Lia's POV'Perhaps you are jealous that someone is interested in me?'A question that kept echoing in my ears, am I jealous of that woman?"Lia, I'm asking you. Are you jealous that she was straightforward about doing something like that?” He brought his face closer to mine.I gulp repeatedly and pull my face away, "I don't know what you're talking about, there's no reason for me to be jealous."What could be the reason for me to be jealous, another thing is that the woman said that Sir Darius is a VIP member of the bar, which means that he didn't have a one-night stand just once."There is no reason for me to be jealous,” I repeat pretending to look at my cell phone to avoid his gaze, "it's late now, I should go home Sir."I forced my voice not to shake, I didn't want to sound forced. I want to make him feel that I don't care about it, that he's part of the VIP of the certain bar doesn't affect me at all.He was stunned for a few moments as if it finally dawned on him that what he wa
I feel my head throbbing when I slowly open my eyes, it's not even a few hours before I fell asleep last night thinking about what I'm going to do about what Mom said. How was she able to agree to something like that?A blind date without asking about my opinion.I know she's my mom, but this kind of thing is too much.I want to cry, sometimes it's tiring to please what Mom wants to happen. Sometimes I understand, but the other things she does are too much.My eye was puffy and the under was black, even though I felt a little dizzy and weak, I forced myself to get ready to go to work. I can't slow down now, I have a lot to take care of and I don't want to be a hindrance to the company.It was quiet around when I got to the kitchen, Mom and Dad were gone and only a note stuck on the fridge was left. Why didn't they even tell me about their departure, mom and I talked last night.I just put the sandwich that Mom prepared in the bag and left the house to find a ride, but as soon as I lef
“W-Wait, Sir…”"Please note that addressing me as 'sir' is unnecessary, and I would appreciate it if you refrained from doing so... Especially when we're doing it or we’re alone, I already said it back then, right?" He whispered between his kisses on my cheek.His arm that was holding to my waist gradually loosened, but his fingers slowly crawled inside my blouse again. Even though his every action is not that aggressive now compared to then, I can feel the strangeness of his every touch even more.It's like he's making me more excited with every tip of his finger on my skin, every caress, and how his massage makes on the sensitive part of my body.“Ahh!” A low moan came out of my mouth as his fingers squeezed my nipple, "D-Darius!" I firmly held my hands to his clothes.No matter how careful I was not to wrinkle his clothes, it was too late, but he didn't care. All his attention was on my body, "Yes, call my name like that." He whispered. “Call my name.”I can feel the movement of hi
"Good morning, Sir!" The people in the design department stood up at the same time as we entered the meeting room, they were smiling at us but I couldn't look at them for too long.I know that I cleaned myself in the bathroom in Sir Darius' office but I feel like they will know what we did in the elevator if I look at them for a long time, the guilt is still here..."Good morning, is everyone ready?" Sir Darius asked them to sit in the designated chair prepared for everyone. "This is not the official meeting, so you don't need to be nervous. I just want to hear every opinion for now, in the way, we can discuss it.”"Yes, Sir!" They all said in unison.They started talking about the project and I just listened quietly in the corner and took notes on everything I think is important, so this is the feeling of working in a big company.I can't stop myself from staring at Darius as he starts to explain what he wants to happen at the summer fest, given that he's already handsome but he's ev
One week laterIt's been one week since I told about the blind date that mom planned for me, it's still normal when we talk about normal things like works and etc... But since then he's been busier and nothing strange is happening between the two of us.Whether I admit it or not, there is something inside of me that longs for that, whenever we have time just the two of us, I hope and my disappointment never fails me."Lia, it's a miracle you didn't have lunch with Sir today?" Sheena, a new employee like me, sat next to me, "You're at the canteen this week.""He said he has a private lunch meeting with his friends, he doesn't need a secretary there." I laughed and spoke again, "Another thing is that I still have a lot of remaining works that need to be finished, the summer fest is coming up and I don't want to be the reason for the delay.""Ohh! Is that so? Is the person in the private meeting really a friend? Maybe the rumored fiancé, the company will not be inherited immediately if h
Mom woke me up early even though it was still lunchtime when I had to meet her friend’s son, it was obvious that she was even more excited than me. Dad didn't say anything about it at all, he didn't want to interfere with Mom's wishes and I understand."Hurry up and we'll go to the salon, you can't just go there looking like that." She hurried to me to sit down to eat.Even though I wanted to disagree, I just closed my mouth tightly and started eating, a little bit nervous because I didn't want to embarrass my mother in her friend. After all, I also expect that the blind date is going to work out.If everything becomes fine then, there is nothing wrong for me to keep dating him. If I put in some effort maybe good things will happen, and maybe I will finally have someone who will be serious with me.~"Come on, Lia, you'll be late if you act so slowly." Mom was already outside the car and she was hurrying to get me out, while Dad was left inside the car to find a parking lot.We are al
Darius's POV“Damn!” I couldn't help but curse as I waited for her, office hours will start at 5 minutes, yet she still has not arrived yet. "It's been a week, but we haven't talked yet."I threw myself down on the chair, why am I being impatient? Even I could not understand myself right now, this is not the first time she is late.My body on the swivel chair quickly sat up straight, I immediately opened my computer and acted like I was busy doing something when I heard the doorknob ring. I didn't look at her, all I did was wait for her to greet me."Good morning, Sir." He said politely.Unlike the soft voice I expected, a male voice echoed in my ears. I quickly raised my head to look at him and immediately registered a confused reaction on my face."W-what..." It's too late before I change my reaction, he scratched the back of his neck."Sorry, I'm a little late, Sir. I received it too late, so now I will sub as your secretary." I don't know if he's nervous or what, he can't look at
Lia's POVMy hand was cold as I followed him walking into the familiar hotel with a bar, of all places why was he want here? I promised myself that I won't come here again, I'm with someone else but he still comes to my mind..."What's wrong, is this the first time to enter this place?" His eyes looked at me with concern, obviously wondering if I would be uncomfortable.I don't want to ruin this day, we get along. I tried to smile with the assurance that everything was ok, "No, actually my friend and I also went here last time. Their service is good and not boring.”"Really?" He happily said, "To be honest, the owner of this hotel and bar is my friend." He said excitedly.It was like cold water was poured on me because of what he said, what if the owner of the hotel and bar recognized me? "Is that so, maybe you're always here?"He shook his head as if I was thinking wrong, "Most of the time I'm on a business trip, I don't get to be with them when they're having fun. Working in the cor
