MELTING MY CEO HEART - SEASON 2 EPISODE 1

After getting onto the plane, Liz realized that it was a different one. From the outside, it had looked the same, but inside, there was only a single seat and a door that led inside. As the door was open, Liz peeked inside and saw that there was actually a full bed inside.

Seeing her puzzled look, Will, who was sitting on the seat, said, “Oh, this is Keren’s plane. She was coming anyway, so we are using hers.”

The way he said it so casually made Liz just stand there and stare. Just how much money did this family have? Swallowing her astonishment, she saw that Keren had just opened the door she had peeked through just now.

“Come on in. I like flying solo, so I designed my plane in that way. There are two seats here though, for emergencies.” Nodding, Liz made her way inside, but just before the door closed, she shot a look at the CEO who was looking out the window. After the door closed, the first thing Keren did was sit down and buckle up, before patting the seat beside her.

However, Liz was stuck at the door, as she was wondering whether she had entered some hotel’s suite. It was an expansive room, and although she hadn’t been to first class suits in other planes, she could tell that this had been customized to maximise empty space.

Seeing that Liz had noticed this, Keren said, “Yes, I like it when things are…roomy. That’s also why I chose Seattle for my casino. Lot more open places where I can go to if I want. Well, that, and the fact that there are gamblers but no place to sponsor their addiction.

Take a seat, Liz. We will take off soon.” Nodding, Liz walked to the seat beside Keren and buckled up. “I’m glad you didn’t take off or launch into hysterics the moment you found out that my brother arranged it so that you would miss your picnic date.

That shows me that you are a measured woman. Of course, I knew that anyway, but it’s always nice to confirm things.” “I-it’s not a date.. Just some time with family. Besides, Luke can’t possibly think of me in that way.”

Of course, even while she was saying these words, she couldn’t help but remember that kiss on her cheek in her bedroom. Clapping her hands once, Keren smiled wide and said, “Ooh, Luke, is it? I love the name! And I would love to hear all about him,

I’m very interested. But it’s not the time for that right now. Tell me, Liz. Do you like my brother?”

Seeing such a direct question be thrown at her, Liz was stymied for a second. However, she had just thought about it before getting on, so she had the answer at the ready.

“I don’t know. But I do know that I…also like to spend time with him. I don’t know if you know what happened between us before, but it’s not in my place to talk about it. Anyway, I think that what he’s doing is kind of childish. And I intend to make him know that. Please don’t tell me what he is feeling, in case you were going to. I want to find out by myself. From him. But until then, we are just employee and boss who are spending time together to become friends. That’s exactly how I feel right now, but what it changes into is in his hands.”

Liz had thought that it might be embarrassing to put all her thoughts out, but now that she had done so, she felt…free. Relaxed. Clear. Turning to Keren, for the first time, she saw the woman have an amazed expression on her face. This made her smile wide, pulling Keren out of the spell that seemed to have been cast on her.

“Wow, Liz. I…am honestly, really impressed. You are the most…level-headed woman I’ve ever seen. Aside from myself, of course. You are clever enough to see how things how they are! I wasn’t a bad judge of character, after all! The only reason I told you the truth about him changing the plans and sold my brother out is because I trusted that you were someone who would take the information in the right way. If you had acted exaggeratedly, I would have found that out about you. So, what is your plan? Can I help?”

The compliment made Liz smile even wider, as even she was actually proud of herself right now. Moments of clarity came rarely, and when they did, she cherished them. As she replied, her smile took on a tint of mischievousness.

“Thank you! I was going to ask you myself. I can’t do it without your help, but I’m warning you, it might displease your brother.” At this, Keren actually chuckled and said, “Displease him? I hope it’ll piss him off! Guy has things going in his way most of the time. It won’t hurt to have the opposite happen for once. Let’s do it!”
