"Oppa, Uhm... are you forgetting something?" she asked with a feeling that was starting to fall apart.
"Did I forget something?" Her boyfriend threw the question back at her instead.
Naomi tightened her grip on her phone. As she expected, again Liam forgot her promise. "Ah, it's okay. Did you read my message?"
Liam on the other end said, "Baby ... I'm sorry, I'm really busy right now."
It turned out that Liam had not read her message either.
"Okay. Don't push your body too much, take care of your health. See you, bye!"
Naomi disconnected the phone unilaterally. Her slow steps led her to the student who was holding a 'small concert' east of the bustling center of Hongdae. Jonghyun's song "End Of A Day" played melodiously as Naomi drew closer.
She sat on one of the top steps to the east. The man was standing in the middle of the street with a standing mic in front of him. People watching surrounded him, many also sitting on the s
"Tsk!" She chuckled. Then enter first. Enrico with his pushy nature! She picked up her favorite Honey Butter Chips and other types of snacks that lined the shelves. She also took a few packets of extra spicy Samyang noodles. "Take your own. I don't like spicy," says Enrico, who is crouching down for a cold drink on the cooling rack. Naomi rolled her eyes slowly. "Don't roll your eyes, Naomi. I know it even though I don't see it." She put everything he brought into his basket. "As a man, you talk a lot." Enrico carried his basket to the counter. The employee who served as the cashier seemed to steal Enrico's attention, Naomi's admitted that the man was very handsome even though he looked so casual. "I'll wait outside," Naomi told him. He looked like he was going to stop her, but Naomi immediately said, "Don't worry, I'm not running away!" "Alright." From inside he saw Naomi approaching a roadside bakery,
"I'll call in a minute," she said, lifting the phone up to her ear and then away from him. While taking out snacks and drinks from the shopping bag and placing them on the table, Enrico quietly strained his ears out of curiosity as to who she was calling. Is it her boyfriend? "I'm fine." The sentence he heard when Naomi was talking to the caller. "No, I'm going to stay at my friend's house tonight. I'll call you later, bye!" She walked over to him and sat on the sofa next to him. Enrico opens a can of soda and hands it to her. "You called your boyfriend and said you were staying at a man's house?" "Of course not! I called my little sister so she wouldn't worry about waiting for me at home." "I thought you were that stupid." Enrico chuckled as he opened his can of soda and drank it. "Isn't your boyfriend worried about you? or ..." he turned to her with a smirk and said, "He really doesn't care about you?" "Hey!" she protested. T
"Hiyaa!" Naomi pushed his chest hard and ran towards the bedroom. "Naomi! You didn't think you'd sleep in there without me, did you?!" Enrico banged on the bedroom door as she managed to close and lock it. Naomi rubbed her chest as she leaned against the door. She was lucky, her common sense still remained when the passion had begun to paralyze her brain and body. "Don't get carried away, Naomi. He's handsome and sexy, but don't be tempted," she muttered under her breath. "Naomi! I'm the host here, I can't sleep on the couch. Hey!" Enrico brushed his hair with his hands on his hips. Truly unexpected! The woman would run away from him like this. "Naomi! You-" "I won't open the door until morning!" Naomi said from inside the room. Enrico kicked the door in annoyance. "You think after the morning you'll be safe? Of course not! I'll enter you as soon as you get out of the room!" Meanwhile, in the room she breathed a
Clara walked down the campus hallway with the books she held to her chest. If her older sister majored in design, then she majored in painting at one of the best universities in Seoul. "Hi, Clara!" Clara turned her head as someone walked beside her. "Annyeong, Ha Ri," she greeted with a smile. "Clara, how are you and Kwon Jae Hee? Aren't you guys close? Are you guys already dating?" Her face was flushed red. "Yeah, we've dated a few times." Then she covered her face with the books she was carrying. "Aish! I'm so embarrassed." Kwon Jae Hee is her senior who is currently close to her. They got to know each other at a student gathering. Jae Hee is a sweet man, he is also gentle and kind. "Clara!" she said suddenly and pointed towards the stairs. "It's Jae Hee!" "Jae Hee!" Her hand waved as he found the man coming down the stairs. "Hi, Clara!" he said when he saw Clara was there. Ha Ri patted her shoulder lightly ma
Naomi was driving the car dreamily. Now the peace she and her little sister had been feeling for the past few years was over. Neither Ga Eun nor Hyun Woo would stop bothering her once they learned of Clara's campus location, as well as its Spanish restaurant. This is so bad. After a few years they no longer interfere with each other's lives, why are they now bothering her again? She arrived at the reception desk. "Good afternoon, can I help you?" said the receptionist kindly. "I want to meet Mr. Lee Jong In." The receptionist looked surprised. Then she said, "sorry did you have an appointment before?" She nodded. "Yes, I already have an appointment with her. My name is Naomi Lee." This receptionist reached for the phone on the table, from what she heard this woman was calling her father's secretary. "Please go up to the twelfth floor, Miss Lee. Mr. Lee is waiting for you." Naomi slightly bowed slightly t
