Enrico stepped lightly over to where Liam and Naomi had just fought. Both Liam and Naomi had left. He picked up his suit that was sitting on the grass with a small grin adorning his handsome face.
"Liam Hwang ...." He muttered under his breath. "You're a stupid man."
He walked with the suit he had picked up without wearing it and went back into the party. Actually, he was lazy to attend a small, insignificant party like this if Naomi wasn't there.
During the event, Enrico does not wear the suit and just hangs it on his arm. Normally he would throw it away as soon as someone else touched the thing he was wearing, but this time his ego wanted Liam to see and know his ownership of the suit Naomi was wearing tonight.
The man deliberately approached Mr. Park is chatting with Liam and Hwang Jae Pyo, Liam's father.
"Mr. Park, congratulations on the anniversary of your club. I
"Sis, what do you think Mom left for us?" Naomi took a deep breath before finally shaking her head slowly. "I don't know, Clara. I couldn't figure it out at all, I'm also very curious." Naomi's gaze was fixed on a small box that she was currently holding. Right now they were on the bed in her bedroom with Clara sitting cross-legged in front of her. She looked at Clara intently. "Are you ready, Cla?" "Come on, quickly open the box!" said Clara, nodding enthusiastically. Not long after, the two of them stared at each other with confused faces when they found that the contents in the box were a key along with some folded paper underneath. "What is this key, Eonni?" Clara asked as she reached for the key. Naomi unfolded the paper and read it, her brow furrowed in confusion when she found it was a bank document. "This is the key to the safe at the ban
Naomi took a deep breath and then let it out slowly, she looked at the key in her hand doubtfully, but in the end, she still, put the key in the safe hole. Currently, she is at the bank to retrieve the file that his mother kept in this place. She opened the safe cell, then took out a stack of papers stored in there with a frown on her forehead in confusion. Naomi turned page after page of the papers with trembling hands, tears slowly dripping down the paper as she stopped at the page that contained the agreement and the initial share distribution when her father's company was founded. Naomi's body swayed, suddenly felt weak when there was her mother's name as the initial owner of 80% of the company's initial shares currently managed by her father, as well as the house deed in her mother's name. She leaned against the row of safe cells that lined up while holding her chest which was throbbing in pain as the memory f
Not long after, little Naomi returned to the house with several neighbors along with the arrival of an ambulance which had previously been contacted by one of the neighbors who helped her. Naomi hugged Clara who kept crying when her mother was carried on a gurney by the medical personnel, Clara's heart disease recurred and she dropped as soon as her mother was taken into the ambulance. Until this is where Naomi is, along with a neighbor who is willing to help her in front of the emergency room where her mother and Clara are receiving medical treatment. The man crouched down in front of Naomi, rubbed her shoulder lightly then said, "Little girl, do you have a family phone number to call? You won't be able to handle everything alone ... and I won't be able to keep you company any longer." Naomi just shook her head in response. But she said, "Uncle, may I ask you a favor?"
The security guard ran towards him just as the elevator doors closed. He cursed in annoyance and then rushed to the top floor where the CEO's room was located, use the emergency stairs to catch and chase the woman away. On the top floor, the elevator doors opened. Naomi walked broadly into her father's room without even greeting or asking the secretary whose desk was at the front of the room. "Wait, Miss!" The secretary immediately stood up and rushed after her when Naomi was about to open the door. But Naomi had already opened the door violently until it was wide open. Lee Jong In and Lee Ga Eun jumped in surprise when the door opened and hit the wall causing a loud banging sound. The secretary held Naomi's hand and said, "Miss, you are prohibited from trespassing." Inside the room, Lee Jong In and Lee Ga Eun were about to leave the room, but Nao
Lee Jong In picked up the papers that were scattered on the floor after Naomi left his room, then he let out a rough breath as soon as he knew what was inside. "Carol, so this is what you left them with," he muttered under his breath. Meanwhile, Lee Ga Eun dropped her buttocks on the sofa saying, "Dad, she's so impudent! Why don't you scold her?" "Fighting with her in the office will only lower my dignity." Lee Jong In looked at her briefly, then returned to focus on the paper in his hand and squeezed it tightly. "Naomi already knows everything, from now on she will definitely not be silent." Ga Eun waved a hand, in a nonchalant tone she said, "Never mind, Dad. What can she do anyway? Just an athlete and owner of a small restaurant, someone who doesn't have the strength doesn't seem to be able to do anything." (*) <Seventeen years ago> Naomi's little feet stepped
Before Naomi had finished speaking, Lee Jong In had interrupted her speech. "You came all the way just to report that to me? Your mom is weak so you don't have to overdo it. I don't have much time, so go home! I'll have the driver take you home later." When Lee Jong In was about to close the car window again, Naomi held the glass that was moving up with her small hand. "Ouch!" She let out a low scream as his palms pinched, causing Lee Jong In to reflexively lower the car window glass. "Are you crazy?" said her father angrily. Naomi just grimaced, but she ignored her reddened hands, and with a pitiful face she said, "Dad, I beg you! Mom is dying in the hospital, Clara has collapsed too. If I could have done everything myself I wouldn't have come here and begged you." Naomi, who was only eight years old, was forced to become a
"Enrico, can I see you?" There is a chuckle on the other side. "What's the matter? If it's not too important, maybe next time, because I'm tired right now." "I don't know if this is important to you or not, I ..." Naomi closed her eyes for a moment, before finally saying, "I want to offer you a deal." "A deal? Did I hear you wrong?" "Not at all," Naomi said confidently. "It seems that you are very confident in your decision ...." Naomi didn't answer, she knew the man hadn't finished speaking yet. "Well, you're in luck because I just got back from America and am taking the day off to rest. Come over to my penthouse now." Even though she knew the grave consequences she would face, Naomi didn't seem the least bit afraid. "I will come." She ended the call. Then confidently he started
"I will be your woman, subject to all your power ... and in return, you must help me." Enrico caught Naomi's finger moving sensually against the shirt-lined chest, "what kind of help?" he asked then pulled her index finger into his mouth and sucked it slowly. "I need your support to take over the ownership of shares in Lee Jong In's company. I want to throw them back on the streets because that's where they should belong. All the wealth they have enjoyed so far belongs to my mother, who for the rest of her life has always cried in agony." Naomi's face looks very serious and ambitious. It looks like the reality she just received hit her hard, she implied that one of the reasons her mother suffered to death was because of her new father and family. So it's only natural that this reality has changed Naomi so much. "Are you sure?" Enrico stared deep into Naomi's amber eyes. "Let's just sa
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
