《CEO's Love in Trap》


 1. Coffee and Water

    1. Coffee and Water


    Have you ever been tired of facing this life?


    Every day, the weight on the shoulders bes heavier. Even so, your feet must keep walking


    because time has no mercy to anyone who is weak.


    That was how a girl in her little house felt. Whenever the sound of building debris was heard


    approaching, she would press the piano keys with more vigor. When the noise was louder, she turned


    the volume control knob almost to the maximum. Nothing in the world could stop her from ying the


    piano, except for the ringing of the bell for the fifth time.


    ¡°Aaargh! Who else is that? When will they stop bothering me?"


    With heavy and fast steps, she approached the door.


    "What''s wrong?" she asked fiercely.


    The handsome figure outside the door blinked. However, a secondter, the man''s cute smile curved


    perfectly.


    "Good afternoon, Miss Gabrie," he said pleasantly.


    The girl furrowed her brows observing the strange man who was suspicious.


    Well-groomed ck hair, long white shirt in the middle of a hot day, and shiny loafers on the toes. The


    man had to be a Quebracha Company employee who was sent to win Gabrie''s heart.


    ¡°Do they think my decision can be changed because of a handsome boy? Tch, what a superficial idea!"


    The girl thought with one corner of her lip twitching faintly.


    "If you want to persuade me to sell this house, sorry ... I''m still not interested. Please tell your boss to


    stop bothering me and this house. You will only waste time and energy."


    The girl pulled the door without further ado, but the man spontaneously held the door with his strong


    arms. The host''s eyes widened at the unexpected courage.


    "What?" The girl asked while pushing the door so it didn''t open any wider. She was afraid that the


    stranger would force his way into her house.


    "Ie here not for that." A sweet smile was shown again through a narrow gap.


    "So what?" Gabrie frowned at the unexpected guest.


    "Since you refuse to sell this house, ourpany wants to negotiate."


    ¡°Negotiating? What''s the difference with persuading?"


    "Of course it''s different. Therefore, please let me step in and exin it in detail."


    The girl bit her lower lip and gave a sneer. However, the man in front of her didn''t change his


    expression at all.


    "You really want to enter this house?" Gabrie asked testing his guts.


    "Yes." The man nodded without the slightest bit of worry.


    After considering it for a moment, the host let out a faint sigh and nodded slightly.


    "All right,e in."


    The door was finally opened.


    "Thank you." The handsome man still curved his sweet lips. Even to the point where he sat on the sofa,


    his hospitality was still radiant.


    "Have a drink," the host said as her hands put down a cup of coffee and a ss of water. The corners

    of her lips were rising as well.


    "Thank you, Miss. So, I''m Max from Quebracha Company."


    ¡°Yes, I already know,¡± Gabrie said with pursed lips.


    "Already know?" The man raised his eyebrows.


    The girl nodded confidently.


    "Yes, who else could disturb the peace of my life if it''s not employees of the Quebrachapany?"


    The man''s tense expression suddenly turned sweet again.


    "Okay. I apologize for your inconvenience."


    Gabrie only shrugged briefly.


    ¡°Before I start exining, I want to make sure. Are you sure you still don''t want to sell this house even


    if you are offered four times of the price?¡±


    The girl took a deep breath and answered, "Yes."


    "Are you sure you will still befortable living in this house if ourpany project is already


    underway?"


    "Yes."


    "Even though tall buildings surround your house?"


    Gabrie looked down and pinched the bridge of her nose.


    "Didn''t you mention that your presence is not to persuade me?" she protested inzy tone.


    "Yes, indeed. I just want to make sure," the CEO exined in a rxed way.


    After one blink, he ced a folder on the table. "In that case, you must have no objection to signing this


    letter."


    Gabrie read the document with furrowed brows. "Statement letter?"


    ¡°That you don''t mind if our project goes on. You will not make any protest or report to the media."


    Unconsciously, the girl gritted her jaw.


    "So, yourpany really has to turn this environment into urban areas?" she muttered in a trembling


    voice.


    ¡°We will not touch your house, including the yard and fence. We will only build at the safe distance."


    Suddenly, Gabrie snorted and lowered her head.


