When Riley woke up an hour later, her body was much more relaxed. She gave a small smile when she saw Serra, who was waiting for her with a bright face.“Miss Riley, you woke up yourself without me even waking you up. You sleep very well?” asked Serra and she corrected her sitting position."Yes, a pretty good sleep, even if it's short. I was defeated, taking a short nap isn't bad. Now I think I can take on much of the work that comes my way.”She said because she felt her body lighter. What amazed her the most was that her legs, which had felt so stiff before, weren't even stiff anymore.“You will only do the work that comes in today, I hope you don't overdo it. It's not good for you.”Serra showed her caring attitude towards the figure in front of her. She smiled and then continued to help Riley, who was trying to stand up, she was happy when Riley could walk properly without showing a hint of pain.Riley took a black bag and held it quite tightly.“I'm ready to go to the boutique n
Riley followed the sound she heard until she was in a distant part of this building. It was dark, her footsteps stopped, and Riley looked in front of her a few times with her hands squeezed.She stared at what was in front of her, it was hard to determine precisely what was going on there.“Ugh...”The moaning sound sounded again, Riley's body just moved. She ran past the many large columns in the passage and finally found the figure of a man lying on the ground with blood running down his chest."Sir! Sir! Hang on!” Riley held him, she checked the pulse of the man who felt so weak and she was frantically looking for help. The dress she was wearing was torn and full of red blood.Hazelnut-colored eyes opened quickly, the bright light blinding her for a moment. Riley closed her eyes again, they were watery, not used to the bright light.“Ah... Really... Why do I remember such a stiff incident?” Riley exhaled while keeping her eyes closed. After a few seconds passed, she opened her eyes
Riley looked down at her hands as she walked into her office building. She bought a thick sandwich, even though she had eaten it with food filling her stomach."What do I think?"Riley said that as if rejecting what she was doing right now. But she unwrapped the bread and ate it quickly, the people who saw what Riley was doing could only bow and greet her.The sandwiches she bought during the trip had run out even before she reached her room. Serra had been waiting for her and hot coffee was already on her table."Miss Riley, there is an investor meeting at 10 am."Riley listened to her carefully, Riley opened her files that were on the table, looked at the files that had piled up and she relaxed her body for a while."Is there a problem, Miss Riley?"“There is,” Riley answered offhandedly, surprising Serra. She was looking forward to what Riley would say next.“Oh, I have a bit of trouble sleeping.” Riley immediately explained so the woman in front of her would not have that panicked
Riley placed the red invitation card on her desk. She stared for a few seconds, then looked at her phone. She felt empty after Mdam Lyla left her boutique."You're taking Mr. Lucius there, Miss Riley?" Serra suddenly spoke up and her words shocked Riley.She turned around and saw Serra working on some of the designs scattered on the table. She looked so gentle and calm, her eyes moved and she saw Riley staring at her, confused.“Lucius is busy overseas. I don't know when he'll be back."Serra smiled slightly at Riley's words. It's quite a pity because it seems Riley wants to invite Lucius."So, who are you going with?""If not alone. Of course, with you."Serra had expected that answer, it would be a shame if Riley went alone. Her name recently became famous because of Mike's and Lucius' affairs.Everyone gossiped about her at almost every opportunity. A man as great as Lucius is very attractive, and her lousy past is often linked to bringing Riley down. For example, how great is Mike
Lucius finally manages to get Riley to come home with him. He asked Abriel to leave his car immediately and took Riley.“You must be exhausted, Lucius. I could go home alone, but you forced me to go home with you instead."Riley sat quite relaxed in the car, her words very different from what she was doing now."Long time no see you. A bit of tiredness doesn't hold me back at all.”The two of them sat close together even as Lucius' arm brushed against Riley's arm, a feeling of warmth was felt at that point. Riley then remembered something, she immediately put her hand into her bag and took out a red invitation, she placed it above Lucius' hand.Lucius' eyes looked at the invitation and opened it. "Madam Lyla?"“She is my teacher. I'm going to the fashion show. You want to be my partner or not?" Riley asked Lucius.“Of course, I want. It must be nice to be here.”Riley smiled happily at Lucius' answer. She immediately looked away because she didn't want her smile to be seen by Lucius,
Lucius hugged Riley tightly, their bodies naked and giving off a sticky sensation from the sweat dripping off their skin. Riley opened her eyes, and Lucius' hand made it hard for her to breathe. Riley immediately pushed him aside and caught her breath before she got off the bed."I did it again?" Riley muttered to herself, it was hard for her to understand why she was acting like this. Even though she was sure, she was no longer tempted by what Lucius was doing. The man beside her was still sleeping, he looked so sound and innocent."This is normal for you, not for me." Riley ignored her uneasy feelings. And try to spend the day in peace. Lucius slowly opened his eyes when she had just finished putting on her clothes. He saw Riley, who was wearing a white shirt very elegantly."What are you going to do, Riley?""Work.""It's better to spend time with me, right?" Lucius smiled. He patted the bed a few times and Riley tilted her head slightly.“You do need to rest, Lucius. You're so tir
He had returned to his home, and everyone there was worried about him not coming home soon. Albert helped Lucius walk, wearing a suit with a different brand. Albert was suspicious of what Lucius was doing.“Is everything okay when I go abroad?” Lucius plopped down on the couch and made his palms cover his eyes. Only a slight feeling of calm could make his smile softly.He was indeed tired, but he held his ground in front of Riley and made it seem as if he was joking. Due to an injury from his past, Lucius experiences an effect that often occurs when he is too tired. He never wanted anyone else to know about his condition. It could make other people who want to get rid of him act more aggressively. All this time, he has survived by showing himself to be strong, terrifying to others who try to oppose him. He had never been lenient, which was why he was branded a man with a bad temper.He liked the nickname, and he could easily use the nickname he had to get rid of people he didn't like.
Rikey smiled a little, wearing a dress she had made herself. The black dress that showed her shoulders made her appearance even more charming. She wanted to show Madam Lyla that she appeared in madam Lyla's fashion show with her beautiful dress.After tidying up her moon-shaped headdress, Riley immediately left her room and walked down the stairs.“Riley!” Lucius raised his hand and waved at Riley gently; the smile on his face was charming.Half a day passed without him being able to contact the busy Riley, and now he finally got to see her because he had to go to a party with Riley.Lucius held out his hand, and Riley greeted it gently."You came just in time, Lucius.""Of course, I don't want you waiting, Riley."Riley gave a small smile though not as loose as before. However, Lucius' presence made her feel relieved. She walked with Lucius to the car that was waiting for her."Riley, you look so sweet and beautiful."Lucius gave compliments quickly. From the first time he saw Riley,
