The Contract CEO's Arrogant Pet

11-12

11. The CEO's Aura and Instant Suppression

The harmless "servant" expression on Lu Chen's face vanished instantly. The eyes beneath his black-rimmed glasses now emitted a cold, sharp light.

"Yulia, stay where you are. Don't move," his voice was deep, carrying the unmistakable authority of a ruler.

Yulia was stunned by the sudden aura—a human power she had never witnessed.

Lu Chen grabbed his hidden encrypted phone with lightning speed, his fingers flying across the screen.

"Activate Protocol B, lock the data stream. Isolate! Isolation must be complete within one minute!" he issued concise, decisive commands into the phone, as if commanding a military operation.

Yulia only saw him roar coldly at the "magic box," and then the red light on the computer screen instantly died down. The crisis, just moments before millions of dollars in data were about to crash, was instantly averted.

12. The Clumsy Cover-Up and the Noble's Pride

Lu Chen put down the phone, took a deep breath, and the cold expression on his face instantly melted back into fear and helplessness.

He put back on his "servant" mask and offered Yulia a groveling smile.

"Mistress, what were you doing just now?" Yulia asked, her eyes full of curiosity and a hint of unease.

Lu Chen pointed at the scorched laptop, pretending to be terrified:

"Oh dear, Mistress, I was just playing a new mobile game—'CEO Simulator.' I pressed an 'Instant Speed-up' button, hoping my game character would instantly become the world's richest man. And well, it threw a tantrum."

A flash of aristocratic pride crossed Yulia's face.

"See? I told you these electronic boxes are untrustworthy. But worry not, servant. Those evil noises were just now suppressed by my incantation."

She believed her ancient magic had saved Lu Chen and was quite pleased with herself. Lu Chen looked at her clumsy confidence, shook his head helplessly, yet a doting smile curled on his lips.

"It seems I'll have to keep playing the role of the weak human for a little while longer."
