CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 111. Back home
"Even if he did not encourage her, I am angry with Aster. He should know that he is married so he cannot be close to the opposite sex. Can he not see that that lady had bad intentions about him? I am very much angry with him. If he does anything wrong the whole Winters family will be against the Brooks group."Albert spoke to Marvin in a very angry manner. Marvin was also present there. He could also see what was happening before his eyes. That's why he could clearly tell that Aster was not encouraging her. If anything else he was avoiding her like she was some kind of snake. This made him not agree with Albert's words.Aster kept running away from her and she kept chasing him. Marvin was happy to see that he kept his distance from other ladies. Lia was his cousin and he did not want to see her sad because of a guy. Even if that guy was his friend or someone he admired he never wanted to see her feeling bad. That's why he was happy to see that Albert was getting angry about his behav

"What do you mean?"Jake answered Albert."Ah, my nephews. You are taking care of them. I'm so thankful to you."They all had the same thoughts. What nephews? Which nephews? Whose nephews? Where nephews?They were confused. Marvin was shy now.He didn't know what to say but he had to say something. Otherwise, this situation will run away like a headless horse."It's me. My uncle. I mean, he- he is my uncle."Marvin finally spoke."You mean, you are the nephew he is talking about."Jake asked.Marvin nodded."Wow."Jake exploded."Wow."Lia whispered."Wow, indeed."Chris added.Asher who watched them copied them."Wow, wow, wow, wow, WOW!""Hey kid, come here."Aster called Asher to him. He picked Asher and then looked at the standstill in this situation. "Then you are uncle to me too?"Jake asked him."But you are younger than me. Only Asher is younger than you. Wow, Oggy, your uncle is here."Jake then shouted at the top of his voice.Lia rolled her eyes at his appearance."Come in

"Mom, you are back. What did you get?"Lia was sidetracked soon after seeing the items in the bag."Wow, chocolate swirl. I love it. You got mangoes too. We have so many mangoes here.""What mangoes?"Lia then remembered that she had forgotten to tell her something."Mom, Marvin's uncle came with them. It's for a business cooperation between them and Aster. So he brought mangoes and bananas for us. I kept them on the table. You can sort them. And we decided to have a feast because the deal was successful.""What? His uncle. I didn't know Marvin had another uncle."Lia seemed curious about how her mother stuff about Marvin but she looked past that as it was an emergency."That, I don't know. But he is so young."Her mom didn't pay attention. Lia thought of keeping a secret and then surprising her mom. But that would not be good, she realized."He is younger than us. Even Jake is older than him. Haha."Her mom felt surprised."That's not usual but not rare too. Even I had a very young g

"Wow, sister, you are so awesome. I never thought it would be this delicious."Lia's mother almost choked after hearing Albert's call. She was his sister in this way?But who wouldn't like to listen to such sweet words, right?"So, what else do you like? I'll make it for you."She was very happy with Albert. Such a sweet kid."I love all sweet foods. I also love spicy food. So anything you make, I will love it.""Haha, don't worry. We will make sure you love everything here."Jake answered.Albert made sure to talk to everyone."I read about your survey in the news. It seems very hard.""It's okay actually. The hard part is getting people to answer the questions."Chris was very passionate about this topic and he and Albery talked about it way too much. Because others were about to finish their food."Brother Albert, can you tell me about yourself? What do you like the most?"Albert's attention was back on Jake."I love games. I wanted to invest in a team this time. So they can win me

Lia was the last one to enter the meeting room. She was up late. And because of that, everything was late. She ate breakfast late, got ready for the meeting late, and finally arrived late.A chain reaction of waking up late. "Sorry to keep you waiting."Albert was sipping juice watching Aster set up the hologram studio. Marvin was reading the files and they weren't bothered by the fact that she was late."Are you ready?"Lia sat in her seat and nodded."First thing. We go and check the place for classes. And we also need to see the residential area. After that, we go interview the candidates."Aster spoke seriously."Any questions?""No."Marvin spoke and Lia nodded."Okay, then, let's go. What are we waiting for?"Albert got up and showed them the way.He kept sipping his juice while walking."You know, I like this place. So calm. It looks like an ancient town.""That's because we designed it like this. When we see my company, you will say that it is a concrete jungle."Aster told h
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 116. Albert bonding time
Lia had two close friends in college. They did everything together. That's why she felt it would be good if they could also work with her. But it looked like they weren't interested. That was fine. It was their choice. "Lia, what will you be doing today?"Lia glanced at Albert. He looked very confused."Why? Do you want to join me?""Yes, yes, I have nothing to do here. So if you can take me somewhere, I would be very happy."Lia smiled at him."I'm not doing anything actually. You said, it's the first time you came here. Let's go sightseeing."Lia decided it was her turn to take him to visit places.Albery smiled and he had the features of a smiling star.A twinkling shining star."Let's go."Lia took him to the bus stop.It wasn't crowded because of the lunchtime. There were no people waiting for the bus. And that made them happy passengers."This is the first skyscraper in our city. You see, it is made like a standing fish. It was a funny meme, once."Albert took his selfies. An

