I glanced at Alfred. I was stunned by his question and how he glared at Benj. Was he jealous? I asked myself. I couldn't describe, but an unknown sensation touched my heart at the thought. Nonetheless, Alfred has nothing to be jealous of. Benj and I were just friends.   Then, I looked at Benj, who took down his hand when Alfred didn't take it. He didn't respond. I knew that he wouldn't argue with Alfred for what he wanted to imply.   So, I was the one who answered. "Of course, it's Han. Right, Benj? Alfred, we've been friends since college." I needed to explain to Alfred for him to understand.   "So, it's hon?" Alfred repeated coldly. He gazed intently at Benj

I turned around, but I lost my balance when I unexpectedly hit a hard chest. I didn’t realize that he was so close to me.   “Ahh!” I screeched. Then, I found myself enclosed in his muscular arms. I looked up and saw his cold, steely blue eyes. I blushed as my heartbeat quickened. Lub dub, lub dub.   The time seemed to stop for a moment.   After a while, "Hey, you startled me!" I muttered angrily as I stood up and fixed my dress. Then, I looked back at the door. However, it was now closed.   “Who are you looking at?” Alfred asked.   “I’m trying to peek at the President, and because of you, I was not able to see him,” I explained in an irritated tone.   He raised his brow. “Why do you want to see him?”   “Hmm... I’m just curious about his looks. By the way, what are you doing here?”   “The President is here, so I am her

  Thursday morning, I was busy with the piles of documents on my table when I heard a knock on my door. I said, come in.   Then, John entered with a brown envelope in his hands. He's my assistant and my most trusted among all my men. He was the only one allowed to enter my room aside from my secretary, David, and my bodyguards.   "Mr. Ricafort, here's the latest news about the Waltons," He reported as he handed me the envelope.   My brows automatically snapped together when I heard that it was about the Waltons. I stopped what I was doing and looked up at John as I accepted the envelope.   Walton's family was the greatest rival of our family. The old Walton was my grandfather's best friend. However, he

  In the following week, Hannah started working in my company as I promised. And as I told David, he didn't let her work overtime.   Odd, as I was feeling restless in my office, knowing that she was just a floor away from me. I wanted to visit her, but I restrained myself. However, in the afternoon of the third day, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I called David.   "Oh, man, you're right! She's extraordinarily beautiful, huh?" He said as soon as he picked up my call.   "David, I already told you not to look at her. I'm warning you." I reminded him.

  Robert pressed the button to close the elevator door. However, after two attempts, it didn't close. I felt glad. I thought that luck was on my side. I took a deep breath. I would seize the opportunity to talk to him, hoping that he would let me go.   "Robert, please, leave me alone. We can no longer get married because I'm married already." I announced. Perhaps he would let me go if he learned about it.   Robert stopped from pressing the button as he turned to me.   "What did you just say?" He asked with a frown.
