Ryan walked over to turn on the light, even though he thought he heard Karin's voice, but after seeing directly that it was Karin who was in his apartment, he was surprised. “Karin! Why are you here?” Ryan asked in surprise. Karin's eyes glanced at the woman on the floor, she could see how her hair was messy. Even the clothes he wore were wide open at the chest, Ryan, who saw Karin's gaze, became nervous and confused, but he quickly managed to control himself. He looked at Karin coldly and seemed to invite Karin to give her opinion as she pleased. Karin stood up from her seat and met Ryan's black eyes. He didn't hide the hurt look in his eyes. He even let tears well up in his eyes. "It turns out you were just pretending to say you love me! You accused me of playing behind your back even though you were the one who did it. I should have guessed that it would be impossible for a playboy like you to be loyal. Espec
"Thank You!" Ryan then turned around and left Karin's apartment. With fast steps and a gaze that seemed ready to kill anyone who got in his way. As soon as she was outside Karin's apartment building, he saw her private car parked on the sidewalk. He had called his private driver to pick him up. Ryan got into his car he ordered the driver to go to Luke's apartment. 'Just watch out, if I find Karin there!' thought Ryan. Not long after, Ryan was standing in front of Luke's apartment door. Impatiently, he rang the doorbell to Luke's apartment repeatedly. The door was opened by Luke who looked like he had just woken up. "Want to..." Before Luke had time to finish his words, Ryan immediately slapped him in the face. "Where did you hide Karin, Luke?" Luke, who didn't accept being hit by Ryan, immediately retaliated. He grabbed Ryan by the collar of his jacket and then threw a hard punch at Ryan's fac
"Where are we going? This is not the direction to my apartment!” Karin panicked a little because she was afraid that the older brother, she had just met would do something bad. Derek, who was driving, glanced at Karin briefly, before returning his focus to looking at the road. "Don't you want to get to know me?" Karin looked at Derek and saw that she had the same father as him. Her older brother's face resembled him. “I'm not very curious about who you are. I know, you must hate me and my mother, but I don't care. Let's just mind our own lives, pretend we've never met!" Derek laughed at what Karin said. “I will not harm you! Our father has fallen in love with you and he asked me firmly to look after you!" Karin snorted in displeasure, her lips pursed. “I don't need a guard! I can take care of myself.” “The way you take care of yourself is great.” Derek quipped, giving a mocking smile. The car driven by Derek stopp
Suddenly Karin was shocked and froze where she sat. She didn't expect at all that Ryan would be in the same place as her. "Why are you silent, Karin?" Ryan approached Karin's chair and then stood right behind her. It was Derek who spoke up. "Who are you? What do you mean by scolding Karin?" Ryan shifted his gaze from Karin to Derek who was standing not far from him. The two stared at each other sharply as if ready to fight. "Who are you? And what is your relationship with Karin?" Ryan asked fiercely. Derek had a sinister smile on his lips. "What do you think we are related to?" As if to make Ryan even more emotional. Ryan's hands were clenched at his sides. His anger was ready to explode after he didn't get enough sleep and wasn't calm because he was worried about Karin's condition. And now that he saw the situation she was fine with being with an arrogant man. What made him even more emot
Ryan had just sat down in his office when his office door was opened roughly. And the man who had been fighting with him entered. "Who invited you into my room?" Ryan asked fiercely. “Why do I have to ask permission to meet the man my sister is dating? I just want to say, that from now on Karin is not alone, she has me as her half-brother! "You can't just hurt or play with Karin's feelings." Ryan's voice broke into laughter when he heard what Derek said. “Where have you been all this time, bro? Karin can take care of herself. She doesn't need a strange man claiming to be her brother and pretending to be a hero oversleep!” Derek hit Ryan's desk. "I've just appeared in Karin's life, but that's not a problem at all!" Ryan looked at Derek sarcastically. "I've given you time to say what you mean by coming. Now get out, I have work to attend to!” Derek got up from his seat with a sharp look in his eyes and said,
"Why are you only now picking up my phone?" Ryan asked fiercely, over the telephone. Karin, who had just woken up from her sleep on Ryan's soft sofa, was suddenly shocked by Ryan's high-pitched voice. Just put the cell phone away from your ear. She rubbed her sleepy eyes because she had just woken up. When she looked at her cell phone there were many missed calls from Ryan which is why she immediately called the man. She quickly called Ryan, thinking that there was something important so she called him repeatedly. However, when she called, he got angry. "Why are you silent?" Ryan asked again, after not hearing a reply from Karin for a while. “I fell asleep earlier and just woke up from sleep. Why did you call me earlier?" said Karin. Ryan looked at his cellphone screen, smiling when he heard that Karin had just woken up. “It's good that you're asleep because tonight you won't be able to sleep. We will mak
