The Great CEO's Wife Is A Gangster Chapter 253

She survived!

She amazingly lasted for a week . She couldn't believe it . despites the eyes watching her and scrutinizing her job, she was able to live to tell the tale .

It's not easy to be the CEO's secretary . It was actually a h.e.l.l of a drive . he has a very busy schedule for the whole week and now Alex was thinking if the man has time for himself . She couldn't help it but feel pity for the man . does he still have time to take care of himself . She puffs a sigh .

Ah! Why is she thinking about him well in fact it was her day-off? might as well rest . She lazily woke up but when she realized that Miracle ended up joining the quiz bee partic.i.p.ants, she went back to bed . Yes, she will be attending the inter-school district math quiz . Also, she was the school's representative for the chess tournament so she needs to be away for weekened .

Ah… she went back to sleep but after a few minutes, her phone rings . She lazily picks it up without looking at the caller id .

"Still sleeping?" a man spoke on the other line .

"Ehm . Why are you calling?" she lazily answered .

"I was actually calling to check if you're not busy since I will be dropping to the City before going to the valley of dreams . " He smirked since he knew that the woman loves to go that place .

"Eh?" the woman jerked . "Are you saying you're going to the valley of dreams?" her eyes widened as he quickly rose to her feet .

"yes, you heard it right . " the man chuckled . "I have a business meeting to attend near that area and I thought of you . wanna tag along?"

"Of course I love to!" she exclaimed in excitement .

"Okay . then fix your stuffs, I'll be there in a few minutes . "

"Noted!" the woman smiled as she dashes towards the shower room . she was so happy that she kept singing in an out-of-tune voice while taking a bath . She didn't even hear her phone rings for more than twice now .

After twenty minutes, she came out feeling fresh with a white robe enveloping her slender frame and a towel on her hair . She was about to open the fridge when she heard a knock on the door .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
Clement? Did he flew his car? She thought .

However, when she opened the door, a man was definitely standing in front her but it was not Clement .

Ethan?! Her eyes widened .

"S-sir Ethan? What are you doing here?" she was surprise and immediately fixed her robe .

"I've been calling you for how many times now . " he uttered callously .

"Eh?" she didn't hear her phone ringed . "I'm sorry, I just got out from the shower room . " she explained . Ah, why is she feeling the need to defend herself?

"Are you not going to invite me in?" he suddenly raised his brow . Alex was taken aback .

"C-come in…" she doesn't have a choice . The man instantly went inside and tried to find a comfortable couch to sit on . he doesn't need to wait for the woman to a.s.sist him since he wanted to make himself comfortable .

The room was indeed small and he was surprise as to how the woman was able to live in this kind of apartment considering her background . Then his eyes started to roam around .

Alex scoffed but tried to maintain a cool composure . ah, why is this man at her house all of a sudden? How will she go with Clement? Is she going to shew him? ah! She's annoyed .

"Do you have some food out there? I suddenly felt my stomach grumbling . " He grinned .

What? he even wanted to have his breakfast here? Should she let him pay for the food? She scowled .

"Why are you here?" she asked annoyingly .

"Visiting you?" he was fooling around . however, the woman didn't buy his joke .

"I have an appointment today . unfortunately, I need my secretary to go with me . " he nonchalantly spoke .

"Eh? But today is my day-off!" she hissed .

"I know . but I really need your help . " His eyes were pleading . "Mister Darius is with his wife and he can't possibly leave his disabled wife alone so I was thinking if you could entertain the old woman while I discuss business with him . "

Alex was thinking when her phone ringed . It was Clement, looks like his almost near the area .

"Clement…" she distanced herself before answering the call . though Ethan could still hear her . "I'm sorry, I can't come with you today . something came up at work and I need to be there . " she softly uttered .

"Oh, okay . if it is important then don't worry, guess we have to go next time . "

The woman faked a smile . "I'm truly sorry . " then she hung up . After the call got disconnected, she sighed and looked at Ethan's direction who freely opened the fridge .

"I'm sorry, I'm starving . " He blinked at the woman who just rolled her eyes on him .

