Karin swallowed hard, she felt uncomfortable with Ryan's closeness to her. She also tried to dare herself to look at Ryan. "What do you mean by saying that? I only want a job as your secretary and nothing else. I will not lower myself, just to be accepted to work at your company."
Ryan smiled a cynical smile at Karin. “Why don't I believe what you say I feel like there is something you are hiding from me.” She then lowered her body, until his face was level with Karin's face. Karin could feel Ryan's warm breath hitting her face.
The mint scent of Ryan's breath, plus the expensive perfume he was wearing, seemed to anesthetize Karin. It made her want to pretend to faint just to feel his embrace.
Karin became increasingly nervous, plus Ryan's eyes didn't leave her face, it was like hypnosis. The look in his eyes seemed to want to invite her to go to bed. And the urge felt so strong that it made Karin feel uncomfortable where she was sitting.
"You may not believe what I say, because of your previous experience with several women. However, I did not lie in what I said just now.” Karin tried to push Ryan away, even though it seemed rude, to the man who would be her boss if she were hired.
Ryan didn't move away because of Karin's encouragement. However, he was too firm where he was standing, so Karin couldn't move his body an inch. He caught Karin's hand, which was pressed against his chest.
Karin jerked roughly, Ryan's hand was holding hers, she felt as if there was an electric shock flowing between the two of them and it made something ripple in Karin's chest.
Ryan straightened his body, in fact, she also felt disturbed by his closeness to Karin earlier. “Damn! What makes this woman feel different, compared to the women I have dated is it because his demeanor looks calm? Damn! this woman!" Ryan cursed in his heart.
Ryan walked back behind his desk. He then sat there, but his eyes couldn't leave Karin's face.Karin felt relieved when she saw Ryan sitting back in his original place. The man put on a cold face again, deep in his heart, Karin would have preferred it if her future boss looked at her like that.
Compared to his gaze earlier which was so deep and persuasive. 'Why is it that just looking at him makes me almost tempted?' Karin thought.
She bit her lip again, to get rid of her nervousness. Her red tongue stuck out to lick her dry lips. And, unfortunately, all of that didn't escape Ryan's observation.
“You want to tempt me into kissing your lips, don't you?” Ryan looked at Karin's lips sharply.
Suddenly Karin was surprised to hear Ryan's question. She didn't expect it at all.
Karin felt thirsty, but she didn't dare to take the mineral water that was on the table in front of her before Ryan gave her permission. Only her eyes looked at the glass expectantly.Ryan followed Karin's gaze. "Please drink the water!"
Karin was relieved to hear that. Immediately she took a plastic glass of mineral water and drank the water until he emptied the contents. However, because she was nervous, Ryan continued to stare sharply at her. Making Karin choke on the water she was drinking.
Ryan quickly stood up from his seat, he then patted Karin's back hard, until Karin's eyes watered. However, Ryan didn't care.Karin moved her body away from Ryan, she felt a little annoyed because the man hit her back hard. "Thank you, Sir! for helping me," said Karin, even though her heart was upset.
Ryan sat back in his chair. “Are you sure about the position you want to apply for?” Ryan asked while reading the CV in his hand.
He then raised his head from the file in his hand. He stared closely at Karin from top to bottom.
Karin straightened up in her seat. “I'm sure sir, with the position I want. I have also learned what a secretary must do. And it's all by the education I took."
Ryan frowned, his eyes searching. "And do you mean to use the attractiveness of your sexy body as part of your plan to get the position as my secretary?"
Karin counted to ten in her heart, to hold back her anger which was about to explode. "If only I didn't need this job to pay my living expenses, I would get out of this place right now," Karin muttered to herself.
"I'm sorry if you feel disturbed by my body. Would you prefer if I wore more closed clothes? I'm not looking for trouble by trying to seduce you. "I just want to get this job," said Karin.
A crooked smile spread across Ryan's lips. “How much do you want this job? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to get this job?”
Karin felt that Ryan was testing her, through the questions he asked. And she must give intelligent answers. "I will indeed give what is best according to my abilities, to be accepted to work here. However, that doesn't mean I will use my body to get to that position, sir.”
