An hour earlier, at the time Tasha said. She came to Arion's office and entered the room when Arion's confidants were not around. Because Tasha was sure, if Arion was surrounded by his friends, she could not move freely.Arion who was sitting in his great chair looked at Tasha with an intimidating gaze who was currently sitting in front of him. "Tell me what you want?" asked Arion, coldly.Tasha smiled sweetly, the woman with blonde hair showing off her cleavage who was currently wearing a very sexy dress. A gold-colored dress with a wide-open cleavage, it wasn't just her cleavage that she was showing off. The dress she wore showed her lower body which was only wearing a lacy triangle.So sexy as the woman sat with her legs crossed, "I want you to be my boyfriend, to be my lover Arion." Tasha replied without embarrassment, in fact she confidently said that.Arion smiled a smirk-mockingly. "Where did your confidence come from!" He actually found it amusing to see Tasha's shamelessness.
"On the condition that all your friends have to know that we are lovers from this moment on? And don't forbid anything I do to make you fall in love with me?" continued Tasha looking up to see Arion's handsome face.Arion was silent, he thought for a moment. "Well, I'll tell Emily about my plan. I'm sure she'll understand." Arion thought. "No problem," Arion replied quietly."Ahhhh... I'm so happy, baby..." Tasha tightened her embrace."And remember, I don't want any of your best friends to know about this! If you break it, I won't hesitate to send this video to your whole family, Arion!" Tasha confidently threatened Arion, winning because she was holding her ace.This was the first time she saw Arion not at all fazed by her threat, "Hahahha, right he said. This guy is such a family man..." Tasha was happy to hear her partner's brilliant idea."Then how about lunch to celebrate our first date today, baby?" murmured Tasha and snuggled into Arion's arm.Arion looked at his watch, "I hop
Arion was unsettled, the man feeling uneasy. He knew that Emily was very disappointed in him at the moment. "Damn!" he cursed to himself. Tasha, who was beside Arion, occasionally glanced at the man. "What's wrong, baby?" Tasha asked softly.The man was silent, he had to finish this game as soon as possible. It was sickening to have to pretend like this. He cursed his stupidity that night, not realizing he had been set up by Tasha. "I think I should call Raul..." she thought."Hmm... I was just looking at the work report." Arion said, flatly.Tasha smiled, then frowned. "As long as you're with me, you should focus on me, Yon..." she said in a spoiled tone and leaned her head on Arion's arm.Arion clenched his jaw, holding back his current flare of anger. "Don't call me that." He said with a tight chest.Tasha looked up, looking at Arion. She could not accept Arion's rejection. "Why, when all your friends call you that. Felix, Reynard and Emily who are your subordinates at the office
Emily arrived home and immediately went to her bedroom, sinking onto the thick carpet and burying her face in her knees. Her heart was shattered, utterly broken. It felt as if she had been soaring through the sky only to be violently hurled to the ground.The beautiful woman took out her phone, staring at a photo of herself and Arion taken in bed after making love. He had kissed her forehead tenderly, whispering sweet words of love that sounded so enchanting to Emily's ears."You fool! Fool! Fool!" Emily cursed herself, searching for the delete button, but her hand wouldn't move. The moments she had shared with Arion were too beautiful, yet also painfully bittersweet. She felt utterly foolish.She could still vividly remember and feel every touch Arion had given her all over her body. The memory of it left her feeling destroyed.Emily quickly stripped off all her clothes, leaving only her underwear. There was only one place where she could drown her feelings. She stepped into the show
Eleanor remained silent, her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at her friend. “Alright, let's get you inside,” she said softly, helping Emily remove her wet clothes and wrapping her in a towel robe.“Em, what happened?” Eleanor asked gently once she had Emily lying down on the bed, covering her with a thick blanket. She sat at the edge of the bed, holding Emily's hand. “Hey, what’s wrong?”“Weren’t you supposed to give me happy news today?” Eleanor continued, and that caused Emily to start crying again, silently.Eleanor took a deep breath. “Oh my! Talk to me, Em…” she urged impatiently. She couldn’t bear seeing Emily like this. “If you don’t say anything, I’ll go straight to Aunty Della and Uncle Ethan and tell them about your condition!” Eleanor threatened, though she knew she wouldn’t really do it. She just wanted Emily to open up to her.“Lea, please…” Emily mumbled weakly, shaking her head.Eleanor stood and walked to the mini fridge in the room, fetching a bottle of water fo
Arion, who was driving, suddenly slammed on the brakes.Screech! Crash!The sound of blaring horns followed from the cars behind him. Arion’s forehead hit the steering wheel, making him wince in pain. He ignored all the honking from the vehicles behind. He was stunned, shaken by what Emily had said.A knock on his car window broke his stupor. He had caused a traffic jam, obstructing the flow of cars.Thud! Arion angrily pounded the steering wheel, but he couldn't bring himself to be mad at Emily, let alone yell at her. Even though he had always been distant and cold towards Emily, he had never raised his voice or cursed at the woman he loved.The man with hazel-blue eyes took a deep breath as Emily called his name. "Alright," he replied curtly, ending the call and removing his earphones. He rolled down the window to speak to the irritated driver outside.Fortunately, only three vehicles were involved in the chaos caused by his heart and mind. Arion handed his business card to the driv
Bip bip bip.Arion opened his phone and read the incoming text message.‘Sir, Miss Emily and Miss Eleanor are heading to the airport.’Arion sighed and replied, ‘Follow them!’‘Yes, Sir.’As he suspected, Emily was with Eleanor. "At least she's not alone," he muttered, massaging his aching forehead.His head throbbed painfully. He glanced at his bed, now made with fresh sheets. The sight of the bloodstains from that morning had made his chest tighten painfully."Fuck!""I miss you so bad—aku sangat merindukanmu, Em!"Arion leaned back and took another swig of the whiskey he was holding. He needed the drink to help him sleep.His mind was consumed with thoughts of Emily. He could see her in his mind’s eye, looking at him with such love the night they were together, but that gaze had turned cold when they met this morning.With a heavy heart, Arion stood and walked to the bed where he had made love to Emily all night long. He could still smell her scent lingering."I must be going mad,"
The next morning, Arion finished his shower and quickly dressed. As he stood in his wardrobe, he realized how dependent he had become on Emily for selecting his clothes. For years, she had meticulously prepared his outfits, both for work and daily wear."Hah!"With reluctant steps, he opened each closet door, searching for something suitable. It wasn’t until he reached the fifth closet that he found a casual outfit.He chose a white sweater and denim jeans. He had plans to meet Reynard and Felix at their ‘basecamp’ to discuss the current situation.“Not bad!” he muttered, glancing at himself in the mirror, not forgetting to wear his watch.With a lighter step, he left his pavilion, feeling a bit more at ease after seeing a photo his subordinate had sent him of Emily smiling broadly."At least you're okay! I promise to resolve this quickly!" he whispered to himself, whistling softly."Kak!!" Iris and Irina called out in unison as they spotted Arion walking in the garden.Arion felt a p