    ¡°How do I know that you will not intrude on this house? The points you mentioned earlier are not written


    in this letter. Yourpany can be cheating."


    "What kind of cheating do you mean?"


    The girl''s forefinger suddenly shot up.


    "Wait a minute! Let me put the points yourpany must meet into a list. Please enjoy this coffee


    while waiting.¡±


    Without wasting a moment, Gabrie walked through a door.


    As soon as the host left, the man''s eyes began to roam freely. All the portraits hanging on the wall were


    closely watched, likewise with the trophy disyed on the ss shelf in the corner of the room. A


    spontaneous cynical exhale escaped his mouth.


    "Who is this girl?"


    Max continued to observe the piano peeking in the next room. His observation only stopped when the


    cell phone in his pocket vibrated.


    "How is it, Mr. CEO? Do you still not believe that woman is unique?" Max smiled crookedly as he read


    the message from his private secretary.


    "Tch, what''s unique? In fact, I am increasingly suspicious that this woman was bribed by our business


    Then, is it true that she looks like an angel? I heard that Gabrie is so enchanting."


    A direct sigh escaped Max''s mouth.


    "Hm? Enchanting?" he muttered as he looked back at the photo of little Gabrie with her parents.


    "Not at all," the man sighed as he reached for the cup.


    As soon as the warm coffee entered his mouth, the man''s eyes almost jumped out. A secondter, the


    ck liquid that should have been swallowed was poured back into the container.


    "Geez! Why is it so spicy?"


    Without hesitation, the CEO took the other ss. Before he had time for the water to wet his throat, the


    sound of water gushes could be heard.


    "Yuck ... How salty!"


    As his hand''s wiping his lips and chin with a handkerchief, the man looked around for the kitchen.


    "I need water," he thought while breathing through his open mouth.


    Unfortunately, all the doors he lead to were locked tight. Instantly skyrocketing resentment overturned


    patience.


    "That girl ... how dare she make fun of me!"


    As his hands clenched tightly, Max knocked on Gabrie''s door.

    Two secondster, Gabrie emerged looking innocent. The corners of her lips twitched from stifling


    "What''s the matter, Sir?" she asked while raising an eyebrow.


    The CEO was still overwhelmed with the burning sensation in his mouth. "Water! Give me water!"


    "Didn''t I already serve you a ss of water?" The girl was about to walk to get the ss.


    Before Gabrie could take a step, the CEO had already grasped her hand. ¡°Stop ying with me!


    Hurry up and give me fresh water! Not salt water!"


    Unexpectedly, the girl startedughing. When she stopped, tension immediately covered her face.


    "Sorry, Sir, but that¡¯s all I can give you. If you want to drink fresh water, you better get out of this house


    quickly and buy water at the nearest shop. Tsk, if only the shop at the end of the alley was still there,


    you could buy drinking water faster. Too bad, the shop is in ruins now."


    Max couldn''t hold back his anger anymore. His breath had rumbled and his hands wanted to grip the


    cor of the girl. He had never been lowered like that.


    "So, you don''t want to give me water?" he asked in a low, depressed tone. His sharp eyes asionally


    nced at the girl''s lips that were depicting contempt.


    Gabrie shook her head without hesitation.


    "Are you suffering? That''s how I felt when watching this ce get razed."


    An irritated sigh escaped Max''s mouth. "So, you are a vengeful person? Okay, I understand now. We


    have to retaliate,¡± the man nodded with burning eyes.


    "Thank goodness if you understand. Now, what are you waiting for? Shouldn''t you get water


    immediately?"


    Max shook his head quickly and let out augh. "Are you not aware? I''ve found the nearest source of


    water here. "


    Gabrie''s eyes rounded. "Here? Where?"


    The girl looked around checking the surrounding. As far as she could remember, she had kept all the


    drinking water in the kitchen.


    "Here." The CEO lifted Gabrie''s chin so that he could suck her mouth.


    Gabrie''s breath suddenly stopped. Her eyelids didn¡¯t budge and her eyeballs trembled. She barely


    moved.


    For a few seconds, the girl let the man''s tongue y in her mouth. When she regained consciousness,


    her hand pushed Max''s chest away and p him.


