CEO's Secret Husband
|14|. Must Pull Hard Lines

"Grow your hand out"

Not like that where Maribel was nervous enough to do it. Now he extended his hand to the man with a hint of hesitation, "What are you trying to do?"

Aldrich's eyes flashed coldly and his thin lips smirked, "Be careful what I'm trying to do" As he spoke, his alluring black eyes were covered in a thick red glow.

Maribel was almost aghast at her seat, "Your eyes.."

Aldrich smiled with his lips bent, "What's wrong with my eyes?"

Just then he opened his mouth and his blunt fangs turned sharp. It was sticking high up and so prominent just like the appearance of the fangs that the dracula or vampire showed.

Maribel's breath immediately stuck in the throat when he saw it.

Aldrich revealed a little of the girl's sleeve and her smooth white wrist was revealed. Aldrich bent down and his fangs stuck gently against the surface of the pure white skin.

He only bit her a little, letting the girl feel the sharpness of her fangs. Without letting his crazed lust tear up the flesh and sip its sweet blood.

Like that he let go of his bite, asking, "You feel it?" His eyes were fixed right towards the girl who was now petrified on the spot.

Maribel who was immersed in the daydream, involuntarily muttered, "No. Am I dreaming?"

Hearing that, Aldrich snorted in annoyance. He bit the girl a little harder. Make him realize whether it was a dream or not.

"Akhs"

"illness?"

Maribel nodded slowly.

"Do you think this is a dream or not?"

"Not a dream"

Aldrich smiled with satisfaction. He gently rubbed the clear skin which now had a little print from his sharp fang mark. He pulled the girl's sleeve, closed it back and let go of her hand.

"But if you're a real vampire, how come you don't get burned in the sun?"

"Because I'm mixed"

"Oh, so because of that" Maribel recalled, the man had just said that he was human but not completely human. Because the rest of him is a vampire.

"How can you be a half-human vampire? Is that because your mother married a vampire? Or vice versa?"

Aldrich stared coldly, "As a servant, you don't have to ask me about the history of my life"

Maribel was stunned, 'Ah, I almost forgot my current status'

"For details of your work I'll tell you later. Now you can do whatever you can do first"

Maribel nodded in understanding.

"I'm Aldrich. For the next you can call me Mr. Aldrich. Then how should I call you?"

"I'm Ma—" Maribel almost said her name. Even if the man is a vampire and unlikely to know his identity. But just in case, it's good that he used a pseudonym for the time being.

"Ma what?"

"Maddie" said Maribel quickly.

Aldrich nodded. Then he got up and went upstairs.

Maribel sighed, "Haa, what a surprise"

"Ah, so his name is Aldrich yaa" Unknowingly his heart smiled. Maribel could feel an incredible vibe in her heart and it was completely new.

Since she was taken care of by her aunt. He no longer went to school outside. It was changed to home schooling and like that he no longer had any socialization with the outside world. That's why he doesn't have any experience with monkey love and Aldrich...

Besides love at first sight, she is also her first love.

Drtts..

Maribel found her phone vibrating and saw the name written on the screen she immediately picked it up.

"Hello Ma'am. Where are you now?" Callie's anxious voice came from across.

"I'm.." Maribel is confused between telling the truth or lying.

"Your mom just announced your position as CEO. If you don't come in today, what will people in the company say about you?"

Maribel bit her lower lip, glancing up the stairs ensuring Aldrich wasn't there.

"I understand. But there's something I have to take care of before. That's why I'm probably gonna be late"

"Mom, I think as important as any of your affairs, the option to be late is also not right. However you are the new leader of the company, all focus will be on you. What happens if your undisciplined rumors spread. Your enemies can take advantage of the situation to worsen your performance"

Maribel sneered at her temple, she had not expected to have such a chatty secretary.

"I understand. Thank you for worrying about me" He's used to being a polite person.

Callie across there looked to be sighing. It's weird Maribel said it came late. After all the woman would definitely not be so careless for her first day as the CEO of the company.

"Is there something going on? If there is, then you should tell me. I am your secretary anyway"

Women's instincts are always sharp. It would be hard if he lied. Maribel admitted, "Yes, something has happened. For more details I'll let you know later"

"Good ma'am, and for what happened yesterday I have written it in the form of a report and sent it to your email last night"

"Yes, I'll see it later"

"That's all I can report. For the time being, I still can't manage your schedule, because the people in your company are still completely siding with your aunt"

Maribel's heart turned cold. His aunt must have thought of him as a jewel that only knew to be beautiful in a box, so that he could be arbitrary like that.

"It looks like I'll have to draw a hard line from now on"

"Yes you should"

Like that call's over.

At Callie's company, feel the oppression of those around her. They consider it a running joke instead of the CEO's personal secretary they should respect.

Callie let out a heavy sigh, pushed open the door and entered. Inside, Breta sat haughtily in her chair.

Folding both his hands on the table, he glanced at Callie with a mocking look.

"So, she's not here yet?"

Callie clenched her mouth tightly, reluctant to speak.

Breta gave a cold snort in the face of her attitude, "The first day she served as CEO was not knowing the word discipline, how can she lead this big company? Does he think this is where rich young lady seems to be able to play around and relax"

Callie glanced at Breta, but not a word came out of her mouth.

Breta doesn't want to extend her nagging anymore. He was thinking of just avenging the arrogant secretary's treatment which he had dared to bully his person.
