Kira then picked up the phone handle and pressed a button that connected her to the boss. After a short while, Kira said to Tony, "Just go in. Mr. Grey is waiting."
Tony nodded and knocked twice on the boss's office door. It was a rule in that place. The number of knocks indicated the purpose. If the knock was twice, it meant that it was related to an employee. If the knock was done three times, it was related to work.
After knocking, Tony turned the doorknob and opened the door. When the door opened, a man was seen bowing in front of the desk, signing some papers. Tony approached, as did Keyara.
"Sir, I want to introduce the new staff in the Character Design division."
The man who was bowing raised his face, and at that moment, Keyara's eyes widened, even without her realizing it, her mouth opened.
Although it was dark at that time, Keyara would not easily forget the man whom she had either kissed or been kissed by at the Nightclub. Now, amid a room with clearer lighting, Keyara only realized that the man was so handsome with sharp eyes, thick eyebrows, a sharp nose, and slightly thick lips.
When Grey saw Keyara, the boss was surprised that his chair shifted. But he managed to control himself.
Grey never expected that the woman who stole a kiss from him at the club would appear before him at that moment. Grey had tried to chase the girl out of the club. But the mysterious woman disappeared with the roar of a metallic sedan.
It was not usual for Grey to stand up to welcome new staff. Usually, he just looked from behind his desk, without standing up, spoke briefly, and then asked the new staff to leave and immediately join their team.
However, this time was different. Grey stood up from his seat, then he came out from behind his desk and buttoned his jacket. His eyes swept over Keyara carefully, making her feel uneasy.
"What's your name?" Grey asked before Tony introduced himself.
"My name is Keyara, Sir."
"Hm, Keyara ... Key ... your nickname must be Key?"
Keyara, whose heart had been uncontrollably pounding since earlier, tried to hold herself back.
The girl nodded when Grey mentioned her nickname. Grey's eyes were still fixed on Keyara as if scanning her entire body. Key felt like his gaze pierced through to her innermost being.
Grey smiled and then moved his hand towards Tony. "Tony, you go out first, I want to ask our new staff something." Grey's words made Keyara's heart beat faster like a shuttlecock ... damn, why did it have to be so scary?
Tony, who was standing next to Keyara, looked confused.
When Keyara looked at him, their eyes met, and Keyara felt sorry for him. It was as if Tony's eyes were saying that Keyara had to face her problem.
Keyara winced, feeling all the hair on her body stand on end suddenly due to the tension.
Tony followed the boss's orders and immediately left the boss's office, leaving Keyara alone with the cold lion in the wilderness.
Grey walked towards his desk, leaning his hip against the side of the desk. He folded his arms across his chest while looking at Keyara, who seemed to have shrunk in size.
"Last night I was looking for you," he said briefly as a perfect opening that made Keyara hold her breath for two seconds. "You're very good at running away. Maybe your parents were former runners, which is why you disappeared so quickly," Grey sneered, making Keyara stiffen in place.
Keyara Gulped, her words seemed to lump in her throat and were unable to come out. The language got stuck in her head and her usually talkative lips were tightly sealed. Grey seemed to enjoy the intimidation he gave to Keyara, even casually throwing sharp glances in her direction.
Then, Grey casually took the phone handle and pressed the button connected to his secretary, "Kira, please bring Keyara's data. She's a new employee in the Character Design division." After saying that, Grey then hung up the phone and stood up again, still staring at Keyara. Grey knew that the woman in front of him must feel awkward and helpless facing him. Grey felt proud that he had managed to suppress the daring girl who had dared to kiss him at the club.
Not long after, Kira came in carrying a data sheet. For a moment, Kira was surprised to see Keyara standing and her boss sitting leaning on the side of the table.
Unconsciously, Kira also felt sorry to see such a position. Everyone in the office knew what Grey Reed was like. A wealthy bachelor, CEO of Gametopya. He was as fierce as a guard dog catching a thief, and his decisions were brilliant. A man who was loved by many women and feared by employees.
"Here it is, Sir, the data you asked for," Kira said while handing Keyara's data sheet. Grey took it, read it quickly, and then moved his hand to signal Kira to leave the room. Kira then left, throwing a glance at Keyara for a moment, then the secretary frowned and left the room.
