Naughty Ceo’s Secret
Chapter 48

Its now Thursday afternoon, and I am more confused now than I was on Monday.

The rest of this week has been going exactly like Monday.

Kenzo spends all day giving me the cold shoulder. He treats me exactly like I'm his secretary, and nothing else. I don't get a smile, or those intense black eyes on me. He does tell me thank you still at least.

Then when everyone goes home, Kenzo pulls me into his office. He fu.cks me like it's our first time together, every single time. Its always amazing. More than amazing.

Then Kenzo sends me on my way. He still has Ben pick me up, and take me home. Although, Kenzo never kisses me good bye. If I don't greet him in the morning, he doesn't say anything to me. And he refuses to let me use his name. I have no idea what's going on. I feel like I'm walking on egg shells now. Kenzo went from being so sweet, so caring.

To.. whatever this is.

Its not like Kenzo has been being mean. He would have to have an actual conversation with me in order to be mean.

Thats the problem.

It feels like Kenzo is ignoring me all day, only to fu.ck me in the evenings. He doesn't ask me how my day has been. He doesn't try to have dinner with me. He doesn't call me late at night anymore.

I think I might just be a f**k buddy at this point. A piece of a*s that he can get when he's not at the Pet Store. I don't even know if he's been going there all week, or what he's been doing.

I feel further away from Kenzo than I did the first day I became his secretary. I thought that we were getting closer.

I wanted to be his Sub, his girlfriend.

Maybe I've had this whole thing wrong this whole time.

Kenzo did say that he would only be parading me around the Pet Store. I tried not to look too much into his words at the time, but now..

Kenzo said that he never had a Sub/girlfriend of his own because it's not easy to mix his Dom life with his CEO life. I thought that he was trying to tell me that I was perfect for him in that moment. Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe Kenzo never wanted to mix the two to begin with. Or maybe he just doesn't want that with me like I thought.

Because it really seems like Kenzo is trying everything he can to keep the two sides of him separate.

Is this because he thinks I would tell people? Maybe after sleeping with me Kenzo realized he didn't want me like that anymore?

If Kenzo would have been like this from the start, I might not even be thinking this much into it. But that isn't the case. Now I'm too confused, and I don't know what to do.

Kenzo is still fucking me. Which confuses me on if he actually wants me or not. This has to be just a fu.ck buddy thing. He decided he didn't want a relationship, but still likes sleeping with me.

Maybe if we could go out on another date then-

"Hey there darling."

I looked up to see Beck at my desk, interrupting my thoughts.

"Hi Beck." I greeted him flatly.

Beck raised a brow at me.

"No snarky comments for me today?" He teased.

I shook my head.

"Mr. Suzuki is waiting for you. You can go in his office." I said.

Beck walked around my desk. He grabbed my chin, and pulled my face up to his. I frowned. He isn't supposed to be touching me without Kenzo's permission. "What do you think you're"

"What's wrong?" Beck asked interrupting me.

My eyes went wide for a moment. He can tell something is wrong? I thought I was doing well at hiding it..

"Nothing. Let me go before you get me in trouble." I said as I swatted Beck's arm.

"You're not acting like yourself Opal." Beck said.

At least he let go of me.

"Yeah well, seems to be the theme around here." I mumbled

"What is that supposed to mean?" Beck asked.

I opened my mouth, just as my office phone rang. looked at it. It's Kenzo.

This is another new thing. Instead of poking his head out of his office to speak to me, he's been calling my extension.

It's like he can't stand to be around me during office hours.

"Yes Mr. Suzuki?" I asked as I picked up the phone.

Beck gave me a funny look, so I averted my eyes.

"Where is Mr. Rossi? He should be here by now." Kenzo asked.

"He just got here. Sending him in now." I replied.

"Good." He said.

"Is there anything-" I tried to ask, but the line cut off.

I cleared my throat before turning to Beck.

"Mr. Suzuki will see you now." I said.

"What the hell was that about? Why is Kenzo calling you?" Beck asked

I shrugged.

"You'd have to ask him that." I said.

"Opal-"

"If you'll excuse me, I need to use the restroom." I interrupted him.

I got to my feet, and rushed to the bathroom. The moment I was behind a stall door I finally let the tears come. I sat down on the toilet, and took deep breaths.

I'm so confused. I don't understand what's going on. I don't even know if I can ask Kenzo about it either..

"I can't believe that you're really still saying that Kenzo is sleeping with that girl."

s**t, someone came in. Is that the girl that used to be Kenzo's secretary? The June girl?

"I just think it's strange that he kicked you out to bring her up here."

That's Judy. Of fu.cking course.

"Please." June scoffed.

. "Even if he is fucking her, it must be a big secret. I mean come on. Who would want someone like her on their arm. It's only a matter of time before he kicks her to the curb, and takes me back. We look way better together than that plain girl." She said. "You don't think it could be something more than just s.ex between them? I hear they stay late a lot, and that Mr.

Suzuki's driver has been taking her to and from work."

Mary is with them too?

"I'm not sure what's going on between them, but I know that it won't last long." June said. "I mean, Opal be with someone like him? Yeah right. He's probably just too embarrassed to admit that he fucked her, and is waiting for the right time to fire her." She said. "Yeah, honestly. That has to be it." Judy agreed.

I listened to their voices get quieter as they left the bathroom. I never thought that their gossip held any truth.

Now I'm not sure.

Because honestly. It really seems like Kenzo is ashamed to be with me.

*******

"Where are you going kit."

"I'm leaving." I interrupted Kenzo before he could get started.

"Excuse me?" Kenzo asked sounding angry.

"I'm going home. I'm not staying today." I said.

"I make the rules here kitten." Kenzo said.

I looked up into his eyes for the first time today. My body is begging me to give in, to stay with him. But my heart can't take it today. "Pineapple." I muttered

Kenzo's expression didn't change in the slightly. I don't think he cares at all that I used my safe word. Before we even go started too.

"Opal." He said softly.

I had to look away from him. I might give in if those black eyes soften at all. And I don't want to be ashamed of myself anymore than I already am.

"I will see you in the morning Mr. Suzuki."

With that I walked out. Kenzo didn't come after me.

*******

I walked into my apartment, and shut the door. I leaned against it as I blew out a breath. I kept myself together the whole way back. Although, I didn't say anything to Ben which wasn't normal for me. "There you are!"

My head snapped up at the sound of that voice.

"I thought you would be home hours ago. Although, Jed said that you wouldn't be home until really late. I knew that he was lying to me."

"Jezz.." I breathed out. "Wh-what are you doing here?" I asked.

What the actual f**k is my sister doing here?

Jezzlyn looks just the same as always. Her long thick brown hair is hanging around her in waves. It's a few shades lighter than Jed's. Jezz's bright blue eyes are sparkling like usual. She has on a full face of makeup that looks like a professional did it. Stunning. Jezz looks the same as always, which is stunning. The complete opposite of me. Or at least that's what our mom always says. I've always been the oddball.

"I came to visit my sister of course." Jezz said as she pulled me into a hug.

Yeah right. Jezz never comes to visit me. I've lived in this apartment for years, and this is the first time shes ever seen it. My sister and I have never been close. She's always been our parents favorite. A perfect little princess. "Uh, okay." I said as I hugged her back.

I can see Jed standing behind her. He gave me an apologetic look, and shrugged. Jed must have let her in.

"So, how long are you staying? Just the day?" I asked.

Jezz waved me off, and laughed.

"No, I'm going to stay the weekend."
