I Kissed A CEO And He Liked It! novel Chapter 9

"Gaby, are you crazy? We were together for two years and not once did you agree to live with me, not even stay overnight at my place!" Friday swiftly came, but it did not go by that easily, with Warren still pestering Gabrielle about her plans of moving in with her newfound and supposed boyfriend.

After her class that morning, she went straight to returning her keys to the apartment manager and carried down her luggage and other belongings.

She wound up selling or giving away the very little furniture she had since she did not need them in her new and luxurious accommodation.

Both of them were already at the building lobby with Warren still trying to convince Gabrielle how wrong it was for her to live with a new man!

Seeing Gabrielle make her way to a luxury van, Warren called out to her, "What the hell is this, Gaby? Is your boyfriend some kind of a drug lord?"

When she ignored him, Warren walked up to her and grabbed her arm as she carried a box of her belongings. "Gaby! You are making a mistake!"

"The only mistake I ever made was having a relationship with you!" She forcefully let go of her arm and said, "At least my boyfriend takes care of me!"

"Miss Taylor, is everything alright?" The driver of the van came down to check on her. This was the transportation that Mark had arranged for Gabrielle to ensure her swift and smooth transfer to the penthouse.

The driver, named Hank, then redirected his gaze to Warren and warned, "Please leave Miss Taylor alone or I will be forced to have you arrested... Clearly, Miss Taylor wants to be with my master's home... her... new boyfriend."

Gabrielle immediately flushed, realizing how Hank had heard her claims over Kyle Wright, but Warren thought of it as a sign that she turned shy by the thought of her new lover.

Warren wound up losing to Kyle either way, even when he was not around to protect Gabrielle from him. The presence of his driver, Hank, was enough to scare Warren away!

Finally left alone, Gabrielle drove off to The Second Diamond Hotel with Hank.

The entire time, she was silent and constantly blushing at what Hank had overheard. As soon as they pulled over at the hotel's driveway, she shyly explained, "Ummm... Hank... I - I was just trying to brush away from my ex, so I told him I was going to live with my boyfriend. I - I did not mean for Mr. Wright - "

"Oh, don't worry, child. I absolutely understand." From the rearview mirror, Hank winked at her and said, "Trust me, I'm sure Mr. Wright would not mind."

'How could Mr. Wright not mind?' She wondered, but before she could ask, the door to the car opened and Mark Esperanza officially welcomed Gabrielle.

Heartbeats later, Gabrielle found herself entering Kyle's penthouse with her jaws dropping. As she carried her things and as the hotel staff brought in her luggage, her eyes scanned the entire place.

"Wow." For seconds, she had been silently expressing the same amazement, but only after a minute did it finally come out of her mouth.

From the leather seats, the marble floors, and the stylish decor, Gabrielle was absolutely in awe. She later said, "I guess... this is the home of the rich and famous."

"As you can see, Miss Taylor. There are many things that need attention here, and it is your job that everything is well maintained," reminded Mark with a smile. "Now, shall I show you to your room?"
