Arielle feels a mix of anxiety and frustration as she faces all the board members who are shareholders of her company. She is nervous because the people who are against her management of the company may have found another loophole. At the same time, she is annoyed because no matter what she does, she cannot fully gain their trust as if she is not a trustworthy woman.If her parents were not kind, they would not have allowed other people to buy stocks in the company because they do not need shareholders. The company earns a lot of money due to the good management of her father without shareholders. If there were no shareholders, she would not have this problem now.Even if she is forcibly buying their small shares in the company, her money is still not enough. However, if she sells the land, house, and other properties left to her by her parents, that would be more than enough to pay for the shares of the board members. But she doesn't want to sell the inheritance left to her by her pa
Arielle was fixing her appearance in front of the mirror. She has a date today with Eric Montilla, the nephew of one of the shareholders of her company.Mr. Montilla spoke to her because he was trying to set her up with his brother's son. She wanted to decline the blind date with his nephew but she thought that if she refused, Mr. Agaston might think she didn't consider his suggestion.She has nothing to lose by agreeing to Mr. Montilla, so she agrees. She knows that no matter who her blind date is, she won't fall in love with them because her heart is already set on someone else.After giving herself a final look and seeing that her outfit was fine, she decided to go out of her room. She went down to the living room where Gun was waiting for her.Gun's forehead wrinkled and he frowned as he looked at her and walked down the stairs."What's the matter? Why are you frowning?" she couldn't help but ask as she approached him."Go back to your room and change your clothes," Gun ordered he
Arielle thought Eric would scold Gun when she stood up from his seat and seemingly got angry that Gun drank the wine that was supposed to be her. However, Eric simply stood up and gave Gun a sharp look, which the latter did not seem to care about, even if Eric was staring at him full of annoyance."It's okay. Just give me another one," he said to Eric. The man quietly sat back down, then called the waiter and asked for another glass. He poured the wine into the glass wine and this time, she was the one who received it. Gun tasted the wine earlier and it was fine, so it meant it was safe for her to drink.Ever since she got poisoned at the restaurant they had eaten at, Gun has been tasting any food she puts in her mouth if it was not cooked at her house. She just lets him be, as she does not want to end up in the hospital again. Aside from being a hassle because she has lots of postponed work the smell inside the hospital is also something she doesn't like."Cheers to our first meeting
Arielle swallowed hard as her gaze fell on Gun's red lips. She secretly prayed that he would move away from her, for she might not be able to resist the urge to grab the back of his neck and kiss his lips passionately. "I'm awake now," she said in a soft voice to Gun."Oh, yeah," was his short response. But he did not make any effort to increase the distance between them. He did not move away from her and continued to stare at her face as if memorizing every detail of it."Oh, yeah." She didn't know why she mimicked what he said. Her brain wasn't functioning properly, so she couldn't think clearly. The only things she could think about were his reddish lips and the rapid beating of her heart.She silently cursed in her mind when she saw his gaze drop to her slightly parted lips. Her heart beat even more erratically when she saw him swallow and Adam's apple move.She didn't know what kind of force was pushing her but suddenly her hand rose and gently stroked his Adam's apple on his ne
The sun was high up when Arielle woke up. As she opened her eyes, she saw Gun hugging her while sleeping, with a slight smile on the corners of his lips. She couldn't help but smile as she remembered what happened last night. Gun took her virginity on the sofa of her house.After what happened on the sofa, Gun carried her and brought her to her room. And inside her room, she couldn't count how many times they made love until they both fell asleep from exhaustion. The sun was already shining brightly when she woke up, so she had no intention of going to the office that day. She feels tired and sore all over her body.She lovingly caressed his smooth face. She had no regrets in her heart that he was the one she chose to give her purity to. She loves him. And she also feels that Gun loves her back.She was surprised when Gun suddenly grabbed her hand caressing his cheek and then she opened her eyes."Good morning," she greeted with a smile. She hid her embarrassment by smiling."You loo
"Allow my son to go on a blind date with you, Miss Simpson. Who knows, you two might like each other and we could become in-laws." This was the third time that Mr. Tuvalya had pleaded with her to agree to a blind date with his son. He had heard that her blind date with the nephew of another shareholder did not go well, so just like the other shareholders, he approached her and tried to arrange a blind date, if not with his son, then with his younger sibling or nephew."Okay fine. I will meet your son, Mr. Tuvalya. But I do not promise that my date with him will go well. We don't know, maybe what happened in my last blind date will happen between me and your son," she replied to Mr. Tuvalya to stop him from bothering her. She knew that she would not like his son either, just like what happened on her first blind date, especially since she already had an understanding of Gun.She doesn't want Gun to feel insecure when she goes on blind dates, so she promises herself that this will be th
Pancho's immediately darkened when Gun tasted all the food on the table without permission. And it seemed that Gun was deliberately trying to annoy the man because he showed Pancho how much he was enjoying the food he had put in his mouth. Even the expensive red wine did not escape Gun's palate. He tasted the red wine and then gave Pancho an annoying smile."It's all safe and delicious, Arielle. You can eat now," Gun said with a smile.Gun's actions of tasting the food and drinks before they were too awkward, but he did it for her own safety, so Arielle just endured the feeling of uneasiness.It's okay with her that Gun tastes all the food before she eats it, but it's not liked by anyone who eats with her in the restaurant. They don't understand her situation so they get offended, while Gun doesn't care whether the person she's with gets offended or not."It seems your bodyguard only saw delicious food now, so he couldn't resist tasting all the food on the table," Pancho said to her.
Hailey found out that the person she was on a blind date with was not actually Pancho Tuvalya, but a different man. Fortunately, Mr. Tuvalya called Gun because he couldn't reach her and immediately informed Gun about what happened. Apparently, Pancho was beaten up by three unknown men and is now in the hospital. Mr. Tuvalya only found out about what happened to his son when the hospital called him after his son regained consciousness.When Mr. Tuvalya learned about what happened to his son, he immediately called her to inform her, but since he couldn't reach her, he called Gun's phone and told him about his son. When Gun found out about that, he felt worried because she was inside the room with what turned out to be a fake son of Mr. Tuvalya.According to Gun, as soon as he opened the door, the fake Pancho Tuvalya was about to stab her with a fork, so he immediately drew his gun from his waist and shot the man who was trying to kill her.Now she really won't go on a blind date again.
