Deasy held her head, feeling its heaviness. As she opened her eyes fully, she slowly sat up, trying to remember what had happened to her.Then, one by one, flashes of the previous night's events began to play in her mind. Like a faulty cassette, it kept replaying, startling her."Deasy! What did you do last night?!" she exclaimed half-yelling. Peeking under the covers, she realized she was completely naked. "Oh my, did I make out recklessly again?" she half sighed while massaging her temple. "But who did I sleep with last night?"Deasy tried to remember. She carefully thought through the scattered puzzle in her mind, and she was convinced that there was a handsome man she met last night who took her home to her apartment."I'm sure that the guy I slept with last night was really handsome. But who is he?" she asked herself uncertainly. Then she quickly tapped her own head. "Ohhh, Deasy. Why do you make it a habit to sleep with just anyone! You're still heartbroken, and yet you're doing
It is uncertain how many times Deasy took a deep breath. While her mind suddenly recalled Veronica's words from yesterday, when they met at the coffee shop.Deasy closed her eyes tightly. After initially being indifferent, she suddenly felt worried for no reason. Afraid that Veronica's words might come true for her."Don't be crazy, Des. What if you get pregnant?""Oh, come on, Veronica. I only made out twice. Can I really get pregnant?""But you didn't use protection, did you?"Deasy shook her head."When you're drunk, you don't remember to use protection. The only thing on my mind that night was pleasure, pleasure, and pleasure. Plus, I wouldn't even know whether that guy finished inside or outside.""Oh my God..." Veronica exclaimed while shaking her head repeatedly. She never imagined that Deasy would be so random and reckless. "Be careful, or else I might hear that you're stressed and contemplating suicide because you suddenly got pregnant.""It's impossible," Deasy replied confi
Lucas had just finished buttoning his work shirt. As he reached for his glasses, his phone started ringing. Glancing briefly, he saw the name 'Chief Morales' which was none other than his father's contact, displayed clearly on the screen.For a moment, Lucas just kept staring at it. Standing still, he listened to the phone ringing until it finally stopped.Oddly, when the sound from his phone ceased, Lucas breathed a sigh of relief. He acted as though his father's call was like a death sentence he had to worry about.Feeling safe, Lucas continued to get ready before heading to work. He was about to put on his watch when he jumped in surprise. His phone was ringing again, non-stop this time, almost as if it demanded to be answered immediately.Lucas was well aware of his father's nature. The man behaved just like a moody teenager who insisted on terrorizing his girlfriend when their call was intentionally left unanswered. Besides, Lucas knew exactly what his father was going to discuss
"Can't we just skip the invitation altogether?"Deasy sounded lazily exasperated. At the moment, Veronica deliberately dropped by her apartment to pick her up and take her to the event.Both of them received invitations to attend a grand party. As women holding leadership positions, their presence was eagerly awaited by the host."You're unusually lazy. Back when we were colleagues, you used to be the first one to attend these invitations. You even went to the salon just to look the trendiest and outshine other staff or managers."Deasy, who was sitting on the sofa, let out a long sigh. Her eyes glanced at Veronica, who was also dressed neatly, ready to go to the party."Just not in the mood. In the past, when we went together, I wanted to show off my charm to young bosses or rich kids who attended these formal events.""Well, what's different now?""The difference is that there are rarely good-looking young bosses who attend these official events now. Most of them are old guys. So, w
"Mr. Lucas, do you want me to drive, or will you take the car yourself?"Felix observed Lucas as he prepared and put on his shoes. In a few minutes, the six-pack-bodied man was going to attend the subsidiary company's inauguration, as his father had instructed.Even though he was reluctant, Lucas couldn't really avoid it. Especially tonight, he had to go and bring Devina along with him."I'll drive myself. You can head directly to the event. We'll meet there.""Mr. Lucas, do you want to stop by somewhere first?"Lucas nodded. Rising from his seat, he reached for the key to the sports car that Felix handed to him."Yes, I have to pick up Devina first. The tribal chief will be angry if his beloved future son-in-law forgets to pick her up."Unconsciously, Felix laughed. Sometimes, he felt sorry for his boss. At his relatively mature age, Lucas had to bow to his father's decisions, whether it was about his career or life partner.What could he do? As the son and heir of the family, Lucas
Confused as he was suddenly pulled, Lucas turned around. The man froze for a moment when he saw the familiar face of Deasy."You..."For a few moments, Deasy was taken aback. She stared at the handsome man she had just called "darling" as if experiencing déjà vu.In her mind, Deasy was quite sure that the man she was looking at was the same guy she met a few days ago and invited for a one-night stand at her apartment.Oh my, he's the handsome prince I saw that night. So, I wasn't dreaming, right?"Are you...""Deasy... is this your new boyfriend for real?"Before Deasy could fully recover from her shock and finish her response, another man's voice interrupted and questioned at the same time.Daniel, Deasy's ex-boyfriend, looked equally surprised. He showed a mixture of bewilderment and doubt as he saw the man Deasy had just called and pulled to face them both."Y-yes," Deasy replied, nodding. Trying not to show her nervousness, she boldly and recklessly held the hand of the man she ha
A week had passed, but Deasy couldn't stop thinking about the handsome man she accidentally met at the inauguration event of the company's branch where she worked.Until this moment, she kept praying. Hoping that God would bring them together again and, if possible, they could develop a close relationship. Maybe they could date, or even take it to a serious level like marriage.For the sake of God, Deasy was willing. In her mind, she even imagined that even if she got pregnant, she would happily bear the child of a handsome man like Lucas.Remember! Lucas, the handsome one. With a six-pack body and undoubtedly smelling good. Not the nerdy, thick-glasses-wearing guy who wasn't attractive from any angle.Even though Lucas Orion insisted that he was the one Deasy had made out with twice, she still believed that the handsome Lucas was the one who slept with her the last night.It didn't matter to Deasy if Lucas Orion was the one who had tattoos of betta fish, catfish, or piranhas all over
"Pa... are you sure about introducing Lucas to all the staff and executives at Quantum Tech today?""What's wrong? Aren't you ready?"Before heading to the office, Lucas made a deliberate stop at his father's residence. Today, as instructed, he would be introduced for the first time as the new leader.According to the agreement of the company executives and commissioners, Lucas was chosen to replace Andreas Morales and take over the leadership of Quantum Tech, which was a subsidiary of the Dalton Group.Actually, as the youngest son and the most competent heir, Lucas was destined to be chosen as his father's successor sooner or later. Moreover, the leadership position at Quantum Tech had been vacant for the past year.However, Lucas did not expect it to happen so soon. It's not that he was unprepared. Lucas just thought that there were still many important tasks that he had not yet taken responsibility for or completed."It's not about being unprepared or unwilling. It's just that the
