"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
"So, now you and Mr. Leonard are FWB?" asked Hye In as she pinched the piece of grilled meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.Today Naomi took her to a grill and suki restaurant.The woman looked up, "FWB? What is FWB?" she asked while turning the pieces of meat on the grill.Hye In rolled her eyes. "You know? Friend with benefit," she said, quoting the word benefit with a hand gesture."He even more calling it by SP."This time it was Hye In who frowned and asked, "SP?"They sat across from each other. Naomi leaned forward with her arms resting on the table. "Sex Partner," she said in a very low voice."Mwo?!" Her eyes rounded. "He's a guy who doesn't like small talk."Naomi chose to pour her soju into a glass. "You know, Hye In? He always suddenly calls and asks me to come to his place whenever he w
"So, what's she doing today, Lou?" Enrico asked while pointing his Cue* at one of the Cue balls on the table. *Cue : Stick billiard *Cue ball: Billiard ball "Miss Lee today went to ..." Lou begins to read out the data that has been recorded and collected by someone Enrico paid to oversee Naomi's daily life. Yeah, more like spying. Lou didn't know why his boss was doing all this. Stalking an ordinary girl. For what? "... Then she met Ms. Lee Ga Eun while she eating with her friends at a restaurant-" "Wait," he said, then grabbing a Chalk*. "So she met ... what was her name?" he asked, coating the Tip* portion of his billiard stick. *Chalk: Billiard equipment that functions to coat the top of the Cue/stick so it doesn't slip when poke the ball.*Tip: the top of the billiard stick. Lou bowed respectfu
"Jae Hee, why did you bring me to a place like this?"Clara paused. She is uncomfortable when Jae Hee takes her to one of a nightclub in downtown Seoul.Jae Hee looked back, still pulling her hand even though the woman looked awkward and uncomfortable. "Come on, Clara! You're just not used to it, in time you'll like it."Clara's reluctantly, but she still let Jae Hee pull her hand, leading her into a club filled with a sea of people with the blaring disco lights and deafening DJ music.The man invited her to sit at the bar table. He also ordered a drink for him and Clara. Several women approached them, to Jae Hee to be precise."Let's have a drink together, Jae Hee! You know what? You haven't been here in a long time." One of the women looked sulky and spoiled to him.Clara only watched their interactions briefly with the corners of her eyes and then chose
As she continued to walk, Naomi kicked the can of drink bottles lying on the sidewalk in annoyance. Previously she had even cried all night for her big guilt, betraying a good and loyal man like Liam. But it turns out? The man was no different from her. She stopped as she passed a city park, then turned there and sat on a swing. She leaned her head against the swing chain with her mind wandering over her relationship journey with Liam over the past two years. It started from their first meeting when she was admitted to the hospital with a severe leg injury from a fall while maneuvering on the ice. It was the man who gave her first aid when she entered the ER for the first time. Since then, Liam has been her doctor during her stay at the hospital, he even offering to be her doctor while she is recovering process. The two grew closer, and when he found out that Naomi was a committed woman, he i
"What's in the photo isn't what you think it is."Naomi took her purse from her bag, then took something out of it. Liam took it with a furrowed brow in confusion."The man next to me in the photo, he's Enrico Leonard. He's one of the biggest sponsors of my club, he's also the guy you met in the locker room that time."His eyes widened at this fact. The photo that Yura sent was taken from behind, so he couldn't clearly see the face of the man in the photo.She said again, "some time ago, he came with his Spanish business partner to my restaurant. It was purely coincidental, he was also surprised that I worked there."Then her gaze dropped to the business card currently held by Liam, then to the photo that Yura had sent him. "Did you see the person who is getting in that car?"She asked, pointing her index finger at a figure who didn't pay much attention becau
Liam strides along the hospital corridor with his doctor coat glued to his body and a stethoscope hanging from his neck. He walked dashingly followed by a nurse carrying a stack of files in her hands, they went to every postoperative care ward for daily checkups. The first ward they entered was the adult women's ward. Some beds are empty, only three beds are occupied by patients. The first one he approached was a female patient in her fifties with a diagnosis of Mammae Dextra Tumor or a benign right breast tumor and had undergone surgery this morning. "Annyeong Haseo," he greeted politely. The nurse handed him a file, and he opened it. "Mrs. Han Eun Ji, fifty-nine years old, having the address at Gangseo district, is that right?" he said to ensure compatibility between the patient and her medical record, this must be done by a medical professional before carrying out an examination or action to pre
Lee Jong In glanced at the watch on his wrist then sighed softly, "We've been waiting for almost two hours and he still hasn't shown up."Ga Eun is also getting restless, she doesn't even care about her makeup. "Dad, should we just go home?""No," his father shook his head. "The rumors circulating about our family recently made my company plummet by three hundred points on the stock market. Leo Corporation is a large company, in fact, it dominates the American stock exchange, cooperating with his company will not only improve the condition of our company but from Leo Corporation will also increase the value of our shares on the stock exchange."Recently, news about his family's dark past suddenly spread and was covered by all the media. No one knows who the perpetrator is who spread this, the news about Lee Jong In who married a woman when he got a scholarship to study in Spain and had two daughters became a hot topic bo
Ga Eun stopped talking when her hand that was about to reach Enrico was grabbed by Lou. "Sorry, miss. But my master doesn't like to be touched by other people."Enrico's gaze sharpened as the hand almost touched his thigh. He snorted softly, "You think you can change my mind in such a cheap way? Tsk! You're so wrong, Miss Lee, That's not the way to get me interested."'Looks like you have a lot to learn from your stepsister on that, lady.' his inner god smirked slyly.Lee Jong In moistened his lips nervously, then said, "Mr. Leonard, please forgive my daughter's presumptuous attitude to you.""If you weren't interested in the company from the start, you wouldn't have asked me to come here." He then looked at Enrico in frustration, "So what exactly do you want? I'm sure you're not playing me by asking me to come when your answer is no.""Listen," he said. "I'm a businessman just l
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
