"Say her to come back later!" said Lean angrily at his new receptionist officer. Wherever Evon worked, that woman always messed up his day. He should have fired her from his office and not given her a chance to work in a lower position. "The woman is presistent," replied Evon weakly. Today she has had a tough day. In an instant her position was snatched away by others. And now everyone who knew her was staring at her with pity because the boss of The Star blatantly kicked herself from the position of secretary. Even though she had worked with Lean for years, and so far there had never been any problems like what she had just faced. Lean is an indifferent boss. That was what Evon stepped up to during her time as her secretary. Many times she tried to lure the man to show his true identity because there were many rumors circulating that he was gay. But who would have thought that her reckless action to tease Lean and prove the truth of the rumors would have made her lose her positio
Ending the conversation with Rebecca, Avelyn immediately got up from her bed to put her cellphone on the nightstand beside her bed. At the same time, the door to her room suddenly opened, revealing Elvis's figure who looked exhausted with his office shirt that were no longer neat like this morning. A suit that is carried carelessly in one hand, a tie that looks already loose, a shirt sleeve that is rolled unsymmetrically between the right arm and the left arm. Then Elvis's face also showed the same crease as his clothes. Elvis's dark hair looked messy without leaving a trace of gel. Even though Avelyn was sure that this morning Elvis had applied enough hair gel to his dark hair to keep the hair in place while he was wandering around outside the house. "Hi, Sweety,” said Elvis warmly, but full of tired tone in every word. With heavy steps, the man walked to the cream sofa in the corner of their bedroom, and immediately dropped his things just like that. "You look like you just got sw
Avelyn cheerfully welcomed today as her first day of work after taking a leave of absence for her honeymoon. Although it can be said that the honeymoon is not an ordinary honeymoon. How could she even spend her honeymoon with Lean? Sometimes thinking about that makes Avelyn wonder, is actually her husband Elvis or Lean? Avelyn got mad at herself for remembering that. Moreover, last night she had passed quite a long night with Elvis. The man presses her to tell who Michael is. The man who Elvis thought was her ex-husband, even though Michael was her brother-in-law. Yeah, Avelyn having no choice but to come up with a childlike story to make Elvis believe in her. Within a week of her marriage, Avelyn had broken the first rule in a household relationship. An honest! But it couldn't be helped, she couldn't possibly tell Elvis if the main reason for marrying that man was because of Elvis's eyeballs which were the same as those of her dead brother-in-law. It would be very painful for Elvis
Avelyn sighed out the number of times she waited for Lean to speak to him. They had been on this patio for more than thirty minutes. The patio of a fancy restaurant that Lean ordered with great emotion to the receptionist. Really Avelyn didn't know why Lean's mood had gotten this bad. Even before the shoot started, the man was still so calm and enjoying his attitude that managed to make Avelyn stiffen. But after Avelyn was done with her shoot an hour and a half later, Lean suddenly stopped his car right in front of Avelyn's body who was standing on the road, then told the woman to get into the car with a flat face. "Are you going to...." "I have more than five businesses I need to take care of, Avelyn." Cut Lean quickly with a hiss. "Okay Mr. Busy!" Avelyn replied loudly as she rested her hands on the table to support her head. She was tired of waiting for the man to chat with his interlocutor who occasionally accompanied the loud voice of Lean because he was angry or maybe disapp
Silence engulfed them for a moment. Somehow she had to face the statement Lean had thrown at her. Lean's face now felt unattractive in her eyes. Not that Lean had just told her any of his secrets... or maybe it was a disgrace. She have no idea. What was clear was that Avelyn felt that looking at Lean's face now was not a good choice. Apart from being confused about how to respond to that man's statement, she also didn't know what to do in front of Lean. If she shows a sympathetic face, he may become even angrier because she feels pity. After all, a man has a sky-high ego that is very difficult to break. And if he had told her the darkest secret that man had, it could be because Lean wanted something from her. "Are you surprised?" "A little. What happened to you?" "Accident." "Oh, sorry. I don't mean to make you have to remember that bad incident. But what is clear, I'm confused to react in front of you. I'm afraid you will be offended." "Yes. Since you laughed earlier, I've been
Avelyn was still on her stomach as the cell phone she had placed on the nightstand near her bed kept ringing. Avelyn lazily grabbed a pillow and stuffed her ears with the thick, but soft pillow to block out the sound of her cell phone. Today she doesn't want to pick up phone calls from anyone. At eight o'clock she had gotten a call from Winnie, Lean's secretary, if she was asked to come to the office at nine. But now the clock has shown half past nine. She did not want to fulfill that request. After all, why would she go to the office if she had just finished a photo shoot yesterday. As far as she knew there was no new shooting schedule for today. And Avelyn assumed he was making excuses to meet her. Yesterday's incident probably left Lean wondering and wanted to clarify it directly to her. But she was reluctant to do so because she did not know the reason behind her yesterday's stupid attitude. Suddenly Lean kissed her, the memory of Michael jostled back into her brain, and then she
Twenty-three minutes later Avelyn arrived at Lean's office in a mess. What a mess she is this afternoon because she has to go up to Lean's office using the stairs. She should be able to arrive in exactly twenty minutes as she promised him. But because the elevator was too full, and she was in a hurry, she was forced to do the foolish thing by walking up seven floors using stairs. And because of all that mess, Avelyn looks pretty messy from head to toe. Her fine hair started to sweat and get greasy. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat so profusely that it ran down the side of her face. And when she arrived at the seventh floor she was panting for breath. "Have you arrived?" Avelyn glared at Lean. When she entered the room, he was busy calling and only glanced at her. Her presence this afternoon was not appreciated at all. Even though earlier she only got dressed and took a shower within seven minutes. The rest she does everything in the car. Including eating a sandwich that
Letha is sorting out shampoo and detergent in minimarket. Since moving to LA, this is the first time Letha take Hill to shop at the convenience store near her apartment. So far, Letha prefers to shop alone than with Hill because that kid will definitely mess up. As happened today. When she was busy sorting things out, Hill was busy running around showing the items he wanted to put in the cart. Fortunately, Letha's one loud shake succeeded in making the boy silent and did not dare to ask for anything. But his active stance that keeps running here and there makes Letha really dizzy. Being a single parent for Hill isn't easy, Letha thought bitterly. Sometimes she regrets the rejection she gave Lean a few months ago when the man volunteered to start a harmonious family. But after meeting Lean some time ago, Letha became relieved because she did not accept Lean's offer quickly. What happens if she really lives with Lean, and then that man suddenly has a woman he likes and wants to have? S
