“Miss President, you don’t need to show up like that.”

Kiel pushed the door open for the lady, who stepped outside first. They were on their way to the parking lot and just got out of the lower lobby. 

By hearing this, Devyn chuckled. “Why?” she couldn’t help but recalled Miss Anna’s face, flustered at her sudden appearance. 

They reached the car and Kiel opened the door for her, then he went to the driver’s seat. “Please put on your seatbelt.” He turned on the engine as soon as the lady did what was told to her. 

The restaurant he asked for reservation wasn’t that far from the company, so they will be there in less than an hour. While he was driving, Devyn was checking her phone. She’s looking at the datas she asked for her employees. 

“President, don’t overwork yourself. I can review that for you back in the office.” Kiel makes a turn. He glanced at the lady quickly before going back to the road. 

“It’s fine. I just want to finish this. I don’t want to worry over small things.” She sighed and closed her eyes for a bit. You can see the exhaustion in her. “I don’t want a disturbance while I’m enjoying the party.” She added.

Kiel felt guilty. He should be the one arranging her partner for the month and he failed to give her satisfaction. She didn’t even get the essence she needed for the month. For sure, she was really looking forward to the party tonight.

“We are here, President.” he exited the car and went to the other side, opening the door for the lady.

Two waiters welcomed them and guided them to the private dining room. With a smile on their faces, they handed the menu book. “Please order to your stomach’s content.”

Kiel flipped the menu and looked at the lady. “President, what do you want to eat?” he asked, scanning the foods on the list. Madame Evelyn didn’t tell him to look over at Devyn. The woman also told him to make sure that her daughter was eating healthy foods. 

Devyn put down the menu and leaned her elbow up to her chin. “How about you order for me, Mr Kiel? If you’re my assistant, you’ll know what I want to eat.” she smirked. 

Kiel nodded. “Very well.” He scanned the menu and finally made an order.

The two waiters left them and said to wait for a couple of minutes. 

“What do you think of the party?” Devyn started a conversation. “For sure, the Fenrir Clan wanted something, right?”

Kiel glanced at her. “I am really not quite familiar with them. But I heard about them on the news. They might be going into something right now and need more hands. What do you think, President?” he asked.

“Hmm..” Devyn tilted her head a little, looking at the glass wall near their spot. “They're all just the same. No matter what status they have, they’re just looking for something that satisfies them.” then she giggled, looking back at the man. “Isn't that what I look like, too?” 

A simple smile curved up on Kiel’s lips. “You’re wrong, Miss President. You’re not like that in my eyes.” he said.

“Really?~,” Devyn mischievously smiled. “Then what kind of boss am I in Mr Kiel’s perspective?” she asked, leaning closer.

The guy cleared his throat. “President Devyn is a good person. You’re always considering your employees’ opinions before making your decision.” he said. “I am thankful to work under you.” He also looked at the view in front of his eyes. The tall building that almost reaches the skies.

This wealthy city he once wanted to escape now feels comfortable because he’s working under Devyn. He wanted to thank her that much, but he also didn’t want to look pitiful in her eyes. It was enough for him to give her everything as an assistant. 

“That fluttered me,” Devyn teased. “Do you want something? 20% extra for the month’s salary?” She asked, amused by the expression she just saw. 

Kiel bowed. “I am content with my salary right now. Just working under you is enough. It’s my honor, President.” he checked his watch, wondering when will their order would arrive. 

But Devyn used it to her amusement instead. “Mr Kiel, you’re always this serious, even at work. How come you manage to remain calm even though I’m yelling at you sometimes?” she leaned more, closing the distance between them. 

“Do you really want others to see you as my obedient pet?” she smirked. “If I remember, you’re the crybaby when we were young.”

Again, that trigger. Kiel felt the lump in his throat and his finger twitched under the table. He suddenly felt these tingling needles slowly piercing him. He already forgot those memories. The fact that they were once childhood friends. 

“It’s because I separate my personal life from work.” he replied, calming himself down.

Devyn pursed her lips. “I know, but you are too serious. You’re just making it easier for me to tease you more.” her eyes turned to him as if she meant what she really said. “I do really like that expression of yours. I wonder what you’ll look like if you’re having sex with someone.” 

Kiel gulped. “If you’re asking for my personal preferences. I am too busy to date anyone, Miss President.” his face remained composed. 

“And stop teasing me. I am still in my uniform and suit, so I am here as your assistant. I don’t have time for that,” he added. 

Devyn seemed satisfied. She leaned back and crossed her legs, then looked at Kiel with her intense eyes. “Then how about I strip off your clothes and tease you then? Would it make you not my assistant anymore since you’re not wearing any suit or uniform?” 

Kiel cleared his throat. “President, it’s inappropriate to think of someone like that.”

He stood up. “Please excuse me for a while. I will check our orders. I will tell them to be quick next time.”

Kiel exited the private dining room and bumped into the waiters with their food on the way. He felt relieved and told them to serve it properly for he will go to the bathroom quickly.

