"Yes," Julian nodded awkwardly.
The man realized that his statement was indeed odd. He hadn't said that he had reconciled with his father thanks to Katniss.
“But you don't have to worry, Mia. I can handle it. Later, when all the problems have been resolved, I will tell you everything.”
Hearing the explanation that seemed gray, the secretary's brows furrowed deeper. She knew that the man was hiding something from her.
"Is everything okay?" she asked in a hanging tone.
Keeping his extremely stiff lips to curled up, Julian nodded. "Of course," he said through a pinched vocal cord.
Not knowing what else to say, the man patted his lover's arm. "Let's go to the elevator. I don't want to keep Dad waiting," he said while pressing the awkwardness.
With a straight face, Mia followed the CEO's footsteps. Her hand that gripped the strap of the bag, was sweating coldly, holding back the

While the camera was on the baby, Gabriella could freely observe Mia. The girl sitting beside her was clearly gritting the teeth. Her hands trembled in annoyance, while her breath was heavy because of the disappointment. The secretary's heart had never been so hot and sore.“Hi, Little Prince! Do you like your new toy?” Katniss repeated the question.With a heavy heart, Gabriella answered while imitating a child's voice. "Yes, I really like it, Auntie. Thank you very much.""Wow, thank goodness!" the model sighed while bringing her hands under her chin."What did you give to Little Prince?" Julian asked, sounding relaxed.“Educational toys. I think about your nephew's future better than you do,” Katniss said in a familiar voice, putting salt on the secretary's inner wound.Seeing that Mia had been hiding in the shadows of her head, Gabriella couldn't bear to continue. While faking a smile, she lifted the phone so that

"Why don't you go over to them, Miss? Wouldn't it be that if you were there, the suspicions could be straightened out?" the driver asked, clarifying the question.After ending the contemplation, Mia suddenly let out a bland laugh. "It's a waste, Sir. My presence will not change anything," she said, shaking her head faintly."Why?" the driver replied in an uphill tone.“Because it's impossible for me to beat that girl. She's too perfect. I am nothing compared to her," the girl explained before looking down in regret.“Are you and that woman competing?”Receiving such a question, Mia again maintained silence. Blinking, she pondered the driver's words.“You said you couldn't beat that woman. Doesn't it mean you're competing? Or … have I misunderstood?” the old man asked again.Silently, Mia counted her heartbeat. As soon as she came to her senses, she let out a faint sigh. "Why do I feel like I'm comp

Once again, Mia studied the blue flower in her palm. While wiping the tears that warmed her cheeks, the girl took a deep breath.“I shouldn't be discouraged. Many people love and support me,” the secretary muttered before shifting her gaze to the photo album on her lap.Without wasting any time, Mia put the letter and resin on the table. After that, with a faint smile, she slowly opened the album.As soon as the girl saw a photo of herself in a wedding dress, a small laugh broke the silence.“Mom will be surprised to see this,” Mia muttered as she scanned the pictures of her and Julian in front of Jack.The faces captured in the picture looked very stiff. People who did not know the truth, would surely think they were indeed a couple who were nervous about the sacred promise.“Jeez, why is Julian like this? He's so ugly,” Mia mumbled, saying something that went against her heart.After turning the p

"Is my appearance too flashy?" Mia murmured as she had been sitting behind the desk. With a bent neck, she looked at the clothes on her body. “Other employees keep looking at me.”After exhaling quickly, the secretary turned on the screen in front of her. While waiting for the computer to be ready, she reflected again. “What response will Julian show when he sees me later? Hopefully, he will like my new look.”After nodding briefly, Mia pushed the chair against the table. Just as her hand was about to reach for the mouse, a baby's voice suddenly caught her attention.“Cacacaca!”The secretary's eyes automatically widened. “Am I hallucinating? Why do I hear Cayden's voice?"As the girl blinked, Gabriella stepped in and gave a warm smile. “Look at your auntie's new style, Little Prince! Isn't she very charming?""Ya ... ya ...!" Cayden exclaimed before laughing and leaning on his mother.G

For the first time, Julian broke out in cold sweat from Mia's anger. The man realized that his words had cut the girl's heart. After swallowing hard, he ventured to touch the shoulders that rose and fell to compensate for the great pressure in the lungs.“Mia, please don't misunderstand,” he said in a soft voice."I understand. I really don't deserve to wear clothes like this," the secretary replied without turning around. “Please go to your room, Sir. Your job awaits."Instead of stepping back, Julian grabbed the girl's wrist instead. "We have to talk."With furrowed brows, Mia jerked her hand away. "There's nothing to talk about, Sir. Everything is clear. Girls like me don't deserve to wear expensive clothes."Not wanting to lose control again, Julian grabbed the girl's arm. "Come with me now or the whole company will find out about our relationship.""Are you afraid that people will find out that Julian Evans is in a rel

