Harvey York pretended as if he did not hear anything.He was just about to leave…“How do I make you interested then?” asked Journi Stanton after raising the exquisite bow before looking at Harvey.“I’ll take any punishment if you win.“But if I win, you’ll be my personal secretary.”“Your personal secretary?Zhuri Vaus chuckled out of rage before Journi even said a word.“Are you insane, Harvey?!“Do you want the princess to be your personal secretary?!“Wake up!“Apologize to Ms. Journi right now!”Zhuri was instantly uptight.Within the organization, Journi was a lady with the highest status.Zhuri had an immense identity as well, but she was nothing compared to Journi.If her future were to be shattered because of Harvey’s pretentious words…She would not hesitate to slam her head to the ground.She felt nothing but regret at this very moment.‘Why would I even approach the damn bastard? It’s all because of Father!‘If I knew that he’d be such an ignoramus, I woul
Harvey York pretended not to realize that people were making fun of him.He would not be interested if Journi Stanton were not Elric’s daughter in the first place.He could not be bothered to talk to Journi if he was not the next chairman.That said…After casually glancing at Journi, Harvey shook his head.“I’m not interested in prize money.“If you want to play, then give me something that I’m interested in.“Be my secretary or my temporary girlfriend if I win.“I’ll only play if you do.“Of course, I’ll wash your house’s toilets for thirty years if I lose!“Well? Are you in?”After hearing Harvey’s playful words, everyone froze before looking at Harvey as if he were the biggest joke in the city.“Are you stupid, you bastard? Why would you say something like that?“You want Ms. Journi to be your temporary girlfriend? Wake up!“You don’t know, do you? Emery Wright is also pursuing Ms. Journi! You won’t have a place in the damn country if he catches wind about this!“Wha
Everyone, including Journi Stanton, was so shocked that their jaws dropped. They were rendered speechless at that very moment.They all sluggishly stared at the bullseye in disbelief.‘How much time did he even use?’‘A minute…?’‘No! Not even!’‘The country bumpkin already won the moment he made a deal with Journi!’‘More importantly, Journi was the one who set the rules!’‘This is true strength!’Journi quickly regained her composure when her eyes lit up while looking at Harvey York.She naturally knew Harvey was randomly chosen to be the next chairman.In the eyes of the higher-ups, Harvey was nothing more than a joke.That was why Journi wanted to test him.But then, the simple bet was already enough for her to figure something out.Harvey was merely playing dumb!Not just the crowd…Even the higher-ups had underestimated the new chairman!Journi was speechless. She did not even have a fighting chance.She had already lost from the start.“So, you’re giving up alr
‘What did he just say?’‘Little princess?’‘How dare you call Ms. Journi that?!’Everyone was on the verge of lashing out after hearing those words.They thought Harvey York was completely shameless even to call Journi Stanton with such a cute nickname.“The match counts.”Journi seemed a little resentful.“I started the bet, and I also made the conditions. I’ll admit defeat.“From now on, I’m your temporary girlfriend.“That said, this isn’t forever.“We can go shopping and watch movies together…“But, if you want us to go further, you must be my actual boyfriend first.“Otherwise, you won’t even get a chance!”Journi tried to stay strong, but her words could not properly reflect that.She already agreed to go shopping and watch movies with Harvey.It would not take long for them to deepen their relationship either.Maybe then…Journi’s face turned bright red.She had countless pursuers, but never an actual boyfriend.And yet she got her temporary boyfriend through
Without a second thought, Kartier Failes’ eyes burned brightly.He held his rage back as he raised his glass while giving looks to the people around him.“This is the first time Ms. Journi’s ever had a boyfriend!“This means that Harvey’s our prince!“Come! Let’s have a toast for the prince!“We’re not leaving this place till we get drunk!”The others did not understand why Kartier had such a huge change in attitude, but they all followed suit and had a toast with Harvey anyway.Harvey showed a calm gaze without saying a word. Journi went to Harvey’s side while smiling faintly.“Looks like it won’t be easy being my boyfriend…” she said while leaning beside Harvey’s ear.“I’m sure they’ll get you drunk enough so they can make a fool out of you…”Harvey looked at the woman beside him, who was showing an odd smile.“My dear…“Aren’t you scared of something happening between us if I use that as an excuse?”“You…“You’re shameless!”Journi’s face turned bright red.“Quick! D
Harvey York spoke with a sheepish expression, "It's you, Journi."Isn't this wrong, though?"While we're a couple, we've only known each other for a day, but you're already spending the night with me."Will you be responsible for me?"I'm a decent man, after all!"The woman on the bed cursed Harvey countless times in her mind, looking at how Harvey presented himself.However, she still forced a faint smile and said, "Stop being such a smartass."Go and wash up."I'll wait for you."Harvey made a grin and stumbled into the bathroom. His head swayed as if he really had gotten drunk.The woman on the bed immediately jumped up. She did not give Harvey any chance to react and quickly undressed him proficiently.She even handed the showerhead to Harvey, signaling him to take a shower.Harvey had already fallen on the tiles, looking like a drunkard before he was even halfway drunk.When the woman wearing the nightgown saw what had happened, she snickered. Suddenly, she turned on
When Cason Lee's words reached everyone present, they all realized what he was talking about with strange expressions on their faces."Don't tell me… It's the head of our group…""Darn it. Does he really think he can do anything he wants because he just received the title of chairman?""Quick… Bring him out here!""He's really tarnishing the entire Commercial Group's reputation."The guests staying on the same floor were all attracted by the uproar.Some of the men and women who were originally going to share some intimate time in their drunkenness all peeped from the door gap.Journi Stanton also came out of her room after hearing the commotion. After learning everything that had happened, her expression turned stern, and she slowly said, "I believe we shouldn't make any claims before there's any evidence."While Journi had never acknowledged Harvey as her so-called boyfriend, she didn't want them to condemn Harvey for such a crime out of their own imagination."Princess Jour
When Kartier Failes saw Frank Zummo's arrival, he sternly spoke to the security captain, "You came here just in time, Captain Frank."Something terrible happened here tonight."Someone wanted to force himself on Ms. Kennedy. You must see justice is done for her sake.""What?" The shocked expression on Frank's face was obviously faked.Then, his expression turned grim as he stared at the door and said, "Come out here right now. Otherwise, if my men enter, I cannot guarantee your safety."Cason Lee approached Frank and whispered, "Captain Frank, Harvey's the one who wanted to force himself on Ms. Kennedy.""It's him?" Frank instantly revealed a cold smile when he heard the name.He cracked his neck and his knuckles as he approached the entrance. "Darn bastard. I could tell you weren't a good person the first second I saw you."I thought you were just a freeloader or maybe a thief."I didn't expect you to be so bold."Get out of there right now. Break your own hands and apologiz
