Valerie still couldn't believe her was being transferred to France. And she was leaving her home in Chicago; she didn't have much with her, just a small suitcase filled with work clothes and a few necessities. Valerie planned to leave some of her belongings with the owner of the flat she was renting. Whether or not she would return one day, Valerie would ask to be sent her things if she planned to stay in France for a long time. Valerie's door opened, and she already knew who was coming, if not her best friend Clara.
"Are you leaving already?" Clara came and immediately hugged Valerie's well-dressed body. "Yeah, my plane will take off in the next hour. Goodbye, Clara... Don't forget to take care of your health." Valerie hugged Clara's body, the only friend her had. "Take care of yourself, Valerie; let me take you to the airport." Clara took Valerie's suitcase and led her out of the flat. Before leaving, Valerie had time to say goodbye to the owner of the flat she had rented. Valerie gazed once again at the old building, which had felt comfortable for her for the past 8 years. ******"Call me when you get to France... Remember, you can't forget me, your best friend." Valerie laughed as she saw the look on Clara's face. She was always joking, but now she was looking serious with her words. "Don't get married without me, Clara... You must remember that I am obliged to select your future husband." Valerie gave one last hug before she waved her hand. It had been a long journey for Valerie. How could a poor woman like her be able to travel abroad, even just to enjoy a glass of wine? Valerie had to think several times about using her salary money. Living in Chicago by herself was very difficult; she had to eat rough and had to set aside money for transportation and the flat rent that had to be paid every month, not to mention my urgent needs. Valerie's getting a business-class airplane ticket made her even more surprised. He thought Mr. Regan was paying him an economy-class ticket, but her was wrong! Her was even more embarrassed when her found out that Valerie was sitting in economy class, even though it was written on the plane ticket for business class. "It feels like a dream." Valerie sat in a soft airplane seat filled with only a few people who must be rich. The flight attendant came to serve a very luxurious meal, and this time Valerie felt very sorry to enjoy a piece of meat that looked beautiful on a golden plate. There were even many kinds of forks, knives, and other cutlery on the side. The flight attendant also poured wine into the glass in front of Valerie. "Would you like me to play a movie?" The flight attendant asked Valerie again, making Valerie feel a little nervous. "Sure." The slight nervousness that overcame Valerie made her tone a brick. The flight attendant turned on the LCD screens attached to the front of the seats in each business class seat. Valerie's eyes focused on the woman who became the display model of the airline advertisement she was now riding, Veronica, her mother. Valerie's hand immediately gripped the fork in her hand tightly; fortunately, it was only an advertisement that quickly changed to a romance movie that she did not know the title of. After traveling for several hours, Valerie finally arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport. She looked around to find someone who would pick her up. Valerie looked at the clock on her wrist and walked over to sit in one of the available seats. Valerie was afraid she would get lost because she had never been to Paris before until a man in his 40s approached her. "Is your name Valerie Ashley? I am Depson, in charge of picking you up." The old man greeted Valerie. "Yeah. I'm Valerie from Chicago." Valerie stood up as the man led her toward the luxury car that was parked at the airport exit. "Please, miss, I will take you to the apartment." Valerie nodded and got in the back seat like a big lady; she didn't have to bother with her luggage. During the trip, Valerie was hypnotized by the beauty of Paris, which is a must-visit destination if you have the money. Valerie is one of the lucky people who can come to this city. But he thought again that hee would be transferred to one of the companies in Paris, but her didn't know what the work would be like here. And as Mr. Regan said, Valerie was no longer under Mr. Regan's leadership but under another boss. When looking at the city of Paris, Valerie even remembers the face of the man of the week. Always ruining her day, that handsome face always makes Valerie fantasize about that man. In fact, by just imagining Valerie's body, it can't be invited to work together, let alone if she is close to that man. The car carrying her stopped in front of an elite apartment complex."Is it possible that I will live here?" Valerie said to