Chapter 004: The New CEO's Arrival
Kim Huxley arrived at John F Kennedy International airport where he awaits his PA to come to pick him up.
He wore a white shirt that was nicely tucked inside his black trouser. He wore shiny black shoes and he had his suitcase with him. Everyone that saw him knew him, especially his fans that had been waiting for him since yesterday.
"Kim! I love you". Some girls screamed.
"I love you!"
Kim waved at them with a cute smile on his face. He was glad there were officers there to keep them in place. He checked his time it was 8 am and whoever was going to pick him isn't here yet. He dialed Mr. Owen's number but unfortunately, it was switched off. He was already losing his patient. If he had known such would happen, he would have come with some of his brothers.

Riele woke up late only for her to check her phone and see twenty missed calls. She quickly showered, brushed her teeth, and put on her jumpsuit and canvas. She packed her curly hair in a Ponytail. She took a white cap and her glasses just in case he wants to throw a fit.
She ran out of the house as a call came in from an unknown number. She wasn't in any mood to pick up any strange calls. She boarded a taxi that took her to the airport. She paid the driver as she searched for the guy. She forgot to bring the file, how on earth was she going to identify him now?
She heard some group of girls screaming 'Kim Huxley'. She moved closer to see if it was the same person. She has never seen his color of skin before. He wore a white shirt and black trousers and he had eyeglasses on. She moved closer to him and to be honest she must admit, he looks handsome. She tried to find her voice. "Excuse me". She said tapping the young man.
He turned to face her and the moment their eyes met, she almost lost her balance. Good thing I am not wearing heels. She thought as Kim removed his glasses, taking a good look at her. He didn't say any word to her. He puts on his glasses and handed his suitcase to her as he waited for her to lead the way.
Riele already must admit she doesn't like him just like the fact he's cute. He's probably a rich spoilt brat. She thought as she boarded a taxi. The driver took the luggage and put it inside his booth while Riele waited for him to get in before she did. The driver came inside the car, started the engine, and zoomed off.
Kim's phone rang as he looked at Riele before picking up the call. "Bro". He called.
Riele turned to see the smile on his face. He's cute no doubt.
"Yes, I have gotten there." He replied.
After a pause, he looked at her before replying. "she looks okay."
Riele felt so uncomfortable around him. She watched him with keen interest trying to see if she can make out a few words but he started whispering on the phone and she couldn't make out what he was saying.
He hung up and waited for the car to come to a halt before he got down. Riele went to get the suitcase from the booth as she followed him to the office.

Everyone had gathered around waiting for the arrival of the new CEO. Immediately Kim and Riele entered, and some girls were screaming and shouting his name. Riele turned to look at them only to see that some painted their faces. She tried so hard to hold her laughter. She glance at her friend who gave her a death sentence look. Riele could tell she was in trouble with her.
"Welcome Kim". Mr. Owen said as he shook his hand. "Everyone this is Kim Huxley. He's the new CEO and I'd like for you all to behave yourself around him. And to you ladies...be careful". He warned as he gave way for Kim to introduce himself and say a few words.
"Thank you, Mr. Owen". he said as Riele exclaimed. Everyone turned to look at her. She pretended like she had a cough. "I'm Kim Huxley and I will cut to the chase. I don't like ladies that paint their faces to impress me". He said as he pointed to a few ladies. "I don't like tardiness". He said directing his gaze to Riele". "I don't like to explain myself twice. I like things to be done neatly and orderly. If I see anyone not working when he or she should, I won't hesitate to fire that individual. If there are more things I think you all should know, I'll let you know". Everyone clapped after he gave his speech. Mr. Owen then walked him to his office.
Riele sighed as she went to meet Charlotte. "ok before you kill me, can you tell me why you called? And I got your text". She said as Charlotte pulled her closer.
"Did you find what I told you to search for?". She asked.
"Um...just a few words but I don't know what you want me to look for exactly".
"Pea brain ". Charlotte called her as she showed Riele a picture of Diamond Boys where Kim Huxley's picture was easy to view. "Now look at this". she gave the phone to her as Riele looked at it.
"Wait! This is our boss". she said. "He's a member of Diamond Boys?". Riele asked in shock.
"Not only is our boss cute, and handsome but he's also a singer and a dancer?".
"Not to forget he's rude and a heartless jerk".
"I can't wait to get him to touch me". One of the girls called Amber said as Riele and Charlotte looked at her before going back to their discussion.
"This new CEO is going to render so many hearts broken. I can't wait!". Riele said.
"Riele Grants!". Mr. Owen called and she could tell that from the tone of his voice, she was in big trouble.
