I was surprised when he texted and wanted to meet."Why do you want to talk to us here?" I asked him."To be quiet," he answered simply."Maybe it's quiet at the bar," I told him sarcastically."You're still grumpy," he said.I just looked at him and sat in front of him.I poured wine into the glass in front of me."I thought you didn't care?" he asked.I didn't answer him and just sipped the wine I poured."So, you're rich?" he asked again."What now? Is that enough reason for you to leave me?" I asked boldly.I also have the strength to tell him because I've had enough wine."Why didn't you tell me? Do I really not know you, or am I just pretending to know you?" he asked sharply.He did not answer my question."Why you? You pretended to be poor to be accepted at my boutique for what?" I answered his question."Who said I'm rich?" he answered with raised eyebrows.Why are we two arguing? Why is it that if we talk, nothing comes together? Why is the answer to every question we ask eac

"Why did you call us?" I asked Daddy."Your brother called you, not me," answered Dad.I sat at the table and saw that my brother was coming from the top of the mansion."What's wrong?" Ken asked."Oh, it's a miracle you're here, Aira," Meire said.He just arrived home."I'm getting married."We were all surprised by what my brother said, but not mommy and daddy."You know this, Dad?" Meire asked."Mommy?" he asked next.Daddy just smiled, and Ken clapped his hands and stood up."Congratulations, brother," he said."Congratulations, Jan," she greeted her sister."Congratulations, bro," said Miere."Congratulations, brother." I simply greeted him."It's early greetings, but thank you. That's why I called you because I'm about to propose; it's possible that he won't say yes. I want you all to be there, and I'll have an engagement party after," he explained broadly."What if he doesn't answer yes? Your party will be a waste," said my sister."I have a strong feeling that he will say yes

As expected.As my brother requested, we all stayed here at the mansion. Even if they leave early, they return right before dinner.I just work from home; I send papers that need to be studied and papers that need to be signed; that's all I do. The store is monitored by CCTV, and I have a watchman there. I hired a CCTV operator to make us safer and more comfortable. My business is also growing, so I need more employees."Ms. Aira, lunch is ready downstairs. Your mommy is already there," our companion knocked on the door."Okay, I'll be there in a minute," I answered.I went down to the dining area, and that's right, mommy is here. I adjusted my seat and started eating."No one even called me for lunch? Why?" Meriam was defiant."We don't--"Just eat here; they don't know you're there; you're always like you're not there," Mommy interrupted."Tsk," he scolded. I even saw his eyes roll."How is your company, Aira? It looks like you are not working anymore; you are just locked in your r

My eyes have been spinning for a while. He talks a lot about the things he did."Maybe you have special training? You speak well." I cut him off."You are the girl I know; you are ugly," he said to me.My eyeball rolled again."What's the reason why you have to pretend? Are you really an expert in pretending?” I asked him again.I crossed my arms when I saw that he was about to speak."I don't know what to do to meet you. I also begged Raven, but even she refused me," he began."You've been saying that for a while, and that's not what I want to hear," I said, raising my eyebrows."Yes, Meriam likes me. From the first meeting, it was obvious to me that he had an agenda."FLASHBACKThe first gathering is a big gathering with the country's big businessmen. While we were at the table assigned to us, various businessmen approached.Daddy accompanied Cheska to the comfort room because he said she might get lost or meet someone and become clumsy. Cheska wears an elegant but too-revealing dre

Raven and I went out and went to the bar we own. We used to like to sit and just listen to the noise of the environment, but now I want to get drunk. I want to try to get drunk and forget everything that ran through my mind.Raven brought a woman with her, and she is now with us at the table. That's exactly what Raven is like—not a big girl; of course she's beautiful and white, but most of all, she's naughty. They kept flirting in front of me, so I got even more annoyed. They know I'm broken, and then they'll cry in front of me.Lettuce.I just drank until I finished one bottle and asked the waiter for another. The two didn't stop me because they were busy with each other. They just need to undress in front of me. Because they are holding each other.I must have had four bottles of wine when I heard the good music, so I went to the dance floor to dance.I just danced along with other people who were dancing, some with their partner and some with their friend; they were nervous about t
