Chapter 1 : He Is a Demon In Human Form!

Here I am, standing in front of a tall building that stands proud and arrogant how it taunts me and stands proud like its owner—that bastard Edmund Bryan. Because of him, I am standing here.

I walked over with my twelve-centimetre heels and entered the building. I always feel amazed by this luxurious building. Why can the owner be so arrogant? Why doesn't he go bangkrup and become a beggar? So that he is not arbitrary towards others. Due to my bad luck, I had to replace the item I accidentally dropped, I just took a deep breath, and my bad days will begin. May I be strong in facing it all?

The receptionist smiled at me. I approached her and tried to greet her as politely as possible.

"Anything I can help?"

"I want to go to Mr Edmund Bryan's office."

"Of course. All you have to do is take the elevator to the 45th floor." I smiled and thanked the receptionist named Mondi.

My twelve-centimetre heels dragged to the 45th floor where they were intended. I repeatedly took a deep breath and played with my fingernails because I was nervous, even though there was a hidden desire to hit Edmund's head until it leaked. I clenched my fists.

The elevator is open, and I gawk at a luxurious room with many ornate flowers in front of it. I'll bet this is the flower of life.

"What can I do for you, Miss?"

"Is Mr Edmund in there?" I saw again the secretary with a tight black dress wrapped around her body, her long torso, bright red lipstick that was deliberately used to look so sensual. Bitch seeds! I can see that.

"Mr Edmund is in there." I nod and head down, feeling like Ana Steel is about to interview Christian Grey. Ugh ... Snap out of it Emerald! Why did I think of bastard Edmund like Christian Grey?

To be exact, when my feet took a step, that unlucky man stood proudly leaning on his expensive work desk. I felt like I wanted to cry when I saw the antique jars arranged there so majestically. It looks like Edmund purposely had jars in each room to serve as an exorcist.

"I thought you were going to fall like Anastasia Steel." sneered Edmund. I just stared at him wistfully, full of hostility.

"Yeah. At least I fulfilled that call!" I replied lazily while rolling my eyes. This room is so spacious with tall glass that you can look down with many small cars. Everything in this room screamed expensively.

"Today, you are my personal assistant!" broke up Edmund.

"What?!" I shrieked in disbelief.

"Listen, Sir! Our promise is I'll babysit you only in your damn penthouse!"

"You're not a maid! You're a slave! Slave of my lust!" Shit! I could only clench my fists, and I think I better meet a piranha fish than Edmund. He is an alien friend from planet Pluto!

"I have a life! You can't monopolize my life! You're just telling me to be babysit in your damn luxury house! And no sex, of course!"

"Fascinating. Try repeating your words, Miss? Please make a check for $ 500,000."

"Sir, that kind of money is, of course, nothing to you." I'm trying to soften up. Edmund is the kind of guy who's made to eat harder and harder.

"Of course not, Miss. But it feels good to be able to play with a little mouse like you!"

"Sir!"

"I'm not your fucking sir!"

"Good, because I can call you a bastard!"

"You make me want to get into you so deeply immediately." What the heck?!

Before the accident.

I just called Mommy, who is on their honeymoon thousands of times during their lifetime. How jealous I am of Mommy's life. Meanwhile, I had to be confined in a small apartment, which made my life even messier. This is my choice, but my question is when I can feel the holidays? I worked for 40 hours a week, and it was very tedious. The monotonous life that I live in makes me want to go on vacation or visit Mommy and Daddy, who continue to go on honeymoon to all countries. Mommy and Daddy always travel because Mommy likes traveling and decided to fill their old age by travelling worldwide.

"Mommy, take care of Daddy. I'll miss you."

"Yes, take care of yourself there. If there is anything, immediately contact Mommy. I love you."

"Love you, Mom." I took a deep breath and walked around, looking for food to fill my stomach. I'm sluggish to cook in the apartment, and even the apartment is like a rat nest because I'm so lazy to clean and even lazy to call the janitor.

I just got a payday, and every month what I do is self-reward. I will eat well so that I can keep my spirit to work. I work in a publishing company, to be more precise I'm an editor, it certainly makes me have to deal with a lot of reading every day, checking a lot of writings. So I have to eat a lot, so I'm not thin.

I'm planning to eat the antelope steak. The steak costs the same as my apartment rental price, but I dare to come to this expensive restaurant for the sake of good food. Usually, every month I will make a list of which restaurants I have to visit. And Creamer Restaurant is known as one of the most expensive restaurants in California, the price it sells for is a chill, but at least I can try it.

