CEO's Secret Husband
|16|. His First Love is Not Human

The sound of ceramic shards came out as Callie closed the door.

Callie let out a heavy sigh while stroking her chest, "Haa, it's really not good for the heart"

Suddenly the cell phone in his hand was shaking. Callie saw that there was a message notification from Maribel. Callie opened it.

[Callie, please pick me up now]

A second later another order immediately appeared. Maribel just shared its location.

Callie frowned and typed in a reply.

[Okay ma'am, I'll be there soon]

......................

Callie thought she had the wrong address at first. But once confirmed once again it turned out to be true. Looking at the large castle building whose appearance is old enough unkempt. He frowned in surprise, "It should be right here. But where's Miss Maribel?"

He looked towards the copper fence that was towering in front of him. It had been filled with wild grasses and vines. While the spacious yard is full of a lot of dry leaves.

Taking out her phone, she called Maribel.

"Hello ma'am, I'm already here. In front of the old castle that seemed to be unkempt. Have I come at the correct address?"

"Yes you're right. I'm going out now"

Maribel looked up, should she tell the man first before coming out?

"Ah, I think I'll explain later"

Maribel immediately left the castle and there was Callie waiting for him.

He got in the car, sat in the back seat. Maribel told Callie, "I'm hungry. We stopped by for a while at the nearest restaurant"

"Good ma'am"

They also stopped by one of the eating places located on the side of the road. Maribel deliberately took a seat outside. He wanted to eat while watching the road and the people passing by.

After ordering, Maribel noticed Callie's gaze towards her which was filled with question marks and confusion.

Callie clamped her pair of eyebrows in surprise, noticing Maribel's appearance. Ordinary house t-shirts and loose pants are zebra leather. Did he just spend the night in the old castle? Why not bring a change of clothes?

Answering her astonishment, Maribel immediately explained, "So how can I be like this? The story's like..."

Maribel told Callie everything. Starting from him came to the villa, was hit by a snake bite and was helped by a handsome man. Then about a night in the villa, find a foreign courier who seems to come to harm him and the last action to escape from the perverted driver who took him to the old castle to spend a full night there without the permission of the host.

Callie looked at Maribel concerned, "Do you know who planned the crime for you, ma'am?"

"Of course"

It must be his aunt or perhaps his uncle. The couple conspired with each other to end their lives.

"Then why don't you go report?"

"Do I have any proof?"

Callie.

The waiter came to bring the order.

A plate of omelette, salad and a glass of warm milk were arranged on the table. Last night Maribel did not consume anything and thought such breakfast was lacking. He immediately said to the waiter, "I want an extra plate of omelette with tomato slices on it"

Callie who heard it in a barrel.

Maribel turned her gaze towards Callie, "You didn't order?"

"No Ma'am"

Maribel nodded and said to the waiter, "Please cold cappucino one for him" she said, raising her index finger.

Callie noticed a small red spot on the tip of Maribel's index finger. It looked like a scar.

"There's more, ma'am?"

The waiter finished taking notes and left.

"What's wrong with your index finger, ma'am?" After the waiter's departure, Callie immediately asked.

Maribel gasped, "Ah, you mean this?" Maribel touched her index finger, fingered the scar where Aldrich had previously been biting.

Callie nodded.

"Ah, it's nothing. Looks like I've accidentally hurt her" Maribel couldn't possibly tell the truth, right? He may die for leaking secrets, however he has made a blood covenant.

"Do I need to buy a plaster?"

Maribel shook his head quickly, "No need. It's just a small wound"

"Ah, fine then"

Before eating, Maribel stared at the wound on her index finger. There was a sense of disbelief in his heart, but looking at the scar and imagining Aldrich's sharp fang essence while stuck there, everything felt so real.

'Haa, hard to believe. It turns out my first love wasn't human'

Maribel grabbed a plate of omelette, ate it with a large cut, without losing her elegance when she bribed it into her mouth. Then he took out a bowl of salad and another plate of omelette that had just come.

While Callie sat watching him eat with a staggering face while drinking a cold cappucino that Maribel deliberately ordered for him.

Maribel is full and now she has enough energy to company.

"But before that you have to take me to the villa. I want to take my favorite red guy there.

It was none other than his favorite expensive sports car.

And also make him change his clothes. Because there's no way he's going to the company with this kind of outfit, is it?

......................

Aldrich went down the stairs and saw the quiet downstairs. There was no sound of any activity there. It made him frown.

"Maddie"

There's no answer.

"Where's Maddie?"

There is absolutely no lawfulness.

Aldrich's pair of eyebrows linked, "Where is he?"

He ran quickly towards the kitchen, it was empty. Darting into the back garden, there were only unkempt dead plants and dried leaves that brimmed.

"Not cleaned yet?" He thought she wasn't inside because she was busy cleaning the back garden.

But there was no sign of her existence at all.

"Maddie" Aldrich went back inside and shouted the maid's name.

But what greeted him was empty air.

"Haa, that girl really..."

It had even just been his first day, but he had already disappeared somewhere.

In addition, Maribel was busy taking care of many things in the company. He checked several important assets, financial records and transactions. After studying it one by one, he can draw the conclusion that the company's condition so far is quite stable.

Only he got something stuck.

"So far who's been managing the company's finances?" Maribel placed the stack of freshly read paper on the table, his eyes turning towards Callie who was standing in front of him.

"Mr Gavin, your uncle Ma'am"

Maribel tapped her index finger on the table, apparently thinking of something, "Ah, so that's it"

Maribel took one of the maps and studied the contents once again, "I see the data on the sale of furniture made from wood has decreased by several percent in recent years. Though from the data of previous years, it continues to increase or at least unstable at the profit figure of eighty percent. But this year it dropped to fifty-six percent. I kept thinking this was a little bit of a blow to my heart. What say?"
