"You know how much I want you, Evina," Julian said in a husky voice, completing the frightening ambiance in the car. They were still in the parking lot of an abandoned building where Julian had brought Evina. Still in a daze, Evina froze as she couldn't believe what was just happening. It was only a few hours ago when he visited her in her unit, together with her older sister, Maria. He told her that he knew of a job opening in their company, which made her come with him. "L-let's go, Julian. They must have been waiting for us," she unconsciously blurted out, her eyes frantically searching for a sign that they were indeed in Julian's company. And he would not do what she was thinking that she would do. But the lights continued to flicker, casting shadows on Julian's threatening face. Evina pulled back until her whole body was stuck on the car door. "I've been waiting for so long," He drawled in between breaths. His eyes started drinking her bo

Paul froze for a few seconds before he handed his gun to Gabriel. He must have been shocked at Gabriel’s sudden reaction. Gabriel was astonished, too, himself. It was not usual for him to direct a weapon at others. “But this situation was no ordinary incident either,” Gabriel muttered to himself as he was about to go out and defend the woman. As soon as Paul’s gun was on Gabriel’s hand, he immediately pivoted to bolt out of the car. However, when he turned back, he saw a slender arm reaching out to the open door. “Let me in!” It was the woman who was just waving hysterically at them a while ago. She didn’t even ask for Gabriel’s permission. But she immediately crawled inside, pushing Gabriel to the other side of the car. She immediately closed the door and flailed her hand in a swift motion to Paul as she demanded, “Go, go, go! Hurry!” Paul nodded as if he was sensing the urgency of the situation. He immediately stepped on the gas and left the

Night has already set in outside the department store. The buyers were already leaving the establishment. Some had fun shopping and was laughing mirthfully as they went out. Others were walking fast as they hurried to catch up the train. In the parking lot, there were three people who were in the same car. All of them wanted to do different things after visiting the store. One wanted to leave the two and go on her own way. Another preferred for her to stay. And the last one was torn between the two. Usually, Gabriel didn’t mind other people’s plans. Why would he care when he already has a lot on his plate? However, this was a different matter for him. Even if she didn’t disclose any information about what happened, he knew an absurd incident occurred in the midst of Jeyong Town. “Get in. Do not make me say it thrice,” Gabriel commanded. Evina froze from her tracks. She already opened the car door and was about to step out. With a frown on her

Gabriel didn’t take Evina to his place at once. They had dinner first at a nearby restaurant. It was already late in the evening. After their meal, he offered her a contract to work for him as his executive assistant for one year.He said he had checked her credentials already, and she was fit for the job. With her desperate situation, she accepted it immediately.

The next morning, Evina woke up in a nice and jolly mood. In a flash, she readied herself for her first day as Mr Yang’s executive assistant at The Elysian Inc. She was worrying about what she would wear since she had not gone home after the incident. But to her surprise, Gabriel had them already prepared for her. He also bought them from the department store and put them beside her door. “Mr. Yang’s girlfriend must be so proud to have a boyfriend like him,” she uttered after putting on the red lipstick that he also bought for her. Her lips curled up in a sweet smile while looking at her reflection in the mirror. It was a simple white polo, long sleeves that sculpted her figure, partnered with a gray skirt. It was longer than her uniform at Sapphire Inc, which was just above the knee. But it hugged her legs and behind, revealing her curvaceous form, in a classic and decent way. She used her tie to pull her hair up in a half ponytail, completing the convention