"Well, Keyara Jhonson, you're 24 years old, a graduate of IT. You're interested in character design and skilled in drawing and design. Your birthday is in two months, right?" Grey read the data he brought to Keyara, making the girl even more helpless.
Grey put down the paper, then walked towards Keyara, "Do you know why I'm keeping you here for so long?"
Keyara immediately raised her head, which had been lowered since she entered Grey's room. For the first time in ten minutes, Keyara dared to look into her boss's face.
"Sir, if you want to discuss yesterday's incident, I'm sorry. It was just an accident. I swear, if I knew it was you, I wouldn't have done it..." Keyara stopped her words, swallowing her bitter saliva before continuing, "I would never do that to you..." Keyara replied softly.
"So, you would do it to any other man? Is that what you mean?" Grey asked, making Keyara even more restless and nervous.
"No, Sir, it was just a game...a game I played with my friends," Keyara's voice grew quieter.
Now Grey nodded, "I see. I understand. So, you lost in the Truth or Dare game and accepted the challenge to kiss a man--any man? Is that right?"
Keyara's face turned red with embarrassment, and as she had no right answer, she just nodded.
"Lift your head, Key..." Suddenly, Grey pressed Keyara's chin until she looked up. "If you like games, I'll give you a similar game to your Truth or Dare. You have to answer my questions, and if your answer is wrong, you'll receive a punishment. Do you understand?"
"Uh, Sir, why?" Keyara protested immediately.
"Wrong answer!"
Suddenly, Grey kissed Keyara's lips, making the girl freeze.
Keyara pushed Grey's body away from her. Her face turned even redder as she wiped her lips with her arm, so hard that she felt a burning sensation on them."Sir!" Keyara exclaimed in panic, her eyes widened in anger, and she gritted her teeth to hold back the emotions that were about to explode from within her."As I said before if you answer incorrectly, the punishment is a kiss. How about it, isn't this similar to your game?" Grey said without any remorse."You can't do that, it's harassment!" Keyara answered fiercely."Oh, harassment? So what you did to me back then should also be considered harassment. Suddenly patting someone's shoulder and kissing them like that. Do you think that's not harassment? Don't think that only women can call it harassment, men can too!" Grey spoke harshly, and his words made Keyara silent."Listen, you started this game, so I will continue it. As long as you work here, you cannot avoid this game. I will ask and you will answer. If your answer deviates
When all of his subordinates went for lunch, Grey, who was looking at his laptop screen, suddenly smiled to himself. The man then touched his lips and felt the sensation of a kiss.He looked at his laptop screen. It was time for lunch. He seemed to be ready to leave soon. However, his phone suddenly vibrated. Grey frowned. He reached for his phone and saw the name displayed on the screen. The smile on his face disappeared."Hello?" he answered."Grey, I'm glad you picked up my call. Guess where I am?" the voice on the phone sounded cheerful. But Grey's face didn't show any feelings like that."What do you want? Why did you call?" Grey asked coldly."Oh, are you still angry? Why do you answer me like that? Listen, I'm in front of your office building now. Let's have lunch together. How about it?" Hela's voice sounded cheerful. She seemed to ignore Grey's cold response."I already have plans," Grey refused."Oh, come on. I know you're lying. Let's have lunch together as we used to," the
Hela looked at her cute watch wrapped around her wrist. Several times she glanced towards the office door, hoping Grey would come out soon. She had prepared dozens of sweet words to persuade Grey to come back to her. Grey would come back, ah no, he must come back to her.Their relationship had been going on for a long time, and Hela felt attached to Grey. The only two men who could tolerate all her ego were her brother and Grey.Hela had liked Grey since she first met him. Her brother Ares introduced Grey to her. Grey and Ares were friends during their college years. They were both brilliant and handsome on campus.Then, Hela saw Grey coming out of the office door. The security guard was polite to Grey. Hela felt happy, her waiting was not in vain, and she was sure they would reconcile as before.As Grey walked past the office towards Hela, Keyara and her colleagues passed by and crossed paths with Grey.Grey was momentarily shocked, as was Keyara."Hello, sir," Tony greeted his boss
