Aron POV "Mr. Finge, when did you leave the office last night?" Selena questioned me after she spotted me exiting the elevator. "Selena, you are not my boss, and I am not required to inform you about every activity I undertake. You would benefit from concentrating on your task. Have you prepared the report for today's meeting?" I don't feel like engaging in a polite conversation with her today. I am already frustrated because of Sara, and now Selena is only increasing my frustration by asking me silly questions. "I am sorry, Mr. Finge. I'll show you the completed report in just fifteen minutes." In front of my other staff members, I expressed my dissatisfaction with her, and she dropped her head in humiliation. I don't want to treat her badly, but how can I conceal my annoyance?Sara impacted every facet of my life. When I'm with her, everything in my life looks well managed, but as soon as I sense any kind of disruption in our relationship, my mood devolves into chaos. "I am wa
Sara POV Jerry sat with me in the passenger seat and asked her driver to drive the car. I looked at the bright sky in awe. Because it is now morning, all stores have started to open. To get to work on time, people were racing behind taxis and buses. Children were rushing to get to school. Wow, working life is so different from my life. After making breakfast and bidding Aron goodbye in the morning, I did nothing. I didn't work after Aron left the house; instead, I watched kdrama and cartoons. I started contrasting my life with theirs. I had the impression that while the outside world was racing like a rabbit, I was living my life at the pace of a turtle. I had always dreamt of holding an important position in a business office, but circumstances prevented me from finishing my education. My mother had to quit her job as a housemaid due to cardiac issues. I dropped out of my regular education to work as a part-time waitress at a neighboring cafe after she was admitted to the hospita
Aron POV "You still have dare to face me." As soon as I entered the conference hall, Dad approached me with a hateful glance. All the businesspeople in the hall looked at us with interest. They are all well aware of my disputes with my dad."Dad, how are you?" I smiled and hugged him to show other people that everything was fine between us."Aaron, leave me. I am suffocating in your embrace." He tried to break free from my embrace, irritation evident in his voice."I missed you, Dad." I forced a smile, still tried to act like everything was fine between us because I didn't want businesspeople to take advantage of our family issues."Aaron, stop your drama; who are you trying to fool? They're all aware that I have nothing to do with you. Except for my business rival, you are nothing to me." He jerked my arms and angrily freed himself from my embrace. My jaw dropped at his cold behavior. I always tried to earn his love and trust, but he consistently undermined my hopes and insulted m
Sara POV Suddenly, I felt a force that caused my eyes to close on their own, and I shifted from the dark to a blinding, brilliant light. Where am I, and what's happening here? I looked around me in confusion. What's going on here? The sight of high-class people staring at me in confusion immediately filled my eyes with fear. Some sort of commercial meeting must be underway. When I noticed everyone dressed in business suits, I assumed a commercial meeting was in progress. I trailed Aron in the hopes of catching him red-handed with that blonde, but I had no idea that he had come for a business appointment. Amid the pitch blackness, I became completely oblivious to the fact that a business meeting was taking place outside. I don't know who pushed me. I stumbled, struggling to regain my balance as I teetered on the edge of the stage. By sheer luck, I managed to steady myself, narrowly avoiding a humiliating fall. What should I do now? I have to return from the stage. I stepped dow
Aron POV "This year, Mr. Aaron Finge won the Best Businessman of the Year award." When the host of the business conference announced my name as the best businessman, I couldn't believe it. "Oh my god, Aron. You won the award." Sara looked at me with a pride-filled gaze. "On stage, are they calling my name?" I questioned her in disbelief. "Yes, they are inviting you to collect the award." Sara nodded her head to confirm the announcement. "Mr. Figne, congratulations. I am glad that you won the award." Selena returned from the washroom and looked at me with a broad smile on her face. "Thank you, Sara." I couldn't control my happiness, so I hugged her tightly to express my gratitude to her. It's all possible because of her. Her presence indeed boosts my confidence, so much so that I deliver the presentation confidently. I am already fully aware of my company's earnings and investment amount, but until I saw the presentation, I didn't feel comfortable sharing that data. I'm not sure
Sara POV I don't understand why he didn't get bored of flirting with women. For a while, his gentle behavior with me led me to believe that he changed now, but once the conference concluded, he revealed his true nature by flirting with the receptionist. I've always imagined a family man who, in addition to being respectful to me, wouldn't hesitate to declare his love for me in public. Why did he always dash my hopes? I have no right to meddle in his life, even though I wanted to stop him from flirting with the receptionist. I don't understand why he always tries to control my life. I came here with Jerry, so I'll have to go back with her. I consider my work essential, just as his work is significant to him. Although I am not as successful in business as he is, each job has a distinct significance. My eyes filled with tears as I turned my face to look at the hotel reception. Aron was still flirting with her. I lost my attention on my path and ran into a man. "Are you blind?" I tur
Aron POVI attempted to flirt with the hotel receptionist, but as soon as Sara was out of sight, I felt sick at her seductive smile. Even without my asking, she seemed eager to spend the night with me. Why does Sara dislike spending time with me when I want to spend all my time with her, while this woman is constantly willing to spend time with me? I have not even been enraged with her for a long time. I excused the receptionist and turned to head in the direction Sara had been walking a short while ago. I had no idea where she had vanished from the hotel reception's right turn. I dialed Jerry's number to ask about Sara, but she told me that Sara didn't come to her. I don't understand why this woman disappeared suddenly. This hotel, a highly esteemed establishment in the city, fills me with fear for her safety. The business owner's fixation on her further heightened my fear that one of them might abduct her. If she fell in love with any of the CEOs, what would I do? Because she has
Sara POV As we sat in the car, Aron instructed the driver to drive. His tightened jaw filled me with fear that he would chastise me once more for leaving the house without his permission. He would have raped me in front of the public if Aron hadn't arrived to save me then. I want to thank him for rescuing me from that man, even if I'm not sure how he got there. I can't believe the old man was Aron's father. How could he treat his son in such a harsh manner? I refrained from asking him about his father, afraid to look him in the eye, as his heated gaze remained fixed on my face. In an attempt to deflect his stare, I looked out the car window. Whenever there was a moment of silence between us, I always felt a sense of relief, but now I can sense the quiet before the storm in this uncomfortable silence. Why won't he talk to me? If he let his rage out on me, I was relieved, but his stillness made me feel queasy. Despite seeing his protectiveness for me, I don't have to worry about his
