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

Liam proceeded to his next class together with Olive. As their agreement a while ago, Liam would allow Olive to talk to Zhen-Zhen for ten to fifteen minutes. He would excuse Zhen-Zhen in his class for that duration.

Liam was the only one who entered the class session hall. Everyone was already there waiting for him. The students politely greeted Liam and he greeted them back. Then his eyes roamed around the room to search for Zhen-Zhen.

Liam smiled the moment he found her in her favorite spot- the last seat at the right corner of the room near the window. He immediately called out her attention.

"Miss Meyer, come here. There's something I wanna tell you."

Zhen-Zhen stood up from her seat and walked over to approach Liam. The other students looked at them with intrigue. They were curious about what Liam would tell her.

When Zhen-Zhen reached him, he briefly explained the reason why he called her.

"Lillie, I have a friend who wants to meet you. She's outside this hall, waiting for you. Can you spare her ten to fifteen minutes of your time? It seems that she's here to offer you something. Do you want to see and talk to her?"

At first, Zhen-Zhen was surprised that Liam's friend came to see her. She had no idea what kind of offer Liam was referring to, that's why she became more curious about his friend.

"Okay, sir. I will see her now," Zhen-Zhen said with a smile.

Liam frowned a little. He was not yet used to being called sir by Zhen-Zhen. She was calling her that whenever they were in a class. Though it was understandable, he would still prefer to hear her calling him by his first name.

"Alright. Go now. Since she's my friend I can't refuse her request so I allow her to see you during my class." Liam said while sighing helplessly.

"However, I don't want you to miss most of our class today so I only give her ten to fifteen minutes to talk to you. After that time limit, come back here fast. Is that clear?" Liam added, informing Zhen-Zhen that she needed to come back as soon as possible.

A soft giggle escaped her mouth before nodding her head. "Understood, sir! I'll come back, ASAP!"

Liam's lips tugged upward into a gentle smile, his eyes gleaming with humor and amusement as he watched Zhen-Zhen leave the room while waving at him.

That simple action didn't escape Alicia's and Betsy's observant eyes. They couldn't help but talk about Zhen-Zhen and Liam.

"Hey, did you see that? Prof. Liam and Lillie look very friendly toward each other as if they are not in a teacher-student relationship but more of a 'close friends relationship," Betsy whispered to Alicia.

Alicia nodded in agreement, feeling a little bit jealous. "Lillie is so lucky. She's dating Tristan Davis. And now, we can see that the most gorgeous professor here is very fond of her. Now that she stops disguising herself, she is attracting handsome men not only in this campus."

"She became popular in an instant. The famous ladies like Athena and Jade were finally beaten but they were replaced by Lillie who is much more beautiful than them.

"And do you know the most depressing part? We are just becoming famous because we stick to her, pretending to be her close friends. But we can never outshine her. She's not rich but her beauty and brain are beyond our reach." Alicia mumbled, sharing her frustrations with Betsy.

Betsy patted Alicia's shoulder. "Cheer up, Alicia. Don't be sad. Just enjoy this moment while we are still benefiting from this relationship. And regarding Tristan Davis, I don't think she's that lucky enough to date him."

"Why do you think so?" Alicia asked Betsy in confusion.

"Well, everyone from the City of Empire knows the bad reputation of Tristan Davis when it comes to women. He has a lot of women. Lillie is just one of them. Once he gets tired of her then he will eventually dump her. You still have the chance if you still want to experience dating him." Betsy said, consoling Alicia.

After hearing that, Alicia's mood brightened up a little. She's feeling better now. She realized that Betsy was right. Tristan Davis would never stick to one woman. He was changing his women as if he was just changing clothes.

Meanwhile, the girl whom Alicia and Betsy were talking about just met Liam's friend outside the session hall. Zhen-Zhen was dumbfounded for a moment when she recognized the girl.

'Eh, she's Clifford's ex-fiancee. I didn't expect that she's the friend Liam was referring to. I wonder what offer she wants to tell me,' Zhen-Zhen thought inwardly.

"Hi, Lillie, we met again. I apologize for taking you away from your class. I just want to talk to you. Is it alright?" Olive was the one who spoke up first.

Zhen-Zhen smiled at her and responded, "Yes, I don't mind. What do you want to talk about?"

"By the way, I am Olive Patterson. I am a fashion designer. I work both locally and internationally. Have you heard about the A&R clothing brand? My family owns that company. I am managing our branches abroad," Olive introduced herself as well as her background to Zhen-Zhen.

She didn't know what got into her but she just felt like boasting her career and background to Zhen-Zhen. She just wanted to look good in front of her, telling her how amazing and successful she was in her chosen career.

Deep inside, she was hoping that by doing this Zhen-Zhen would feel intimidated by her. Olive wanted to emphasize the gap between them… most especially their social status.

She heard from Liam that Lillie Meyer was a scholar from this school so she assumed that she did not come from a wealthy family. She got her scholarship after topping the Education Placement Examination.

She knew that students who took EPE didn't attend high school. Students who were older enough to attend high school were taking the Education Placement Examination so that they would be allowed to enter college without the need to graduate from high school.

When she heard that information from Liam, her insecurities toward Zhen-Zhen just disappeared. However, she couldn't accept the fact that Clifford would date someone like her just because of her physical appearance. Furthermore, she was still a college student, not even a successful woman.

She thought she was still better than her. She gained more confidence in winning Clifford back. Aside from that, she knew that Clifford's family would not allow him to marry someone who didn't belong to a prominent family.

Olive had no idea that Zhen-Zhen was already married to Tristan Davis.  Liam didn't mention anything to her regarding Zhen-Zhen's connection to the Davis Family. Liam was aware that it was not his place to talk about Zhen-Zhen's family.

He just told Olive some information regarding her studies. And since he mentioned Zhen-Zhen as being a scholar, Olive asked him how she was able to obtain that scholarship.

He was proud of her so Liam told Olive that Zhen-Zhen topped the Education Placement examination. But he didn't mean to emphasize that Zhen-Zhen didn't attend high school. It was Olive who assumed about her ordinary background.

Zhen-Zhen, on the other hand, was not intimidated at all after hearing Olive's successful career and background. In the first place, she had no reason to feel intimidated nor feel jealous of her.

She was just fascinated by her career and achievement. She thought only men were busy managing companies but Olive was also managing their family business. Because of that Zhen-Zhen gained inspiration.

'I think I  should also help Tristan in managing the company in the future. I don't want to see him getting tired and stressed because of work. I should assist him too,' Zhen-Zhen thought to herself.

"Hi, Miss Olive, I'm glad to see you here. It's my honor to meet the owner of this famous clothing Brand A&R. By the way, Sir Liam mentioned that you want to talk to me about some offer. What is it all about?" Zhen-Zhen asked her again.

Olive frowned upon noticing her enthusiasm. She didn't get the reaction she wanted from her. Zhen-Zhen didn't look intimidated at all as if she didn't care about what she had just said moments ago. She even asked her directly about her intention of seeing her today.

'Is she pretending not to care or she is just really shameless? Is she dating Clifford just for his money? I can't figure her out. She is acting very friendly and it doesn't feel like she's faking it. I wonder if she doesn't know yet that I am Clifford's ex-fiancee,' Olive pondered at that thought. Many more speculations were running in her mind right now.

'All I need to do is to test her. She will show her true color once I provoke her. I hate it when she's acting very kind and friendly like this.'

"Oh, before that, let me ask you something first," Olive told Zhen-Zhen while looking at her intently.

"Hmm, sure."

"Lillie… do you know that I am Clifford's ex-fiancee?"
