The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

~ Sy Residence ~

Clifford headed home after his meeting with Mr. Lee, the owner of the Mega Mall in the City of Empire. They were busy preparing for the upcoming product launching.

So even weekend, he scheduled a meeting with Mr. Lee just for the sake of finishing all the necessary preparations for this new product launching of Sy Corp.

Upon entering the house, he proceeded straight to his study. His assistant, Dexter, was following him behind. He wondered what happened to his boss.

It seemed like his mind was wandering somewhere. Even during their meeting with Mr. Lee, Clifford looked distracted, not paying more attention to Mr. Lee. Fortunately, Dexter was there to take cover for him. 

Clifford was still silent when he reached his study. He sat down on his executive chair, leaning his back. He closed his eyes, massaging his temples.

"Migraine??" Dexter asked Clifford worriedly.

He remained silent, not responding to his assistant. Dexter just remained standing in front of his desk, waiting for his final instructions.

After his long silence, Clifford finally spoke up.

"Dex, I want you to do something for me," He said using his authoritative voice.

"What is it, Boss? Just give me your order." Dexter politely said to Clifford.

This time Clifford opened his eyes and glanced at his assistant with so much seriousness on his face.

"I want you to check someone for me, and find out everything about her including her likes and dislikes. I want to know everything about this woman."

Dexter: "..."

Dexter forgot that he had a tongue. He didn't know what to say when he heard that. He was utterly shocked.

'I can't believe it. My Boss who is a woman-hater just asked me to do a background check about a woman and to gather more information about her including her likes and dislikes?!!' The disbelief was evident to his face.

'Is this the end of the world? Are aliens attacking? What's happening?' he added to his thoughts, still eyeing his Boss suspiciously.

Clifford frowned when he didn't hear any response from Dexter.

"Did you hear me?"

Clifford's stern voice pulled Dexter out of his deep thoughts.

"Y-Yeah… Boss. I heard you."

'That's why I couldn't believe it. Because those words came from you…' Dexter murmured to himself.

"What's her name, Boss?" He asked him, feeling intrigued.

"Lillie." Clifford paused for a moment. He softly said her first name but he was hesitant to mention her last name.

"Lillie Davis…" Clifford finally said it, but his face was covered by complicated emotions when he mentioned the surname, Davis.

"Lillie Davis? Ahem, Boss… if you don't mind… is she related to the prominent Davis Family here in the City of Empire?" Dexter asked him curiously.

"Yes," Clifford plainly stated, averting his gaze to his laptop as he turned it on.

Dexter nodded his head while rubbing his chin. He tried to recall and picture out Lillie Davis. Most of the members of the Davis Family were well-known. This was the first time he heard the name, Lillie Davis.

When he didn't find the answer in his mind, Dexter decided to ask Clifford once again.

"Is she Tristan's cousin? Why do you want to know everything about her, Boss?"

Dexter was becoming a nosy assistant once again. Clifford raised his head and glanced at him.

"I want to know everything about her because I'm gonna court her and win her heart."

Dexter: "..."

Dexter had not recovered yet from his last remarks when Clifford said another word that shocked Dexter more.

"She's not Tristan's cousin… she is Tristan's wife," Clifford informed him.

Dexter: "..."

"She's also the lady we bumped into the Florenz restaurant, the one who spilled wine on my suit. She bought me a suit using Tristan Davis's Black Card." Clifford's lips curled up into a playful smile after saying that.

'Damn! My boss is too much. Giving me one shock after another. Argh! What a small world is this? Who would have thought that beautiful lady was Tristan's wife? Is it true… Tristan Davis is already married?'

Dexter was trying his best to absorb everything he had discovered today.

'But wait… that's not the point here. Did my boss just tell me he is going to court Tristan's wife?' Dexter's eyes widened in that realization.

"Boss, are you sure about this? She's already married to Tristan Davis. If you try to hit on her then… it will create more conflict between you and Tristan. Are you trying to cover his wife as your revenge?" Dexter had a bad feeling about this plan.

He didn't expect that Clifford would resort to this kind of strategy. This was so unlikely of him. 

'Was meeting Olive accidentally today the reason why my Boss was triggered to do this?' 

Dexter also heard that Clifford met Olive, his ex-fiancee in the Mall a while ago.

"What's wrong with that? Tristan and I are already in conflict. Besides, I am just giving him the taste of his own medicine. This is the first time I will play dirty," Clifford said nonchalantly. 

He was really determined to do this and he didn't care about the consequences after. Dexter could only watch his boss helplessly.

"Playing dirty? What are you talking about? Care to share with me, brother?"

The two men averted their gaze to the door of his study where the voice came from. They saw Alveena standing by the door, smiling sweetly at them.

"Lady Alveena!" Dexter greeted her with a surprised expression on his face.

"How long have you been there? Are you eavesdropping on us?" Clifford asked Alveena with his stern cold voice.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes at his sister who just suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Alveena walked over to them. She's still smiling widely. She's already used to seeing her brother's grumpy expression every day. Nothing changed.

"I only heard your last remarks, my dear brother. Is Tristan the name of the person who seduced my supposed sister-in-law?" 

Alveena was in the State at that time. She had no idea about what happened and the real story about the betrayal of Clifford's ex-fiancee. 

Her brother didn't want to talk about the past. No one in the family was allowed to bring up the topic of Clifford's broken engagement.
