The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

"Stay here. Don't follow me," Clifford commanded him with his stern voice. After saying that, he turned around to follow Zhen-Zhen.

Assistant: "..."

The assistant couldn't believe that Clifford would ask him to stay behind. He just watched Clifford's back, still wondering why he was suddenly fine having this girl's company in buying his suit.

The most common thing he would do in a situation like this was to ignore the woman after lashing out at her. He was the CEO of a company. He could buy his new suit with his own money. Why asked her to buy him a suit?

After a few seconds of racking his brain hard, some speculations crossed his mind.

"Wait… don't tell me he was charmed by the woman's beauty??! No way?! I thought he was already immune to beautiful women! Many had tried to chase after him but they all failed. He hated women but how come he suddenly changed his behavior toward this certain woman?" Clifford's assistant couldn't help but marvel at that thought.

*Ringtone Playing*

~ One Message Received ~

The assistant received a message from Clifford. He immediately opened it.

[ Big Boss: "Dex, Go and proceed to the venue of our meeting first. I will follow after I'm done changing my suit. Message me if Mr. Lee arrives. ]

The assistant name was Dexter. Clifford was calling him Dex for short. He typed his response before following his order.

[ Assistant Dex: "Noted, Boss. I'm on my way to the venue. See you later. Enjoy! (Insert Winking Emoji ) ]

Dexter already sent his message before he realized that he was not supposed to add the last word "Enjoy!" and the winking emoji.

"Shit! I'm doomed!" He cringed in fear after realizing his mistake. He waited for Clifford's reply, expecting that his big Boss would scold him big time. But minutes passed, the message he was expecting didn't arrive so Dexter heaved a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Clifford was staring at his phone screen with a frown on his stern face. His eyes were fixed on the last word and winking emoji that his assistant added in his message.

"Enjoy? What is he talking about?" Clifford mumbled to himself.

His focus was still on his phone when suddenly he felt a soft hand grab his arm, thus stopping him from walking further. The moment he turned to his side, his brown eyes met Zhen-Zhen's blue eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked her in confusion.

Zhen-Zhen flashed her charming smile before answering him.

"You scolded me a while ago for not paying attention to my surroundings. But now, you are doing it yourself. You almost bump into an elder." Zhen-Zhen pointed her forefinger at the senior citizen walking away from their spots.

Clifford was taken aback by her words. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He looked away, hiding his reddened face.

"I'm sorry," he apologized again.

'Damn! Why am I apologizing again? This is the second time that I apologized today to the same person.' Clifford scolded himself inwardly.

Zhen-Zhen giggled after seeing his embarrassed expression. When he heard that, Clifford shifted his gaze back at her. He was looking at her, feeling amused. He couldn't explain why but her giggles were like a piece of music in his ears.

Zhen-Zhen stopped laughing as she pulled him inside the Department Store's men's clothes section. They needed to buy his suit fast so that she could follow Sophia and Marcus.

She was worried that Sophia might feel nervous and uncomfortable if she learned that she's not following them anymore. But at the same time, she was positive that Sophia could manage it by herself.

On the other hand, Clifford was obediently following Zhen-Zhen, letting her pull him inside the store. He had mixed emotions as he watched Zhen-Zhen's hand gripping his arm.

Upon arriving at the men's clothes section, Zhen-Zhen immediately released him and picked up some suits that might fit according to his size. Zhen-Zhen already made a mental calculation based on his muscular and body built.

"Try them!" Zhen-Zhen cheerfully said, handing three sets of suits over to Clifford.

She looked like a girlfriend choosing clothes for his boyfriend. That's what Clifford was thinking at that moment as he glanced at her with amusement.

He couldn't utter a word. He just accepted those suits she picked for him as he went to the changing room. Zhen-Zhen just smiled while watching his back.

When Clifford disappeared from her sight, she messaged Sophia, asking about their current location. It did not take long when Zhen-Zhen received a reply from her.

[ Sunbae Sophia: "Lillie, Marcus invited me to go for a road trip and to stroll around the city. Don't worry about me. I can already handle this. I don't want to trouble nor burden you for following us. Thank you. I will update you later. Mwuah." ]

Zhen-Zhen was glad that Sophia's friendly date with Marcus was going smoothly. She wanted her to enjoy this day. She sent her another message.

[ Sis Lillie: "Okay, Sunbae. I hope you will enjoy this date. Please take care. Update me later. I will be waiting. Mwuah." ]

[ Sunbae Sophia: "Yes, dear. I will call you right away once I get home. See you on Monday at our favorite spot." ]

Zhen-Zhen decided to message Tristan, informing him that she was no longer following Sophia and Marcus.

[ My Beautiful Wifey: "Hubby, I stopped following Sophia and Marcus. Should I go home straight or will you fetch me here?" ]

After a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen immediately received a reply from Tristan.

[ My Sweet Hubby: "Wifey, I can come and fetch you there in 15-20 minutes. Are you willing to wait for me?" ]

[ My Beautiful Wifey: "Yes, hubby. I will just wait for you here." ]

[ My Sweet Hubby: "I'll be there soon, wifey. I miss you. Mwuah. ]

Zhen-Zhen was still exchanging messages with Tristan when Clifford came out of the changing room. While he was walking toward Zhen-Zhen, a girl who was shopping together with her best friend noticed his presence.

"Sis, that person… he is Clifford right. Your ex-fiancee!" The girl blurted out, catching the attention of the other girl beside her.

The girl followed her friend's line of sight then she saw the handsome man in a black suit. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw him.

It had been a long time since the last time she saw him. For unknown reasons, she felt like her heart was being squeezed right now. The regret and guilt could be seen in her dark eyes.

Her friend noticed her saddened expression. She felt sorry for her. She knew it was her friend's fault but she's a proud girl who didn't want to admit her mistakes. She's a stubborn woman. Because of that, she lost a great man like Clifford.

"Olive, why don't you greet him? Maybe he is not mad anymore?" Her friend suggested to her.

Complicated emotions flashed in her eyes when she heard that. She had to admit that she really wanted to talk to him again and ask him how he's doing.

After contemplating for a few seconds, Olive exhaled deeply and nodded her head.

"Alright, Ana, let's greet him," she said with a faint smile on her face.
