Nadine sat motionless in front of Teddy’s desk. Her face was deathly pale, while cold sweat slowly dampened her temples. Inside her chest, her heart pounded violently, as if it might leap out at any moment.

“So… Boss Teddy, about my request?” Her voice nearly broke, trembling with overwhelming anxiety.

Teddy looked at her for a long moment, allowing silence to envelop the room.

“I promise I will pay everything back. I’m willing to work without salary until the debt is fully repaid,” Nadine said again, filled with both hope and desperation.

Without saying much, Teddy opened the safe beside him. He took out a stack of cash and calmly placed it on the desk. “This is one hundred and fifty million.”

Nadine’s eyes widened completely. Her breath caught. “For real, Boss?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

Nadine shook her head quickly, still unable to believe what lay before her.

“Your salary will be deducted five hundred thousand per month. You will still receive the rest for living expens

  • The Cruel CEO's Mistress    Chapter 19

    Chapter 19 “I’m tired. I want to rest.” Justine threw a plastic bottle of mineral water toward the door, the impact producing a loud thud. “Darling…” Eva hoped she could still persuade her husband. After all, she was used to believing that Justine would always give in to her wishes. But Eva was wrong. She was truly confused by Justine’s behavior that night. She had never imagined he could be this angry. This was the first time Eva had seen Justine lose control so completely. Why was I so confident that I could control him? Eva murmured to herself. I will still turn you into my puppet. Eva watched as Justine climbed onto the bed. She followed and lay down beside him. I will try to seduce him, Eva resolved. “Darling,” she called, reaching for Justine’s hand. Justine’s gaze snapped toward her, sharp and filled with undisguised fury. His hand gripped Eva’s wrist tightly, twisting it behind her back until she screamed in pain. “Didn’t you hear what I just said?” he snapped coldly

    Nadine was still enveloped in disbelief, yet she obediently followed Teddy’s instructions. While waiting for her turn at the bank, she reached into her bag. “Boss Teddy, may I call my mother for a moment? I forgot to inform her earlier,” she asked for permission. “Go ahead,” Teddy replied briefly but kindly. Nadine immediately called her mother. It did not take long before a gentle voice answered on the other end. “Hello, my child,” Erna’s voice came through. “Hello, Mom. How is Dad’s condition?” Nadine asked, her tone still laced with anxiety. “Thank God, my child. Your father can already eat a little now,” Erna replied with sincere relief. Nadine smiled emotionally, her eyes filling with tears. “Thank God, Mom. Our prayers have finally been answered.” “But actually, Mom is still confused, Nad,” Erna continued hesitantly. “Confused about what, Mom?” Nadine’s heart began to race. She feared there might be bad news being withheld. “Earlier, your father was moved to a very nice

    Teddy stared at the girl sitting across from him. Nadine’s face was pale, almost devoid of color. “What is it? You want to talk?” Teddy asked. Nadine remained silent. Her legs trembled, her palms damp with sweat. “Boss Teddy…” her voice was barely audible. “Just say it.” From Nadine’s expression and demeanor, Teddy could already guess what she was about to say. Even without her explaining her intention, he had already figured it out. Still, he asked. “May… may I apply for a loan?” “A loan?” Teddy raised an eyebrow. “Yes, Boss,” Nadine answered very softly. “How much?” “One hundred and fifty million rupiah.” Nadine’s lips trembled as she mentioned the amount she needed. Teddy fell silent. His brows furrowed. “What collateral do you have?” Nadine shook her head. “It’s a large amount, and you have no collateral,” Teddy said sharply. “I’ll repay it from my monthly salary, Boss.” “I’m not sure you can last working here until it’s paid off. You could take the money and leave.”

    Nadine rubbed her throbbing temples. Her head ached, her chest felt tight, as if a heavy weight were pressing in from every direction. Her mother’s words still echoed in her mind. What should I do? If only she had something valuable, she would have sold it already. But the truth was, she had nothing. Silent tears fell down her cheeks. Her petite body felt far too fragile to carry such an enormous burden. What if I can’t get that money? Fear crept in every time she imagined her father’s and mother’s faces. Nadine tried to think, searching for a way out, but the more she thought, the worse her head felt. She rubbed her temples again, hoping the pain would ease—though she knew the source of her pain was not merely physical exhaustion. Despite the pounding in her head, Nadine still went to work. She did not dare risk losing her job. This job was too valuable—perhaps the only thing keeping her afloat right now. The distance from her rented room to the busway stop was not far, and she

    “Nad… Dad’s condition is getting worse. He’s in the hospital now. The doctors said… he needs to be transferred to a bigger hospital…” Erna broke down in tears as she delivered the news about her husband’s critical state. “Mom, I’ll send the money today for Dad’s treatment. Please don’t worry, okay? Dad will be fine. He will get better.” Nadine forced her voice to stay steady, even though her heart was shattering. She wanted to go home, wanted to be at her father’s side, but she couldn’t leave her job. Her salary was the only hope they had for the medical expenses. “Yes, Nad… I don’t know what to do. Your little brother still doesn’t understand anything. I’m handling everything alone. I’m confused, Nad… I’m scared…” Erna’s cries grew louder, tightening Nadine’s chest. “Just follow what the hospital staff tell you, Mom. I want to go home… but I can’t leave my work.” The girl cried softly, drowning in guilt and helplessness. “It’s okay, Nad. I understand. Just pray for your father