“You are too much! Thinking about something that hasn't happened yet. You don't believe that I can and will protect and look after you!" Ryan's voice was sharp. He then stood up and moved away from where Karin was sitting. “You don't understand, Ryan! My mother once trusted someone so much, but she was let down! I don't want what happened to my mother to happen to me. When he gave up her heart and body, she was abandoned!" Ryan turned around from looking at the street, through the glass window of his living room. He stared at Karin sharply and his expression turned cold and unreadable. “Do you mean to blame my father? Isn't that your mother's fault, because she fell in love with a married man, like my father? And she should have realized that what she was doing would get her into trouble!" Karin quickly got up from her seat and went over to Ryan. She hit Ryan's chest with her tiny fist. “How dare you blame my mother al
"Hah! What do you mean by saying that, Luke? Are you jealous? Don't make me think anything wrong!" Ryan squinted at Luke. Luke gave Ryan an annoyed look. "Good grief! Do you think I'm jealous because I like you? I just felt that since Karin became your secretary and lover. You are increasingly forgetting that I am your right hand. You should invite me because maybe I can help solve the problems that occur in the field!" Hearing Luke's explanation, Ryan nodded in understanding. "Precisely because you are my confidant, even though you have disappointed me. So I entrusted the company's operations to your hands while I was away." There was a knock on Ryan's office door and not long after, Karin came in and approached him. "I have ordered the plane tickets, sir, and we will leave in an hour. "I have also changed several of your meeting schedules, for uncertain times." Karin opened the small notebook in her hand. Luke got
"Hmm, is it true what you said, Karin?" Ryan squinted at Karin, he was about to prove Karin's words, but his eyes accidentally looked in the rearview mirror and saw his private driver glancing through the rearview mirror. Ryan glared at his private driver, so he immediately looked back at the road. Meanwhile, Ryan himself chose to divert his attention by opening his cell phone. Not long after, the car stopped right in front of the company door. After the car door was opened, Ryan and Karin got out and entered the company building together. News about the two of them being together apparently also spread throughout his company. And when the two of them were about to enter the elevator they met Luke, who winked at Karin, making Karin smile when she saw him. “What are you doing standing there?” Ryan scolded Luke coldly who was standing in front of the elevator. Luke frowned looking at Ryan in surprise. He couldn't stop
“You certainly know my fear, but I didn't see you running or walking towards me! You stood silently next to the woman who was your first love. And I don't know if you still have feelings for her." Karin looked at Ryan with a hurt look because of the man's rude attitude. Ryan was silent for a moment, then walked back towards Karin. “I don't have any feelings for Maurie anymore! And instead of just keeping quiet, you would have heard me calling your name, but instead, you ignored my call and got into the car of a man you just met!" Karin pushed Ryan's chest with her fist. “You're just trying to justify yourself and blame me! You s...” The sentence Karin was about to say was cut off by Ryan's kiss. And the man only stopped the kiss when he heard Karin's rapid breathing as well as his own. “What are you trying to show by kissing me, like that?” Karin asked fiercely. Ryan looked coldly at Karin and said, "Of course to prov
“How considerate of you! "Okay, I'll face them all and show them that I'm not at all bothered by what they're asking!" Karin waved her hand to give Derek a signal to leave her room. Derek casually left Karin's room. He wasn't afraid that Karin would run away from where she was currently. While Karin was sleeping, he deliberately took cash, credit cards and an ATM from the bag Karin was carrying. Elsewhere a few hours earlier. With long and hasty steps, Ryan headed towards the room he shared with Karin. However, when he found out that the door to the room was locked, Ryan quickly headed for the elevator to catch up with Karin, who he thought had gone out for lunch. His steps stopped when he saw Karin facing journalists. Anxiety about Karin's emotional state made him speed up his steps. However, Maurie grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop. Unfortunately, that's when his eyes met Karin's eyes, even though they
