The ears of the maids perked up at this. They were eager to know what happened, but it seemed like the little madam had suffered memory loss."Young sir brought you back home." Madam Susan replied.Huh? The girl's eyebrows cocked upwards. Subconsciously, she glanced at her wrapped arm. Did that mean that the demi-god had something to do with it? A thin smile appeared on her face.Well, if that was the case, she was grateful. "Oh." She sincerely couldn't wait for him to come downstairs so that she'd thank him. The maids took their leave and the little madam began to eat, waiting impatiently for Shawn to come downstairs to have breakfast.But several minutes passed and the man never showed up. Even after she was done eating, he didn't appear--and hell, she took her time to eat to her full as it was the weekend and she didn't have to go to school.Huh? Why wasn't he coming? Her eyes darted across the room to the stairs landing. What could he possibly still be doing in his room? Was he b
As the two maids that assisted Mia with the containers followed closely behind her, they wondered how she’d carry them by herself after she’d left Magnificent. She didn’t possibly expect them to follow her to wherever it was that she was going, did she?Or did she have someone waiting outside the residential area already?Shrugs.Even Madam Susan couldn’t help but have that same thought running through her mind as she silently followed behind the trio. But just then, Mia stopped in her tracks and turned around. As soon as her eyes landed on Madam Susan, she smiled.“Will it be possible for me to make use of one of the cars?” She asked keenly. The old woman’s eyes twitched while the maids’ mouths dropped open. As if taking their boss’s food wasn’t enough, she was even going to take the food to meet her boyfriend in their boss’ car?!!! Preposterous!Their gazes landed on Madam Susan’s face and they began to use their eyes to plead to her. ‘Just say no, Madam Susan…’‘It’s a bad idea!!
It had been a while since Jasper’s message came in, the madam should be arriving at the corporation any time soon. About thirty minutes after driving out of the mansion, Jasper drove into the underground parking lot of Beats Corporation just as Lucas had instructed him. He was well known by the security to be one of the CEO’s men, so he was allowed in without any trouble.The underground parking lot was meant only for the CEO, and since the marriage between the madam and the big boss was being kept a secret, Lucas felt it was best to leave it that way. He was already waiting for them there when Jasper drove in and parked the car neatly, next to the black Maybach the CEO rode in in the morning. Swiftly, he opened the door to the backseat for their madam. One look at her wrapped arm and memories from the previous day came flooding through Lucas’ head. ‘Don’t worry madam, I’m already getting justice for you.’ “Thank you.” Mia who had absolutely no idea what was going on in the handso
Grimacing, Lucas bit on his lower lip.Sighhhh! Today might really be the day that he’d die. Quite unfortunate of him.Slowly, he began to turn back around, taking only three steps away from the door. That way, should things go south, it would be very easy for him to slip out of the office. Several seconds passed by and the CEO still hadn't uttered a word. Though, his gaze was fixated on the containers on his desk.Lucas gulped inaudibly while Mia stood unmoving, on the same spot, fiddling with her hands.After what seemed like a long period of time, the CEO raised his eyelashes in Mia's direction."What is the meaning of this?"The girl's heart skipped a bit after hearing the man's question. She was short of words.Even she did not know the meaning of—like, what the hell was she even doing here in the first place?"Cat got your tongue?" Shawn asked irritably.Once he asked a question, he required and demanded an answer—not silence."I-erm... Hum... Fo-for you..." Mia shifted her wei
He took brisk steps to the desk and reached his hands forward to carry the boxes. But..."Leave them here." The Big Boss' voice made his hands freeze midair.Lucas' eyes blinked dumbly. Were his ears in need of cleaning? But he had them cleaned yesterday. He glanced at his boss whose eyes didn't leave the document he was assessing.Lucas' head tilted to the side. He had to have his ears checked. He stretched out his hands further but before they could land on the lunchboxes, Shawn's head shot up and he gave him a cold hard glare.The PA retracted his hands immediately.A flood of confusion washed over him as he took two steps backwards and stood there in silence.The CEO's brows creased irritably when he saw this. What was the guy still waiting for?Lucas caught on and quickly found something to say. "Sir, you'll be attending a meeting in five minutes’ time."Well, that was true. The CEO would indeed be having a project update meeting with the top officials of the corporation.The CEO
“Madam Susan…” The lady whined.The woman shot her a cold glare and she lowered her head instantly.Clara immediately swallowed whatever it was that she had to say. “Yes, Madam Susan.” Dejectedly, she shuffled her feet out of the kitchen to go inform her colleagues of the work they had to do. How stupid of her. She immediately regretted her actions. Indeed, what was she expecting the housekeeper to do? She was just a housekeeper and the girl was the Madam of the house. Clara was speechless. She should have just kept her moyth shut. Now, she had not only put herself in trouble, she even implicated the rest. Eish. Stupid.—The moment Mia walked into her room, she shut the door behind her and didn’t step out afterward.She remained inside until late at night. After laying motionless for several hours, hating herself for doing what she did, she finally pushed her weight off the bed and went to stand by the window. Her gaze looked down and a gasp escaped from her mouth. Below the
“How do I look?” He turned to face Madam Susan.Although he lost his father way back when he was young, he only lost his mother two years ago to a motor accident. Ever since then, Madam Susan had been a mother figure to Shawn—no—she was a grandma figure to him.His grandmother passed away even before he was born. Madam Susan had been by his side from the moment before he took his first step.“Perfect, as always.” The elderly woman grinned. Shawn nodded his head. “Since you’re ready, it’s time for you to go get the Madam.” Shawn froze momentarily, his brows furrowing. Why did it have to be him?Moments from this afternoon came flooding his head and his mouth twitched a little. Did he perhaps go harsh on her?…“Okay.” —Few minutes later, the CEO stepped gallantly out of his room. He took large strides and soon came face-to-face with the door that led into the girl’s room. He frowned.Hesitating for a second, he swung the door open and walked in.Mia shrieked at once, jumping up
—Several seconds had passed and Shawn was about to take his seat when the duo heard irregular approaching footsteps coming from the living room. Shawn aleady knew who was coming. He simply took his seat.He couldn’t be bothered by that clumsy girl. “You came with someone?” It was already late and the maids had returned to their quarters. Anderson was the only one who usually remained with the old man but even he was at the dining table with them. Anderson was currently dishing out the food.So the old man could only assume that his grandson came with someone.“Hmn.” Shawn replied nasally, resting his elbow on the dining chair’s armrest. “Who is it?” Grandpa Mandez was curious.Did his grandson bring his personal assistant with him? He frowned slightly. A second later, someone came in through the door. It wasn’t a man but a little lady.A girl. A dazzling young girl with porcelain skin. It didn’t take Grandpa Mandez a second before he recognized her. His mouth flung open ajar
