The Great CEO's Wife Is A Gangster Chapter 259

He woke up excitingly . Ah, its Monday! He will be able to see the woman today and that lighten him up .

However, it's already 9am and still no beautiful woman stepped on his doorstep . Eh? Where is she?

Then after few more minutes, his phone beep and as soon as he saw the sender, he picked his phone and read what was written .

"Sorry Sir, I'll be late for a few more minutes . "

Eh? Late? she was never late before and procrastination was never a part of her routine . Something must have happened . Is it an emergency? Is she sick? or did something bad happened to Mira? Now his anxiety leveled up .

He waited for another 10 minutes but when he couldn't wait anymore, he called the woman .

"Where are you?" he austerely asked .

"I'm sorry Mr . Williams, but I'm almost there . in fact, I'm at the hotel's premises already . " The man could hear her heavy breaths . Is she running? Perhaps .

After a few more minutes, a woman drenched in sweat came into view .

"What happened?" he stood up to meet the woman's eyes . dang! Alex could feel the icy atmosphere . But it was her fault for not informing him early .

"I'm sorry, it's just that I needed to settle something at my daughter's school . " she explained hesitantly .

Ethan wanted to asked more, however, the woman seemed perplexed and tired . Might as well let her rest for a while .

"Rest . " He turned around and went back to his study table . "After you rest, sort these doc.u.ments for me . I need them by three in the afternoon . "

"I can do it now . " she insisted . She needs to finish all her work so she could ask for an under time today .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
She was about to get the doc.u.ments from his hands but Ethan glared at her . "I told you to rest for a while, I don't think you'll be able to concentrate right now . "

"I can manage… please . " She pleaded . Ethan stared at her entreating eyes . why is she in a rush? He thought .

"Miss Miran, is there's a problem?" he immediately asked then he saw how the woman lowered her head .

"I-I… Sir, I was thinking if I could do under time today…" she hesitantly voiced .

"Miss Miran, you do know that you came late today, right? and now you're asking for under time?"

"I know it's unreasonable… it's just that… my child… needs me . " she was breaking .

Ethan raised his brow . Is Mira sick?

"Alex, would you mind telling me what's happening so I would understand?" he softens .

"I…I was late because I had to settle some things at her school . Also, I promised to fetch her personally today . " she faked a smile .

Ethan was in deep thought for a few minutes then he looked at the distressed woman .

"Alex, why don't you just bring her here?" he suggested .

"But Sir… . " the woman was a bit surprise at her boss' kind preposition .

"I totally understand your situation, but you also have to understand that you have a work that only you can do . you don't have an a.s.sistant to take your job either . So the least thing I could do is to allow you to bring your daughter with you while you come to work . "

It was against their work ethics but Ethan is willing to bend his company's rules just to have an excuse to see his daughter . Meanwhile, Alex was thinking deeply . Will she consider his suggestion? But if she thinks about it, it'll be on her advantage since she'll be seeing her daughter more often . However, won't she become a distraction to her and Ethan while they work?

"But she might get in the way while you're working . Beside, she's a bit stubborn and sometimes talks a lot . " She explained .

"I won't mind . but I don't think she'll bother us . Your daughter seems smart; I think she'll understand if you discuss some conditions to her . " he smiled .

"But…"

"I'll tell max to fetch her later . Just give me her time-out and the address . " He spoke with finality .

Alex heaved a sigh . She doesn't know why she's getting a favor from the CEO but somehow she's at ease knowing that she will be able to watch her daughter while working .

Unknown to her, Ethan had orchestrated everything in his mind . yes, he wanted to be with them, watch over them and to get to know his daughter further . After instructing Max, he also told him to shop for some school supplies and toys so Mira could play while her mother works . As soon as he was done giving max some directions, he went back to his work wearing a smirk .

Alex, who was looking at him raised her brow . seems like the man is into something but she couldn't figure what was running in his mind .