"You bought so much food?"Everyone was surprised."Yeah, we went to the town fair and the food there was good."""Yes, I loved it."Albert chimed in the middle."You should then go to food fair tomorrow. You will keep kicking your fingers."Lia's mom answered."No, mom. We have to keep out digestive system happy. I don't think going to eat food that heavy would be good for our body."Lia had to put a stop because she knew where their train would end up if they ate disxrimately.In hospital.That too with stomach problems."Aw."Albert answered.She couldn't allow this. Because Lia had a sensitive constitution, she had suffered many times while Jake was good with whatever he ate.Stomach cramps were painful. She didn't want to experience those again."Then how about we go layer?"He was not letting it go."But it will end in three days."He then sadly lowered his head.Lia was thinking how to solve this."Hey, don't worry. There are so many food festivals. One ends then other starts.

Lia went to see the recording of the online class. She was not going to do anything at the start. Because she was supposed to teach them how to think when they worked on a problem or a particular function in the program.Lia didn't have the necessary experience to teach so she was going to see how it was done before trying herself.She aptly watched Aster teaching everything and felt that she had to have patience if she was going to teach someone.Otherwise, it would be a disaster for everyone."Whatsup?"Albert was very free unlike them. They were all very serious and depressed. But he was sipping juice and sat there like he was watching a movie—a very investor action."You can sit here and watch with me. Popcorn?"Lia's lips twitched but she controlled herself. She couldn't laugh.If Aster knew that his teaching was considered entertainment she wondered what face he would make."How about you teach me too? I feel this is cool. Maybe I can make fractals."Lia liked this topic."Fract

The date was wonderful. When they came back, Lia couldn't stop smiling."So, I'll see you tomorrow. "Aster dawdled without wanting to leave. Lia smiled and nodded. "Yeah, you go first. I'll wait for your signal."Lia left first and opened the door to Jake's face."Have you son some lottery again?""Noo!"Lia wanted to stop her face from smiling like an idiot but it was proving to be hard."Then your experiment was successful. I knew it, let's celebrate by eating leftover ice cream from yesterday."Lia didn't pay attention to him. At this point, she didn't need to pay attention to him as he was already taking out ice cream. She slipped away to her room.Lia then opened her window and opened the balcony curtain. It was yellow, and the signal successfully alerted Aster. He smiled and sat in his room, waiting for Asher to come back.Aster wanted to talk to his brother and tell him how happy he was today.It was like he was floating. And nothing could stand in his way or hurt him today.
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 140. Date
Butterflies were dancing everywhere. Lia felt like she had eaten some and some were flapping around her.That was really hilarious to think. But the thought of dating Aster sent her over the edge. She was being foolish but she was really happy.Lia cleaned her desk three times in a row before managing to calm herself down.Aster- How about we go to the museum today?Lia sent a reply lightning-fast.Lia- YesMuseum date, haha.She would love it.Museums were interesting and she would get to see a slow motion world there.No crowds today and more time to watch the exhibits she loved.Like the historic paintings and fossils.Lia wasn't worried about other things because she found herself wondering. The impact of the dating was this. She found herself double guessing her double guessing results.Finally, she dressed herself in a very casual way.And like always, she left her apartment with a note taped to the door. In case her brother wanted her to a grocery run, he could see the note and

Lia- YesAster grinned happily and he wanted to do a cartwheel. That ended badly as he knocked over the vase on the table. But that didn't damp his enthusiasm.It was a feeling he never experienced. It was like he was living in a fluffy cloud and he was made of a fluffy cloud too.The high he was feeling made him forget so many things. For instance, the stupid contract he made then. And the threatening things in their lives. And the fact that he never told her that the Lexor family was related to her.Yeah, love has selective vision and he was the perfect example.Lia was somehow the more clear headed one in this scenario. She just started working on her game. Lia had this habit. When she was bursting with something, she would try to delay it with some other work as a tactic. And when she felt somewhat calm, she would deal with it.This only worked for ten minutes and she kept having flashes of Aster. Lia sighed and smiled."Stupid Lia!"This showed that her tactic wasn't working an

