"What's this supposed to mean, Oliver?" I asked coldly.Oliver approached me and stood beside where I was standing. "You said you'd only eat here, so I decided we'd eat together here. I ordered different kinds of foods so you can choose, and of course, we'll share it with anyone here."Everyone who heard started whispering excitedly, seeming happy about Oliver's offer because lunch was now free for them, but I wasn't pleased. I will never be happy about this. I massage my temples; he's trying his luck to flirt with me. I'm not into this."Thanks Oliver! These dishes look expensive," one of the cast members, Amore, remarked, looking at the food laid out. "Wait, I recognize these. Did you buy everything on the menu?" She asked in surprise.Oliver pursed his lips while shrugging his shoulders. "Small things, Amore. They're all from your cousin's restaurant.""Really? Did you get a discount for this? Aren't the dishes there expensive?""I don't do discounts," he replied with a grin, then

"Are you the representative of Vintner? I thought it was the CEO?" I couldn't help but be surprised. Even here, we're going to see each other? Fate works in mysterious ways."I am the CEO. Isn't it obvious?" He said arrogantly.I still couldn't speak and just stared at him. He grinned at me, so I quickly looked away. Damn, why do I always avoid eye contact? He might assume something again."Sit down, Mr. Laurent," I said casually. I shouldn't let my personal feelings hinder my work. What? Personal feelings, huh? Gross.He sat down, still with that smile on his face. It's almost like I can sense you following me, Oliver. I hope it's really not."So, why are you here? What's your agenda?" I asked without any hesitation.He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "I'm here to discuss a potential investment in Nexus Enterprises."Investment? That caught my attention. "Why would Vintner Corporation be interested in investing in a bankrupt company like ours?"He leaned against my desk,

I sat quietly on the chair in the meeting room. I knew the board members of the Company were puzzled as to why I had called them again.When I first came here last week, I discovered many things, and what’s frustrating is not knowing why the Company ended up like this.I checked the sales and profits for previous years and one thing is for sure, there is a different transaction every twice a month that isn't included in the company's finances.And I found out that there's a thief inside this company who's been stealing money for a long time, and because the management is clueless, they didn't even realize they were being robbed by someone they trusted.I investigated it and at the same time, encouraged more investors to fund the company, but it's not simple. I want to find a way not to take Oliver's offer, but I'm tempted. It's not bad to become his bodyguard, but I feel like I'm babysitting him. But so far, his offer is the one that gives me the most.I could hear murmurs around me,

"Laci!" Oliver shouted from a distance.I didn't even bother to look back and continued walking, despite tripping several times in my heels. Out of frustration, I violently removed them and threw them in the jerk's direction. What a jerk, flirting around like an idiot!"Fuck!" he cursed. I glanced back and saw that my shoe had hit him square in the face. He glared at me, his face turning bright red.I ignored him and kept walking barefoot toward the taxi stand. I didn't bring my car because Unnie dropped me off earlier. If I had known things would turn out like this, I would've driven myself.Before I could flag down a taxi, Oliver grabbed my arm, but I quickly jerked away and pushed him. "Back off or I'll break your bones," I warned.He tried to approach me again, but I feigned a punch, making him back off."Laci, please..." he said, sounding dejected, which made me frown as I turned away, but he followed me. We must've looked like idiots on the side of the road."Why does this bothe
