I don't remember what happened before, I just saw myself sitting inside his car. He was busy driving while singing along to the song on the radio, I kept staring at him even more.I just want to turn off the radio and listen to his voice alone."Are you planning to pierce my cheek with your gaze?" He joked without looking at me."N-no, I'm just surprised that you can sing too. It's so obvious that the world favors you too much, I’m confident you are also aware of it.” I said bitterly, I made it crystal clear that I was envious about it.Though I did not mean to be like that, my mouth is starting to talk randomly because of the alcohol!"What do you think of me, it's not my fault I've been so blessed." He shrugged his shoulders and laughed softly. "Isn't it better like this? I mean, we talk without awkwardness between us.”How can I agree with what he said? Once the effect of alcohol has disappeared from my system, I will not be able to look at him again. Not a chance I can be like thi
Darius's POVA small grin started to form on my lips as I looked at her in the side mirror, If I will be honest, I've met hundreds of women in my life but she's one of the rarest funny ones. I never thought that in that one night, I would meet someone like her and to the extent that she's my secretary now.I was shocked when I saw her familiar face, I thought my eyes were just playing tricks on me. At first, I wanted to find her after she insulted me with the three thousand tips, I mean, I did my best to satisfy her how could three thousand…Ah, never mind about that.I immediately felt my senses every time I remembered the incident when I woke up and she was no longer by my side, she slapped me with her money as if I were a gigolo for real.I vowed that I would find her and I would make her realize that I'm more than that, but who would know that she is that kind of woman?Couldn't help but chuckle again, "Now, maybe I can drink a few cups of alcohol before going home."I went to the
"Lia!" I heard her scream as she immediately greeted me when I opened the door, her eyebrows almost tangled. "Why did you just come home, do you know what time is it and you didn't even manage to call us?!""Honey..." Dad tried to calm her but she gently pushed Dad's hand that was holding her.She stepped forward until she was only a few inches away from me, "Lia, think about your dad and me who are worried about you. We already let you last night to do whatever you want, and if you are angry because I said something bad to Sara then let me know; it's not like this that you made us worry."I opened my mouth but I couldn't say anything to what my Mom said, I didn't even know if I should speak or keep my mouth shut and let her say whatever she wanted. I know I’m wrong for not informing them about the welcome party but why did she jump to the conclusion that I'm doing it for them to worry?I just shook my head, "I'm sorry, it won't happen again.""Hey, how many times have I heard that fr
We are now sitting inside the car to go to the restaurant that Sir Darius asked me to reserve for the meeting, I look glance at him and outside the window. From earlier until now, no one has tried to speak.And, I have no idea how to lighten the atmosphere around me.I'm even more nervous for later, if he's not in the mood because of what happened, the meeting might be affected."What are you thinking, your face... Is your stomach hurt and you want to go to the bathroom?" Hesitant, he asked me.I felt ashamed, I know I'm not that physically beautiful but... Do I look like I need to do CR when I'm nervous?!"T-That's not it, Sir." I tried to laugh even though the truth was that I couldn't look at him anymore, "a-are you okay now, Sir?"His eyebrows almost met as he looked at me again with confusion, "What do you mean, I'm okay since earlier though.""No, I mean... Before we left the guy said something that made the atmosphere so awkward." I bit my lower lips, is it right to talk about
"What kind of question is that, Raziel?" Darius's voice was seriously threatening as he stared at Raziel, "Asking something like that is not appropriate, she's my secretary.""I did not ask something that will harm any of you, though." He looked at me, "Did you feel harassed by my question?""T-that's..." I looked at Darius, "I don't know." I quickly bent my head to avoid the two of them looking at me."See, she doesn't feel harassed at all. So why are you even reacting like that, Darius?” He asked as if teasing him more and more.Sir Darius was unable to answer when Rachel back again from the bathroom, “Hmm? Is there something wrong, why do you guys look like that?” She asked curiously while looking at us one after another."It's nothing, your brother is just being himself again in front of my secretary." Sir Darius said emphatically causing Rachel to laugh for reasons I don't know, and... but I don't want to know it at, though."Gosh, brother! When are you going to change that attit
"Come here, Lia" he called me as he sat on the swivel chair with his two legs apart, "you said you will do it right?"Even though my knees were getting soft, I slowly stepped closer to him, but the speed of my heart still couldn’t calm at all, especially since I could feel his gaze on my every move.“Stop!” I immediately stopped walking when he suddenly spoke, I couldn't stop myself from looking at him with surprise."Why?" I'm wondering, don't tell me that I'm doing something wrong and that he doesn't like it to the point he lost his interest now...His hand moved which was immediately followed by my gaze, his finger pointed to the middle place between his thighs, "Crawl over here, Lia." He ordered."T-That's..." I answered hesitantly, unable to think of the right words to say. I did not expect him to make me do something like that, is he really serious right now?I looked at him again and took a step back in shock, his eyes looking at me so deeply. I can feel the coldness every time
Darius's POV"Sir, are you there?" The woman on the other side of my office door asked, "I just wanted to ask something, our team leader is already busy."I first looked in the mirror to make sure I was presentable, "Yes, come in." I said cheerfully and smiled even though it hadn't entered yet.After a few moments, the door slowly opened and one of the designers entered, "Sir, I'm just here to ask your opinion about these designs." She showed the designs she came up with as she continued to discuss them.I looked at it carefully one by one and listened to every detail she said, "I think everything is fine, but this one stands out. This one most likely describes the summer fest, but there are still details that need some improvement.”"Hmm... It's good to hear that one of my designs is approved in your eyes sir, thank you." She again said but the tone of her voice changed, it became softer as her fingers crawled up my hand and my arm.Oh... So, it's not really about her design, I knew
Lia's POV'Perhaps you are jealous that someone is interested in me?'A question that kept echoing in my ears, am I jealous of that woman?"Lia, I'm asking you. Are you jealous that she was straightforward about doing something like that?” He brought his face closer to mine.I gulp repeatedly and pull my face away, "I don't know what you're talking about, there's no reason for me to be jealous."What could be the reason for me to be jealous, another thing is that the woman said that Sir Darius is a VIP member of the bar, which means that he didn't have a one-night stand just once."There is no reason for me to be jealous,” I repeat pretending to look at my cell phone to avoid his gaze, "it's late now, I should go home Sir."I forced my voice not to shake, I didn't want to sound forced. I want to make him feel that I don't care about it, that he's part of the VIP of the certain bar doesn't affect me at all.He was stunned for a few moments as if it finally dawned on him that what he wa
