Bad, bad man!
Today, like yesterday, the CEO wanted to drive home alone. Lucas stood on a side and watched in silence, as the big boss drove out of the underground parking lot.
The man was driving him insane. No sooner than later, he might end up being a patient in a psychiatric hospital. ‘Cos…
The poor personal assistant let out a weary sigh and began to drag his wobbly legs back into the company. He was extremely tired, but he had some unfinished business to deal with.

No matter how Shawn tried to push that one thought aside, it just wouldn’t go away. That girl’s words… they kept ringing in his head like a pendulum clock.
As he drove into the mansion, he gradually stopped the car a few feet away from the main door. His eyes swept over the screen as he checked for the time-the girl should be asleep by now.
The CEO wished for her not to be home yet so he could lash out at her. Besides, she was the reason he was in a bitter mood-taking out all his anger on her would be justifiable.
Shawn slid out of the driver’s seat as a guard had already opened the car door for him. He then took long strides inside the big house.
The maids sank in curtsy as soon as they sighted him.
‘It’s way too silent here.’ Ignoring their greetings, Shawn’s brows furrowed instead.
‘Isn’t she back yet?’ He took large furious strides up the staircase.
He’d see for himself whether she was or wasn’t yet back from school. If she wasn’t, hell would be let loose.
He’d take out all of his anger on her. She had to take the responsibility for ruining his mood for over twenty four hours.
As soon as Shawn reached the front of Mia’s room, without knocking on the door, he turned the doorknob and swiftly walked into the girl’s room.
A few seconds later, he ran into a small, soft, rosy thing. It felt warm and soothing.
His eyes trailed down and met another pair-honey brown-of eyes.
Alas! It wasn’t a thing. It was a girl-the girl. He’d ran into her, and her body was already lowering towards the floor.
He’d barged in so suddenly and ran directly into her.
Mia had heard a low roaring sound of a car and was just on her way to welcome the demigod. But who knew…? Just as she was about to get to the door, it flung open.
She was so shocked, she immediately lost balance as soon as Shawn’s body came in contact with hers.
Momentarily, Shawn reached out his hand and quickly wrapped it around her waist; he was fast enough, he caught her before her body could hit the cold floor.
Shawn’s body hunched over Mia, and they remained in this position for several seconds. The CEO took his time to take in the features of the girl’s face as their faces were only a few inches apart.
Her face looked like it was carved out of a beautiful porcelain. She looked so innocent… and sweet. Her breath feathered his face softly… Her lips, plump. Her eyes, brown and intriguing. Her nose-
Shawn snapped out of his reverie and quickly recovered himself. There was nothing sweet and innocent about this one. She was calculative and manipulative.
Getting his emotions together, he released his grip on the girl at once and she immediately went crashing on the floor.
“Ahhh-ahhhh.” Mia writhed in pain as soon as her small ass hit the solid floor.
Gritting his teeth, Shawn turned around in an instant. Ignoring her cries, he walked out of the room.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Hot tears strolled down Mia’s face as she rubbed her bum with her hand.
‘Bad, bad man!’
Several minutes later, she struggled to her feet and helped herself to the bed.
That demigod was no good at all.
‘Bad.’ She muttered incoherently, sniffling as she did.
He was a bad man. Why did he catch her when he was simply going to release her a few seconds later? To gladly watch her fall?
And to think that she fell even harder!
‘Heartless!’
As soon as Shawn stepped into his room, he shut the door with a loud bang. He began to strip off his clothes, and he headed to the bathroom afterwards. He needed to have a cold bath.
As he stood under the shower, the CEO just couldn’t stop wondering why that measly girl’s words were having so much effect on him.
Why?
After he was done, he decided to get those thoughts out of his mind. The girl wasn’t worthy of putting him in that kind of situation. Good riddance!
***
The next day.
Very early in the morning, the couple separately went down for breakfast. Mia was at the dining table before Shawn.
After having breakfast in silence, they both went their separate ways as usual. Mia smiled and waved at Shawn who was sitting comfortably in the backseat of a Ferrari.
He didn’t do as little as to spare her a glance, talk more of actually responding to her goodbye greeting. But Mia didn’t mind at all.
Surprisingly, ever since she started living with the cold demigod, she’d begun to feel comfortable with her life. In fact, happiness was starting to peek in.
No worries… not much drama… She was living her life normally.
But isn’t it too early for her to jump into that conclusion?
After the luxurious car was completely out of sight, Mia happily skipped out of the mansion. As soon as she stepped outside Magnificent, she hailed a taxi.
Last night, before going to bed, she applied the balm given to her by Madam Susan. So, today, she wasn’t feeling any pain on her bum.
She was in such a good mood.
When Mia arrived at school, Marthat was already eagerly waiting for her in front of the school gates. This time around, she wasn’t alone. She was with Max.
Mia frowned instinctively. She paid the cab man and started to walk towards the two students.
Shockingly, seeing Martha and Max together didn’t cause any sadness in her at all. Rather, what she felt was anger. Ang-
“Mia!” Martha’s melodious voice filled Mia’s ears and she immediately pushed her thoughts aside.
She grinned at the girl as she went and stood in front of the couple. “Good morning.”
“So what if it’s a bad morning instead?” Max cut in agitatedly. “Martha said you haven’t been sleeping in the dorm for the past two nights, why? Where have you been sleeping?”
Mia was taken aback by the sudden outburst.
Even Martha was extremely shocked.
