12. All-Day Event
Elisa looked at her phone and squinted. She had received a text from Ansel first thing in the morning.
"You are cordially invited to an all-day event with an extremely handsome CEO, Me. I will be sending a car in two hours," the text said.
Elisa rolled her eyes and smiled. What a dork.
Wait, all day! How was she supposed to do that when she has Audre? There was no way she could afford a babysitter for the whole day.
The doorbell rang all of a sudden, startling Elisa. She hurried to open it. Esmeralda was standing in front of her with a smile. Elisa was surprised since she didn't call her yet. She looked at Esmeralda questioningly.
"Big plans today?" Esmeralda chirped.
"Um...how'd you know? Are you some type of psychic?" Elisa let out nervous laughter.
"Someone called me and asked me to look after Audre until later today. He said he was your boss," Esmeralda said.
How did Ansel know about Audre and

The CEO's Serious Pursuit 13. How to Milk a Cow
Ansel Squinted at the entrance sign and looked at Elisa."Sorry, what are we doing here?" he was confused."We are going to have a nice tour at this lovely farm, and you are going to learn how to milk a cow," Elisa replied casually as if it was the most natural thing to do on a first date.Oh, you got to be kidding me,Ansel thought. He had never been on a farm. He didn't even like farm animals. His parents took him to a petting zoo once, but he ran out crying because he couldn't stand the smell of feces. Elisa must've sensed how snooty he is and decided to bring him here to mess with him.Jokes on her because he won't back down, Ansel decided. He is going to have a good time no matter what. But wait...did she just say milk a cow?"What do you mean we are going to learn how to milk a cow?" Ansel let out a nervous laugh."Not 'we,' you are going to learn while I stand back and enjoy the show," Elisa smiled."Excuse me? I
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 14. Going Clubbing
"So...I suppose you'd want to end our date here since you had that traumatic experience with Sally, the cow?" Elisa looked at Ansel with hopeful eyes. They were finally out of the farm and now sat inside the limo.He was all cleaned up, and Samuel and Megan were nice enough to offer them lunch, so they stayed for a bit. Elisa figured Ansel had enough."What are you talking about? I am having a great time, Ansel smirked.Dammit...she thought she had him. Elisa was frustrated."Besides, it's my turn. We have to have dinner, don't we?" Ansel said."I'll skip it. I only eat twice a day," Elisa said. She had to admit she was having a good time, but there was no way she'd let Ansel know that."Nice try attempting to escape, but you're stuck with me," Ansel wrapped his arm around her shoulders and moved her closer to him. Elisa thought about swatting his arm away, but she leaned back instead. His warmth spread through her body. It felt good to be h
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 15. Run-in with Trouble
Ansel never had to work this hard to impress a woman before. Usually, whenever he took them on a fancy date, they'd start acting like they had been dating for ages, especially if he bought them new clothes and shoes. Was Elisa just pretending?No, Elisa didn't seem like the type of woman who likes to play hard to get just for the hell of it.But she was warming up to him. Ansel knew that much. She didn't swat his arm away when he held her close in the car. And she actually smiled and laughed at his jokes. Maybe he was going to get lucky tonight after all.He called the waitress Erica from across the room and ordered two drinks. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to Elisa, he spotted someone in the distance. The last person he wanted to see. Fucking Jessica.How did she get in? Oh right, he must've forgotten to put her on the blacklist. He made a mental note to talk to the manager about it.Jessica smiled and walked towards him before h
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 16. Don't you know who I am?
Ansel kept his word and didn't do anything inappropriate for the rest of the night. Surprisingly enough, Elisa was starting to find him charming. The alcohol must be affecting her badly."Who is that guy in a green jacket? He looks familiar." she pointed at a guy sitting at the bar."Him? That's Mathew Black. He is a famous musician. You have probably seen him on TV or something," Ansel said distractedly."Oh...he is so hot," Elisa swooned.Ansel snapped his attention back to her. "Excuse me?" he narrowed his eyes. Jealousy sparkled in his eyes."He is sexy. I bet he made it People's Sexiest Man Alive list," Elisa grinned. She didn't find the Mathew guy that good-looking but decided to mess with Ansel as payback for his inappropriate behavior earlier."Pfft...I'm way better looking than that imbecile," Ansel scoffed."Eh...I don't know," Elisa shrugged."Oh, so you'd rather sleep with him than me?" Ansel frowned."Excuse
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 17. Not the Entire Garden!
