going on around here? Is there some kind of celebration which I should know of?” She stopped a girl from her team.
“Oh. Today our CEO is back so all of them are just thrilled. Though he never glances towards any of us. But it’s just our happy hormones when he is around.” She winked at Abigail before going towards her desk.
Abigail heaved a deep sigh while entering her office.
Her first meeting with Hunter Levisay was due. She was bound to meet him by today or tomorrow as a head manager along with her team.
Today Molly had offered, to pick her up for shopping. She wanted to plan a surprise birthday for her boyfriend and wanted help from Abigail.
Abigail could not wait to meet her friend so she decided to engross herself in her work. Chloe had taken a sick leave for three days. Which was comforting for her and her team.
She kept on waiting for the call from the CEO but he must be too damned busy to meet the newly appointed ones.
At last in the evening, when she started to relax, finally she got a message from Molly that she was waiting in the hotel lobby downstairs. Throwing a glance at the wall clock she smiled and started collecting her things.
Just then she got a call on her intercom from Ethan. “Abigail? Ready for the intro meeting with Hunter?”
Abigail’s heart skipped a beat, “Now? My team must be ready to leave. Can’t we do it tomorrow?”
She knew that was very unprofessional of her.
“Relax. It would hardly take half an hour. All newly appointed ones will get to know him in this official meet up. It’s a custom. Hunter is very particular about knowing his employees personally.”
Now why she felt a trace of amusement in his voice?
Taking a deep breath she said, “Ok, Ethan. On it!”
After that, she sent a message to her team to get ready for the meeting and to prepare well for it. Just in case it turns into a business discussion.
Her next call was to Molly.
“Hey, Moll. Can you wait for thirty minutes? I just have to meet our CEO. I will be there in no time. Why don’t you order coffee till then?”
“Ooh, la la! CEO! I guess I won’t mind Abi! But do remember to give him your best smile. After all … you are his neighbor too!”
Abigail chuckled at that. Her friend was just impossible!
Smiling to herself she headed towards the conference room along with her team. All her teammates were chatting animatedly.
Being their boss, Abigail never tried to intimidate them and was becoming quite popular among them. She was still thinking about Molly when the heavy door opened and someone entered the room with Ethan Hanks following him.
Abigail at once stood from her seat along with others and then froze at her place.
No. It was a mistake. It has to be some mistake.
Hunter Levisay introduced himself as the CEO of the company and welcomed them all. He even apologized to them for calling up so abruptly because he could not wait to meet the additions to his team.
But Abigail was looking at him open mouthed. Whatever he was telling them, she was not able to listen. Thankfully nobody noticed her reaction. Because they might be busy ogling at him. Just like her.
Well! Nobody except one man. Her eyes fell on Ethan who was looking at her with concern but Abigail…
Oh, man! She did not know what to do. Should she try to run away?
How was this even possible? After the introduction Hunter wished them luck and left the room, promising them to meet them again. Everyone started leaving the room one by one, singing praises of their boss until she was sitting there all alone.
She did not know how long she sat there until the door opened and someone walked near her.
“Abigail! Abi!” Molly was standing there giving her a worried look. “What are you doing here all alone. You are not responding to my calls. What is it? Are you alright?”
Abigail was not moving. She was staring at Molly like she had developed two heads.
“Abi! Tell me. What happened? You were just fine an hour ago.” Molly held her cold hands, “For God’s sake. Speak up, Abi!”
Abigail raised her eyes slowly shaking her head, “This is not possible, Moll. Tell me it’s a dream. Or maybe he got himself cloned or invented a Xerox copy of himself.”
“What are you saying? I can’t understand. Who are you talking about?”
“I am talking about Henry. I was hallucinating about him.”
“Henry? What about him?”
“He … he ..” Abigail swallowed her spit, “he is the CEO of Levisay Company.”
“CEO?” Molly frowned a bit and then a small laughter escaped her lips, “No, Abi. He is not. Hunter Levisay is the CEO. Did you meet Henry? Did he follow you here? Tell me and I will punch him in
the balls.”
“Henry is NOT Henry … but Hunter Levisay.”
“What?” Molly was sure her friend had got some head injury.
Abigail nodded looking at her friend’s shocked face, “Yes. That’s right. Henry IS Hunter Levisay. Henry IS the CEO. That day when I thought I am marrying a struggling model. I actually ended up marrying a CEO by mistake!”
