Chapter 99
Andre lifted Mia’s chin and planted a kiss on her lips. The unexpected kiss caught her off guard, her mouth agape giving him the perfect opening.
He dominated her mouth like a predator.
Mia tried to push him away, but his weight pinned her down.
She shook her head, attempting to explain, but his angry stare left her speechless.
She was pissed off!
Mia couldn’t break free and had no choice but to give in
She closed her eyes and started responding to his passion.
Andre watched her, his eyes filled with desire. He released her, looking at her lips that were now flushed from his kiss. “Who are the men you’ve praised before? List their names for me.”
“Hon, what are you up to?” Mia asked in a soft voice.
Andre swallowed hard, “I want to know about the men youve praised before.”
“Andre Mia looked into his eyes, uttering his name.
Andre froze, looking at her. What did you call me?”
“Andre”
“Hmmm?”
“Andre, Andre, Andre, Andre.”
Andre didn’t respond to her repeated calling of his name, he just listened to her voice
Finally, Mia confessed. The only ever praised one man, you, Andre!”
Andre looked into her eyes, “Were you lying to me just now?”
Mia giggled and nodded, “Yes silly.”
Her eyes twinkled, mesmerizing him.
Andre kissed her again.
This time, Mia got mad, 1 told you I’ve only ever praised you, are you still jealous?”
Andre said, “I’m not.”
“Well-”
Andre reminded her again, “From now on, your secrets should only be shared with me, not other men, especially Leo!”
“Alright, I understand. Mia pouted and whispered, “You’re obviously jealous but won’t admit it, you hypocrite”
Andre heard her, but pretended not to.
He continued to rub her belly
Under his care, Mia soon fell asleep.
She habitually rolled onto her side, snuggling Into Andre’s chest.
Andre was very pleased with her reaction.
He had missed a day’s work yesterday and had to work overtime today.
He gently got out of bed, covered Mia with the blanket, and left the house
In the afternoon Mia woke up to find Andre’s side of the bed empty
She got out of bed, slipped on her slippers and headed straight to his study. She pushed open the door to find the room sparkling clean but void of the person she was looking for.
“Honey?”
No answer.
Mia went downstairs, the house staff all bowed and greeted her, “Ms. Mia, would you like something to eat?”
Mia put her hands on her hips, “Have any of you seen my husband? He’s gone by the time I woke up”
The staff replied, “Mr. Cedillo went to the office after you fell asleep. He told us not to disturb you.”
Mia massaged her neck, feeling sorry for her husband, “Why didn’t he rest first before going? He didn’t get a good rest last night”
The housekeeper could see Mia’s concern and intentionally added, “Mr. Cedillo even left without having breakfast”
“What?”
This made Mia even more worried.
She had no appetite when it was time for her mast
Bang
The sound of Mia putting down her utensils echoed in the quiet dining room.
The staff gingerly asked, “Ms Mia, have you finished?”
Mia shook her head, pointing to the food on the table. Pack all of this, this, and this, and the beef, mushroom soup into a thermos”
“Ma’am “The staff looked at each other, confused about Ms. Mia’s intentions.
The housekeeper understood, he ordered, “Pack it into a thermos”
“Yes, please”
The stall immediately carried out the order.
The housekeeper asked Mia, “Ms. Mia, do you need me to arrange a car for you?”
Mia looked at the sawy housekeeper. “I finally understand why others are mere staff and you are the housekeeper”
The housekeeper smiled
Mia said, “Thank you then, can you please arrange a car for me, you know the destination”
The housekeeper immediately went to arrange it
Five minutes later, Mia, carrying the thermos, got into the Cedillo family’s private car
Before closing the door, Mia thanked the housekeeper.
The housekeeper watched the clever young woman, genuinely fond of her.
The car arrived at the Cedillo Group Building
The same two receptionists were at the front desk.
Mia walked up and asked, “Do I need to make an appointment?”
“Ms. Mia!”
Mia nodded approvingly. “Good you have good memory”
She walked into the company with the thermos, unimpeded.
It was lunchtime and everyone was returning to the office after their meal.
The elevator lobby was packed
Mia glanced at the CEO’s private elevator and thought. I should be able to use it, right?
Then she thought. Don’t risk it. Just because you and Andre have gotten along better these past two days doesn’t mean you can use his private elevator
But then Mia thought. There are so many people now. If I wait, how long will it take?
In the end, she cautiously moved to the CEOs private elevator
She pressed the button to go up
A few seconds later, the elevator doors opened.
Mia quickly darted in and pressed the close button.
She thought to herself, it’s okay. When Andre asks how I got here, I’ll just say I came up by elevator. He won’t know I used his elevator”
However, the surveillance footage from the CEO’s private elevator was already on the man’s monitor
The man watched as the young woman appeared in the elevator, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
“Sir, what are you watching that’s putting you in such a good mood?” his assistant asked.
Andre replied, “I’m just watching Kitteria”
He waved his assistant away, leaned back in his chair, arm resting on the armrest, body slightly tilted, index finger resting under his nose, his hand seemingly covering his smiling lips.
His wife was starting to get clingy
With his other hand, he enlarged the surveillance footage from the elevator, scrutinizing every tiny expression on the young woman’s face.
In the elevator, Mia watched as the numbers kept changing, she asked herself in frustration, “How should I explain to him why I’m here? Will he think I can’t eat properly without him? What is Andre doing? Will it be abrupt if I suddenly show up without calling? What if he’s not in his office? What if he’s ina meeting? What if there are quests in his office? Ouch, it’s so annoying! Why does my simple act of delivering food have to be so damn complicated?”
