Yeon Chul paced back and forth in his practice room with a restless gesture. For the umpteenth time he glanced at the watch on his wrist and then at the door, and he still couldn't get any sign of Liam's came.
When the door finally opened and found Liam coming in with a sour face, he rushed over to him and said, "Liam! I have something important I want to talk to you about."
Liam looked at him lazily. "If it's outside the context of work, talk about it another time. I'm in a bad mood."
"Hey! Didn't you spend time with your girlfriend last night? You should be happy, not cloudy like this!"
"You're just making my mood worse." Liam keeps his briefcase on the table. "Hurry up and hand over your work to me, and go home! I'm not in the mood to discuss anything."
"But this is an important matter!" Yeon Chul said determinedly. "It's about your girlfriend."
Liam's exp
"Mr. Leonard!" Feeling his name being called, Enrico stopped walking and turned his head to the side. He raised an eyebrow when he found Naomi's head poking behind the pillar. The woman again disappeared behind the pillar, a few seconds later finally her figure appeared in front of him. "There's something I want to talk to you about. Can I?" Enrico smirked a little, then stepped haughtily over to her. Until they were face to face with such a close distance, he buried his hands in his pants pockets and said, "When I tied you up, you always tried to break free. But now? When I let you go, you came by self to me, baby." Luckily at this time, the atmosphere was very quiet, there was no one but them at this time. "I just wanted to ask you one thing." Naomi reiterated her reason for asking the man to talk. E
Naomi came out of the toilet cubicle and found So Hee washing her hands in the sink. So Hee looked at her through the reflection of the mirror, smiled at her briefly, and then returned to focus on soaping her hands. She felt something strange with that gaze. Naomi walked over to the hand dryer hanging on the wall and put her hand there. There was a warm gust of wind that came out of the tool hitting her wet skin. She looked back when So Hee suddenly said, "Naomi, you are a great woman." So Hee's said were accompanied by a small chuckle. "Ehm ... what do you mean?" Naomi just frowned in confusion, not knowing what kind of greatness she meant. So Hee turned off the sink faucet, then stood next to Naomi waiting her turn to dry her hands. "Yes, you are indeed great to be selected as a candidate for this year's international Olympic selection." Naomi s
Naomi, Junhoo, Ma Ri, and Yong Dae remained in the room after Mr. Park said the evaluation meeting was over and everyone was allowed to leave. There is Mr. Kim, who will still guide the preparation of the selection that will be held soon. After an hour, the briefing is finally over. When she left the room, there was something strange about the gazes of the people who passed her as she walked towards the locker room. From a distance Hye In seemed to be running fast towards her with a worried expression, making her even more clueless as to what was going on right now. "Naomi, you have to open the athletes club chat group right now!" Hye In said as soon as the woman arrived right in front of her. She just furrowed her brows in confusion and said, "What's the matter, Hye In? My phone is out of power, can you show me?" Hye In frantically took her cell phone in her pocket with trembling hands. "Loo
"No, Hye-In." She shakes her head slowly. "I even had a dream, suddenly he let me go. I couldn't possibly send myself to him again." Maybe Hye In is right, Enrico could have helped her out of trouble. But, the opportunity to be free from him will not necessarily come twice. "But you have no other choice, Nao, only he can save you from destruction." Naomi chose to go back to the locker room to get her backpack there. Hye In also no longer urges her, she only gives her the best solution, but the decision is still in her hands. When the two of them were about to enter the locker room, suddenly Mr. Park's scream from behind calling her name with a loud intonation. "Naomi Lee, come to my room now!" Hye In looked at her with pity, she just gave her a faint smile and said, "Hye In, you go home first okay? I'm fine, everything will be fine." Naomi smiled
Enrico's laughter echoes in the car along the way to his grandfather's office. Before leaving the figure skating club, he had realized something had happened, especially when he saw Mr. Park shouted Naomi's name with an angry face. He was curious about this, therefore he asked his IT specialist to hack the CCTV in Mr. Park's room, he finally watched everything that happened in the room through his tablet while he was on his way to his grandfather's office. Enrico couldn't help but laugh when Naomi returned all of Mr. Park's argument to her, making her at least 'saved' from a heavier sentence. "Nice, that's just my woman." He chuckled softly as he remained focused on his tablet screen. At first, he was very curious how she would have handled the problem without him, he thought Naomi would go look for him for help because after all, it was Enrico who had an important role in this scandal.
Naomi felt Liam's aura darken as he closed the door to his apartment. She sat on the sofa nervously, what really made Liam so angry? His hand still holding the door handle, he turned to look at her with a cold expression then said, "Baby, did something happen today?" She looked at him with a shocked face, "what do you mean?" The man walked towards her after a click was heard indicating the door had been locked. "I'm just asking because I see your face is very cloudy." She doesn't know why, but she feels Liam knows about the big things that have happened at the club today. "Yeah, just a little trouble." Oh, God! She really hoped Liam didn't know about his scandal with Enrico Leonard. "Baby, what is the meaning of our relationship so far?" Naomi turned her head to find Liam looking at her with a hurt expression. "Liam ... why do you ask that
Ah, Naomi remembers now. Wasn't the reason she joined the club also because of Liam? Mr. Park is Liam's mother's cousin. She also forgot that Mr. Park's daughter is one of the athletes at the club. Liam Hwang certainly got this news from Mr. Park's daughter, because she was sure her club owner wouldn't leak this to him. "Can you explain everything?" "What else do you want to hear? Isn't everything clear? That's true, I won't deny it at all." Naomi wiped the tears from her cheeks then looked away looking in any direction, she couldn't be seeing how to hurt Liam's face was now. Liam who is still squatting slowly approached her. The man is now right in front of Naomi who is sitting on the sofa, he is kneeling with one knee resting on the floor. The man clasped her hands together, "Hey, look at me." The man pulled Naomi's chin so she turned to look at
Today Enrico went to his grandfather's office to discuss some important things with the staff regarding the preparation of the latest product launch party which is in collaboration with a well-known Italian fashion company. This is all thanks to Enrico, who is well-known in global business circles, making it easy for him to develop his grandfather's company that he manages. Enrico out of the car after the driver opened the door, he straightened his suit for a moment then stepped into the building confidently. Many pairs of eyes stole glances because they did not dare to look at him directly. Enrico Leonard is known for his perfectionist and arrogant personality, who does not like to tolerate even the slightest error. Working with someone like Enrico can make you rich quickly. He is loyal to his employees, willing to pay high salaries and overtime, but perfection is the price. Every detail of
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