"Honk!! Honk!!" The horn echoed loudly. Just in time, Grey slammed the steering wheel back in the opposite direction. However, some cars had to hit their brakes hard and yelled. "Do you want to die!! Idiot!" yelled one driver angrily. Grey gasped. Only for a split second, if his reflexes weren't good, he and Hela would have been in an accident. Grey, who had already stopped his car on the side of the road, now glared at Hela. "What are you doing? You want us both to die!" Grey shouted. This time the man was impatient. Hela looked at Grey, not seeming afraid in her eyes, now her eyes were angry at him, "Let's just die! We both should die than for you to decide for me!" Grey was furious, his teeth clenched in frustration. He wanted to slap Hela to make her realize, but all Grey did was take a deep breath until he said, "Singh," and now his eyes were on the girl next to him. "Get out of here!" Grey said, who had been holding back his anger that had reached the top of his head. "I
Keyara felt like breaking through the lift wall and escaping. The tenth floor still felt far away. Keyara bit her lip to ease her anxiety.Keyara glanced to the side. Although she tried to keep her distance to the end of the lift, her eyes unconsciously looked towards Grey's stained clothes. There was a scent of coffee in the lift."What's that coffee stain?"Grey looked at Keyara and said, "It's a coffee stain."Keyara was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Grey to respond to her thoughts as if he could read her mind."Oh..." Keyara answered briefly, understandingly.Silence fell.Grey then looked at Keyara. Suddenly a mischievous idea crossed his mind. Grey took out his phone from his jacket pocket and made a call, "Hello, can you turn off the CCTV for the lift? Okay, thank you." Grey hung up and walked towards Keyara. Feeling nervous, Keyara stepped back until her body was pressed against the lift wall."What do you want, sir?" Keyara asked anxiously. Her hands, which were full
The girl who stole a kiss then turned her head in another direction, leaving Grey without a chance to say anything. He didn't even have time to ask for her name. Grey became curious. He wanted to know why the girl had kissed him, then trembled in fear and ran away like a thief caught in the act. When Grey tried to approach her, she and her accomplices ran out of the club. Grey felt annoyed. But he didn't give up. He chased after the girl to the parking lot, but she had already disappeared. Only a metallic sedan car was seen leaving the parking lot in a hurry. Grey growled and clenched his fists. He felt frustrated with the women's departure. He kicked a nearby pebble, unsatisfied with his curiosity about the girl. After that, Grey decided to leave the club. His mind, which was once dull, turned into curiosity. His feelings, which were disturbed due to his argument with Hela, were now disturbed by the presence of the mysterious girl who stole his kiss. Then, something unexpected ha
This is Keyara's first time working overtime on her first day of work. Amazing. Their boss requested a design change because he felt the design had flaws. Mr. Grey accompanied them to give directions, something that rarely happens according to Tony. Keyara rushed to follow all her team member's instructions. Fixing what she could fix. When Tony looked at his watch, he was surprised because it was already half past ten at night. Tony immediately looked at Keyara. "How about this, only Keyara is a woman on this team." "Key, you should go home." Grey's voice suddenly sounded from the door. Grey seemed ready to leave. "Eh, me?" Keyara was surprised when her boss suddenly greeted her from the room's door. "Yes, you. It's almost eleven o'clock. I'll take you home." Grey said in a casual tone. Now, Keyara looked at Tony, confused because the character division team was still busy fixing the design. "Go home, Key. We'll be leaving shortly too," Sean said softly. Keyara looked at Tony,
Keyara's face turned even redder. The color of red spread to the tips of Keyara's ears."What kind of question is that?!" Grey looked at her, his face unreadable and it made Keyara even more uncomfortable."So?" Grey asked impatiently."Should I answer that?" Keyara tried to find a way to avoid it."Of course," Grey replied firmly."Well, I think your kiss...was...very...very...hot." As Keyara said the word "Hot," she felt her entire face heat up from her chin to her ears.Grey nodded, he liked that answer. It was honest enough."Not bad," Grey said while nodding and then resumed driving his car. "Aren't you hungry, Key?"Keyara furrowed her eyebrows. Oh, right, she hadn't had dinner and had completely forgotten about it due to her busy day. But was this a trick question? Keyara was afraid that the question might be a trap set by Grey. She found it difficult to guess when her boss was asking a genuine question or when he was setting a trap. Keyara chose to remain silent for safety rea
