Thank God I didn't wake up late, even though I cried all night because I remembered my late mother, but why did I dream last night about the man I should call Dad? Is this a sign that the man is looking for me? Memories of the past that I tried to keep under wraps are now coming back since I became Ryan's secretary,' thought Karin.
Karin got out of bed and went to the sink to clean her face and brush her teeth. After that, she changed clothes and walked to the kitchen to make breakfast. She turned on the oven and baked bread in it. After that, she spread the bread with peanut butter, deliciously.
She looked at her watch and it was already 07.15 in the morning. There was still half an hour for her to get to the office.
After breakfast, Karin hurriedly left her apartment. She walked towards the bus stop and didn't wait long. The bus that went to work came and stopped in front of the bus stop where she was sitting.
She chose to sit in the middle which was still empty. Occasionally she glanced at her watch, for fear of being late on his first day of work.
Who would have thought, in the middle of the journey? The bus Karin was riding in had an accident. The bus she was traveling in collided with a car.
'Damn! I have to get to the office immediately, I don't want to get angry with Mr. Ryan,' Karin muttered to herself. Not wanting to arrive late, Karin approached the bus driver, who was involved in a conversation with the driver of the car that collided with the bus he was driving.
"Excuse me, Sir! I'm in a hurry to get to the office. Here is my phone number, if you need a statement from me.” Karin took out a business card from her bag and handed it to the bus driver.
Not waiting for an answer from the bus driver, Karin ran along the corridor towards the office building where she worked.
Karin ignored the call from the bus driver, who asked her to come back. Karin just wanted to get to the office quickly, so she could avoid trouble. Fortunately, the distance she had to travel was no longer only a few blocks.With heavy breathing and clothes wet with sweat. Karin finally arrived at the building where she worked. However, unluck she arrived a few minutes late.
And when she was about to go to her office. Unfortunately, she entered at the same time as the woman, who had expressed her dislike for Karin from the start of the meeting, left the office.
The fierce woman, whose name Karin didn't want to remember, looked at her coldly. She then folded her arms in front of her chest and said, “Do you know what time it is? It's only your first day of work and you're already late."
Karin, who realized her mistake, could only look down. She couldn't argue, even explain, she wasn't sure that the woman standing in front of her would accept her explanation.
Karin's misfortune didn't stop there. From behind her came a baritone voice that made her heart beat fast. 'Oh Lord! Double damn. Why did Mr. Ryan have to catch me coming late?' thought Karin.
"You came straight into my room, Karin! "And you, Helda! Go back to your room," said Ryan, in a firm tone of voice.
Karin quickly walked towards the door of Ryan's study, but she stopped in front of the door. Wait for the person who has room to enter first.
Not long after, Ryan was standing next to Karin. He then reached into the pocket of the jacket he was wearing and took out the key. The door opened easily.
Ryan moved his body to the side and invited Karin to enter his office first.
'Why did Mr. Ryan ask me to come in first? And not him?' Karin asked herself.
Karin looked at Ryan, a little hesitant. However, she also stepped forward to enter. As she passed right in front of Ryan, a masculine aroma radiated from his body. It was as if there was an invisible magnet pulling Karin closer.
The sound of the door closing made Karin jump in surprise. She became worried, especially when she saw Ryan playing with the key he was holding in the air, before putting it in his shirt pocket under the jacket he was wearing.
"Sit down, Karin! You know, don't you, the reason why I ordered you to come in to my room?" Ryan walked to his work chair and sat there.
Ryan cast a cold gaze at Karin. As a leader, he doesn't like it when his employees arrive late.
“You made a mistake on your first day of work, by arriving late. Do you think you can just do that without getting punished?" Ryan snapped fiercely.
Karin lowered her head, her hands interlocked in her lap. "Excuse me, Sir! "Earlier on the way, the bus I was riding in had an accident and I was already running, so I could get to the office on time."
Ryan's eyes searched Karin's face, which looked sweaty. His gaze then fell to Karin's chest, where the shirt she was wearing looked damp and stuck to it.
“You intend to tease me? By looking like that?” Ryan asked fiercely. However, his eyes did not move to look at Karin's body, which was clad in a shirt that was stuck to his body due to sweat, and he had left the top two buttons open.
"I didn't mean to tease you. "My clothes were wet because I had run and I didn't bring a change of shirt, because I didn't expect something like this to happen," said Karin. She saw that her shirt was see-through and showed her bra.
She heard the sound of the chair Ryan was sitting on shifting and she saw her boss walking into a room inside the office. Not long after, he came out again and walked over to Karin.
Ryan was standing right behind the chair occupied by Karin. “I will lend you my shirt to wear. Maybe, you indirectly gave me a code to ask you to sleep together." Ryan whispered in Karin's ear.
Suddenly Karin was shocked, she straightened up in her seat and it turned out it was a mistake for her. Her head accidentally hit her boss's chin, causing his voice to groan.
“You must have done it on purpose, right? And you did all this to get my attention!” Ryan scolded. He then walked back to sit in his chair.
"Change your shirt! Or do you want me to help you put on the shirt? "I'll be happy to help take it off,” said Ryan, in a mocking tone.
Karin stood up from her seat and looked at Ryan bravely. “Thank you for the shirt loan, sir! I will return, because I don't want you to have a reason to come to my apartment, as you accused me of."
Ryan stared coldly at Karin. He didn't like Karin twisting what he said earlier. He waved his hand and threw Karin out of the room.
Karin quickly walked towards the door, then she turned to face Ryan. She remembered that she had heard the sound of the door being locked, plus Ryan brandishing the key in his hand
"How can I get out of this room, if you lock the door, Sir?" Karin asked.
Ryan had a mysterious smile on his lips. “If you want to open it. "Please take the key that is in my shirt pocket," said Ryan.
, “You can also change clothes in the bathroom.” Ryan added again, with seductive eyes."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
