S2| 10. Faded Charm
“What's the point of having a burly body if you don't have guts? You won't be any different from a peanut shell,” Max said after listening to Julian's story about how the secretary was hypnotized by him.
"Right. I fell in love with my husband not because of the burly body, but his heart," Gabriella said while smiling at the man who was holding her hand.
Getting such a response, Julian automatically stopped his steps and turned so that his seriousness could be seen more clearly. "But I'm not lying. As soon as Mia held my chest, she was silent. Her eyes were sparkling."
"Maybe, she's confused whether to slap you or not. You're the insolent boss," Gabriella teased, successfully making Julian's breath hitched.
"Now tell me the truth. Regardless of what made you love Max, haven't you ever been mesmerized by his body?"
With pursed lips, the woman rolled her eyes. "Yes. But that's not what determines my decision. Admiration and liking are two differe

“Dear God, please give this servant of Yours courage. I hope I can pass this challenge safely,” Julian whispered, closing his hands and eyes. Seeing the man's behavior, a husband and wife secretly smiled. "How long are you going to pray? Mia is tired of waiting," Max said while maintaining his relaxed pose on the bench. He was comfortable embracing his wife who was holding their son. "That's right, Julian. Come in. God must have heard your prayers. If you're scared, just hold Mia's hand,” Gabriella said while accompanying Cayden to play with the new teddy. The baby no longer cared about his uncle. Hearing the advice of the sister-in-law, Julian opened his eyes. “Do you think Mia will allow me to hold her hand?” he whispered before glancing at the girl waiting near the entrance. "Just ask her," Gabriella said lightly. After a sigh, the CEO finally clapped his hands and nodded. "Okay! I will deal with it now. Pray for me!" he exc

"What's wrong with Mia?" Gabriella asked wide-eyed. After handing the baby on her lap to her husband, she rushed to help Julian carrying the secretary to the bench. “Mia said someone grabbed her leg, but there's nothing. Maybe she was too scared to hallucinate,” Julian explained before taking a kneeling position in front of the secretary. After noticing the girl's blank stare, he sighed. "I have to buy a drink for her." "Let me do it. You stay here to take care of Mia,” Gabriella said as she patted herself. Without waiting for approval, the woman slid toward the rows of food stands. After Gabriella left, Julian's gaze returned to Mia's pale face. The girl was still struggling to catch her breath. Wrinkles that are rarely shown, were clearly visible at the base of her eyebrows. "Hey, we're safe. You have nothing to fear anymore," Julian said softly. Unfortunately, the girl did not answer. She only maintained an uneasy look that made anyone who

With a stiff blink, Mia glanced at Julian who was sitting across from her. The man was observing the scenery outside the window. His hands clasped together on the lap, doing nothing meaningful. However, the girl felt that she was being threatened. “Tsk, how come I can be in such a narrow space together with Mr. Julian?” thought the secretary, taking in a very heavy breath. "What should we do now?" Suddenly, the man turned away from the window. In just an instant, Mia was wide-eyed and turned her head in a different direction. "Ah, why am I being so awkward?" the girl regretted, trying to keep her straight face. "Woah! We haven't reached the peak. However, the view is already amazing,” Julian said with a bright smile. Instead of responding warmly, Mia straightened her back which was as stiff as her face. "It will be more beautiful if you see it when the sun is still shining," the girl implied, trying to remove the awkwardness. "Is that

Five years ago .... "He already owns a house, but why is he still troublesome for others?" Mia grumbled as she walked quickly towards a black fence. If her mother hadn't urged her, she wouldn't had broken through the winds of late autumn that made her shiver. “If he can't take care of himself, why not just hire a servant? And why must he look for a place to live near my apartment? Tsk, really troublesome,” the girl muttered while ringing the bell. After a few seconds, a car stopped near the fence. Not long after that, someone came down and supported Julian who was staggering. Witnessing it, all of Mia's annoyance suddenly disappeared and was devoured by worry. "Mr. Evans?" "Are you his servant?" the man asked while frowning. Without thinking, Mia nodded. “Then hurry up and take care of your master! He's very troublesome,” the stranger exclaimed as he put Julian's arm around the girl's shoulder. “Next time, I won't accompany him to drin

“This is my heart, Sir. Only I know how it feels," Mia said firmly. "But you can't hide it from me, Mia," Julian sighed with a fixed gaze. While holding the secretary's shoulders, he clenched his jaw. "Now tell me the truth. Why did you hide the fact that I did that to you?” After a moment of silence, the girl replied, "I don't want to make my parents sad and disappointed." "Is that so?" the man inquired while painting doubt through the arch of his brow. “Then, two years ago, why didn't you slap me too? You act like nothing happened in that elevator.” “That's because I don't want to bring up the past, Sir. After all, at that time, you were pressed. As we've already discussed, I was the closest way out. So, I accept it.” Hearing the reason that seemed made up, Julian snorted. “What about two minutes? Why did you pause for a moment, before deciding to push me? Isn't it because your heart is not willing to reject me?" Receiving such a que

"Are you fighting?” Herbert's question echoed in the secretary's mind. "No, Sir," Mia said in an awkward tone. She had never expected to be caught so close to Julian. "Is that true? But, why do I feel that you two are fighting?” Herbert inquired, knitting an eyebrow. Realizing how tightly the girl clenched her fists, Julian finally let out a faint sigh. "It's nothing, Dad. We're just talking about a secret that other people may not know, like you who suddenly came in here." "Is that so?" the old man muttered as he sat down on the couch. "What secret are you talking about?" "It wouldn't be a secret if I told you, Dad," the CEO implied, trying to sound casual. A second later, Julian's feet began to move to take a position in front of his father. "So, what are you coming here for?" the man asked while dropping the weight on the soft chair behind him. Without warning, Herbert shifted his gaze towards the secretary. “Mia, do you min

Mia stood with her suitcase by the lobby door. Every now and then, she glanced sideways at Julian who was busy with his cell phone. Even though the man was aware that the girl was secretly watching him, he remained unmoved. “What exactly did Mr. Herbert say?” Mia thought before straightening her sight and letting out a faint sigh. It had been five days since the girl had questioned it. Julian's change in attitude was a big conundrum to her. However, until they went on a business trip to another city, the answer had not yet come. There was absolutely no hint of a man who only talked about work. In the midst of endless contemplation, a car stopped in front of them. Without saying a word, the CEO tucked his cell phone into the pocket. A second later, he rushed into the passenger seat, letting the hotel servant put his suitcase in the back trunk. "Is this our car?" Mia asked spontaneously when the servant asked for her luggage. "Yes, Miss," the un

In the midst of confusion, suddenly, the stranger's call blurred Mia's thoughts. “Then, who is this sweet girl, Julian? Is she your wife?" In just an instant, the secretary let out a faint sigh. However, before she could give a response, Julian had already placed one hand on her waist. "This is the woman I love the most, Auntie," the man replied, successfully adding to the awkwardness in Mia's veins. "Apparently, my nephew has very good taste," Greta said, making the girl forced to smile. “Nice to meet you, Madam. I'm Mia," the secretary said politely. Unexpectedly, the healthy woman patted the girl's arm. "There's no need to be so tense, Miss. Just call me Greta. I always feel a lot younger when people call me by name.” Witnessing the woman's friendliness, Mia smiled more loosely. Nodding, she replied, "Okay." Greta's warm gaze had released a feeling of comfort in Mia. After a moment of silence, the woman with the reddish skin
