(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)I quietly brew the tea. It is the same tea I made for my grandma. Hibiscus. And for final deliberation of the tea, Sir Venal needs to taste it before I serve it to the CEO. He approached and had a taste. Nodded to confirm the taste passed the quality.I know I am the one who is going to serve the tea. Without prolonging my thought who will be going to save me from doing this, I take an action. I carefully place it in front of him.“Please enjoy your tea, Master Dryzen.” He only grins at me and I am about to move aside when Sir Venal pulled the same chair he previously offer to me. He gives me a look that I need to comply to sit there. A while ago, the food Madam Lilith prepared was removed. I don’t want to become seen as stubborn I obey to sit in the opposite seat of the CEO. I am facing him, and it is uncomfortable. They are insane to let me sit here as if I have a vital role in the company.However, I thought the breakfast was over when freshly cooked dishes arrived. An
(Secretary Venal POV)After Miss Dahlia left the dining room, suddenly Master Dryzen's laugh fill the entire chamber. Everyone feels sudden intimidation, which makes us bow down. His laughed turn into a chuckle, and when he “You know Venal, I think the two weeks given to you are too long. I feel like I will run out of patience with that woman. Of all my husbands in this world, he is the only one who gives me a strange attitude. Fighting but obviously weak. How long will he ignore what I want to happen?"What he says is not good. I hope he doesn't try to rush everything. Two weeks was not enough for me to convince Miss Dahlia to talk to me."Just make sure I don't get bored, and I will do a lot in the number of days I gave you. Shh.”I looked up slightly at my staff and motioned to my fellow assistant to hand me the tablet he was holding. It came to me and gave it. Master Dryzen's full day schedule is all there.“I will do everything Master Dryzen to convince him as soon as possible.”
(Dahlia POV)What special job is that? And I'm itching to ask my co-workers if Secretary Venal talked to them about the special job. To be Master Dryzen's hit? That's what I sensed... But Master Dryzen is not the type to punish women, especially since many of them like him. Handsome, handsome body... Everything a woman wants in a man is in him, that's why many people like him. Even me, I'll admit it... to women too. But now is not the time to flirt, and wrap your arms around the neck of a rich man like Master Dryzen. Gosh. I also have hands and feet to get up on my own. So no."Dahlia, make sure to water all the plants, not just here on the executive floor, the whole floor." I turned to Madam Lilith, whose eyes were full of envy. I just nodded."Answer. Answer properly.” And very disgusted by my presence. So if I do leave this company, he will be the happiest. What did I do to make him upset with me like this?"Yes, Madam Lilith." Gosh. Watering the plant is not a heavy job especially
(Yuki's POV)"Who is Miss Yuki?"“… My Kuya Kai is the one I need to talk to about that matter. When he doesn't agree to be my ghost writer. I'll just kill him. I'm curious about how it feels to kill your fellow writer. I'm going to take his hand first… I'm going to break it… And peel off the fingers while he's still breathing. I'm thinking about how beautiful it is." I saw Mr. swallow saliva. Owen. "Alright Mr. Owen, I know you are also excited to have your pet's story become a movie."“We hope Miss Yuki that you will have many more good stories. Just like The One Who Owns the Deadly Gazed.”I just grinned.And when Mr. left Owen, I called Mr. Cedrick Ma. I know that Kuya Kai won't answer me because I'm bothering him as a person. Doing their dirty work.“Miss Yuki…”"Where is Kuya Kai? Or if not, just tell him I want to eat with him. I know Kuya Kai will give it to me and I will expect you to give me the address where he wants to have lunch.”"Right now Master Kai is busy, but I will
