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

Dexter didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing seeing Olive here. His Boss was currently having a 'dinner date' with Lillie Davis.

What if Clifford's mood would change suddenly once he saw Olive? Then his plan tonight would be ruined and interrupted as well.

Olive was still waiting for Dexter's response when her eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar figure nearby. She was glad to see Clifford.

But the happiness she felt was replaced by disappointment as soon as she saw the woman sitting in front of Clifford. She was the same woman she met at the mall together with Clifford.

A pang of jealousy surged inside her as she recalled Clifford calling that girl 'sweety'. She assumed that they were in a relationship.

After a while, a deep frown appeared on Olive's face upon noticing Zhen-Zhen in her college uniform.

'Is this the reason why we didn't hear any news regarding Clifford and this woman? Their relationship is still a secret since she is still a college student,' Olive began to speculate in her mind as she continued watching Clifford and Zhen-Zhen at their table.

Olive came to that restaurant because Ana invited her to hangout tonight. She heard from  Ana that this new restaurant was really great in terms of their service and food.

She didn't expect that she would meet her ex-fiancé while having a dinner date with his new girlfriend. Olive was still not used to seeing Clifford with another woman.

She was contemplating whether to greet them or not. She was afraid that Clifford would ignore her again just like what happened in the Mall before.

But part of her wanted to talk to Clifford. She wanted to know if she could still affect his emotions. She wanted to win him back.

Taking a deep breath, Olive walked over to approach Clifford and Zhen-Zhen. She wondered if Zhen-Zhen was aware that she's Clifford's ex-fiancé.

Dexter who was still undecided what to tell Olive just watched her walk away. He gasped in surprise when he realized that Olive was walking toward Clifford's and Zhen-Zhen's table.

"Oh no!" That's the only word Dexter could utter as of this moment.

Meanwhile, Olive already reached their table. She spoke up to make her presence known to them.

"Hello, we met again. I'm glad to see you both here," Olive softly said while flashing her charming smile at Clifford.

Clifford's expression changed instantly after seeing the newcomer. Zhen-Zhen, on the other hand, smiled back at her. She recognized this girl. She could remember that they met at the mall.

​ "Hello, Miss. You were the lady we met at the mall before. I'm glad to see you too. Are you also here to eat?" Zhen-Zhen greeted Olive cheerfully.

She was very friendly toward Olive, which was exactly opposite to Clifford's attitude.

"Yes, my friend and I decided to eat dinner here tonight. This restaurant is quite famous here," Olive responded to Zhen-Zhen.

Olive didn't expect that Zhen-Zhen would act friendly to her.

'Is she not aware that I am Clifford's ex or she just doesn't care?' Olive marveled at that thought.

Then she turned to Clifford who was now very silent in his seat. He didn't hide his displeasure after being disturbed by Olive.

'What is she trying to do here? Is she blind? What's her purpose for approaching us? We are not in that relationship to casually greet each other whenever we will cross paths.'

Clifford clenched his fists. His momentum was ruined because of Olive's arrival.

"Cliff, are you not going to introduce me to this beautiful lady?" Olive said, trying to lighten the atmosphere between Clifford and her.

Clifford glanced at her with a cold and indifferent expression on his face.

"Can't you see that we are having our dinner here? You are interrupting us. Why don't you go to your table and wait for your friend, instead of disturbing us here?" Clifford blatantly said to Olive.

Both Olive and Zhen-Zhen were stunned for a moment when they heard that. No one expected that Clifford would be so rude toward Olive.

Olive felt like she was slapped on the face because of Clifford's hurtful words. He was cold and rude to her even though Zhen-Zhen was with them.

She was humiliated. She wished that the ground would open up for her and swallow her whole just to hide from them. Her eyes became teary. She wanted to cry but she tried her best not to shed tears in front of him.

Clifford just looked away and focused his attention back on his food while Zhen-Zhen was still speechless in her seat. Olive, on the other hand, turned around to leave their table.

She was afraid that if she stayed for another second then she could no longer hold her tears. With a heavy heart, Olive walked away, not looking back in Clifford's direction.

The moment was already ruined. Zhen-Zhen decided to cancel their order of garlic buttered shrimp. Clifford also lost his appetite and he was no longer in the mood.

After paying for the bill, Clifford and Zhen-Zhen left the restaurant immediately. He would drop her at home. The two of them were very silent inside the car.

After a while, Clifford was the first one who broke the silence.

"Lillie, I'm sorry," Clifford muttered, regret was visible in his brown eyes

Zhen-Zhen glanced at him in confusion. "Why are you apologizing to me?"

"I'm sorry for what happened in the restaurant a while ago. I know I became so rude. I even ruined the moment. I don't want you to see that side of me but I couldn't help it."

"Hmm, you should not apologize to me, but to her," Zhen-Zhen said, smiling faintly at him. She was referring to Olive.

Clifford fell silent after hearing that. Complex emotions were flashing on his face.

"I know it's not my place to ask you this. But… I'm curious why are you so rude toward her? Who is she?"

Clifford took a deep breath before answering Zhen-Zhen.

"Her name is Olive. She's my ex-fiancé." Clifford smiled bitterly after saying that. His eyes were still on the road.

Zhen-Zhen was surprised to hear that. Many more questions were formed in her mind.

'Ex-fiancé? So they were in love with each other and they were supposed to marry each other? So what happened? Why does Clifford hate her so much?'

Zhen-Zhen didn't voice out what's on her mind but Clifford gave her answers to those questions.

"Just like other couples, Olive and I were so in love. Or it was just me who was thinking about that. I told myself she's the only woman whom I wanted to spend my life with, forever. I loved her so much. I was willing to give her everything," Clifford started to open up with Zhen-Zhen.

"We were in a relationship for 6 years and we decided to tie the knot. Everything was going well between us, until she met a guy during her business trip abroad," A cold glint flashed through his eyes as he remembered the past.

"Later on, I found out that she continued seeing the guy when they came back here in the City of Empire. She threw away our 6-year relationship for that guy whom she just met. She cheated on me. You didn't know how devastated I was at that time."

"I… I even tried committing suicide because I couldn't accept it… but later on, I realized I shouldn't waste my life because of that."

"Now, can you understand now the reason why I am being so rude to her?"

'The reason why I am doing this to you. I'm sorry Lillie, but I have to use you to get my revenge against that guy.' Clifford thought to himself while looking at Zhen-Zhen meaningfully.

Zhen-Zhen could feel Clifford's pain right now. Though she hadn't experienced being betrayed by someone she loved she knew that it was one of the worst feelings in the world.

Putting herself in Clifford's shoes, she would feel the same if ever Tristan would do this to her. However, she believed that Tristan would never do it to her. Because of that, Zhen-Zhen pitied Clifford.

The woman he loved dearly betrayed him. He said they were in love so how could someone change his or her heart quickly just after meeting someone?

But thinking about it, love was unpredictable sometimes. She couldn't judge Olive right away because just like her, Tristan changed his heart after meeting her. He loved Hannah first but his feelings changed when he got to know Zhen-Zhen.

But the question was... Did Olive love Tristan before? Could her feelings for Tristan be considered love or just a mere attraction? Or a temptation?
