"But, what should I do with that girl?" Nicolas let out a long sigh as he swiveled his swivel chair with his limp legs.Just the thought of talking to Dianne put him in a bad mood, let alone discussing this one thing with her.Nicolas extended his hand to the right, opened the desk drawer, and took out a box of cigars from inside. Yes, the old Nicolas was back, as his memory had returned in its entirety, and the CEO had resumed some of his habits.He put the cigar to his mouth and then flanked it with his lips. From under his coat, Nicolas took out a metal lighter that was dove black in color. He lit the end of the cigarette with the lighter which gave off a blue flame, then puffed out the smoke a few times before the man finally took a deep drag on the cigarette.Nicolas exhaled the smoke in a relaxed manner. Moments later, he let out a small chuckle. "It's funny to think that I never smoked after the amnesia. What was I thinking back then, huh?" he laughed as he looked at the burnt
Nicolas had grabbed Dianne's hand as she was about to leave in a state of irritation and anger. The man didn't know why he had to hold this girl back when his hatred and disappointment should have stopped her.Dianne turned around, the girl felt a sensation of pleasure and relief when it turned out that Nicolas finally responded to something towards her, Even though the man was so indifferent today but at least Nicolas was holding her hand."What?" asked Dianne who half-turned around, but still cast a teary-eyed gaze at the man."Did you just ask me why I'm behaving like this?" Forced to continue his body's spontaneity so as not to appear unstable, Nicolas held Dianne's arm.Dianne frowned, now fully turned around to look at Nicolas standing in front of her. 'So it's true? There is something that is the reason Nicolas is suddenly cold?' the girl thought, waiting for Nicolas' next sentence.Nicolas pondered, should his next sentence be an admission that he had regained his memory of hi
But the nightmare came, too. Dianne had no idea that the amnesia Nicolasa had been suffering from for the past few months would end at a time when the girl hadn't even managed to speak her truth.Now, however, Nicolas was already angry and the man was back to his former cruel and merciless CEO self."I'm dead! I swear! You're a fool, Dianne!" The girl cursed herself while Dianne was on the rooftop of the company building.When Dianne was feeling tired from all the stress she had received during her time as an intern secretary, the girl often came to this rooftop to release her stress. Receiving various scoldings and intimidation from Nicolas made Dianne refresh her mind on this rooftop.After Nicolas' accident and amnesia, Dianne almost never went to the roof of the company building anymore. Of course, it was because he never scolded her again, especially since Nicolas had fallen in love with her.But now, the girl was back here when Nicolas' memory had returned."Hell no!!!" Dianne s
Dianne even got goosebumps when she saw the order of the displays on the decorative table that looked so symmetrical and very well organized. There was not a speck of dust on the table."Nicolas is really creepy." Dianne shook her head. She tried to distract herself from her unpleasant feelings so that she could be more relaxed when facing Nicolas later.She would explain everything and confess all her lies and mistakes. It was the only thing she could do."Then, after that, I will tell Nicolas about Andreas. If Andreas really is Nicolas' biological father, then at least he will help me," Dianne thought.Dianne was literally a resourceful woman without the girl realizing it. A few months ago she recklessly went to Nicolas' villa just to vent all the anger she had been holding in during her time as the CEO's intern secretary. Then, after that Dianne also recklessly lied about being a fake fiancé once she realized Nicolas had amnesia and because the girl had been cornered by police accu
"You're a cruel girl, Dianne! You're cruel!" accused Nicolas, his eyes bulging in defiance, his heart aching. "At a time when I gave you my heart, and you managed to deceive me, you didn't even show the slightest intention of being honest with me, even though we weren't lovers, to begin with!""Nicolas... me." Dianne shook her head. She didn't want to let Nicolas think that she didn't care about this at all. Dianne wanted him to know that she felt a huge amount of guilt every day. She hadn't slept well since she found out he loved her."If only you had been honest in the middle of all this, maybe... I wouldn't have been so disappointed. What makes me hate you so much is that you took this all as a joke. You must have been so happy when I gave you my love and considered you my real fiancée," Nicolas babbled, his exclamations loud and echoing in the living room of the luxurious penthouse."You know what, Nicolas? It was never in my heart to let this go on. Even though I know you love me
Dianne reached for the ceramic mug perched in the storage cabinet at the top of the penthouse's kitchen set. That morning she was about to make coffee to put into practice the knowledge she had gained during her part-time job at the café in the past three months.The return of Nicolas' memory and the CEO's return to his former ruthless nature made Dianne realize that she had to realize her dream of owning her own coffee shop.Nicolas came from the direction of the living room and walked with a slight stagger. He had been a little drunk last night, but Dianne was grateful that Nicolas hadn't done anything to hurt her. All that was left was the pain in her heart and the guilt.Dianne had stayed at the penthouse last night, which was lucky because it was Sunday. Nicolas was the one who told her to stay over because he wanted to talk to her about something with a clear mind.Unlike her usual sleeping in the master suite, Dianne slept in the guest room on the top floor of the penthouse. It
Dianne, who was getting ready to go for home this morning, asked, "So what do you want to talk about?" The girl was not planning on staying at the penthouse. Being aware that she was no longer playing the part of Nicholas' fiancée made the girl uncomfortable.Inhaling deeply, Nicholas let out a big sigh as he gazed out the penthouse's glass window. What should I do in light of all of your lies, in your opinion? He made an effort to remain calm throughout.Dianne answered, putting on an innocent expression, "Kill me."“You believe that's possible? Nicholas rolled his eyes. You want to turn me into a murderer after misleading me and telling me these lies, aren't you?" With a frustrated expression on his face, Nicolas accused. "You're selfish, Dianne!"Dianne shook her head, "I didn't mean it like that." I mean, it's as if there's nothing I can do but demand that one penalty from you. "But I don't want to add to your worries," she continued, a tiny imploring tone in her voice.Nicholas a
"Damn, it must be Andreas. Who else is watching my every move but that old bastard!" cursed Dianne to herself. At a time when she was facing a major conflict with Nicolas, the girl also had to deal with Andreas' threats.The girl continued her steps out of Nicolas' penthouse yard. She stopped a taxi that happened to be passing by and went back to her house still in a state of shock.Nothing worried Dianne more than Nicolas' anger at her. Even for her, making amends to him was more important than thinking about Andreas.'Asking me to smuggle a million dollars for him? That's ridiculous and impossible!' Dianne thought on her way home.-o0O0o-Nicolas rubbed his temples as the man read through some of the news reports that had been tarnishing his image lately. His competitors created all sorts of slanders, which made his company's revenue decline slightly from the last few trimesters.The stock of his company has also fallen quite a bit and reached its lowest level ever."This is bad, re
