CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 97. Worry in life
"You are back."Aster and Lia served Marvin. One took his bag and the other took him to the chair."You are too attentive today.""Yes, yes, Marvin, brother, you work so hard daily. You should also take some rest. How about a nice glass of refreshing cool juice?"Lia brought him apple juice."This is nice."Lia and Aster looked at each other and decided their next course of action."How about I start the messaging function on this chair?"Well, enough was enough. But massaging, he could use it later."Tell me, what are you doing waiting for me?"Lia looked at Aster asking him to start talking.She didn't want to seem desperate even though she totally was.Aster nodded."Lia wants to know about the stuff that happened when we were back there.""What stuff and back where?"Marvin also played along."The people who were responsible for following me?""That is quite complicated, you see. The person who ordered the mission is from a mafia family. And we can't contact him at the present. Bu

"I have news. Actually, Aster you have news."Aster was called by Marvin to discuss this particular news."What is it?"Aster thought that it should be about the matter concerning Lia. But he was indeed baffled by how Marvin didn't call her. Because Marvin knew that she was very much interested in knowing all the ins and outs of the matter. "You will be surprised. And it concerns you at the present. Lia will know about this later. In a few hours. And it depends on you. So are you ready?"Aster hoped that it was a piece of good news. Because good news was always better than bad news."I just wanted to tell you that the leader of outliers wants to speak with you. He is very interested in you because you were the only one who dared to show him face. Maybe as he is the leader now, no one refutes him like that. Personally, I think, that people should have someone refuting them from time to time. Otherwise, it's easy to fly off in the sky and overestimate your capabilities."Wait? So he h

"What deal did you make with him?"Marvin finally asked Aster. He had to know this because if things went south, he would have to put out the fire. And to put off a fire, you should know where the extinguisher is."I decided to help them. They need a financial partner. Like they don't have latest technology products. I accepted the offer. I provide them the products at a low price and they will take me in as a guest leader.""Is this some sort of exchange student type of thing? I'm getting strong vibes like that.""Yes, also I will teach them tech stuff and they will maybe teach us their kind of stuff."Marvin was speechless. Who would have thought that that group was in some desperate need of this?In a way, that also made sense.They had no backers but they managed to stay in the game and their income should bot be that high. So it should be cool that they have some people working for them but other people wouldn't be willing.Now take his secretary for example. She would never work
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 100. Talk the truth
"You did what?"Aster was really right. Lia didn't like that he was trying to solve things for her behind her back. She would never want anyone to sacrifice themselves for others. It was unfair."You should have told me. Why would you agree to something like that? What if he wants you to do bad things?"Aster was calm now."He said he wouldn't ask me to do illegal things."Lia rolled her eyes."He said and you believed. You are the most stupid person I have ever met. Do you believe the words of a kidnapper? He is kidnapping you.""No, he is a good guy."Lia was so angry that she wanted to beat him up."How can you trust so easily? They are lying."Lia didn't believe a word of what he said. How can someone who has an ulterior motive tell the truth?"No, he is not a bad guy.""If not, why would you be asked to help them? Aren't, there so many people?"Aster was also curious about that."He said it was because I told him off."Lia didn't believe again."You call him. I will also disresp
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 101. Game plan
They were all gathered to discuss the deal between Aster and the leader of the outliers. Because the outliers were a group that was feared by everyone in the rich families, they had to tread lightly otherwise they faced the end of blowing themselves up. “Okay, let's talk. You raise your hand, state your point, and see if anyone has issues with your point. Is it clear to everyone? Okay, then let's start.” Marvin was presiding over their little meeting. There were few people present because the others had no idea of this topic. Lia, Aster, and Oggy sat before Marvin. “I want to say that this whole idea is ridiculous. I mean, what if the leader had ulterior motives? he would not tell to us. But he would try to make himself look pitiful so that our hearts would be filled with compassion and we would agree to help him.” Lia stopped herself to look at Aster. She had to see his reaction and then continue. And no one raised any objections to her statement. “You are right.” O

"So now we have to talk about the gaming company with them. How about we first start coding classes? it will take them atleast one year to learn everything. That too if they study well. What if they don't?"Lia was not so sure that this will be okay. She was basically learning coding all the time so it wasnt hard for her. But these guys were not like her. They wouldnt know some basic math. That would seriously trouble them."Dont worry. We will use the editor for this. And slowly teach them while we do everything. If it took more time, they will be penniless."Lia scoffed at that."You basically mean I have to do everything?""Yes?"Marvin was chuckling."Wow, thank you. I would love that. You can pay me too."Lia had a strange brain circuit because she was really happy to work more. That way no one would disturb her and she was very free to do her own thing. Who wouldn't like that?She definitely would."Also, I want to teach them too. I have to see who is more responsive. And I can
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 103. Planning days
The plan was almost nearing its end process. They had discussed all the details and they finalized everything. Having two CEOs certainly helped.And working with Lia was also a bonus. She never wasted time and had her work done perfectly. Looking at it this way, they all outperformed themselves.Group projects were never this fun, Lia felt."Okay, now we have to wait and watch what the Outliers say. I think they would really accept this plan. it has no defects and it will not harm anyone's interest. A job well done."They all cheered and then went to eat lunch. Yeah, their morning meeting took them four hours. It was very tiring but they were all fulfilled.Oggy was happily serving them food."Eat, we have to think that we are awesome and then we will try hard to become awesome. And someday, we will really become awesome. How is my theory?"Lia wanted to say it made sense but she stopped herself."Brother, you have to stop thinking more and start working more. You sang all your old so
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 104. Waiting time
This time, Aster was ready for the plane ride. He slept the whole time because he knew that they were going to work there. And they won't have time to waste here and there.Marvin also didn't check his work and took a rest.For what it was worth, they were well-rested.Lia had sent them to the airport with Iggy. She was worried and she had asked them many times to remember that they weren't going to listen to all the arrangements made by the Outliers and that it was okay to say no to them.Aster nodded to everything which made Oggy snicker.Lia had been dropped by Oggy back home and now she was thinking about how the outcome could result in her opinion. She had to think of all these ways and then think bow to counteract them. She was really busy thinking and overthinking.Now she rarely overthinks but special circumstances call for special actions. So Lia again started searching for some activities so she could turn off her mind that was overthinking.The propel had just boarded the f

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
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 139. Yes
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
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 138. Confess
"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
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 135. About to find
"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
