It's Not Easy Falling For The CEO I Hate

It was a sunny day at Welton High School. The birds were chirping in the trees and the hot weather didn't seem to discourage the students from roaming around the school

A group of girls were crowded behind a fuming girl. The girl had long black hair falling gracefully behind her back, a fair skin complexion, beautiful brown eyes, and cherry-colored lips pulled in a sneer

The young girl's brown eyes glared fiercely at the boy sitting on the bench in front of her. His head was bowed so that his face couldn't be seen

" Vaughn! You have a lot of guts!"

She clenched tightly to the white piece of paper that contained clean handwriting between her palms. It felt like she would rip into pieces in the next moment

" Emily calm down, don't create a scene"

Another beautiful girl approached the earlier placing a comforting hand on her shoulder as she cast a sympathetic glance at the black-haired boy

Honestly, she didn't understand what Emily was making a fuss about. Wasn't it just a love letter? Shouldn't she be flattered that despite her rudeness to him Vaughn would still like her? It was one thing to turn down the other's feelings calmly, but was there really a need to make such a scene and embarrass him

" Why should I calm down?! Lisa, isn't it an insult to me for him to write such a thing ?"

"you're being over dramatic. It's just a letter"

The black-haired girl of course didn't listen. She scrunched up the love letter and threw it at Vaughn

" Vaughn! The day I accept your love is the day the world falls apart!"

She turned around and angrily stumped away closely followed by the crowd of giggling girls

Lisa sighed and turned her gaze back at Vaughn, the boy's head was still downcast. It seemed like the events of just now hadn't registered to him at all

Lisa lowered herself to pick up the paper that had rolled down on the ground before sitting beside Vaughn

" Vaughn, you mustn't mind Emily. She doesn't mean what she said, she was just angry that's all"

" hm," Vaughn said dryly

" it's really sweet what you wrote to her" Lisa thought it was too bad Emily was too childish to see that. The girl was just like that sometimes. She barely noticed the good things in front of her until it was too late. Was there a chance Emily would find someone who loved her as much as Vaughn did?

" hm," Vaughn's response was still the same.

Lisa sighed. She took the lack of response from Vaughn as his mourning for rejection. love was such a complicated thing

A person like Vaughn who had been in love with Emily since kindergarten happened to be the exact person Emily hated the most. Just what kind of fate was it? Even though Emily had spent the best of their school time making Vaughn's life a living hell the handsome boy still loved her this much

She felt sympathetic for him. She hoped Emily wouldn't be so mean to the boy. It was already the last year of high school for them and Vaughn had grown the courage to confess after all, only to be harshly rejected

Lisa suddenly felt afraid. would she also fall for someone like this too? Would she also be rejected?! No way!! She was a lady, she was meant to be chased and not the other way around!

With that thought in mind, Lisa felt appeased. She made to comfort Vaughn again

" Don't worry Vaughn, I'll talk to Emily and,.."

But when she looked over to the person beside her Vaughn was gone

He must have left to go lick his wounds. Poor thing

Lisa stood up and walked off to go scold Emily, she completely forgot about the love letter which wasn't there anymore

That was eight years ago.....and now everything was coming to bite Emily in the back

* * *

Emily hadn't thought to put something more casual. How could she have remembered such a thing if she hadn't even known she would be attending a high-class celebrity after-party

She remembered waking up earlier in the morning with her phone ringing so loudly

It hadn't even occurred to her who would be so rude to wake her up at 5:AM. She hadn't felt like this since her college days, but it seemed that even after graduation she still had to rise so early

" What!?" She didn't bother being polite at all as she answered the phone.

" Are you seriously still sleeping you? Some of us are out working! I don't get why Dad still lets you live in the house when you should be living on your own! He was never so lenient with me!"

" quit whining" Emily fought back a yawn "What do you want Scarlet?"

Her sister didn't even hesitate to blare out her needs like she was some kind of queen that was made to be served

" I forgot to bring some dresses for the shoot. They're in my room so hurry up and bring them over"

" What!? Why do I have to bring them over? Where's Kevin? "

" he's busy Emily. My agent has a lot to do before the shoot so stop complaining and bring the things to me. Maybe you might score a job"

" No"

" lazy ass" Scarlet scolded cutting the call

Emily laid back for a couple of seconds thinking about what Scarlet had said. She didn't need her nosy sister telling her off all the time, she knew she needed to get a job soon. It had been over two years since she graduated college and three months since she quit her last job as an agent. The person she had been managing was easy to say the bitchiest girl to have existed. Nissa treated her more like a nanny than an agent. Maybe it was the fact that she had managed to land a popular album that made her think Emily's life revolved around her

It wasn't like Emily hadn't tried to make it work but in the end, it came down to either quitting her job or poisoning Nissa's meal and killing her. Emily decided the first option was the most logical

Now after a whole three months, she was still jobless. Maybe the fact that she hadn't been looking for a job may have been the major factor. Her parents hadn't bothered her much seeing how her last job had been a lot to handle.

But still, it was three months for goodness sake, it was enough goofing around especially since her sister's modeling career was booming and even Lisa had been cast in a lot of movies recently, basically, she was the only one being left behind

Grudgingly, Emily got off her bed and got herself ready. She threw on a jeans and top and tied her hair in a ponytail before finally making her way to Scarlet's room which was next door to hers

The dress her sister demanded was already packaged cleanly in her wardrobe. She picked up her phone to see that Scarlet had texted her an address.

" Are you going out?" Emily's mother asked seeing as she came downstairs dressed.

" yes Mom, Scarlet needs me to bring her something" Emily couldn't even try to mask her annoyance

Mrs. West smiled at her pulling her in a small hug. " be careful on the way honey. And make sure you eat breakfast"

" Kay Kay"

She walked out of her home with much gloom towards the place where she could hail a taxi. She had a feeling this was going to be an extremely tiring day
