Setelah menerima pekerjaan barunya sebagai asisten Presiden Grup Jing Sheng, ia pun bersiap melapor untuk pertama kalinya kepada sang atasan yang, sama seperti dirinya, juga baru saja menjabat. Ia belum sepenuhnya paham medan yang akan dihadapinya, namun tak disangka, tugas pertamanya justru datang dengan kejutan besar. "Pagi besok, batalkan semua jadwal rapat," ujar pria itu dengan nada tenang namun tak terbantahkan. "Jam sembilan, ikut aku ke kantor catatan sipil. Kita akan mengambil surat nikah." Hari pertamanya bekerja dan ia sudah harus menghadapi kenyataan bahwa sang presiden yang baru itu, dengan seenaknya, memaksanya untuk menikah. Tanpa perkenalan, tanpa proses pendekatan, hanya satu perintah yang tak memberikan ruang untuk pembangkangan. Haruskah ia melawan? Atau menuruti saja perintah pria yang bahkan belum sempat benar-benar ia kenal? Malam harinya, ketika rumah sudah senyap dan waktu tidur tiba, pria itu bersandar santai di ambang pintu kamar. Suaranya terdengar ringan, malas, namun ada nada menggoda yang tak bisa diabaikan. "Bu Ny. Presiden, aku mau matikan lampunya. Kau yakin ingin tidur meringkuk seperti bakpao kukus sambil memeluk pisau?" Perempuan itu menatap tajam sambil tetap memegangi senjata kecil yang ia bawa untuk berjaga-jaga. "Kalau begitu, kau bisa tidur di luar." "Tidak mungkin," sahut pria itu cepat. "Ini rumahku." "Siang tadi, kau sendiri yang mengalihkan hak kepemilikan rumah ini padaku. Jadi sekarang, ini rumahku," balasnya tenang, tapi tajam. Saling menantang di antara batas logika dan perasaan, keduanya berdiri di ujung ketegangan yang entah akan berakhir dengan perang atau... sesuatu yang jauh lebih membingungkan.

Louis itu terapis yang paling dipuji di sini. Lagian, aku ada tepat di sebelahmu. Apa mungkin kamu selingkuh di depanku?" Aku menyahut dengan manja, "Ah, kamu!" Namun, ketika melihat terapis pria yang kekar itu, jantungku berdebar kencang.
