Between Love and Scandal 61. Separated By Distance
The girl said this in jest. After all, this time, the kidnapper had not harmed her at all.It all seemed to scare her, or who knew what purpose behind it.Mark took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Then he said carefully,“You're right, Aileen. That's why I want you to do one thing after this.”The man said his sentence in a sombre tone. Which made Aileen stare into his dark black eyes, which always seemed full of mystery.“I want you to stay away from me. We don't need to say hello. There is no need to get to know each other. This will protect you, Aileen.”Mark turned to leave the front room of Aileen's flat.'Wh-what do you mean? You want me to stay away from my guy? Do you want to watch me torture myself? Is that it?” Aileen asked, between stunned and incredibly shocked.Mark looked at the girl with a sad expression. Not the usual Mark. That look... held a lot of secrets and question marks behind it.“My guy?” Mark asked to confirm what he had heard.Their relationship was ind
Between Love and Scandal 62. Lucas' Rebuttal
The man looked away now and turned to stare out of the large glass window in the room. As ifwaiting for the answer to come out of Aileen's mouth.“Um, sorry, but I just want to know where Mark is. That's all. We don't need to discuss other personal matters, right?” Aileen twisted the question.Lucas grimaced as both eyebrows raised.“Oh dear! Aren't I still your superior, Aileen?” he said reproachfully.Aileen took a long breath.“Superiors in professional matters do not need to be privy to the personal affairs of their subordinates, sir!” She replied with emphasis.Spontaneously, Lucas turned back to look at Aileen, admiring the girl's courage and assertiveness. She was also unyielding and did not give up easily when her wishes were denied. A pretty stubborn girl, he thought approvingly as he look at Aileen from top to bottom.An attractive girl, she was quite pretty with that natural make-up. She has beautiful hair and sensual lips ... oh, Lucas now knows why Mark is interested in A
Between Love and Scandal 63. Lucas In Action
In the end, Mark was just sulking. All he wanted to do was go to the cafe for a cup of coffee and call Aileen, or just check her social media accounts. Ah, damn, Lisa. When will she ever have time alone? It felt like that little parasite always followed her wherever she went. Ah, damn it! He thought to himself."It turns out that being an attractive creature is risky too, huh? I feel like giving up. It's OK to be ugly. As long as life is safe and peaceful, not chased by crazy girls like her!" Mark grumbled to Gio, one from the branch responsible for preparing everything.Gio, one of the people from the branch office who was in charge of helping to prepare all of Mark's office needs."But, sir. You should be grateful. Miss Lisa is very nice...""Oh, grateful, huh? Would you be grateful if you were being blindly pursued by another girl, if you had another you love?" Mark interrupted Gio's unfounded remarks.Suddenly, Gio was silent. He did not know what the real story was. But according
Between Love and Scandal 64. Aileen Is Seduced
In the end, Aileen is forced to give in to Lucas. She would go to a meeting with him. There was no reason to refuse. Even then, she returned to her own room, thinking about everything Lucas had said about Mark. Oh God! How stupid of her to think that she was one of the essential things in Mark's life. How could that be?In her room, Aileen tried to prepare as much as possible about what she would need to bring with her when she accompanied Lucas to the meeting with the client to discuss the tender for the new project tender."Damn. A job I've never done before. He never dealt with investors at the branch at all. She only dealt with buyers. Man, Aileen was a little doubtful that she could handle the situation. But she would do her best. As Lucas had said earlier, so that later Mark returned; the man must admit that Aileen could still be brilliant without him, to back her up."Okay, Aileen. You can do it!" he reassured himself.Fortunately, when she went out with Lucas that hour after l

The meeting was attended by the client, who two people also represented. One was a man in his fifties who introduced himself as the director of the Hexia Garment company, accompanied by an assistant who was a young woman with make-up who suggested she was in her thirties. In fact Aileen was willing to bet that the girl was still young, perhaps just out of college. She said her name was Dianne."Well, if I may ask, is she Mr Lucas' new personal assistant?" Mr Leo, the director of Hexia Garment asked, his eyes fixed on Aileen.Aileen felt uncomfortable being stared at like that. She had a feeling that he was the kind of bad guy who would not let any female prey, at least not from his lascivious eyes."Please keep your eyes save, Mr Leo. She is mine." Lucas' spontaneous reply made Aileen's eyes widened. Not just Mr Leo."Wow, so you're bringing your woman to professional meetings now? Wow, that's interesting,” Mr Leo said after a while after he had got over his surprise."We should only
Between Love and Scandal 66. Protecting From Away
"Ms. Aileen met with Mr. Lucas this afternoon at the restaurant with representatives from Hexia Garment Ltd. After the meeting, Lucas drove them to the courtyard of Ms. Aileen's apartment. Without stopping."Mr. Ben sent a message to Mark. The man hadn't had much to do lately because the H Corp office had no criminal problems. So when Mark asked him for a favor, to occasionally provide Aileen's security from time to time, he readily agreed."Ah, Lucas. You seem to be interested in Aileen as well?" said Mark. His mind was now filled with fear. What was the intention behind Lucas approaching Aileen? Was it just because he liked Aileen? Or was it just to Lisa's business with him?"Whatever it is, if Lucas dares to hurt Aileen, he'll definitely have to deal with me!" Mark snarled.He clearly had something to do with Aileen's latest kidnapping. Which made Mark very worried about leaving Aileen alone. Mark brooded in his room with a slice of bread in his hand. He had to eat inside because h
Between Love and Scandal 67. Lisa Acts
The next day, it turned out that Lisa was traveling back to NYC. She secretly booked a ticket without Mark's knowledge, saying she would visit a college friend out of town. Lisa only said she would visit a college friend out of town. Mark, who had been looking forward Mark, who had been looking forward to being free of Lisa, was satisfied. At least he wouldn't be bothered by her presence all day.Just being free of Lisa for a day changed Mark a lot. He was so cheerful in the office and even smiled when Gio bombarded him with questions about where Lisa had gone that day.“You can call her yourself if you're worried. I'm enjoying not having her around. So don't spoil the moment by continuing to mention her name!” Mark warned Gio.Poor Gio. The boy was so interested in Lisa. But Lisa didn't want to pay any attention to Gio at all. Gio was clumsy despite his good looks. Ah, of course, Lisa, who was famouswould not be interested in him. Meanwhile, Lisa, who had arrived in Jakarta that afte
Between Love and Scandal 68. A Fathers Dilemma
Lisa didn't stop by the house. She only saw her father briefly at work. Then, when she just wanted to say hello to Lucas, he instead had to undo his intention because Lucas was seen walking hand in hand with Aileen, whom she hated so much. Of course, Lisa didn't want to come over.She immediately went home and waited for her brother to come home so she could confront him. How dare her brother approach Aileen, knowing Lisa hated her so much! Where the hell are those feelings? Lisa couldn't stop thinking.Later that night, Lucas was surprised to find his favorite sister sitting in the living room. Not to mention the glum look he gave her without a care."You're home? Mark... he were here too?" asked Lucas as he looked around the room. But no, Mark wasn't there."Mark didn't know I was here," came Lisa's short reply, her face still bent."Oh dear! How careless of him. Isn't his main job to take care of you?" demanded Lucas in a fit of anger."I'm not a baby. I'm just going home anyway. I