"Do you want to confront him?"Marvin asked Aster.Aster really wanted to ask that person how could he betray his family. This guy was his mother's cousin. And to do this, it was really bad. Simon had sent so many items from his mother's collection and they were more or less bad. Similar to the stuff the old man gave. Now he was really doubtful about the old man too.Was he also involved in this shady stuff? Was he the mastermind behind this operation?Aster didn't know."What's the guarantee that he will tell me everything if I ask him?"Lia nodded. Yes, he could lie. Then they would lose their edge by making the enemy know that they were onto him."Yes, you are right. I think all of the people we found are scapegoats. If it was that easy to find him, your brother or your parents would have found him. And to keep doing this stuff for such a long time, he should be somewhat proficient, right?"Lia rambled.She really thought that way. "Also, we found this organization. Maybe there are

"Yes, the animal categories are very disturbing. It makes no sense why they used that but then again, it all depends on the person who is making the categories. If it was me, I would give them artistic names. Like painting, singing, dancing, you get it, right?"Albert answered and chuckled.But who asked him anything about this? No one. He was very interested in knowing and answering questions. "Hey, you are still working on the cats' folder, Marvin is now combing through monkeys."He also provided status updates.Good guy.This was making Lia nervous and competitive. She felt like she was taking a competitive exam and she had only thirty minutes left to solve half of the question paper."Got it. Your decryption algorithm worked, let's see the results."They all surrounded Aster."Let's see the first image."It was actually a cat playing with a red dot but after the decryption, it became something else.There were words instead.59 million gain 15 million lossAJ recruited"What's thi

Lia watched Aster set up the equipment and do a final check. She stood out of the way watching everything.Albert just stayed there in the chair hanging his legs out and nearly falling asleep. He slapped himself awake and it was very funny to watch.Lia then watched Marvin coming out with cups of coffee.She took one because let's face it, she wasn't awake completely."Okay, we are ready. On your signal."Marvin nodded."It's time. Start."Aster pressed the button and the screen started changing. The text was scrolling and Lia found it difficult to read."This is going well. We don't have much to copy. It will be done in three minutes."And like he said, the status bar came to a stop."It's done."It felt less party kind of an exclamation but they were still happy. Lia thought that they would all jump in the air and celebrate. But the reality was that even with coffee, they were all very sleepy.""I'm going to sleep."Albert fell asleep there.As it was done, Lia nodded and went to her

"Mom I have to talk about the class schedule with Marvin and Aster. I'll be home late.""Okay, have fun."Lia had finished her dinner and when everyone were watching television, she got a signal from Marvin."You go. I'll watch Asher and Jake."Oggy declared. Well, if he was so sure, then why not?"So, what is that water thing?"Lia almost forgot. Oggy was also a member of the kid gang.Seeing their attention drawn to the fountain, the three of them left the room.They went to Albert's apartment because apparently Aster's was not totally safe now.They didn't get rid of all the spy chips there. They left one as a formality.And that's why they had to change their Lair."Tell me, tell me, tell me."Albert started repeating."Wait, let Lia settle down."Yes, Lia was searching for a good cushion. She was embarrassed at having that pointed out "I'm okay, you can start."She coughed."Okay, so here's what we found."Marvin then motioned for Aster to start talking."Marvin connected my cop

"Whew, we are back home. The whole thing was very stressful."Aster felt like he was in heaven when he saw his couch. He was that happy."Yeah, take rest now. We will check the computer in the evening. Let's get the information sooner so that we can work on other things later."Marvin changed out of his clothes and he was ready to go out.Aster was surprised."You aren't going to rest?"He questioned Marvin."Yes, I have to go check the company. With the headquarters not here, I have so much backlogged by being out."Aster felt sad for Marcin. Good thing Ray did his work in the meantime.Maybe when his brother woke up, he would be free and sleep till he naturally woke up.Those were some happy days.Aster sighed and fell asleep on the couch."Uncle, you are back."It should be later because he was woken up by Asher."Yes, Aster, you are back. When did you come back? We didn't know anything."Jake was with Asher."I came around afternoon. Then I fell asleep. I would have met you all in

"This is a disaster," Aster told himself when he saw the bustling crowd in there. The club was totally filled with people and it was getting on Aster's nerves.He had never seen these many people in such a closed space.He made his way to the other end to get to a secluded place.Marvin had gone to the other side so he could keep an eye on people coming and going out of the side door.Aster felt that Marvin was doing a very focused job. Marvin kept shooting him messages that kept popping before his eyes and Aster wanted to block him.Marvin was having fun with the glasses but Aster had worked on them for so long so he didn't have any preference over it."Hey, handsome, are you alone?"Aster was brought out of his reverie by a voice.It was a guy.He had short spiky hair that looked like it could really hurt someone."Oh, no. I'm in my company."That guy came near him and sat beside him."Crazy night, right?""You realize it's just afternoon now.""What? Its night. See."Aster saw no p