"Naomi!" That sentence kept her from holding to open the door. "You made Ga Eun's allergies flare up. Then Hyun Woo, he wanted to study there because he wanted to keep guard Clara, his stepsister, on campus. Then where is the problem? You're the one who sowed hatred, even though they are kind." "They are kind, you say?" Naomi stared at her father with an incredulous face. "No good person snatches other people's family happiness, and don't ever call that bitch my mother! You don't even believe that they often bullied us, you only believe in snakes like them!" PLAKK!! Lee Jong In slap Naomi on the cheek very hard. "Watch your mouth," he said angrily. Her ears buzzed from the slap. Naomi laughed as she rubbed her reddened cheeks, although inwardly it felt like a dagger was being stabbed and was giving off excruciating pain. So sick, and tight. "Now that you are slapping me, are you going to kill me with your own hands later
Naomi reached into her phone and looked for Liam's contact to call him. Whenever she fights with her father, she would look for Liam. She always needed it as a support which for the past two years had been one of the pillars of her life. Liam is an important part of her life, he also one of her pillars in living a hard life. No matter even though lately he's often forgotten his promise and sometimes be indifferent. She is still crying alone in the car in the parking lot of her father's office. She is very hurt after getting slapped by her father for the first time. "Liam ..." she said between sobs. "Hello," said the caller. Naomi immediately straightened up. "Who are you? Why did you pick up Liam Hwang's phone?" she asked when she found out that a woman who answered the phone. "Oh, I'm Min Yura. Doctor Hwang is taking a shower, he asked me to pick up the phone. If there's anything important, you can tell to me, I'll tell him later."
"Naomi, wait!" Liam held her shoulder when she was want to close the door of her house. "Baby, I know you're mad at me. I'm sorry." She let go of Liam's hand on her shoulder. She turned and stared coolly at him. "Liam, please. You'd better go home, don't talk about it now." Liam looked at her worriedly. "Hey, is there a problem?" She saw Naomi's amber eyes were puffy with traces of tears still visible at the corners of her eyes. Looks like she's been crying. What's wrong with her? His hand reached out to touch her cheek, but she quickly brushed it off. "I'm all right," she said. "Baby, I'm really sorry," he said with a regretful expression. "That night, Min Yura, a junior of mine at the hospital, got into trouble while performing the procedure until the patient's family complained and even planned to sue her. It was a really chaotic day, I-" "Wait," She raised a hand to interrupt his explanation. "Min ... Yura?"
Ga Eun arrives in front of her eternal enemy, Naomi. "You bitch! How dare you come here and mess around here," Ga Eun said then grabbed the coffee on the tray her assistant had brought and splashed it on Naomi's shirt. Naomi reflexively stood up while wiping the front of her shirt which was wet with coffee due to Ga Eun's actions. Naomi's gaze turned cold. "You've exhausted my stock of patience, Ga Eun." "You're the one causing trouble here, Naomi!" Lee Jong In already raised his palm, about to throw a slap at Naomi. Then, someone came along in the midst of the increasingly heated situation. "Looks like I just missed a show." Lee Jong In's hand stopped in midair and everyone turned their heads towards the door in unison. Enrico enters the room in a gray suit with Lou behind him who appears to be carrying a briefcase with a pile of files. Ga Eun suddenly turned around while swallowing hard saliva. Unlucky! Her spontaneou
Naomi straightened her formal clothes for a moment before finally getting out of the car. She walked with a pounding heart rhythm because it was undeniable that it took great strength to attend today's board of directors meeting. It will never be easy to face Lee Jong In alone even though the old man is her own father. So that's why she was desperate to make a deal with Enrico Leonard to be his sex partner because only Enrico can help her face her father. Armed with a file detailing the data of the people who entered the board of directors of shareholders that she got from Enrico, Naomi was able to enter the office building without having to be evicted at the entrance. "Tsk! This must be Ga Eun's doing," she mumbled softly as he entered the elevator with the two bodyguards Enrico ordered to guard her while the man hadn't arrived. Naomi was absolutely sure, her name was on the blacklist of the security team at the entrance on Lee Ga Eun's orders. She m