herself. "Miss, we have arrived at your apartment; let's go in." Depson opened the door for Valerie. Valerie looked at the apartment building up close. The design was dominated by a lot of glass, and there was one beautiful balcony protruding to the front, which was a very beautiful golf course. "Miss, come in." Depson pressed the numeric password on the door until it clicked. Valerie, who was behind Depson, just watched, admiring the beauty inside, filled with luxurious and modern furniture. "This apartment will be your residence." Miss, your door password is "260487." "You can have a tour of the apartment tomorrow... I will take you to the company where you will be working. I hope you will not be late because the master does not like undisciplined and neat people. Please do not dress too sexy." Valerie nodded at Depson's explanation. Depson left a business card with his number on it.After that, Depson left her alone in this spacious apartment. Valerie walked into the pantry, which was very cool because it was dominated by expensive black marble. Valerie's hand opened the door of the two-door refrigerator. To see if there was any water left for her or not. She was even more surprised to find various types of water in glass bottles lined up on the wall of the refrigerator door. All the groceries were there, as well as various kinds of cakes. "Wow, this is heaven." Valerie saw a lot of fruit filling the other door. Valerie couldn't believe she was getting this kind of treatment, and when she met her boss, she would thank him profusely. "I hope him a good man and not an old man." Valerie opened the lid of the mineral water bottle and gulped it down, hoping that this was the best life she had chosen.''Sir. Miss Valerie has arrived at the apartment residence you want." Depson came to see a man who was busy with a pile of files in his office.A cold face with siren eyes that often made others feel afraid to speak, let alone to approach Arthur Davidson. A man who is 32 years old is quite mature for a successful and handsome man, isn't he? But approaching Arthur is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand.All women should sigh in disappointment because Arthur already has a fiancée who is in New York at the moment. The engagement even happened when they were teenagers.It could be said that even if they got married, it would only be a company wedding.Arthur took off his glasses and placed them on the wooden table. He stretched his head until it made a sound. Arthur had been working too long.''Good. Your next task is to drop her off and pick her up when she goes to work. Did you tell him what the company's requirements are? I don't want her to come to the company in revealing clo
Valerie immediately went downstairs; she had to have breakfast before Depson picked her up, and one more thing that made Valerie nervous was that her was afraid he would be late because the rules said his boss hated people who were not on time.The bell rang, and Valerie, who had just opened the fridge, immediately grabbed the whole milk she had been drinking and opened the door to welcome Depson."Are you finished, miss?"Valerie nodded when she saw that Depson was all dressed up in a black suit."I'm ready, sir." Valerie was still confused about what to call Depson because, honestly, her looked older than her, and just calling him by his name was not too rude."Just call me Depson Lady; I don't want to look too old, and you are more honorable than me." Valerie only smiled slightly, as she still did not understand the meaning of Depson's last words. Valerie felt that she looked more special, being picked up by Depson to go to work."I have been assigned by the master to pick up Miss a
''Wrong!!! Replace with a new one.'' Valerie just closed her eyes. She had to save a lot of patience to deal with her new boss, who always made Valerie want to scream. It had only been a week, but Valerie felt like she had been in hell for almost a year. ''Fucking Arthur!" Valerie cursed while gripping her hand. It was the only swear word that could describe how frustrated Valerie was right now, even though she could only do it in her heart.Even in a state of anger, Valerie never neglected her duties; she always handed them in on time. But everything was still lacking in Arthur's eyes! Valerie glanced at the watch on her left wrist. It was almost lunchtime. But Valerie couldn't help but exhale—everything would be missed, like there could be no meal as long as Valerie's work wasn't done.One thing that Valerie had come to understand little by little was that Arthur was a perfectionist, stubborn, and mysterious to her. Valerie was still busy struggling with the monitor screen that dis
