(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
(Dahlia POV)Because this building is so big, your legs will really struggle. So after I watered all the plants, I rested breathlessly on a bench that I didn't expect when I turned to the window... It was afternoon again. Go home later...I leaned my back against the chair, and was about to close my eyes with…“Dahlia Amelia Ofemia… Tss. Your first name will sound the same as your last name. The person who adopted you deliberately thought about your name." Madam Lilith. I just stood up... "You are being sent to the Executive secretarial office right now." Then it turned back.Executive Secretarial Office... And it was Sir Venal who summoned me. Ah, maybe something needs to be cleaned. Isn't it too early to go home?I did go to his office, but when I arrived there was no one there. So I just sat down because my leg wanted to give up on my high heels. While I was dragging my leg, the door suddenly opened, and two men entered to bring in a large box... I just smiled at them, but they ign
(Dahlia POV)I went to the nearby prison. But the police officers mocked me immediately."Are you here again Miss to report something? There you are. Maybe we'll send you to the Mental Hospital. You are still beautiful but you seem to be lost in your thoughts. Your eyes are far away again. Is it about Kai Carter again? Do you have strong evidence that they took your cousins and aunt?"Then the two sitting at the information desk laughed. It's like I'm a good joke to them.I smiled at them which stopped them. I know that they are afraid of that Kai Carter... There is nothing they can do but close my complaint. After all, I'm here to complain about a Carter again... I really didn't expect this. Can Miss Yuki Carter steal a work that isn't hers?"What I'm just here to ask... What would I do if someone stole someone else's work.""What kind of theft? Is that money that you said turned into papers again?" And the two policemen in front of me laughed again. I just shook my head. I have no h
(Dahlia POV)"Your brother was lacking in what he knew and especially in his knowledge of how to control people. Let me go!” I angrily tried to get out of the two women's grip on me, and they only let go of me when Kai signaled it.“Yuki, my brother it is not nice to take care and cut a wild flower like Dahlia. I want him to be free. So if he says he doesn't want it, he doesn't want it.""But Brother Kai...""Let her go, soon she will be your sister-in-law." Kai Carter gave me a disgusting wink. It is handsome and has a good body, but I don't like their work to control people.“Sister-in-law? Are you sure about that, Brother Kai? That means, he will scold me and…”"More than scolding Miss Yuki, I will make you aware of the fact that this is not how it should be done. But don't worry, it will never happen that I will marry your sister. No!” And I took my sling bag. “I will do everything to prove what needs to be proven. That you two brothers are thieves and swindlers!”Then I walked to
(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
