"This one is nice, but the year 20XX has a similar design like this. So, I don't think we can use it at the summer fest." The first design was rejected, and that made the atmosphere in the surroundings even heavier.

Darius did not even blink when he gave it back to the one who made it.

Darius's aura during the first meeting was far away compared to now, his face was very serious and he was really listening to every detail of the design involved.

His answer was the same as earlier, they received one rejection after another.

Kyler stood up next, this time somehow giving me hope that there would finally be an entry option for design.

Kyler began to show the detailed design until the slide was finished. "this one can be available in different sizes without ruining the beauty of design, so everyone can receive the same quality."

It was obvious that his co-workers were amazed, and even I understood why his design was always chosen in previous years.

Darius cleared his throat which made us l

    "Okay, guys! Keep working, we need to pull more overtime this time!” Everyone was tired, but because Darius had given the signal to try to make a sample of the approved design with different sizes, everyone became even busier.His meetings for the summer fest have been one after the other, every company who joins the summer fest needs to coordinate because it is a big help for the promotion of their product.The only sad thing is that I haven't seen Kyler since they presented the designs they created, and neither do his coworkers know what happened. But even so, Darius acted as if nothing had happened."What are you thinking?" He poked my cheek with his index finger, "Is it Kyler again the one you're worried about because he's not coming in?""Uhm, don't you even think about what might have happened to him? The rejection he received from you, had a big impact on him." I said sadly."I don't know why you are so affected by what happened to him but Lia, don't forget that rejection is a

    Only the sound of spoons and forks hitting the plate made noise at our table, none of the three of us wanted to speak. It's obvious that Darius is not happy with what Craig did but the other one acts like he doesn't know.They are cousins but have different attitudes, well, even siblings have different personalities...“Taste this, Lia.” Finally, someone broke the silence, Craig put on my plate the food he wanted me to taste, "That's delicious, this is made by the owner of this restaurant."“Really?” I answered excitedly, I didn't think there was such a thing."Yes, and this one is made by him as well." He pointed to another food.Darius cleared his throat causing the two of us to look at him, "Are you okay?" I asked shyly and handed him a glass of water.He reached for it and drank, "I'm okay, just don't forget that we have an important meeting later, eat that." He shifted his gaze to Craig, "You too, aren't you needed in your office?""My managers are there, they can do all the work

    Darius' meeting continued, he acted as if nothing had happened. I did the same thing even though the truth was that I was very affected by the words I heard from his mother.His last meeting ended at six o'clock, "damn, I can't even feel my shoulder and butt." He said while stroking his right shoulder. "I feel hungry, let's eat first before I take you home."I was about to answer when I suddenly remembered what his mom said back then inside of his office, I immediately shook my head. "I-I have something to finish, maybe you can take Wilson instead of me?"He frowned, "why should I take Wilson to eat dinner at a restaurant? Can't you tell that I'm asking you to have a date with me?"I've been avoiding that, but I can't tell him the real reason why I’m rejecting his offer. "I haven't sent the files to the production team yet, I need to do that. I'm absent a lot this month, I don't want them to think that I'm abusing my position of being your secretary."He took a deep breath, "Okay, I u

    "Why do you look like that, like you've seen a ghost?" Craig asked me, maybe he saw my reflection in the mirror.“C-Can you stop the car?” I asked, Darius was still there standing like he had no plan to leave."Huh? Why did you forget something?” He asked again, "If there is, let's turn where we can because it's not allowed here."I clenched my hand, "Is that so... T-Then you don't need to, you're too busy." I said softly even though my heartbeat seemed to be going crazy, all the muscles in my body seemed in shock, like I was caught in a crime I didn't want to..."Eh? It's okay if the item is important to you and you can't sleep if you don't get it now, we can go back there. You don’t have to worry about me, I’m free right now." He says, but I can’t.To be honest, I don’t know how to face Darius now even if I go back there."N-No, I-It’s okay. I can look for it tomorrow, so keep driving... You have a lot to do, you should do it instead." I'll just call Darius when I get home... I just

    I didn't sleep all night, no matter what I called Darius, he didn't answer. I couldn't bring myself to open the company's group chat because the topic was about the approved design and it was inevitable that my name would be mentioned.When the sun rises, everything becomes bright there is nothing I can do but ready myself to come to work.As I expected, the employees didn't treat me well, the way they looked at me, and whispered to each other, and even others who didn't pay attention to me when I entered, I can still feel how much they blamed me."Lia." Noel was the first to approach me, "Come to Sir Darius' office, he's been waiting for you." I see how he looks at me, it's not like others who judge me, at least he’s smiling.It's a pity that I care too much for their opinion, I don't know if it's because he believes that I didn’t do it or because he knows I'll be fired soon so he’s being nice."Noel, I didn't do that thing." I tried to talk to him.He just looked at me and smiled on

