I Kissed A CEO And He Liked It! novel Chapter 3

Kyle Wright, the newly appointed CEO of the Wright Diamond Corporation, the biggest company in the city and growing to be one of the best in the country.

At thirty years old, he was finally given the throne to run the family business.

He was walking along the halls of the Second Diamond Hotel, a property belonging to the corporation when he suddenly saw his niece running away from the direction of the first-carat conference room.

“Kimberly!” He called, but the little girl was running too fast and easily went past him.

“Kyle, get her, will you! She got mad that I did not buy her, her sweets!” He heard his twin sister, Kenzie said, standing by the door in her pregnant belly. “Please! You know I love you.”

There were only four women in his life that had a way with him; his mother, Samantha Wright, his twin sister, Kenzie Wright-Kentworthy, his youngest sister, Sarah Kate Wright, and his niece, Kimberly. Other than them, he was a snob to the rest of the women population of the world.

Hearing his sister’s plea, he answered, “Fine. Tell your husband, I need a deal with his company.”

He saw Kenzie rolled her eyes and responded, “Like you would accept a no for an answer – go!”

Kyle wasn’t worried at all. Everyone at the hotel knew their family, including their seasonal visitor from England, the four-year-old, Kimberly Kentworthy.

His sister, Kenzie, often made the long journey to Braeton City whenever her husband was away on a business trip, or sometimes, they themselves as a family would come to visit.

Reaching the lobby, he scanned the entire place, trying to find his troublesome niece. One of the security staff then approached him and revealed, “She is at the candy shop, next to the café, Mr. Wright. Roger has been following her around.”

Kyle shook his head and walked towards the store, only to find his niece talking to a stranger and holding a candy in her hand.

Oh, he already knew about these stories; his helpless niece being saved by a cunning woman, only to use Kimberly as a tool to get to him. He had played to be the target on not one, but two occasions! He immediately grabbed the lollipop and scolded the little girl, “Never accept candies from a stranger!”

To his surprise, however, the woman gave him a disapproving look and accused him, “Mister, you need to take care of your daughter! How could you lose sight of her? What an irresponsible father you are!”

‘An irresponsible father?’ That did not go as he thought he would. He was ready to humiliate the woman in the sapphire dress, but instead, he was being labeled wrongly.

For the first time in his life, he fell speechless in front of a woman and before he could object, the same girl turned her back and without saying another word.

It shocked him that she did not even try to flirt with him, not for a second.

“Uncle! You pushed big sis away!” His little niece said with a frown. “She was nice...Really nice.”

“I’ll be.” With his forehead creased, he answered weakly, “I’ll be the judge of that.”

He went back to their family gathering with the earlier event, occasionally playing back in his head. The girl in that sapphire blue dress suddenly became a mystery to him.

After they had a lovely dinner, Kimberly bumped into one of the servers, accidentally pouring a glass of beverage into Kyle’s jacket.

“Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. Wright! I’m.” The food attendant was scared to lose his job that he stuttered while offering, “Let me – let me take your jacket and have it cleaned, sir.”

“It’s alright.” From his table, Kyle took off his jacket and handed it to the server. “After it has been cleaned, take it up to my penthouse.”

On the topmost floor was Kyle Wright’s penthouse. He had been living separately from his parents since he turned twenty-six years old. They often only meet during weekends or at special dinners at any of the Diamond Hotels.

“Are you okay, Kyle?” His mother, Samantha, asked from the other end of the round table.
