Secretly taking a photo of him
It had been a while since Jasper’s message came in, the madam should be arriving at the corporation any time soon.
About thirty minutes after driving out of the mansion, Jasper drove into the underground parking lot of Beats Corporation just as Lucas had instructed him. He was well known by the security to be one of the CEO’s men, so he was allowed in without any trouble.
The underground parking lot was meant only for the CEO, and since the marriage between the madam and the big boss was being kept a secret, Lucas felt it was best to leave it that way.
He was already waiting for them there when Jasper drove in and parked the car neatly, next to the black Maybach the CEO rode in in the morning.
Swiftly, he opened the door to the backseat for their madam. One look at her wrapped arm and memories from the previous day came flooding through Lucas’ head.
‘Don’t worry madam, I’m already getting justice for you.’
“Thank you.” Mia who had absolutely no idea what was going on in the handsome PA’s head smiled sweetly as she thanked him for his kind gesture.
Her face turned sour a second later, “I’m so sorry for not imforming you beforehand that we were coming.”
She’d acted irrationally and she hated herself for it.
What the hell was she thinking, really?
What if the demi-god…? Her mind trailed off.
“No, it’s no problem madam.”
The madam shouldn’t have to seek permission before coming to see her husband. But, this was a different case entirely… Lucas forced out a smile, secretly breaking into cold sweats.
When he read Jasper’s message, earlier, he’d failed to inform his boss about the update.
‘May today not be the day I lose lose my job and my precious life.’ He cried inwardly.
After the madam stepped down from the car, he saw that she was trying to carry some containers on the seat. A confused expression spread all over his face.
‘What’s going on here?’
‘This much food… Is there a naming ceremony being held in the corporation today?’
How could he not have been informed about it if that was the case?
Coming back to his senses, he immediately collected the lunchboxes from Mia as she was struggling with them.
“This way, madam.” He then led the way to the private door that led into the corporation.
Of course, the CEO was the only one who made use of the door, unless he had very important guests and their presence or exit needed to be secretive.
Jasper stayed behind in the car. He had no business going inside. Lucas was there with the madam.
Plus, he was afraid. Afriad that the big boss wouldn’t like the situation of his wife coming to the office. And since he was the one who drove the madam all the way to the corporation, all of the blame would most likely fall on him.
So, staying behind and avoiding the big boss was the best option for him.
Lucas and the madam rode the CEO’s personal elevator up to the last floor which was the CEO’s main office. Each of them was occupied with their own thoughts.
When the elvator dinged and the doors slid open, Mia’s heart began to thump hard against her chest.
It wasn’t until now that she thoroughly realized that she didn’t think things through before coming to this place. In fact, she wasn’t supposed to be here at all.
For the umpteenth time, she wondered what the hell she was thinking by coming over.
This was a workplace… How would he take her being here? Shit.
The man’s business was none of her business. His life, his rules. His life, his choice-his life, his decision.
Whether he ate or not was absolutely none of her concern. They’d agreed on that when they got married. What came over her?
But it was already too late to turn back because here she was, already standing in front of the door that supposedly led into his office.
Mia wished for the ground to open up and swallow her whole… She wished for the hands of time to turn back…
She looked around, not too many people were here… Should she forget about her pride and run back to the car?
Knock Knock Knock. Lucas rapped lightly on the door, throwing Mia’s plans to flee in the trash.
Before she knew it, “Come in.” A rich thick voice replied from inside the office.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Mia almost wet her pant at the sound of the voice.
It was his voice. Although they hadn’t spent a lot of time together, she wouldn’t mistake that voice for another in the world.
Taking a deep breath, Lucas secretly did the cross sign and then turned the doorknob. Silently, he led the madam inside.
When Mia stepped into her husband’s office, the scent of him filled her nostrils. His office was just like him-rich, fine, exquisite, and cold.
As she walked in further, her eyes landed on the man seated behind the modern luxurious desk. He had his face buried in the sheets lying before him, a serious expression written on his face.
Despite having his brows furrowed, he looked so fine and elegant in that blue tuxedo. A glance at his chest area made her know that he was wearing a white shirt underneath the tuxedo, and he also had a black tie on.
He looked perfect. Like a god. Blending with the office like he was meant to be there.
Mia fought to the urge to take a secret picture of him but…
CLICK. She’d already brought out her ohone and taken one.
Only after the CEO heard the shutter sound did he lift his head from the documents.
When his gaze landed on Mia, his face remained stoic and expressionless as usual. His furrowed brows were now straightened out.
The CEO’s eye trailed from the girl’s face, down to her hand.
Mia quickly hid the phone behind her.
She watched in complete silence as the man’s eyes flickered away from her like he’d not just seen her for the first time in his office, and his gaze landed on his personal assistant.
Without hesitating, Lucas shuffled across the floor and carefully placed the lunchboxes on his boss’ desk. He then took two steps backwards.
His boss shot him a questioning gaze. ‘Meaning?’
Lucas swallowed the lump that had unknowingly formed in throat and spoke up rapidly. “Madam brought the lunchboxes…” His voice trailed off.
He had absolutely no idea of what to say next. So, he turned around at once and took his leave immediately, fleeing from the scene.
But just as he was about to reach the door, “Stay.” The Big Boss’ voice made him freeze on the spot.