    "You are crazy!" Gabrie wiped her dirty lips. "How dare you kiss me!"


    "Why? Wasn''t it you who asked me to find the nearest water?¡± Max anwered while lifting his shoulders


    and hands. His slightly gaping mouth was still throbbing with the spicy taste.


    "Disgusting! I said water, not a chance." The girl frowned and walked towards the kitchen.


    After the door¡¯s opened by a key from her trouser pocket, Gabrie took a ss of water and drank.


    However, the burning sensation still remained on her tongue.


    "Now you can feel the suffer from your spicy coffee and salt water."


    The girl''s eyes immediately moved following the source of the sound.


    "Why are you still here? Didn''t I tell you toe out?"


    ¡°Our business is not over, Miss. Besides, you still haven''t given me water." Max nced at the ss in


    the girl''s hand then switched to the water gallon.


    Gabrie''s eyes flickered in disbelief. ¡°You still dare to ask those things? After what you did to me? "


    "Didn''t I already pay for it?" the CEO said casually. An index finger points to his cheek. ¡°I''ve paid with


    this. Your p was strong enough."


    The girl was jolted by confusion. "Wait a minute! Are you really an employee at the Quebracha


    Company? It is impossible for an immoral and superficial person like you to work there."


    The hiss in the CEO''s mouth suddenly turned into ndughter.


    ¡°You say I''m immoral and superficial?"


    "Yes! If you have moral and brain, there''s no way you could enter someone''s house, cause a fuss, then


    kiss a girl you don''t even know." Gabrie''s eyes began to stir with anger.


    "Sorry, Miss. It seems you are the one with the shallow mind. I came here with good intention, but you


    just provoked a scene. "


    Gabrie now shook her head. "It''s so hard talking to someone with a tiny brain like this."


    "Is it true? Aren''t you the one with the tiny brain? A smart person won¡¯t put a bottle of chili powder into


    coffee?" Max''s gaze was fixed on the small empty container with the stic seal still messy beside it.


    Instead of feeling guilty, Gabrie grunted and folded her arms over her chest. "Tsk, I should have put


    two bottles in the coffee earlier."


    Suddenly, the CEO stepped up quickly and pushed the girl to the kitchen cupboard. With burning eyes,


    he cut the line of sight between them. Gabrie reflexively covered her mouth with both hands, afraid


    that the man would kiss her again.


    "It seems, you are a sloppy woman, huh? In this deste house, you dare to challenge a man,¡± Max


    whispered with mysterious curve on his lips.


    That change of attitude was sessful in lowering the girl''s head. Still, Gabrie''s round eyes peeked


    out.


    "What do you want to do?"


    Max grinned and enclosed the girl with both hands. ¡°I only ask two things. Your signature on the


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    contract and water. You''re not secretly hoping I''ll kiss you again, are you?" said the man intimidatingly.


    Before Gabrie could think of a way out, the man''s hand had already touched her waist. The girl''s


    round eyes suddenly shed fear. With one motion, she pushed a ss to the CEO''s chest.


    "This is my favorite ss. Don''t ruin it!" she said in a choked voice.


    Max''s smile slowly came back. "Thank you." He took water and drank as much as he wanted.


    It was only after Gabrie scampered out of the kitchen that the man was able to freely observe the


    minimalist kitchen.


    "She really live alone?" Max thought when he saw there was only one set of cutlery on the te rack. A


    secondter, he noticed the pr bear-shaped ss in his hand.


    "No wonder this is a favorite ss," he sneered as he ced the only visible ss on the shelf.


    ¡°This is the contract you want. Now, go!¡± Gabrie pressed the folder to the man''s chest.


    Instead of lifting his feet, Max opened the folder. As soon as he saw what the host had painted, an


    irritated smile immediately crossed his face.


    "You really think I''m a fool?" the CEO said with great emphasis. No more patience left in him. "You


    think, I believe this is your signature?"


    Two small circles that resembled eyes with a curved line that resembled a smile were now exposed to


    Gabrie.


    ¡°Yes, that''s my signature. Smiley emoticons."


    Max''s blood suddenly boiled and billowed in his head.

    "Are you going to sign this letter or not?" Max asked while holding back the roar of his breath.


