2024-10-29 19:42:56The bright sun pulled her back to her senses as she stepped outside of the hotel. She hailed a cab letting them know her destination. The driver pulled off in a hurry to beat the morning traffic. Akiaya looked at the time to see she still had a few hours before she would need to be ready an presentable for work. The desire to call her father and tell him she wasn't well was very enticing but despite the events of last night and this morning her job was more important to her. Nothing and no one would keep her from reaching her goal. Especially that dumb joke made by Takeyasu. Whatever he was thinking she knew he needed his head examined.
She was close to her destination when her phone rang. The number had been programmed in her phone as "my one and only." She looked confused and let it continue to ring. The only person she had ever been in love with was Victor Johnston and he never had her number, so she couldn't grasp who it would have been. Her phone rang once more from

The driver got there on time as always and waited for Akiaya to come down. She normally comes down by 8:15 but when she didn't arrive, he grew anxious. When it was thirty minutes past her usual leave time he phoned the CEO. "Sir, Miss Akiaya hasn't come down yet…" Just as he was about to ask what did he want to do she came down the stairs. "My apologies sir she's here now." The call ended before Akiaya got in. "Hello Ryeo. Sorry for being late." She elegantly got in. Ryeo rushed to the driver's side after closing the door. Ryeo put his foot on the accelerator and the car lurched before speeding off into the morning traffic.It took longer for her to get to the office than normal. When she finally arrived her father, Geun Hye, was waiting outside the doors with his arms folded across his chest and a scowl displayed on his face. She knew her dad would be extremely upset if he found out what happened last night. His only daughter sullying herself with a stranger no le

Takeyasu didn't take long to ladle a bowl of doenjiang jigae. He then grabbed a banana, apple, and pear. Walking slowly he made it back to his seat. Seeing her satisfied smile gave him butterflies in his stomach. He did his best to keep his features from betraying how he truly felt in that moment. He watched her eat her breakfast with gusto. It was oddly cute and familiar to him. Takeyasu wanted to cement this memory in his mind forever. Sneakily he took out his phone and captured her stuffing a piece if pancake in her mouth, Akiaya eyes were closed and a dribble of whipped cream was on the corner if her mouth. He put away his phone. "Heh." That caused her to look up mid bite of another mouthful.Akiaya brow furrowed at the sound, looking up at him she spoke, "Wut?! I'm allowed.." She swallowed what was left in her mouth before speaking again. "I'm allowed to eat as I please. The food is delectable. If you have a problem with it then go f*ck yourself." Holding his hands

Victor couldn't believe the text he had received from Takeyasu, "…. Talk me up to Miss Akiaya.." it was ludicrous. Akiaya was the epitome of mousey women in his eyes, but she had managed to capture Takeyasu attention, his best friend who happened to ooze sex appeal. Maybe she was more unruly outside of the office than he realized. Victor always thought she was quiet and reserved seeing as she pushed herself to be promoted from a mail clerk to assistant to the CEO in just a short two years. That or she used her feminine wiles on her bosses then black mailed them afterwards. No, she's too innocent to be that way in his eyes.Victor gathered his things and headed for the elevators. He had been hoping that with all the hours he'd been investing into the company, that old man Geun Hye would turn the company over to him, but short of marrying Akiaya; something he didn't want to do, he could only work hard and hope that Akiaya gave up on the business. His assistant got in the elevato

Victor couldn't believe his ears at the spirit he heard from her. He looked positively shocked at her. "Miss Akiaya, wait a moment. I believe you misunderstand my intentions." He stood up abruptly and reached for her wrist. Victor didn't expect what happened next to ever happen. Akiaya used his body weight against him and flipped Victor inside the restaurant. She then twisted his wrist to grab his attention. "Never touch me without permission. Got it. Now if I misunderstood then please enlighten me. Now!" She began to twist it slightly to apply just the right amount of pressure. "I asked you to lunch to talk about a friend of mines. Please let me go. You have my dominant hand you nut job!" He thought for a moment she wouldn't relinquish his hand but to his surprise she let it go and then bowed to him in remorse. "I apologize for the disturbance. Shall we sit and discuss this friend of yours?" The difference between Akiaya then and now in Victor's eyes was incredible. He was learning

Marna decided since the little heiress was in a comatose state of mind, that she would join them. She flagged down a wait staff to bring her a chair to sit in. She took a seat in between the two of them. A waiter rushed over to add a third pair of silverware to the table. Marna gave them a smile that showed her dazzling white teeth. The waiter was temporarily love struck by it. So stricken that he nearly ran right into her chair. Marna couldn't help but giggle. Victor on the other hand looked as if his jaw would break from tension. Marna reached out her hand and roughly grasped his chin. "Victor fix your face dear you look as if you're going to fight someone." It took that action for Akiaya to snap out of her daze. She reached over and grabbed Marna hand, causing her to scratch Victor's face with her nails. "I don't care if you're so-called relatives or not. You're being to familiar with him. He is my cousin's fiancée. So keep your hands to yourself dear." There was no smile or warm

Akiaya trailed behind him like a sheep following a shepherd. She wanted to look back, but before she could even think to do it his voice wafted to her ears. "Don't look back. She thrives on being a nuisance." Obediently, she tried her best to keep pace with him. They managed to get a far enough distance from the restaurant, when a loud rumble stopped them both. Victor turned to look at her and she looked at him in return. "What?! I'm hungry. Geez, I'm pretty sure you are as well." Just before he was going to protest another growl spurt forth in time to shut his mouth. "See!" Akiaya pulled her wrist from his hand and grabbed her phone, going into her messages, she started to send a message to Chef Xeno. "We still have time so what do you want from Chef Xeno? I would prefer being at the company, now that I've been subjected to that abhorrent woman, where her likes cant just walk in."

Takeyasu received the message from Victor. A frown spoiled his handsome features when he read the message. He instantly got angry. Who could she like other than Victor? Was she still planning on carrying a torch for him and love only him. He never once thought that Akiaya was an imbecile but at that moment he for sure thought her love for Victor was clouding her mind. Takeyasu was willing to give her his everything for nothing in return, but she still pinned after his best friend. He was livid, nothing he thought could even be spoken out loud or even said through text. Instead he just ignored the message and went to the hotel gym. He figured if he was going to be angry, might as well channel it into something positive and work out a plan to win her over. He couldn't give up on her without a fight. There had to be away for him to get her to give up on Victor and fall for him. The night they made love was the best night of his life. It was the first time he was passionate and gentle w

Geun Hye was going over paperwork when a knock was heard on the door. He looked up to see Akiaya walking in as if nothing happened. He knew she was with Victor out to lunch because it was extremely rare for Tye to be away from Victor and he happened to overhear Victor asking her to lunch. Geun Hye thought that this was the guy he teased her about the day before, but Victor couldn't have Akiaya she as too precious and pure for the likes of him. Victor may be a handsome man, even an intelligent man, but he was still as cunning as a fox and the best predator in the business. He just knew that Victor wanted the family company. All of Victor's clients gave praises at how ruthless he can be and how sincere he showed them when he was lobbying for their benefits. No, this man could not have his sweet angel. Akiaya was his precious girl. Geun Hye would kill him before he could deflower her. His face started to twist in anger when he felt a thump on he head. "Dad if you keep frowning like tha

Takeyasu was just about to walk inside the hospital when he saw the same man from earlier. He stopped at the door, unwilling to go inside. Did she really let go of her feelings for him or was this just a coincidence? The man didn't see him when Takeyasu made up his mind to go in.
