Karin swallowed hard, she felt uncomfortable with Ryan's closeness to her. She also tried to dare herself to look at Ryan. "What do you mean by saying that? I only want a job as your secretary and nothing else. I will not lower myself, just to be accepted to work at your company."
Ryan smiled a cynical smile at Karin. “Why don't I believe what you say I feel like there is something you are hiding from me.” She then lowered her body, until his face was level with Karin's face. Karin could feel Ryan's warm breath hitting her face.
The mint scent of Ryan's breath, plus the expensive perfume he was wearing, seemed to anesthetize Karin. It made her want to pretend to faint just to feel his embrace.
Karin became increasingly nervous, plus Ryan's eyes didn't leave her face, it was like hypnosis. The look in his eyes seemed to want to invite her to go to bed. And the urge felt so strong that it made Karin feel uncomfortable where she was sitting.
"You may not believe what I say, because of your previous experience with several women. However, I did not lie in what I said just now.” Karin tried to push Ryan away, even though it seemed rude, to the man who would be her boss if she were hired.
Ryan didn't move away because of Karin's encouragement. However, he was too firm where he was standing, so Karin couldn't move his body an inch. He caught Karin's hand, which was pressed against his chest.
Karin jerked roughly, Ryan's hand was holding hers, she felt as if there was an electric shock flowing between the two of them and it made something ripple in Karin's chest.
Ryan straightened his body, in fact, she also felt disturbed by his closeness to Karin earlier. “Damn! What makes this woman feel different, compared to the women I have dated is it because his demeanor looks calm? Damn! this woman!" Ryan cursed in his heart.
Ryan walked back behind his desk. He then sat there, but his eyes couldn't leave Karin's face.Karin felt relieved when she saw Ryan sitting back in his original place. The man put on a cold face again, deep in his heart, Karin would have preferred it if her future boss looked at her like that.
Compared to his gaze earlier which was so deep and persuasive. 'Why is it that just looking at him makes me almost tempted?' Karin thought.
She bit her lip again, to get rid of her nervousness. Her red tongue stuck out to lick her dry lips. And, unfortunately, all of that didn't escape Ryan's observation.
“You want to tempt me into kissing your lips, don't you?” Ryan looked at Karin's lips sharply.
Suddenly Karin was surprised to hear Ryan's question. She didn't expect it at all.
Karin felt thirsty, but she didn't dare to take the mineral water that was on the table in front of her before Ryan gave her permission. Only her eyes looked at the glass expectantly.Ryan followed Karin's gaze. "Please drink the water!"
Karin was relieved to hear that. Immediately she took a plastic glass of mineral water and drank the water until he emptied the contents. However, because she was nervous, Ryan continued to stare sharply at her. Making Karin choke on the water she was drinking.
Ryan quickly stood up from his seat, he then patted Karin's back hard, until Karin's eyes watered. However, Ryan didn't care.Karin moved her body away from Ryan, she felt a little annoyed because the man hit her back hard. "Thank you, Sir! for helping me," said Karin, even though her heart was upset.
Ryan sat back in his chair. “Are you sure about the position you want to apply for?” Ryan asked while reading the CV in his hand.
He then raised his head from the file in his hand. He stared closely at Karin from top to bottom.
Karin straightened up in her seat. “I'm sure sir, with the position I want. I have also learned what a secretary must do. And it's all by the education I took."
Ryan frowned, his eyes searching. "And do you mean to use the attractiveness of your sexy body as part of your plan to get the position as my secretary?"
Karin counted to ten in her heart, to hold back her anger which was about to explode. "If only I didn't need this job to pay my living expenses, I would get out of this place right now," Karin muttered to herself.
"I'm sorry if you feel disturbed by my body. Would you prefer if I wore more closed clothes? I'm not looking for trouble by trying to seduce you. "I just want to get this job," said Karin.
A crooked smile spread across Ryan's lips. “How much do you want this job? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to get this job?”
Karin felt that Ryan was testing her, through the questions he asked. And she must give intelligent answers. "I will indeed give what is best according to my abilities, to be accepted to work here. However, that doesn't mean I will use my body to get to that position, sir.”
“Hmm, okay! I have read from your CV that you are the best graduate on your campus. Do you think I should accept your proposal?” Ryan asked.
"I believe that you should accept me because I will prove that what is on my CV is real," said Karin confidently.
Ryan then leaned his back against the back of the chair. "Okay, I accept you to be my secretary. And. as long as you know, working together means you have to be prepared to work hard and also with overtime hours."
Karin quickly nodded her head. Happiness radiated in her eyes and face. "Yes, sir! I will prove that I am worthy to be your secretary."
Ryan's eyes followed Karin's movements as she stood up from her seat and her eyes lingered on Karin's chest, where she had removed the top two buttons.
Ryan's chest rose and fell, in his heart he was cursing Karin which made him want to take her to the nearest bed.
Karin stretched out her right hand to shake Ryan's hand. And, it seems like that was a mistake. As soon as her fingers were in Ryan's grasp, the man jerked his hand, until he fell onto the man's chest.
“You're just pretending you don't like my touch! "I know, before doing this interview you must have imagined what it would be like to be touched by me," Ryan whispered in Karin's ear.
Karin swallowed hard, her throat suddenly felt dry. The hairs on the back of her neck bristled at the feeling of Ryan's warm breath, which touched her neck.