    "What do you mean? I''ve signed the letter,¡± Gabrie said with furrowed brows. Her tone was no longer


    polite.


    "Okay! Don''t me me if something bad happens to your house."


    "Wait! I''ve signed the letter, okay? You can''t intrude on this house anymore.¡±


    "Good afternoon!"


    Max left after expressing his frustration with words. It was unusual for the man to fail controlling his


    emotion.


    "That girl isn''t normal," said the CEO as soon as he got into the car. The man behind the steering


    wheel nced at him.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "She gave me spicy coffee and salt water, but not even a drop of water to wash my mouth,¡± Max said


    with disgust.


    "Is it true? Then, what did you do to wash your mouth?"


    The CEO''s eyelids were suddenly frozen. The softness of the lips that he had kissed was lingering in


    his mind. After blinking vigorously, he handed the folder to the secretary.


    "Never mind, don''t talk about that again. The important thing is, we managed to get the girl''s


    autograph."


    "Is this a valid signature?" Sebastian brought the ck ink streaks closer to his eyes.


    "I told you, she''s a strange woman. Now, let''s go! My agenda got dyed because of that stubborn


    girl."


    While holding back a smile, the secretary who is also the driver stepped on the gas. They left behind a


    girl who was peeking through the window.


    "That''s the consequence of messing with Gabrie," she muttered with pursed lips.


    A secondter, his fingers rose to touch the traces of a kiss that still felt warm. Without realizing it, her


    heart was beating faster again.


    "Because of that guy, I lost my first kiss," she grumbled, looking down.


    "Ah never mind! Why do I regret the past? I''d better get back to practice for tomorrow''spetition."


    The sound of piano could be heard again. Gabrie''s focus was solely on the paper, which was filled


    with rows of notes.


    ¡°I have to make Mom''s dreame true. Take the trophy home and disy it in the living room!"


    The next day, the girl came home with a cheerful face.


    ¡°Mom must be d for I got through in the first round,¡± Gabrie mumbled along the way.


    With light steps, she entered the alley leading to her house. The ruins on the right and left no longer


    bothered her mind since her heart had been dominated by happiness.


    A few momentster, Gabrie''s steps were stopped by surprise. The smile on her face immediately


    changed to a scream.


    "Nooo!"


    The girl ran without paying attention to her dress being caught in the wind. Every time her steps were


    blocked by the cloth, she''s slowing down, but she was not allowed to stop.


    "Please, don''t!" Gabrie shouted as the excavator''s arm smashed the roof of her house. Tears could


    no longer be contained.


    ¡°Stop it! Don''t destroy my house!"


    Heavy equipment kept breaking down the walls of her house. Half of the building was in ruins.


    "No, no!" the girl who had almost arrived at the yard of the house shouted. But unfortunately, two


    workers intercepted her steps.


    ¡°Don''t go there, Miss! It''s dangerous!"


    "But that''s my house!"


    C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "Sorry, Miss. We were ordered to destroy all the houses in this area."


    ¡°Not my house! I didn''t even agree to sell it! Then, what are you doing now?"


    "Sorry, Miss." Those workers dragged her away.


    "No! Let me go! Stop!"


    Gabrie continued to struggle, but she was still forced away from the yellow monster that was


    merciless.


    "Please ..." she sighed desperately.


    Unfortunately, the rakeer continued to work. The yellow monster didn''t understand that every time it


    knocked down one wall, Gabrie''s heart was scattered with it.


    "My home ...."


    Gabrie''s voice faded with despair. The girl did not have strength to stand up anymore. Sitting on the


    side of the road, she watched her house be razed. Gabrie could only cry and cry.


    ***


    "Excuse me, Sir." Sebastian stepped into Max''s office.


    "What''s the matter, Bas? Why are you so serious?" the CEO asked while his gaze stuck to the


    documents on the table.


    "I just got a report. The girl''s house has been razed."


    The pen in Max''s hand spontaneously stifled. After straightening his head, the man blinked firmly.


    "What did you say?"


    ¡°Gabrie''s house has just been razed. Someone has sent the wrong order using e-mail from our


    office."