The bar manager chased me as I walked faster toward my car.What issue did Lia get involved in once again?Just think of her crying alone without no one to lean on, I couldn't help but to curse numerous times. She doesn't deserve that, I believe in her even though we haven't known each other that long.“Sir!” He quickly stopped my hand to open the car door, "Please, you really can't leave.""What I'm going to now is more important, she needs me." I looked at him seriously, "you understand me, right?"He pulled back, "B-but sir...""No buts, I need to go," I said and removed his hand, I opened the door completely and quickly went in there. I immediately drove to Darius's company, I wanted to see her as soon as possible.~As soon as the car stopped, I saw her immediately walking out of the company, it was obvious from the way she walked that she had no energy because of what was happening.Somehow, I felt m

    Lia's POVIt was very dark and people were almost asleep when we got to Craig's grandparents' house, it was a bit embarrassing and we disturbed their good sleep.Craig knocked gently on the door, trying to wake up the people inside the house. It’s fortunately, the door immediately opens after a few more knocks.“Craig, what are you doing here late at night?” His grandmother asked with concern, but immediately her eyes landed on me standing by Craig's side. "You have someone else with you.""Good evening." I bowed and said, "S-sorry if we disturbed you.""Oh! You don’t have to worry, that's fine. I was just surprised and Craig didn't say that he was going to be here, all I knew was that he was leaving…” She couldn’t finish her words when Craig suddenly interrupted her."La, we have food here. We haven't had dinner yet, come with us." Craig replied with a smile."No, we already ate." Grandma answered, "Honey, maybe you want to accompany your grandson to eat." She shouted to someone, “Co

    "Left, raise it to the left, it’s uneven!" I shouted while Craig climbed up the iron stairs and attached the happy fiesta poster and others that needed to be hung, we were already awake at four o'clock to do all the preparation yet there was still so much needed to be done."This, is it alright now?" He asked after lifting the left side, he was already a little sweaty from the amount of work he had done since early. Adding that other neighbors are also asking for help, though the enjoyment on his face is quite obvious.I gasped and shook my head, "it's too much now, Craig. I'm getting dizzy looking up, you're here and I'm up there. Let's just change position, I’m so tired of telling you it’s not even.""Huh?! It's not possible, what if you fall?" He bent down worriedly and looked at me.“Just this because I want to try, Craig. If I fall, I'll only have a few scratches and small fractures so it’s fine, come on let me try it, and let's change."

    DARIUS'S POVI hugged her waist tightly and kissed her passionately, "J-just a moment, Darius." She said while pushing me away."For a while now, I have endured not being able to hug and kiss you, Lia. I will go crazy if you keep me waiting even now." I said desperately while taking deep breaths, I could feel the hardness inside my underwear."B-but I smell like sweat, I'll take a shower first." She said but I shook my head and hugged her again, I kissed her neck."I like your natural smell, Lia. It's sweet." I licked it and sucked her neck, I did it to mark her. She's mine, officially. Not only for us but also on paper and in the eyes of others."Aah! Darius!” She grunted as I caressed her thigh up to her pussy, she was only wearing underwear under her dress. Damn, it made me more excited!I picked her up and kissed her again, carefully leaning he against the wall as we continued to kiss.

I just held my hips; what time did I finish the documents I was dealing with last night?If I had only known that I was only going to babysit, I would not have attended this morning's ceremony, I looked around and everyone was busy. I just smiled, Darius must be happy right now.I took a deep breath and stretched my body, "You don't want you to stop, then okay I'm going to chase you for real!" I shouted jokingly, Daniel screamed with laughter and ran again.Like him, I also ran fast when suddenly a woman appeared in front of me, damn it! “Excuse me!” I shouted, we both stopped immediately but we were not far enough from each other to stand properly.I immediately grabbed her waist and hugged her, luckily my reflex was fast and I was able to balance our body so that we both wouldn't fall.