Karin was shocked when she realized Ryan's hand had crept into the open part of her shirt. "I ask you, Sir! not to act like this, I don't like it at all!" said Karin, in a hoarse voice.
Ryan smiled slightly, his hand moving from Karin's chest to her lips. He rubbed her lips gently. “How clever these lips are at lying, can't you hear your heart beating so fast? I can see if you've been imagining what it would be like to be kissed by me." Ryan whispered in a hoarse voice, because of excitement.
Karin was silent where she sat because she couldn't deny what Ryan said, but the image of her childhood, which she had to go through with her suffering mother, because of men made Karin afraid. She didn't want herself to experience the same suffering as her mother.
Karin shook her head in a weak voice she said, "I don't want your touch! And I also don't want to sleep with you, or any other man!"
"After the business meeting, I will go somewhere. And I don't want to be disturbed by anyone. As my confidant, you will be the one taking over the duties, as usual!” Ryan stood up from his seat and walked out of the study, followed by Luke. When Ryan passed Karin's table, he only glanced briefly at the woman, then walked away without saying hello to Karin. Luke who saw this frowned, but he didn't want to comment. It is Ryan and Karin's matter if they fight. Once the two of them were in the car heading to the airport. Ryan remained silent and didn't want to say anything. Luke also follows Ryan's silence, as Ryan's assistant and knows many of his boss's secrets, except about his relationship with Karin. A few hours later, they were at the airport. A porter helped carry both of their luggage to the departure lounge. After the administrative process was complete, a call was heard for them to board a plane to England. Both
Karin quickly bent down to pick up the pregnancy test on the floor. However, she lost quickly to Ryan who had taken it first. "Why are you silent, Karin? Don't you want to explain anything to me?” Ryan asked coldly. Karin swallowed hard. She felt nervous about explaining to Ryan. “I'll explain later when I get home from work!” Ryan quickly replied, "Why wait, when you can explain right now? I have time to listen to your explanation!” Karin looked at the corridor which looked empty and there were no people. She nodded her head. She suggested to Ryan that she just say it in the man's room, but Ryan coldly said that he wanted to hear it right there and now. Karin closed her eyes and then exhaled strongly. She felt her stomach and in a low voice, she said, "Just like you saw on the pregnancy test. I'm pregnant and I decided to keep my pregnancy. It doesn't matter if you don't like it!" Ryan clenched his fists
Ryan entered the kitchen he gave Derek a disapproving look. Usually, the man accompanies Karin. He didn't want Derek to approach Karin, maybe Karin would be influenced to stay away from him. "What are you doing in Karin's apartment I'm warning you never to hurt Karin!" Ryan snapped harshly. Hearing Ryan's threat, Derek laughed. He looked at Ryan sarcastically. "What do you mean by saying that you are the only one who has the right to hurt Karin, while other people are not allowed? It's great!” Ryan clenched his fists at his sides ready to throw them at Derek. Karin, who saw that the situation was not good between Ryan and Derek, immediately pushed Derek's body gently to get out. In a low voice, he said that he could change his mind. And if that happened he would contact Derek. After Derek left his apartment, Karin breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had succeeded in preventing a fight between Ryan and Derek.
Ryan stared coldly at Karin. He pushed the woman roughly until she fell to the floor. “Just now we made peace with my thoughts, that you already understood what I said and would not ask any more questions, but you have already started again! Come out Karin, I don't want to see you for a while and you don't need to attend the meeting later!" At that moment, there was a knock on Ryan's office door. And after being invited in, Norah was seen entering Ryan's room. She looked stunned for a moment when she saw Karin kneeling on the floor. However, she quickly realized. A mocking smile appeared on her lips, When she was near Karin she stretched out her hand to help her stand up. And she did it just for small talk, as well as to mock Karin. With embarrassment that she tried to hide, Karin ignored Norah's outstretched hand. Without saying a word, she left Ryan's room. Arriving at her desk, Karin quickly tidied up her desk, a
Ryan quickly took the portrait and his gaze focused on the portrait of the beautiful woman in the frame. “This woman has died and she is indeed the woman I once loved! She won't interfere with our relationship!” Ryan put the portrait in a drawer, then locked it. After that, Ryan leaned his back against the back of the chair, with his gaze directed straight into Karin's eyes. Karin's throat felt dry and she swallowed her saliva with difficulty. She said quietly that the woman had indeed died, but it was clear that Ryan still remembered the woman in his heart. Karin also immediately expressed her disappointment with what Ryan had done. She said that Ryan kept the woman's portrait in his drawer, proving that he often looked at the portrait when he missed her. "I don't see any portraits of myself or the two of us in your room, but you still have a portrait of the woman you love and this makes me self-conscious that your love for me i
"What do you mean by forcing me into your car, after you just left me like that!" Karin tried to open the car door, but it didn't work, because the door was locked automatically. Ryan sat right next to Karin and then gave orders to the driver to start the car. "I only complied with your request, so that the two of us could talk alone. You should be happy because I kindly agreed to do it. Hearing what Ryan said, Karin snorted in displeasure. “I think we'll just hang around after work to talk!” Ryan glanced at Karin, with a faint smile on his lips. "Good idea! After speaking, there will inevitably be a debate. You and I are going to make love, it's fantastic!” Karin's eyes immediately widened when she heard what Ryan had just said. She couldn't understand how Ryan could still think about making love. Even when they are fighting, like this. Seeing Karin who was just silent, Ryan grabbed Karin's finger and held i