    Max pressed his temple with one hand. "Who is that? Who dares to send out that order?"


    "Sorry, Sir. The order was sent via your e-mail. "


    The CEO stared intently at his secretary. "My e-mail?"


    ¡°Yes, Sir,¡± Sebastian said, not daring to return his cousin''s gaze.


    Max leaned back in the seat. After thoroughly reviewing the information, his ndugh sounded


    desperate.


    ¡°It turns out that my guess was right. There is something wrong with the house. Then, what about that


    girl? Any news about her?"


    "Until now, there''s no meaningful news. Gabrie continues to cry over the ruins of her house."


    The CEO''s forefinger began tapping on the table.


    "What would that strange girl do? Will she go on a rampage in front of the media? Or sue us?"


    "Sorry, Sir. I have to handle other things. We have to quickly find the person who sent the bogus order.


    Excuse me."


    Sebastian gave a slight bow and walked away, leaving Max with dozens of scenarios in mind.


    "What will that woman do?" the CEO muttered since he could not find a good guess. Everything about


    Gabrie wasplicated and unpredictable.


    "What should I do?" a girl sighed while teardrops ran down her cheeks. She''s been around checking


    the debris, but not a single object could be saved.


    Photos of her father and mother, the sses she got for her 10th birthday, and even the pr bear that


    always apanied her to sleep. Beautiful memories seemed to be destroyed with those items.


    "What should I do?"


    "Miss ...."


    Gabrie turned to the side. A pair of shabby shoes entered the frame of view. With the remaining


    strength, she looked up at a man holding the project helmet with both hands.


    "Sorry, Miss. It''s almost dark. We have to go home. It''s not good for a girl to be alone in a ce like


    this."


    Gabrie looked back. Tears slowly began to form once again. After swallowing hard, she sighed, "You


    still have a home toe to, but I ... I have nowhere else to stay."


    The man standing next to the girl lowered his head. He had chosen a wrong word.


    "Sorry, Miss. I didn''t mean to offend. But, don''t you have siblings? Or distant family? Stay in their house


    for a while."


    Gabrie didn''t reply. She was too sad to exin that she had no one to rely on.


    ¡°Or, what if you asked the chairman of the Quebrachapany to take responsibility? I heard that he is


    a wise and friendly person. Maybe, you''ll be able to receive appropriatepensation."


    Gabrie''s fists clenched tightly around her dress. An immense rage had just risen and was filling her


    self.


    "It''s useless to ask for ountability. My house will not be back."


    "But, at least, you can get some money and maybe ... a ce to make a living. That''s much better than


    Gabrie was stunned. The worker''s advice had pped her face. What the man said was true. Moving


    was much better than being still. The person who had destroyed her memories and hopes should not


    be allowed to win.


    Slowly, the girl rose to her feet.


    "Do you know the address of this heartlesspany leader?"


    The worker nodded.

    "What will that woman do?" Max thought in the middle of dinner. The rice on his te was almost gone,


    but the debate in his mind was still not over.


    "What kind of craziness is she going to do? Tsk, who is the person who paid for her for this y?"


    "Sorry, Sir. There''s a call from the guard,¡± a servant said while lowering her head and handing him a


    cell phone.


    Max''s eyebrows rose spontaneously. "The guard?"


    His question was answered with a nod from the servant.


    "Is it possible ... that crazy woman came here?"


    Without wasting any time, the CEO answered the call. "What''s the matter?"


    "There is a girl insisting to meet you, Sir."


    Max''s expression suddenly turned stiff. "Who?"


    "Her name is Gabrie."


    A sigh escaped directly from the man''s mouth.


    ¡°It''s totally unexpected. Why does she choose toe here?"


    "Is there any ''honesty potion'' stored in the post?" Max asked using a code.


    "Yes, Sir."


    The corners of his lips were raised mysteriously.


    "Give it to the girl. If she doesn''t take two sses, then don''t let here in."


    "Two sses, Sir?" the guard asked as if unexpected.


    "Yes. What''s wrong?"


    ¡°Isn''t that too much? This girl looks very innocent. What if the dosage is too much?"


    "Don''t be easy to judge by appearance. Her face maybe innocent, but the true character ¡­ we don''t


    know.¡±


    "Okay, Sir."