So close.He was so close to getting what he wanted. He could feel the heat coming off of her body. She wanted him. If he had persuaded her a little more, she would've given in.But when he saw the dazed and uncomfortable look on her face, he couldn't pressure her anymore. She almost looked ashamed to let him kiss her and touch her body.She isn't ready, Ansel thought. He took her home just as he promised.She hesitated before getting out of the car. "Thank you for today. I had more fun than I care to admit," she said."Just admit it, you're disappointed that you didn't go all the way with me tonight," Ansel smirked."Pfft...in your dreams. Why would I ever want to sleep with a prick like you?" Elisa giggled."Fine, be that way. One day you will give in, and it'll be glorious. Until then, Miss Campbell," Ansel put his fingers up in a saluting gesture.Elisa rolled her eyes and went inside the apartment.Ansel didn't cons
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 18. Way Past the Bedtime
Elisa stared at Ansel and could hardly contain her laughter. She couldn't believe how annoyed he was because a six-year-old girl told him she didn't like him. "What do you mean you don't like me? Everyone likes me," Ansel frowned. "I don't like you because you're ugly," Audre said nonchalantly. Oh boy, Elisa looked at them wide-eyed. Ansel gasped. "How dare you, tiny human! I am not ugly. If I was ugly, I wouldn't be so popular with the ladies. And guess what, I was named one of the most handsome eligible bachelors in Forbes magazine, so joke's on you, missy!" Audre turned to Elisa. "Mommy, what's e-rigi-ble bachalor?" Elisa rolled her eyes. Is this guy for real? "Are you seriously arguing with a six-year-old? Who is the adult here?" Ansel ignored her and turned his attention back to Audre. He refused to lose to a child. "Listen here. I don't care about your opinion because guess what? You have a bedtime, and I get to stay up a
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 19. Getting What He Wanted
Ansel took a moment to appreciate the words that came out of Elisa's mouth.This was the moment he had been waiting for."You're so fucking beautiful," he growled and kissed her again, this time, a little more forcefully. He felt her hand tugging at his shirt, unbuttoning it. She didn't stop until she unbuttoned the last button. He broke the kiss to come up for air then stared into her eyes. She trailed her fingers all over his naked chest and stomach, sending shivers down his spine. He smiled down at her. She was lying there, half-naked and vulnerable. She was all his. His to make love to, his to play with."Don't hurt me," she whispered. Her eyes were suddenly full of concern. Her confidence from earlier was fading.He looked at her with surprise. "Hurt you? I'll worship your body, my darling. Don't worry, I will make you feel so good you will remember this night for the rest of your life," he said huskily, then took her shorts off. He grinned as she wa
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 20. A Betrayal
In the morning, Elisa woke up and smiled as she remembered the events last night. She couldn't believe she slept with her boss. She didn't feel any shame or regrets. She was happy. She realized she started to have feelings for Ansel. Sure, he was an obnoxious, arrogant man, but he can also be weirdly sweet. And it didn't hurt that he was extremely attractive. She took her time getting dressed and put on her prettiest dress. She felt like a teenage girl trying too hard to impress her crush, but she didn't care. She looked forward to seeing him at the office. She decided to make a quick stop at the landlord's apartment. She got her paycheck and now was able to pay her rent in full. That's another thing she was grateful for. If she hadn't meet Ansel, she never would've found this job with great pay and benefits. "Yes, to what do I owe this pleasure?" her landlord grinned slyly. "I'm here to pay off my rent. I have the full amount," Elisa said and started
