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

Bianca woke up late since she was not able to sleep early last night. It was already dawn when sleep visited her. She kept tossing and turning around on her bed, thinking about Brandon's proposal.

He wanted her to pretend as his girlfriend and he was willing to pretend as her boyfriend so that Bianca's parents would stop nagging her and matchmaking with men she didn't know.

Bianca didn't give him an answer yet. Brandon allowed her to take her time and think over his proposal. The two of them would benefit from this. But still, she was hesitating to accept it.

Bianca saw the time on her alarm clock. She immediately jumped off her bed as she recalled Clifford. He told her to report at Sy Corp today by 7:00 am but it was already past nine.

"Oh my gosh! I'm doomed! I am late for my first day of duty!" Bianca smacked her forehead as she rushed into her bathroom.

"Aah!! Will I get scolded on my first day?" Bianca mumbled to herself as she had a bad feeling about this.

Bianca took a quick shower. She moved fast like she was in her military days. In just a few minutes, she was all set to go to meet her temporary new Boss.

She just wished that there would be no traffic jam on the way to Sy Corp Building. Fortunately, her prayer was answered. She arrived at Sy Corp in no time.

Bianca asked the front desk where she could find the CEO's office. After getting the instructions from the staff, she immediately took the lift going to Clifford's office.

Upon reaching his office, Bianca fixed her clothes and her hair before entering the room. Dexter greeted her, guiding her to the next room where Clifford was waiting for her.

"Hi boss! Good morning!" Bianca greeted Clifford, raising her right hand while smiling sheepishly.

Clifford was looking at his laptop when Bianca and Dexter entered his office. He raised his head and turned in her direction upon hearing her voice.

Dexter patted Bianca's back and whispered "Good Luck!" before leaving her. He knew that his Boss was not in a good mood. 

Bianca just bit her lower lip when she met Clifford's sharp gaze. He was wearing a dark expression on his handsome face. The chilly aura was emanating from him.

Bianca tried her best to smile brightly, not allowing Clifford to intimidate her. But deep inside, she was guilty of being late. So she understood why Clifford was looking upset right now.

"Why are you late? I told you to come by 7:00 am. It's almost 10:00 am now," Clifford uttered with his stern cold voice.

Bianca scratched her face and nonchalantly answered, "Sorry, Boss. I didn't get enough sleep last night because of Brandon."

She thought Clifford would let her get away today if she would use Brandon as an alibi. Brandon is his close friend. Besides, Clifford knew that she went on a date with Brandon.

But little did she know, her answer made the situation worse. The crease on Clifford's forehead deepened and his lips already formed a thin line, signifying he was unhappy with her response.

'Damn! Why is he so grumpy as early as this morning?' Bianca pondered to herself.

"Boss, I think you should smile a little bit. You look like you are about to eat me whole today! Have you eaten your breakfast, Boss?" Bianca was trying her best to lighten the atmosphere inside that room.

"If you haven't, why don't we go out and grab some breakfast? I am hungry! I didn't have one today!" Bianca added, putting on a pitiful face while rubbing her stomach.

Clifford fell silent for a moment, just staring at Bianca with his complicated emotions. His eyes softened a little bit when he heard that she hadn't eaten anything yet.

'That punk, Brandon. After spending a night with her, why didn't he even let her eat breakfast before coming here? What an irresponsible man he is?' Clifford lamented to himself.

Clifford immediately stood up and walked towards the door. Bianca just watched him in confusion.

"What are you waiting for? You said you are hungry… Come and follow me!"

Bianca's face brightened up when Clifford said that. In order to perform well, she needed energy. And food was an essential source of energy.

Bianca gleefully followed Clifford. 

"Boss, treat me today! Is that alright? Since this is my first day of work here!" Bianca shamelessly asked Clifford.

Clifford arched his eyebrows and said, "Yes, it's your first day of work. But you are late!"

Bianca crumpled her face with a pout. She already apologized to him. But it seemed that Clifford truly held a grudge.

"Okay. Then let me treat you so that you will not be grumpy anymore. Hehe!" Bianca suggested, laughing at him.

"Do you think you can bribe me with food? You can't change the fact that you are still late on your first day of work!"

The two continued their bantering until they reached the company cafeteria. It was already break time so there were lots of employees eating their snacks inside the cafeteria.

They were surprised when they saw their CEO entering the cafeteria. He seldom eats snacks there. He would always ask his assistant Dexter to order food for him and deliver it to his office.

Aside from that, Clifford caught their attention because he came together with a woman.

"Hey, tell me I am dreaming? Our CEO comes down to eat here and he is with a woman! Who is she? She is a new face!"

"This is the first time I see her. What is her relationship with our CEO?"

"Oh, he is talking to her. Our CEO is talking to a girl as if he is showing her around."

Several pairs of eyes were watching Clifford and Bianca. Indistinct chattering could be heard. They were surely talking about them.

Bianca noticed the strange gazes and curious look in the eyes of the other employees.

  She moved closer to Clifford and suddenly elbowed him on his stomach. 

"Hey, Boss. I can see that you are very popular. See, everyone is looking at you right now!" Bianca said, teasing Clifford.

Everyone who witnessed that gasped and widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Whoah, did you see that? Did she just elbow our CEO? Oh my gosh… this lady is so bold! Is she not afraid of our cold and aloof CEO?"
