Chapter 792 - Stolen Kisses

Bianca blinked several times, still couldn't believe that Clifford was kissing her right now in front of her mother. Their lips were still connected, her heart running wild inside her chest.

She didn't know what had gotten him to do this. He told her mother that he was her boyfriend and now he was kissing her to prove it to her mom.

Bianca froze in her seat. She couldn't push him away. In the end, she closed her eyes and responded to him. They just broke apart when Bianca's mother cleared her throat, reminding them that Clifford and Bianca were not alone there.

"Alright! Now, I believe the two of you. But why didn't you tell me right away? You even deny it, telling me he is just your boss." Bianca's mother questioned the two of them.

Bianca didn't pay attention to her mother's words. She was still dazed because of that sudden kiss. With her absentminded expression, Bianca traced her lips using her fingers.

Clifford smiled inwardly seeing her expression. Then he turned to Bianca's mother to answer her question.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. It's just that we didn't expect your arrival today so we are not prepared. And I'm afraid that you will not like me to be her boyfriend because I'm her boss."

Bianca was pulled out of her stupor upon hearing Clifford's voice. She arched her eyebrows in amusement. She still didn't understand his motive for doing this.

Meanwhile, Bianca's mother giggled cheerfully as she was satisfied by this discovery. She was so happy that finally, her picky daughter got a boyfriend!

Brandon Cullens didn't click after the matchmaking but she was glad that Clifford became Bianca's boyfriend.

Later on, she realized something. Bianca's mother suddenly hit her in the shoulder. 

"Why did you agree to go on a blind date if you already have a boyfriend? Are you trying to cheat on your boyfriend!"

Clifford jolted upon seeing her mother hitting Bianca's shoulder. He immediately shielded Bianca from her mother by hugging her. He was worried that Bianca would get hurt since she just got discharged from the hospital. Her mother had no idea that she underwent surgery after getting shot near her heart.

Bianca's mother was surprised by Clifford's protective gesture. She began to like him more because she wanted her daughter to find a man who would protect her and pamper her. 

All her life and her career focused on serving the military and protecting people, this time her mother wanted her to experience being protected by someone as well.

"Ma'am, please don't blame Bianca. She is not trying to cheat on me. Brandon is my friend. She knew it. I allow her to do the blind date since my friend needs someone to talk to as he is heartbroken," Clifford explained, making up some alibis.

"Oh, so that's the case. Forgive me if I jump to conclusions right away. By the way, don't call me Ma'am. Just call me Aunty… or if you want, just make it Mom! Letter O not A!" Bianca's mother suggested enthusiastically.

"Ok, Aunty…" Clifford chose to call her Aunty because it would be awkward to call her Mom. He was not used to that and he needed to adjust first.

Bianca was still speechless by this turn of events. She had never imagined that Clifford would be this shameless, doing what he wanted without even consulting her.

Clifford and her mother began talking to each other as if Bianca was the third party there. The two were getting along very well. Her mother continued interviewing Clifford, getting to know him more.

Clifford was so obedient and respectful to her mother, patiently answering all her questions even the silliest ones. He was like a real boyfriend who was trying to gain favor from his girlfriend's mother.

Bianca could only watch them on the sideline. She was now the one cooperating with Clifford, playing along with this girlfriend-boyfriend thing.

When she got the chance, Bianca pulled Clifford to her room while her mother was talking to her father over the phone.

Bianca made sure to lock the door so that her mom would not be able to barge into her room while they were still talking.

"What is this all about? Why did you do that? My mom will not stop bugging you now. She will invite you to meet our whole family. She would tell everyone I got a boyfriend who is a CEO of Sy Corp." 

"This will be a great problem for both of us. It will just take time that my mother will find out that we are just faking this. I will be doomed! She might disown me as her daughter for lying!" Bianca spoke spontaneously.

Clifford smirked and said, "I don't mind pretending. I guess it is gonna be fun. Don't get mad. I'm helping you out here. I'm doing you a favor by pretending as your boyfriend. But if you don't like it, then just tell me…"

Clifford paused for two seconds as he moved closer to her, holding her shoulders. He looked into her eyes and continued his words.

"Just tell me if you want to make it real, not fake."

Bianca's jaw dropped once again, her eyes looking at him with disbelief. She could feel her cheeks getting hot, her heart thumping so hard and rapidly against the wall of her chest. She was utterly speechless.

Seeing her silly reaction, Clifford couldn't help but chuckle. He lifted her chin while saying, "Hey, don't do that in front of me. Close your mouth otherwise, I will be tempted to seal that lips of yours!"

Bianca automatically closed her mouth when she heard that while Clifford let out another husky laugh. He didn't expect that teasing Bianca would be this fun. 

He liked the way she was getting flustered because of him. He wondered if his charm was working on her. As time went by, Clifford's playful side was coming out. It only happened when Bianca was with him.

He didn't hate the fact that he was slowly changing back to his previous self. His sister was right. It felt so good smiling and laughing more often than maintaining his grumpy look. And he started to do it once again because of Bianca's presence.

On the other hand, Bianca didn't like the fact that Clifford was playing with her emotions. She still couldn't figure out his true motive. He was not even giving her a proper answer to all her queries.

"Hey! CEO Sy, I'm not joking! I'm serious!" Bianca raised her voice in annoyance.

"What the hell are you– uhm" Bianca was not able to finish her words as soft lips already sealed her lips.

Her heart almost jumped out of her heart as Clifford kissed her lips once more. 'Damn! What is he doing?'

Though she wanted to complain, Bianca couldn't resist him. Just when she thought he would deepen the kiss, Clifford suddenly drew back, making her disappointed.

"I have to kiss you because you are becoming noisy. What if your Mom will hear your voice while nagging me. Our cover will be ruined." Clifford said, partly lying since he also did it because he just wanted to kiss her soft lips over and over again.

This Cold CEO turned so playful, taking advantage of the situation. Bianca didn't know how she could deal with this man. 

"You stole a kiss from me?! Again?!" She complained in a low voice, glaring at him

"Hey, why are you whispering. These words are the ones that should be said out loud so that your Mom could hear us. It will convince her more that we are not just pretending." Clifford said cheekily, ignoring her glare.

Bianca narrowed her eyes at him. "Mr. Clifford Sy, when did you become as shameless as this?"

"After meeting you," Clifford replied matter-of-factly.

Bianca: "..."

"Hmm, let's go back now to your mother. She might be wondering by now why we are here inside your room." Clifford diverted the topic right away, holding Bianca's shoulder as he turned her around going to the closed door.

Bianca just lazily dragged her feet while shaking her head helplessly. She conceded defeat today. Clifford won because of his shamelessness.

But she had to admit that her heart was fluttering and she felt like there were butterflies in her stomach. She had been kissed by a handsome CEO twice in a row.

When they opened the door, they saw Bianca's mom who was about to lean on the door. She was planning to eavesdrop on them but it was already too late.

Gosh. It was so awkward getting caught by her daughter and her boyfriend in that situation.

"Mom! What are you doing? Are you trying to spy on us?" Bianca said exasperatedly.

Bianca's mother just smiled sheepishly while rubbing her nose. "Of course not! I'm about to knock when the door suddenly opened up." 

"Mom! You are a terrible liar." Bianca watched her mother in disbelief.

Clifford could only smile watching the interaction of the mother and daughter duo.
