"Shit! I woke up late."
Naomi ran down the stairs carrying her shoes and bag. She glanced at the watch on her arm, terrible! The clock showed fifteen minutes to six. But why hasn't Enrico sent her the address yet?
Clara who was still wearing her nightgown turned her head when she heard a commotion from the stairs. "Sis, be careful! You can fall," she said while drinking milk on the dining table. "Where are you going this early anyway?"
"I have important business," she said, holding the phone between her shoulder and ear with both hands busy putting on her shoes in a hurry.
Naomi stared at her phone in annoyance. Damn! Enrico didn't pick up the call. But a few seconds later the man sent her a message.
Mr. Leonard: <I've already sent someone to pick you up, don't make him wait too long.>
"Don't want breakfast first?" Clara asked as she lifted the bread sh
As she had expected, with such all-private facilities, it was certain that what Enrico lived in was not at the apartment level, but the Penthouse. "Fine, I'm not going to mince words. So, what did you want to talk about that 'little gift'?" She bit her lower lip while twisting her fingers. How did she talk to Enrico? Should she beg for him? kneel? or even prostrate at his feet? She was shocked when suddenly the man stood up and approached her, one hand still holding the glass, the other hand holding the nape of her neck, and those sexy lips pressed against her lips. The kiss was getting wilder and rougher as if he had quenched all his thirst. Naomi who wasn't ready to receive the sudden attack just blinked without being able to fight back or speak. She broke the kiss, looking into Naomi's amber eyes that made him take cold showers every night. "I told you not to bite your lip like that. I wil
Naomi woke up only wrapped in a blanket when the sun was at its peak. She looked to the side and didn't find him next to her. She cupped her face chaotically, then laughed bitterly. Left after making love? She really is like ... a bitch. She tossed aside the blanket, then with her naked body she walked towards one of the two lined doors. Her aim in the bathroom. Her body felt sticky from their hot making love this morning. She turned on the shower and cold water started pouring down the head to her feet. She enjoyed the splash of water that ran down her face, in her heart, she cursed herself for having signed a contract with a demon in human form named Enrico Leonard. Her body may enjoy his every touch, that's normal. But her heart screamed in pain as if every his touch was a hail of stones that mercilessly stoned her body. Her heart crying. Now, she no different from those whom she hated so
Naomi paused for a moment and then looked up. She stared in awe at the luxurious building in front of her. They had just met this morning, and this afternoon Enrico had her come to his office asking to bring him kimbap with a lot of cheese topped. Damn! Is she his maid? Then, why would he have a personal assistant if something as simple as this he asked her to do! Her feet stepped back into the building towards the reception desk which was a few meters parallel to the door. "Good afternoon, can I help you?" the receptionist with a neat bun greeted her in a friendly manner. Naomi smiled briefly then said, "I want to meet Mr. Leonard. Can you show me where his room is?" Hearing that one name, the receptionist's expression turned cynical. Then her eyes scanned Naomi's body from top to bottom and smile disdainfully. She said, "H
Naomi wakes up on a large sofa in a silver room. Her eyes scan throughout the room and found Enrico's busy with a stack of files on his desk. Then her gaze ended up on the kimbab that she's carrying, still left on the table.Without looking at her, Enrico said, "You sleep like a corpse.""How did I get here? Did you carry me?" she asked while smoothing her messy hair.He turned to her. "Of course not," then he returned to his work."What do my employees say if their boss is carrying a woman when she's even surrounded by bodyguards?""Then?""Lou carried you," he said.Obviously, he's lying. Enrico's too prestigious to admit to her that he was the one who carried her to his room. Naomi is a rebellious woman, to control her he must make her submit to his power. If his arrogance dropped even a little bit, she would come back always fighting him like before.
Liam has just arrived at the new building of the figure skating club that houses his girlfriend. Coincidentally, he arrived at the same time as Hye In, who had just left the building. He rolled down the car window and greeted her, "Hye In." Hye-in waved. "Hi, Oppa." Then she walked quickly to him. "Oppa, what brings you here? Are you looking for Naomi?" He smiled and said, "Ne, is he still inside?" "She just came home, you didn't tell her first?" Liam nodded slowly. "I wanted to surprise her." "So sweet ... You make me jealous," she said. Then, "Oppa, she hasn't been gone for long. Try to call her." He pointed his finger at the phone he was holding to his ear. But a few seconds later he looked at his phone and said, "the number is off." Then he looked back at Hye In. "Then I'll go first."
Naomi enters the yard and finds Liam sitting on the steps on the terrace playing on his cell phone."Liam, are you here?"Hearing his name called, he looked up. A relieved smile etched on his face. "Finally you're home," he said with a smile that didn't fade even though tiredness was clearly printed on his handsome face.She hugged his arm and said, "Come on in. I'll make you your favorite coffee."After closing the door, she walked into the kitchen, grabbed a cup, and turned on the coffee maker.Her mind wandered back to thinking about her boyfriend whom she had betrayed. Seeing Liam's tired face made her feel even more guilty, she had done something unforgivable. Who knows how long she will be in the shadow of a bastard man like Enrico Leonard. I don't know when she will be free from her snare."Baby, are you going to stir it until it's cold?""N
Clara said goodbye to her friends after they came out of the cafe where they were doing study groups. "Clara, who did you go home with?" asked one of her friends.She smiled and pointed to one of the cars parked there. "I brought the car." "Alright, see you tomorrow. Bye, Clara!" Clara waved as her friends headed in a different direction from where she had parked the car. As she walked towards her car, she saw in the distance someone she had avoided taking large steps toward her. She quickly took out her car keys from her jacket pocket. Her shaking hands struggled to insert the key into the lock until the key fell when the man approached her. Her body shaking. The man picked up the fallen car keys and held them. "Hyun Woo, give me my car keys back!" She tried to reach for the car keys which he held up high, causing her to
"When Mr. Leonard said he would take you to accompany me to my last lunch in Korea, I thought he was joking." She smiled politely and replied, "Nice to accompany you to lunch, Senor." Naomi just smiled in response to Mr. Alberto's relates the main reason why she currently ends up at the same table with Enrico and Eneas Alberto at a typical Korean restaurant known for its delicious Jjangmyeon and Tteobokki. As he said, today is the last day Mr. Alberto is in Korea, and in the next few hours, he will return to Spain. Earlier when Enrico took him to a Korean restaurant, this Spaniard suddenly talked about him. "I did tell Mr. Leonard to take me to the best Korean restaurant in Seoul. Then when we arrived at this place, and when we chatted lightly about Spanish and Korean cuisine I remember you," he said then took a sip of Insam-cha or ginseng tea typical Korean. Enrico smi
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
