The Arrogant But Charming Man

"How did you get into my room?" Zannie asked as she was able to put on a T-shirt top and thick fabric so that her underwear would no longer be transparent.

The young stranger was speechless. The sunlight had dimmed in that part of the room so she had a chance to see his face. The man remained silent as if his question had not been heard so he turned around in disgust.

"You're not going to speak? I said, how did you get in here? Do you intend to exploit me?" Zannie growled.

A few moments later the man stood up from his slump on the floor. Zannie was shocked by the man's appearance, in his appearance, he did not seem to make a fuss and did not look like a member of a terrorist who would overthrow the army.

The man in front of her looks like an actor she saw on billboards, that type of look, any woman can fall off and swoon. The strength of sex appeal is understated. He may look intimidating too. His height is proportional to his body build and has a well-groomed hairstyle that suits his face. The expression on the stranger's face was still blank, he may not have known that while asleep he had touched Zannie on the part of her body that should not be touched.

God, her body is sacred as well as her virginity. That was reserved for Jacob in case the man of his dreams vaguely hit her. But on the other side of her brain, the man in front of her was stunning.

'No way!'

She countered the wrong thinking. He will not betray Jacob. She loves Jacob even though he could not love her back. Her heart was locked in the cage that belonged to Jacob, it was sealed in her system a long time ago.

But the presence of the stranger brings a strange thrill that in her old age, he only felt in Jacob. God knows, it was only Jacob who made her heart beat, and he even surpassed the standards she's looking for aside from all her idol boy band members and heroes who starred in the romance novels she read when she was just a high school student.

‘He looks cute but maybe he's a demon sent by Lucifer.’

She sighed as she pointed at the sharp object focused on the man again. Maybe it's because despite his angelic face is an evil hiding. 

Of course, she did not forget Jacob's command when she landed in Trias that she must not trust anyone.

"Hey, stop doing that. You're not my type."

Then, why did he end up in her room? And who exactly is he?

"You're not attractive to me. And one more thing, I'm not a suspicious man. I'm not a scout ranger or a rebel, and especially I'm not a terrorist!"

The man's formerly angelic face was replaced by a dark look. He even met her gaze.

They seem to be competing at the glaring challenge. And who gave up on making eye contact will lose.

"Eh, who are you?"  Zannie asked. She was able to lower her voice which meant that the tension she had felt before had subsided. She was terrified at the sight of this man. At the same time, the nice view of his face is angry and turning crimson due to annoyance.

"I'm Howard Fontafella, CEO of Satire Life Inc.— the most successful company in Asia." 

Zannie raised an eyebrow at the way he introduced himself to her.

"I just asked who you are, but I'm not interested in your company. Jerk!" she replied irritably. The way he spoke to her sounds too formal and a bit arrogant. He never imagined that he would even announce the company he owned as if she was interested.

Zannie narrowed her eyes. She put a sharp object in the pocket of the pants he was wearing. A man named Howard also stood up. His gaze deepened which became a puzzle to her.

Howard shook himself. His precious T-shirt was ripped on the hem. His T-shirt got stuck in a nail on the side of the pallet when he fell.

"What did you just call me? Jerk?" he asked with his eyes still sharp when he closed his eyes. Is that death glare?

"Well, that's an adjective to your attitude. Yes, you're a jerk!" Zannie said boldly.

"No one has ever told me that."

Howard's fist clenched. His ego is being trampled on at this moment. The courage of this woman stunned him a bit. But of course, he knew that he could still outsmart her. 

"Why did you clench your fist? Are you going to punch me?" Zannie stepped closer and was about to punch Howard but he immediately grabbed her both palms and leaned her against the wall.

She was cornered. The looks that Howard threw at her were sharp. She noticed his slight smile.

She was sort of mentally unstable at this moment. It was unexpected. It was as if she was being harassed but she was still impressed because of how handsome the man is.

"I don't usually deal with a very aggressive woman like you, but when I do, I can make your eyes closed—" He meant to cut off what was meant by his words.

He heard the young man's sigh before continuing.

"I can make your eyes closed with just one kiss."
