An Offer from the CEO: An Age Gap Romance

His face becomes serious. "I know your family has a lot of debt, Charity."

I stiffen. Does a CEO normally concern himself with the financial troubles of a lowly office assistant?

"There are your mother's unpaid hospital bills, your father's unwise loan to his brother, your own brother's gambling…"

My grip tightens on my bottled water. How does he know all of that?

"I'll take care of that debt," Adam says.

I catch my breath. Chance Enterprises is a multi-billion dollar company, so I know he has the means to pay off my family's mountain of debt.

"Why would you do that?" I ask. Then I remember that Mr. Chance is known for his philanthropy. Does he see me as a pitiful charity case? Is that why he has been so nice to me?

"Because I want something in exchange."

"What do you…?"

I get my answer when he strokes the hem of my black pencil skirt.