I sang softly when I entered the restaurant and saw the live music of a person playing the violin so lovingly. I stood there for a moment and felt the music piercing my heart. Ah, I miss him.

There was a group of rich men, several men drinking wine, and several steak pieces in front of them. It looks like I am a customer with just barely enough money to enter this restaurant.

Slowly I read the menu not to let the money I carry less, because after this I have to save by eating sandwiches every day until next month. It's okay, as long as my curiosity paid off immediately.

I ordered spruce and chamomile tea. This tea looks simple, just like a cup with water and a few leaves on it. But according to Hoptail, this tea is 'the heavenly tea I have ever drunk.' One cup of this tea contains lemon Meyer juice and a bundle of douglas fir, yarrow, chamomile, lemon balm, anise, and fresh hyssop picked straight from the restaurant's garden. I want to cry seeing the price but don't think about it, let's have fun today and think about tomorrow.

The price of white tea is $600, and I want to cry while trying the tea.

For food, I ordered the antelope steak. Small antelope steak pieces served with chicory, a spiced salad and honey butter biscuits tasted like pancakes. This antelope meat is not game but comes from a farm in Texas. This medium-rare meat is melt in the mouth with a mixed texture between venison and beef.

I cut small so that this little meat does not run out soon. I knew it was foolishness to make me regret it the next day that I had to save up.

"Uhm ..." I had to close my eyes, enjoying the food, and felt like I was in the garden of heaven. My beautiful delusion was broken when my hand touched and unfortunately the expensive food fell on the floor. For the sake of Boots Dora's monkey, I immediately burst into tears on the spot. Am even I willing to starve for a month and now? Nature does not bless me.

"You?! Do you dare nudge me? You don't know I have to save for one month for this meal." I am angry, and I am disapointed, even I have cried because of this stupidity and my bad luck.

The man just gave me a flat look. His face is very annoying. You arrogant rich man!

"You?! You have to change my money! So that you know it costs $1000 more." I demand it. I know this sounds ridiculous and stupid. For a rich person like them, $1000 is like 1 cent. Oh my God, why is the world never on my side?

Seeing the man whose face is annoying, I picked up the steak earlier, preparing to throw his face. With tears, I looked down and looked for where the steak was? I keep my head down and look for where the damn steak is hiding?

Prang !!!!!

I turned and saw an urn rolling on the floor. Shit! 

The sound filled the room even more. Everyone looked at me, and I immediately swallowed my saliva nervously. I accidentally touched the big black jar. Shit! Why should it be like this? Why didn't this damn jar tell me first?

I slowly raised my face and saw everyone looking at me. My heart immediately works twice as fast. My tears fell, and I was only able to bite my lips.

"You know, Miss, the jar costs $500,000. You can't even buy it with your pride." This unlucky jerk taunted me made me want to take the broken jar and scratch his skin. Damn it!

"I'm sorry."

"It's not that easy! Did you ask for a $1000 change? And let's make a calculation, you have to change the expensive jar to $500,000. You know that antique jar bought in China dates back to the Ming dynasty." My body immediately shook, feeling like a local earthquake. Failed to eat well, a lot of debt and what now?

"Here's your money, and quickly change the $ 500,000 bill." Even though I was annoyed and afraid, I still took the money, which was not bad enough to last a month. Finally, I would not have an ulcer disease.

"I'm sorry, Sir. I-its accidentally."

"I-I'm sorry, sir. It's accidentally!" I repeated nervously. Even though I was never afraid to face anyone, meeting this demon made my guts shrink instantly.

"You only have one week to replace it. If not, it looks like it's fun to play a little tense and hot game. Don't you like it? You little whore!"

"S-sir!"

"I'm not your fucking sir. Fuck off! And wait for the games!"

"I'm sorry. But, it's accidentally!"

"Shut up! You'll become my slave. My slave lust! Deal?" whispered this bastard in a sensual tone giving chills down my spine. I just clenched my fists with tears in my eyes.

"Oh yeah. Welcome to the hell!"

Because I knew dealing with this one demon was not easy.

"Remember you, Miss. Meet me at the Bryan Corp building, and you will get your punishment! Otherwise, I will keep looking for you down to the pit of hell!"

The feel to kill him was strong. I just stared at hisback away, and when I looked down, I saw the steak was on the tip of my leg. Upset, I picked up the steak and ate it.

It's not worth the torment I endured! He is a demon in human form!
