Love Slave to My Dev Chapter 16

16 The Devil Boss Arrives

Various photos which seed like paparazzi shots of Ace with various beautiful won on his arms or locked in his embrace started showing on the screen as the host began narrating through the list of his ex-girlfriends and others that he’s had an affair with. I recognized so of the famous nas from various industries. Movie stars, singers, supermodels, and other socialites.

A sigh escaped my lips as I turned off the television. Who cares about his love affairs anyways?

Ti to go back and focus on hunting for a new apartnt. Ti is of the essence here and I didn’t have the ti to worry about that crazy player guy. He’s the CEO of the company that I work for now, but it didn’t really have anything to do with . I knew that I was way down there on the corporate ladder, and he was way up there so the chances of us ever eting again or working together was next to non-existent.

After finding a couple of reliable-looking real estate agencies and noting down their address, I decided to visit them soon to see if they could recomnd

a place that fitted my requirents and budget. After taking a quick shower, I tiptoed into the bedroom before getting into my bed. My mother was already sound asleep by that ti.

That night when I lay alone in my bed, my head was filled with thoughts of Ace and Kyle as the two seed to fight against each other in taking up the space in my mind. The image of Kyle’s smiling face and the things that he said to

kept entering my head. Even though, I tried to push thoughts about him away from , I wasn’t exactly successful in doing so. When I closed my eyes, the scene of us together would pop up and replay itself behind my closed eyelids. Then I would see mory of Ace’s cocky smile and how he forced money on . I didn’t even know his na until like...just now. It was a while before I finally fell asleep from a mix of exhaustion and confusion.

...

The next day everything seed a lot more chaotic when I arrived at the office. The chaos started even before I stepped foot inside of the office building. The employees had ford small groups here and there in the company’s lobby and also in front of the company’s entrance. Walking past a couple of groups made

quickly realize that they were gossiping frantically about the new CEO.

That wasn’t surprising since the change in CEO was supposed to be a big news to everyone. However, the content of their gossip caught my attention. Basically, there was a wild mix of the good and the bad. The staff seed to enjoy sharing their version of gossips with each other because they spoke quite loudly, and I didn’t have any trouble overhearing them.

“He is the only son of the current CEO and I also heard that he’s a devil at work”

.....

“Everyone who worked with him before said that he’s super scary to work for. He’s so strict and so an, although he’s supposed to be very good at what he does,”

“I heard that he used to work abroad in many countries, and he has a good track record of setting up his own companies. It’s been a while now since then, so he has finally decided to take over his family business from his father,”

“That’s not all. There are loads of rumors surrounding him. Have you heard?”

“I heard that he has a lot of affairs with the people that work with him, especially the beautiful won. He changes his secretary very often. I don’t know how much of those rumors are true, though,”

“I heard that he’s a genius. Apart from his family business, he has a lot of businesses that he created on his own. I heard his father wanted him to take over this company a long ti ago, but he refused, saying that he’d rather start sothing on his own. And then after establishing so many successful companies, he’s now back to turn this company around and take it to greater heights!”

“I know that there’s so many rumors about him and it’s pretty scary, but I think we should wait and see how he does. I’m just hoping that the rumors about him being a devil CEO and a devil boss isn’t true,”

I walked along the building’s lobby as these rumors floated around in the air and entered my ear. I didn’t need to make an effort to hear them because the people were talking loud enough for them to be heard. I quickly made my way up the elevator to the auditorium where I would be attending the second day of my orientation.

Surprisingly, I ran into Kyle right in front of the auditorium. He was leaning casually against the wall, and I wondered if he also heard the rumors from downstairs and the news that the company had gotten a new CEO. He waved and smiled at

the mont that he spotted , and I found myself smiling back at him naturally. The way that his beautiful smile lit up his face made

believe that he was such an angel. I approached him with a smile on my face.

“Good morning. You’re here quite early.” I said before I flashed him a smile.

“I could say the sa thing about you. Excited for the second day of orientation?” Kyle asked.

“Yes, there’s supposed to be so team activities today, so I’m looking forward to that. Honestly, the lectures yesterday was a little bit boring and a little scary with all the rules and everything,” I confessed my honest thoughts.

“I know, right. Let’s enjoy our orientation together today,” Kyle said invitingly.

I had a feeling that it was going to be a good day already.

“Sure...” I replied with another smile.

Soon it was ti for the orientation to start and we made our way into the auditorium. Kyle invited

to take the seat next to him and that was what I did. The second day of the orientation started right on ti with the sa middle-aged won coming up on stage to make an announcent. Her announcent shocked everyone in the auditorium, including myself.

“Listen up everyone. As you have probably seen on the news, our company has had a change in managent. As of today. Mr. Ace Hill will be taking over as the company’s CEO. And I am delighted to share with you today that Mr. Ace has taken his ti to share a word of inspiration with you to mark the start of your journey at this company. Please put your hands together for Mr. Ace, our new CEO,” the woman announced before stepping aside and clapping her hands together.

There was a mont of silence as everyone was stunned by the sudden announcent that the new CEO would be giving a welco speech to the new employees who have just joined the company. After a mont of stunned silence, the auditorium exploded with the loud sounds of people clapping their hands in applaud. The spotlight turned on and focused on a man as he walked up on stage and stood behind the podium.
