Chapter 69 - Depressed Fiancé Of CEO Silver
Maya had waited for the man to call her but it had been two days and there was no call. She was standing near the window of her bedroom. At first she thought that she wouldn't contact him so she remained passive. However, when he didn't, she called him and she was angry enough to lash out on him. She was in for a shock when his phone was switched off. She called him a number of times, but his phone's status was the same. In order to double-check whether the work was done or not she thought of checking it with Reyna.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Maya," Reyna greeted very politely.
Maya came straight to the point. "Has Dawn Wyatt come to the office?" she asked.
Although Reyna was doubtful of her intentions, she had to give the information because after all, this lady was the fiancé of the CEO. So she replied politely, "Yes, Ms. Maya."
Maya disconnected the call. A flash of anger cruised through her body and she could feel her stomach hardening. Her breaths became coarser. That girl was alive. She closed her fists to the extent that her knuckles became white. What was it that that girl had and enticed Daryn? What was so special about her? She wasn't entitled to become Daryn's wife. Or was she seducing him to marry her and take the place of belonging to The Silver House? Maya considered herself to be simply too beautiful. She was the top model in the industry with sculpted looks that the cameras loved. And what was Dawn? A dull, useless neotide who didn't know how to even groom herself? She was so middle-class that it appalled Maya that Daryn could even think of Dawn over her. Her mind exploded with so much jealousy that her body shivered. On the fa?ade, her life was too good but it wasn't matching on the inside. She grinned like a celebrity on the covers of magazines with perfect smiles and pearly teeth. But no more. This girl had to go. She was determined to get Daryn in her grip. She took a deep breath and called the Editor of a fashion magazine she was close with. "Irene, I would like you to write my interview on how to cope up with depression."
Irene was surprised at this sudden intrusion at her work. "Why Maya?" she asked. "Are you depressed? What happened darling?" Irene said as she puffed rings of smoke in her office.
"I have been depressed for a long time and I have been coping with it," she answered in a low voice.
Now this was one scoop Irene couldn't miss. She could already see her next cover page, "Depressed Fiancé of CEO Silver." In a sympathetic voice, she said, "I would love to help you out. If you like I can send someone at your place to take the interview."
"Umm… okay," she replied in a sad tone.
"Great. How about today in the evening at 5PM?" Irene offered.
"Sure, I will be ready. However, I would prefer if you come instead of sending someone else," she said in a hoarse voice.
"Oh! Ok, I will be there," Irene said. She heard a sigh from Maya's end and then the call was disconnected. Irene became excited. She chucked the work that she was doing, doused the cigarette and picked up the pen to prepare a list of questions.
On the other side Maya scoffed, "Let's see how you win that Dawn."

Gayle was extremely happy. Finally he had a chance to take care of a deed that had gone wrong. Even if Dawn became his daughter-in-law, that was fine with him. At least she would get back all the money that she had been stripped of. He decided to buy a villa for his son and future daughter-in-law immediately. He was so excited that he became afraid that his excitement might ruin Daryn's plans. However, how would buying a villa hurt? He would gift them for their honeymoon. He called his agent and instructed, "Find the best villa available in Tuscany. I would like to purchase it with immediate effect. Make sure it is a waterfront property." Saying that he disconnected the call and rubbed his palms together. A bright smile spread on his face thinking about his grandkids. He was old, but heck he felt like shifting.

Daryn drove to his office straight. It was lunchtime and perhaps she must have gone to eat in the cafeteria. He would wait for her. He so wanted to call her, but refrained. He would give her a surprise. He was so happy that his father had accepted Dawn. And what surprised him the most was that he didn't ask too many questions. He so wanted to go to the office and hug Dawn, get her in the office and just be with her, maybe with his pants down and her skirt pulled to her waist. His groins twitched with the possibilities. When he reached there, he dashed to his office. People in the lobby were surprised to see their CEO running like a mad. He pressed the elevator's button to his floor. He looked at the numbers on the display and hoped them to quickly get over. However, something made him jump. Her smell was nearing the tenth floor. It became strong by the time the elevator reached there. He pressed the button of the tenth floor in order to find out, but the elevator didn't stop. What was she doing on the tenth floor? That was strange. Instead of stopping at his office floor, Daryn let the door close and he went down to the tenth floor. When the door opened, he smelled her strong scent. He walked to the procurement office and stopped with a jerk. Dawn was on the inside talking to an obese girl. Her voice was clear.
"Thanks Laura, but I have just had my lunch."
"Oh come on Dawn, this tuna sandwich is very tasty. You are going to love it," Laura said.
Dawn took the sandwich from her with a smile.
"I love the fact that I have found a friend in you," Laura said.
Dawn took a bite. "You are a sweet person." Then she looked at her watch and said, "Oh I need to go. The lunchtime is over and the boss is going to come back soon. I have to give a presentation."
"Sure dear," Laura replied. "See you tomorrow."
Dawn nodded and started to come out. Immediately, Daryn walked into his elevator. It would have been awkward otherwise. He went to the office. It was just a friendly conversation.
After pressing the button for the lift, Dawn took a deep breath. She smelled Daryn's scent and was puzzled as to why it was so strong. Was he here on this floor or was he still in the elevator? She glanced at his private elevator, which was going up and realized as to why the smell was so strong. She had come down to crack open Ambrose's computer but somehow she couldn't. After the kiss, she felt wobbly on her knees. She needed time to think. Everything was muddled up.
When Daryn reached his office floor, Reyna stopped him and informed, "Mr. Daryn, there's a group of Vice Presidents waiting for you. Mr. Caleb also called that you had to be in the meeting urgently because he is leaving for Argentina tomorrow."
Daryn gritted his teeth. "Okay, I will be there," he replied. Dawn had to wait.
When Dawn stepped out of the elevator, she found him leaving the place. There was a huge smile on his face and he winked at her before leaving.
