The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 382 Clifford's Proposal

Alveena took her lunch at the Company Cafeteria together with Andrew's secretary, Lodia.

Andrew and the other higher-ups were still having a meeting in the conference hall. They just ordered food to deliver in the hall for their lunch.

Alveena and Lodia just finished their lunch when Alveena received a message from her friend, Selena.

~ Message ~

[ Selena: Sissy, I am here outside the building of Heavenly Star Enterprise. Where are you? Are you free? Come and see me. ]

They were about to head back to the Finance Office when Alveena read Selena's message.

Alveena stopped on her track and immediately furrowed her eyebrows. 'How did she know that I was here?' Alveena pondered at that thought.

Then she turned to Lodia. "Lodia, you go back first. I'm just meeting my friend outside. I will follow you after."

Lodia just nodded at her before leaving her. Alveena went out to see Selena. However, to her surprise, the person waiting for her outside was not Selena, but her brother Clifford.

"Brother? What are you doing here? Where's Selena?" Alveena asked him in disbelief.

Clifford just gave her a smug smile as a response.

After a few seconds, she realized that Clifford tricked her by using Selena. She cursed inwardly. She wondered what his brother did in order to convince Selena to help him deceive her.

? Well, her brother had so many ways to do that so she should not be surprised anymore. In the end, he finally found where she was hiding.

'Damn! Is he here to bring me back home? Should I run now and escape?' Alveena thought to herself, peering her eyes at her surroundings as she was preparing to run away from her brother.

As if Clifford had read her mind, he promptly warned Alveena.

"Don't you dare try and run away from me now, Alveena! My men are here. They can easily drag you. Just come with me. Let's talk."

When Clifford said that Alveena knew that he was not bluffing. Now she realized the reason why for the past few days she felt like someone was watching and following her.

It turned out her brother's men were already able to trace her and find her whereabouts.

Alveena could only sigh in frustration before following her brother going to his car. They stepped in the backseat. Dexter was the one sitting at the front driver's seat.

Alveena thought Clifford would bring her home but Dexter didn't start the car. They just remained inside the car, sitting.

She was about to ask him when Clifford suddenly had spoken to her.

"I will not beat around the bush. I just came here to talk to you. So don't worry, I will not force you to come home."

Alveena raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. She glanced at her brother suspiciously. 'What is he up to?'

"I am here to let you know that even though you ran away from home, Mom and Dad still will not change their mind about setting you up with Uncle Leon's youngest son."

Alveena rolled her eyes skyward. "Come on, brother. I don't think that's the only reason why you are here. What do you want from me?"

Clifford's lips twitched into a sly smile. Alveena was quick to notice that he had another agenda. She's smart.

"I have a proposal for you. Since Mom and Dad will not change their mind, I can help you with that. But in one condition, you have to follow my order." Clifford stated to her, not hiding his ill-motives.

Alveena had a bad feeling about this but she wanted to hear him out before making a decision.

She crossed her arms over her chest, lifting an eyebrow. "Why do you think I will agree with you? I can convince Mom and Dad about me choosing my own future husband."

Clifford just laughed at her dryly. "Well, you are aware that our parents are indebted to Uncle Leon. They promised him before that if he had one request then our parents would certainly fulfill it."

"So what? How is it related to me?" Alveena couldn't hide her annoyance.

She hated it when her brother was looking at her like this. His eyes told her he was enjoying her misery right now. She felt like he was about to take advantage of the situation she was in.

"Just in case you didn't know, my dear sister… Brandon took a fancy on you after seeing your pictures. He likes you and he is willing to marry you. He's not against this arranged marriage proposal our parents and Uncle Leon are cooking."

Alveena was shocked after hearing that. She couldn't help but cringe just thinking about the arranged marriage her brother was talking about.

"No! No! I will not allow it! I don't want to marry anyone!" Alveena suddenly burst out. Her face contorted as her expression darkened.

She wanted to rip that smug smile off his face. "Damn you! Brother! This is your fault!"

Alveena raised her hands to punch Clifford's chest but before she could hit him, he already caught her arms, thus stopping her.

"Calm down. I told you already. I have a proposal for you. Just do what I want and I will help you with this concern of you."

Alveena narrowed her eyes at him. "You jerk! Why do I need to follow your order before you can help me?! Can't you just help me willingly? I am your sister, you moron!"

Dexter who was just listening in the driver's seat tried his best to hold his laughter. Alveena just called her brother 'jerk' and 'moron'.

Clifford didn't like Alveena calling him 'names' like that. The smug smile on his face disappeared. It was replaced by a cold and frightening glare that could send shivers through Alveena's spine.

Alveena suddenly shrunk on her seat upon seeing her brother's deathly look. He was losing his patience as he was now pissed by her.

Alveena sighed in defeat. "Alright! Alright! What do you want in exchange?! Just tell me."

Clifford's frightening aura was reduced when he heard that. Finally, his stubborn sister was giving in.

"Since you are already working here at Heavenly Star Enterprise as a personal assistant of the Finance Director, why don't you become my spy? Tell me everything going on in the company, especially the most significant one. Be my eyes and ears." Clifford said to her with a very serious look on his face.

Alveena was dumbfounded after hearing that. 'He knew that I am working here as PA. Damn. My brother is so scary! He can find out everything.'

After she recovered from the shock, a deep frown appeared on her lovely face.

"Why do you want me to do that?" Alveena asked him in confusion.

"Besides, I am just working here temporarily because I ran away from home. I planned to go back soon if you didn't tell me this," Alveena added.

"Oh, my dear sister. You don't know… this company is owned by my mortal enemy, Tristan Davis. And you are working under his brother, Andrew Davis. So how can I let go of this opportunity?"

Alveena's eyes widened in surprise. Clifford was giving her one shock after another.

'So the Tristan whom my brother considers as his mortal enemy is the same Tristan whom I met… the CEO of Heavenly Star… the brother of Andrew. I didn't know that Tristan Davis was the same guy who ruined my brother's relationship with his fiancee. I only knew his name as Tristan. Damn! what a small world is this?'
