Lucas POV"Are you sure about this?" Denver asked from the other line with a worried voice."Yes, just do what I said and make sure to contact Naomi right now regarding all the benefits she'll have for working in my company.""Okay then. Is everything okay there?" He asked again.I get it, he's concerned for me and for my girlfriend and I'm thankful for that, but I made this drama so I think I could handle it. But about the wristwatch? I don't have any idea that Mrs. Kim stole it. Now I'm wondering how would I get it back from her if I already sent her away."Yeah, I have to go, see you later." I said as I hung up the call and shove my phone back inside my pocket and turned off the faucet. As I stepped out from the bathroom, I heard Naomi's phone rang and I couldn't help but smile.My men are quick to oblige what I asked them to do. I stood at the doorway, staring at Naomi's surprised face. Well, who wouldn't get surprised if you suddenly have a house and a car. Actually, that's my ho
Naomi's POVI'm squeezing my head using both of my hands, the pencil nipped between my teeth and my eyes pierced at the blank paper in front of me. This will be my fifth time creating new designs because all four got rejected by Ms. Hannah, telling me that it's too simple, common and old styles so I had to redo all of my work and I ended up staring at the blank paper.She gave me a deadline before lunch, it's already 2 PM and yet I haven't done anything right.. for her, of course but my assistant praised the designs, or she's just being biassed because she's my assistant? "I think you need coffee." Chantelle sprung up from her chair and strutted her way out of my office without waiting for me to respond. I laid my head back to my chair and shut my eyes close, trying to figure out what kind of the design that witch would like. I dug deeper until the back of my head but still, but instead of an idea for the new designs, a realization hit me. I picked up all my drawings at the bin and
Lucas' POVIt would've been nice to be back in my own self, sitting at this soft Hi back man made faux leather chair, doing some paperwork— that I'm almost halfway through —, a good aroma of my favourite scented candles to help me relax and focus on doing my job as a boss. Not until my phone alarm twice this afternoon. I had to turn off the first one since I'm reading an important paper, then after 10 minutes, it alarmed again so I had to stop what I was doing and pick up my phone.I abruptly sprung up from my chair when I saw what the alarm was all about. "Shoot!" I exclaimed and ran outside of my office to my room. Grabbed the first shirt that I saw in the closet and I almost ripped off my long sleeve just to change them into a cheap shirt, not totally cheap but I think it's enough for Naomi to still see me as a poor guy. Then ran as fast as I could downstairs.My bodyguards greeted me as I arrived at the main door, one of them opened the driver's side of my car and I almost jumped
Naomi's POVI could see that Lucas was apprehensive about the job offer even if he's showing a lopsided smile to my cousin. I knew from then that he wasn't comfortable about taking a new job just right after he quit. I mean, I'm glad that Jamie wants to help, but if that means putting Lucas in an uncomfortable place, then I think he shouldn't go for it. I just have to think of a way to say this to Jamie without her, taking it in the wrong way. I extended my hand to Lucas, he smiled at me genuinely before reaching for my hand and we both made our way to the kitchen. "You don't have to accept it, if you don't want to." I whispered to him, tiptoeing near his ear."I don't know how to refuse, I'm shy." He replied, looking at me that he almost met my lips, good thing he didn't turn 90 degrees.I mean, it's normal for us to kiss but it's just not yet, we just had started a week ago and we're still knowing each other so kissing is the last thing we want to do for now."Sorry." He apologiz
Lucas POV"I want you to investigate someone for me.""Who?" Denver asked while stacking the papers that I had finished signing, after he nagged me to go home when he saw the left paperwork on my table."Jamie Kim.""Related to Naomi?" He asked, shooting me a quick glance and he continued to my drawer, taking out an attaché case and putting some of the papers inside."Her cousin." I replied, twisting my arm to stretch it since I felt a bit strain from signing a lot of papers since this morning. "I can feel that she's up to something about me." "She really dares huh?" We both stifled a laugh with that but I nodded my head because Jamie Kim is really something. I heard them talking earlier after I took the food from Henry outside the door. Eavesdropping is not my forte but when I heard her say that I'm hiding something, I stopped behind the wall and just listened to their conversation. "I don't know what's her problem with me." I shrugged my shoulders."Maybe because she saw you comi
Naomi's POVI started my day with a bright smile as I stared at the young fine woman looking back at me. My waist length hair tied in a tight bun with a bit of wavy hair out to accent my features. A white see through sleeves and folded at my elbows paired with fitted high waist jeans and a four inch silver platinum stiletto. I made one last round of admiring myself and made my way out of my new room. I took my keys out from the key rack, then I remembered, I don't know how to drive, so yeah, no driving car for today. I left some messages to Lucas and some rants about commuting in this beautiful outfit while holding a plastic bag, containing those briefs from last night that we found in one of the drawers.I still couldn't forget our conversation last night where he told me that there was a man following him. I knew it was Jamie's, she's the only person who's doubting my boyfriend which made me really confused as to why is she eager to know everything about Lucas?It's not like he's
Lucas' POVI was just staring at my friend, no words wanted to come out from my mouth, like they are hiding at the back of my throatIt is better than saying words that might lead us two into an argument. I looked at Jamie's pictures again, she was at her porch, getting in her car, talking to the P.I she hired inside the little coffee shop, then coming out and driving again, then she dropped by to the city library. I wondered if she's looking at me? Then another picture of her coming out from that place, then driving again into the Thick and Thin Fabric Fashion company. Wait, that is our rival company! She worked there? Why isn't she telling Naomi about this? But on the other hand, is that even necessary to tell?Yes, fucking yes. Naomi is my fashion designer. What if she steals one of her designs? I'm just hoping that she would never stoop to that level of betraying her cousin.Speaking of new designs, I noticed another sketch paper next to Denver and a plastic bag that I am so fam
Naomi's POVHis face was dark, eyes was burning in anger as he was looking at the bruise on my arm. The bruise that made by Ms. Hannah after she grabbed me with force and didn't let me go until I had to glare at her and told her to let go of me or I'm going to report her to Sir Denver. That bitch is really getting on my nerves. As much as possible, I don't want to have a nemesis in my workplace, but she's pushing me into my edge and I'm tired of the way she took advantage of her position, which is the girlfriend of the CEO.That's what she told me."What the hell is she even thinking of hurting you?!" Lucas growled through his gritted teeth and his jaw moving in the way that the sharpness of it emphasised more in his features."Relax, it's not that deep." I chuckled nervously. Though I don't want to show him that I'm getting a bit scared of how he reacted after he saw the bruise on my arm. I really don't know Lucas—yet. And I think that's the thing we have to acknowledge in this rel
