Married to a Playboy CEO

Doing Favour?

Chapter 12

"What? Did you kiss her? That too against her consent. Are you out of your mind?" Chen was not ready to believe it happened until he saw Archie's bruised lips and his extremely frustrated face.

That's not enough Celeste scratched his hands when he was not leaving her. No one ever dared to harm Archie this way, even if someone tried it, he bet that person would not be alive by then.

"Why did you do that? Do you want her to fall for you or sue you in the court?" Chen opened a drawer and passed a cream to him.

"If she sues me, what do you think you are here?" He asked Chen coldly.

"But still, you harassed her. Now forget about her falling for you. She will not even look at you." Chen carefully tried to choose the word not to offend Archie anymore, it was late and he didn't want Archie to kick him out of the car on this chilled evening.

"Then, what do you want me to do? Let that girl feed away with my company? And that too with Andrew." He said. When he mentioned Andrew's name, there was extreme hatred on his face. He recalled how Celeste refused to know him but laughed with Andrew. His fist clenched.

"But you wanted to trap her in love, don't you think this will make her hate you?" Chen asked, seeing his clenched fist. "As far I know, You will never force yourself on anyone. Have this balm." Chen passed him a lip balm mint flavoured but Archie didn't use it. Instead, he rubbed his lips with his thumb and felt the sensation of her lips still there.

Those soft lips were just like fresh rose petals. He was mentally still in the washroom of that hotel. Even though he had not a single sip of wine, mild red wine still lingered in his mouth. It was from her.

Celeste's breath was still traced around his lips. He was so seduced that he didn't leave her, he almost lost control of himself while kissing her that his hands reached her curves. Those curves were so perfect that he could feel them just by touching them from the surface. Her thin waist was his weakness. He forgot about his plan for the moment, he wanted to invade her, taste her every skin as he tasted her lips. His body, his senses, his limbs, he lost control over them. But before he them, she pushed his hands away.

He stared at his hands where Celeste scratched him with her nails.

"Cat.. Wild cat. That cat needs to be tame." He muttered, rubbing his hands over those scars.

"Before that f*****g Andrew gets her, I need to make up her mind," Archie spoke with determination. When Archie promises something, he makes sure to do it.

"You are overthinking. There is nothing between her and Andrew." Chen clarified. Archie stared at him with puzzled eyes, he saw them dating, why would a girl who refused everything from him attend a dinner in a luxury restaurant by some man unless she loved that person?

"So you think I have an illusion, whatever I saw was false," Archie said, Chen rubbed his forehead.

"Andrew is treating her brother's cancer in your hospital." He added Archie's eyes widened to hear that. He didn't know Celeste had a brother and he had cancer.

"Really?" He asked, Chen pressed his lips.

"Fourth stage." Chen told him, "Perhaps those goons behind her, wanted their money back from her. She took loans for his treatment." Chen said,

Archie's face turned weird,

"What happens? Are you upset for her?" Chen asked him, he wondered because Archie was not even in grief when his grandfather died, every time he just thought about the will, Just like nothing is important to him rather than a will.

"No, I am thinking about how could I use her brother's cancer for my benefit," Archie told him, Chen was stunned to hear that. He knew Archie was heartless but didn't even know he would be this heartless.

"Was there any day when you got emotional?" Chen asked Archie. Archie tried to remember and then shook his head. Even he had no idea when he

Archie ran his tongue over his lips again, the taste of Celeste's wine still lingering on them. Even after Andrew had left, he hadn't let go of Celeste, perhaps he didn't want to let her go at all. When her soft breasts brushed against his rough chest, a current seemed to run through his entire body.

Meanwhile, Celeste was lying in her room, unable to believe that her first kiss had happened in such a way. That wasn't the Prince Charming kiss she dreamed of. For a moment, she had lost herself, she could still feel Archie's breath. She lifted her clothes and sniffed them, Archie's scent was still on her body. No one had ever touched her the way Archie did today, holding her waist tightly.

Even if she wanted to forget it, she couldn't. She didn't answer anything that Andrew asked her. She was trying to sleep but then suddenly someone knocked on her door recklessly. She was startled if those goons came back again.

"Jack.. Open the door. Jack.."

It was her dad, he was at the door. Celeste got up from her bed and opened the door. Her eyes were torn apart when she saw her father come with a wound on his head. His face was bruised and several wounds on his face.

"Dad.." She screamed, Jack dropped his phone and walked out. He was shocked to see their father come like this.

"What happened to you?" Celeste brought him inside and asked him. He was bleeding from his head. She was scared if the injury was deep. "I lost all your jewellery in the gambling. They hit me when I wanted them back." He was crying.

Celeste was stunned to see the message on her phone, Her brother's chemotherapy was scheduled tomorrow. The shock made her knees buckle.

The next morning, she escorted Jack to the hospital. She felt heavy on her shoulders. At the reception desk, she nervously picked up the session form in her hand with a heavy heart. Her eyes scanned around, perhaps looking for Andrew.

"Please pay 10,000 dollars at the counter," the receptionist said to her with a brisk voice. Celeste glanced down at the 4,000 dollars in her hand. Debt, her dad's gambling, and all the expenses were dancing before her eyes.

"Can I pay 6000$ afterwards? I have this much only.." Celeste gave her the leftover money that she took out from her piggy bank.

"What? You don't have money. Then why did you admit your f*****g brother here? You just wasted a bed." The receptionist turned colder and cancelled Jack's name from the admit list.

"Please. I would pay within two hours." Celeste said but the receptionist turned even more arrogant.

"I don't care. Take him or let him die. Come back only when you have the proper amount." The receptionist tore the form.

Suddenly someone placed a bunch of notes in front of her. She stared at it and thought it might be Andrew.

"Doctor Andrew. Thank you so much.." Saying this she turned back, but her eyes widened when she saw it was Archie standing behind her. His brows furrowed when she thanked Andrew.

"You..." She was flabbergasted and scared too. That person was again behind her. "Are you following me everywhere? I told you we are done. If you keep doing this I will complain again..." She started blabbering him annoyingly.

"Good morning sir." The director of the hospital who was passing by, greeted Archie and Celeste was baffled. She stared at him with lowered eyes. "As you told me before, we are going to arrange a charity event for our hospital."

For a moment she was stunned, her eyes rolled at the receptionist who was standing straight and not even moving. The director went after talking about what he would talk about only to an owner.

"You.." She baffled.

"CEO of this hospital." He said and Celeste was stunned. For two chemotheraphy she didn't even see this man but why today? Would he stop the chemo of her brother because of her behaviour? No, this is one of the best hospitals for teenage patients. But last evening whatever he did to her made her a little bit nervous. "You can take this money and have chemotherapy for your brother. Don't let your arrogance come between the treatment."

Celeste stood there speechless, she was not at a place where she could refuse that money. Her arrogance was nothing in front of that money.

"You. You didn't learn to talk with the patient's relative. You are fired!" Archie commanded to receptionist and left. Celeste watched him fade away.
