Naughty Ceo’s Secret
Chapter 77

Well, the next three days went on the same. Kenzo kept me busy. He barely talked to me, barely looked at me. And I gave him the exact same attention.

I barely looked at him, barely spoke. I did what I was asked in almost complete silence. I didn't rub up on him, or act desperate for his attention.

There were a few times that Kenzo tried to say more than necessary. I cut it off right away. I would interrupt him, and bring up something work related. If Kenzo didn't have any more work related things to say, I asked him to let me get back to work. I have no idea what's going on though. Or what we're doing. I feel like I'm just acting on instinct, and my instincts are angry right now. I guess that's normal for me, but.. The rest of this isn't.

I want to know why Kenzo is treating me like this. Did I do something wrong? What happened between us? Is it because of the three sum? Did Kenzo get his fill of me, and it's over now?

That doesn't make sense though. I was so sure that he liked me. That he had real feelings for me. I thought that about my ex too though. And he was fu.cking his secretary the whole time. Maybe I'm just a really bad jugde of character. Maybe I'm just too gullible. I should stop believing everything someone tells me just because I want to believe it.

All of this is starting to give me a headache. I miss Kenzo. It's sad that I miss him even while seeing him every day.

It's like there is a huge distance between us. One that I can never seem to shorten for very long. I'm so tired of the distance, and trying to close it.

This time, it's Kenzo's turn. He's the one that put all this distance there to begin with. If he really wants something more with me, then he can do something about all of this.

Which really makes me wonder if he doesn't want something more with me. Were Kenzo's words all fake just to.. I don't even know. We slept together several times. He had us share that hotel room. He chose me over June and Jezz. Why would Kenzo do all of that if he doesn't have feelings for me?

Maybe he thought that I could be his first Sub, but changed his mind. Kenzo himself said he'd never actually had one before. Maybe this whole time was some kind of test I failed.

Well, if that's the case then Kenzo Suzuki can fu.ck right off. He can't just play with my feelings like that. What an as.shole.

"I know what that look on your face means." Beck said as he came sauntering into my office.

I ignored him as I put some papers in a drawer, and slammed it shut. That fu.cking Kenzo Suzuki. Always playing with my damn emotions.

"Uht oh. I knew you would be spiraling soon, but this.. is a bit unexpected." Beck said.

My eyes snapped up to narrow at him.

"What is unexpected exactly?" I asked.

"Nothing." Beck said as he threw his hands up in surrender. "You just seem a bit angry." He said.

"Why would I be angry? It's not like my boss has been giving me emotional whiplash all week or anything. It's not like my feelings matter ever. I'm just the secretary. Nothing more, nothing less. I have no reason to be angry." I ranted. "...Right." Beck said uncomfortably.

I sighed as I looked up at Beck.

"I don't understand what's going on." I admitted.

Beck gave me a small smile.

"I know darlin'. I keep telling you, just.. be patient. I promise that Kenzo isn'-"

"Isn't doing this on purpose. He has his reasons. I know." I interrupted to finish for him. "That doesn't make this any easier. I'm starting to think that Kenzo decided against a relationship with me. I think I should start looking for another job." I said. "No, no, no, don't do that. I do not think that is a good idea at all." Beck said. "Besides, that's not what it is. Kenzo cares deeply for you." He told me.

"Does he though?" I asked skeptical.

Beck opened his mouth, but before he could speak Kenzo came out of his office. He has on a different suit than what he's had all day. When the hell did he change? "Opal, are you ready to go? I have that interview. I need you to be there for it. Remember?" Kenzo asked.

As if I would forget. This is my job afterall. I'm not incompetent.

I looked up at Beck as all of my annoyance came back tenfold. I'm seconds away from telling Kenzo to shove it, and walking out. Then another idea hit my brain.

If Beck really thinks that Kenzo isn't done with me, then this should prove which one of us is right.

"Just a moment." I said as I stood up.

I turned to face Beck.

"Beck, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me this weekend?" I asked.

