Chapter 98 not just the CEO of E Shine
ALESSANDRO’S POV
After returning from work, I discovered that Victoria, who typically arrives home before me due to her
pregnancy, wasn’t in the living room to greet me like usual. Frowning, I saw Sophia opening the door
for me and nodded politely.
“Young master, good evening,” she said.
I nodded at her. “Good Evening.”
Even though my mood turned sour, I could not be rude to the woman who always treated me like her
own child.
I walked inside, and my wife was not in the living space. I turned to Sophia; she only smiled, sending
me a knowing look.
“Searching for Young Mistress?” She asked.
Nothing is hidden from her as she constantly witnesses our love and affection. Sometimes, she would
jokingly say, ‘Oh! My eyes are burning! These young people are so full of fire!’
Only after Victoria’s departure did I fully realize her affection for her. And upon Victoria’s return been
pregnancy, Sophia and the other maids took extra care to ensure her well-being, and I couldn’t be more
d!
I nodded, not hiding my displeased expression.
Sophia sighed.
“These days, you younger generation tends to disregard the opinions of older individuals! She should
rest, have fun and do some basic exercises at this time, but what is she doing? She is staying all day
before that brainless stupid machine, and you guys are addicted too much to that thing!”
“She did not even care for herself today to the extent that I had to feed her forcefully! You should help
her understand the importance of looking after herself.”
Comining, she walked away, shaking her head and murmuring her displeasure.
Staying before the stupid brainless machine? Well, I know she is talking about aptop orputer.
But Victoria is not addicted too much to electronic devices, unlike me.
What is going on?
Without dy, I hurried up the stairs and swung open the door to our bedroom, only to find that Victoria
was not inside.
I closed the door and searched for her in the library. She is still not there. Finally, I went to my home
office, only to find her sitting at the desk I fitted beside mine for her.
Once we got back together, I retracted my vow of keeping her out of this ce. I used to prefer being
alone here to avoid encountering her and feeling frustrated without knowing the truth.
Now, she has ess to every ce in and outside this house. She has undoubtedly established a
secure position within my heart, with half of it exclusively belonging to her. So, of course, worldly ces
are too easy to reach.
I knocked on the door, watching her stare deeply at theputer’s screen. Aware of her concentration
on work, she remained unaware of my presence and uttered, “Enter unless it pertains to health matters
or food.”
My brows raised, hearing her words. Did she just say that? Wait, she thinks I am Sophia? Does she
have any sense of time?
I did not make a sound and walked toward her. I stood before the desk and stared at her. She was still
busy with her work, and suddenly, maybe she realized something was wrong and held her head up
only to gasp.
“Alessandro...!?”
“Yes, I am,” I replied, slightly sarcastic. I couldn’t help the displeasure.
She blinked her eyes at me and then scrunched her nose, “What happened? Why are you here? When
did youe?” She cutely scratched her nose.
I couldn’t hold the anger in me before her innocence. I sighed, holding the urge to roll my eyes at her.
“What time is it, Victoria?” I tried to sound firm and in control, not a-swayed-away husband.
She blinked again and then picked up the phone ced a little away from her. She watched the screen
and gasped once again.
“Oh, it’s seven thirty!”
She didn’t have the sense of time all this while!
“Yeah, it’s seven thirty!” My hands sped on her desk as I leaned a little forward. “And here you are,
still seated, engaged in some unknown activity on theputer! You didn’t even bother to wait for me
downstairs today andpletely disregarded your well-being!”
She smiled sheepishly, stood up from the chair, and walked toward me. “Well, I...”
I raised my hand to stop her.
“Nope! No, stay away.” I said firmly, not letting her adorable look control me!
However, she appeared to have the intelligence to manipte the situation as she promptly held my
hand and ttered hershes at me with a slight pout. “I am sorry, baby.”
And I melted away! Danm me!
She took the chance and got close to me, her arms wrapped around my neck, taking me into a sweet
kiss.
Her green eyes turned to me, lit up, and she smiled. “Thank you so much, Aless!” She said, breaking
the kiss.
“For?” I raised my brow at her.
“I am selected for the bid! I can participate in the exhibition all because of you! Thank you! They only
wanted me as an independent designer and not presenting E Shine, but I am happy! I have already
discussed this with Antonio, and he ispletely fine with the arrangement.” She hugged me again,
and I smiled, knowing she was happy.
I will go to great lengths to ensure this woman’s happiness. Even if it means my death, I will embrace it
joyfully and without hesitation.
“So, you were working on that design all day?” I asked, not sounding so pleased.
She pouted and nodded her head. “It’s a great opportunity, but there are only fifteen days to go. I need
to work on the design daily,” She said, pouting a little.
“But, don’t you usually work with pen and paper? In a little old fashion way?” I asked, ncing at the
“Well, I usually do. But, this design is very special, and I need to do some experimental graphics for
that, so...” She shrugged.
“Okay, but it’s done for today. Now, let’s go. You are bing rebellious day by day!” I picked her up in
my arms in a bridal style.
Victoria gasped, “Wait, I didn’t...!”
“No worries about that!” I walked out with Victoria in my arms, or she would spend the whole night here
too!
************
Even though I brought her out of the office that night, Victoria stayedpletely in the office room for
the next few days, spending most of her time in front of theputer designing the drawings. At some
point, she didn’t even allow me to enter, only on one condition: she needed to take her meals and

enough water and rest on time, which she agreed to.
These days, I was responsible for cooking for her every day.
After working tirelessly for thirteen days and making many sacrifices, Victoria finally finished her
design. While I was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, she called me from the home office to share
the good news.
Delighted by her words, she invited me to join her upstairs.
Excitedly, I hurried into the office, only to discover her joyfully observing the design she had crafted. I
am so excited to see it; she didn’t let me see it these thirteen days!
As soon as I walked in, she greeted me enthusiastically and gestured towards the chair beside her,
which she seemed to have prepared for me while patting it lovingly.
I went there and sat beside her. She turned theputer a little to me for a better view and asked,
“How is it? What do you think?” Her voice filled with excitement.
The moment my eyes fell on the design, my eyes were stuck on the screen.
Theputer showed a dark blue and a mysterious colour that, at first nce, it looked like I was
travelling through a time warp, surrounded by a gorgeous neb.
I was stunned by the design. Honestly, I never expected Victoria to be so talented!
I turned to my woman, feeling so damn proud! Her confidence was so freaking true the first time! She
deserves a chance!
“What is the inspiration behind this design?” I asked.
Victoria cleared her throat and then turned to me as she started to tell me about her design concept.
“This is the first design I have created using theputer. It’s very special, and I named it ‘Vast Eye’.
Just look at the endless nebe like a pair of eyes. I think this exhibition will be the first tform for me
to showcase my designing skills as a designer and not just as the CEO of E Shine.”
She looked at me with her bright eyes full of happiness and excitement about the unknown future.
“What do you think?” Victoria asked, staring at me with her big, fluttering, enchanting green eyes, only
to set the fire of lust inside my body after thirteen long days of separation!
