Chapter Twenty One

2024-10-29 19:42:56By the time I get to work, I've called Roberto like twenty times. He has ignored every single one of my calls. And hasn't replied to the many texts I've sent in between.
I huff.
He must be enjoying his little power trip.
Okay. Maybe not so little. If he gets his way, I'll be knees deep in trouble.
I rush through the office at twenty past eight. Someone calls out a greeting to me, but I can't concentrate on that. All my senses are searching the direction of Fiona's cube. Whether I like it or not, she's the only hope I have of getting to Roberto and asking him to stop whatever he's brewing.
I head over and she's sitting at her desk, on her phone.
"We need to talk," I tell her, keeping my voice low.
She looks at me, then back to her phone. "About?"
"You know what," I reply, trying hard not to snap.

"I finally get to have one good night's sleep and what do I wake up to in the morning? Another scandal brewing, with my company's name top of the menu. Who is that guy, what does he do, and what does he know about you?"I've barely gotten comfortable in the seat when Hyun Bin starts his rant.He looks pissed off.His tie looks to have been pulled at a few times, his coat is resting on his seat, and his shirt sleeves are rolled to his forearms. He looks hot.I clear my throat and restrain my runaway thoughts."He knows, uh, pretty much everything about me." Including where I live. "I saw him yesterday. ""And?"I shift in my chair. "He wanted to talk but I turned him down. Said I'd regret it.""So he's paying you back for rejecting him."I nod."You have horrible taste in guys, don't you?"*Yea

"I'm still coming over this weekend."I sigh. I'm arranging things in my closet, my phone balanced between my ear and shoulder. Bella is on the other side."Everything was handled, okay? Roberto will not bother me again. He made the right choice and took money over coming back for seconds. Who knew he could be that smart."During the day, as everybody counted down to 6p.m. for the exclusive reveal from @rvlfeed, Bella insisted to come over because she was worried about me. Then 6p.m. came and there was no news, @rvlfeed apologising and claiming that their source had withdrawn at the last minute. They were currently under fire for making promises when they didn't have their hands on the intel.Now that the comapny has dealt with Roberto, there is no reason for Bella to be worried about me."Not everything is about you, girl," she says in a sing song voice. "I got invited to a party."

This party is a bust.Don't get me wrong. I've never been to such a glamorous party before. Michael is throwing his bash at The Daze, and the set up is mind blowing. The crowd is crazy. And everybody is clearly having a good time.About the party being a bust?That's my jealousy talking.I knew Park Hyun Bin was going to be here. Much as I wouldn't have admitted it out loud, I was excited to see him outside work, again. And a bit nervous, of course.What I had not considered was the possibility of him having a gorgeous supermodel hanging off his arm like a trophy.I should have been able to look and walk away without feeling like my insides are in a twist. But ever since I laid my eyes on the pair? I haven't had a moment of peace.Maybe I wouldn't be feeling so blue - or green - if he didn't look so sinfully gorgeous in his getup of

The aftermath of the scuffle are several bleeding lips, black eyes, and bruised bodies.The security team eventually subdues the partycrashers and throws them out of the club alongside their ring leader. With an ice pack pressed to his jaw, Michael instructs the DJ to resume the music and announces that the party isn't over yet.The crowd gets right back into the mood, while Michael retreats to the back office.Bella is the one holding his arm and leading him towards the office. I go after them, carrying our purses. Hyun Bin comes with us too."I'll stay back and ensure this guy gets back to his place in one piece," Bella says as she settles Michael in a couch in his office. "Emma, why don't you catch a ride back with Hyun Bin?"I stare at her as if she's an alien.What did she just-"Right, Binnie?" Michael adds. "Make sure she gets home safe."

