Semua Bab One Night Stand, I Didn't Know He Was Powerful Alpha : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Sleep.Noreen stared at Thiery sleeping beside her, her brows furrowed. She regretted her own incoherent thoughts when Thiery asked her to sleep with him.Tsk, it's not my fault, Noreen thought to herself. He kissed me so passionately and then asked me to sleep with him, of course I'd think about that. Who didn't?The other side of Noreen's mind laughed at her. It's because you haven't been touched by a man in a long time, Noreen, that your desire rises so quickly just from a kiss.Noreen sighed and got up, sitting on the edge of the bed. She felt thirsty.The room had air conditioning, but Noreen felt hot. She could even feel her armpits and cleavage sweating."Where are you going?"Noreen almost fell over when she heard Thiery's voice behind her. She turned around and met his gaze, staring at her."Thirsty," Noreen said. "I want a drink."Thiery moved and sat up on the bed. His hair was messy and his eyes were half-closed, but Noreen's heart was beating faster at how handsome he lo

"It's been like this since it was built, about 200 years ago," Thiery said. "Nothing has been added, except for repairs here and there, minor additions and changes made little by little.""I've never seen a centuries-old palace in its original form in my life," Noreen said. "Look at that, the stones are real natural stone, aren't they?""This isn't a palace," Thiery said. "It's just been called the Golden Moonlight Mansion from the beginning. Palaces are supposed to be bigger than this.""But this mansion even has a tower like in the story of Rapunzel," Noreen muttered. " How many people live here?""Just me, Sander, three other Betas, 18 servants, six cooks, 12 groundskeepers, and about 30 security guards. My two nephews, a few cousins, and my father come over occasionally," Thiery replied. He unfolded a heavy dining chair. "Sit down.""Oh my," Noreen muttered. "Boss, you really are a king from a fairy tale, aren't you? This is modern times, and there are still people living like yo

"I think you should keep your distance from him, Noreen," Lisbeth said worriedly. "I don't believe in those romantic stories in popular novels these day can became real in life. A CEO and a heartbroken woman have a one-night stand, separate ways, then meet again, and the CEO insists on marrying her because he can't get over it.""Hmm," Noreen muttered. "Although the one-night stand part between the CEO and the heartbroken woman did happen, the rest is just trouble.""Tsk, you're really good at getting into trouble, Noreen," Lisbeth said. "So, what about your work? Is everything okay?""Well, nothing too difficult," Noreen said. "Basically, Thiery could do everything himself if he wanted to, but his company is spread all over the place, and I guess that means he can't focus on just one place, so he has a lot of dedicated staff."Lisbeth laughed. "So, if it weren't for the fact that you and him slept together, you wouldn't be that special, right?"Noreen grinned and nodded. "He even sa

Truly, Noreen was furious with the man in front of her.He suddenly stood behind Noreen and Lisbeth, causing them to panic, and Noreen even broke out in a cold sweat.Lisbeth acted quickly. She stood and faced Thiery, staring at him unblinkingly for a few seconds, then turned to Noreen."I'm going to take my son to continue playing," Lisbeth said, nodding. "When you're done, call me."Then Lisbeth left, and Noreen was grateful to have her."Who was that woman?" Thiery asked, ignoring Noreen's question. "You said you wanted to rest, but instead you played with her and refused to accompany me."Noreen clenched her fists, holding back the urge to lash out. After all, Thiery was her boss, even on weekends, even though she had the day off from work."Let's talk outside," Noreen said, standing up and walking straight toward the door, without another glance at Thiery.In front of the restaurant, she saw Sander standing waiting."Mr. Beta Sander," Noreen said with a nod.Sander smiled. "I ap

Thiery's face was tense, and it was clear he wasn't bothering to hide his irritation.Noreen followed her boss into his office, trying her best to keep her footsteps quiet."Where's your report?" Thiery asked coldly.Noreen handed Thiery the files she'd brought, placing them on the table.Thiery took the files and began to open and examine them one by one.Noreen bit her lip. This was going to take a while, she thought. Thiery was meticulous and attentive to detail.Noreen cleared her throat softly. "Sir, if you don't mind, could I please have lunch while you review my work?"Thiery looked up, taking his eyes off the files, and looked at Noreen with a frown on his pointed nose."You haven't had lunch yet?" Thiery asked.Fleetingly, Noreen heard a hint of worry in Thiery's voice. But she dismissed the thought, not wanting to take it too personally."Not yet, sir. I finished the design you were reviewing and lost track of time. But now I'm feeling hungry," Noreen answered honestly."Wha
