(Secretary Venal POV)When the lift reached the executive floor, I exit first and led Miss Dahlia to the executive hallway. She follows me quietly until we are about to meet Lilith in the corridor. There is a distance between us, but she already knows who I am with. Her eyes narrowed when she confirmed that it was the newly hired member of the maintenance group., suddenly her face becomes sour."Sir, this is why it is difficult to handle a newbie, she is irresponsible about the protocol. Stubborn to follow even though she already knows the rules. Didn't I tell you, Dahlia, that the specific elevator for the maintenance group is the only lift you will use to come here? Why are you walking here on the executive floor without validating your presence, first? Do this again and I will dismiss you—.”"Good morning Lilith." I cut her words before her admonishment become worst in my ears. “The morning is beautiful for you to have a raised eyebrow. This early morning I receive an order from th
"What?! I will resign right now and I have the right to do so!” Miss Dahlia complained about those blocking her, and she tried to push them away but they remained blocking.Master Dryzen didn't give me a good look.Ts I did not do this Master Dryzen but you."Venal, I was not wrong, he was very interesting. But this new day, another day Venal to convince that woman. I hope my patience doesn't run out soon. You know it's not good to keep me waiting." His eyes didn't play with the words he said to me. "Get her promoted ASAP to my desire position for her and don't let me do it on my own way.""Yes Sir." In addition, it can only be heard from my lips whenever Master Dryzen gives an order, especially in front of some subordinates.Master Dryzen went straight to walking with his men without even looking back at Miss Dahlia.Lilith and I stared at each other. His eyes could not believe what he witnessed. How Miss Dahlia spoke boldly in front of Master Dryzen. I also can't believe that Master
He did follow us, and Lilith prepared well for what I did to him. I pulled a chair in front of the table and it was for Miss Dahlia."Sit down Miss Dahlia." And I dismissed the staff around the room so that Miss Dahlia and I were the only ones here."This isn't really a joke Sir Venal?""I have to force you Miss Dahlia to accept the special job.""You know Sir Venal, don't waste time trying to convince me. The cleaner is enough for me. My salary is already big plus the extra perks I got. Money is not important to me... I just want to finish my work because this hand of mine Sir Venal is itching...""I don't understand Miss Dahlia the reason why your hand itches."“It's itching to write. Because I know that I can do and finish my work immediately. So I have some time to do my hubby.""Are you writing?"“Yes.” He happily responded to me. “My hobbies, and my dream is to have my own movie. What do you think of that Sir Venal?”"I'm happy to hear that Miss Dahlia. So I think you will have
(Secretary Venal POV)“What are you doing? I am going to resign now, and I have the right to do it. My resignation is effective today.” Miss Dahlia said to those men who blocked her. She tried to push them, but they remained stationary and didn’t want to get embarrassed in front of the CEO.Master Dryzen on other hand stared at her and was impressed with her bravery. However, when he stared at me, he gave me a frustrated grin. It was not good.Tsk. Master Dryzen, what is happening now is not me who triggered it, but it was you who did it. Miss Dahlia is far from the women you played with."Venal, I didn’t get wrong about her. That woman is really very interesting. But for you, it is another day to persuade her to accept the special job. Be hopeful of my patience not to run out so soon before the time I have given to you. You know it's not well to keep me waiting.” His eyes are serious and there is no hint of trivialness in his words. “Get her promoted ASAP to my desired position for
(Yuki's POV)Cedrick did stay and just recently talked to my brother about why I couldn't go home yet. Arrogance was attached to the stares Cedrick was giving me. It was as if he knew that I would not succeed in winning back my brother's heart.I know that recipe is only here. I really need that. It's just here.Even I helped in the search. I don't trust the useless staff who serve me. I explored all the shelves and paradors… It was disappointing because there was nothing. Cedrick stood up and approached me.“It's been an hour Miss Yuki? Will Master Kai really wait for nothing? What if you just give up?”“No! Even if I spend the morning looking for a recipe book, as long as I know it's right there, I won't give up. Go home if you want.”Cedrick grinned. "Or are you showing symptoms that you are going crazy?""Going crazy? I'm not crazy Cedrick. I'm in the right frame of mind. Then don't talk to me! I'm just wasting time!”"I'll just give you ten minutes, and I've got Master Kai's appr
Half Truth (Secretary Venal POV)“Sir Venal, I have not done any damage to this company. I just want to resign now for I couldn’t promise if I stay here, I might do something terrible if by chance our boss or somebody else disgraces me like that again.”“Tss. I have warned you, Dahlia, someone like you shouldn't be seen in the executive hallway. You deserve that, stubborn.” Lilith responded instead.“Lilith.” I scolded.Lilith wants to encourage her to persuade her resignation. Show her that she doesn't fit in this company. It is the only way left for her to get out of the company without worrying and effortlessness.“Sir Venal, I hope you understand. It's just... I couldn't stand his profanity. I'm not the kind of woman who will let somebody else insult me. Who is he to do that? He is not the king or creator of every being in this world, to have entitlement to touch anything he wants. Isn’t it?”I sighed in response to her. It might be a simple thing for me to let it pass, but Miss
(Secretary Venal POV)“Sir Venal if you don’t mind please help me out of this. I know you are a good person. Before I came here you already helped me multiple times. You know about my background. However, just like the way you help me, I couldn’t return it back to you by agreeing to what you want. You are wasting time trying to convince me. A job as a cleaner would have been enough for me. The pay is great, and there are a lot of perks. I am already content. But disgrace and having a pervert boss is what I don’t want.”“Miss Dahlia, maybe Master Dryzen was carried away to your beauty and couldn’t restrain himself to—.”She shook her head. “Whatever. It is not what you said Sir Venal. Money is what makes his ego prideful. He can have everything but I couldn’t sell my soul to him.”It is getting worse… Sighed.“Money is not important to me. If it's possible to live without money, that's definitely not impossible for me. So I will not take back my word, I want to proceed with my resignat