"Weren't you going to see Yeri?""She can wait."We are outside my apartment. Park Hyun Bin is coming into my apartment. This has been quite an interesting week, hasn't it? It started with him abducting me to his house, and now he's about to come into mine. I feel like everything is going at a pace I can't keep up with.He lifts an eyebrow and looks up and down the hallway. "Are you going to let us in or not?"I insert my key and open the door. The light in the entryway automatically comes on, and I switch on the ones for the living room.Hyun Bin steps into the room after me. My eyes scan the room, hoping it's not an embarrassment. Maybe it would be, had this been a weekday. But it is Saturday, and I spent time cleaning up before Bella showed up and we went to the party."Nice place," he compliments as I close the door behind me.It's quite a sight, seeing Pa

Hyun Bin's kiss consumes me in a way none has ever done before. The moment our lips meet, an electric feeling rocks my entire body. All my senses are focused on him and what he's doing. His lips on mine, his hands on either side of my face, the length of his body a bare inch away from mine. My hands, still wrapped around the lapels of his jacket, pull him closer. But he can't get any closer. He's quite tall and I'm almost an entire feet shorter than him. My struggle doesn't last long though as his hands leave my face and travel to the back of my thighs. I jump as he hoists me up and wrap my legs around his waist. Better. He kisses me fiercely for a few more seconds before he pulls away, our lips parting but our foreheads resting together. I open my eyes and find him looking at me. My breathing is askew and my heart is beating so furiously it's almost embarrassing.

"You're... So... Beautiful." Each word is punctuated by a kiss to my tummy. I'm not going to argue with him, but... Whatever beauty he can see in me cannot compare to his. Hyun Bin's entire body could as well be a piece of thoughtfully crafted art. I feel like if I got more chances to be this close to him, I would become addicted. And that's not good. At all. He moves up my body, his fingers trailing up my legs as his lips flutter to my cleavage. As his hands get higher, my legs split open in anticipation. He really did mean it earlier when he said he wanted to take his time. I got what I wanted — quick, mind-blowing sex that took care of the sexual tension and frustration that was driving our passion at that moment. We moved from my living room to my bed, and Hyun Bin's caresses and touches are quickly working me up again. He trails the tip of his nose over my breast,

"I don't wanna go to work tomorrow," I moan, my cheek pressed to the cool neck of the beer bottle in my hand.It's Sunday evening, and Bella finally made it back to my apartment. She isn't happy to find me in a messy apartment, several, empty beer bottles littering my table with me settled on the floor."If you keep drinking, you'll definitely not be able to go," she points out.My eyes widen as I get an idea."Maybe I can call in sick, right? Yes!""What about the day after that?""I'll be ready to face him," I say.Bella sighs. She's sitting on the other side of the table. "Maybe if you tell me what happened, I can help.""I messed up," I say."Yeah, you've already told me that ten times already. I want details, Emma. How else can I help you?"I pout and shake my head.

One Year Later "Thank you for coming. Bye, have a safe ride home." I walk back towards the entrance and heave a sigh of relief. That was the last guest to leave. The night is finally over, and as much as I enjoyed it, my legs are killing me from being on my feet all evening. Before getting back into the building, I come to a halt and stare at the shining sign above the entrance. Emma's. The smile that has been assaulting my lips every time I see that logo appears. It still feels unreal. A year ago, I never would have thought I would be launching my company today. I've spent the last year planning everything and putting together my first collection while also working for one of the biggest fashion houses in the city.

"Stop worrying," Hyun Bin urges as he closes the door behind us. We've ended up in a condo by the beach. He takes hold of my hand and pulls me to him. He cradles my face in his hands and looks at me earnestly. "Everything is going to be fine. I promise." After he explained everything during the ride over, I tried to be positive. Everything he's telling me points to a massive exposé that's going to cause ripples countrywide and clear up a lot of misunderstandings from the past. But there's a part of me that's reluctant to relax. I've watched him battle negative press time and again successfully, but it only provides temporary reprieve. When the next scandal arises, it's as if he never proved himself before. How many times does he need to prove himself before people leave hi

