"Finally you came down," River said when he saw Daisy walking towards him, who was currently filling one of the chairs at the dining table. "Come here. I'm starving." Daisy quickened her pace so she could serve River immediately. She picked up a plate and started filling it with the various dishes the chef had prepared before grabbing some food for herself and sitting down on a chair next to River. Ever since she started working as River's personal maid, this was how Daisy's routine whenever she ate with her master. She didn't need to cook anything because the chefs would prepare it, she just needed to fill the food into River's plate and accompany the man to eat. Until now, she still finds it very difficult for Daisy to enjoy her food properly while there is River, who always keeps an eye on her. "Sorry, River. You're going to make me choke if you keep looking at me like this," said Daisy, which made River chuckle. "I never felt someone could be this attractive before. But you, ev
"Kyaaaaa!" The scream made Zoey's body flinch in shock. She widened her eyes, but in front of her, Sean stared at her with a much scarier glare. "What have you done to me? What have you done to me?!" Sean snapped at Zoey while pulling the blanket to cover his naked body, making Zoey rush to pull the blanket so that her naked body would not be exposed in front of Sean. "Why are you screaming like that? I should be the one snapping at you!" Zoey yelled back at Sean. "How come I'm in the same bed as you? What exactly have you done to me?" "That's..." Sean trailed off. His wildly moving eyeballs staring at the kiss marks scattered across Zoey's neck, shoulders, and chest made his cheeks blush when he remembered what had happened between him and Zoey last night. After hearing that she was kicked out of River's house, Zoey felt very sad. She felt betrayed by River, who only wanted to use her to gather information about Daisy, but then kicked her out like this. But Sean's words about Riv
"I already bought everything I wanted last night. So what do you think I should buy now?" Zoey's question made Sean look at the woman with a frown. He folded his arms in front of his chest before saying, "I already feel a bit awkward when I see Daisy taking it easy and not draining River's money like his other exes. But suddenly, you show up and do the same thing with all those annoying women." "Annoying woman? Do you mean the Boss's exes? You equate me with them?" asked Zoey, who was answered with a nod by Sean. Zoey imitated Sean by folding her arms across her chest. She raised her chin, looked at the man much taller than her with a stern look—which didn't look intimidating–and said, "I didn't purposely want to drain the Boss's money. I only received a reward for what I did to him. So don't equate me with those women!" Zoey's words made Sean raise his lips, showing her a mocking grin. "So you don't think the ladies did anything for River before they were given an unlimited card,
"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
