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

~ At Sy Corp Main Office ~

Clifford had just finished his team meeting when he received an unexpected visitor.

Olive was already waiting for him inside his office. He stopped at the door when he saw her back. She was sitting on the couch near his desk.

Clifford gave his assistant, Dexter, a questioning look as if asking him \'What is she doing in my office? Are you the one who let her in?\'

Dexter just shrugged his shoulders, shaking his head. He had no idea either. He was in a meeting with him. How could he let her in?

Clifford just waved his hand lazily, dismissing Dexter. Getting his signal, Dexter immediately left, giving Clifford and Olive their privacy.

Dexter would just watch out the door for them so that no one would disturb them during their talk.

Clifford walked over facing Olive with his expressionless look.

In a very serious tone, Clifford asked her, "What are you doing here, Miss Patterson? I don\'t remember having an appointment with you today."

Clifford remained indifferent and cold toward Olive. But he felt strange. For him, Olive was just a woman in his past. He didn\'t feel anything for her anymore.

However, if he didn\'t care about her anymore then how come he was hell-bent on creating conflict between Tristan and Zhen-Zhen?

Clifford was asking himself if he was still doing this because of his revenge or he had another motive aside from getting revenge? Was it because of Zhen-Zhen? Does he want her for himself?

Olive stood up, looking at him with eyes filled with regrets and longing.

"I don\'t have appointments with you but… can you please give me a few minutes of your time. I wanna talk to you," Olive begged Clifford with her desperate voice.

"Ok. You have ten minutes to tell me what you want." Clifford responded nonchalantly.

He sounded like he was not interested at all in what she was about to say. He didn\'t even bother inviting her to sit down again. He just stood there, waiting for her to speak up.

Olive clenched her fists. She was hurting whenever Clifford would treat her like this.

But she refused to give up. She would try her best to win him back, especially now that she knew the truth.

"Why did you lie? Lillie Meyer is not your girlfriend. She is Tristan\'s wife. Did you do that to make me jealous?" Olive confronted him directly, asking him bravely.

"Cliff! You win. I am so jealous!" she admitted, expressing her feelings to him.

She was hoping that Clifford still had feelings for her.

Clifford laughed dryly when he heard that. He still despised Olive for the betrayal she had done. But it didn\'t mean that his feelings for her remained the same.

"Lied to you? Are you kidding me, Miss Patterson? How can you accuse me of lying to you? Who cares if Lillie is Tristan\'s wife? Can\'t she be my girlfriend too?"

Clifford stared at her mockingly. "Have you forgotten what happened in the past? Someone else\'s fiancee was flirting with another guy."

"So are you saying that you are doing this because of the past? Are you insane, Clifford?! You are chasing after someone else\'s wife!" Olive also raised her voice now.

"This is a different case! Don\'t fool yourself, Clifford! You saw it. I have seen it with my own eyes too! Tristan and Lillie love each other so much!"

Olive found out the truth after seeing the live broadcast of the Gala during the Centennial Year Celebration of the City of Empire.

She saw how Tristan acted, kissing and introducing Zhen-Zhen in front of everyone. The husband and wife looked happy together. There\'s no way Lillie would cheat on Tristan.

"Did you just come here to tell me this? You are just wasting your time, Miss Patterson. If you have nothing more to say. You can go and leave my office now."

Clifford was about to turn and go to his table when Olive suddenly moved closer to him. She tiptoed and grabbed his head, pulling his head down to cover his lips.

Clifford was stupefied for a few moments. He didn\'t expect that Olive would suddenly kiss him.

But Clifford just remained still, not responding to her. It looked like she was just kissing a robot.

When Clifford recovered from the shock, he pushed her away.

"What the hell are you doing, Olive??!"

Clifford immediately wiped his lips using the back of his palm, glaring at her as if he loathed her so much.

Olive felt like crying. This was the first time he acted like that. She felt insulted since Clifford appeared to be disgusted by that kiss.

"Cliff, please stop being stubborn. Stop your revenge. Tristan and I, Nothing happened between us! We didn\'t have sex."

"Cliff! I still love you. Please forgive me. I regretted everything. Please give me another chance. Let\'s start all over again." Olive said in her pleading look.

Olive wanted to touch him but Clifford raised his hand, signaling her not to step further.

"Olive, even though nothing happened between you it didn\'t mean you didn\'t cheat on me. For goodness\'s sake, you are engaged but you were flirting and making out with another man."

"You disgust me a lot. After so many years, you just kept quiet. Now, you still have the guts to ask me for a second chance? It\'s too late for us. I don\'t love you anymore. I love someone else… that someone is Lillie…"

After saying those words to Olive, Clifford walked away, leaving his office. He couldn\'t stand to stay in one room with her.

Nothing would change even if Tristan and Olive would insist that they didn\'t do the deed. Furthermore, after she kissed him moments ago, Clifford finally confirmed that he didn\'t love her anymore.

He felt strange but the moment her lips touched his lips, Zhen-Zhen\'s face popped up in his mind, thus snapping him back to reality. At that certain moment, he had realized that he had already fallen for Lillie.

"Why now? Why am I feeling this? I am not supposed to love her… why Lillie? She\'s already married."