(Secretary Venal POV)“For now I reconsider your covenant. But just for now.” She sighed again. Disappointed that she couldn’t able close her deal completely.“Also, Sir Venal, if you care to dissolve the special treatment you are showing to me. I don’t deserve it; I am just a mere janitor. And you couldn’t deny the fact that you are treating me special. Just like now, why would I dare to have breakfast in the executive dining room when my colleagues are restricted even to sitting on one of the seats here? It's not fair on them. And this, it is called special treatment, Sir Venal.”Yeah, however, Miss Dahlia this is not yet the beginning of treating you what you deserve. You’ll be the dragon prince’s wife."Sir Venal, if you give your permission to let me go,” She bowed slightly. "I think my coworkers are doing their job already. I have to do my part. Thank you very much for everything Sir Venal and I am sorry for the inconvenience a while ago. I apologize if I got ill-tempered earli
(Dahlia POV)What time is it? Is Grandma asleep? Did she have a good dinner? Should I wake her up?Many questions are bothering me, but I couldn't help but inform her of my arrival."Grandma, I'm here." As I took off my shoes, and even though I am curious that Grandma didn't answer immediately, I just thought that she might be asleep.The night was getting deep.I hung my sling bag and took out the food that just needed to be heated from the fridge. But to be honest, I didn't feel like eating. But I still put it in the oven to heat it up. Tonight, I want to research what I can do to get my book back from Yuki. If I need an attorney, it may be impossible, but I will look for an affordable one if they charge.I was about to go up to my room when I glanced at Grandma's room door. So I decided to check on her.I opened the door slightly and peered at Grandma's bed. The room was quite dark, so I lit it up. Hopefully, Grandma won't wake up.When her room was lit, she wasn't on her bed. Wher
(Yuki POV)“While those bitches you call, have a status in the association.”I give him a forced smile. "I do not care Cedrick. As long my brother Kai was at my side I would never falter. Why not admit that you are just an envious creature. How pity. My brother Kai values someone like me a lot. Despite of being human, weak? But all my wishes are granted by him. Well, you're just his secretary and nothing more bond to you with my brother, but your job. He just orders you, and you need to obey. If you make him angry, he might punish you with death. Aren't you scared Cedrick?”It is time for me to push him at the truth's edge. “I am more precious than to his own kind.”He smirked. “Fine. Let’s see. I will let you go on your way Miss Yuki and test your brother’s treatment to you. If you thought that we are like dog, that have a sense loyalty to a human, you are in danger Miss Yuki.”“Dog. If you are dog, Cedrick, you will be the most outrageous one.”“Maybe. Especially having you as my ma
(Yuki POV)We arrived at the threshold of the company; I didn't bother to go to the reception desk. I went straight to the executive floor. And all the eyes I pass are normally peculiar, mostly werewolves. Why should I be surprised, Brother Kai was their Grand Alpha in this generation. Walking with a confidence I didn’t bother about my safety, who are they to attack their Grand Alpha's beloved sister? I was especially escorted with Grand Alpha’s men, and they were recognized by their fellow.I come here once a blue moon, after brother Kai talked to me after my previous visit. He warns me personally that it is dangerous for me. It might be too late for an attack if the newbies aren't informed about me.I knew the way exactly to his office, since there are no major changes. When I got to his office, the guard on the door met my gaze and I expected them to recognize me. They did as they opened the door. Even though I hadn't seen yet my brother, I greeted him sweetly, but it was wasted fo
(Yuki POV)When Mr. Owen left, I walked around the garden while the servants were taking care of the dog that I murdered. When I couldn't find peace and calm myself, I returned to their presence. They immediately halted to what they were doing and slightly bowed in front of me."Call Cedrick right now.” I take a seat. “I don't care what he's doing right now, I just want to know the whereabouts of my brother.""But Miss Yuki, the Master instruction will be violated, especially these hours, we should not disturb them.” The butler cares to respond."I know.” I looked at him. “But the only one that I respect is my brother Malcolm. Cedrick is my intention to be disturbed. You heard me clearly, right? It is him I want you to phone, not my brother. Don’t be stupid.”The butler bowed, even though there’s a hesitation but he couldn’t defy my words. He signals one of his men to phone the mere secretary of my brother.When Cedrick answered the call I couldn't wait to grab the phone from the butl
(Yuki's POV)“And who is she Miss Yuki? As you refer her as ‘her.’” I caught his curiosity.“You, yourself gave me that idea having a ghost writer. Didn’t you?” I didn’t bother to answer his inquisitiveness. But confirm with a nod. He likes the idea not only I would have an assistant to my career, also to divert my mood and he sees some hope that I won't take my anger out on him.“Though there is a problem finding her. It is only my brother who can tell me where I can find her. But it's just a simple problem not to compromise your time especially in part of my brother. Tss. She is just a mere aspiring writer. It is easily to find her. If she declines me even though I place a few cases of money in front of her, she is prideful of herself. Didn’t she, Mr. Owen.”“I agree with you on that Miss Yuki.” Tsk. He always agreed in front of me. “I know she will not decline you.”“I hope so. I hope she is like you who sells his integrity.” Then I grinned at him. I slap him with my words so good.
