CEO Of My Heart
/ CEO of my Heart Chapter 206
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 . "
Advertisement"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 titles . 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 assessment . "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 luster . 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 glasses and scarf so you can pass for one of us commoners, Lady Braye . I'm sure the flashing lights will be normal for you soon . "
