I suddenly felt Ivor was really ridiculous, why would he care what I did? “Yes,” I said. “Ivor, get the fuck off me.” Ivor’s angry gaze still watched my every move, but I didn’t care. What could he do to me? Mark stood up, approached us. He stood facing Ivor, placing a hand on my shoulder, “Did you hear that, Ivor? She said yes. So let her go.” But I could still feel Ivor’s hand clasping my body in his lap. “Ivor, let me go,” I said, almost whispering. My words were more like pleas than demands, they had no power at all. “No, you can go with anyone but not him,” Ivor’s husky voice echoed, harboring anger. “Ha-ha, can’t you tell what’s work, what’s personal?” Mark said sarcastically. “At her work, you’re her boss. You can control her, command her all the time. But in her private life, you’re nothing to her.” I heard Ivor’s sarcastic laughter. His icy voice echoed, “Well, look who’s talking. Someone who has an adult party in his office like you has the right to teach me how to d

Ivor’s POVI was born into an elite family. With my background, extravagant adult parties became a familiar thing to me.I snapped a sip of wine, leaned on the back of the chair, was bored by what was happening at the adult party tonight.I was used to them, but I didn’t like them. For me, these parties were simply opportunities for me to meet people who were willing to splurge, sign more lucrative business deals.“You’ve only been drinking since the party started. Can’t the beautiful ladies here seduce you? Ha-ha-ha,” Mr. Khan sat down in the chair next to me and said out loud. Many of the girls at the party looked at me, gave me sexy gazes. The girl standing next to me also touched my shoulder lightly.The strong scent of women’s perfumes filled my nostrils, making me uncomfortable.“No one can deny the charm of those ladies. But I’m sorry I wasn’t interested today,” I sighed, saying.“What bothered you? Another girl out there?” said Mr. Khan generously. “You just keep your heart fo

Lia's POVThe sleeping pills put me to sleep but didn't make me less tired the next day.The alarm woke me up the next morning."Damn, damn alarm, why did I forget to erase the alarm in my phone," I groaned, trying to sleep again but I couldn't.I felt like I was mistreated because I was tired of lacking sleep, but couldn't sleep. Suffering from the headache, I went to a cafe where was close to our hotel to work.I ran into Ivor after leaving the cafe. He apologized to me. What did he mean? Wasn't it all over?I saw the confusion in his eyes and was amazed. I had to have seen it wrong.Ivor was never confused. Arrogance was one of his seductive traits. It wasn't born out of disregard for others, but because of the upstream blood flowing through his body. That made his arrogance different and attractive.I assured him that I had accepted his apology and left shortly after. Soon after, I got his message. He informed us of the time and place of the parties we would have to attend until t

“Fuck you, Ivor,” I shouted as soon as I entered my room. Ivor never gave me any satisfactory explanation, even though I almost begged him. “Don't waste your time. Get ready for tonight's party, maybe you'll meet potential investors,” I parodied what he told me. I didn't have the enthusiasm to continue my work. I took my phone from my bag, and I answered Mr. Ahmed's message, his request for a meeting, sloppily. However, I hesitated after I finished writing the message. This sloppy reply from me could make the end of my social relationship with him. "Ok, let's think carefully, Lia, Mr. Ahmed is an enormous piece of cake and you want it. However, Ivor will kick you out of the project you're in if you contact Mr. Ahmed,” I closed my eyes, saying to myself. “Ok, you won't be able to stay in the project if you contact Mr. Ahmed. Ivor's not kidding. You're not leaving the project at all costs. So - what do you keep in contact with Mr. Ahmed for?" I clearly understood what I should choos

Things were so unexpected, I couldn't think of anything. The water came into my lungs, my body gave an alarm. Instinctively, I glanced up at the water. I coughed, I heard delightful laughter. I looked at the curly black haired guy, wondering what had happened, but I couldn't stop coughing. "What happened?" I gave the curly black haired guy an angry look and asked as soon as I calmed down. I swore I had to have looked very stupid then. I felt some of my chestnut curls sticking to my face. My fluffy hair was also flat because it was wet. I couldn't move flexibly in the water because I was wearing a cuddly office suit and high heels. That guy looked at me and laughed, I really wanted to punch his fucking face. I gave him a friendly attitude, and what he gave me was a stupid fucking joke. “Is it fun?” he asked. I looked at the rest of the people in the pool, they all laughed and looked at me. They had to be waiting for my response. Was the reaction of a friendly person after realizing