    When they reached the mansion, Madam Eveleyn was already waiting on the porch. A sweet smile formed on her face as she ordered Albert to help Kiel carry those baskets.It was about to rain, and luckily it didn’t get into them. Devyn approached her mother for a hug and then told her to get inside. Seeing Kiel, the woman was smiling ear to ear. “How are you, Kiel?” Madam Evelyn gave the guy a hug. “Is my daughter giving you a hard time?” she teased.“No madam,” he replied when they parted. “The President is diligent as always.”Madam Evelyn married her eyes and raised one brow. “You’re not trying to sugarcoat it, right?” From the back garden, another woman came in. “What do we have here?” Veronica’s voice gets all of their attention. “I see Kiel,” she grinned with hatred next to Madam Evelyn.The two women laughed at each other, reminiscing these two childhood memories that they imprinted in their thoughts.“Time really does fly fast,” Veronica whispered to the Madam, who nodded in a

    After minutes of waiting, she finally saw the silhouette of the man familiar to her. She sighed and stayed beside the road while the traffic enforcers were guiding the other cars that got between the minor accidents. “I’m very sorry! I will pay for everything!” the old man, who was a taxi driver that accidentally bumped into Devyn's car, bowed and apologized to her. Seeing how expensive that red car was, he didn't know what to do but apologized.He was just a poor taxi driver, and the car wasn’t even his in the first place. He had a family to feed and a sick daughter. “Please give me a chance! I don’t want to quit this job, Maam!” He pleaded again because he knew that rich people like them will never turn an eye to him and will sue them immediately.Another man approached them. He stood next to the lady and asked. “What happened here, Miss Lowell?” Devyn replied to him. “Just a small accident. Get his name and the contact number.” Kiel looked at the old man who’s still bowing his

    SATURDAYKiel woke up early today for morning exercise. Jogging from the apartment complex to the nearest park there. When he arrived, the sun was already peeking its rays to welcome the morning. He sat on the empty bench there and drank his water. He used to go to gyms every weekend, but now that he has become busier, he chooses to jog and exercising at home instead. He gulped half of the bottle and wiped the side of his lips.The sweet taste from that flavored healthy water reminds him of something. It’s like his first kiss. That first kiss he wanted to give to someone who he really liked. The horizon that was dim earlier slowly started to light up, welcoming the morning. That red and orange combination of the sky reflected in his pupils, showing a new day with new hope.The people there were also amazed by the sunrise. Everybody halted and watched that beautiful phenomenon. After minutes of admiring the sun, Kiel picked up his bottle and started to walk. He has this cafe, he’s a

    The elevator opened, and she immediately took the lift. However, when her heels stepped in, the tension switched in her front which made her stumble upon someone, who happened to be inside the elevator too.“Mr. Kiel?” Anna widened her eyes as she looked up with the boxes between them. Kiel took the box from her and supported her to stand straight. “What are these boxes for, Miss Anna?” he asked.“Oh, thank you. It was the things that’s needed on the third floor. The manager called me to submit it.” She tucked her hair in ears.Feeling how heavy it was for the lady, he looked at her and asked. “Where’s Mr Mo? He should have carried this for you. This is quite heavy.”The lady chuckled. “The truth is, I’m the only one that's left in the office when the third floor called. So I happened to know about it. I don’t want to give it to anyone since I’m used to carrying documents too.” She replied. “I see, let me help you then.” Kiel checked his wristwatch. 30 minutes have already passed, a

    “Good morning, Mr Kiel.”As usual, the employees in the lobby greeted him. He nodded before entering the elevator. Today he is going to meet the new team manager of the production department. He had a little interview with him.Of course, to make sure that the incident will never be repeated again, he wanted to see him for himself. The employee in the production team almost gasped upon seeing him. It is very rare for the guy to come here, and everyone wanted to see his face after what happened. They were, of course, feeling very overjoyed to finally get Mr Jin down in his place.“Mr Arnoux! Nice to see you here!” It was Ivan. One of the most energetic new recruits there. They often called him sunshine because of his goofy vibes.“Nice to see you again, Ivan. How’s work?” Kiel asked, leaning on the cubicle to check if he’s indeed working or playing chess online.“Mr Arnoux, you don’t need to check me. I’m working hard here.” Ivan pouted, pointing at his monitor. The other chuckled be

    “Put him in the sales department.”Devyn replied after hearing the ruckus that happened a while ago. She knew that the sales department was harder.“He should know his place. How come he became a team manager without knowing the new rules?” she continued typing. “She needed a punishment.”“I will do that right away.” Kiel didn’t talk any further since the lady was quite busy finishing something. “Do you want a coffee?” Devyn nodded. “Yes please. Thank you.”Kiel left right away. He already has the petition of putting Mr Jin in the sales department. The work there is much harder than the production team. It’s where you are assigned to visit a client’s home and pursue them to buy a product. Devyn was right. Mr Jin needed to appreciate other people’s hard work and efforts. He’s still lucky because the lady put him in that section. If it were some other company president, he would surely lose his job right on the spot. Kiel delivered the coffee and went back to the media department. As