“Hmm, okay! I have read from your CV that you are the best graduate on your campus. Do you think I should accept your proposal?” Ryan asked.
"I believe that you should accept me because I will prove that what is on my CV is real," said Karin confidently.
Ryan then leaned his back against the back of the chair. "Okay, I accept you to be my secretary. And. as long as you know, working together means you have to be prepared to work hard and also with overtime hours."
Karin quickly nodded her head. Happiness radiated in her eyes and face. "Yes, sir! I will prove that I am worthy to be your secretary."
Ryan's eyes followed Karin's movements as she stood up from her seat and her eyes lingered on Karin's chest, where she had removed the top two buttons.
Ryan's chest rose and fell, in his heart he was cursing Karin which made him want to take her to the nearest bed.
Karin stretched out her right hand to shake Ryan's hand. And, it seems like that was a mistake. As soon as her fingers were in Ryan's grasp, the man jerked his hand, until he fell onto the man's chest.
“You're just pretending you don't like my touch! "I know, before doing this interview you must have imagined what it would be like to be touched by me," Ryan whispered in Karin's ear.
Karin swallowed hard, her throat suddenly felt dry. The hairs on the back of her neck bristled at the feeling of Ryan's warm breath, which touched her neck.
Karin was shocked when she realized Ryan's hand had crept into the open part of her shirt. "I ask you, Sir! not to act like this, I don't like it at all!" said Karin, in a hoarse voice.
Ryan smiled slightly, his hand moving from Karin's chest to her lips. He rubbed her lips gently. “How clever these lips are at lying, can't you hear your heart beating so fast? I can see if you've been imagining what it would be like to be kissed by me." Ryan whispered in a hoarse voice, because of excitement.
Karin was silent where she sat because she couldn't deny what Ryan said, but the image of her childhood, which she had to go through with her suffering mother, because of men made Karin afraid. She didn't want herself to experience the same suffering as her mother.
Karin shook her head in a weak voice she said, "I don't want your touch! And I also don't want to sleep with you, or any other man!"
Ryan just looked at Karin with a cold face, he then invited Karin to leave his room. “Later, when you get out of here. Go to the room opposite the elevator. Tell the woman in the room that you are accepted to work here."Karin, who was about to leave Ryan's room, turned around. "Okay, Sir! I will say.”Coming out of Ryan's room, Karin went straight to the room her boss had mentioned earlier. Standing in front of a door that looked sturdy, Karin knocked on the door.After being invited to come in, she opened the door. Karin sat opposite a woman with a neat and stiff appearance. She looked searchingly at Karin.“Afternoon, ma'am! "My name is Karin and I was told by Mr. Ryan to report to you Ma’am, that I am now her secretary," explained Karin.The woman's eyes increasingly disliked looking at Karin. "Do you know what you have to do as secretary?" asked the woman coldly.Karin looked into the woman's eyes calmly. "In general, I already know the duties of a secretary, ma'am."The woman wa
Thank God I didn't wake up late, even though I cried all night because I remembered my late mother, but why did I dream last night about the man I should call Dad? Is this a sign that the man is looking for me? Memories of the past that I tried to keep under wraps are now coming back since I became Ryan's secretary,' thought Karin.Karin got out of bed and went to the sink to clean her face and brush her teeth. After that, she changed clothes and walked to the kitchen to make breakfast. She turned on the oven and baked bread in it. After that, she spread the bread with peanut butter, deliciously.She looked at her watch and it was already 07.15 in the morning. There was still half an hour for her to get to the office.After breakfast, Karin hurriedly left her apartment. She walked towards the bus stop and didn't wait long. The bus that went to work came and stopped in front of the bus stop where she was sitting.She chose to sit in the middle which was still empty. Occasionally she gl
