CEO Of My Heart

Ellie looked out of the window at the bustling city outside as she considered her friend"s words .   "Good that this has happened is something I do agree with . It"s difficult to see as my sisters did not really manage anything correctly .   It"s a shame really, but I am glad to return to Europe finally . I"ve been avoiding the place for a long time . I"ve been meaning to visit my father"s grave again for a long time .   I"d like to take my mother"s ashes to him, which I know she would want as her final resting place . "

Advertis.e.m.e.nt"I didn"t know your siblings were cruel enough to disrespect your mother like that .   From what I knew of your mother I can"t imagine that she would have been anything but kind to them when they were children . " Helen shook her head wistfully as she considered her friend . "I know from our text messages you were worried that Henry was too good for you .   Now at least you don"t have to worry about that if you want to continue to pursue him . "

"He is a CEO who made the 30 under 30 Forbes List .   By all accounts his career should continue to rise and he should accomplish a lot more impressive things .   I also found out he did make his money before he inherited . He took out his own student loans for business school as well .   Everything about him is impressive . Yes, I was a professional NASCAR driver, but I don"t have any accomplishments . My career was very mediocre for the most part .   I never really won any major t.i.tles . I"m not on lists . I just made enough prize money to get by . I didn"t tell anyone, but by the time I would have died there would have just been enough for Nolan to graduate .   Now that I have this this baronry, the gap between us is less, but it"s still noticeable . If we did go out people would probably say I only got my money because of who my father was and luck . I don"t think Henry or I would like that . " She put her elbow on the table while she spoke of her insecurity . "I wish this change has been more meaningful . It"s just farmland and a museum if you look at it critically . The plus in all of this is Henry is really good at management so he is actually really excited to straighten things out .   I"m not sure, but I have a feeling that he might stay married to me just to be a Lord . Imagine two Chinese Americans inheriting a piece of British history . It would be booming business if we capitalized on how strange this is . I know that excites him as a CEO whose trapped in his company by politics .   This is a bit of an escape for him . I"m glad to see the spark of innovation, but I doubt that if I stayed with him it would melt into the love I want . "

"What is love these days?  I don"t think staying married to such a valuable person would be unwise .   You"re not depend on him by any means . You have your own money know and he"s not the type to screw you out of your own money .   He"s nice to you and your friends . Henry even though he is photographed with other women, he"s never given you a reason to believe he is cheating publically .   The partnership between is strong from your hospital experience . Nolan likes him . You have all the pieces there to pure gold . I just hope and pray that you guys fixing up this crazy house to a tourist trap can really help you guys put the pieces together to work it out . "

"That"s kind of a messed up way to look at the situation, Helen . " Ellie looked a bit unsettled by her friend"s a.s.sessment . "You always talk about how the most important thing to you in life is love and being loved .   To hear such straightforward advice from you really shocks me . I have always seen you as following your heart . "

"You are following your heart and being practical at the same time," Helen reminded Ellie . "I would never be in your situation . You"re a much kinder person than I am and someone like Henry would never consider me .   I wouldn"t have the patience to deal with someone like Henry anyways . His strange hot and cold method of dealing with you always makes me feel like he"s not completely committed to you .   It makes me sad that if there is some shadowy beautiful model he"s been doing, then all of these wonderful things that have happened to you will lose their l.u.s.ter . I don"t want that to happen to you now that you"ve finally gotten better .   I"ll make sure to give him a piece of my mind if he really doesn"t treat you better . I hope something clears his mind that you"re a perfect match for him, but I know men aren"t that simple . "

Ellie shrugged as she finished her coffee .   "You can say that again . I too do wish that men were more simple .   However, I do understand now why someone as amazing as he is would stay single for so long . I have been getting a lot more attention on social media from men who are interested in me .   I"m sure if I check the statistics the upward trend will continue . I hated when I had overzealous fans from racing, but now I"m suddenly a hot commodity again . It"s only been what two hours since it was reported on CNN and people are going crazy .   I"m sure this is what Henry meant when he told me to be careful of stalkers and people ripping me off . I just want the money, not the fame . "

"Isn"t that the typical popstar thing to say?  It isn"t good, you"re right . But you"ve got your gla.s.ses and scarf so you can pa.s.s for one of us commoners, Lady Braye .   I"m sure the flashing lights will be normal for you soon . "
