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

~ At Sy Corp Building: Nighttime ~

Andrew, Alveena, and Clifford worked overtime so Bianca also waited for them to finish before going home.

She was sitting leisurely inside Clifford's office when she received a phone call. It was her friend and comrade from the Davis Family Guard who substituted her for guarding Zhen-Zhen.

"Hello, Ashton? Why did you call me?"

Clifford stopped what he was doing when he heard that.

'Ashton? Who is that? She is talking to a guy right now?' Clifford frowned at that thought.

He simply glanced at Bianca who was still talking on the phone. He tried to listen to her conversation.

"Bianca, there's something I want to tell you. But please, don't get mad at me. Okay?" Ashton's anxious voice was heard from the other line.

He knew that Bianca was very protective of Zhen-Zhen. When she was on leave, Bianca specifically asked him to guard Zhen-Zhen on her behalf since Ashton was part of the Davis Family Bodyguard.

"Stop beating around the bush, Ashton! Just tell me!" Bianca hated it when someone was trying to be suspenseful. She wanted it to be direct when reporting something to her.

Clifford just arched his eyebrows in amusement. Bianca sounded so fierce and authoritative right now.

He wondered what her relationship was with that guy called Ashton. He continued eavesdropping, pretending to be working on his desk.

Meanwhile, Bianca was already waiting for Ashton's reply.

"Something happened to us this afternoon. The lady boss almost got hurt…" Ashton said anxiously, waiting to be scolded by Bianca.

Bianca's eyes widened and she stood up from her seat the moment she heard that.

"What?!! What happen to our lady boss? Is she alright?! Is she safe?! Did you protect her?!" Bianca bombarded him with so many questions.

She accidentally raised her voice because she was worried about Zhen-Zhen. Clifford heard her clearly. He also stood up when he heard that.

"What happened to Lillie?" Clifford suddenly asked Bianca who was still talking on the phone. He knew that she was referring to Zhen-Zhen when she mentioned Lady Boss.

Bianca glanced at Clifford while listening to Ashton's explanation. She remembered that Clifford cared about her Lady Boss, Zhen-Zhen aka Lillie.

Bianca could see the worries in Clifford's eyes. She could tell that Clifford still had special feelings for her Lady Boss. She recalled how Clifford mumbled her name when he was drunk.

Clifford left his table and approached Bianca. He grabbed her shoulders and asked her again.

"Tell me! What happened to Lillie? Is she alright?"

After Ashton was done explaining to Bianca, so she decided to tell Clifford what happened. He was so anxious that he tightened his grip on her shoulders.

Bianca was hurting because of his tight grasp but she endured it.

"Lady Boss' car lost control in the road this afternoon. That they were able to stop her car after speeding on the highway. But her car was hit by a ten-wheeler truck in the middle of the road intersection. But Lady Boss is-"

Bianca was not yet done telling him everything when Clifford turned around, dashing out of his office.

"Eh, I'm not yet done speaking! Lady Boss is fine." Bianca said as she watched Clifford leaving in a hurry.

She wondered where he was going. She was his bodyguard so she had to stick with him. Hanging up the phone, Bianca followed Clifford in a rush to catch up with him.

Then she saw him going inside the finance department office. Andrew and Alveena were preparing to leave when Clifford suddenly barged in.

"Brother, are you still here?" Alveena asked her brother in puzzlement. She didn't know why he was running when he entered the office.

"Cliff, what happened?" Andrew also asked him.

Clifford moved closer to Andrew, holding his shoulders. Alveena and Andrew were confused by his reaction. Then Bianca also entered the room. The couple gave her a questioning look as if asking her 'What happened to your Boss?'.

"Did you know what happened to your sister-in-law? Is she safe? Can you confirm if she's safe?" Clifford told Andrew with his pleading look. His voice sounded desperate. He wanted to know what happened to Zhen-Zhen.

Bianca could only sigh helplessly while watching Clifford. 'He hasn't moved on yet.'

Though clueless about everything, Andrew just nodded his head before picking up his phone to call his brother, Tristan.

After a few rings, the call got connected and Tristan's voice was heard from the other line.

Tristan: "Hey, Brother, how are you?"

Hearing the normal tone of Tristan, Andrew could tell that everything was fine. If something bad happened to Zhen-Zhen, he would never be able to talk to Tristan normally.

Andrew: "Brother, I just want to ask if everything is fine. Is Sister-in-law okay?"

Tristan told Andrew everything that happened this afternoon. And he assured him that his wife was fine. Tristan also informed Andrew that they would be having twins. Andrew congratulated him before ending the call.

Andrew held Clifford's shoulder, informing him that Zhen-Zhen was fine. Everyone inside that room felt relieved when they heard Andrew's confirmation.

"I'm sorry. Bianca should be guarding Lillie, not me." Clifford blurted out of the blue making Andrew, Alveena, and Bianca speechless.

He was blaming himself but it was not his fault.

"No, don't apologize. This has nothing to do with you. It's not your fault. Don't worry. The Davis Family will investigate this incident thoroughly." Andrew tried to console Clifford.

"Bianca, this is not your fault too. Okay?" Alveena also comforted Bianca.

Clifford and Bianca remained silent.

"It's already late. Let's go home now. Bianca accompany my brother home. Andrew and I will also go home. I will be staying at his place starting tonight," Alveena said, trying her best to lighten their mood.

The four of them left the Sy Corp Building. Alveena and Andrew headed home straight but Clifford didn't want to go home yet.

"I'm going out for a drink. Do you want me to drop you off at your home first?" Clifford asked Bianca who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

"No, I must accompany you and make sure you arrive home safe. I'm coming with you," Bianca insisted.

Clifford had no strength to argue with her. So he allowed her to join him for a drink. They stopped by one of the famous Bars in the City of Empire.
