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

Andrew would lie if he told himself that Alveena's words didn't affect him that much. Because it really did affect him, making his heart flutter.

'She doesn't mind being taken advantage of if the person is me. How can she say that with a blushing face? Argh, I have the urge to kiss here.' Andrew lamented to himself, trying his best to control his desire.

Alveena decided to get up. She could no longer stay there. It would be so awkward since Andrew was now wide awake.

Since she was done apologizing to him, she had to escape now and save her heart from breaking further. She couldn't be with him.

Alveena was about to leave when Andrew caught her elbow right away, thus stopping her from moving. She turned to him with a questioning gaze.

Andrew had complicated expressions on his face. Alveena couldn't figure out what he was thinking. She waited for him to speak up.

"Please… stay here for a while."

Alveena: "..."

It felt like her heart just suddenly jumped inside her chest the moment she heard those words from Andrew.

'He wants me to stay… with him… for a while.'

Alveena couldn't understand him. 'Andrew, why are you doing this to me? Of course, I would love to do that. But my heart… How can I secure my heart? Please don't give me false hope.'

Alveena slammed her eyes shut, ready to turn his invitation down. But in the end, she still nodded her head.

"Okay…" She softly mumbled that brought spark in Andrew's hazel eyes.

Andrew's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. He was glad that Alveena agreed to stay with him even just for a while. Even he, himself, didn't know what he was doing. He just wanted to be with Alveena.

Without releasing her arm, Andrew stood up and called someone from the front desk. He told them that he wanted to order food good for two people.

He heard Alveena's stomach grumbling moments ago so he thought she was hungry. Alveena's cheeks reddened from embarrassment. She didn't expect that Andrew knew that she was hungry.

It did not take long when the food was delivered to his room. The two of them began to eat silently. Andrew was stealing a glance at Alveena from time to time.

Though they were silent, both of them were enjoying their meals. It had been so long since the last time they had eaten together.

Now that Alveena was no longer his personal assistant, he didn't know when they would be able to eat together once again after this. Thinking about Alveena avoiding him from now on, Andrew couldn't help but feel sad.

'Am I being greedy? Am I being selfish? I know I should stay away from her so that she can forget me easily. But why do I feel sad just thinking about Alveena staying away from me?'

Andrew was still having a hard time figuring out what he wanted. He became confused again after seeing Alveena here.

To divert his attention, he decided to open a conversation with her. If he would stay silent then he would keep on thinking about his complicated feelings.

"Why are you here? Are you also attending the conference? Do you belong to the finance department of your new company?" Andrew asked Alveena curiously. He wanted to know which company she was working for.

Alveena paused for a moment. Andrew had no idea that she was the new finance director of the Sy Corp. All he knew was that she got a new job from a new company.

Alveena started to feel anxious about this. She already lost her courage to tell him the truth. She was the sister of Clifford Sy, the CEO of Sy Corp. She came from the company that sabotaged the Heavenly Star Enterprise several times.

She didn't want to ruin this moment so she decided not to tell him the truth yet. Alveena just nodded her head as a response. She just continued eating.

Sensing that Alveena didn't want to talk about her new job, Andrew stopped asking her further. When they were done, Andrew didn't know what excuse he would tell her just to spend more time with her.

"Thank you for the meals," Alveena said, giving him a faint smile.

"There is no activity yet so you have free time this afternoon. The social gathering will start at 8:00 pm tonight. What is your plan today?" Andrew glanced at her expectantly.

Alveena gazed at him confusedly.

'Why is he asking me this? Don't tell me he is planning to accompany me during our free time?'

She disregarded that thought right away. She didn't want to expect things. She thought maybe Andrew just asked her this question to have a conversation with her. They were quiet during the entire meal so he just wanted to break the silence again.

With that thought in mind, Alveena just told him that they would have a team meeting so she would not be free.

Andrew felt disappointed when he heard her answer. "Okay. I guess we will see each other during the Social Night."

Alveena just simply nodded her head. After a while, her phone rang. One of her colleagues was calling her. Alveena excused herself to Andrew, answering the phone call.

Her colleague just checked on her since Brandon was asking her whereabouts. She learned that Brandon dropped by her room but he didn't see Alveena so he asked her colleague if she had another plan today.

After the phone call, Alveena decided to return to her room. She said goodbye to Andrew. He had no choice but to let Alveena go.

Alveena already left his room when Andrew noticed that she forgot to bring her purse. It was still in his bedroom. He picked it up, planning to follow Alveena in her room.

"She said her room number is 317. I should check if she got her correct room number now," Andrew mumbled to himself.

He was worried that Alveena would get lost again and enter the wrong room. The hotel staff already apologized to Alveena for giving her the wrong key.

Andrew called the receptionist to get Alveena's correct room key and they had it delivered to his room while they were eating a while ago.

Andrew rushed out of his room to follow Alveena and to catch up with her. Then he found her standing in front of her room while talking to someone.

Andrew's face darkened the moment he recognized the person. It was the same guy whom he met abroad. The guy who claimed himself as Alveena's fiancee and future husband~ Brandon Cullens.

The two didn't notice his presence yet. Andrew's mood became gloomy after overhearing their conversation.

"Hey, my wife, are you free today?" Brandon asked her cheerfully.

"I have a team meeting," Alveena lied to him.

Brandon just burst out laughing. He knew that Alveena was lying. Her colleagues were already enjoying their time at the beach.

"What team meeting? Your colleagues are already roaming around the beach. Come with me. Let's watch the sunset together. It will be more romantic to watch the sunset together with my wife."

Brandon didn't wait for her to reject his invitation. He just grabbed her hand and gently pulled her going to the elevator.

"Hey, Brandon, where are we going?"

"At the beach! Let's spend our free time together and have fun!"
