*Hyun Bin's POV*
My bottle of wine is almost gone, but the thoughts in my head are as prominent as ever. It's funny how after everything that has happened yesterday and today, she's the only thing my mind is fixated upon.
I mean, yesterday, I was in a cold sweat, terrified that someone knew about Yeri's location and had been following me around. Today, I woke up to the news that Byun Jihoon, leader of my debut boy group, was in a dating scandal with a much older actress. Who later turned out to be his birth mother.
To be honest, the issue with Yeri had me in the worst position. I could have easily navigated the situation with Jihoon had it turned out worse.
Regardless, despite those two near disasters, it's her face that's at the forefront of my mind.
Emma Tsindoli.
Ever since that woman walked through my office door, I've broken a few of my own rules. I was attracted to
**Hyun Bin's POV** Before I found out that I was wrong about Emma, I was busy kicking myself for allowing my attraction to blind me from a possible threat. To be fair, I had taken the usual precautions of checking her background before hiring her. But that doesn't mean there isn't a possibility of someone slipping through my scrutiny. So, before Michael came along and everything was straightened, I was berating myself for lowering my guard due to my attraction. Then, after she was cleared of everything, I found myself back to square one. She is working for me, but all I want is my hands on her. Walking into her in the kitchen in a flimsy night dress, talking about fucking me in her dreams, was the last nail on that particular coffin. Especially since myself, I'd left my bed after an erotic dream featuring her. If she hadn't insisted
**Emma's POV**Me and my group of colleagues end up spending too much time at the chicken place. Mostly because the stories keep coming.It isn't until seven o'clock that I find myself in the bus heading home. It has been a crazy two days, so all I want is to go home, have a shower, and get in between my sheets. I cross my fingers, hoping for zero drama today.If my mother is still in my apartment, I'll simply act like she doesn't exist. If she says something nasty to me, I'm going to pretend I can't hear her.After I get off the bus, I stroll towards my apartment. The night is quiet and cold. Peaceful. Complete contrast to the mayhem we woke up to today at Park Entertainment.Hopefully, the rest of the week will go by without any incidences.I'm walking towards the entrance of my apartment when there's a movement behind me. Then, before I can pun
By the time I get to work, I've called Roberto like twenty times. He has ignored every single one of my calls. And hasn't replied to the many texts I've sent in between.I huff.He must be enjoying his little power trip.Okay. Maybe not so little. If he gets his way, I'll be knees deep in trouble.I rush through the office at twenty past eight. Someone calls out a greeting to me, but I can't concentrate on that. All my senses are searching the direction of Fiona's cube. Whether I like it or not, she's the only hope I have of getting to Roberto and asking him to stop whatever he's brewing.I head over and she's sitting at her desk, on her phone."We need to talk," I tell her, keeping my voice low.She looks at me, then back to her phone. "About?""You know what," I reply, trying hard not to snap.
"I finally get to have one good night's sleep and what do I wake up to in the morning? Another scandal brewing, with my company's name top of the menu. Who is that guy, what does he do, and what does he know about you?"I've barely gotten comfortable in the seat when Hyun Bin starts his rant.He looks pissed off.His tie looks to have been pulled at a few times, his coat is resting on his seat, and his shirt sleeves are rolled to his forearms. He looks hot.I clear my throat and restrain my runaway thoughts."He knows, uh, pretty much everything about me." Including where I live. "I saw him yesterday. ""And?"I shift in my chair. "He wanted to talk but I turned him down. Said I'd regret it.""So he's paying you back for rejecting him."I nod."You have horrible taste in guys, don't you?"*Yea
"I'm still coming over this weekend."I sigh. I'm arranging things in my closet, my phone balanced between my ear and shoulder. Bella is on the other side."Everything was handled, okay? Roberto will not bother me again. He made the right choice and took money over coming back for seconds. Who knew he could be that smart."During the day, as everybody counted down to 6p.m. for the exclusive reveal from @rvlfeed, Bella insisted to come over because she was worried about me. Then 6p.m. came and there was no news, @rvlfeed apologising and claiming that their source had withdrawn at the last minute. They were currently under fire for making promises when they didn't have their hands on the intel.Now that the comapny has dealt with Roberto, there is no reason for Bella to be worried about me."Not everything is about you, girl," she says in a sing song voice. "I got invited to a party."
This party is a bust.Don't get me wrong. I've never been to such a glamorous party before. Michael is throwing his bash at The Daze, and the set up is mind blowing. The crowd is crazy. And everybody is clearly having a good time.About the party being a bust?That's my jealousy talking.I knew Park Hyun Bin was going to be here. Much as I wouldn't have admitted it out loud, I was excited to see him outside work, again. And a bit nervous, of course.What I had not considered was the possibility of him having a gorgeous supermodel hanging off his arm like a trophy.I should have been able to look and walk away without feeling like my insides are in a twist. But ever since I laid my eyes on the pair? I haven't had a moment of peace.Maybe I wouldn't be feeling so blue - or green - if he didn't look so sinfully gorgeous in his getup of
The aftermath of the scuffle are several bleeding lips, black eyes, and bruised bodies.The security team eventually subdues the partycrashers and throws them out of the club alongside their ring leader. With an ice pack pressed to his jaw, Michael instructs the DJ to resume the music and announces that the party isn't over yet.The crowd gets right back into the mood, while Michael retreats to the back office.Bella is the one holding his arm and leading him towards the office. I go after them, carrying our purses. Hyun Bin comes with us too."I'll stay back and ensure this guy gets back to his place in one piece," Bella says as she settles Michael in a couch in his office. "Emma, why don't you catch a ride back with Hyun Bin?"I stare at her as if she's an alien.What did she just-"Right, Binnie?" Michael adds. "Make sure she gets home safe."
"Weren't you going to see Yeri?""She can wait."We are outside my apartment. Park Hyun Bin is coming into my apartment. This has been quite an interesting week, hasn't it? It started with him abducting me to his house, and now he's about to come into mine. I feel like everything is going at a pace I can't keep up with.He lifts an eyebrow and looks up and down the hallway. "Are you going to let us in or not?"I insert my key and open the door. The light in the entryway automatically comes on, and I switch on the ones for the living room.Hyun Bin steps into the room after me. My eyes scan the room, hoping it's not an embarrassment. Maybe it would be, had this been a weekday. But it is Saturday, and I spent time cleaning up before Bella showed up and we went to the party."Nice place," he compliments as I close the door behind me.It's quite a sight, seeing Pa
