Mrs CEO

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

A red car pulled to a stop in front of the shopping mall. Cindy Williams, a young woman of twenty-four, stepped out and, after closing the car door, walked toward the boutique.

The click of her red high heels echoed on the pavement as she hurried toward the store, eager to find the perfect outfit for her best friend's birthday party.

The sun beat down, and Cindy frowned, realizing she had left her umbrella in the car. Reluctant to walk back in the heat, she pressed on.

"Phew!" Cindy sighed as she entered the cool air of the shopping mall.

She pulled a handkerchief from her red purse and dabbed at her forehead before looking around the boutique.

Cindy wore a long white gown that clung to her figure, accentuating her simple, feminine shape. She drew attention, a vision of effortless beauty.

Zipping her purse closed, Cindy surveyed the shop. A saleswoman approached her.

"Welcome, ma'am. What can I help you find today?" the saleswoman asked.

"I'm looking for dresses suitable for a birthday party," Cindy replied.

"Certainly, madam. This way, please," the saleswoman gestured, leading Cindy toward the selection of women's wear.

Cindy followed, her gaze drifting over the clothes and the other shoppers.

She passed the gowns without touching them, her expression neutral.

The saleswoman presented the collection and asked, "What length of gown are you considering, madam? Long or short?"

Cindy glanced around again. "I'm not sure. What do you think would suit me? I usually wear white."

The saleswoman smiled. "The white gown you're wearing looks lovely on you. Perhaps another white gown, perhaps longer or shorter?"

Cindy sighed. "Hmm. White is my favorite, but I was thinking of something different, like blue, yellow, or green. What do you think?"

"Let me see what we have," the saleswoman replied.

Cindy stood aside as the saleswoman pulled out gowns in various colors – yellow, blue, red, and green. None of them seemed to catch Cindy's eye.

Cindy frowned, disliking all the options. Feeling she had wasted the saleswoman's time and not wanting to be rude, she spoke.

"Do you have any white suits? I love white suits as well. Could I see what you have? The party is tomorrow, and I need something new."

"Of course," the saleswoman replied, remembering her manager's emphasis on customer satisfaction, regardless of how many items a customer rejected.

"Would you like to wait here, madam, or would you prefer to come with me to see the white suits?" the saleswoman asked.

"I'll come with you," Cindy replied, following the saleswoman.

They walked to another section, and Cindy's eyes immediately landed on a stunning white suit displayed on a mannequin.

Cindy admired the golden collar design of the white suit coat, which fastened with only two front buttons, and the sleek, pencil-shaped white trousers.

"Wow!" gasped another woman standing nearby, also admiring the suit as she negotiated the price with a different saleswoman.
