'Scott, does Miss Evelyn always do that?', 'Scott, what is Miss Evelyn's favourite dish?', 'Scott, does Miss Evelyn like black or white coffee?', 'Scott, this', 'Scott that', and a million other questions. from the young man who was going to take his place in the meantime gave Scott a bit of a headache. 'A little more chatty,' Scott grumbled to himself. Scott does admit that Justin's work is quite good at matching his pace with Evelyn's, but Justin's curiosity needs to be restrained.“Mr. Lee, by any respect, can you just write down all the questions you want to ask on a piece of paper? I'll answer that later. My head hurts to hear you - I don't mean to insult you - but I - and Miss Evelyn - are used to working in a quiet and calm environment. I can't think at all now." Scott said as calmly as possible, trying not to offend Justin."Oh, I'm sorry Scott. I'm just so happy to get this position. Miss Evelyn is so beautiful! Is romance allowed in this office? I'm so jealous of whoever's g
"Who was that man? Really annoying! I haven't even had a chance to say my name yet." Grace grumbled as she entered Evelyn's room.“You must learn to be patient, Sunshine. He is my new secretary. Scott's going to be taking quite a long leave, so I need a replacement. My fault for not telling him about you. Now, Miss Smith, what do we have for lunch today?" Evelyn tried to lighten the mood. “I brought tacos - I hope you don't mind. Anyway, why is Scott on leave? Then there are no other candidates besides this man?” "I don't mind. Are you jealous?” Evelyn chuckled a little when Grace misbehaved. “Scott had to accompany his very ill mother. You should know Scott is like a brother to me. Look, Grace, my life hasn't always been good being a princess of the Frost kingdom. My father enjoyed playing girls in his youth. One time, my mother, who was pregnant with me, found out that my father had another child with an unknown woman. All my mom knows, is that woman is just a nightclub worker. My
Evelyn POV"I'll be working overtime for the next few weeks. You will be fine during that time, right?” I asked Grace. Grace just nodded while reading her magazine."The important thing is that you just let me know if you want to have dinner at home or want to go out. Who knows I'm not on schedule and we can spend the night together.""I understand. I'll also bring a change of clothes in case I don't come home." Grace just nodded. To be honest, I'm a little insincere to work overtime. Because that means my meeting time with Grace will be reduced. I used to be home at 4 pm, if there was a schedule, Grace would start work at 8 pm. With me working overtime, it's obvious that we'll have a hard time meeting each other. I sighed a little harshly."Why are you so grumpy? If you're worried about not being able to see me, how about I bring you lunch every day? I'll bring some clean clothes if you need them." Grace said to me. I bet my face colour will instantly brighten.“Of course, you should
Grace’s POVIt's been three days since Evelyn had no news. I feel a little neglected. I know she must be very busy, but I also feel she should still be able to reply to my messages. I know I shouldn't be upset about her condition. But from a week ago, when she often stayed at the office, she rarely contacted me.Evelyn's sudden departure and only texting me still leaves me very confused. On the one hand, I want to be angry, but on the other hand I'm also sad. Am I not important in her life? I knew she was on an important project and I shouldn't think like this. However, she actually could have called me at least to say goodbye or to let me know that she had arrived in Australia.Not to mention that recently there has been media coverage that worries me. Evelyn reportedly always travels with a man and often stays or comes home from her office at night - who I recognize as Justin - is rumoured to be close and have a special relationship. Some of the photos taken look quite close, moreov
"Justin, do you still have my schedule after this?" Evelyn asked while stretching her body which felt very crushed."You're done, boss. You should go home early. You look really messed up.""Take me to the nearest club. I didn't want to go home. This job has taken up a lot of my life. Meeting Grace will make me even more tired.”"But, Miss Frost, today -""Justin. Just-" The words are hanging with a lot of meaning."Okay, my lady." Justin was silent. Evelyn really. "But I will accompany you. - I know you're an adult. - But who knows you'll do something stupid and a stranger will take advantage of you. So, if you're still going to the club, I need to come with you. If your mind, let's just go home.""Okay. Scott really teaches you a lot, doesn't he." Evelyn said with a chuckle. She closed her last file and packed her things. “Immediately get rid of these files from my desk. I want the car ready in 30 minutes. I'm going to take a shower first." Evelyn went to her private break room.--
“Grace, please forgive me. I didn't mean to yell at you yesterday. You know I'm tired, and I just get mad. Please don't go again. Please I don't want to lose again the people I love." Evelyn said as soon as the two of them reached Evelyn's room. Evelyn trapped Grace between her hands on the wall of the room."The cold-hearted CEO who scares everyone is afraid of losing me?" Grace uttered, her gaze lingering on Evelyn's lips. It would be a lie if she hadn't been aroused from the start. She's been holding it in since the show you know!"Yes, I'm. You don't need to continue your job, you can join my company, Grace." Evelyn cupped her cheeks, slowly taking her lips into a sensual and passionate kiss, pouring all her feelings and love into that kiss. Grace shortly responded to her kiss. "You taste so good." Evelyn moans as she releases Grace’s mouth and kisses a trail down Grace's collar bone. Her hands slide down Grace's stomach "You need to take this off." Grace hurries to comply, althou
