Naomi's POVEverything is ready, everyone is in position and they are just waiting for the event to start. I was preparing myself for the event tonight while my boyfriend is nowhere to be found. He told me before he left the house that he needed to take care of something about his company so I let him go but he promised that he would drive me to the venue and he'll be back before 7."You looked so beautiful." The woman behind me amusedly stared at me and I could see her through the reflection of the mirror in front of me."Thanks, you looked gorgeous too." I smiled. "I wonder if my ex boyfriend would tell me the same thing once he sees me." Jamie said as she stood up gracefully from my bed and she walked behind me, reaching for the zipper of my dress. She pulled it up slowly while staring at me in the mirror. "I'm so envious of you, Naomi.""There's nothing to envy about me." "You have a billionaire boyfriend who's all wounds up over you." "And so am I, we just so happen to unders
Naomi's POVI don't know if I should feel bad for the organizers of the event because everyone is outside with me and Romina. They left the party just so they would witness how I am going to humiliate my biggest bully. They know who I am, some of them even wear my designs. And I really don't know why Romina is still in denial that she knows who I am and even assumed the worst things.We waited for another three minutes and I could hear her keep scoffing while saying that I am just making things up and she's sure as hell that I sold my body to get the job.No bitch, I didn't sell my body. Because I am willing to give it to him because I love that man who loves to act like a kid in front of me.Another more minute and Jamie tapped my shoulder and pointed at the car pulling onto the curb and stopped in front of us. Lucas' car windows are heavily tinted so they couldn't see who's inside.Then the door opened, left foot came out, then Lucas' head popped out followed by his whole body. I
Naomi's POV"Good morning, welcome to Little Café." I greeted the first customer that arrived early this morning and bowed my head a little after I opened the door for him. I was confused as to why he's not entering the shop and his feet stayed in front of me. Then he turned to face me so I looked up and saw a pair of rounded doe eyes looking at me with nothing but dull in them. It's Lucas, the young man librarian who works at the library two blocks away from this coffee shop. He's our regular customer and always requests for the same cup of cappuccino. I'm actually amazed that he never missed a single day of dropping by in this shop to have his cup of coffee. He was a good looking young man but he's a nerd, always wearing thick eyeglasses, a cheap shirt and jeans paired with cheap sneakers. I know about fashion because I graduated with a Bachelor of fashion design in one of the biggest universities in Seoul. So I have the right to judge his everyday outfit."Morning, Naomi." He gree
Lucas's POVWhile I'm watching Naomi get into the building, my phone rings inside my pocket. I sighed deeply before fishing it out and answered the call without looking at the caller."What?" I asked irritatedly."Are you the one standing in front of the building?" I looked behind me and saw a familiar SUV and a man got off, his hand holding the phone near his ear. "What are you doing here?" The voice on my phone asked while the owner of the voice walked towards me."Stop." I said and Denver immediately halted his steps and he slowly retreated back to the SUV. "Why are you guys here?" I asked while looking up to Naomi and waved my hand in the air."Uh we have to kidnap the daughter of Ms. Kim since she doesn't have plan to pay us." He replied.My eyes immediately widened when I noticed my men behind Naomi. "Tell them not to touch her or I'll kill all of you!" I whispered hardly through the speaker. I saw how Denver rattled to warn my men and luckily, they did not touch her. They then l
Naomi's POVI burst out into a loud harsh cackle of laughter after I heard Lucas' proposal. I mean, he literally asked me to be his girlfriend in return for helping me to get my dream job. I slapped her arm lightly while still laughing but Lucas' face didn't even change so I stopped and tilted my head a bit backward and looked at him amusedly."Are you serious?" I asked."Yes." He replied."Oh my God. Thank you for making me laugh Lucas, but I don't think your janitor brother could help me to get that job—." I stopped when my phone rang. I held my index finger in the air to ask for one moment as I answered the call. "Hello?""Hi good morning Ms. Naomi Kim, this is Hannah from LM fashion incorporation and we would like to invite you for an interview and we hope to see you this afternoon at exactly 1 PM." My eyes slowly widened along with my mouth and couldn't find any words to respond to the woman on the other line. "Ms. Kim? Are you there?""Uh y-yes ma'am. Thank you! Thank you so much
Lucas POV"I want that woman out of my company.""You can't fire Hannah, she's the only person who knows everything about your company." Denver said as he poured my glass another shot of whiskey and handed me the glass. After I walked Naomi to their apartment, I decided to go home and summoned Denver just to tell him that I want to remove Hannah from my company since she almost ruined my plan. I saw how devastated Naomi was after Hannah walked out on her, thinking that she didn't got the job. Which made me also think that Naomi will take back her words in agreeing to be my girlfriend. If that really happened, I am not only going to fire Hannah, but I will ask my men to abduct her and torture her till she repent and die afterwards."That woman walked to Naomi in the middle of the interview, you think I would tolerate such an act like that in my company?""I know, I was there." Denver said as he sat next to me. "I was upset too, that's why I warned her after the interview and she said
Naomi's POV"Do you really have to be an asshole?" I hissed at Nathan after Lucas left the coffee shop with a frown on his face. "What?" Nathan chuckled, looking at me like he did a big crime. "What did I do?""Nevermind." I rolled my eyes and turned my back to him to prepare another customer's order. To be honest, I don't have anything to say about Nathan, he's a good and goofy guy, but sometimes, he would cross the line without him noticing so I always remind him. There was one time when we were having a night out after our shifts, he kissed Ashley, one of our coworkers. Of course the tension started between them because Ashley's boyfriend got mad when he found out. I just told Joe that Nathan was drunk that time and couldn't remember what he did.They believed me but still, there's already a gap between Ashley and Nathan. I wonder how they managed to finish their shift working at the same hour after I begged Ashley to be relieved one time."Are you mad because I made your admirer
Lucas POVIf it wasn't for Naomi's cousin, I wouldn't leave her side and wait for her until her final interview gets finished while I'm outside of my own company, wearing the same disguise to cover my identity because the security guards on duty know me. But why does Jamie have to be with us all the time and offer a ride for my girlfriend? She's a nuisance and even if I want to get rid of her off, I can't. She's the only person who took care of Naomi since her father died because her mom literally don't give a fuck about Naomi.Well, as long as she's not going to interfere in our relationship, then I'll let her go around my girlfriend."Sir, Ms. Kim is already in the company." One of my men tells me."Good, open the door." I ordered and my men moved to forcibly open the door in front of me. Mrs. Kim got startled upon seeing a lot of men entering their apartment. "Hey! What are you doing here?!" I heard her yell. I heaved a deep breath and entered the apartment but was immediately dis
