LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM} CHAPTER 10: OFFICE RUMORS.
Gloss POV The next morning began with stares. It started in the lobby. I could feel eyes on me the moment I stepped through the glass doors of Dream Corporation. The receptionist’s smile faltered halfway, her gaze flicking from my face to the elevator and back again. A low whisper passed between her and another worker, barely audible but sharp enough to cut through the hum of morning chatter. I pressed the elevator button and kept my face neutral. The metallic doors reflected a faint image of myself, calm, collected, pretending nothing was wrong. Inside, though, my stomach was tight. By the time I reached the executive floor, the whispers had already grown. The air felt heavier, the kind of tension that fed on curiosity and jealousy. A few people greeted me with forced politeness, others didn’t bother to hide their side glances. I walked to my desk, trying not to think about it. But of course, thinking about it was impossible when everyone else was doing it for me. Two a
LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM} CHAPTER 9: THE CEO'S MORNING ROUTINE.
Gloss POV Morning came too early. The system’s chime pierced through my sleep like a cold needle. I blinked up at the ceiling, disoriented for a second before I remembered the command it had issued last night. > Mission: Shadow the CEO from dawn till dusk. I sighed and dragged myself out of bed. The air was still, gray light sneaking through the blinds. My limbs ached from exhaustion, but the system’s missions didn’t allow disobedience. The last penalty had been enough to teach me that. I dressed quickly, tying my hair back and smoothing my shirt. There was no point trying to look impressive. Dream didn’t notice such things anyway. He was all control, silence, and precision, a man who could make an entire room feel smaller just by standing in it. By the time I reached his penthouse, the city outside was barely waking. His suite was spotless, the kind of sterile perfection that reflected him perfectly. Everything was white, gray, or black, arranged like pieces on a chessboard. He

Gloss POV I froze by the doorway, still gripping the note he left on my nightstand. Dream Lancaster stood there, half-leaning against the doorframe in his tailored suit, one hand in his pocket, the other holding his phone like he hadn’t just threatened to murder me again. “You’ve got five seconds to run,” he repeated. My body tensed. “You’re serious?” His brow lifted. “When am I not?” “Okay, just.. hear me out…” I started, then tripped over the edge of the rug. My arms flailed, the note went flying, and before I knew it, I landed squarely against his chest. The air left my lungs. His cologne hit me, clean, expensive, and dangerously distracting. For a second, neither of us moved. Then a sound I never expected broke the silence, a low, rough snort. I blinked, tilting my head up just in time to see it. His lips twitched, his shoulders stiffened, and then he laughed. Not loud, not dramatic, just a small, genuine sound that didn’t belong in this ice-cold penthouse. My jaw droppe
LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM} CHAPTER 7: LIVING WITH THE DEVIL.
Gloss POV Dream Lancaster’s penthouse looked like the kind of place built to intimidate anyone stupid enough to step inside. The kind of space that whispered money, power, and a distinct lack of warmth. Everything gleamed, black marble floors, silver accents, glass walls showing off a view of the city that stretched forever. I stood by the doorway clutching my bag, my reflection staring back at me from the spotless elevator door. This wasn’t a home; it was a museum for emotionally unavailable billionaires. Dream’s voice echoed through the silence. “You’re blocking the entrance, Rivera.” I jumped, moving aside quickly as he walked past me, his black coat flowing like a shadow. The moment he tossed his keys onto the counter, I swore the temperature dropped. He didn’t even look at me, just headed straight for the kitchen. The system chimed suddenly, that obnoxiously cheerful tone echoing inside my skull. [System Mission: Make the CEO laugh within 24 hours. Reward: +10 affection poi
LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM} CHAPTER 6: TENSION IN THE CAR.
Gloss POV The car door slammed behind me with the finality of a prison gate. I sat stiffly in the leather seat, staring out the window while the city blurred past. Neon lights bled into streaks of color, and I wondered briefly if I could fling myself out and make a run for it. Probably not. Dream’s driver looked like he could chase down a cheetah in a tuxedo. The air inside the car was suffocating, thick with expensive cologne and fury. Dream hadn’t said a word since the gala. Not a single word. He sat beside me, his suit immaculate as ever, one hand resting on his knee, the other clutching the door handle with quiet restraint. His jaw flexed once, twice. That was all the movement he allowed himself. But his eyes, those cold, silvery eyes, hadn’t stopped burning holes through me since the moment we got in. If looks could kill, I’d have been buried twice over by now. I swallowed hard and adjusted my tie, pretending to be fascinated by the dashboard. My heart thudded in my chest

Gloss POV“Don’t refuse, unless you want to die tonight.”“Now that I think about it, you really don’t have any choice.”Those words still echoed in my ears like a curse. Dream’s silver eyes didn’t just look at me — they cut through me. My spine went stiff, my brain screamed to say no, to shout it, to fight back just for the satisfaction of it. But then my survival instincts hit me like a slap across the face.The system chimed, cheerful and cruel as ever.[Main Mission Activated: Become the CEO’s Shield.][Task: Accept Fake Relationship Proposal.][Reward: +15 Affection Points.

My whole life is basically fake.”Dream tilted his head slightly, his tone flat. “So you accept.”“Do I even have a choice?”“You don’t.”“You made that clear,” I muttered. “Then yes, I accept.”He gave a small nod, calm and satisfied, as if he