Alexandra POV)“Tss. This is the reason why you are willing to visit me? I think I need to repeat myself again Mr. Owen. If they make a movie adoption, won't there be a lot of maggots stealing my idea? Make it as a cliché. Get some inspiration and they will make a different version so that it won't be seen that they plagiarized it? Don’t you get it Mr. Owen?”In truth, the real reason behind is I don’t want to make the story famous that I didn’t write. If I let them make a movie adoption, it is obvious that a lot of movie enthusiast will love it. It is like a silent bullet for myself, that proves there is someone better than me.I hate it. I don’t want to lose to that mere commoner!Dahlia… Who are you to take everything away from me?! I need to put an end of this.“Miss Yuki. Please consider and think about it. We both aware that this is possible to your story. It is also part of the contract you signed with our company."“Tss. How sweet. Owww. Thank you for your concern but I am not
(Yuki POV)I couldn’t wait him without doing something. I might end up killing those around me.“Prepared the garden for me and gather those ingredients for brewing the tea.”“As you wish Miss Yuki.” They hurriedly move and before I can reach the garden, they settle the things that I need. I am determined to beat that woman. I hate her. I really do. Even though I didn’t meet her in person. In case it happened I might kill her.Brewing some various type of tea in garden might help me inspired. However, I ended up wasting the ingredients without determining the proper brewing her tea. Tsk. What is her magic? If the taste of my tea didn’t satisfied me, it is also means that brother Kai will don’t like it. Of course he will compliment my effort but hide the fact that I couldn’t beat his woman’s tea. Bulsh*t! Tsk.The butler arrived and bowed in my presence. “Miss Yuki, your editor has arrived.”“Show him the way here.”Mr. Owen was escorted in, and when he saw me, he greeted me with a c
(Yuki's POV)Everything seems placid to me. Too comfortable early in the morning. Taking a welcome breath of the moist air. It is fresh and too serenity. I guess there a group of people praising my name without my knowing. I will be glad.“Miss Yuki!” I incline my head toward the direction where the voice come. “You have a call. It is from Mr. Owen.” It is the butler.I immediately got up from my seat, and approached the butler before he could get to me. I grab the phone, and Mr. Owen happily greeted me in the line. I know it is impossible to reject the manuscript I sent to him. It is my hurl to them and will change their perspective about my stain reputation. They will be glad, satisfied and flattery words will never omit again. No one will gonna believe now how they discriminate me. I am still the best writer, ever. Tsk.“Good morning Mr. Owen. Your call, I expect that you have a good reason.”“Miss Yuki, your so awesome! I am delighted with your masterpiece. The novel you submitted
(Secretary Venal POV)After Miss Dahlia makes her exit the tension grows more intense. There is a deafening silent when suddenly Master Dryzen laughter fill the entire chamber. Everyone feels an intimidation, which makes us bow down in his direction. His laughed turn into a chuckle.He is entertained. “You know Venal, I think the two weeks I have given to you are too long. It seems like century. I think I might run out of my patience for you to persuade that woman. Of all the women I married, she is the only one who gives me a strange attitude. She struggles to fought but it was obvious that she is weak. How long will she stand to decline my offer? She is getting into my nerves.”I admit, what he is telling me is not good to hear. Still rooting he doesn’t try to rush this matter. Two weeks was not enough for me to convince his chosen. Having a tea with her is tough to request."Just make sure I don't get bored and have my schedule full for I wouldn’t dare to cut my given time to yo