Naomi is finally back in Enrico's luxury penthouse in Hannam-Dong. She only brought one suitcase containing only important items, which was currently being carried by one of the bodyguards who had come to pick her up. Her footsteps suddenly stopped when she saw the man suddenly stop, for a moment Enrico's eyes swept around and then looked back, at Lou who now seemed to have stopped and stood obediently behind them. "Have you prepared the bedroom yet?" he asked his assistant. Lou bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, My Lord. The Walk-In Closet has also been rearranged and added clothes and all the necessities for Miss Lee." "Good." "E-Enrico, you don't have to ..." Naomi was about to speak but the man seemed reluctant to listen. The man again continued his steps until he entered the super-majestic bedroom that would be occupied by the two of them. When he turned around again, the woman was already standing behind him with an uncom
-IN REVISION STAGE- Please don't open this chapter until revision's complete. Thank you :)Enrico was on his way to the mall where Naomi was shopping as soon as it was five in the afternoon. His work hours were over, his work in the office was almost done, some of which he had brought to work later after the launch party was over.A few hours after Naomi called, Lou suddenly called her, then reported that Naomi was involved in an argument at her jewelry store with Lee Ga Eun.Lou even recorded and sent the video to him. He even had time to hear in the argument Naomi said that she would ask her man to come.Enrico didn't know why, but it seemed to trigger him. He got up from his seat, then grabbed his coat draped on the back of the chair and packed his things.When he reached the lobby, he remembered something and called Lou."Make sure there are no visitors other than Naomi and Lee Ga Eun in the shop. Either way, kick them out and close the
-IN REVISION STAGE- Please don't open this chapter until revision's complete. Thank you :)Naomi smirked slightly when she saw the store manager talking on a pillar a few meters away from the shop entrance, appearing to be talking to someone. Even though Naomi couldn't see his face, she knew that it was Lou who was talking to the manager.Lou seemed to have cleared up the customers when he heard he was going to ask Enrico to come. Even though they are just partners in bed, they are not really in a romantic relationship, things will be complicated if the public finds out about their togetherness.Ga Eun also didn't seem to notice, seeing her face that looked shocked when she saw that the surroundings were empty. It seemed that he was too curious to be busy hearing Naomi calling his man, making him unaware that the manager and shop assistant had closed the jewelry shop."Tell me, in whose name is the black card?!" Ga Eun impatiently aske
-REVISION STAGE-It seems that Ga Eun doesn't care about it all. He provokes Naomi even more, Ga Eun always wants to humiliate Naomi wherever they meet."Oh, I heard that you are a rich man's mistress. No wonder you can shop for all kinds of branded things." Ga Eun flashed her devilish smile. Then, he looked around, at the customers who came to the shop, it was getting busier in the afternoon. "Don't you know her? She's Naomi Lee, our proud figure skating athlete. Don't you know that this woman has an affair with one of her club sponsors?"This time, Ga Eun managed to provoke him. Unlucky! People are now starting to whisper about it.He looked at the waiter behind the display case with an angry face. "Do you want to take care of the transaction or not? I can look at another store.""Okay, miss. I'll-"Ga Eun quickly interrupted. "Hey! I told you I'd buy it. Don't you know who I am? I'm closely related to Enrico Le
-REVISION STAGE-Ga Eun is shopping to beautify her appearance at tonight's party. As his father ordered, he had to get Enrico's attention and pull him to his bed.He was sure that Enrico was actually just holding back for the sake of his ego as a high-class man who shouldn't be too easily swayed by women.While walking around, his gaze stopped at a jewelry store with a sign with a famous Korean brand on it.Ah, doesn't that brand belong to the jewelry company of Enrico's late grandfather who will be throwing his newest product launch party tonight? Holding a luxurious party because the product launched this time in collaboration with an international fashion brand from Italy.Yes, Enrico is indeed a very great businessman. So naturally, apart from saving their company from falling into Enrico's hands, his father was so obsessed with making him his son-in-law, because his work in the business world could not be underestimated.
-Revision stage-It seems that Naomi used Enrico's black card well, as seen from the many shopping bags with various well-known brands that Lou brought, so the bald-headed man looked so overwhelmed.Naomi stopped walking then, Lou behind her reflexively stopped his steps."I told you, I can do it myself. Look, you're in so much trouble."Naomi continued to grumble. He doesn't like company, it's awkward. But Lou insists on accompanying him, because Enrico has given orders for him to accompany and look after Naomi while shopping.At first she did not intend to spend a lot, because she is not the type of woman who likes to shop and she will only buy what she needs. But instead of making Lou give up because he was tired and bored from being invited to go around the mall for hours, the man instead recommended various shops so that Naomi would shop more. In fact, Naomi herself was tired after a long day of shopping and going through every s