"Are you now afraid and regret coming with me?" Asked a voice that Karin was starting to recognize. Karin turned her gaze towards the voice in the shadows. She saw that the form that had previously been just a shadow changed into the form of Derek, who was walking closer to her. Derek stopped at the end of the bed Karin was sleeping on. “What's on your mind now? Are you going to run away from here? I won't let you go alone!" Karin lifted the blanket covering her body, then got out of bed and walked over to Derek. "I was sorry at first, but after hearing what you said just now, I'm not afraid anymore, because I know you care about me, so there's no way you would consciously hurt me!" There was a loud sound of applause from Derek. “Wow! You make me feel honored little Sister! I give you one piece of advice, never trust humans, you never know what someone will do to get what they want!" Karin expressed her gratitude for
Karin steeled herself to stare at the reporter coldly. She remembered her mother's pained face, so she wouldn't cry. “It feels the same as other people who are in love. That is if you have ever felt in love!" Not wanting to stay there any longer, Karin half-ran away from the journalists towards the sidewalk. Karin faintly heard Ryan's voice calling her name, but she was reluctant to stop her steps. Karin almost screamed when she felt a tug on her arm, but once she knew who it was, she remained silent and got into the car of the man pulling her. Once the two of them were sitting comfortably in the car. Karin looked at Derek with a frown. "Why are you in this city too?" Derek glanced at Karin, smiling sarcastically. “Did you think I was following you? Just like when I helped you when you were drunk. And this time I'm back to help you! Looks like you're going to owe me more and more." Karin leaned her head on
Karin reflexively raised her hand in front of her face which had turned pale. Ryan looked at the gathered reporters coldly. His hand gripped Karin's fingers which were already cold as ice. The woman was so scared just by seeing the flash of the camera light. “Good morning, Mr Ryan, give us a moment to ask you a question?” said one of the journalists. Ryan whispered in Karin's ear. “Get in first into the company car that is waiting for us. I will face this interview first.” Without being asked twice, Karin immediately left Ryan's side and headed for a car not far from where they were. She couldn't help but let them take pictures of her. As soon as she sat in the car, Karin breathed a sigh of relief. Through the window, she saw how Ryan faced them all calmly. Meanwhile, Karin sat comfortably and protected in the car. Ryan answered several questions from journalists about what ha
Maurie quickly turned to Ryan. “Why are you so afraid to be close to me? Are you not sure of yourself, that you will not be able to reject what was once between us?" Maurie glanced at Karin, who was just listening. "Karin, did you know that Ryan and I used to be lovers? We are so well known in this city and the news of our breakup became news because Ryan was heartbroken and immediately left this city!" “Shut your mouth, Maurie! I respect you because you are an intelligent woman and also the leader of my company branch, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!" Ryan stood up from his seat, then he invited Karin along. The two of them then left the restaurant, with curious looks from the restaurant visitors. However, Ryan didn't care that he was too angry because of Maurie's actions. Once outside, Ryan took off the jacket he was wearing, and then put it on Karin's body. They went home in silence, no one started a co
The woman who was once Ryan's lover got up from her seat. She walked gracefully towards Ryan and Karin who were dancing. “Good evening, sorry to bother you guys, can I dance with you, Ryan?” asked the woman named Maurie. Ryan glared at Maurie, who had rudely interrupted his dance with Karin. However, he also couldn't possibly be rude, by refusing Maurie's invitation to dance. Seeing Ryan who was in a dilemma with a smile on her face. Karin said, “Dance! I will wait for you at our table.” Karin walked off the dance floor gracefully towards the table she and Ryan had previously occupied. 'Is that woman following us? Does she want to force herself to have a relationship with Ryan again? Can I believe that Ryan will not be tempted by the presence of this woman whose appearance is so seductive?' Karin thought. Don't want to see the intimacy between Ryan and that woman, even if it's just dancing. Karin p
"Don't worry, I know a great way to keep you in bed all night. I have prepared sleeping pills that will make you unable to move.” Karin looked at Ryan with a sullen face. Instead of being angry at what Karin said, Ryan laughed loudly. “You do have a smart answer.” Not long after, the car they were riding in stopped in front of a five-star hotel. The two of them immediately got out of the car and entered the building. When they arrived at the hotel room, Karin went straight into the bathroom, while Ryan sat on the bed, opening his cell phone. He checked messages and emails from Luke. There was nothing important about Luke's report, everything went well. He sent a reply to Luke, saying that he wouldn't be back until two days later. He will carry out some coordination regarding the reconstruction of the burned building. He had just put his cell phone on the nightstand. He saw Karin come out of the bathroom wearing only a
