It feels strange that he's been disturbed by Keyara, the new girl. Since the incident of the kiss at the nightclub, he's unexpectedly involved with her in a way that he never felt before. In the past, he never felt this strange jealousy, even though he had Hela, a beautiful girl by his side. But Keyara has broken down all the normal things in Grey's life. Maybe Grey has become more human or more emotional.
As he was staring at the Chara division, hoping Keyara would stand up from her seat, suddenly there was a knock on his office door. The knock brought Grey back to reality.Grey then went back to his desk before allowing the person to come in."Come in," said Grey.The door opened, and Kira appeared with a stack of reports that she had organized. Kira approached her boss's desk and handed over the stack of papers to Grey."Here it is, sir. Yesterday's report, please check it out," said Kira.Grey nodded."Oh, rigGrey walked out of the meeting room and into the character team division, and as he was about to enter his office, Kira stopped him."Sir, someone wants to meet you," Kira said."Do I have an appointment today?" Grey asked, furrowing his brows."No, but there's someone at the reception who wants to meet you. He's Mr. Ares from Zeus Corp."Grey's eyes widened a bit. Finally, Ares came to see him. Both of them were busy people. Grey founded a game company while Ares ran his own security company. They sometimes met, but it had been two months since they had met for hanging out or having a drink.Ares rarely came to his office. They usually made appointments over the phone or by email or messages. But Ares came to see him during office hours.Grey sighed. It seemed like he already knew the reason why Ares came to Gametopya.Should Grey pretend to be busy or confront Ares directly? Grey was too lazy to argue with Ares. He knew that Ares was a very logical man, except when it came to Hela.
Keyara is still talking about the contents of the report she made."So, it's not much different from the previous meeting, except that according to the team leader, there's a small change in the character's clothing and accessories," Keyara said as she opened the report paper she brought and opened the part of the design that Tony had made about the changes in clothing and accessories.Grey was still observing Keyara's lips and then he approached Keyara, "Why didn't Tony come here, but you came here?" Grey asked, now only thirty centimeters away from Keyara, making her more nervous."Uh, well sir, Tony had some urgent matters, so I represent the Chara division team to present... uh, this new proposal..." Keyara stuttered nervously."What kind of urgent matter makes a new employee present alone?" Grey's eyes narrowed sharply, making Keyara even more nervous and scared.Keyara was struggling internally, feeling uneasy about revealing that Tony had a
Tony entered, and his eyes immediately scanned the room, looking for the person: Keyara.Of course, Tony found Keyara standing on the sofa, her face down and blushing. When she lifted her head and saw Tony's face, Keyara became nervous. Her face must be turning red, and Tony noticed it. Keyara seemed to be trying to wipe her hot cheeks.Keyara's heart became anxious, afraid that Tony would discover something unusual or abnormal. Tony, seeing Keyara becoming more worried, was also concerned, especially when he saw her blushing face and watery eyes.Tony thought to himself, "Could it be that Mr. Grey scolded Keyara for daring to present the change plan alone? She is still a new employee."Thinking about this made Tony feel guilty.Grey returned to his desk and looked at Tony with an annoyed expression. He was irritated that Tony showed up at this pleasant moment. However, Tony thought the reason why Grey was angry was that he allowed Keyara to present alone."Mr. Grey, I apologize to yo
The lift door opened, and Ares stepped out. Several pairs of women's eyes glanced at him. He was a handsome man with a cold-looking expression.Ares walked calmly, and at the end of the hallway, Keyara hurriedly walked while checking the completeness of her bag. She wanted to take her wallet, so she looked down. At the intersection, because Keyara didn't see him, her body collided with Ares's.Keyara was shocked, and her balance was unstable.Ares had good reflexes. He quickly caught Keyara's waist, so she didn't fall.Keyara gripped Ares's arm and tried to stand up. Her face turned pale for a moment, then blushed when hugged by a man."Thank you...." Keyara said stuttering.Ares smiled slightly, then helped pick up Keyara's bag that fell to the floor.On the other side, Grey came out of his room and walked towards the hallway. He was surprised to see Keyara and Ares talking. What made Grey more stunned was Ares's presence in his office.Didn't Grey tell Ares that he was not there?"W
