The Heartless CEO English version

"Do I really need to dress up like this?" Nicole complained to Danica while looking at her own reflection in the big mirror in front of them.

Danica nodded at her best friend with a wide smile. "You look perfect!" Her eyes are shining as she complimented her.

Nicole pouted and she's not satisfied with what she's wearing. Her healthy breasts were almost bulging out. Aside from the long slit on the side of it that reveals her smooth and long leg with each step of the feet, it is also very fitted to her body.

"Oh, c'mon! You should get used to wearing this kind of dress. Remember, you're now working in a big company. Expect that there will be gatherings like the one we're going to."

Danica has a point, she also can't say no to her now because she is so indebted to her. She helped her get into a famous company. She does not know how her friend met the CEO of such a company. And up to this day, she is afraid to meet the man's sharp eyes.

In her whole life, it was the first time that her mother praised her when she knew that she got into a company as an assistant of a manager. Danica doesn't want anyone, even her mother, to know that she was the one who helped her. Her friend knows how her own mother treats her.

Her friend is ambitious and she admires her skills in obtaining what she wants in life. Even her parents admire her. Her mother would often compare her to Danica and belittle her. But she never felt jealousy toward her friend. Instead, she supports her so she can achieve her goals easily.

If they're talking about life status, her family is better than Danica's. She is her mother's godchild, that's why she almost lived with them and became her mother's favorite. After they graduated from college, they separated for a few years. She didn't know where did she go and what she did. Now, she is the girlfriend of a hostile CEO of a company.

At her age of twenty-two, she has never experienced being in a relationship yet. She is not that picky, but she liked no one among those who courted her. Danica has the same age as her and according to what she knows, her boyfriend is twenty-eight years old. The man allegedly became an orphan at a young age with his sister, so they were trained to handle their company as children.

"But is it really needed to wear something as sexy as this? You know that I'm not used and comfortable with these." Nicole continued to complain.

She will just accompany Danica to attend the grand opening of her boyfriend's hotel in Makati. But with her look, her friend was the one who seemed to be the assistant between them.

"What's with you? Don't you trust my fashion sense?" Danica sounded upset.

"That is not what I meant, Danica. Look at yourself compare to me." Nicole pointed at themselves in front of the mirror so she can see what she's talking about

Danica's left eyebrow furrowed as she stares at themselves in the mirror. She is not blind to not seeing what's wrong with how they look today. But it is a part of her plan and it's okay if she wouldn't look outstanding in the eyes of everyone.

"Do I look ugly?"

"No!" Nicole answered quickly because it seems that she offended her. She knows that she doesn't like it when her look is being criticized because whatever she wears, suits her and she always looks pretty.

"Then, there's no problem!" She smiled at Nicole and fixed her hair again. She's also the one who styled it and curled the ends so her friend would look sophisticated.

Nicole chose to stop arguing with her friend. They leave together using her car. It is her first time to attend a grand event, thus she is afraid to be separated from her friend's side.

"Danica, why did you bring her here?" Rita whispered to her friend when she approached them.

Danica smiled at Steven's sister. She was the reason why she became close to the young man and she obviously dislikes her friend, Nicole, when she introduced her before.

Nicole heard Rita's judgment of her look. That's why she doesn't like her look from the beginning. She looks like an antagonist who wants to appear better than her own friend. She has no idea why Rita despises her ever since they met.

"Um, Nicole, excuse us first."

Smiling, she nodded at Danica and pretended that she hears nothing from Rita. When she locked eyes with Rita, she rolled her eyes after she examined her whole appearance.

"Why did you let that bitch to look better than you?" Rita scolded Danica when they get away from Nicole.

"Rita, please! You know how indebted I am to her family, right? I don't want her to be upset with me so I agreed to her wishes." She said to her friend, who will soon be her sister-in-law.

Rita sighed before hugging her friend. She hates seeing her sad, thus she's always the one who argues with her brother whenever she would find out that the two had a misunderstanding in their relationship. She was so happy when she found her after so many years. She's making it up to her and because her brother loves her so much, he gives her everything she wants.

"I don't like her to stick to my brother. It's obvious that she wants to seduce my brother so she dressed up like that." She said to Danica, who she treats like her own sister before she went back to where she was.

A strange smile formed on Danica's lips behind her friend's back. She quickly went back to Nicole and dragged her near Steven.

"Honey, congratulations!" She kissed the young man's lips when he looked at her. She felt that he was surprised by what she did. She knows that what she did was like taking advantage of the situation. He's her boyfriend, but he is not showy in public about their relationship.