    "E-excuse me, can you make an announcement? I need some help my son is missing, maybe someone saw him, or can I look at the CCTV camera?" I said desperately."Sure, ma'am, but can I ask how many minutes your child has been missing, have you tried to look around?" The staff asked."Yes, I already did, but I can find him. Also, we just got back here and my son is not familiar with the area. I don't know what to do anymore, he's just four years old." I cried as I explained, it became more and more clear to me what an irresponsible mother I was."Okay then, please sit down first ma'am. Can I ask for details about him, please write here." He gave me a black ball pen and a small notebook.I wrote everything that could describe him, I hope someone saw him."Paging, child lost..." They started to announce but I was still restless in my seat, what if he had already left the building? "If anyone sees him, you can call his parents at the contact number written on his ID, thank you!"After he put

    "Kyaah!" Daniel squealed happily when Darius chased him while in the pool, and the reason he was screaming too loud was that he couldn't leave his place since he wasn't that good at swimming yet."This is me, I'm the shark and I will eat you." Darius threatened him again, he was even more confused about what to do and flapped his hand in the water. I can see that Daniel was really into their play, I’d never see him smiling like that."Mommy, help me! Kyaah, Mister Shark will eat me!” He shouted while waving at me.I don't know if he was really scared or just pretending, there was a wide smile on his lips. So cute!“Too late, I got you!” Darius said and hugged him tightly, he tried to bite him in the neck making Daniel laugh louder.Even the maids and guard on the side could not help but smile, who can even resist his contagious laughter?They just continued to play while I just sat on the edge of the swimming pool, I could only wave at Daniel because my body was still in pain.

    Lia's POV“Mommy, mommy!” He repeatedly called my name while trying to shake me with two small hands, "Mommy wake up, let's eat so I can go swimming." He was about to cry, why he’s so excited too early in the morning?And what is he even saying? Swim to where I did not say we would go to a picnic today.Even though my eyes didn't want to, I slowly opened them, "Daniel, it's too early to go swimming." My eyes are still a little blurry but I can see the wrinkles on his face."Mommy, it's not too early. It's lunchtime, please get up." He tried to pull my hand but I was still not enough, I had the energy to stand up right now.The door opened and I saw Darius carrying a tray of food, there were two other maids behind him also carrying trays. "Daniel, don't tease your mommy too much. Let her go first, come and eat first.""B-but I want to go swimming with mommy." His red and small lips pouted, "who am I to play with if she doesn't come along."Darius and I looked at each other, he nodded a

"Sir, please madam have guests don’t make a scene. Can you wait until the meeting is over?" Her voice is pleading.I stopped for a moment and looked at her seriously, "Let me see and talk to her, or else I will destroy everything here until everyone comes out and sees me doing something messy." I said emphatically to make her stop."B-but Sir... T-then, please come with me." The maid bowed and let me walk to the room where she was, from outside I heard their laughter which added to the annoyance and anger I was feeling right now. She’s so happy, yet the son she abandons is about to go crazy.How can she be happy after she messes up other people's worlds, to make Lia leave me without saying a word even though she does not want to?

    Darius's POVI laid her down slowly after I cleaned and dressed her, I'm afraid that I will wake her up. Now that we are home, I feel a little guilty, I think I tired her too much. But I don’t even think I can stop myself, after all, all I did was wait for her patiently.No words can describe the joy I have felt since the moment I saw her, in the five years that I have endured not to disturb her and let her have a quiet life; it never occurred to me that so much would come back to me just from being a patient man. Now that I'm with them both, I can't ask for anything else but their happiness. Like before, I can do everything for them. I will fight for them no matter who questions my decision, if it’s not them then no thanks.I turned to the side table when my cell phone vibrated, it's Craig.I immediately answered, "Darius, have you come home yet? Sorry, I couldn't wait for you because there was a commotion at the bar and I was needed." He worriedly asks.I could not help but smile,

    “Oh gosh, Darius… Wait!” I don't know what seat to take, the car is too crowded for both of us. "Ah!"I immediately covered my mouth when a small moan escaped as he suddenly grabbed one of my breasts and licked it, "w-wait, maybe someone might hear us." I held his hand holding me and begged him to wait until we got home while looking straight into his eyes."Damn, how can I stop if you're looking at me like that?" His breaths were deep, only then did I notice that he was not wearing a top now. "I'm still holding myself back in this situation, Lia so please don't seduce and provoke me more."What the hell am I doing, I'm just stopping him and maybe someone will hear us, even if his car windows are tinted it's still embarrassing and dangerous for us to do this here..."Can we just do this at your house, no matter how long it takes, maybe you can tolerate it..." I’m nervous, but at the same time, I feel the same way. To be honest, I’m excited right now."No, Lia. I don’t think I can take