Ares growled and walked towards the door. He passed Grey and left without saying another word.Grey sighed, and Kira waited at the door with a puzzled look, still holding the tray."Sir... what about this coffee?" Kira asked."Just leave it inside," Grey said as he went back into his room. Kira complied and brought the coffee into her boss's office. She placed it on the table and then left the room.Grey sighed and sat on his office sofa, resting his head on it. His words seemed to challenge Ares.Should he pick a fight with his friend?Ares entered the elevator with a scowl on his face. Some of the workers who entered the same elevator could feel the intimidating aura of Zeus Corp's CEO.Grey challenged him! Ares couldn't believe it. From a status perspective, Ares was above Grey. They were friends, but luck favored Ares more than Grey. Ares became successful before Grey. His Zeus Corp company grew several times larger than Grey.Did Grey intend to challenge him?Did Grey think that
The red Ford car was cutting through the road. The sky was turning orange as dusk approached. Keyara looked towards Grey."Sir, wh-why did you ask me to ride in your car?""I will take you home," Grey replied."You'll take me home this time? Because I haven't been home since yesterday.""Yes.""Really?""Please, Key, trust me. I will take you home."Keyara sighed. Her heart was unsure, but she had no choice but to trust him.Grey kept his promise. He drove Keyara to the front of her house, about 100 yards away."Here is fine, sir," Keyara said."Where is your house?""It's still 100 yards away. But you don't have to take me to the front. If my parents see, they'll think something is going on.""Okay. See you at the office," Grey said as Keyara got out of the car.The red Ford car drove back towards the main road, leaving Keyara feeling relieved.When Keyara entered the front yard of her house, her mother was standing at the front, with her arms crossed and a frown on her face, a mix o
Grey took a deep breath while concentrating on driving. Hela's angry scream made him hold back his emotions. Initially, Grey wanted to leave Hela halfway, but this time he decided to take her home before she acted recklessly."Why, Grey? We've been through so much in these two years, why did you suddenly change?" Hela spoke with a sobbing voice.Grey remained silent, avoiding any conversation. It was one of Grey's strategies to wait until Hela calmed down."Are you tired of me? Is it because I refuse to sleep with you?" Hela asked again, making Grey swallow hard."Hela, please calm down..." Grey finally spoke."Why? Is it because that woman satisfied you in bed, so you switched your heart?" Hela screamed.Oh no! Grey bit his lip. Hela started to assume things, just like six months ago. She accused him repeatedly without any break, making Grey feel guilty."Who is she, that bitch?" Hela now stared at Grey, her faded eyeliner made her eyes look black like a panda's. The eyeliner smudged
Hela opened her eyes and saw Ares next to her. She immediately jerked and then tightly held her brother's hand. "Where's Grey?!" she asked in a panic.Ares smiled, slightly sad. "Hela, as soon as you wake up, you ask about Grey. Don't worry he's outside..."Hela then cried, making her brother panic. "Hela, why?" Ares exclaimed, approaching his sister and hugging her as she sobbed."Grey doesn't want to come back to me, brother..." Hela stuttered. "But I love him so much. I'd rather die if I can't be with him..."Ares sighed. "So that's why you jumped out of Grey's car?""If Grey doesn't want to be with me, there's no point in living for me..." Hela cried even harder, leaving Ares helpless and only able to stroke her head and back. Ares had a burst of emotions toward Grey in his mind."Don't worry, sis. He won't leave you. If you want, I'll drag him here, make him apologize to you, and if necessary, get you guys married!" Ares said while patting his sister's back."Brother? Grey can't
