Between Two CEO's

Chapter. 5 A Man Desire

"What's wrong, April?" Logan approached April, who was sitting at the dining table.

Logan's stomach calling out of hunger made April pity. She pulled up a chair for Logan. "Have breakfast; your stomach must be starving."

"Thank you." Logan sits enjoying breakfast with April. Their eyes met Logan thinking about April's anger.

"Why no appetite?" April saw that Logan had just finished a mini pancake and a glass of fresh milk.

"I'm curious about the cause of your anger. Tell me, why are you so angry?"

"This hotel is yours?"

"Right."

"Why didn't you tell me? This is why you often skipped school?"

"Well, I wanted to surprise you, but I don't think that will happen."

"What do you mean?" April looked closely at Logan.

"I was going to use this hotel as our wedding gift."

"That's impossible." April looked away.

"Hahaha, I realize that will never happen because your heart has always belonged to Sean." Logan casually took a peeled banana and took a bite.

"Sorry," April grabbed Logan's arm.

"It's okay. No need to say sorry. We can't force someone's heart to love us, right? Because love is a mystery that we can't predict." Logan immediately threw away the banana peel after he finished it instantly.

Logan's phone rang, and Sean's name flashed on the screen.

"Sean." Logan looked at April.

"Please don't pick it up." April cupped her hands together.

Logan nodded.

Johanson Group building.

Sean paced his office. Last night April and Logan disappeared, April was unreachable, and Logan did not answer his calls.

"Why are they compact? Watch out, Log, don't let our April be ruined," Sean muttered.

Sean was taken aback when his cell phone rang. "Yes, hello, they have been found? Immediately send the location!" Sean opened a message from his men. "Sun Bay Hotel?" Sean frowned. "s**t," Sean immediately called his driver, "Get the car ready now!"

Sean rushed out of his room. He approached Amy, his secretary. "Amy, I have important business outside; reschedule my schedule for today. For client matters, message me if it's important."

"Okay, sir," Amy immediately noted something wrong. "Sir, Miss. Meyer has been calling you."

Sean stopped, "tell her I'm out on business."

"Why won't you answer the call from Sean?"

"I-I'm not ready to meet him yet."

Logan smiled. "I understand, but we better get out of here."

"Why such a hurry?"

"Sean is looking for you. His people must have known where we are."

April was happy. Sean looked for her. But she turned glum again, 'Aunt Mary must be worried about me, not Sean. How could he remember me after having such a beautiful girlfriend.'

"April," Logan called the pensive April.

"Take me away, Log, take me away from here. I don't want to see him now."

"Are you sure?"

April nodded.

"You're not afraid of me?"

"I keep your promise to help me win Sean's heart."

Logan smiled. "Okay, you can keep my promise; let's get out of here."

Half an hour later, at the Suny Bay Hotel.

"Excuse me, Miss, guests on behalf of Logan Knight and April Archer are staying in which room?" Sean hastily arrived in front of the hotel reception counter.

"Sorry, sir, we can't tell you; it violates the guest privacy code we must protect."

Sean took a check from his pocket. "Write down how much you want." Sean put down a blank check and signed the statement.

The receptionist smiled, "I'm sorry, sir, I can't help you." The receptionist handed Sean a blank check to him.

Sean ruffled his hair in frustration, taking a shaky breath. He remembered something and grabbed his cell phone; his hand swiftly shifted the menu to the photo gallery. Sean put his phone on the reception desk. "The three of us have been friends since childhood. I'm just worried about her." Sean pointed to April's photo. "Please tell me, where are they?"

"The receptionist looked thoughtful. "Sorry, you're late. They left half an hour ago."

"s**t," Sean cursed in annoyance." He kicked the flowerpot beside him.

The receptionist covered her mouth with her hand. 'How arrogant; why does Mr. Knight have a friend like that.'

Sean walked quickly and left the reception counter. "Continue looking for them both; I don't want to know; in half an hour, I want to hear from them," Sean called his men.

"Log, I want to call my Mommy; they must be very worried. "

"Just use my phone," Logan looked at April's phone flashing out of power.

"Thanks," April took Logan's phone from the dashboard.

"Hello, Mom, I'm fine, don't worry. I'm with Logan, Mom. For the next two days, I won't be home; I want to visit the exhibition with Logan, looking for inspiration for my shirt design. Please, Mom, I will take care of myself. Yes, I will tell Daddy later. Okay, love you too."

"Your mommy doesn't seem to like me."

"Don't get her wrong, she thinks Sean and I are dating. Maybe Mommy thought you would mess up my relationship with Sean."

"Oh, I see." Logan turned his attention back to driving.

After an hour, they came to a modern boutique with a salon and spa. Logan opened the door for April.

"Boutique, salon, and spa?" April turned to Logan, asking for an explanation.

"Come in; let me explain." Logan pulled April to follow him.

Inside the boutique, a man who looked graceful greeted them both. "Hi, Mr. Knight, how are you?" the man teased Logan.

April got goosebumps seeing their interaction.

"Oh, this girl you're talking about, I'll make it different; believe me in my abilities. I'll turn her into a different person." The man circled April, looking up and down. "Beautiful, but unattractive." The man crossed his arms, thinking about something.

April immediately approached Logan. "Log, what are you doing? I don't want to be changed into someone else, and I want to be myself." April half-whispered.

"Darling, if you don't change, the man you are after will not be able to get you. Even looking back, he hesitated. I've only seen a beautiful girl who looks like a nun in modern times like this." The man tugged on April's dress.

April's face looks sour.

"Excuse Me, Bob. I need to talk to her for a bit."

"Please take your time; when you're done, call me."

"Thank you, Bob."

Logan leads April to the second floor, which is the spa room.

Seeing Logan waving his hands, the employees exited the room in unison. Logan then locked the door.

"Listen, Apr, what's the key for a man to glance at a woman?"

April frowned, "What?"

"We grown men have desires; Sean does too. The first thing that caught our attention was the woman's visuals. The beautiful and sexy appearance immediately attracted our desires."

"What do you mean?" April concentrated on listening to Logan's explanation.

"A man has a desire. A desire for sèx."
