I could not believe what Ivor had said. “No way. I mean…”, I panicked, trying to resolve this terrible situation. So far, I really regretted what I had done. That was an expensive price. But Ivor didn’t give in to me, he looked at me with stern eyes. Ivor said, “You can write your resignation this morning, I’ll sign it for you right away.” Then he focused on his work. I couldn’t believe Ivor would be so heartless, and I realized I was so reckless and confident in thinking that he would forgive me after all, just because I was his assistant who worked with him for five years. I had to admit bitterly, Ivor might have an assistant who was more professional than me, but I could not find another person I could love as passionately as I loved him. He certainly knew that, too, and he did so. He was going to fire me and found a new assistant. I felt pain. Ivor, you were so heartless. But my reason reminded me I had no right to suffer or regret. Because from the beginning, I knew the

I didn’t want to face being fired again.For me, there was nothing as important as staying with him, even if I could only be with him as his assistant.I struggled to get out, but he held my waist tight.“Ivor, stop,” I said, almost begging, trying to turn away from his kiss.He did not seem to be satisfied when I did that. Of course, he was a possessive man. He did not allow anything that belonged to him to go out of his control.But I did not belong to him. He should know that better than anyone because he rejected my love. By this time tomorrow morning, when he was awake and found out I had sex with him, he won’t give me a friendly gaze.Ivor hold my head so I could not interrupt the kiss again.I slowly fell into a kiss with the man I loved.But, of course, I did not want to be fired.My reason and my feelings started a battle to find the winner.I was so focused on that battle that I didn’t mind the kiss with Ivor. He wasn’t happy about it, he didn’t want anyone to ignore him and

I brought my fatigue and anxiety back to New York. I couldn’t sense how Ivor’s threats, which he had for the girl who slept with him last night, affected me until I had a bad dream when I took a nap on the plane. I could not remember what I dreamed except Ivor. I tried to fall asleep again, but I couldn’t even take sleeping pills. I did not come to the company immediately after Ivor’s will, but returned to my home, sleeping soundly by the slow effects of sleeping pills. I woke up in the middle of the night. The first thing I did was fumbled for my phone. The battery line was yellow, on the screen was a series of incoming calls. I was tired and hungry so I did not care who called me. I ordered food at a night diner. When I opened the door to pick up the goods, I saw a large box carefully and beautifully packed on my porch. I checked the sender’s address on the box after I had finished having dinner, and was surprised to see the address of the corporation where I was working. I br

Of course, I was telling the truth, but I only slept two hours last night after I took my sleeping pills. The feeling of insecurity has followed me since yesterday, when I learned that the hotel still had backup surveillance tape files.“We have the tape, so you’ll find her soon,” Ivor said.“Yes, of course,” I answered sloppily, although I still wanted to chat with Ivor, as fatigue and the effect of sleeping pills had not dissipated.I fell asleep immediately and when I woke up, Ivor and the staff on the plane were transporting the luggage to the car.I got into the car with my drowsy face and tangled hair. Before the car left, a female employee promptly handed me a comb, a mirror, my handy makeup box, and a cold orange juice bottle. I raised my eyebrows when I saw the orange juice bottle.Although quite shy, I still I still put on makeup when I’m sitting next to the car while the car is moving.When we arrived at the hotel, the hotel manager was waiting.“We’re here to get backup fil

“Mark is in need, so come help him.”That was Ivor's request when we arrived at the hotel, which was built by the beach. I did it right away as a habit.But the funny thing was that what Mark needed my help with was his direct supervisor. It was easier than I thought. Anyway, who knew what these rich people thought?I had also received many silly requests from Ivor many times.After finishing my work, Mark invited me to have afternoon tea with him. Then I had grounds to speculate that he approached me with purpose.I wanted to say no, but he was a master of diplomacy, he persuaded me and he succeeded.Well, maybe that was why Ivor got angry when he got off the plane. He didn't want me to help Mark, but he convinced him.We enjoyed our afternoon tea at the hotel's restaurant. The wall of the restaurant was clear glass, I can see the sea view. The endless ocean and clear blue sky made me relax.“This place is famous for the beautiful sea view and many good entertainment activities. It w