Suddenly Karin was surprised to hear that. She is stared in disbelief at Ryan. How could the boss say something like that so casually? "You must be joking, Sir!""Thank you for your offer, sir. However, I prefer to just change clothes in the employee toilet, sir!” said Karin.Ryan stood up from his seat and walked closer to where Karin was standing. He then said in a low voice. "Do you dare to take this key, so you can get out of my room?"Karin closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It felt like she was about to curse her boss, who had made her feel like she was trapped in the lion's den.She held out her hand towards Ryan. "Please give me the door key, sir!"Ryan grabbed Karin's fingers and put them right in the pocket of the shirt he was wearing. “I'm not forbidding you from taking it directly. It's just that there are conditions if you want me to hand it directly in to your hands.Karin had to hold back her anger which was ready to explode. She understood what conditions Ryan mea
“Ryan! Don't you still love me?" Ryan's girlfriend asked uncertainly.Ryan glanced briefly at his lover and folded his arms across his chest, then looked straight back in front."I warned you that I don't like having a lover who is nagging and jealous for no apparent reason," Ryan stated coldly.“I think it's time for our relationship to end here. Go ahead, find another man, one you can boss around and suspect as you please!” Ryan stared coldly at the woman who was now his ex-girlfriend.Ryan's girlfriend stared in disbelief at Ryan, who was acting selfishly. She had heard rumors about how Ryan easily broke up with his girlfriend.“What do you mean by saying, like that? Did you break up with me? You bastard, you Ryan! You just want to break up with me and this must all be because of that woman, right?" Ryan's girlfriend snapped, shaking Ryan's body violently.“Sir, please stop!” Ryan ordered his driver. And the driver immediately followed suit.Once the car has stopped. Ryan glanced a
“Why should I, sir? "I don't deserve to be your companion at that party," said KarinInstead of answering Karin's question, Ryan got up from his seat and walked out of the restaurant.Karin stared in disbelief at Ryan's back, who was walking out of the restaurant, after he gave her an ultimatum.Awakening from her reverie, Karin got up from her seat and walked towards the cashier. When she was about to pay her lunch bill, it turned out that Ryan had already paid her lunch bill.Karin walked out of the restaurant and almost bumped into Ryan's back, who suddenly appeared from beside the restaurant door."Why are you standing there? Are you waiting for me?" asked Karin,Ryan turned around and looked at Karin coldly. "Don't be big-headed, I can't possibly wait for you!"Karin nodded. "Yes, what you said is true. Excuse me, sir, I'm going to the office first." Karin walked back towards the company where she worked.However, after she had only walked a few steps, Ryan rebuked him. "What are
"Oh Lord! Don't let the people in the car get close to me,' thought Karin.Karin's nervousness became even more intense when she came from inside the car with dark windows. A man wearing all black came down and approached Karin."Good evening Miss! Please come with me into the car!” the person's order was short.Karin's hand touched the bag she was carrying on her shoulder. She also managed to find what she was looking for. Pepper spray. However, before she could use it, the man in black clothes warned her."Mr. Ryan is waiting for you in the car, Miss!" said the man.Hearing his name called, Ryan rolled down the car window, so Karin could see that he was the one in the car.“Come in quickly! Don't pretend to refuse. You never know what you will encounter, if you are determined to stay at this stop. There could be a drunk who will rape you. Instead of being raped by drunks, it's better to come with me!” Ryan ordered.Karin considered what Ryan said. And the best choice was to go, with
Ryan looked at the two security officers casually and had no fear at all. “What do you want? Are you going to throw me out of here? If you dare touch my body, I will make you suffer on the streets and no one will accept you to work!"He was silent for a moment waiting for the reaction of the two security officers. "Good! You understand what I'm saying. "The owner of this nightclub is my cousin, tell him that Ryan is disappointed with the service!"After saying that, Ryan walked out of the VIP room. The security guard, who had looked fierce, just let Ryan pass them.Both of them remembered Ryan's face. And they did recognize him as the brother of this nightclub owner.Instead of having trouble with the boss's cousin, it's better for them to just act indifferent. After all, the woman who had screamed did not suffer the slightest injury and her clothes and appearance were not damaged.Once outside, Ryan walked towards the parking lot and his private driver swiftly opened the door for him