"As you can see, my fridge only have bread for breakfast . " She went near him and took the bread out from the bridge and laid it on the table . "Want coffee?"

"Ehm, sure why not . "

Alex opened a drawer on top of her and took a coffee sachet . She's not use to drinking coffee but she decided to keep some since Clement loves coffee more than tea .

"This should fill your stomach for the meantime . Sorry that I only have bread . " She voiced after pouring a hot water on his mug . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

"Do you only have bread for breakfast every time?" he asked when the woman sat opposite him .

"Nope . It's just that I didn't have time to go to the grocery store this morning . " she simply replied after sipping his green tea . "how about you? why didn't you eat breakfast at your suite before coming here? I'm sure your always feasting out there . " she glowered .

"No matter how delicious and festive the food is; you won't enjoy it if you're eating alone . That's depressing you know . "

Alex suddenly felt a pang of pain within her . ah, this poor man . Oh, how she wanted to comfort him right now . she wanted to reach her hand and caress the man's shoulder but she chose to maintain the boss and employee relations.h.i.+p .

"We should be there before 9am . " Ethan glanced at his wrist.w.a.tch .

"Eh? Then we should go now . " the woman stood up instantly . Seems like she had forgotten that she was wearing a robe .

"Are you planning to show yourself in that outfit?" he smirked .

The woman jolted when she realized that she was indeed wearing a robe . Dang! then she dashed towards her room, leaving Ethan in the table .

After a few minutes, she came out wearing a plain peach dress . Ah, it was one of those whom they bought at the fas.h.i.+on store . then Ethan suddenly remembered that for the past few days, Alex had been wearing dress almost every day . Did she learn to love it already? then he smiled when he saw a beautiful woman walking towards him .

"Let's go . " she gave out a smile and Ethan's heart skipped a beat .

Meanwhile, the compet.i.tion was held at the Central city . it was an inter-school district compet.i.tion for all levels .

Mira, who knew she will be partic.i.p.ating on the chess compet.i.tion made sure to finish the math quiz . There were 20 partic.i.p.ants in total and Mira was the youngest of them all . because of her young age, some of the partic.i.p.ants were looking down on her and even taunting her .

She wanted to engage into a fight but she controlled her urges . It won't do her any good . she might even be disqualified if she does that .

"Don't mind them . " a voice of a little kid echoed from behind her . so she spun around to see who spoked . A little guy who was a bit taller than her . guess he was at her age .

"Hi, my name is Robi . I'm here to partic.i.p.ate in the art contest . " He was smiling at her .

"You're an artist?" she raised her brow .

"Ehm…" he proudly smiled .

"Oh, okay . good luck, Robi . " She smiled . the math quiz ended a while ago . Guess it would be the artists' turn now .

"Mira… where have you been? I've been looking for you . the chess tournament is about to start in a minute . " Mira's homeroom teacher was obviously sweating . Guess she's been searching everywhere .

"Good luck to you as well . " Robi yelled at the retreating figure of the young lady .

After a few hours, the tournament ended . Now, the announcing of winner was next . Stacy was one of the parents who attended the said tournament . She was there to support her son, Robi .

Unfortunately, Robi didn't win the first place . He was only on the second place and that made him sad . But it was good that his mom was there to support him .

"Don't worry baby, no matter what happen, mom and dad is still proud of you . " Stacy uttered lovingly as she taps her son's shoulder .

Meanwhile, Miracle got the first place for the math quiz as well as the first place for the chess tournament . Now, her next journey is the national tournament .

But before the program ended, one of the staff's whispered something on the host's ears .

"Before we end the program, we would like to acknowledge the presence of our sponsors . " The host called five names and one by one, they went to the stage to receive a plaque of appreciation .

Mira was sitting at the second row, while waiting for her homeroom teacher who went to the comfort room . the little girl was actually itching to go home now . however, her mouth dropped and her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw a familiar face . the woman was smiling wide as she receives the plaque from the host .

"Mom?" she raised her brow . "What is mom doing here?"
