“Hah, damn it! She's back again!" cursed Reynard, seeing Tasha stepping out of the elevator in a scantily clad outfit. He couldn’t quite figure out what kind of clothing she was wearing.“Where's Arion? Has he checked in yet?” Felix asked, busy tracking something on his laptop.“No word yet,” Reynard replied shortly.Felix didn't care about Tasha's arrival. His indifferent attitude meant he didn't care if people disliked him, especially if they weren't connected to him in any meaningful way.“Rey, Felix, has my darling arrived?” Tasha asked, now standing in front of Reynard.Felix, hearing this, immediately excused himself. “Rey, I’m heading to the restroom for a bit.”“I’m coming too, Fel! Suddenly feeling queasy!” Eleanor chimed in, chasing after Felix.That left Reynard alone. “Damn it! They left me! They say they care, but they run away!” he grumbled, watching Eleanor and Felix disappear around the corner of the office corridor.“Arion probably won't be coming in. He's still busy!
Emily reluctantly entered Arion’s pavilion, still seething from the previous day's events. She felt as if she had been cheated on right before her eyes.However, she had to put her feelings aside and focus on her work. Arriving an hour earlier than usual, she hoped to avoid any interaction with Arion.Emily knew Arion’s schedule by heart. He usually woke up after six in the morning and started his day. She moved quickly, preparing breakfast in the kitchen. After finishing, she placed the food on a tray and carefully carried it into Arion’s bedroom. Opening the door quietly, she sighed in relief seeing him still asleep. “Phew! Thank goodness he’s still asleep,” she whispered.She tiptoed around the room, not wanting to wake him. The last thing she wanted was to have a conversation with him right now.Emily placed the breakfast tray on the table near the bed—a sandwich and a warm glass of milk. After that, she headed to the wardrobe room to prepare Arion’s clothes for the day, as she us
Arion placed a gentle kiss on Emily’s cheek. “I’m going to shower, okay?”Emily nodded, giving her silent assent.A while later, Arion emerged from the shower, only to find that Emily was no longer where he had left her. He sighed, heading towards his wardrobe to dress.Once he was dressed, he walked out of the bedroom, spotting Emily busy with an iPad on the second floor. He descended the main staircase.“Why did you leave the room?” Arion asked.“Just my usual routine,” Emily replied calmly, organizing her things and packing them into her bag.“Have you had breakfast?” she asked, noticing Arion had come out of his room unusually early.“Hm,” Arion responded softly.Emily stood up and walked to the main door, opening it. “Shall we?” she said formally.Arion exhaled harshly, disliking her formal demeanor.As they stepped outside, they encountered Bella and Austin taking their usual morning stroll in the garden.“Aunty, Uncle,” Emily greeted politely.“Hey, dear,” Bella replied with he
**And here they were now, having breakfast in a chaotic mood for both Emily and Arion.**Arion suppressed his jealousy seeing Reynard and Emily together, just as Emily felt a surge of anger watching Tasha touch Arion. The same feeling applied to Reynard and Felix, who were both annoyed by Tasha's flirtatious behavior towards Arion."I'm full, I'm going inside first," Emily said, unable to bear it any longer."Me too!" Felix chimed in.Reynard glanced at Emily, "Alright, let's go. I'm full too."The three of them stood up from their seats. "I'm going first," Felix said."Me too," Reynard added.Emily, too tired to engage in small talk, walked ahead without a word.Several hours passed, and Arion and Emily had just finished their meeting. "To my office—""Arion," Felix interrupted, catching Arion's attention."What is it?""Reynard and I are waiting for you upstairs," Felix said, and Arion understood the implication."Okay! Give me ten minutes, I'll be there.""Alright!" Felix said, hea
“Damn! Why didn't we ever think of that project?” Arion muttered.Felix and Reynard nodded in agreement.“Because honestly, what you're facing seemed like a trivial love matter, like a woman obsessed with a man, willing to do anything,” Felix explained.Reynard stood up and said, “Wait, I'll get the project files from Emily.”Arion turned and stopped Reynard, “Later, Rey. Show me the photos and videos you got.”“Alright!” Reynard sat back down, focusing on the monitor in front of him.Arion breathed a sigh of relief, but tried to act casual. There was no way he would let anyone disturb Emily's rest right now.Felix noticed Arion's behavior and smiled slightly.An hour passed, and the three men had reviewed all they could investigate. The CCTV footage revealed only a few pieces of evidence, but the video was too blurry.They needed something bigger to figure out what they were dealing with, especially Arion.“Rey, schedule something for Tasha,” Arion said, stretching his arms.“A sched
“Hi, Emily,” Raul greeted as he approached Arion and Emily.“Good evening, Mr. Raul,” Emily replied formally.Raul frowned, “Why so formal, Emily? We're friends, aren't we?”“Oh... It's just—”“What brings you to the office at this hour?” Arion interrupted, standing in front of Emily to shield her with his body.“I was just passing by and asked the security if you were still here. Lucky for me, you were. I wanted to invite you to the club,” Raul said with a smile. “How about Emily joining us too?”Arion remained calm. Besides Reynard and Felix, Raul was quite close to him.“I'm afraid not, bro. I still have work to finish after this,” Arion replied, turning to Emily. “Right, Emily?” he asked, winking at her out of Raul's sight.“That's right, Mr. Raul. I'm sorry,” Emily quickly picked up on Arion's signal.Raul sighed, “Ah, is that so? Well, another time then. But don’t refuse next time.”“Of course.”“Oh, by the way, congratulations, bro!”Arion raised an eyebrow, “Congratulations?”
The next morning, Arion and Emily headed to Orion Corporation together. “Darling, Emily?” Arion called Emily softly, his eyes focused on the road ahead.“Yes?”“Don’t reply to any messages from anyone,”“Hm? How am I supposed to work if I don’t reply to incoming messages?” Emily replied calmly, looking confused at Arion.Arion sighed, realizing she was right. She handled all administrative matters, so how could she not reply to messages? It was his mistake not to clarify his request in detail.“Anything except on your personal number, darling,” Arion added.“Oh...”“Today, Reynard, Felix, and I will visit the Triple R construction project, but I’ll try to be back before lunch.”“Really? Was there a schedule for that?” Emily immediately opened her iPad to check Arion’s schedule.“It came up suddenly,”“Then what about the 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. meetings?” Emily asked.Arion raised one hand and grabbed Emily’s, which was busy scrolling through the iPad.Kiss!“After the meetings, there’s fre
Upon hearing Emily's name mentioned, Arion turned and saw her standing behind him, having just emerged from the restroom. "Did she see it?" he wondered anxiously."I hope not," he thought, his nerves on edge.Emily walked past Arion with a serene expression, but she avoided looking in his direction."Emily, to my office!" Arion commanded."Alright," Emily replied calmly."Rey! Thanks!" Arion called out, giving a thumbs-up."No problem, Boss!"Arion then entered his office with Emily. Once the door closed, he immediately hugged her from behind. "Darling...""Hmm?""Please don't be mad..." Arion murmured against the back of Emily's neck.Emily let out a quiet sigh, "We'll talk about it later. We should go upstairs for the meeting."Smooch!Arion stole a kiss on the corner of Emily's lips. However, Emily's eyes flashed with sharpness.She walked over to the desk, grabbed a tissue, and then returned to Arion. "At least clean off your girlfriend's lipstick!" she snapped, wiping the lipstic