"You're not mad at me anymore, are you?" Julian asked, tilting his head. Quick as lightning, Mia waved and shook her head. "Of course not," the girl denied awkwardly. "Why should I be angry? It's just lunch together. Moreover, Mister Herbert is coming with you,” she continued before forcing a smile. A second later, the man stroked his lover's hair. "Thank you, Mia. You are indeed the kindest and most understanding woman.” Receiving such praise, the girl's guilt deepened. Not wanting the burden to increase, she immediately tapped his watch. "We've been stalling for too much time, Sir. Let's get to work!” "Wait a minute, Mia," Julian said, holding the girl's arm. "There's one more thing I need to ask." "Can't you wait for a break?" Mia asked with raised eyebrows. Folding his lips, the CEO shook his head. “Dad will definitely come early and use up all the break time.” After a brief deliberation, the secretary finally sighed. "Okay

Mia glanced at the clock on the wall, then turned to the door. Break time had ended five minutes ago, but Herbert and Katniss had not yet left the room.“What are they discussing? Is it so much fun that Julian forgets about today's meeting?" the secretary grumbled before looking down languidly. She felt helpless when being faced with indecision regarding feelings.While supporting her chin with one hand, Mia tapped her finger on the side of the tablet. Her brows furrowed, expressing how difficult the judgment she was going through was in her mind. After a few blinks, the girl finally got up from the chair and took the tablet. Just as Mia was about to take a step, the door she was aiming for, suddenly opened."Where are you going?" Julian asked, hurrying over."I am just about to remind you of the meeting, Sir," Mia answered with an even face. Her heart couldn't decide which expression was the right one to display.A second later, the CEO rubb

The working hour had ended, but Julian was still not back. The feelings that Mia was trying to deny, could no longer be avoided. The longer she waited, the deeper the girl's head bowed."Why hasn't Julian sent me a message? Is it possible, he has forgotten about me and gone straight home?” Mia thought as she gripped the phone tighter. The girl really wished the black screen would light up and bring out Julian's name.Unfortunately, a minute passed, the girl's wait was still in vain. The air around her felt heavier and tighter."Should I call him?"After a moment of contemplation, the secretary finally took a deep breath. While straightening her face, she waited for someone's voice to emerge from the speakerphone that was stuck to her ear."What's wrong, Mia?" Julian asked as soon as he answered the call.With a stiff expression, the girl asked back, “Where are you, Sir? Why haven't you come back yet?""Good grief! Sorry, M

"Whoa!" Cayden sighed as his father placed him on the back of a pony. With round eyes, he surveyed his height from the ground. Even though it was not much, the toddler in the cowboy hat still showed a happy smile. “How is it, Little Evans? Are you happy?” the woman who held the horse's rein asked. Not daring to move much, Cayden nodded at a limited angle. "Yes, Greta. I am happy. It's thrilling!” he answered enthusiastically. “Thrilling?” Gabriella muttered, furrowing an eyebrow. While continuing to rock her niece, the woman expressed astonishment. “Where did you learn that word, Little Prince?” "Daddy often mentions it," the toddler replied, successfully making his father wince. "Daddy said that the nights spent with Mom were always thrilling." As Gabriella glared at her husband, Greta burst out laughing. "Gosh, Max. I think you should be more careful now. Your genius son can absorb all the words you speak.” "Right. I'll be more caref

"If you kept avoiding me, I would really quit the company," Julian said, successfully freezing Mr. Hunt's steps. The old man was then blinking, digesting the words he thought he heard wrong. “Actually, my position as a CEO is being threatened for some reasons. I tried to keep it a secret from all of you. I didn't even let Mia know. But as it turned out, it wasn't easy at all. My mind became adrift. And because the burden was too heavy, my emotions finally exploded. I'm so sorry it had to happen in front of you." Hearing the tone that seemed honest, Mr. Hunt slowly turned his focus. Two seconds later, he saw the tears slide from the grandson's eyes. "I've tried to be strong and tough, Grandpa. I thought I could solve all problems. But it turns out, I haven’t found any solution yet. That's why I was angry when I failed to find Grace and you at the cemetery. It got me think that I am a useless man," Julian explained with the gloomy eyes landed on the grass.

“Tsk, why does Grandpa run away like this? It just makes me feel even guiltier,” Julian grumbled between gasping breaths. Holding on to Mr. Hunt's message, he walked down the tree-lined path. “What should I do if Grandpa isn't there? Where should I look for him?” the man thought as he couldn't erase the wrinkles from his face. The burden in his heart was too heavy to ignore. After a few moments of struggling with the noise in his brain, Julian finally shook his head and blinked strongly. "No, no. Grandpa must be there. I'll take him home and things will automatically return to the way they were before," the man nodded, fostering hope. Ignoring the anxiety that kept swirling in his mind, he went faster. Unfortunately, as soon as Julian passed the cemetery gates, his steps were frozen. His jaw was dropping while his eyelids were lifted to the maximum. What he had hoped for quickly turned into disappointment. "No way! This is impossible!” he curs

