"I'm okay, River. I-"
"Is it okay? You fainted in the bathroom, how can something like that be okay?" River interrupted Daisy's words angrily. His concern could be seen clearly through his expression and tone, making Daisy speechless because she felt guilty for making River worry about her like this.
River then turned his gaze to the doctor standing behind him. "I want her thoroughly examined. You have to really make sure she's okay!" he ordered.
"But I-"
"Obey me, Daisy!" River interrupted Daisy again, this time in a sharp, high tone, which he usually used to get people to obey him.
And it worked on Daisy too. The command River gave her managed to make her lower her head. Even though it was difficult for her to get used to River, now with only 3 words, the man said managed to make Daisy feel pressured again with his intimidating aura.
"I'm sorry," Daisy squeaked after the doctor left the luxurious VVIP room.
"I was taking a sh
"Oh my God!" Zoey exclaimed, raising her palm to cover her mouth. "River found you passed out on the bathroom floor?" "I just slipped and fainted for a bit, so you don't have to worry—" "I'm not worried about you!" Zoey quickly cut Daisy off. But before the woman misunderstood, she quickly added, "I mean, of course I'm really worried about you! But you seem fine, and now I'm really worried about River." Daisy looked at Zoey with confusion that was very clear on her face. "Why should you be worried about him? He's fine." "I don't think he's feeling well because you opened the box with painful memories," said Zoey. This made Daisy even more confused, not understanding what kind of mistake she had made that allowed her to open River's box of bad memories. "Do you know how River's father died?" asked Zoey, who was answered with a shake by Daisy. "His father died in the bathroom of a heart attack. No one knew about it until River found out after ab
"You said it was the cheapest room? How can the cheapest room look that luxurious?"Through a video call on his phone, Rion looked at Eric's face, which seemed very enthusiastic when he showed him the room he had booked at the Golden Tree Hotel. It made Rion feel guilty when he realized that his younger brother, who was still very young, had seen more bad things in his life, so something like this could amaze him."Soon, this hotel will be mine. And after it happens, you can choose whichever room you like. You may make the most expensive room yours. So bear with me a little more. We are almost close to our goal," said Rion.After disconnecting the phone from Eric, Rion lay on the soft bed. His two eyes stared at the room's ceiling, decorated by the chandelier."$1100," Rion muttered. "Even one night's rent for the cheapest room in this hotel is more than my monthly rent. I can't imagine how much this hotel can earn in just one night."Rion had neve
"Since that would be my first heartbreak, could you still be nice until the end, even if you don't like me anymore and want to dump me?"While observing her, River listened to every word that came out of Daisy's mouth. He could feel Daisy's desire to start a new relationship with him, but he could also see doubts in the woman's eyes.River directed his right palm to touch Daisy's left cheek. Touch it gently and caress it carefully."Why should I break your heart? I don't even want to hurt you, Daisy." River said in a whisper that sounded so sincere.River's words made Daisy feel touched and doubtful at the same time. She believed that at this time River was saying all of that sincerely to her, but she doubted that River could continue to keep his words because it seemed that in this world, no love comes only with happiness without hurt or pain.But for now, Daisy put aside her doubts and let River's sweet promise make her happy. She touched the back of River's hand still on her cheek.
"Don't this face remind you of someone?"Since the first time he saw Rion at the hospital, River had felt familiar with the man's face. And now, after hearing the man ask him that question, River became even more sure that Rion looked like someone he knew.But River wanted to avoid falling into Rion's game. River sounded arrogant and condescending, saying, "Yeah, you look like the bum I used to see littering the corners of the city."Rion didn't expect to get such an insulting answer from River. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, River had preceded him by saying, "This is not a place where just anyone can be. So please leave this place before I call security to drag you away!"Rion gritted his teeth. His two eyes stared intently at River as, in a hissing voice, he said, "Arrogant bastard. Enjoy it all while you can because you'll soon lose it all."River responded to Rion's threat by blinking his eyes as if it wasn't a big deal for him to worry about. His eyes foll
"Wow... Is it you, Miss Winter?" asked Sean, who couldn't hide his admiration for Daisy. "How did you suddenly turn into– Aw!"Sean couldn't continue praising Daisy because River suddenly hit him on the head with a thick folder. He glared at the man, but River responded with an even fiercer glare."Get out!" River shouted. "Who allowed you to stare at my Daisy like that, huh?""Your Daisy?" Sean repeated mockingly."Zoey is waiting for you outside." Daisy interrupts before River responds to Sean and keeps the two arguing."Oh, of course. Then I'm going to meet my Zoey now!" Sean responded to River by childishly emphasizing the word "my Zoey.""What kind of surprise is this?" When Sean left the room, River wasted no time rushing to Daisy. He left his seat and stood with his back against the table, looking at Daisy, who was standing before him, with adoring eyes."Zoey and I did another fashion show today. And because the results
"Ah, damn it! I really can't work!"River ruffled his hair, feeling frustrated that the more he tried to finish his work quickly, the less he could think.Because it was tough for him to think properly while his head was filled with hot scenes that he would do with Daisy after he got home from work. Scenes that even just thinking about it can make his body feel hot."You need to calm down. You need to calm down, River." River tried calming himself by closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, then slowly exhaling it. He repeated this three times before opening his eyes again."Oh, damn it!" River was made to curse again when he first saw a smiling photo of Daisy on the back of his phone after opening his eyes. Making all the wild thoughts, he was trying to brush away immediately attacked him again so that he couldn't hold back anymore."There's no point in me staying here while my mind is elsewhere," River muttered while tidying up his things on his desk, finally giving in to his perv
"Don't you want to hug the big brother you can finally meet after more than 30 years of separation?"For someone else who had just met his brother after 30 years apart, those words should have been something that would warm their relationship. But River realized the words Rion spoke to him with a cold expression didn't contain the slightest warmth."There would be no such relationship between us," River said. Trying to fortify himself by acting cold, even though he actually had a lot of worries because he couldn't guess what plan Rion had prepared."Whatever you're planning, it won't work because I'll just continue to live my life like this. So instead of expecting something that you can't get, it's better for you to accept this. My life won't be affected, but you might be able to change your life with this." River said while handing back the check that Rion had been ignoring."Change my life?" Rion muttered while taking the check with his left hand.River handed a pen to Rion so that
"Isn't Eric wrong in judging people? How could he say this woman was the same as all of River's ex-girlfriends?" thought Rion when he first saw Daisy.In Rion's mind, Daisy was a beautiful woman with a sexy and glamorous appearance with luxurious items that adorned her from head to toe. But Daisy, who was now sitting in front of him–wearing a long-sleeved, mint-coloured dress with her long hair tied up with a big black ribbon and light makeup that adorned her face–made Rion surprised.Because even though Daisy is also beautiful, a sweet woman like this doesn't look right with River, who usually only moves from one sexy woman to another."Did he have fun with all the sluts and finally pick one innocent woman like this to be his wife?" thought Rion."Thank you for inviting me to meet," said Daisy, which made Rion pull his lips into a smile."I should be thanking you for taking the time to meet me," said Rion. The way the man smiled at her made Daisy think of River. Because besides their