Grace woke up this morning with a very tired body. Why do people like such tiring activities? But on Grace's face, the smile never faded. Grace stepped lightly into the kitchen, greeting the few maids who had come that morning with a beaming face. Grace took some eggs from the refrigerator and prepared a frying pan."Miss Smith. Please don't work. We are paid to prepare your breakfast.” Aline said"Thank you, Aline. But really, it's not a tedious job. Let me prepare breakfast this morning, okay?”“Miss Smith, I…”"Just this once, Aline. Please? How about you just whip up a nice dinner for two tonight, hm? I'm looking forward to a surprise, okay? And please stop calling me so formal, just call me Grace. OK?""Okay, Grace. I'll leave you in the kitchen alone. Let me know if you need help, okay?” Aline said at the kitchen borderline, which was only greeted with a nod by Grace.'Was last night a dream? Did Evelyn and I end up dating? Oh my God, tell me this isn't just a dream or one-sided
Grace walked aimlessly. Her skin still stings, and her body is tired. She was literally kicked out of the house with her cell phone and ID alone. Of course, with a broken heart too. How could Evelyn just stare at her unmoved like before? Is that what you call love? If that's the definition of love, then Grace doesn't want to love anymore.Grace had lost track of time. Maybe she had been sitting there for hours without knowing the direction. She could have returned to her old apartment room if it had not been rented out to someone else. It wasn't that she didn't have any money, but it would take time to take care of the cards that Evelyn's father's bodyguards had confiscated. She now has nothing.Grace was tired, her head spinning. She had just eaten a piece of bread this morning. While continuing to walk towards her workplace - she doesn't know where else to go if not there, occasionally she stops when she feels her head is light and her mind is drifting. She faintly heard someone sho
"I won't hurt you," Scott whispered a promise in Grace's ear. "I've been thinking about it ever since that kiss. I'm sure you have great taste." "Ohh..." was all Grace was able to expel from her mouth. Grace blinked, realizing there was no way she could back away from her original plan. With a low nod, she gave Scott permission to continue. For a moment, Scott didn't move at all. Grace could feel the heat of his gaze slowly tracing every inch of her body. She bit her lip. Before Scott even touched her again, her body was already fidgeting like this. Scott helped Grace get her nightgown off her head. The woman then closed her eyes and let her imagination take over her mind. The fantasy only lasted a moment as reality approached her like a tidal wave. Grace moaned softly as she felt Scott's warm hand cup the secret garden under her panties. A moan turned to a wary growl, Grace didn't even dare to open her eyes at all. She now felt Scott's nuzzle, a combination of a wet touch and a sof
"You should be labeled a danger, Grace," Scott said the morning after that conversation, while they were watching a morning cartoon in the living room. "I need to keep my distance from you." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand."It's okay to be close without doing something, Scott.""Isn't that what's been happening to us for the past few months?" the man reminded her, "I... have never felt so wild.""And I'm not complaining at all." Grace didn't like them keeping their distance like this. She reached out to touch the man's upper arm. She stroked it gently while giving him puppy eyes."Wait a minute, I'll make some tea." The man jumped off the couch before Grace could protest. Scott walked over to the electric kettle and a stainless tray containing two ceramic cups. "You want to?""I don't mind.""Grace....""Hmmm?" The one who was greeted immediately glanced over her shoulder."I think this is the right time to make another confession to you.""Not som
"Evelyn called me this afternoon." Grace opened the conversation after the two movies were over and Scott's eyes started to get heavy. Hearing this, Scott immediately woke up."Finally." Grace heard a hint of bitterness in Scott's answer. "What did she tell you? I'm glad you guys can finally communicate.""It's not what you think. She didn't even apologize for what happened a few months ago and instead blamed me because I couldn't stand up for myself." Scott straightened his back when he heard that. One of his eyebrows shot up as if to ask what Grace meant. "Evelyn immediately cornered me as if I wasn't trying to contact her, not trying to hold on to her, let alone not trying to repay all of her efforts.""I understand you, Grace. You must be very disappointed even though you've been trying to survive all this time, in these uncertain conditions, just for Evelyn. But I hope you also need to understand Evelyn. You must also know that her position is also hard for her.”“If you still wa
