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

Chapter 409 The Boss Is Grumpy

The next day, Andrew's mood was still the same, very moody and grumpy. He seldom interacted nor talked to Alveena in the office as if he was intentionally avoiding her.

Alveena didn't understand why he was still upset. She already apologized for Brandon's action last night but she was still getting cold treatment from Andrew.

Alveena was sitting on her desk, her chin was placed over her hands while watching Andrew from a distance.

'What's wrong with him? It's not my control that creepy guy Brandon approached us last night. I was also mad at that guy... but why is he reacting like this? Did Brandon really offend him so much with those few words? But why?' Alveena was racking her brain so hard to figure out Andrew's behavior.

Whenever she would try to talk to Andrew and tease him, he would just suddenly bring up Brandon, telling her to stop bothering him and just look for Brandon, her fiancee.

If she hadn't known that he was naturally grumpy most of the time then she would think that he was jealous of Brandon. Of course, she was not sure if he would really feel jealous. She didn't want to expect.

p Alveena could only sigh deeply. Just yesterday Andrew was treating her well and now he was acting very cold towards her again.

When she could not stand it, Alveena decided to confront Andrew. She didn't like to be treated by him this way. She also felt bored not talking to Andrew for an entire morning. He was with her but she's missing him more because he was avoiding her.

She stood up and approached Andrew who was busy working on his laptop.

"Hey, can we talk?" Alveena mumbled, catching Andrew's attention. He lifted his head to gaze at her.

"Talk about what?" Andrew plainly said.

"Why are you mad at me? Why are you upset?" Alveena asked him, putting on a pitiful face. She looked like crying.

Andrew arched his eyebrow in amusement. "I'm not mad at you."

"You do!" She insisted, looking straight into his eyes. "You have been avoiding me this whole morning!"

Andrew fell silent after hearing that. He also didn't know why he was being moody today. All he knew was that he couldn't forget what he had seen last night. That Brandon guy just kissed Alveena before he left and he got upset with her for some unknown reason.

He thought she didn't want to marry Brandon but she let him kiss her last night. He was aware that this was Alveena's personal life and he should not care about these things. However, he couldn't help but be pissed whenever he would remember it.

Andrew was convincing himself that he was acting like this just because he hated that very conceited guy, Brandon.

Andrew breathed in deeply. "I'm not avoiding you. I'm just moody because of the pile of works in this branch," he lied.

"That's why I am here to help you but you keep on pushing me this morning. What's wrong with you?" Alveena didn't buy his excuse. She somehow knew that Andrew was upset about something.

Andrew closed his eyes and massaged his temples. He knew Alveena won't stop bugging him until she could get an answer from him. She was a very persistent girl. However, Andrew would not admit that he was upset because of Brandon and her.

"I'm sorry. I think I'm just tired and stressed because of works. I ended up venting it out on you," Andrew apologized for avoiding her and being harsh to her this morning.

Alveena's eyes lit up when she heard Andrew's apology. "Does it mean you are not angry with me anymore?"

Andrew frowned and asked, "Why did you think I was angry at you?"

Alveena decided to tease him. "Hmm, I thought you were jealous of Brandon!" Alveena declared shamelessly.

Andrew: "..."

Alveena smiled at him teasingly. Andrew looked at her with his glaring eyes. He was about to retort and defend himself when Alveena cut him off immediately.

"Haha, Big Boss, don't take it to the heart! I am just kidding!" she said jokingly but she actually meant it.

Andrew shook his head helplessly. Alveena would never stop teasing him. It seemed like it became her daily habit to tease and annoy him every day.

They were still talking when a staff knocked at the door. Andrew allowed the staff to enter. They were surprised to see her holding a bouquet of red roses.

"Miss Alveena, someone sent this bouquet for you!" The staff informed Alveena with her elated voice. She looked happier than Alveena who was the receiver of that bouquet of red roses.

"This is from who?" Alveena asked her curiously. The staff just shrugged her shoulders as she didn't know as well. Andrew just watched the two ladies silently.

"Maybe one of the investors? Hmm, just check the notes, Miss Alvee. Don't worry, I didn't take a peek at the notes," The staff said defensively.

Alveena just nodded her head as she accepted the flower. Soon, the staff said goodbye to them and came out of Andrew's office.

There was a moment of awkward silence when the two of them were left alone inside the office. Andrew brought his attention back to his laptop, pretending he was busy. However, deep inside he was also curious who was the person who sent flowers to Alveena.

Alveena was still standing near his table when she checked the notes. She smacked her forehead after reading the note.

[ To My Beautiful Fiancee, though roses are beautiful, in my eyes you are still the most beautiful flower. From your Future Husband, Brandon ]

Alveena's face contorted as she cringed because of his cheesiness. "Damn! What a corny guy!"

Andrew simply took a glance at Alveena when he heard her complaints. 'Don't tell me that bouquet was sent by that conceited man, Brandon?'

Andrew pursed his lips, his eyebrows locked together as he guessed it right. He managed to see what's written on the notes without Alveena's knowing. He saw Brandon's name.

"Alveena, get back to work now!" He suddenly blurted out in a loud voice, shocking Alveena.

"Aye, Boss!" Alveena promptly responded as she dashed back to her desk.

Andrew gave her a lot of tasks that day, making her feel tired and exhausted. Alveena felt like Andrew was punishing her for something she didn't know.
