บททั้งหมดของ CEO's Love in Trap: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

"Sorry, Bas, can you drive faster?" Gabriella asked as she continued to stare ahead. The road was empty, but their car had been overtaken by other cars several times. “Sorry, Mrs. Evans. I have to put safety first,” the secretary said casually. “But, there are not many vehicles on this road. I guess it's fine if you increase the speed." A second later, Sebastian turned his head and sighed faintly. “Now I understand why Max fell in love with you. You're so sweet and caring," he said unexpectedly. Gabriella's blinks suddenly froze. With furrowed brows, she tried to break the tension. "Why did you suddenly say that?" she sighed with a small crease on her forehead. In an instant, the secretary's expression became even. “Are you feeling uncomfortable? Sorry. I'm just trying to help you ease your worries." Blinking flatly, the woman returned her gaze to the road. Her hands were squeezing together again. “Do I need to call Max? Maybe,

Looking at Gabriella who was frozen with a pale face, the corner of the man's lips lifted faintly. “Are you still surprised by Sebastian's treatment? Sorry, he's been obsessed since the first time he saw you." Silently, the woman glanced at the secretary. Sebastian who just sat on the sofa, had returned to a serious expression, the expression he always showed whenever he was dealing with work. "Are you annoyed that I stopped your act?" the real mastermind asked. The secretary shrugged curtly. “What can I do if you have given the order?” he said casually. Witnessing the familiarity of two people in front of her, Gabriella's breath was getting louder. “Why do you have the heart to ruin Max's life? What's his fault that you want him to fall?” she asked in a thin, trembling voice. The tightness in her chest had constricted the throat. The mastermind and his confidant looked at each other in unison. After a moment of silence, Sebast

"Max, I'm fine," Gabriella said in a low, flat voice."Sorry, Gaby. I can't trust Sebastian," the man said as he continued to trace his wife's body.Knowing her husband's sincerity, Gabriella almost sighed heavily. Sebastian did not leave a visible trace. However, the woman still feels guilty for being helpless when she is touched by another man."What did he do to you?" Max asked, bending his knees to examine his wife's legs."It's nothing, Max. He just took me to meet you," the woman lied, trying to keep her expression even."Is it true?" the man inquired with an eyebrow raised. “Do you know that it's Sebastian who devised a plan to set me up in the office? I thought that he deliberately bought my time to kidnap you.”Sensing her husband's concern, the corners of Gabriella's lips lifted sadly. "But now I'm here, with you," she said, trying to ease the tension.Unexpectedly, that brief statement managed to make Max stand

As soon as he opened his eyes, Max was immediately taken aback by the void in front of him. Gabriella was no longer in his arms."Gabby?" the man called in a hoarse and unstable voice.Not getting an answer, Max finally put on his clothes and went to the bathroom."Gabriella?"Knowing his wife wasn't there too, the man's brow furrowed deeper. After shaking his eyeballs for a moment, he widened his eyes and immediately walked out of the room."Auntie! Auntie ...!" the man shouted as he hurried up the stairs.Just as Max was about to step downstairs, the door to his workroom opened and Gabriella came out with an eyebrow raised in surprise. "Why are you screaming, Max?"The man's motion froze for a moment. After a sigh of relief, he walked quickly to his wife.“Why did you leave the room without telling me? I thought that you disappeared,” Max sighed as he hugged the woman. With his eyes closed, he muffled the worry.

“Look! We've arrived," Max said as he let go of his wife's hand to turn the wheel.With arched brows, Gabriella looked around. As soon as she looked at the beautifully designed building in front of her, the woman's mouth opened wide."Max, are you taking me to a high class orchestra?" Gabriella sighed in disbelief.The man glanced over. Seeing his wife in awe, the corners of his lips lifted lightly. "Yes."In just an instant, the woman could no longer contain the turmoil in her chest. With teary eyes, she widened a smile. "I've been dreaming of this moment for a long time, Max," she said in a thin voice.However, as soon as the husband stopped the car, the woman's happiness faded.“But, what if someone recognizes you? You can be accused of not caring about Quebracha's business and having fun instead.”Casually, Max unbuckled his seatbelt and shook his head. "No need to worry. I've prepared everything."“
