Keith ended the call with Alan with a deep sigh. In fact, he had told him many times to take a two-week vacation, but his best friend kept insisting that a week was more than enough for him. Considering that his best friend was a workaholic type person, he should not be surprised to hear Alan's refusal.
It was just that he was worried. Because of his job, this man rarely spends time with his boyfriend, Tatius. Especially from their conversation on the phone earlier, he was sure there was something wrong with Tatius that made his friend consider his offer some time ago to recruit Tatius as a cafe employee. Maybe he should also use his power as Alan's boss to give them more time off once they get back from Bali.
His mind twisted the memories when they were in high school. Alan, people could say, was the type of popular bad boy who always sought after by all the students in his school. His best friend always changing
Keith almost jumped in surprise when he realized that Marie was standing behind him, smiling confidently, as she stopped him from escaping. He turned around, looked at Marie with blinking eyes."Err, that ...," he realized the gazes of all the customers—mostly women—who were now waiting for an answer from him. "I ..."For a moment, he threw a sharp gaze at Aura, who was now whistling to avoid his gaze, serving customers who had just entered their cafe. Marie smirked at his reaction. Without waiting long, the woman immediately kissed his left cheek."It's taking too long to get your answer, so let me take care of it," Marie grinned and held his hand tightly, then led him out of the cafe, pulling him up in front of a Volkswagen car, which was parked neatly on the curb in front of the cafe, before the women managed to catch him. His hand was still on the cheek that the woman had kissed earlier, feeling a warm tinge that must have now created a blush on his
Aura changed the sign in the cafe where she worked to 'CLOSED' she got rid of their customers—more precisely, asking the last customer to leave their cafe immediately, Natalie Chandelier—a young woman who has had her eye on Keith since his return to Rose city on his return from Italy. Since they were in high school, the three of them have been popular and have always been the centre of attention. She and Alan become a badass couple, who always break the rules they did not like before Alan turns completely into the type of guy who devotes himself to love Tatius after nearly costing his boyfriend's life because of his own stupidity. Meanwhile, Keith, who had a cute face that hid his true strength, always manages to cultivate the instinct of people—who did not really know the man—to protect him if they did not know his true background family.Not many people believe every time they had to explained to people that Keith was not their subordinate, but the leader of their
The handkerchief that she got from a mysterious woman that helped her before was now covered with blood from the cut she received while protecting her bag from the snatchers, but it did not prevent Patricia from giving a happy squeal. She sat in a chair a little way from the window, not daring to see what the woman was doing outside. Her body still felt limp from her fear, so all she could do was lean back against the chair while looking around this cafe.Honestly, this was the first time she had passed through this area. Not without reason, she walked with no direction to bring her to this area in Rose city that she had never walked through it before. It was her heartbreak that led her down to this route, not knowing that this area had a high enough crime rate. She could tell for sure based on her own experience when she walked casually while looking at the screen of her smartphone, and suddenly two men appeared beside her, immediately grabbed her bag just like that. Refl
Marie looked at the face of Keith, who was sleeping beside her. Her mind was already filled with cheers and trumpets accompanied by the sound of drums, like a very loud festival—the sign of her success in winning Keith's heart after her struggle for even two months was not in vain, even though she did not show it on her face. Slowly she brushed Keith's little bangs, which prevented her from enjoyed seeing the entire facial structure of the cute-looking man in front of her eyes, wanting to make sure that what they had just been through was not a dream, but real.The man groaned softly, before resuming his sleep, causing her to reflexively withdraw her hand out of fear that she would wake her husband up if she continued to do so.Then she changed her sleeping position back with her eyes glued to the ceiling of her bedroom.This was definitely not a dream. The pain she got during their first sex after their marriage explained all of it. The pain was worth
Alan sat on the edge of the Renon field walkway, watching the rows of local residents doing morning exercises in front of the flagpole facing the south—according to Robert's words—watching the crowd of local people dressed in gymnastics following the movement of the gymnastics instructor, who was standing in front of them, leading the crowd. He did the morning exercises with such passionate enthusiasm that even amazed him. His boyfriend also followed the gymnastics instructor's movements with gusto after being dragged away by a woman they did not even know, inviting him as if Tatius were her own son. His eyes subconsciously savoured the sight of Tatius' body in a workout suit, which was much more seductive to him than the body of a woman in her early twenties with perfect curves, who was busy getting his attention. He refrained from approaching his boyfriend and taking him away from here, resuming their evening session at their villa. No, no. He could not do
Keith sat down, crossed his long legs wrapped in dark brown trousers, leaned back in his work chair, which was not soft but still made his back much more comfortable after looking for a lot of document that he needed to read since this morning. His hands massaged between his eyebrows, took a deep breath. The report files he received from Kate and also Viktor—Alan's representative during his best friend's vacation in Bali—had just finished reading by him. Coupled with the information he had just received from Aura about his request the other day, it was clear that it was not all favourable information for him.First, Skylar group's problem. It had been six months since his arrival to Rose city that the group was always looking for trouble with his group, thinking that he had seized their territory without their permission. Even though the territory he currently controlled was a gi
This was definitely not a good thing.Marie closed the call while chewing her lips, could no longer hide her anxiety that immediately adorned her beautiful face as soon as she ended her call with Keith. Her tapered fingers tapped at her desk, creating an echo throughout her office room, which only had her in her office room. Her eyes returned to her computer screen, rereading the report she had just received from her personal assistant—Felicia Ulbright. A woman who was dexterous and fast-moving with minimal orders. Simply put, taking her anywhere makes all her activities much faster and more practical. Unfortunately, the woman's practicality simply did not help her deal with her company's declining share boom.She did not blame Felicia along with her team of secretaries—who were trying their best to deal
He finished reading all the reports on his desk. Among all the report he received from Kate as well as Aura, only one worried him. Marie's safety. Aura had just told him that someone was trying to target Marie, explaining the presence of the man who was going to attack Marie yesterday. But that was all the information he had just got because Aura needed a little more time to investigate the identity of the man who had intended to attack Marie yesterday after he told his best friend this morning.Considering that his best friend was currently in the cafe, and he was at the headquarters right now, there was no other choice for him but to wait for further information in Aura's report.For his anxiety about Marie's safety, he firmly refused Marie's offer to drop him off this morning, as usual, reasoning that there was a sudden mat
