“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 at the woman he had just decided on. “My driver will take you to your destination. And one more thing, you don't need to be afraid that I will take back all the gifts I ever gave you!"
“Should I thank you for your generosity?” Ryan's ex-girlfriend snapped.
He opened the car door and he got out of the car ignoring the screams from his ex-girlfriend, whom he broke up with suddenly.
He walked back to the place where he had seen Karin walking alone. The distance his car had traveled earlier was not very far, so he could only reach his destination by walking.
His eyes caught the image of Karin, who entered a restaurant, which was not far from his office.
'As I thought, she will go for lunch. Has she made an appointment with someone to have lunch there? No! That can't happen. I won't let Karin get close to a man other than me!' thought Ryan
Enter the same restaurant that Karin just entered. Ryan stopped at the edge of the restaurant trying to find Karin.
When he managed to find the girl's whereabouts, Ryan immediately approached Karin's table and joined her in sitting at Karin's table.
Karin, who was eating her lunch, was surprised when she saw Ryan's presence. She didn't want to continue eating because she didn't want to be seen as rude to her boss.
“Sir, Ryan! Why are you here? Weren't you in the car earlier?" Karin asked curiously.
Ryan stared intently at Karin, with a look in his eyes that made her nervous. I just want to congratulate you, because you have given my lover a reason to be angry and provoke me, to break up with him."
Suddenly Karin was shocked, her mouth opened and she stared in disbelief at Ryan. "Hah! Why did you bring up my name, as the cause of the breakup of your relationship with your lover?"
Ryan's gaze fell on Karin's red lips, which opened and closed. Those lips were so tempting, he wanted to taste them again. Ryan's hand reached out to Karin's lips and wiped the melted sauce, which was spilled on Karin's lips.
As if enchanted by what Ryan was doing to her lips, Karin's lips automatically opened and she accidentally licked Ryan's finger, which had traces of melted sauce on it.
The two of them stared at each other as if there was a magic power hypnotizing them. Karin was the first to realize that she lowered her face because she couldn't see Ryan's eyes.
Seeing Karin lower her face made Ryan laugh softly. He said in a low voice so that only Karin could hear what he said.
"Are you afraid or embarrassed about me, Karin? Or were you affected by the incident just now? Tell me, are you still a virgin, Karin?” Ryan gave Karin a sharp and probing gaze.
Karin raised her head, her face flushed red. "I don't mean to be rude. It's just that I won't answer your question!"
Ryan took Karin's fingers into his and again she felt a vibration, like an electric current.
“Are you challenging me to find out the truth for myself? I gladly accepted it, because I am not a coward who will run away when given a challenge." Ryan whispered teasingly to Karin.
Ryan flashed a rare, thin smile to tease Karin. He liked seeing the look on Karin's face, which turned red and her eyes stared at him in disbelief.
The conversation between the two was interrupted when a waiter came with a menu in his hand and handed it to Ryan. Ryan accepted it for a few short moments he read the menu carefully.
The waiter then left in front of them, after taking Ryan's order.
“Tell me, Karin! Did you come out of the office on purpose, still wearing my shirt, like that? Is it to announce to people, especially those who work at my company and know me?” Ryan asked.
"Hah! What do you mean by saying that?"
Ryan smiled a sarcastic smile, "I don't need to explain anything, you will hear later, if rumors are circulating that's where my words are proven."
Karin's shoulders slumped, she worked to earn money, to fulfill her living needs and not to become the subject of gossip. Even more so with the CEO where she works.
She has had enough experience, which has become an example in her life. And she was determined to make this a real example, as a reminder for her, not to do the same thing.
“I never thought I would become the subject of gossip, sir! You shouldn't follow me to eat at this restaurant either. "This will only add to their gossip," said Karin weakly.
Ryan spun the glass of water in his hand. "Did you know that your position is only as a secretary who is still in the apprenticeship stage? I'm not sure I'll make you my permanent secretary!”
Excited! Karin's heart was shocked to hear what Ryan said. "What do you mean by saying that? Do you still doubt my abilities?"
"When you say that, it makes me even more enthusiastic, to prove that I will be successful as your secretary!" Karin's face showed strong determination.
