I was shocked by his words. I never thought I, a mere trainee masseuse, could have the opportunity to become a CEO. I stared at him, unsure of what to say.
He chuckled at my surprise and reached out to pinch my cheek. "You may be my slave, but that doesn't mean you can't be a powerful boss by my side," he said with a wink.
I felt a surge of emotion at his words. I had never thought of myself as anything more than a slave, but now I was being offered the chance to rise above that status. It was a tempting prospect, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for such a responsibility.
"I-I don't know what to say," I stammered, still reeling from the shock of his offer.
He chuckled again and gave me a reassuring smile. "There's no need to make a decision right away. Just think about it and let me know what you decide. In the meantime, let's focus on your training. You have a lot of potentials, and I want to help you reach it."
I nodded, still feeling a bit overwhelmed. I wasn't sure if I was ready to become a CEO, but I was willing to give it my best shot. I would have to work hard and prove myself worthy of his trust.
He asked me where I wanted to open it. I told him I was thinking of opening it in the city center, where it would be easily accessible to a lot of potential clients.
He seemed pleased with my answer and asked me what kind of massage I would be offering. I explained that I wanted to offer a variety of specialized massages, such as hot stone therapy, Swedish massage, and deep tissue massage. I also mentioned that I wanted to offer some more exotic treatments, such as reflexology and shiatsu.
He raised an eyebrow at this and asked me if I was sure that was a good idea. I nodded confidently and explained that I had done my research and that these treatments were in high demand among a certain clientele. He seemed impressed by my knowledge and passion for the business, and he agreed to invest in my venture.
I was overjoyed and thanked him profusely. I couldn't believe that my dream of opening a massage parlor was finally becoming a reality. I promised him that I would work hard to make it a success and repay his investment.
With his help, I would be able to secure a prime location for my business and start building my clientele.
I thought Killian was pulling my legs about the position so I never brought it up.
It was nice to have that kind of dream even if it meant it was just for a few minutes.
I was in my office arranging some files when the phone rang.
I picked it up, "Mr. Killian's office." I said politely.
" come to my office, now." Came his cure command.
I dropped whatever I was doing and headed to his office. I didn't knock, I just pushed the door open.
"You asked to see me, sir?" I asked,
"Yes, here you go." He said as he handed me a file.
I took the file, opened it and all I could see was a document.
"Whose signature am I to get, sir?" I asked,
I narrowed my eyes at the document, it was for a building and it needed the owner's consent.
"Yours," he answered.
"What?" I asked in shock.
"The building, it's yours. Everything you need it's in there. I just need your signature." He said.
I frowned, "you weren't joking?" I asked,
"Why would I joke about that?" He frowned.
"But how?"
"That's the part of Andrew's property, I asked for it in exchange for him to come back." He said.
I nodded as I digested this, despite my lame attempt to disguise his offer as a joke.
Over the last few days, I threw myself into my training, determined to become the best masseuse I could be. I studied hard and practiced tirelessly, pouring all of my energy into improving my skills. I was determined to make the most of this opportunity and show him that I was capable of handling the responsibilities of a CEO.
I watched several videos on YouTube too and read books too.
I think My massage techniques improved, I bought a mannequin to practice on. I want to be able to provide my clients with a higher level of service. I was also gaining confidence in myself and my abilities.
"I can't believe this," I said as tears sprang to my eyes.
He looked at me with a proud smile and nodded. "I knew you were ready," he said. "Welcome to the team."
I threw caution to the wind as I ran to him, hugging him as he was seated on the chair.
"Thank you, thank you." I kissed his cheek.
He chuckled, "you are welcome."
"I will go see it after work," I informed him.
"I will take you." He offered.
"Thank you,"
I signed my signature on the document, my heart beating fast as I accepted my new position.
Me, a CEO?
This was happening, the urge to squeal was there but I couldn't do that in a work environment.
"I am proud of you, Catalina." He said.
My heart threatened to burst from overjoy. I took a moment to look at him, he was smiling from ear to ear as he stared at me.
I was just his slave and he did this for me. I didn't want to overthink it but I was overthinking it.
Did he like me so much to get me my own company?
We spent the rest of the day going over the details of running the shop, and he even gave me some advice on how to make it a success. He showed me where everything was kept and introduced me to the staff, who were all very friendly and welcoming.
As we walked through the shop, taking care of the necessary paperwork and formalities, I couldn't help but feel like I was living in a dream. I couldn't believe that I was now the legal owner of this shop, thanks to the man who walked beside me.
Even though we had never formally declared ourselves to be in a relationship, I could feel his affection for me in the way he looked at me, the way he spoke to me, and the way, he had gifted me this shop. It was clear to me that he cared for me deeply, even if he hadn't yet mustered up the courage to tell me so.
As we finished up the paperwork and I was handed the keys to the shop, I felt a sense of excitement and pride wash over me. This was my new home, my new business, and my new life. And, even though I didn't yet know what the future held for us, I was grateful to have the support and love of this kind man by my side.
As the day came to a close, I couldn't help but feel grateful for his help and support. I knew that this was a big step for me, and I was determined to make the most of it.
