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

~ At Heavenly Star Enterprise Branch Overseas ~

Andrew and Alveena were not yet done fixing the issue regarding the investors. They still had to talk to the other three investors.

They were currently in the office when Andrew received a call from home. It was Tristan. Alveena excused herself as she would make coffee for both of them.

Andrew: "Hello, Bro? I heard that you already resolved our problem in the other branch. Are you back to the City of Empire now?"

Tristan: "Yes, I'm back. Sorry, I was not able to tell you personally. Things became hectic here on my part."

Andrew: "Oh, I understand. I know you will become busy with the big event of the  Centennial Year Celebration of the City of Empire. So why did you call me now? Perhaps, do you miss me?"

Andrew tried to tease his brother. The two of them were now comfortable talking to each other, teasing and cracking some jokes.

Tristan let out a soft chuckle because of Andrew's last remarks. Who would have thought that the two of them were capable of exchanging conversation like this?

They had been distant from one another for long. Now, it seemed that they were catching up for those years.

Tristan: "Missing my brother? Hmm, let's say a yes for now, or else, someone here might get upset."

Now, it was Andrew's turn to laugh.

Andrew: "But kidding aside brother, why did you call me today? Do you have an important update to tell?"

Tristan: "Yes, there is."

Andrew: "What is it?"

Tristan: "You are going to be an Uncle now! My wife is pregnant!"

Andrew: "Really?!! Wow, congratulations, brother!"

Tristan: "Thanks, Bro. So make sure to come home soon. Let's celebrate together!"

Andrew felt glad that Tristan wanted to celebrate with him. He even told him this good news personally.

Andrew: "Sure, bro. Don't worry, we will fix the problem here very soon."

After saying that, there was a moment of silence from the other line. Tristan suddenly fell silent as he recalled Hannah's action.

He was still conflicted about whether to tell Andrew or not.

Andrew: "Bro? Are you still there? Do you have something more to say to me?"

Andrew heard Tristan sighing deeply before answering him.

Tristan: "Nothing more, Bro. Just take care and come home soon!"

Andrew: "Alright! See you soon, brother!"

After the call, Andrew's mood brightened up. He was happy for Zhen-Zhen and Tristan.

He immediately stood up to search for Alveena. He didn't know why but he just felt like sharing this good news with her.

That was also the time Alveena entered his office, holding two cups of coffee. Andrew walked over to take the cups in her hands, putting them down on the table.

Alveena gazed up only to be dazed by Andrew's gorgeous face. He was smiling at her… the most charming smile she had ever seen before.

This was the first time she saw Andrew smiling like that. He couldn't help it. He felt light-hearted after talking to his brother. He was really in a good mood now.

"Alveena, I just talked with my brother!" Andrew told her enthusiastically.

Alveena snapped from her trance when she heard Andrew's cheerful voice.

She just answered him with a simple "Uhm" while nodding her head. She knew that Andrew was talking to Tristan a while ago before she went out to make coffee.

"Alveena, I'm going to be an Uncle now! My sister-in-law is pregnant!" Andrew shared the good news with her.

Alveena gasped in surprise after hearing that. "Wow! Is that true?!"

Andrew bobbed his head with a wide smile on his face.

"Oh my gosh! Congratulations, Mr. Drunky! I mean Boss!" Alveena was happy for them. She even jumped with joy in front of Andrew.

The two of them didn't know what had gotten to them but they just suddenly hugged each other as they rejoiced with the good news.

After a few seconds, they broke the hug. And there was a moment of awkward silence between them.

Andrew wanted to scold himself. He was carried away by his feelings, that's why he suddenly hugged Alveena. On the other hand, Alveena was flustered since she didn't expect that Andrew would do that.

To erase the awkwardness, Alveena cleared her throat and spoke up.

"Ahem, Boss, have a coffee first!" She said, trying to divert their attention.

Andrew came back to his usual self and nodded at her. "Thanks for this coffee." He took one cup from Alveena's table before returning to his table.

Alveena frowned, watching Andrew who was back to his usual reserved self. The charming smile he had moments ago already disappeared.

'Sigh. Argh! That was short-lived! His mood changed again in just a blink of an eye.' Alveena lamented, pouting at that thought.

Soon, she came back to her seat, frowning. The two of them occupied themselves with piles of work. They became busy with their own world once again.

Alveena didn't bug Andrew today because she's not in the mood. At the end of the day, she suddenly felt sick.

It was because of the weather. In the afternoon, she started sneezing, and she suffered from a sore throat.

Andrew noticed that Alveena was not feeling well. He advised her to go back to their hotel and rest. But Alveena refused. She wanted to go back together with Andrew.

Her stubbornness won so Andrew let her stay in the office. But he stopped her from working. Deep inside, he was concerned about her, even advising her to go to the hospital.

Alveena just laughed at his suggestion. She still refused, telling him she would feel better after taking medicine.

When they went back to the Hotel, Alveena headed straight to her bedroom, slumping her tired sick body.

At night, her condition didn't improve but she didn't want to bother Andrew. She also forgot to buy flu medicine. She thought she could endure it. But her fever got worse as time went by.

Alveena didn't have the strength to get up from the bed. She just hoped that she would feel better after getting enough sleep.

Meanwhile, in the other room, Andrew was still worried about Alveena. He was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling while contemplating whether to check on her or not.

'She might be sleeping by now. Should I take a look and see if she's just doing fine?' Andrew asked himself.
