My Emotionless Goddess

9



After Miranda entered the room, she shut the door behind her. She needed to call her assistant and make several adjustments to her schedule. Now that she can’t go to the office, she’ll be forced to work from home and that includes attending meetings online.

Weeks went by with Miranda still staying at Justin’s villa. For some reason, the news about the CEO of Lambert group being seen kissing Justin kept getting more attention every day. people were discussing why would an independent woman like her get involved with a scandalous man like Justin, ofcourse Justin’s fans would stand by and accuse Miranda of seducing their idol.

Some people even started speculating that maybe she was ugly despite being rich, that’s why she tried to create a scandal with Justin. Others said that maybe she was old and wanted to trap Justin into marriage using the scandal.

Seeing the two presenters on TV talking about it, Miranda scoffed. How could people be so idle as to sit down and start discussing her? Were the media houses short of new scoops go broadcast lately. Then why not go to the orphanages and report the situation of those children to the masses.

” What are you doing?” Justin who just entered the house asked.

” Watching as people waste their time and your fans becoming more stupid each day.” Miranda answered, her voice not oh so pleasant.

” Are you blaming me?” Justin asked.

” How can I blame you for your senseless fans, it’s just that a person’s character determines what kind of people support him or her.” Miranda attacked him tactfully.

” Are you perhaps calling me senseless?” Justin asked, his voice raised . He couldn’t believe this woman. She was in his house but didn’t mind filtering her words when talking to him. The past three weeks had passed by peacefully. Despite staying in the same house, the two of them avoided each other like a plague. They rarely talked except exchanging a few lines when necessary.

Justin always wondered why she was so serious, always wearing an emotionless face but what made him wonder more was her glib tongue. Worst was that she didn’t take him seriously. Justin was a man with a huge ego and was used to ladies dying for his attention but she was different. She would rather not be in the same space with him.

One day he had decided to ask her why she ignored him and her answer baffled him at the same time angering him.

” Why do you keep avoiding me?” he had asked.

The lady walking upstairs by then had stopped walking before turning to look at him.

” Why shouldn’t I? you are not Rich, not powerful, your looks are just average and your IQ is low.” she had dropped the bomb on him and walked away like she had just replied a good morning greeting.

Justin had choked on his saliva as he felt a huge lump form on his throat.

Not rich? wasn’t he ranked in the top ten billionaires?

Not powerful? wasn’t he the crown prince of the country, of course she did not know that. Besides, his power was only in the name itself.

He wasn’t good looking? But why did he earn the title of most handsome in the entertainment industry?

His IQ? wasn’t he above average?

Wasn’t that akin to being called stupid?

But Justin could do nothing but stomach those insults? What else could he do?

” You said so yourself, I didn’t say that.” Miranda said with a straight face.

Actually, Miranda was just angry that even after three damn weeks, she was still trending in the searches. She had thought that after a week, everything would go back to normal, that a new scandal would be out but nothing. It’s like someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes and true to her thoughts, someone was indeed doing that. But who?

” Anyway I won’t talk to you anymore, I don’t want you projecting your frustrations onto me.” Justin said and started walking upstairs.

” It’s not like I want to hear your unpleasant voice.” Miranda replied, although she said it more to herself, Justin still heard her.

” What did you say?” he asked even knowing she wouldn’t reply to him and true to his thoughts, Miranda ignored him.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

” I wonder who would Marry a woman like you, I pity your boyfriend.” Justin said intending to get back at her.

When Miranda heard him, her brain got fried. Maybe he was right. Who could marry a woman like her? she might be beautiful, yes, but she was headstrong. She was the typical Alpha female. She also knew that she had trust issues not to mention that she rarely laughed. Her friend would tease her calling her the ice beauty. To get a reaction from her, you would have to sweat a lot.

Miranda understood that men preferred charming and easygoing women, that’s what Carlos told her, that he wouldn’t want to take a stone back home, safe might turn his house into a freezer. Those words hurt Miranda the most, they were more hurtful than him telling her that he didn’t want a fellow man in the house.

It wasn’t her fault that she grew up expressionless and Cold, the circumstances forced her to be like that. Since she was young, she was trained to be the queen, a queen to rule with an iron fist in her kingdom. Turning eighteen, she lost the only family she had, her grandfather, so she had to take over the Lambert group at such an early age.

The business world was like a fierce martial competition, it’s either you win or die. She had to toughen up and take over the multi billion company. It was no easy task dealing with those huge sharks threatening to swallow her whole but with an iron fist, she sat at the crown and manoeuvred her sailing ship safely.

Not many knew the identity of the CEO of Lambert group until recently she got trapped in a scandal with this useless Man.
