S2| 41. Without Permission
Mia staggered towards her apartment door. There was a feeling of reluctance to go in there. The girl was afraid that the man who had never left her mind, suddenly greeted her with arms outstretched. Mia was worried that she would not be able to resist the hug.
“Tsk, why am I such a coward?” the girl muttered in a thin, trembling voice.
A second later, Mia looked down at the phone in her hand. Two incoming messages were waiting to be read. With difficulty, she swallowed the bitter spit. Her thumb trembled between the names side by side on the screen.
"Should I ignore Mister Julian's message?" the secretary thought, taking a deep breath. After exhaling quickly, the girl's finger landed on Katniss' name.
“Thank you very much, Miss Sanders. I will not waste this golden opportunity. Please pray for me to melt Julian Evans' heart in three meetings."
Mia's eyes returned hot to catch the letters that looked blurry. How could she sincerely pray for the

After her daughter's crying subsided, Minnie finally looked up. While wiping the puffy cheeks in front of her, the old woman sighed, “Why didn't you say long ago that you liked Mr. Julian? If Mom and Dad found out, we wouldn't try our best to stop it." With a bitter smile, Mia squeezed her mother's hand and kissed it. "It's not your fault, Mom, but my stupidity. I should be aware and stick to my parents' advice." "You must be in a lot of pain every time we remind you of that," Minnie mumbled with tears in her eyes again. After taking a very heavy breath, the girl shrugged her shoulders briefly. "I know it's for my own good. Because of that, I'm very sorry for putting logic aside.” "No, Mia. That is Mom's and Dad's ego. We are afraid that our family's peace will be disturbed. We forgot that your happiness is much more important than that,” Minnie sighed in an arid voice. “All this time, we always give you orders and prohibitions without considering you

"What are you doing here, Sir?" Mia asked while blocking Julian from entering the kitchen. "Why don't you reply to my message? Don't you know how much I worry?" the man replied while rolling his eyes. “Ah, that,” the girl sighed before gulping. "I haven't had time to read it yet." Detecting the doubts peeking through the gaps in the words, the CEO's eyes narrowed. “What did you do to not have five seconds to open my message?” "I was playing with Cayden. When I got home, I immediately cooked spaghetti,” the girl answered with a flat expression. "Is that true?" Julian inquired, tilting his head. A second later, he broke through, following the scent that called his nose. Witnessing the unexpected movement, the girl was wide-eyed. Quick as lightning, she grabbed Julian's arm so the man turned to face her. “Stop acting like this is your home, Sir,” Mia called out, blurting out whatever was on her mind. She really couldn't imagine wh

With eyes glued to Julian, Mia tiptoed into the bathroom. The man lying on the bed was still closed. Even though the girl turned the door lever and made a “click” sound, he didn't move at all. "Does he wake up?" the young servant thought while clutching two small bottles in her hands. One contained egg whites and the other was empty. After a few moments, the girl could breathe a sigh of relief. Julian hugged the pillow even tighter. “I have to hurry,” Mia thought as she entered and closed the door very slowly. Once she arrived at the destination, the girl immediately took action. She put the bottles on the sink and opened Julian's face wash container. Without wasting time, she poured the gel into the empty bottle provided. "Fortunately, there is little left," Mia muttered while securing the bottle that was already filled. Then, the girl took the egg whites and put it in the face wash container. “My apologies, Mister Julian. It's your brother's
CEO's Love in Trap S2| 45. Up to Something
"So, is Mr. Julian really your first love?" Minnie concluded with an incredulous sigh. She never knew that her daughter had such a story. "Can I not make him my first love?" Mia asked with a flat expression. "Not that you can't. It's just ... so ridiculous, Mia. You fell in love just because of egg whites." Listening to her mother, Mia sighed in resignation. "I can't control my heart, Mom." "And even now, you're still on your knees with that guy, hm?" the old woman inquired while lightening the corners of her lips. Seeing the answer of the daughter through a briefly raised shoulder, Minnie's smile suddenly turned sad. She understood that sometimes, feelings were hard to tame. "I don't know if this request is cruel or not, but ... I hope Mr. Julian's meeting with that woman does not go smoothly," she said in a low voice. "I want my daughter to be happy." "Honestly, I want to reject such evil thoughts, Mom," Mia sighed softly. “I
CEO's Love in Trap S2| 46. As a Man
As soon as she opened the apartment door, Mia's eyebrows rose to the max. She didn't expect the CEO to greet her warmly. "Good evening, Miss Sanders. That dress looks perfect on you,” Julian said, raising the corners of his lips. Instead of being flattered, the girl sighed in disbelief. "Why are you here, Sir? Aren't you supposed to go get Miss Johnson?" "What for? She said she could come to the restaurant herself,” Julian replied innocently. "Did she say it when you offered to pick her up?" Mia inquired with a faint shake of the head. "No. I said that it would be more effective if we just met there. She agreed and declared her independence. Miss Johnson doesn't mind, Mia." Hearing that seemingly nonchalant answer, the secretary automatically lowered her head and tried to remove the heavy air from the lungs. But apparently, one long puff was still not enough to free the chest from tightness. "That's really rude, Sir. Where is y

“Do you mind this matchmaking, Sir?” Katniss asked with slightly narrowed eyes. Hearing the girl's offended tone, Mia instantly waved and shook her head. "Of course not." However, at almost the same time, Julian gave the opposite answer. "Yes. From the start, I never agreed to this matchmaking.” An spontaneous sigh escaped from the gap of the cracked smile. "May I know the reason?" Katniss asked, raising an eyebrow. Suddenly, stiffness ran through the secretary's nerves. The shoulders that had previously lost their enthusiasm, were already erect with the support of worry. In between the beating of the heart that resembled a drum, she slipped hope. "Dear God, please don't let Julian reveal our relationship. Don't let Mr. Herbert get angry as their relationship could break. I don't want Julian to suffer for maintaining our love." However, instead of answering, Julian glanced at Mia and gave a mysterious smile. He seemed to be able to hea

“Are you guys really this close? This is the first time I've seen such a close interaction between the CEO and the secretary." Katniss's words echoed in Mia's mind. The secretary really didn't think the model could guess that accurately. However, with too much worry, her brain had trouble processing ideas. Before she could speak, Julian had already made the problem worse. "Don't you know? I have known Mia since she was born. We even lived in the same house for a dozen years.” With fading warmth, Katniss turned her gaze to the secretary. "Why didn't you tell me about it, Miss Sanders? I have no idea that your relationship turns out to be this intimate.” “P-please don't misunderstand. Mister Julian and I are like siblings," Mia explained, trying to kill the seeds of "misunderstanding". "But I think we are more than that," the man chimed in, successfully adding to the chill in the air that enveloped them. “You are not only a sibli

“Is this the story that touched your heart?” Julian whispered to the girl beside him after Katniss went to the toilet. Without turning around, Mia nodded. "Then you must have been lying," Julian muttered before taking a deep breath and straightening his back. "The story of Katniss Johnson's struggles in life doesn't touch my heart at all." “But, isn't she great? She manages to be successful even though her family's mediocre,” the girl objected, finally glancing at the man with a languid look. "Then what's the difference with you? Haven't you been successful too? You manage to become a secretary of the largest company in the country, Mia,” Julian reminded. However, instead of lifting her chin, the girl hid her face deeper. “But, I always feel that I didn't get it from my hard work. I'm just lucky that Mr. Herbert's willing to send me to school and give me the trust." "Do you think my father would do that to everyone?" the CEO asked with