"I told you to answer me!" Arthur grabbed Valerie's chin with his scarred hand and squeezed the chin so that Valerie would look him in the eye this time."You have to be my doll from today on, Valerie... I don't accept any refusals from you! Whether you like it or not! You must serve me as your owner." Valerie's eyes only widened, as she had no idea what Arthur was talking about.Before he could answer, Arthur kissed him forcefully on the lips again, sucking and smacking his lips with tenderness. This time, the kiss was different from the one he received a few minutes ago in the elevator.For a moment, Valerie was lulled by the kiss Arthur gave her. She wanted to reciprocate, but Valerie felt hesitant about it."What do you mean, Arthur? Why is it that every time you touch my body, I can't resist?" Arthur continued to speak in his heart; he hated his brain and heart, which innocently accepted Arthur's treatment.Arthur's hands forcefully pulled Valerie's white shirt in half. Arthur's
"I've been working with Mr. Arthur since 10 years ago... More precisely, when Mr. Arthur had just taken the helm of the company, what is it, Miss?" Valerie was also surprised to hear how long Depson had been working with Arthur, it was not impossible that Depson did not know all of Arthur's mysterious traits"Nothing, I'm just asking that." Valerie had many questions that she still wanted to answer, but she chose to stop her words. Flashback offWhile she was thinking about things, the doorbell of her apartment suddenly rang again. Suddenly, Valerie, who had now moved to sit at the dining table, felt frightened, considering that it was already 10 p.m. "It can't be a guest coming to visit, and it can't be Depson." Valerie was still talking in her heart, she also felt confused about whether to open the door or not. She remembered that there was no one she knew in this French country besides Depson. Valerie chose not to care and did not move her body to check who was coming. It was be
Valerie opened her eyes; she was not sleeping. How could she sleep peacefully in the arms of a strange man who was currently fast asleep?Even until this moment, Valerie felt hatred for herself; more precisely, he even felt disgusted with his body. It could be said that her was like a bitch now; if only his situation was not like this, then Valerie would feel happier and calmer if they did it based on mutual love. Valerie let go of Arthur's embrace on her body; she immediately walked to the bathroom and skipped all her clothes, which now lay disorderly on the floor of the room. Valerie's thoughts at this time were that she had to erase Arthur's traces on her body, even though bathing in the early hours of the morning was never in Valerie's dictionary. But all that he would often do from this moment on was eliminate all of Arthur's body odor that clung to his body."I hate you, Arthur; it's a shame why I met you then, and I regret it now." Valerie could only curse Arthur in her heart
Valerie gazed at Arthur's face, sleeping peacefully by his side. If only Arthur didn't have the heart of a demon, then Valerie would feel lucky to be with Arthur, the man who captivated him even when her met him by accident.Valerie's hand moved to touch the surface of Arthur's cheek, but she remembered that her had no rights over Arthur. So her pulled his hand back and got up from his sleep because life is not as sweet as romantic dramas and don't expect too much. "Wake up, Valerie, Remember what happened last night. "You have to remember it!" Valerie realized her stepped into the bathroom just to wash her face, Her didn't need to take a shower because a few hours ago he had done it. Was she trying to avoid Arthur this time? Yes, Valerie was trying to do that. It only took a few minutes for Valerie to get herself dressed in a navy blue shirt and white span skirt. Even though her body felt almost broken, Valerie was still Valerie. She would not let herself live in laziness unless s
''Depson did you know Mr. Arthur is allergic to caffeine?'' Valerie ventured to ask Depson again. "I'm sorry, miss. I forgot to tell you that sir does have an allergy to caffeine; it almost took his life seven years ago, to be more precise. Since then, Sir has never consumed anything containing caffeine, whether in the form of food or drink. Is there a problem, miss?" Depson glanced at Valerie's face through the glass in front of him. ''If he drank a little bit of it, no, I mean, maybe just a little taste, would you be okay?" Valerie was at a loss to explain to Depson how, because there was no way she could say that this morning because of her kiss, Arthur had tasted coffee again, directly or indirectly. ''As long as he don't swallow it, then I think it will be fine, Miss; it's just better to avoid it." Depson feels that Valerie made a mistake. That is the reason why Depson received an angry phone call from Arthur this morning. Honestly, Depson felt sorry for Valerie; that woman h