Keyara felt almost choked up seeing Grey arrive. She hadn't expected Grey to come at all. How did he come? Keyara looked towards her father, her eyes betraying curiosity. Seeing Mr. Oliver's gaze, Keyara knew that Mr. Oliver must have been the one to inform Grey that he should come.Grey burst in, then swiftly pulled Keyara's body out of the chair and embraced her tightly. Keyara even found it difficult to breathe for a moment."I'm grateful you're back, I truly had no idea where else to look for you!" Grey exclaimed with joy.Keyara tried to hold her breath as Grey continued to hold her tightly, but at the thirtieth second, she couldn't bear it any longer. She attempted to convey to Grey that she was having trouble breathing in such a tight embrace.Grey quickly released his embrace. He smiled with happiness."Ah, now that Grey is here. Grey should also take a seat," Keyara said.Grey nodded and promptly took a seat on their sofa."Where have you been, Key? What have you been doing,
Keyara was startled, quickly gripping Ares' hand and then leaning over, getting closer to his face."Ares... you awake?!" Keyara asked with a mixture of anxiousness and joy.Ares' initial response was just a slow movement of his fingers, then his mouth moved gradually. Seeing Ares' lips moving, Keyara leaned in closer, placing her ear nearby. She could hear a faint and gentle voice."Yara..."Keyara immediately tightened her grip on Ares' hand. "Yes, I'm here...""Yara..." Ares' voice sounded weak. "Water..." He uttered, prompting Keyara to press the button to call the nurse.A few moments later, several nurses and doctors entered the ICU room. Keyara stepped back against the side wall, watching as the doctors busied themselves examining Ares, ensuring his condition, checking his vital signs, and his consciousness.Berry, standing behind the large glass window, looked on with joyful eyes. He was thankful that his boss had awakened from his coma.After a while, the doctor turned to fac
Grey was seen fixing his tie and then admiring himself in the mirror. Today wasn't Sunday; he had rearranged his schedule and would arrive around noon. His plan for the day was to visit Keyara, take her out for a while, and then return to the office.Grey decided to take it slow, considering that Keyara hadn't regained her memories yet. It must have been quite a shock, but Grey was confident that if he reassured Keyara, their marriage could be restored.Thus, Grey whistled happily, imagining all the positive things in his mind. As he descended the stairs, his cheerful demeanor caught the attention of his mother, Ms. Maple."Grey, why do you look so delighted? Is there something pleasing you?" Ms. Maple inquired upon seeing Grey's joyful attitude.Ah, Grey smirked and realized he hadn't shared the joyful news of Keyara's return with his parents yet."Well, you could say that," Grey replied, then approached and joyfully kissed his mother's cheek."Oh, are you going to share it with me?"
"Miss..." Berry tried to gently pull Keyara back to prevent her from falling."Now, where is he?" Keyara asked, her voice trembling. Tears had already started streaming down her cheeks."Mr. Ares is currently at the hospital," Berry replied.Keyara clenched her fists, her hands pressed against her lips in distress. "Bring me there, Berry. I need to see him," Keyara said, her voice quivering as she fought back tears.Berry nodded. He would do just that. Berry guided Keyara towards his car, where the headlights still illuminated them. He opened the back door for her to make it easier for her to get in. Keyara looked uneasy as she got in, sitting down with shallow breaths.For the first time, Keyara felt as if her heart had plunged into a dark swamp. Upon hearing the news of Ares being in a coma, she felt like quicksand was pulling her down and ready to swallow her.Berry drove with occasional glances back through the rearview mirror. He saw Keyara's pale face. Berry was actually relieve
Keyara held her breath. She had accidentally stepped outside her room, intending to go downstairs for a drink, but the conversation between her parents was audible from where she stood. Her heart felt wounded. Even though they were her parents, hearing them say that the child she had given birth to was unwanted hurt deeply. Keyara slowly retreated and then re-entered her room.Keyara curled up on the bed, burying her face in her knees. Her feelings were crushed. While she knew the truth about Ares and Lion, who were considered her birth parents, were unremembered entities to her. Even Grey. Although Keyara had once been infatuated with Grey and thought about him, her memories of Grey were limited to their meeting in Spain.Keyara felt like she didn't belong here. She didn't recognize this room. Despite her many photos displayed on the walls, she didn't know any of those faces.Keyara pressed her face into her knees, drowning her confusion and sadness.It seemed like just yesterday her
