Lucas'POVMy heart is beating frantically, not because I'm nervous, but because I'm furious. I just need to keep it cool for Naomi not to notice that I'm in rage.First, Hannah hurt Naomi, that witch should be fired by tomorrow, I don't care if she knows everything about my company. How dare she to tell Naomi that she's my girlfriend?Second, how the hell that receptionist didn't even know his boss? The owner of this restaurant? I just had to point at him my name under the clipboard and literally wrote that Mr. Lucas will be here tonight and he's the boss.Third, this motherfucker manager kept nauseating me even if I told them not to bother me at all once I got here.And fourth, this woman. I don't even know this woman at all, well maybe at some point I did, but couldn't remember her at all. Like is she one of my flirtings before? Or the one who just wants to flirt with me?Naomi was looking at me in 'what the fuck' look, after my bodyguards dragged the woman out of the restaurant, I m
Naomi's POVLucas' face was in flabbergasted again for the third time tonight. I think I'm giving him too much pressure by telling him my story, or maybe because he was surprised about my revelation. I mean, who wouldn't? I'm working in LM Fashion Incorporation as a fashion designer, but I'm also resenting Mrs. Manoban because of what she did long years ago."Sorry, I shouldn't have said that." "No no, I'm curious and confused." He said, shaking his head furiously."Why?" I asked with soft chuckles."You are working at LM company, and you are mad at one of the Manoban. So that means you have a plan?" He asked, though I could see the curiosity in his eyes, I still couldn't help but to feel off the way he looked at me and his smile that barely reached his eyes."Okay, in my defense, before you think something else why I want the job in LM, I have nothing against that company nor the new CEO, I just love that company that's why I chose to work there and whatever resentment I had toward
Lucas'POV"I heard from Henry that you fired Hannah?" It was more of a sentence than a question but I could hear the hesitation in his voice that's why it still turned out as a question."I told you to reprimand her but she gets even worse." I huffed an annoying sound as I put my phone down on the counter and put it on speaker. I poured myself a glass of scotch and leaned my back against the countertop and crossed my legs. "What did she do?""Oh, no one told you that she hurt Naomi and left a bruise on my girlfriend's arm?""What? When did it happen?!" Denver asked in shock."Last week.""Really? Last week and you didn't even tell me about it? I would've fired her on my own!""Relax, I don't know why I waited for you to leave before I fired her. Guess I assumed that you're going to take her side." I chuckled, sipping on my scotch while staring at the big LED monitor in front of me where I watch my girlfriend inside her room.I asked my men to connect the CCTVs in my company to my moni
Naomi's POVA man suddenly approached and extend his arm at me, smiling all ears and looks so expensive just by looking at him and so I already know that he's rich and not some person you'll meet on the street and will do the catcalling to every women walked by in front of him.I looked behind me, to my left and to my right, which I saw my boyfriend still tying his shoelace for almost a minute. Did he even know how to tie them?"Uh sorry but do I know you?" I asked, not wanted to be rude but also not wanting to be nice either. I really hate these kinds of men.He looked down to his hand that's still hung in the air and closed them before shoving it inside the pocket of his coat. "Sorry, I just can't help to approach you. You really caught my attention, I'm Jacob by the way." He extended his arm again for the second time.I turned to Lucas, but he's still bent on his knees, then to Dan, who's looking at the guy with a frown on his face. Then back to the guy."Sorry, I can't seem to rem
Lucas' POVIs it only me? Or my girlfriend looks so devastated since she got out from LM. I was waiting outside my own company— as usual — and when Naomi got out, her face seemed so distressed and there was cute little wrinkled skin in between her two eyebrows and she's frowning deep with a hint of a scowl. She hopped on my bike without saying anything, not even a hi when she saw me which she usually does whenever she sees me outside. So instead of asking her what's wrong, I just put my helmet on after I put hers on and I brought her to a place that I knew she needed. I ordered two cups of ice cream, one milk flavored ice cream and one chocolate flavor. I shoved her the cup after I sat across from her.I watched her eat the milk ice cream, and her eyes pierced the cup like it was her enemy. She gripped the plastic spoon so tight that I knew any minute by now, it'll snap."So.." "I want to quit." She stated, my heart thudded and I held my breath. "To my job.""Wait, why? What happene
Naomi's POVThe day of the event has finally come. Everyone is so busy, pacing back and forth, here and there, papers on their hands, rushing footsteps, sometimes running, clothes are everywhere and so are the materials to make all the designs I created. "Ms. Kim, a little help here?" Marian asked, one of the designers like me but since she wasn't the one on the list, she was instructed to help the production staff to prepare all the models and the clothes they were going to wear in the runway. "Yes, what is it?" I asked as I approached her."So this one, I don't know where it does belong, was it on the upper or lower waist?" She asked, holding a fabric belt."This will go here." I told her and wrapped it around the guy model. "I think it's better if we don't tie it, just let it down." "Much better, thank you." Marian said, offering me a smile."Ms. Kim? We'll start within five minutes." Chantelle said, her head peeking from the curtain and behind it, all the CEO's of other compani
Lucas' POV"What the hell are you thinking?!" Denver shouted as soon as the car door slammed shut."What the hell are you thinking?" I asked the same question. "Why did you tell her that the CEO will meet her? I'm the CEO and you're going to bring me in—.""In your private doctor, you fucking idiot! A sane person would never jump out of the balcony from the second floor!""If I don't do that, she'll see me inside of that VIP room!" I yelled back frustratedly, wincing in pain after I broke my ankle when I landed wrong on the ground just because of a fucking small rock. "And have you seen a balcony in a bungalow?!""That doesn't matter, I can create one with that but you, jumping like that is so unnecessary!" Denver smacked my head and I heard my driver stifle a chuckle but he covered it by clearing his throat when I hit his shoulder."Sorry boss." He apologized and stepped hard on the gas to add more speed."Why are you so afraid that she might see you? Ain't you planning to reveal you
Naomi's POV"You looked like a mess." I commented when I got inside my office and saw Chantelle leaning down, face kissing the table."I feel like I'm a dogshit that’s been stepped-in twice." Chantelle groaned as she lazily dragged her ass up from the chair and walked groggily to the door."Go back in here." I said, pointing at the chair she was sitting on earlier. "I'll make you a coffee." I said and pulled her back and I walked outside my office to the pantry. When I got there, I bowed to the guy inside, having his breakfast then I immediately proceeded to the corner to make two cups of coffee, one strong black coffee for Chantelle as it is what she needed the most to remove her hangover and one milk coffee for me. While I'm preparing the coffees, I heard the door open behind me. I didn't bother to look because I was busy putting hot water in the mug. I don't want to hurt myself that's why."Yeah, like I can't believe that she would do that." A woman's voice said and she seemed to
