Darren's POVThe party was finally over, now I had to leave with Emma. I didn't want to see Uncle and Noella again for now. They've already pissed me off enough, especially my uncle's every word that annoys me so much.In the car, Emma was being spoiled by holding my arm. Still annoyed by Uncle Enrick's words, I slightly pushed her away. She made me very uncomfortable, especially after hearing what my uncle had told me earlier at the party.Emma is indeed a sweet-mouthed woman. Every sentence of hers always makes me feel affected. However, this time, I felt very bored with all her words. "Honey, why are you still silent? Isn't it time we talked about the next plan?""Shut up, Emma. Don't make me more annoyed with you. It turns out you already have a child." Emma looked upset, her face showing her troubled feelings. She grabbed my arm again and tried to calm me down."Don't take your uncle's words personally, Darren. It's just a threat from your uncle. I've never had children. Isn't ou

Noella's POV"Noella, I actually love you very much. I really love you." The words Mr. Enrick said made my body freeze, especially now that he touched my cheek gently and approached slowly. His face was right in front of mine, then our lips met, and he kissed me just like that.My closed eyes opened wide, my heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was real. I woke up from sleep and rubbed my face roughly. The dream was very embarrassing for me. How could I dream of Mr. Enrick declaring his love and kissing me just like that?I felt strange and covered my face with both hands. I shook my head in disbelief that my mind could go in that direction. I would be very troubled if this kept popping up in my head, especially since our relationship was just a contract.I shook my head again as if I couldn't believe what appeared in my dream this morning. So suddenly, dreaming of that cold man expressing his feelings. This is so impossible in the real world. I don't want to fall into the aby

Noella's POVI've been feeling uncomfortable lately, especially about Mr. Enrick being too kind to me. There have been many things that were given to me without my asking. They were given to me when my old things were broken or lost. All this made me think of ways to repay him until I was pensive for a few minutes at my desk.The few times Mr. Enrick bought me coffee without asking, he seemed to know my habit of drinking caffeine when my head felt dizzy with unfinished work. In fact, when I started working on some files, I always had coffee on the table. Mr. Enrick did that before I bought coffee or forgot to buy it when I was already in the study.In addition, yesterday's incident also made me regret my attitude towards Mr. Enrick a little. I was being too rude to him just because of my strange dreams and thoughts. However, Mr. Enrick, who had been silent, suddenly handed me a box containing a branded watch. I'd been complaining about my watch dying of battery failure, but I could ha

Noella's POVThis uncomfortable feeling made me avoid eye contact with Mr. Enrick. The previous mistake resulted from my carelessness in touching Mr. Enrick's documents without permission. I was terrified that because of my actions, Mr. Enrick was angry and deservedly cold towards me.While Mr. Enrick was still silent on the sofa, I kept trying to find the critical document I had lost. However, in between my movements, I faintly heard Mr. Enrick seemingly calling my name. I thought it was just my hallucination, so I resumed my movements to search for the documents."How long am I going to be here? Why is the document nowhere to be found? Am I destined to sleep in the office tonight?" My chaotic mind couldn't calm down, especially since Uncle Martin's figure also appeared in my head, making me even more uneasy.I tried to catch my breath slowly, then closed my eyes for a moment, and suddenly, I heard Mr. Enrick calling again. "Noella." Sure enough, this time, I turned around and looked

Noella's POVAs a subordinate, I understand very well that our relationship is only limited to a contractual relationship. And that means I don't have to be guarded by him twenty-four hours, right?And when Enrick ordered me to stay at his house while Uncle Martin was away, I felt it was unnecessary. I'm pretty independent despite having to live alone."Noella, I will feel at ease if you stay in my house while your uncle is away. I will ensure your safety is maintained," Enrick said with a heavy voice.Although I appreciated his kindness, I felt you could care for yourself without staying at his house. I decided to express my refusal firmly."But Mr. Enrick, that's not necessary at all. I'm sure I'm old enough to care for myself while he's away. You don't have to do that," I refused with all humility. I hope she understands and leaves this place soon. I'm already starving, Lord.Enrick raised one eyebrow, slightly surprised by my refusal, but he patiently listened to my arguments. "
