CEO's Secret Husband
|11|. Like the Life and Death Agreement

Maribel had been circling, but never found a bathroom. So many doors, but almost all locked. Until he finds the kitchen and walks to the sink of the dishwasher.

He could only use that place to wash his face, clean both corners of his eyes and brush his teeth with his fingers.

No toothbrush, but at least he should clean his mouth.

After gargling, he found someone coming to pat him on the shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

The deg!

Maribel slightly jerked. He hastily washed his hands and turned around.

His eyes met with a sharp looking look at the man. Maribel squeezed her fingers, smiling nervously, "That's.I just washed my face"

Aldrich knitted his pair of brows, looked at the girl deeply and his tightly related lips did not say a word.

Maribel couldn't help but tense up with her attitude that way.

'Come on, say something!'

'Don't look at me that way'

His inner. His heart was beating somewhat erratically.

"You'll work from today"

Maribel widened her eyes in surprise, "W-what? B-work?"

Aldrich shrugged his shoulders, speaking, "Yes. Then what else? Didn't you come here to work in my castle?"

Maribel subconsciously swallowed her saliva, 'It seems, she has misunderstood something'

"That's actually..."

"No need for you to explain" Aldrich raised his hand, "I understand"

Maribel's pair of eyes flickered in confusion.

'understand?'

'What does he understand?'

Aldrich cleared his throat, crossed his hands behind his back, continuing his sentence, "I understand why you just entered my residence without permission. No one listens to the sound of the bell that you press repeatedly and you are a girl, it is not safe for you to stay outside. So..."

"..." - ".Maribel bit her lip. His eyes were a bit teary, 'He's the understanding type'

"For this time I will understand" Aldrich said later.

Maribel smiled, "Thank you very much"

Aldrich cleared his throat, waving his hand, "Follow me to the living room"

"En" Maribel nodded, a smile still filling her beautiful clear brown eyes.

Facing that, Aldrich was slightly stung. He could feel the heat in his red ears.

Quickly Aldrich rubbed his ears and walked forward first. Maribel's behind, keep following him.

In the living room, Aldrich had Maribel sit on a long sofa and he went to sit on a single sofa.

Folding his hands together in front of his chest, his eyes looked at the girl in front of him with a serious look, "Before working on me, you must make a secret agreement"

Maribel was stunned, 'Ah, I still haven't cleared up her misunderstanding'

"Sorry, it's actually me—"

"I cannot say the content of the covenant now. This is the main agreement that is confidential and very confidential" said Aldrich with emphasis, "Because as I said earlier, this is a 'secret agreement'. So if you're in doubt, you can choose to leave now"

Maribel blinked her eyes. For a moment he forgot about the misunderstanding that had not been cleared up and began to take an interest in...

"Confidential?"

"En"

He remembered his first meeting with his helper. The man may look thin and indifferent. But her personality was sincere enough to help and just like that, she had fallen for him at first sight.

Maribel looked at the man who seemed to be still waiting for him to think.

From the looks of it, he's a typical cuckoo guy about romance. It was not cheap to smile at the girls and only tau frowned with his cold gaze. His life is only about him, his satisfaction and his pleasure. Not willing to take the dizzy to take care of anything else taking care of someone by his side. Obviously he's the type of rich young man who only knows self-worth.

Overall, he's not the approachable type of guy. The temptation of a naughty beauty would not ensnare him so easily. The weak white lotus, would not be enough to touch his steel-hardened defensive line.

There might only be one way to destroy the barrier wall he built.

Timing.

Maribel hooked her lips in a smile, 'It seems like I need a lot of time to approach her'

'What..if I take advantage of this opportunity?'

Because in addition to time, he also needs...

Distances.

Working as a servant in his home. Then he would have plenty of time and distance close enough to approach her slowly in the future.

'Like that, I'll have plenty of chances to conquer it in the future'

Pengulum her lips in a smile, Maribel looked at the man in front of her full of secret pleasure in her heart, "Alright, just do as you want"

Aldrich looked at the girl, sharpening his gaze, "You sure?"

"En"

"What if this deal's gonna hurt you?" Aldrich wondered where the girl's faith came from.

Normally, people will tend to be careful if faced with the situation and choose not to take risks by refusing the job offered.

"Hope to think about it again, after the agreement is done. There's no time for you to regret it"

Maribel kept a confident smile, saying, "I'm sure I won't regret it"

"Why?"

"Yes, why else? Because you're a good man. So I'm sure, as a superior, you won't make a deal that will hurt his subordinates"

Aldrich smiled funnyly, "Where did you see me so well?"

Maribel smiled meaningfully, "However you helped me yesterday. So I thought if you were a bad guy, you wouldn't do it"

Aldrich's lips twitched. He almost laughed at how innocent and naive the human girl in front of him was.

"Well if you think so"

Aldrich slightly advanced forward from his sitting position. Her alluring black eyes always made Maribel's heart beat hard every time it looked at her.

"First of all, you have to cut your finger first to make this deal"

Maribel's brown eyes grew startled, "What? Injured finger?"

'Why should I hurt my finger?'

Aldrich nodded casually, "Yes. Because I need your blood to make this pact"

Maribel widened his eyes, "Need blood?"

Is it possible that the man in front of him is a follower of one of a cult? In any case it takes blood to make the covenant...

"It's not what you think it is" Aldrich had clearly read his mind, "It's just how technically the agreement is. It's called a blood covenant, but its cliche is like a life and death covenant"

Maribel took a sip of her saliva, she could not help but feel goosebumps and found her hair standing and cold sweat lining her temples.

"H-live and die?"

"Yes. Simply put, if you break this agreement, then you will die. Instead, if you don't break it, then you'll be fine"

Maribel squeezed her hand which pressed against the sofa. He was about to get up, and forget about his desire to get close to the man. But on the other hand, his desire to have good looks was so.
