Chased By My Demon CEO

The sound of Viona's breathing could be heard clearly by Teddy, who was standing beside the mistress. He was already very worried that Madame would get angry. Teddy was seen giving a signal to the maids to get ready behind their mistress to avoid anything unwanted. He was afraid that the woman the master brought home would cause trouble with their mistress.

"Are you deaf huh?!! I've been asking for water," said Laura with her hands on her waist, in front of Viona. Laura's middle eastern eyes were scanning Viona from top to toe.

"What water?" Viona asked pretending to be stupid. She knew that her mentality was currently at stake in front of this comfort woman in front of her.

"What do you think water is?! Of course drinking water, what water is it?!!" Laura replied irritably. She felt a little depressed by the sharp look of Viona's eyes that stared at her without a blink.

"Just take it yourself," Viona said quietly, pointing at the dispenser near the kitchen with her index finger without guilt.

Hearing Viona's words made Laura's emotions rise. She felt angry because she was underestimated by Viona, who she thought was a maid. When Laura was about to open her mouth again, all the maids behind Viona came forward and made a barricade protecting Viona from Laura, who was only a few inches away from Viona. Seeing the maids united against her made Laura's mentality shrink. Because she did not want to look for trouble, Laura finally walked to the kitchen to get a drink. Her throat was dry after staying up late with Fernando. After quenching her thirst, Laura then walked back to the stairs to go back up to the room. She was still not satisfied after spending all night with Fernando. Without embarrassment, Laura went up to the second floor. When Fernando brought her home last night, she did not have time to pay attention to the interior of Fernando's mansion. Now in the morning, she realized that Fernando's mansion was more beautiful than the museums she often visited in Quebec.

After Laura was gone from her sight, suddenly Viona's legs went limp. She really almost kissed the floor if Teddy didn't hold her, as he immediately crouched down to protect Viona's body from being in direct contact with the floor. Seeing Viona was about to fall down made the maids panic. Several maids immediately support the mistress to walk towards the family room not far from the kitchen.

"Have a drink first, Madame," Teddy said quietly as he gave a glass of warm water to Viona.

Without speaking, Viona immediately accepted the water that Teddy had given her. She then drank it slowly. She then handed her glass to the butler. She took a deep breath to relieve her chest which was very tight while closing her eyes. Teddy and the maids in the family room looked very sorry to see the condition of their mistress, who looked very devastated.

"I want to go to the park to get some fresh air," said Viona quietly as she looked at Teddy who was standing beside her.   

"But it's very windy, Madame," Teddy replied quickly.

"I need some fresg oxygen to relieve the tightness in my chest, Teddy," Viona said softly.

Teddy was silent at the words of his Madame. He was really in a dilemma at the moment, whether to obey Madame's wishes or kept on doing his job. He didn't want to make Fernando angry for interfering in his business. Seeing Teddy was lost in thought for a while made Viona smile faintly. She finally realized that everyone in front of her was Fernando's employees.

"Yes, Teddy, you better continue with your work, I can walk to the garden myself," Viona said briefly with a forced smile.

"But Madame ..."

"It's okay, I can walk. You better finish your work. I don't want to get you into trouble for helping me," said Viona, cutting off Rita's words, the most senior maid.

Viona slowly got up from the sofa and then walked slowly towards the garden without any help. Teddy and the maids just silently saw their mistress went to the garden.

"I feel very guilty, sir," said Rita quietly to Teddy, who was standing beside him.

"Me too, Rita, but we can't do anything. This is a personal matter between master and madame. We have no right to interfere. Do you remember the incident at that time where Master was furious when we intervene their affairs?" said Teddy, faintly reminiscing the events two years ago, in which Fernando beat a maid who was considered presumptuous for daring to interfere in the problem.

Hearing Teddy's words made the maids went silent. They still remembered the incident where Fernando went crazy and made a maid permanently disabled because he was hit on the legs with a golf stick repeatedly. Remembering this incident made the maids finally ignored their feelings for Madame who really need moral support right now. They were more concerned about their own safety. Likewise with Teddy, who could only watch the mistress sat alone in the garden.

"Forgive us, Madame, we are poor people who need this job. We can't possibly mess with you," Teddy said quietly. He then went back into the house to continue his work. All breakfast must be ready before Fernando woke up.

Arriving at the garden, Viona did not hold back her tears. She cried silently alone in the garden, facing the lake. Remembering the incident that had just happened made her completely speechless. Seeing another woman wearing her husband's shirt completely destroyed her. All the sweet promises that Fernando had said all this time immediately returned to her memory like a film that was rewinded.

"I was wrong because I believed in you," Viona said softly as she touched her stomach slowly.

Viona slowly wiped the tears that wet her beautiful face using her hands. She then walked slowly towards the edge of the lake which was filled with ornamental fishes of various types and several pigeons that were deliberately kept in the garden. Viona grabbed the fish feed. There was a storage place not far from the bench where she sat earlier. After holding a bag of fish feed, she then spread it in the lake to feed the fishes on the lake. Every now and then, Viona threw some at the doves who were flying by as if they were asking for a share from Viona. Seeing the animals in front of her eating greedily made Viona smile and forget her sadness for a moment.