Keyara fell silent in her room, tears streaming down her face. Her memories hadn't returned yet, but the recent events had hit her heart hard. She had been deceived, for a very long time.Keyara suddenly bit her lip, how could she have been in love with Ares back then? Letting that man claim her, while he had already committed a grave wrong against her.Keyara still seemed visibly shaken. Trying to process all the new information was like attempting to digest an overwhelming wave. She felt the need to be alone, closing and locking her door. Though her surroundings felt unfamiliar due to her memory issues, she recognized that this was her room.From behind the closed door, a knocking sound reached her ears. Keyara hastily wiped her tears away. Clearing the traces of her emotions that were still lingering."Who is it?" Keyara asked, her voice slightly louder than usual."Key, it's me..." Grey's voice sounded.Keyara fell silent, her face now pale. The barrage of incoming information fel
Ares wiped his nose. The thick, red liquid streaked across his hand. He remembered a time in junior high when he had bled, back when he faced bullying. But Ares wasn't one to back down when confronted by oppressors. He fought back, leaving his tormentors with broken bones and a call to their parents. Ares never stopped fighting.Afterward, he never allowed anyone to make him bleed again. He delved into boxing, karate, and marksmanship. He fortified his body to ensure no one dared lay a hand on him again.And now, someone had made his nose bleed again. It was the man who had been his friend in the past, now turned into an enemy and a rival for Keyara's love. Ares was in his worst state. He couldn't even muster a punch against Grey, not with the emotional turmoil, he felt, akin to a churning black hole.Grey seemed unsatisfied; he wanted to hurt Ares even more. Making Ares realize that Grey, standing before him, was the man rightfully in possession of Keyara. Ares had audaciously propos
Ares removed his helmet. Then he opened the gate. The house appeared deserted. He hesitated slightly. Bringing Keyara to this place, what now?Initially, he wanted to step back, but something in his heart urged him to move forward again. Now or never.His feet, which were initially uncertain, took another step. The open door revealed no one. He proceeded with caution. Ares entered the house without permission.Grey's eyes widened when he saw a figure entering the living room. Quickly, Grey stood up."You!" Grey exclaimed, rising to his feet.Mr. Oliver turned around, equally surprised by the middle-aged man's presence.Ares stepped into the separate family room, formed by a partition that resembled a door."How did you get here?!" Grey demanded.Mr. Oliver stood up. Then unexpectedly, the middle-aged man approached and slapped Ares' face. The man who appeared out of nowhere was now taken aback.Ares held his stinging cheek. His eyes squinted in bewilderment."You dare to come here aft
Ares continued to stare at Doctor David. His eyes were intense, laden with pressure, while Doctor David seemed to try to remain composed.Ares smiled, "Even if Grey were to know, logically, no one else should know. Especially not an outsider like you, knowing about Keyara's situation. Unless... you were the one who leaked the information to Grey himself. Am I wrong in my suspicion?" Ares turned around now, finding Doctor David pale in place.Ares seemed to clench his fists, then he asked again, "How much were you paid to provide that information to Grey?"Doctor David shook his head, "No... it's not like that...""HOW MUCH WERE YOU PAID!!" Ares raised his voice.Anyone who heard Ares' escalated tone would surely feel fear. Ares always managed to instill horror and fear when he bared his angry fangs."On... One hundred thousand..." Doctor David stuttered in reply.Ares growled, then he turned to Berry, "Call the security, then toss this bastard onto the streets!""Mr. Ares... but... yo
