The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

[ At Heavenly Star Enterprise… ]

While his twin sister was busy and preoccupied with her training, Christian was doing paperwork in the office. Today was also the day Myrene would report for duty as Christian's secretary.

Myrene easily got along well with the other staff and employees. Unlike Christian who is aloof and indifferent, Myrene is very approachable and friendly. She knew how to deal with everyone. She has a bubbly attitude as well.

Christian could see Cassie in her. They have so many similarities when it comes to attitude and personality. 

'Sigh! Can't grandpa choose a male secretary? I feel a little bit uncomfortable around Myrene. And I don't know why.'

Christian sighed deeply, glancing at Blue who was also observing Myrene. The newly hired secretary was currently talking to Zu Wan for her briefing and orientation.

Since Christian was also new in the company, he requested his grandfather to be the one to orient his secretary about her roles and responsibilities.

Myrene was very attentive to Zu Wan. She was listening to him and at the same time, taking down notes. She looked like she was enjoying her job and she was excited today.

Christian continued to assess her. He couldn't explain why but he had a nagging feeling towards her. He couldn't name it. But he felt uneasy as if something was going to happen. His gut feelings never betrayed him.

"Blue… can you also feel it? Her strange aura…?" Christian murmured, patting Blue's head.

Blue just bobbed his head, his eyes following Myrene's every movement inside that room. The first time they met, Blue roared at her. Fortunately, Christian was there to intervene. If not, Blue would have attacked her already.

Well, it was Myrene's fault. She just entered the room and she accidentally stepped on Blue's tail. So Blue didn't like her.

After a few minutes, Myrene's orientation was done. Zu Wan informed her that her table would be placed outside Christian's office as per requested by him. He wanted to be alone inside. Of course, Blue was the only exception.

Zu Wan and Myrene agreed to this set-up. Besides, Christian was her Boss. She had to follow him. However, she just felt disappointed because she could feel that Christian was already building a wall or a barrier between them. Was he always like this? Myrene was wondering about that.

After talking to Zu Wan, Myrene tried to approach Christian who was silently checking the pile of documents on top of his table. A while ago, he was observing her, and now, he was pretending that he was reading the documents. 

His eyes followed the movement of his finger, tracing the figures methodically down the page. But he could feel that Myrene was already looking in his direction.

"Sir, do you want coffee?" she asked him politely.

"No, I'm good," Christian promptly responded, not even glancing at her.

"Is there something I can help you with, sir?" she asked him again with her cheerful tone. She didn't want the atmosphere to become awkward between them so as much as possible, Myrene wanted to act lively in front of him.

"None. You may go," Christian plainly said, sending her away. It was his cue, signifying he wanted to be alone and he didn't need her anymore.

Myrene remained still, just looking at him with an indescribable expression. Since his eyes were fixed on the documents, Christian couldn't see Myrene's face and her reaction.

However, her silence bothered him so Christian was not able to restrain himself from looking up to see her face. He was stunned the moment he met her emerald eyes matched with her charming smile.

Christian was not able to utter some words. He blinked several times, wondering why Myrene was smiling at him. 'Did I say something funny? Why is she smiling?'

"Is there something funny, Miss Keller? Why are you giving me that kind of silly look?" Christian asked her sternly, squinting his eyes at her.

Myrene immediately pouted her lips to hide her smile. She even patted her cheeks to wake her up from her daze. "Oh, I'm sorry about that, Sir. I just can't help it. You are too charming to ignore." Myrene blurted out.

"Cough! Cough!" Christian choked on his saliva as he didn't expect to hear that very honest response from Myrene. He felt like he was the one who got embarrassed, not her.

Christian didn't know whether to get mad or not. But how could he get mad if Myrene was giving him such an innocent and charming look?

"Just get me water please," Christian suddenly requested for her to leave and give him some space. This woman's frankness just made him feel awkward and more uncomfortable.

"Yes, sir! Just give me a minute!" Myrene mumbled with her bright mood. She was about to leave when Christian spoke again.

"Not a minute! Please make it ten or twenty minutes!"

"Huh?" A puzzled look could be seen on Myrene's face.

"I mean… just take your time." Christian simply said, lowering his gaze. 'Just don't come back right away,' he added in his thoughts.

Myrene just smiled awkwardly before turning around to leave. "Got it, sir!"

Christian could finally relax when Myrene left his office. He leaned on his chair, taking a deep breath. He was now regretting allowing his great-grandpa to hire his secretary. If he were to choose, he would have chosen a male secretary.

Myrene was too energetic and too loud for him. He felt like this woman would bring chaos in his silent and peaceful world.

"Blue… what should I do now? Do you think I should talk to Gramps about this? Maybe I can reassign her to another office. Not here," Christian shared his sentiments with Blue as if the tiger would also speak up, giving him a solution to his concern.

Blue just bobbed his head again, signifying that he agreed to Christian's ideas.

"Alright. Let me talk to Gramps. I will try to negotiate with him to change his mind." Christian finally made up his mind. Blue wagged his tail, indicating that he was happy with Christian's decision.

'Yes, Master! Kick that woman out. How dare she step on my beautiful tail. Hmmp!'
