Semua Bab CEO's Love in Trap: Bab 191 - Bab 200

After her daughter's crying subsided, Minnie finally looked up. While wiping the puffy cheeks in front of her, the old woman sighed, “Why didn't you say long ago that you liked Mr. Julian? If Mom and Dad found out, we wouldn't try our best to stop it." With a bitter smile, Mia squeezed her mother's hand and kissed it. "It's not your fault, Mom, but my stupidity. I should be aware and stick to my parents' advice." "You must be in a lot of pain every time we remind you of that," Minnie mumbled with tears in her eyes again. After taking a very heavy breath, the girl shrugged her shoulders briefly. "I know it's for my own good. Because of that, I'm very sorry for putting logic aside.” "No, Mia. That is Mom's and Dad's ego. We are afraid that our family's peace will be disturbed. We forgot that your happiness is much more important than that,” Minnie sighed in an arid voice. “All this time, we always give you orders and prohibitions without considering you

With eyes glued to Julian, Mia tiptoed into the bathroom. The man lying on the bed was still closed. Even though the girl turned the door lever and made a “click” sound, he didn't move at all. "Does he wake up?" the young servant thought while clutching two small bottles in her hands. One contained egg whites and the other was empty. After a few moments, the girl could breathe a sigh of relief. Julian hugged the pillow even tighter. “I have to hurry,” Mia thought as she entered and closed the door very slowly. Once she arrived at the destination, the girl immediately took action. She put the bottles on the sink and opened Julian's face wash container. Without wasting time, she poured the gel into the empty bottle provided. "Fortunately, there is little left," Mia muttered while securing the bottle that was already filled. Then, the girl took the egg whites and put it in the face wash container. “My apologies, Mister Julian. It's your brother's

As soon as she opened the apartment door, Mia's eyebrows rose to the max. She didn't expect the CEO to greet her warmly. "Good evening, Miss Sanders. That dress looks perfect on you,” Julian said, raising the corners of his lips. Instead of being flattered, the girl sighed in disbelief. "Why are you here, Sir? Aren't you supposed to go get Miss Johnson?" "What for? She said she could come to the restaurant herself,” Julian replied innocently. "Did she say it when you offered to pick her up?" Mia inquired with a faint shake of the head. "No. I said that it would be more effective if we just met there. She agreed and declared her independence. Miss Johnson doesn't mind, Mia." Hearing that seemingly nonchalant answer, the secretary automatically lowered her head and tried to remove the heavy air from the lungs. But apparently, one long puff was still not enough to free the chest from tightness. "That's really rude, Sir. Where is y

“Are you guys really this close? This is the first time I've seen such a close interaction between the CEO and the secretary." Katniss's words echoed in Mia's mind. The secretary really didn't think the model could guess that accurately. However, with too much worry, her brain had trouble processing ideas. Before she could speak, Julian had already made the problem worse. "Don't you know? I have known Mia since she was born. We even lived in the same house for a dozen years.” With fading warmth, Katniss turned her gaze to the secretary. "Why didn't you tell me about it, Miss Sanders? I have no idea that your relationship turns out to be this intimate.” “P-please don't misunderstand. Mister Julian and I are like siblings," Mia explained, trying to kill the seeds of "misunderstanding". "But I think we are more than that," the man chimed in, successfully adding to the chill in the air that enveloped them. “You are not only a sibli

After swallowing hard, Mia answered the call. With a slightly bowed head, she greeted, "Good evening, Sir." "Hello, Mia. Am I bothering you?" Hearing that cold tone, the girl's neck automatically turned stiffer. "No, Sir." “I heard you went to dinner with Julian and Katniss. Is that true?" In a sudden, the atmosphere turned quiet. Mia could only hear her own breath. "That's right, Sir." "It's such a coincidence that I have an extra spy,” Herbert chimed in, inviting more tension to devour the secretary. “E-extra spy?” "Yes, you know that I often hire people to spy on anyone, don't you?" In an instant, the air around Mia grew heavy. The girl had a hard time catching her breath. Her cold hands were clenched in front of the chest, while her frozen feet were glued to the floor. “So, how is their relationship, Mia? Has Julian started to open up yet?” With trembling lips, the girl forced her vocal cords to work