Beck's eyes went wide as he stared back at me. I have no idea what Kenzo looks like, if anything. I'm making sure to keep my eyes on Beck. If Kenzo has a problem with this then he'll say so. "Uhm, I, uh, don't know about that Opal." Beck said awkwardly.

"Why not? You flirt with me all the time. Give me more attention than anyone else here does. We're friends. I think we would make a good couple." I said.

"Opal." Kenzo said my name like a warning.

I ignored him as I waited for Beck's answer.

"Opal, I think we both know that I can't say yes." Beck said.

At least he's loyal to his friends.

"Hmm. What a shame. Would have been nice to feel important for once. Oh well." I said casually.

I grabbed my bag, and look at Kenzo. He looks furious. Good. As he should be.

"Don't look at me like that. It's not like you're the one that got rejected." I said.

Then I turned on my heel, and started walking for the exit.

"I'm ready Mr. Suzuki. Ben is waiting for us." I said as I kept walking.

Kenzo caught up to me in no time. We walked to the back door elevator in silence. Once we entered the elevator I leaned my head back and closed my eyes.

I am turning into a disaster.

"Opal." Kenzo stated my name sternly.

"Hmm?" I hummed out without opening my eyes.

"Look at me." He ordered.

My eyes snapped open, and I glared at Kenzo.

"What?" I bit out.

"Watch your tone with me." He said.

"Or what?" I snapped. "You gonna fire me?" I asked.

"What? No." Kenzo said.

"Then deal with it." I stated as I crossed my arms.

"Deal with it? You do not make the rules here-"

"Yes I do." I interrupted. "I make all the rules. Me. Not you. This is my life, my feelings. I'm the one that has to deal with things in the end. So, I will be doing whatever the fu.ck I want." I ranted. Apparently, I'm more worked up than I thought. I'm panting as I stare at Kenzo. Who is just staring back at me like he has no idea what else to say.

The elevator dinged, and the doors opened. I turned to walk out. Just before I was about to open the door to go outside, Kenzo grabbed my arm, and spun me around.

"Is that why you asked Beck out in front of me? Because this is your life, and you can do whatever you want?" He asked furious.

"Yes." I seethed back.

Kenzo's jaw ticked as he stared down at me. He looks really mad. Way more angry than I've ever seen him.

"So, you'll just give us up like that then? I mean so little to you. Great." He said.

My jaw dropped at Kenzo walked out of the building. I followed after him feeling more angry than I have ever been in my life. This motherfu.cker!

Before I could stop myself, I pulled off my left shoe, and threw it at the back of Kenzo's head. He grabbed the back of his head as he whirled around to face me.

"How fu.cking dare you say that to me! You stupid a.sshole!" I shouted.

I took off my right shoe, and flung that at him as well. Unfortunately, Kenzo dodged that one.

"Op-"

"You've been ignoring me all week long! You didn't even walk me to my door to say good bye after our trip! You did this to me before! And I'm the bad guy because I got mad?!"

I am losing my sh.it. After not having anymore shoes to throw, I started throwing things from my bag. Anything I could as I marched up to Kenzo. Pens, notebooks, planners, chapsticks.

"You were the one that showed me you don't care Kenzo Suzuki! You! Not me!" I said.

I made it up to him, and moved on to full on banging on his chest. Kenzo grabbed my wrists, and held them to his chest so I would stop hitting him. I stared straight at his chest as I try to take in deep breaths.

"You did this to me before, and I didn't understand it then either. I'm not a toy Kenzo. You don't get to keep playing with my feelings." I said.

Kenzo gripped my chin, and pulled my face to his. I glared at him. He stared down at me with... god, I don't even know what that look is. "Opal, I didn't-"

"Am I fired?" I asked.

"Opal-"

"Am. I. Fired?" I tried again.

"No." Kenzo said shaking his head. "I would never fire you."

"Fine." I said pulling my hands away. "Then let's go. You have somewhere to be."
