A Fulfilled Promise of Mr CEO

After Divorce: My Arrogant Ex Regrets Calling Me Trash

Sea Jet

Aurora woke up to the sterile chill of her king-sized bed in Sterling Thorne's penthouse. Today was the day her husband would finally throw her out like garbage. Sterling walked in, tossed divorce papers at her, and demanded her signature, eager to announce his "eligible bachelor" status to the world. In her past life, the sight of those papers had broken her, leaving her begging for a second chance. Sterling's sneering voice, calling her a "trailer park girl" undeserving of his name, had once cut deeper than any blade. He had always used her humble beginnings to keep her small, to make her grateful for the crumbs of his attention. She had lived a gilded cage, believing she was nothing without him, until her life flatlined in a hospital bed, watching him give a press conference about his "grief." But this time, she felt no sting, no tears. Only a cold, clear understanding of the mediocre man who stood on a pedestal she had painstakingly built with her own genius. Aurora signed the papers, her name a declaration of independence. She grabbed her old, phoenix-stickered laptop, ready to walk out. Sterling Thorne was about to find out exactly how expensive "free" could be.

Adrian’s POV

I am Alexandrian Romano. A well-known successful businessman and known for being a good man. There was also a rumor that I am having an affair with my personal assistant. But, it’s just a rumor.

Women say that my facial features were almost beautiful. My sharp eyes are deep and expressive like an eagle. And my lips are luscious as if inviting for a kiss. With a muscular body that looks perfectly on black pants made of expensive fabric and a suit made by a well-known brand, I am indeed a dashing six feet bachelor.

“What is my schedule today?” I asked Mary Ann, my personal assistant.

“Sir, today you’re going to interview the applicants for my position,” Mary Ann responded.

“When is your last day?” I asked as we enter the lift.

“In two months, sir,” she answered back.

“Hopefully, we can get someone who would be worthy to be your replacement,” I said with a shake of my head.

“I’m sure there is,” Mary Ann said.

“You are so confident to answer me, you truly want to leave me,” I replied and gave her a pleading look.

She scoffed. “Don’t tell me that you don’t understand the purpose of my living?”

“I know! You are getting old, and you want a family,” I said, and we laughed. “Am I younger than you?”

The woman shook her head. “No, I am older than you.”

We went straight to my office without looking at the long line of the applicants in the hallway. I sat on my chair and pressed the intercom to speak. I told my secretary to bring me coffee. When she came in, I instructed her to call the first applicant for an interview.

Mary Ann was my personal assistant since I became the CEO of Romano Corporation. She’s been with me for six years, and she’s like a big sister to me. Now, she’s resigning because she got engaged with my best friend, John.

John is only one year older than me and the same age as Mary Ann. He courted Mary Ann for more than a year. And after three years of being in a relationship, they decided to get married.

Now, Alexandrian, the CEO of Romano Corporation, has to find a new personal assistant to fill all Mary Ann’s duties.