"Dad," Cayden called quietly. A second later, the toddler handed Max a piece of bread that had been cleaned of jam. "I'm already full," he continued with a meaningful smile.Understanding the son's intentions, Max spontaneously raised an eyebrow. "Do you want me to finish your bread again?"While showing two rows of tiny teeth, Cayden nodded. After a faint exhalation, the father began to vibrate the air with laughter."Gaby, look at what Little Prince did! I can get fat if he keeps handing me food,” the man said while showing the second bread he received from his son.“Just eat it, Max. You need more energy to help the Little Prince take care of Hasty,” the woman who was cleaning the dishes with a sponge replied.Hearing his mother's response, Cayden's eyes immediately widened. His energy had just risen to the peak. “I've finished breakfast, Mom. Can I go to the stable now?”"Yes, but you have to wash your face

Suddenly, Julian dropped his face into his hands. After exhaling heavily, he lifted his head again and put on an indescribable expression."I didn't mean to scare anyone, Mia. I just don't want Grandpa’s mistake to happen again," the man said with frown on his face."Yes, I know," Mia replied with the same thin voice. “But you can do it without hurting Grandpa's feelings, Julian. This matter can be discussed amicably.”While gritting his teeth, Julian shook his head. Confusion had returned to cover his eyes. “What should I do now? I already made Grandpa sad.""Apologize?" Mia answered with a grimace."Is that enough?" the man asked doubtfully. He began to realize that his anger had indeed crossed the line.Pondering, the woman nodded. “As long as it's sincere, Grandpa will definitely forgive you. And I think, you should also explain to Cayden that what you did was wrong. Don't let your nephew imitate something t

“Greta, have you prepared delicious toast for us?” Cayden asked as the hostess opened the door wider to welcome him. Seeing her father was still able to walk, the woman with high arch of the brows spontaneously sighed in relief. After shaking her head for a moment, she turned her gaze to the toddler who was still holding Mr. Hunt's hand and waiting for her response. "Of course I have. There is also strawberry jam for you. Are you hungry?” Greta asked while faking a smile. “Not me, but Grandpa. I heard the sound of his breathing all the way. Grandpa is very tired! He should eat a lot of bread," Cayden said with his trademark expression—round eyes and pursed lips. While stroking her son's head, Gabriella bent her knees. After leveling their eyes, the woman tilted her head. "You know where Greta put the plate of bread, don't you?" No more than two seconds, the toddler nodded. "Yes. On the dining table," he answered with a big smile. "That

"Sorry, Julian. I took Grace to see your grandmother for a while. Now, I intend to take her home. We're not wandering around or straying like you said," Mister Hunt explained with an indescribable expression. Even so, his hoarse voice was able to touch the hearts of the listeners, apart from his grandson. "But the way home is over there, Grandpa!" Julian snapped, still with eyebrows raised to the max. The young man didn't feel sorry at all for the hunched back that was getting weighed down by guilt. "I really can’t understand what’s on your mind. Don't you realize that your recklessness can lead to trouble? Didn't we agree to go together? Why did you secretly take Grace away?” he continued, thickening the wrinkles on his grandfather's forehead. Sensing her father's anger, Little Princess began to furrow her brows. The baby had never heard such a loud voice. When her eyes fell on Mr. Hunt's gloomy face, she spontaneously pouted. A second later, her heavy cry b
CEO's Love in Trap Extra Chapter| 13. A Father's Despair
Arriving at the cemetery, Julian was taken aback. What he saw was completely beyond expectation. There were no old man and baby among the tombstones. The grandfather and Grace left absolutely no trace. "This is impossible," Julian muttered as he quickened his pace. Neglecting his initial attempt to remain calm, the man sped toward the direction Greta had given. After searching for a while, he finally found the grandmother's name on one of the stones. “Right, this is the place. They should be here," Julian sighed, sounding desperate. With deep furrows, he circled around, trying to find any trace of either his daughter or Grandpa Hunt. Unfortunately, as far as the eye could see, the two remained off the radar. Confusion instantly grew bigger in Julian’s mind. "Tsk, how could it be like this?" he grumbled while clutching his head. Knowing that irritation, Mia gently touched her husband's arm. She knew that the man had failed to control hi
CEO's Love in Trap Extra Chapter| 12. Grandpa and Grace
Carefully, Mr. Hunt wiped his great-granddaughter's cheek. Grace's red eyes no longer shed sadness. However, the old man still felt guilty for making the baby cry. "I'm sorry, Grace. I should have walked more calmly so you wouldn't wake up," he whispered in between his ragged breaths. After her face had been dry, Grace rested her head on Mister Hunt's shoulder. Blinking slowly, she pursed her lips. The furrow of her tiny brows indicated that she still wanted to roll up in the blanket on the crib. The baby wondered why she was with her great-grandfather, sitting on a long bench at the edge of a path. “When I was young, I only need fifteen minutes to arrive at your great-grandmother's grave. But now, why does it feel so long and tiring?” Mr. Hunt grumbled as he wiped his forehead with one hand. After one quick breath, the old man stood up again and held Grace in his languid arms. Although the baby was a bit heavy, his lips still curled up warmly.