Ryan was just about to open his mouth to answer Karin's words. The waiter came to deliver the order. After the waiter left, Ryan ate his lunch deliciously.
No conversation occurred while the two of them were eating. It seems that Ryan is not the type of person who eats while talking. A few minutes later the two of them finished eating their lunch.
Ryan put his spoon on the plate and looked at Karin gently and seductively. “I have an offer for you!”
Karin looked at Ryan suspiciously, in her heart wondering what the man was offering, hopeful it wasn't something she wouldn't be able to accept.
"Is the offer related to work, sir?"
Ryan nodded. "Of course! Since you have made me decide on my lover, you must attend together with me as a couple at the party, which will be held by the company at the end of the month. I don't accept a word of rejection from you!”
“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
Karin was suddenly surprised by Ryan's question, "Are you spying on me? Why did you accept me as secretary, if you doubt who I am?" Karin asked back.Ryan pulled Karin close to him. "You've certainly heard the term. It is better to watch your enemy closely until we know what steps he will take.”Karin jerked Ryan's hand on her shoulder. "Then you consider me an enemy?"“You diverted my question, by asking a question! You are indeed smart Karin, unfortunately I won't be fooled. Just answer my question!”By holding back harsh curses, which had never escaped her lips. Karin said, "My family is none of your business! Why aren't their portraits on the walls of my apartment? Because I remember them in my heart and my head. Not through a picture in a frame!”Hearing Karin's answer, Ryan smiled crookedly. "A smart and diplomatic answer, to hide a fact about family relationships.""Now you have heard my answer. Please get out of my apartment!" said Karin.“How dare you chase me away! My other
Suddenly Karin was shocked and afraid. She was like a trapped rabbit and didn't know how to get out to save himself. "Why did you lock the door?"Karin got up from her seat and walked towards the door. “Please open the door right now, sir! I will report you if you dare touch me!"Ryan wore a crooked smile while throwing around and catching the keys in his hand. “Did I forbid you from leaving my room? No, right? Just go ahead and I won't stop you!"Karin's hands were clenched tightly on both sides of her body. She was really afraid that she would experience what was her childhood trauma. And this is what makes her reluctant to have special relationships with man.Even at the age of 22 years. She has never had a serious romantic relationship with any man."You didn't directly forbid me from leaving this room. However, by indirectly locking this door, you are forbidding me from going out!" Karin said in a high tone because she was emotional.Ryan casually walked away from the door and wa
Karin looked at Ryan in confusion, she didn't understand what her boss meant, who suddenly asked her to do a DNA test.She jerked Ryan's hand, which was holding her arm. "What do you mean, we will do a DNA test? Why do we need to do that? Do you believe what your mother just said?" Karin asked.Ryan glared at Karin. “We have to do it because I don't want there to be any doubt. When we make love, there is no mistake, if I fuck my sister.”Karin's eyes widened and she couldn't believe that Ryan was affected by what his mother had said.“How could you be so stupid, like that! There's no way we're brothers! And I also don't want to have a brother like you!" Karin emphasized."Hah! You, think I want to have a sister like you? Of course I don't want to, because it's certain that you will be my little brother. I won't be able to make love to you!” Ryan said.Ryan was so annoyed with Ryan's stubborn attitude that he always thought about making love to her. Karin stamped her feet and said, "Ok
Karin stared in surprise at Luke, who had the idea that She and Ryan had a special relationship.“You've got to be kidding me! There's no way Mr. Ryan is jealous of me. "Mr Ryan just doesn't like seeing me close to other people, because he's afraid I'll be careless about my work," said Karin.Luke just laughed a little, but he didn't want to deny what Karin said. 'What will Ryan do if I flirt with this woman? "Surely he will get angry and furious," thought Luke.He and Karin walked hand in hand towards Karin's desk, while Luke continued into Ryan's office.He knocked on Ryan's office door and was invited in. He entered Ryan's office and sat in front of his boss's desk.“Your secretary is beautiful and sexy, why have I just seen her? Are you hiding it, Ryan?” Luke asked.Ryan looked up from his computer screen. "If you only came to discuss my secretary, please get out of my room!"Luke's laughter was loud. “Okay, Luke! I will ask him directly where he lives. Is he still single or does
"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