    Without stalling for time, Max got up from his chair.


    "Your vitamins, Sir." The servant showed some pills in the small container.


    "Ah, that''s right. Thank you."


    Without counting the number of pills provided, the CEO swallowed them all.


    ¡°A girl wille here. You don''t need to wee her. Just tell the girl to meet me in my room."


    "Your room, Sir?"


    "Protocol number one."


    The waiter''s eyes suddenly widened. ¡°Protocol number one? Is that girl dangerous?"


    Max arched a faint smile.


    "I don''t know yet. Now, hurry up and announce it. This house must be isted by the time the girl


    arrives."


    "Yes, Sir."


    In haste, the servant approached herrades. She whispered and in an instant, people left their jobs.


    "Let''s see! Can that girl lie after drinking the honesty potion?"


    "What is this? I don''t want to drink it!" Gabrie refused, taking a step back.


    "Then, you must note into this house, Miss."


    "But, I have to talk to the CEO of Quebracha," the girl said pitifully.


    "Then, you must be willing to drink this."


    Gabrie grimaced. However, the guard seemed merciless. After sighing in resignation, she raised a


    ss and sniffed it.


    "What is this?" the girl asked when her nose caught a strong scent.


    Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Just drink it!"


    Closing her eyes, Gabrie took a sip of the yellowish potion.


    "One more, Miss."


    "One more?"


    The girl frowned, but the guard pressed her hand to raise a new ss. Like it or not, she finished the


    drink.


    As the gates opened, Gabrie coughed. With hands holding her throat, she walked towards the main


    building which stood majestically in the middle of the garden.


    ¡°This guy is so bad. He has such argend. Why did he destroy my house?" Gabrie muttered


    before hastening the steps toward therge door.


    "Good evening, Miss," a servant greeted with trembling hands. "Please go up the stairs then turn left.


    Enter the open door. Mister CEO is waiting for you there."


    Before Gabrie could say hello, the servant had already walked out and closed the door tightly. Upon


    hearing the sound of the key turning, the girl''s eyebrows lifted in surprise.


    "Is this a trap? Why did she lock it?"


    Gabrie walked over to the door and tried to open it. "Yes, this door is locked," she sighed anxiously.


    After a blink of eyes, the girl''s hands were tightly clenched.


    ¡°I''vee this far. There''s no way I''ll give up."


    With bold steps, Gabrie made her way up the stairs. She was so focused, so she didn''t even have


    time to check the photos on several sides of the room.


    "Whoever the CEO is, he has no right to just destroy my house."


    Finding the open door, Gabrie paused. After wiping her face and taking a deep breath, she nodded


    forcefully.


    "I can''t look weak."


    A secondter, she stomped her feet into the room. Her eyes widened when she found a bed. The girl


    just realized that she hade into a man''s bedroom.


    "Is this really a trap?" Gabrie thought as she blinked. The dizziness just hit her head.


    ¡°Wee, Miss Gabrie,¡± a man greeted from the corner of the room. The girl immediately turned to


    the right.


    "You ...?"


    Gabrie''s forefinger went up while her mouth fell open in disbelief.


    "You''re the CEO of Quebracha?"


    Max stuck his hand in the trouser pocket and took a leisurely stride.


    ¡°There''s no need to pretend to be surprised, Miss. Don''t you already know who I am?"


    An irritated smile appeared on Gabrie''s face.


    "Oh, I understand now. You destroyed my house because you were upset, because you felt humiliated,


    and because I was signing autographs carelessly."


    Max folded his arms across his chest and raised an eyebrow. "Well, you seem like a really great


    actress, don''t you think? I almost got fooled by your acting."


    "What do you mean?" Gabrie asked incredulously.


    ¡°Tsk, it looks like the potion hasn''t reacted yet. I should have given her three sses,¡± Max muttered


    while scratching his temple.


    "Ah, well .... Let''s just follow your game. How much do you want?"


    Gabrie''s face frowned spontaneously. "You think my house can be reced with money?"


    Max nodded proudly. "Of course. Isn''t that what you''re after? Otherwise, there''s no way you could have


    bothered toe here and pretend to be angry like this."


