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

~ Sy Corp ~

Clifford was working on his laptop when his assistant, Dexter, entered his office.

"Sir…"

Clifford raised his head, shifting his gaze from his laptop to his assistant. He paused what he was doing and faced Dexter.

"What is it?" Clifford asked him.

"A director from Bancroft\'s Company and other directors from four companies are here to see you. We don\'t have prior appointments with them but it seems like they came here to see you as an urgent matter." Dexter informed Clifford.

"Do you wish to see them?"

Clifford\'s eyebrows knitted into a frown. "They came here without prior appointment… So why do you think I should wish to see them?"

"According to my source, Heavenly Star is working on a new project and Bancroft\'s Company is supposed to be its partner. But for some unknown reason, the Heavenly Star put Bancroft\'s Company to their blacklisted company along with the other four companies."

Clifford laughed dryly. "If they are blacklisted by the Heavenly Star, then why should I see them? Maybe these companies are troublemakers, that\'s why they are banned by Heavenly Star."

"If that\'s the case then we should be wary against them and not associate our company with them," Clifford said firmly. He was just being cautious.

Dexter scratched his face. "Sir, the truth is… these companies didn\'t do something wrong or something illegal. It\'s just that some family members from these companies had offended the CEO of Heavenly Star, that\'s why they were blacklisted."

"In other words, Tristan just did it for personal reasons. It is not business-wise," Dexter added that caught Clifford\'s interest.

"Oh, is that so? So someone offended the CEO of Heavenly Star," Clifford chuckled.

"Well, I like them. Let them in. I will talk to them." Clifford finally allowed the directors who came to see him.

\'The enemies of my enemy are my friends,\' he thought to himself.

"Oh sir, one more thing…" Dexter remembered something.

"Our people had accomplished their task. They created trouble overseas. The Heavenly Star will soon hear the good news," Dexter said cheerfully, informing Clifford.

A sly smile appeared on Clifford\'s face when he heard that. "Good job, Dex. Give them a bonus for their hard work."

Dexter nodded at him with a smile before leaving the office.

Clifford stood up to pour wine on his glass. He was in a good mood. Everything was working according to his plan.

"Tristan Davis… it\'s time to separate you from your wife. Let\'s see what will be your reaction once you come back after fixing the problem overseas. I will give you a pleasant surprise."

~ Heavenly Star Enterprise ~

Yesterday, the management of Heavenly Star Enterprise had a meeting for weekly updates. Today, they have gathered again for an emergency meeting. Two of their branches overseas had encountered some serious problems.

Some potential investors backed out at the last minute because someone intervened. It would also affect their upcoming product launching in the two branches. They also received lots of complaints from overseas clients regarding the products they were selling.

"Chairman Lu, we should take action for this problem as soon as possible before the situation gets worse. We should avoid getting more losses," One of the Directors shared his thoughts with the group.

"Okay, we will send representatives overseas to fix the issue," Chairman Lu said after hearing the concerns.

The manager from overseas who was managing the other branch was also attending the meeting. He was on a skype call. He also raised another concern.

"Chairman Lu, I think it\'s better to send our CEO here to fix the issue. Our important Client and other investors will only talk to the CEO or other members of the Davis Family. They want to make sure we are really sincere in taking action to solve the problem." The Manager suggested to them.

The other manager from the second branch also spoke up, "Same here. We also received the same demands from them. If we will not take action, Sy Corp will get those multi-billion dollar deals. I suspect they are the ones responsible for this. They are trying to steal our resources."

"It seems that Sy Corp is declaring war against our company," Andrew commented as he watched Tristan meaningfully.

Tristan was very silent. He didn\'t want to leave and go overseas just to fix the problem. But the directors and the manager were suggesting that the CEO should come personally to resolve the issue.

\'If I leave then Zhen-Zhen and I will be separated for days and weeks. I don\'t want that to happen. But I can\'t neglect my responsibility as the CEO of this company.\' Tristan was having conflicting thoughts right now.

Grandpa Lu and Andrew were both observing Tristan silently. They could see that he was in deep thought right now. The other directors were all waiting for Tristan and Grandpa Lu\'s decision regarding this matter.

Andrew could feel that Tristan was reluctant to leave so he decided to volunteer. "I can go to the other branch."

Director Go and others felt satisfied after seeing Andrew stepping up to solve the issue. They were still rooting for Andrew to become the CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprise.

With the influence of Mr. Miller, Director Go and his accomplices had not yet stopped looking for an opportunity wherein they could attack Tristan to oust him out of his CEO\'s position.

But the manager reminded them that the two branches needed help from CEO Davis. If Andrew would go to one branch then Tristan must go to the other branch.

Grandpa Lu let Tristan decide on his own. He didn\'t want to influence his decision. Grandpa Lu could also see the hesitation in Tristan\'s hazel eyes.

No matter what decision Tristan would choose, Grandpa Lu would respect it and support him.

After his long silence, Tristan finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath before speaking to them.

"Alright. I will go to the other branch. When do we need to leave?" Tristan said with his saddened voice. It felt like he was just forcing himself to do this.

"The day after tomorrow. You should come as soon as possible." The manager of the branch answered him.

\'What?! The day after tomorrow?! Argh… I will get separated from my wife so early… Can I handle this?\' Tristan felt like crying at that thought.