Ryan watched Karin's face sleeping in his arms. 'Hmm, what would this woman do if she found out she was sleeping in my arms?' Ryan muttered.Ryan slept next to Karin, with his arm faithfully hugging Karin's stomach, while his other hand became a pillow for Karin's head.A few moments later Karin opened her eyes slowly. She was surprised, because she remembered sleeping on the sofa and why now she was back on his bed.When she was about to get out of bed. She felt a heavy feeling in her stomach and she also heard the sound of a man's heavy breathing right next to her ear.She quickly turned around and that's when her eyes met Ryan's black eyes.“Sir, Ryan! Why can you sleep with me? What have you done?" Karin asked, with a disapproving look.Ryan had woken up earlier and was watching what Karin was doing. "If only we had slept together, would you easily forget what we had done?" Ryan winked teasingly at Karin.Karin immediately opened the blanket and saw that her clothes were still int
"Why didn't you tell me? I have the right to know and refuse or agree to meet that man!” Karin looked at Ryan with teary eyes. Ryan put his hands in his trouser pockets. He refrained from hugging Karin and calmed the woman's anger. "I just want you to meet your past self!" Ryan casually turned around and walked away, leaving Karin with the strange man, who had only been silently watching the two of them. As soon as he set his feet on the ground, Ryan said, "I'll wait for you in the car. You two need privacy to talk.” He waved at the man standing close to Karin. "Don't hurt Karin! Or I will teach you a lesson!” After giving a warning to the man. Ryan sat in his car, even though he preferred to accompany Karin, but he realized that the two of them needed time alone where they could talk freely. Meanwhile, Karin clenched her hands into fists. His eyes watered, but he held it in as hard as he could. “Why do you only want to meet me now, after all these years? You certainly know, don
"Okay, sir! I understand," said Karin in a low voice. She felt defeated and weak, if possible, she wanted to leave Ryan's company.With slow footsteps, Karin entered the elevator. She didn't look back, even though she felt his back burning, because she was being stared at sharply from behind.When she entered the elevator and the door was about to close, a shoe held the elevator door closed. Karin looked up and saw Luke entering the elevator.Luke's big hand reached out to Karin's chin. “I heard the commotion between you and Norah. I can't understand how Ryan can defend Norah more, but it's good that I can get closer to you!"Karin usually tries to avoid Luke so as not to cause a fight between Ryan and Luke. However, now she doesn't care anymore.“Hey, Luke! It's okay, I was wrong. Do you want to have lunch too?”"That's right, I thought I would just have lunch alone, but it turns out you will be my lunch companion."The elevator door dinged loudly and then opened. The two of them got
Karin looked at Ryan's mother calmly, even though her heart was boiling. "I don't mean to patronize the ma'am, I also intended it for myself, so that I can make peace and accept what has happened."Ryan's mother's breath caught, but her anger did not subside when she heard Karin's explanation. “So you mean I'm willing to forgive your mother and accept you as my son's lover? Is that what you want? You are so delicious!"Karin held back the curse in her heart, it was not easy to face Ryan's mother who was stubborn and didn't want to accept explanations from other people. "You are very wrong, Ma'am if you think that Mr. Ryan and I have a special relationship. Between us, there is only a professional relationship between secretary and boss."Ryan's mother pursed her lips at Karin, she didn't believe what Ryan's secretary said at all.Ryan, who had been silent until now, finally chimed in, because he didn't want the debate between his mother and his secretary to continue. “Never mind, ma'a
Ryan looked at his mother calmly. "I have repeatedly reminded you, mother, to knock on the door first, before entering my room and stop being angry, mother!"Ryan's mother walked closer to Karin and unexpectedly threw a punch at the girl's face, causing a sharp face.Karin held her cheek which was throbbing with pain because of Ryan's mother's slap. She looked at the woman with hurt and angry eyes. However, she held back her tongue from saying harsh words to the woman who was her boss's mother."Sorry Ma'am, I don't know about my mother's past problems with your husband. It's not my fault and you have no right to impose on me what I know nothing about." Karin stood up from her seat, feeling intimidated by Ryan's mother who was standing right next to her.“I don't need an explanation from you! Your stepfather himself said it to me and he also said, it was because of you that he failed to collaborate with Ryan's company! Are you trying to destroy the company Ryan leads just like your mo