"Who are you?" the little kid asked unsmilingly when she saw a man dressed in black suit while standing in front of a beautiful black car . The teacher told her that someone is waiting for her outside but didn't tell who it was . She was actually hoping to see her mom .

Her cla.s.smates kept on glancing at her then to the man . the handsome young man and his expensive car had caught the people's attention . Then rumors started to spread .

"Her mother seems to have found a wealthy man . " Mira could hear some words everywhere .

"Young miss, unfortunately your mother couldn't make it so she sent me to get you . "

"We don't have a driver and my mom can't afford to hire someone like you just to fetch me . " She icily responded .

"But her boss does . " Max was just smiling all throughout their conversation . Of course, he can't blame the little kid if she became suspicious all of a sudden .

Mira seemed to have thought for a while and after much consideration, she then softens up . Max opened the door to the backseat and as soon as the child settled in, he went to the driver's seat and drove off .

Some children and their parents were left dumbfounded . that car is definitely worth not just a million but more! ah, lucky child . They thought .

The little kid was enjoying the outside view and riding the beautiful black car makes her feel like a princess . She was still in doubt earlier but the words she was hearing about her mom made her feel a little edgy so she decided to kill them with jealousy instead .

"Where are we going?" The little kid asked when she suddenly noticed that they've been driving for less than 20 minutes . "Where's my mom?"

"We'll get to your mom later . As for today, I was told to buy you some stuffs that you might play with while your in there . "

"Toys?!" the little kid excitingly exclaimed .

"Yes…Anything you want dear . "

"Really?" ah, she wanted to jump in excitement . she's been wanting to have toys just like her cla.s.smates but her mom couldn't afford a few therefore she never bothered to ask her mother .

The little kid's eyes shone in amazement but her jaw dropped while standing in front of the toy store . unknown to her, Max had his phone's video on and Ethan was watching her priceless reaction . He smiled as he sent a message to Max .

"Take everything she wanted . "

After an hour of rummaging the store, the little kid satisfyingly gloat at the stuffs she took . Aside from toys, she also took some school materials which her mother can't afford to buy for her . That way, her cla.s.smates will surely be envious of what she had . Furthermore, the toys that she has is enough to brag about, hoping that it will lessen their bully .

As soon as the child was done shopping, Max used Ethan's black card to pay for Mira's stuffs . Ah, the joy and amazement from her eyes, its mesmerizing and satisfying .

After a few more minutes, they have arrived at the hotel suite and went straight to Ethan's office .

''Mom!'' The little kid run to hug her .

''Sweetheart!'' She embraced the smiling kid . ''How's my baby?''

''Mom! Look! I got some awesome stuffs!'' The little kid exclaimed in excitement . Alex suddenly stared at the bags that max was bringing inside .

''What are those?'' Alex creased her brow . ''Whose toys are those?''

Mira suddenly lifted her brow in question . ''They are mine, mom . . . I thought this was your idea?''

''Eh?'' The woman was stunned . ''I didn't know any about that!'' She exclaimed .

Then they stared at each other with face filled with puzzlement . Wait . . . looks like Alex had forgotten someone . . . did he possibly cause all this? Then slowly, both the mother and daughter laid their eyes on the man who was silently reading some doc.u.ments on his study table . He was grinning from ear to ear .

But why did he do it? Why is he being nice to her and her daughter? Is it really . . . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

She chose to shrug off her thoughts . No! It's way too impossible!

She was lost on her own thoughts that she didn't notice Mira approached her superior .

''Hey!'' Mira called out so Ethan lifted his head to meet the young child's eyes . '' Did you pay for all those?'' She pointed out the bags on the couch using her mouth . Her arms were folded like an adult .

''What if I did? Are you going to return them?'' He leaned on his chair mimicking the child's hand gesture .

The young girl looked at him sternly, Ethan did as well . A face-off?

In Alex eyes, the two were glaring at each other and seems like a war was about to spring anytime soon . Fudge! Why did she even agree to bring her stubborn and hardheaded daughter at work? Ah! She smells trouble!
