Too stunned to speak, Conall froze at the spot. Everything went dark and silent except for the palpitations of his heart that was clear and loud. He couldn't move at all as his whole body stiffened, it was the first time ever when he met a woman who was so proactive and bold. Taking advantage of him, she didn't even seem regretful."Wow, what a scene!" Upon seeing them in that position, one of the guys stopped the rests from walking towards them. "Someone is making out here. Geez, they should get a room at least!""Yeah, but good for them. Look at we singles, we don't have anyone to f*ck. What a bad luck!" "I don't think the girl went this way. Let's look for her somewhere else. Let's go." Waiting until she could no longer hear their voices, Irene finally took in a deep breath. Unaware of where her hands were, she leaned a little and moving a bit backwards, she relaxed her body against his big frame.He was so much taller than her that she looked like a puppy in front of a husky. Al
• The Next Day •Tying her hair in a bun, Irene casually settled on the bed. The dark patches under her eyes were clearly visible and she felt somewhat annoyed even though it was only morning. After coming back last night, she tried to fall asleep but his words kept coming back to her mind again and again, and as a result she rolled on the bed most of the night until at 3 am she could finally fall asleep. Heaving a sigh she stretched out her arms and smiled brightly, "Forget about the bad time. Let's see how I can start my day today."As she was about to head to the door, the notification sound in her phone suddenly made a noise. At first she kept ignoring it until it started ringing. Groaning, she picked up the call.As soon as she picked it up, Maria's overly fretful voice spoke from the other end of the call, "Iri, check the messages I've sent you. Oh my God, I still can't believe that it happened. How can it be? Who is she exactly?""Wait, wait hang on! What happened? Who's wha
MacMillan was losing his breath as the hot temperature was too much for him to take. As per Zoe's summoning, he came here an hour ago. Unlike he thought she kept him stand there like a statue without any water.Seeing Zoe appeared there, he finally let out a sigh of relief. "You are probably aware of the reason I've called you here.""Yes, I am. Old lady Zoe." MacMillan answered, showing respect."Then you may tell me who the woman was from last night." Zoe could have scared anyone with that serious tone of hers. But since MacMillan knew how she was in real, he didn't take it to heart. Far more, he had no choice.With his mouth shut and showing no interest in slipping up, MacMillan stood there with a straight face when his hands were crossed behind."Answer me."[You are all ordered to keep your mouth shut about what you saw earlier. No matter who asks, you can't say a word especially if it's my grandmother. Get that?] Remembering what Conall has ordered them, MacMillan bowed his head
Everyone left the store as they were not allowed to be crowded there. And Conall had made it clear to the public that none was supposed to publish what just happened in social media or he would sue them.The staff were taking away the bags that Irene left in a rage, when suddenly one of the bags dropped from her hand and the clothes in it fell on the floor."I'm so sorry, Mr. Hudson." With that the employee picked it up keeping her head down, since looking right into his eyes was a crime for all. As she was hurrying to leave Conall ordered in a cold tone of voice, "Wait a minute.""Yes, sir."Staring at the clothes in the bag with sharp eyes, he took it away from her hand. He checked it and then asked, "Is this one of the bags that Miss dropped a while ago?""Yes, sir."'This is a kid's clothes. Why was that woman buying a little boy's dress? As far as I remember her parents died long ago and she was an only child. Then...'Checking her portfolio he learnt everything about her, out o
° The Next Day °Getting down the car Ellaine ran towards the cafe only to come to a pause at the door. Seeing nobody present in the cafe except the two staff members, she looked at Roma who had the same reaction just like her."Is it not open today? Where is Mr. Angel?" Ellaine scanned the surrounding but she couldn't see any cars nearby so she was disappointed thinking that he didn't come. "What's wrong? Ella." Hearing his voice from behind her, her face lit up brightly. Upon seeing him the corner of her mouth stretched. She smiled and walking to him she said cheerfully, "You are here, Mr Angel." "Yes, let's go inside. Shall we?" Conall pronounced."Yeah but there's nobody available there." Pointing her finger towards the cafe she voiced.Conall smiled and added, "Because the cafe will only accept us.""Only us?""Yes, that's why. Since it's reserved no other customers are allowed here today." As he explained the reason, Ellaine nodded her in accord and walked with him inside.Mac
° The Next Day °Taking a sneak peek at the invitation card put on the table Irene looked back at the wall clock. She was invited to one of the business parties held in EXPLORE FANTE but she was reluctant to go there."Can I not attend the party?" With a lethargic tone, she asked Luxury. Though Luxury knew what she wanted, she answered uprightly, "No, you have to go because they invited you as the CEO of Desmond IO. You have been ignoring the invitations for long but you can't keep doing it anymore."Remembering about what Luxury told her she could only sigh in defeat. Irene never liked to go to those business parties no matter what kind of party it was as it didn't just give her any good feelings. It was quite stuffy and crowded in all those parties where rich people were an 'everyday member' so she didn't think that she belonged to such places and as a result she avoided whenever she was invited to a party in the past. That's why people never saw her face and it was a mystery whethe
Desisting near the balcony, Irene kept gaping at the night sky that was full of beautiful stars. She extended her hand in the air making a shape towards the beaming moon and smiled at it with watery eyes, "What a beautiful moon!"When she was admiring the moon suddenly a man approached her, " "Hello, Miss Miller. I am Jacky Kenneth, the CEO of SNS Enterprise."'How annoying! Why can't I enjoy some alone time without being interrupted by strangers? Geez!'Turning around Irene gave him a polite smile and greeted him the same, "Nice to meet you, I'm Irene."It felt kind of awkward since she didn't know him at all. Though as far as she remembered Luxury once told her about him and she especially reminded her to stay away from him as much as possible. Back then she didn't focus on him so she didn't remember his details at all."Uhmm, are you not enjoying the party? Everyone is dancing with their partners." Jacky mentioned, his focus was on her face and that was not giving her any good fee
Conall tilted her head back then lifted her chin. He pinched her nose closed. Taking a normal breath he covered her mouth with his... Applying chest compressions as she still didn't move, his eyes darted around the surroundings as if looking for someone who could help but unfortunately, there was nobody else present there.And he had no idea where he kept his phone at that time. "Miss Miller." He called out, touching her cheeks softly when his eyes were impatiently waiting to see her open her eyes. After some more tries, she finally came back to her senses. Coughing out the water that she gulped earlier, Irene struggled to breathe. That sudden fear of dying almost got her, Conall helped her sit and she rested her head against his chest. "Take some deep breaths." He instructed in a gentle voice.'I almost died... ' when she was taking deep breaths, suddenly she focused on hearing the loud thud near her ears. Feeling her head touched against something hard, as she looked up she saw h
