“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

After swallowing hard, Mia answered the call. With a slightly bowed head, she greeted, "Good evening, Sir." "Hello, Mia. Am I bothering you?" Hearing that cold tone, the girl's neck automatically turned stiffer. "No, Sir." “I heard you went to dinner with Julian and Katniss. Is that true?" In a sudden, the atmosphere turned quiet. Mia could only hear her own breath. "That's right, Sir." "It's such a coincidence that I have an extra spy,” Herbert chimed in, inviting more tension to devour the secretary. “E-extra spy?” "Yes, you know that I often hire people to spy on anyone, don't you?" In an instant, the air around Mia grew heavy. The girl had a hard time catching her breath. Her cold hands were clenched in front of the chest, while her frozen feet were glued to the floor. “So, how is their relationship, Mia? Has Julian started to open up yet?” With trembling lips, the girl forced her vocal cords to work

“Max, don't tell me you're having fun. You can't have the heart to ignore me, can you?" the CEO asked with eyebrows raised to the highest. "Yes ..." his brother sighed, successfully inviting Julian's annoyance. "You guys are so outrageous! I'm talking about serious matters, but you guys are still playing," Julian protested, frowning. "Call us later," Max said in a shaky voice. A second later, the phone line was cut off. "Max? Gaby?" Julian called in disbelief. After realizing that his request had been ignored, the man suddenly slammed his head against the back of the seat. "How could they do this to me?" While tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, the man's brain was deep in thought. “How do I get Cayden? Should I kidnap him?” After a moment of contemplation, he exhaled fast. “I have to ask Mia for help on this one. Hopefully, she'll be willing to help." *** “Mia, have you thought about it?” Julian

With a small grimace, the secretary nodded. “Can we take Cayden to the zoo? We promise to take good care of him.” Hearing the magical word, the baby suddenly straightened up. His round eyes gleamed at his parents. "Ju ...?" "Right! Zoo. We can see a lot of animals there,” Julian explained with reassuring hand gestures. “You will be very happy if you go there.” Suddenly, Cayden raised his hands high and laughed. “Ju …!” Seeing their son's enthusiasm, Max and Gabriella looked at each other in unison. They both knew that no one had the heart to destroy the Little Prince's happiness. After one quick breath, the woman finally said, “Don't let Cayden out of your sights. Understand?" Having Gabriella's approval, a wide smile automatically brightened Julian's face. He didn't expect to be able to change his sister-in-law's decision so easily. "Take it easy! Cayden is safe with us,” the CEO said with his eyebrows raised in excitement.

Feeling uncomfortable being around Katniss alone, Julian finally walked to follow in his lover's footsteps. However, instead of being offended, the model stepped too, keeping up with the speed of the man who was quietly sighing. “I heard you're avoiding Mister Herbert. Is that true?" Katniss asked casually. Feeling interrogated, Julian glanced from under the furrow of his eyebrows. “Did my father give you order to ask?” "No. I'm just curious. If my presence is the cause, I want to apologize," the woman said while showing a sincere curve of her lips. Realizing that Katniss Johnson had known his objections, Julian stopped walking. With a narrowed gaze, he examined the honesty in the eyes in front of him. "Do you realize that I am forced to see you?" the man inquired with a tilted head. "Yes," the woman nodded, completely carefree. An incredulous sigh suddenly rose into the air. “If you already know that I disapprove of th

“Waaa …” Cayden sighed as he stood holding the wooden railing. His sparkling eyes could not be separated from the "giant" rabbit he had just met. Watching the cuteness of the baby, Mia smiled a little. "Do you like it?" the girl who never took her hand off Cayden, asked. Suddenly, the baby's tiny finger was pointed at the black rabbit in the middle of the cage. After making sure Mia saw the direction he was pointing, he opened and clenched his fists alternately. "Would you like to grab it?" Mia asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yayaya!" Cayden called for the animal to come. “Sorry, Little Prince. We can't go in there. So, let's just wait for it to come closer, hm?” While stroking the baby who continued to scream, Mia glanced at her lover who was still talking to the model. Julian looked very happy. Every now and then, the man laughed and clapped his hands, a casual gesture he usually did only in front of those closest to him. "Has Ju

"By the way, where are you taking Cayden after this?" Julian asked, breaking the silence that gripped the secretary's heart. "I don't know," Mia said without looking back. She didn't want her lover to detect her messed up feelings. Instead of questioning the secretary's strange behavior, Julian pointed his finger in a certain direction. “There is a place to feed the animals. Little Prince would definitely be delighted. What do you think?" With just a glance, Mia checked what the CEO proposed. After seeing the cage containing the goats, the girl gave a slight nod. "Good idea," she said flatly, closing the bottle Cayden had handed her. "Are you excited again?" Julian inquired as he brought his face closer to the baby who was sitting on the secretary's lap. “Jajajaja ...” Cayden chirped as Mia wiped the sweat off her neck. With sparkling eyes, the little baby surveyed the surroundings. As soon as he saw the cage previously pointed
