Enrico focused on the business magazine Lou had handed him. He read slowly an article that is now a hot topic of discussion in the media world.
The man chuckled softly, "That old man moves fast apparently."
"Isn't this what you wanted, sir? You brought this issue to the media because you wanted Miss Lee to have her father's confession."
What Lou said was the truth, Enrico was the person behind the revelation of Lee Jong In's dark secret. He is very upset when he reads Naomi's biography that his hired detective has collected, and finds that the woman is living a hard life even though she is the biological daughter of a big businessman in Korea.
"You're wrong, Lou." He shook his head in response to Lou's question. "That's not my goal to reveal Lee Jong In's dark secret to the mass media," he said as he gently rubbed his chin with his finger.
"What exactly is your aim, my
Clara paced back and forth in the bedroom with restless gestures. News of the revelation of Naomi and Clara as Lee Jong In's two secret daughters quickly spread in various media.It's nine in the morning and thirty minutes before class started, but she is still in her nightgown. She hasn't even showered yet, it looks like she has to cancel her intention to go to campus today because she will definitely be the number one person talked to her friends."What should I do?" she muttered.She's biting her nails anxiously, she didn't know what kind of disaster would happen in the future. Her friends at the campus were excitedly gossiping about her because of Hyun Woo's statement during summer camp at that time.Then, what did they say when they saw this news? She was in a relationship with her own half-brother?She suddenly stopped walking when an invisible light suddenly flashed above
"Don't you know who I am?"To be honest, Clara was a little scared to see how scary the temperament of this woman in front of her was, but she was able to hide her fear well, keeping her calm despite being bullied in such away."Time is precious for me. I prefer to spend time doing all my assignments, instead of memorizing every student on this campus.""Clara ..." Ha Ri whispered softly as she tugged at his sleeve. "She is Seo Da Kyung."Ah, Clara remembered that name. Da Kyung is the most influential senior and is famous for bullying others. She always looks flashy with her style and makeup, making it easier for others to recognize and remember her. It seems like here only Clara doesn't recognize her."Do I need to introduce myself to you?" A small smirk appeared on Da Kyung's face. "With my way, of course."Clara doesn't like Da Kyung's harsh treatment of
"Did you just wake up? You don't usually wake up this late." Naomi stood facing the large windows in the office at her restaurant, staring along the sidewalk which was quite busy with people in short clothes considering it is summer. A common sight that most people overlook. But Naomi liked it. "I ... I worked late last night, baby." Liam's voice is hoarse as if he had just woken up. "Looks like you've been very busy lately, it's really hard for me to see you. You haven't even called me since two days ago." Several months passed after news of her identity as Lee Jong In's daughter spread in the mass media. At first, the reaction of the people around her was so excited that Naomi was lazy to go anywhere. But slowly the news began to disappear swallowed up by the latest gossip that will never end. "Sorry for ignoring you, baby
Naomi rushed down the stairs to the restaurant kitchen. But when she's on the last step, Ye Bin approached her with fast steps. "I was just about to go into the office looking for you." Naomi furrowed her brows. "What's the matter?" "There is a customer who wants to meet the owner of this restaurant in person, but I don't think he has any complaints," Ye Bin said. "Alright, show me where the table is." Ye Bin walked over to show where the customer was. "There he is!" pointed at Ye Bin from a distance. From here she could see a Spanish man dressed casually with a white t-shirt and jeans wrapped around his slightly muscular body. The young man's face looked calm looking at the glass window next to him, watching the street outside while crossing his arms over his chest. "Annyeong Haseo, I'm Naomi Lee, the owner of this restaura
Juan came out of the toilet with a smile that never faded from his handsome face. For a moment he looked at the handkerchief stained with Naomi's blood that he was holding, then squeezed it gently. He had just come from the toilet to clean his shirt which was dirty from the spilled drink in the incident earlier. As he walked towards the exit he came across a man who had run into that waiter. "Good job," Juan said as their bodies passed without looking at him. Sentences were spoken very briefly accompanied by slowed footsteps. Juan also continued his steps without waiting for his answer, so as not to provoke suspicion from those around him, considering that he and the man were both involved in a small accident that befell Naomi. Juan gets in the car. "Young master," someone greeted as he knocked on the rear car door where Juan was waiting for him.
"Ah!" It's Liam's voice. Her trembling hands pushed open the door that's not completely closed. She entered and stood stiffly in the doorway. On the bed, Liam's moving his hips in rapid motion over a woman. "faster!" said the woman. "Yeah, with pleasure!" Liam replied no less wildly. Naomi felt the world she was standing on collapse and shattered, making her only able to lean her hand on the door frame to support her standing, she feels like there's a storm that was now rumbling in her heart. "Yura, I wanna cum!" Then Naomi saw Liam's body fall on top of the woman with sweat pouring all over his body. "Which is better, me or your girlfriend?" "You, of course." Hearing that, the cake box that Naomi was holding slipped from her hand while her body fell to the floor. Naomi's felt like the
"Let's break up." Like a thunderbolt in broad daylight, Liam felt the sky fall right above his head. Something was crushed deep inside to see Naomi say those words with a smile on her face. A smile full of wounds, as if the term 'smiling in sorrow' is the definition of the radiance on Naomi's face at this time. "No, I don't want!" He shook his head hard. Liam rubbed his face roughly then looked at Naomi with a panicked face. "I'm just lost in something false, baby, but my home is still you. Trust me, the love I have is only for you. Not Yura, or any woman." Naomi laughed bitterly, for the first time in few minutes here she finally reacted. Why did the sentence that used to always warm her heart now sound like bullshit? "You're not lost, you're just getting uncomfortable with your old home and finding a new one. There's nothing wrong with that."
Liam came into his apartment and slammed the door loudly. Yura who was waiting for him on the sofa gasped in surprise then looked back. "She didn't come back with you?" Liam put on an irritated face, "what do you think?!" Yura showed a worried and sad expression. Yet in her heart, the woman cheered with joy. Her inner goddess was even dancing with pom-poms in both hands. "You go home, I just want to be alone," Liam said absolutely. Yura knew he was in a very bad mood because of what happened earlier. Feeling that she had won from Naomi, Yura got up and walked towards Liam then hugged the man from behind. "Let me comfort you, I know you're in a very bad mood." Yura's hand that was hugging him moved slowly to rub his stomach and chest. But Liam brushed it off violently, then freed himself from her embrac
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
