The moment the bathroom door was pushed open, Dimas’s gaze froze on the floor tiles in front of him, and his urgent voice rang out immediately, “What happened?”When Harmonia heard his voice, she curled up and hugged her body immediately.She quickly looked toward the direction of the door. Fortunately, the dry and wet areas were separated by a glass partition. The glass was completely fogged up, and visibility was even more obscure in this pitch-black environment with the surrounding hot steam. It could be said that it was impossible to see anything clearly. After a while, there was still no response in the spacious bathroom. Dimas became anxious as he said, “Monia, say something.”He did not refer to her as Miss Marsh, and the word that came out of his mouth was—Monia.Harmonia trembled, tightening her arms around herself even more as she explained bluntly, “I had just finished taking a bath and wanted to change clothes when there was a sudden power outage. I slipped on the f
It was definitely not okay for him to carry her out in this situation. He was a very powerful and masculine man. It would be too dangerous for her if he were to carry her in her current state. Dimas looked at Harmonia and felt a surge of desire and longing simply by looking at her. He silently recited some Buddhist scriptures and relied on his strong self-control to turn around and leave. Harmonia looked at his back and then glanced at her current state before preparing to attempt to stand up again.Unexpectedly, Dimas’s voice suddenly sounded in the next second, “Be good, don’t move.”Harmonia was stunned for a moment. Her hand that was holding the edge of the bathtub suddenly froze in place. She looked at his imposing figure through the foggy glass, feeling somewhat confused. When he suddenly appeared in front of her again, he placed another immensely large bath towel over her head, wrapping her up tightly. Dimas squinted. This was perfect. He wouldn’t think about it if he
Dimas was obviously dissatisfied with the remark ‘owner's boyfriend’. He raised an eyebrow and corrected Titus, “Change it to ‘family member’.”Titus nodded vigorously, resembling a chick pecking at grains as he replied, “Yes, yes, that’s a good title. It’s simple and direct and can be described in two simple words.” Dimas responded, closed the villa door, and walked back to Harmonia with the ointment. “The property manager came to inquire about the power supply,” Dimas explained concisely.He then slowly opened the ointment cap. Upon seeing this, Harmonia immediately retracted her leg, but Dimas grabbed it and forcibly extended it.“Dimas Martinez!” Harmonia yelled out his full name. “Yes?”Harmonia was furious. “Who’s the boss here?!”“You.” He confirmed. “In that case, let go of my leg immediately!”“I’m sorry, but I cannot comply.”“I’m the boss!”He was ignoring his boss's orders! Was this employee really rebelling?!“I am a good employee for the sake of my boss.
Harmonia widened her eyes in shock as she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. ‘Damn it, Dimas Martinez! What on earth are you talking about?!’ Harmonia was so angry that she wanted to kick him.“Monia, what's going on?” There was a noticeable change in Hector’s tone. His tone was still gentle but carried a sense of urgency. Harmonia explained, “Hector, I injured my ankle, right? One of my employees working overtime today is proficient in physiotherapy, so he’s applying medicine and massaging my ankle for me to help it heal faster.”Dimas smiled helplessly. Just a moment ago, he was a person who had to be hidden. Now, he had another visible identity: a physiotherapist. His smile deepened as he looked at Harmonia.This time, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, “Miss Marsh, since you’re the one who’s asking me to massage your ankle, you should behave and stop moving.”Harmonia thought to herself, ‘Damn it! Did I fall into Dimas’s trap?! It seems like it, huh?’
“My employee?”Dimas’s lips twitched slightly upon hearing this word. He remained silent as he did not know whether to be angry or amused. Employee? Hah. She was really daring to answer that way!The next moment, he picked Harmonia up from the sofa without saying a word. “Dimas Martinez, what are you doing again?!” Harmonia was startled.“Can't you tell? I’m carrying you.” His eyes looked calm, and his short hair covered his eyes. Harmonia could not see the look in his eyes or sense his emotions at the moment. However, she could vaguely feel his displeasure. Was it because of the word ‘employee’? She hadn't said anything wrong. He was her employee. Did he want her to say that he was her uncle instead? However, she and Absalom were already divorced.Dimas suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked down at Harmonia with an incredibly sharp gaze. “I'm not interested in being your uncle.”Harmonia was dumbfounded. How did he read her thoughts?Dimas carried Harmonia back into
So, he was really just an employee to her? Damn it! His status was even lower than her brother and her ex-husband. It felt as if he was in heaven one moment and had fallen to hell in the next moment.Dimas lowered his head and felt a surge of emotions as he looked at the girl in his arms who was holding the umbrella for him. Harmonia felt Dimas’s gaze, raised her head, and met his deep and profound eyes. The two of them stared at each other in the rain for nearly ten seconds before Harmonia spoke up, “Mr. Martinez, what's the situation now?”Dimas’s eyes flickered slightly, and his expression was still deep and unreadable. He did not say anything and just simply continued to carry her toward the direction of the laboratory.The villa where the laboratory was located was pitch black. Upon entering, only the sound of the door closing could be heard. Before Harmonia could reach out to turn on the light, Dimas had already placed her on the entrance cabinet by the door.The next momen
Was she hiding the photo? She was even hiding it so well. Did this mean that she treasured it? It seemed that it was not as if she did not have any feelings for him at all. Dimas smiled, dispelling his previous unhappiness. After making precise color adjustments, he began repairing the mural. Harmonia sat there, picked up the documents on the table, and carefully examined them. This was a list of items needed for the reconstruction of the west building of Empyrean Tower. Louis had already compiled the entire list with the team and even made a price estimate. Materials like yellow rosewood, Persian cedarwood, and red sandalwood, needed for the reconstruction, were easily accessible through Marsh Consortium’s timber company with extremely rich channel resources. After all, their ancestors had made a fortune with timber.After experiencing turbulent times, the Marsh family had been through ups and downs. Eventually, the ancestors had made a decisive move, continuing the old busines
Harmonia hesitated and pursed her lips. “I won't ask you to commit murder and arson, Miss Marsh.” He could not bear to do so.Harmonia nodded, “Okay, I agree.”Dimas’s smile gradually deepened. Harmonia held her forehead and wondered, ‘Did I get tricked again? Is my employee setting me up again?’However, she had no other choice. After all, he had access to the old jade mines. A powerful figure such as Zov had all three qualities; money, power, and fame. Even if Harmonia revealed her identity and found Zov, she might not be able to secure the old jade mines without someone to build the connection and help her. After all, the raw materials from old jade mines were valuable, and Zov must have had his own reasons for not exploiting them over the years.While Harmonia was lost in thought, Dimas had already picked her up from her seat.Harmonia widened her eyes and asked, “What are you doing now?”He walked toward a sofa not far away where the employees took breaks and placed