In the morning, my mother shakes me awake. I realise the sofa bed is pulled out and I'm covered up. When I cried myself to sleep last night, I didn't get up to pull the bed out or get a blanket. "Emma, wake up. You have a visitor." I sit up, half-confused. "What? Me? Who? What's the time?" Why would I have a visitor in Busan? I don't have any friends here. "It's six." And who on earth pays someone a visit so early? "Emma?" I stare at my mother, uncomprehending. Someone else just called my name. Someone with Hyun Bin's voice. I whip my head towards the direction of the door. Hyun Bin i

When I get to the station in Busan, I get a taxi and give the driver the address Jennifer sent me. It's an address for an apartment in Daeyeon, which has me a little confused. All along, I thought I was headed to Haeundae, where Louise lives. Unless Jennifer got a separate place. I arrive after about ten minutes and make my way to the fourth floor. I ring the bell and the door opens a few seconds later. Jennifer is standing on the other side, dressed in a purple shirt and black slacks. It looks like work uniform. She smiles at me and reaches for my suitcase. "Emma! Come in." "Thanks," I step over the threshold and walk into the room. The living room is about the size of mine, but it's a lot neater. "I didn't know you had your own place." She closes the door and comes after me. "Yes, I… Louise go

By the time we emerge from the bedroom, it's dark out and I'm starving. We plan to make dinner together, but Hyun Bin excuses himself to his study room first. I've kept him away from work for long enough, so I don't try to hold him back anymore.When he finally reappears, the spicy chicken stew I'm making is almost done, same as the rice. I'm in the middle of preparing a vegetable salad.He walks over and gives me a kiss on the forehead. "I'm sorry, that took longer than I expected.""No worries, I've got this covered."He sniffs the air. "Yeah, I can tell." I dig my elbow into his side playfully. He chuckles and moves away. "I'll set the table.""Any developments?" I ask later when we're at the table."There's a

I head to the bathroom and when I come back, I run into Hyun Bin heading into his study room. I frown and walk over. "What are you doing?" "I have to take care of some stuff." I shake my head and reach for his hand. "You've been at work all night. Did you sleep at all?" "Don't worry about me. I was an idol, remember? I've gone for days without sleep." I shake my head. "You need to rest. Dealing with everything when you're tired will only make you more frustrated." "Emma, every second I don't spend looking for who is behind all this is another second of people smearing your name all over the place." "I don't want you to sacrifice your health for that. I'm sure your team is handling everything well. Come." I

I taste the orange juice on his lips. But that's not the reason my insides are in a knot. I thought I'd never feel his lips against mine again. My eyes are closed tight, but I don't need to look to know I've caught him by surprise. I pry his lips apart with mine, giving him a soft kiss. "Emma--" "Kiss me." It's too quiet. The sound of our breathing is the only thing in my ears. He makes no move for so many seconds that I believe he's not going to. By when I'm about to pull away, his lips crash into mine. I lock out all thought from my mind and kiss him back, taking everything I can. I didn't realise how much I missed this. Not just kissing him but being thi

I make a call to Bella and let her know what's up. After that, I spent most of my time pacing around Hyun Bin's living area, waiting for him to show up. He disappeared into his study room after we agreed on what to do about the dating rumours. He hasn't come out of the room since. The company has already released a statement revealing that the song leak was an intended early surprise for the fans. Another statement noted that I'm not related to any anti-fan activities. But fans' reactions show they need more than a couple of statements to go by. Many think this is PR's way of saving the company's face. Unless they sue someone for the false accusations and reveal a motive, nothing is going to be convincing. I want to ask Hyun Bin whether they've found something on Fiona. But that's not the only thing that has me restless.

"What do you think you're doing?" I demand, fixing my eyes on Hyun Bin. "Are you okay? Did anyone hurt you?" he asks instead of answering my question. His eyes roam all over my body, as if searching for a sign of injury. "I'm fine!" I snap. I was fine before he showed up. "Why the hell are you here? You made things worse!" "There are crowds of angry fans outside your building, Emma! How exactly did I make this worse?" "I had a plan! I was going to leave, unnoticed, before you showed up and made a show of it. God knows what they're saying now." His jaw clenches. "Where were you going to go?" "Bella's." "They know about Bella's."