Ryan glanced at Karin briefly, then looked straight ahead again. "You were silent earlier, why are you objecting now?" “Because I don't feel the need to argue with you in front of other people. I can do it, when it's just the two of us, like this. I'm just your secretary!" “Hmm, I see!” Ryan answered briefly with his gaze straight ahead. Ryan's attitude turned stiff and made Karin nervous. She was afraid that Ryan would be angry because she refused to become her boss's girlfriend. The car driven by Ryan's driver had not yet stopped completely. Karin's hand had reached out to open the door knob to open it. However, before Karin managed to open the door, her hand was covered by Ryan's big hand. "You haven't said good night and thank me, Karin." Suddenly Karin turned her face towards Ryan and that's when her eyes immediately met Ryan's black eyes which hypnotized her. Without realizing it, Karin's lips op
"Hah! What does Mr Ryan mean by saying that?" Karin's hand movements while feeding her food stopped. Her eyes stared into Ryan's black eyes, looking to see if the man was joking or serious. However, Ryan just kept quiet, he continued to eat nonchalantly. It doesn't matter if what he just said made Karin wonder. In the end, Karin could only hold back her irritation. After eating, the two of them sat on the chairs near the swimming pool. There was no conversation between the two of them. Karin glanced at Ryan who was lying comfortably. She couldn't see clearly whether Ryan was asleep or just lying down, like her. "What time do we leave this place tomorrow, sir?" "Hmm" was the only short answer Ryan gave. Feeling annoyed, Karin got up from her seat. “I don't know what happened to you, that it changed like this. I'd rather just go into the room than sit with you, only to be ignored!" Ryan opened his eyes a
Karin, who previously felt sad, became angry when she heard what Ryan said. She quickly took the towel from the man's hand and pushed him out of the bathroom.“I will do it myself!”Ryan didn't get angry at all, instead, he smiled, reaching out his hand to stroke Karin's cheek. "I prefer to see you looking angry like this compared to Karin who feels sad. That's not you at all!”He then left Karin's room and went to his room. When he arrived at his room, Ryan immediately took off his wet shirt and trousers. A few moments later, wearing shorts and bare chested he came out of his room.For a moment, Ryan stopped in front of Karin's bedroom door, then he continued walking down the stairs. Arriving downstairs, Ryan headed towards the side door of the cottage.Open the door which leads directly to the swimming pool. Ryan casually went to the swimming pool, then sat on the edge of the pool, with his legs sticking out into the pool water.His eyes looked up as if a magnet was pulling him to l
Karin immediately got up from her seat, who knows where she got the strength from, so she was able to push Bob until he hit the wall, then she slapped the man hard in the face, even though her hand also felt pain from her action.“You are the most selfish and bastard man I have ever known! I am lucky to be free from you, as is my mother and I hope that now my mother can calm down because she no longer needs to suffer because of your actions!" Karin turned around and ran out of the place.Ryan straightened his body, then walked over to Bob. “I think our cooperation is off! I can't possibly work with a bad guy like you!"Bob rubbed his cheek and looked at Ryan with a cynical smile on his lips. “You fell in love with a woman who could have been your real sister. Did you know, that before Karin's mother became my mistress, she was already in a relationship with your father!"Ryan's eyes burned with anger. He won't let himself be easily influenced by Bob. "You are very mistaken if you thin
Ryan was about to turn around, but he heard a voice from behind one of the closed toilet doors. Without further ado, he kicked open the toilet door and he was shocked when he saw Karin whose mouth Bob had covered with his big hand. Suddenly Ryan became angry about it. “What are you doing, Bob?” Ryan walked into the toilet, with a sharp and cold gaze. Bob was surprised, he didn't expect Ryan to follow them to the toilet. “I was just kidding …” Bob's words were cut off by Ryan. “Get your dirty hands off my darling! Our collaboration is canceled! I will not allow my secretary and lover to be abused in front of my eyes." Bob roughly pushed Karin from in front of him, which almost caused her body to fall to the floor. Luckily, Ryan quickly caught Karin. "Hah! You're defending this cheap woman? A woman who uses her body to fascinate you, then she will steal your wealth and ruin your family!" Bob squeaked and spat onto t
