Chapter 8. His Niece

Miley's POV.

I was having second thoughts about giving Sir Clifford the food I had cooked, not after what I’d seen the other day. It was lunchtime already, and no one had come up from the cafeteria to bring him his meal.

“What did you cook today, Miles?” Cara asked as she came up to my desk.

“H-huh? A-ah, well—” I wasn’t able to finish what I was saying when Sir Clifford suddenly called me.

I immediately stood and approached him. “Y-yes, Sir?” I asked.

“It’s lunch time,” he said simply. I nodded in response. “Where’s my lunch?” he asked.

I swallowed hard, feeling like I might melt under his gaze. But I couldn’t just give it to him—not with Cara around. I adjusted my glasses before replying, “Do you want me to call the chef to bring something up for you?”

He didn’t answer right away, instead removing his glasses. The move only made him look more handsome in my eyes. A few strands of hair fell across his forehead, and for a split second, Superman was the first thing that came to mind.

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 11. Dismissed

    Miley's POV.“Hey, it’s lunch time. I’m heading out for a date. I’ll be back after lunch,” Cara said, waving as she gathered her things.“What? I cooked for you and you’re not even eating here?” I asked in dismay.She grinned apologetically. “My friends invited me out last minute. Why don’t you just give your food to Uncle’s guest instead? Perfect timing. Bye, Miley, see you later!” And with that, she rushed toward the elevator.I let out a heavy sigh as she disappeared from view, my gaze drifting to the bag where I’d carefully packed the food I cooked. Even now, Sir Clifford and the woman were still chatting inside his office.Should I bring him the food, or wait until they’re finished? They were laughing together, their voices carrying faintly into the hallway, and the sound made my stomach twist. Catching up about their love story, perhaps? The thought made me sick.I was starving, but how could I eat before him? That would be improper. With a resigned breath, I pulled out the lunc

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 10. Jealous

    Miley's POV.“So, the CEO’s secretary is here? What brings you here, Millicent?” Chelsea’s mocking tone dripped with venom as soon as I stepped inside the HR Department.I forced myself not to rise to the bait. Sir Clifford had asked me to fetch some documents, which meant I had no choice but to walk right into my enemy’s lair.I gave her a flat look. “What’s the matter, Chelsea? Did Jackson’s betrayal make you meaner than usual?”Her lips curled, but before she could retort, a familiar, high-pitched voice cut through the air.“Millicent! Is that you?”Kendi, the HR Head, came rushing over, her face lighting up as she pulled me into a warm greeting.“It’s been a while, Kendi,” I said with a polite smile, grateful for the interruption.But her cheer instantly faltered the moment her gaze landed on Chelsea, who stood there with arms crossed, rolling her eyes in irritation.“Chelsea Guanzon! Didn’t I assign you to lead the applicant interviews? Or did you dump it again on Bubbles and Van

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 9. Compliment

    Miley's POV.I couldn’t bring myself to look at Sir Clifford after the nonsense I had blurted out earlier at lunch. Now, we were sitting side by side in his car on our way to a meeting with a former investor who wanted to come back.“Have you talked to Cara?” he suddenly asked out of nowhere.I glanced at him. He was busy on his phone. “W-what do you mean, Sir?” I feigned ignorance, hoping he was referring to work—please, let it be about work.“The one where you mistook us for a couple. Did she clear up your assumptions?” he asked, sneaking a glance at me. That playful smile was tugging at his lips again.My face heated up instantly—oh no, I was blushing. Shems! My eyes darted around the car, restless, unsure where to look. There was no escape; we were trapped inside a moving vehicle.“I gave her the job because she needed experience,” he explained casually.I nodded repeatedly. “She’s a fast learner. She can handle the work even without supervision,” I replied.“But she can’t cook li

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 7. Chelsea

    Miley's POV.After I cooked for Sir Clifford, I felt like he softened toward me. Things went back to the way they used to be—he would call me whenever he needed something. I continued preparing meals for him, even for Cara. But along with that, I started noticing something else… he was getting closer to her. Especially with his intern assistant. Sometimes, I couldn’t help but feel like there was something more between them.“Cara, do you have your own car? Do you want me to give you a ride home?” I asked one afternoon when we happened to be in the elevator together.She smiled faintly and shook her head. “Thanks for the offer, Miley. But someone’s picking me up. Besides, you’d be going out of your way if you drove me home,” she replied.“You have someone picking you up?” I asked again.“No one,” she answered curtly.My brows furrowed. If she didn’t have a driver, then who was taking her home? Before I could ask another question, the elevator doors opened to the basement parking lot.“

  • My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband[ENGLISH]   Chapter 6. Rejected

    Miley's POV.It was Cara’s second day as my intern assistant, and I couldn’t deny how much help she had been to me. We’d grown close, and she already felt like a younger sister. What I couldn’t quite understand, however, was why Sir Clifford kept calling for Cara instead of me. Was he avoiding me? I didn’t want to assume, but every time he had something for me, he sent it through her.“Miles, Sir Clifford said we should have lunch here in the office. He already ordered food,” Cara told me.“What? But I already ordered lunch for us. The delivery guy should be here any moment now,” I said with a grimace.Before Cara could respond, the elevator doors slid open, revealing the delivery guy carrying my order. I quickly stood up to meet him.“Thank you. I added a little extra for your trouble,” I said with a smile as I handed him the payment. He returned the smile, and I couldn’t help but notice the braces on his teeth. Handsome, fair-skinned, with those sharp chinito eyes—he even looked lik