    Gabrie''s chest burned at the CEO''s words. Her breath was now racing while her lips began to


    tremble in anger.


    "You think I''m pretending?" Tears began to gather without warning. "Do you know what that house


    means to me? It is a legacy from my parents. All our memories are there, and now, you have destroyed


    them all."


    Gabrie closed her eyes for the sadness and outrage had put a lot of pressure on her brain.


    "That house is my life. You destroy it, you destroy my life. Do you still think that my anger is fake?"


    Max scratched his earlobe which didn''t itch. The tears on Gabrie''s red face seemed so real. He


    wanted to apud her sessful acting.


    "Then, what should I do now? You want me to rebuild the house? Maybe ... the bricks can be re-


    cemented. Wood and nks can be joined with nails. Or, your favorite ss can also be glued. A


    thousand cracks won''t be a problem, right?¡±


    Gabrie''s ferocity had no ce to peak. A secondter, the girl attacked the CEO with her long fingers


    and blunt nails.

 5. The Trap

    5. The Trap


    ¡°You have no heart! Instead of apologizing, you insulted my house and my memories?"


    Gabrie grabbed Max''s hair brutally. Even though he was grimacing, the man was still able to stand


    up straight. His hands did not hesitate to grip the girl''s wrist and freeze the attack.


    "What am I sorry for? I''m not guilty."


    Gabrie''s annoyed chuckle rang out.


    "You''re innocent? You think I believe it? Aren''t you the one who gave me threat? Do you forget?" the


    girl protested as she jerked her hand.


    ¡°That was just a saying. It wasn''t me who destroyed your house."


    Gabrie started jumping up and down, adding strength to the pull, but the CEO still gripped her wrists.


    "Let go! I don''t want to be touched by a cruel bragger like you!¡±


    ¡°Did you just use me of bragging?"


    Max twisted Gabrie and locked her from behind. With arms crossed over her chest, the girl could do


    nothing but jump up and down. Even though her head hit the man''s chin several times and the


    dizziness blew her eyes even more, she still struggled as best she could.


    "Let go!"


    "Enough!" Max started to get overwhelmed by the madness of his guest.


    "Let go ...!"


    The CEO could no longer be patient. With his much greater strength, he dragged the girl onto the bed,


    then crushed her like a cop catching a criminal.


    "Akh!" Gabrie groaned as a huge explosion struck her head. Not because of a collision with the


    mattress, but because of something stirring her stomach.


    "Hueek ... hueek ...."


    Max''s eyes widened spontaneously. "Are you going to throw up?"


    "Hueek ..."


    "Not here!"


    Max took his guest to the bathroom. He shuddered as he watched Gabrie vomit out of the toilet.


    "It''s a right choice I gave her two sses," Max spoke to himself.


    After washing her mouth in the sink, Gabrie looked down and caught her breath for a moment. After


    that, she turned around to reveal her pale lips and red cheeks to the CEO. There were no more words


    from her mouth.


    "Do you want to attack me again?" Max challenged as Gabrie staggered toward him.


    Miraculously, the girl shook her head and walked past him.


    "Hm? Has the honesty potion reacted?"


    Max chased after Gabrie and grabbed her arm. "Hey, what do you really want?"


    With her eyelids half open, the girl looked at Max.


    "Home."


    ¡°Oh, you want a big house or a fancy one? Take it easy. But, tell me ... who told you to oppose the


    Quebracha project?"


    Gabrie shook her head weakly and repeated the same words, "Home."


    Max''s forehead frowned unhappily. "What does it mean?"


    "Home."


    A secondter, Gabrie''s leg lost its strength. If the CEO didn''t catch her, she would have fallen on the


    floor.


    "Ah, I should have given this girl one ss," Max regretted as he carried the girl andid her on the


    bed.


    Standing up and pinching his chin, the man observed Gabrie''s appearance. Messy hair, pale lips,


    and dirty dress. The girl was totally messed up.


    "What is this girl''s purpose?" the CEO turned his thoughts from another perspective.


    "Is it possible if this girl is really innocent?"


    A secondter, Max shook his head ignoring his words.


    ¡°The innocent girl can also be used. The Enji Company or Colorwood could have sent her to screw up


    the project. They must already know that this girl is crazy."


    The CEO approached and observed every detail on Gabrie''s face.


    "When sleeping like this, she''s pretty too." The man did not realize that he swallowed hard.


    Suddenly, the cellphone on the table rang. Max grabbed it and checked the notification on the screen.


    "From the unknown number?" His eyes rolled to check in all directions. "Is it the threat again?"


    Without wasting time, the CEO read the message.


    "Let me guess! You must have given the woman the honesty potion and now, she''s asleep."


    Max''s hands were tightly clenched again. With a heavy breath, he stared at Gabrie''s innocent face.


    ¡°She was indeed a messenger? Tch .... "


    The cellphone in Max''s hand rang again.


    ¡°Then, have fun! But, be careful! Don''t let the girl get pregnant. Not only will Evans'' name fall, but also


    you from the CEO position."


    Max snorted angrily.


    "What does it mean by having fun? Does this person think I''m a jerk?¡±


    After putting the cellphone on the table, the CEO turned to Gabrie''s bag on the floor.


    "Why is it so hot tonight? Even though I just finished showering,¡± Max muttered as he poured the


    contents of Gabrie''s bag.


    Notebooks, wallets, cell phones, and musical notation paper were the four things that attracted his


    attention.


    ¡°She''s a musician? Or just pretending to be a musician?"


    Max threw the paper to the bag.


    "What is this? Her handwriting is terrible,¡± the manmented as he opened the notebook.


    ¡°The woman must practice writing. Or maybe ¡­ it''s not her who wrote this book.¡±


    Max unhesitatingly threw the book into the pile of useless items. After a blink of eyes, his hand opened


    the girl''s wallet.


    "It looks like she''s in need of money. Poor her."


    A secondter, the man''s fingers were already holding Gabrie''s ID.


    "So, her birthday is next month. Tch, she''s not as young as she looks. Her face''s really deceiving."


    After returning the card, Max closed his wallet and switched to the cellphone.


    "Password?"


    With a lopsided smile, Max walked back to Gabrie and pressed her thumb against the sensor.


    "Stupid!" the man muttered in satisfaction. Then, he sat on the edge of the bed and began to check


    N?velDrama.Org content.


    every file on the cellphone.


    Messages, phone logs, contact numbers, even to photo and video galleries. His eyes widened when he


    saw the number of recorded videos.


    "Is this daily reports?" the man who was still suspicious of Gabrie guessed.


    Without a doubt, he clicked on thetest video. The girl''s sweet smile immediately greeted him.


    "Hello, Mom. Today, I join apetition. It''s only the first round, but I still have to look pretty, right?¡±


    The girl stood up and stepped back until her entire body fit into the screen.


    ¡°I really want to wear this dress. But, this is too sexy. There are many male workers outside. I''m afraid


    that my clothes will provoke unpleasant things."


    Gabrie picked up another dress from the bed.


    "Then, the second option is this long dress. It looks more polite, right? Would you like to see me


    wearing it?"


    A secondter, the girl turned around and started stripping off the dress on her body. Max''s blood


    suddenly rustled. Even as Gabrie finished wearing the second dress, his eyes were still rounded onto


    the screen.


    "How is it, Mom? This one is more elegant, right?¡±


    After checking her appearance from several directions, the girl came closer again.


    "Pray for me, Mom. I will not disappoint you. I''m going to win this one."


    Gabrie''s sweet smile concluded the video.


    Swallowing hard, Max turned his head towards the sleeping girl beside him. Without a word, he put the


    phone on the table and began to look at Gabrie''s body with interest.


    When he regained consciousness, Max found his hand stroking the girl''s sensitive area. As fast as a


    sh, he pulled his hand away and stepped out of the bed.


    "Jeez .... What was I thinking?"


    As he walked back and forth, Max fanned his head and caught his breath. Instead of subsiding, the


    desire within him grew up. His body began to throb in difort.


    "What''s wrong with me?"


    Suddenly, Max''s cell phone called again. In an instant, he read the message from the threat.


    "It is the most potent stimnt. Don''t even try to fight back! Your heart will not be strong."