Just before dinnertime, Grace got a message from someone she'd been waiting for for weeks. Asking her on the phone is fun as if nothing happened. With the new pretext of getting a place and time that is safe and away from anyone's supervision. On the other side, Evelyn was nervous about apologizing to Grace. Begging if necessary. It seems that the second option has a higher chance of success, since Grace's first sentence when she picked up the phone was: "After all this time? Are you kidding me?!""I-I'm cornered, Grace." Evelyn bitterly answered Grace's scathing greeting. Grace even snorted harshly. "That is not the main point …. wait a minute. How come I'm the one to blame?""What do you mean?""Aren't you sticking with me yourself? You just left.""Why the hell not?!" Gracel snapped. "You, who say you love me, are clearly not defending me and not holding me back." Shit."Grace, please.... I know I was completely wrong. But as long as it's not over, can't we deal with it from now on
Grace watched Scott from across the room, waiting for Scott to finish getting ready to go out for lunch - just lunch and not a date. Grace seemed to need to remind herself one more time, the man named Scott she was staring at intensely at the moment, was only helping her because Grace was her boss's friend. Nor is it a source of new fantasies to make his mind fly wildly everywhere. Grace, just a little feel, accepted? And comfortable?While waiting for Scott to leave, Grace saw that Scott was the type of guy who knew how to take care of himself and manage his appearance without being seen as menor or extravagant. Scott lets his unkempt hair fall, without detracting from the impression of a neat short cut. Grace also likes Scott's smart casual style, looks professional wrapped around her fit body. Scott isn't a gym fan, but it's clear he's trying to keep his body in shape.Grace suddenly doubts her sexual orientation. She didn't feel like she had ever been attracted to men. The paranoi
Justin arrived last night, reminding Evelyn she'd been here a week. Her father was really mad. How could Evelyn be able to set up a branch company without data from the main company? Moreover, her father wanted to create a company with a different trademark. Her father really didn't open a single gap for her to rest."Justin, could you please email Scott and ask him for the basic files that the finance department needs," Evelyn said while occasionally massaging her dizzy temples."Okay, miss. I'll email Mr White's secretary.""Thank you for moving here with me. I know it won't be easy, but please endure with me.” Evelyn said with a small smile. Justin was slightly touched by that smile. Elegant and sincere, but beneath it can be felt a great sense of exhaustion, despair, and longing.“Miss Frost, I am truly grateful that you can trust me. I may only be able to help lighten your load a little. Mr. White has replied to my message, he said he must wait for Mr. Frost's permission to send
Today Grace looks a little better. Since her visit to Scott's mother, Grace seems more excited about life. Every now and then thoughts of Evelyn came to pass, but Grace managed to push the image far away. While preparing breakfast for herself and Scott, Scott arrived at the dining room well-dressed. "Uh? Where are you going, Scott?” Ask Grace. "How come you're so tidy at this hour? Isn't it that you don't need a visit and your leave schedule is still running?” “I was called back to the company. My leave entitlement was also revoked. You know Grace - and please whatever I'm about to tell you, it's definitely not your fault.. But I'll be replacing Evelyn as CEO of this main company for a while.” Grace was a little taken aback for a moment. "Does it have anything to do with my problem?" Ask Grace carefully. "I don't know - you haven't told me either. But Evelyn looked confused when we met. Mr Frost also immediately called me about this. All I know is Evelyn will be moving in a few day
Evelyn pulled her suitcase unsteadily. Seated herself in the first-class round at the airport. The flight will take off in five hours. Until now, Evelyn still didn't have the courage to look for Grace. Evelyn could only sit pensively, watching the runway and the sea of people coming and going. Evelyn put earphones in both ears, playing a playlist of songs haphazardly.I need to know what's on your mindThese coffee cups are getting coldEvelyn glanced at her glass of americano. For some reason, this unfamiliar song suddenly gave her goosebumps.Mind the people passing byThey don't know I'll be leaving soonEvelyn sighed. She remembered that she hadn't told Grace at all.I'll fly away tomorrow to far awayI'll admit a cliche, things won't be the same without youEvelyn subconsciously moved her head to the beat of the song. Her heart throbbed in pain, but her face remained calm. The phrase 'Things won't be the same without you' had applied to her these past few days. She really felt
Grace is feeling very happy today. Mrs. White shared many photos of Scott's childhood, recounting his youth - which she found to have had similar work.“How are clubs these days, Grace? It's been a long time since I last had fun at the club. It feels like you still want to move to the rhythm of the music, what power your body can't do much activity. I hope you enjoy your job, Grace." Mrs White said in front of the pantry."It's still crowded, loud music and people passing by. I enjoyed it, mother. Regardless of what people say, I myself chose to work as a pole dancer. Dancing and being paid large sums of money is an easy job. All I need to be careful about is that I don't get harassed.” Grace said smiling. She was heating the food she brought earlier for dinner together."It's good that you're happy. It is true that our work is often taken for granted. We have to be strong in doing what we love. I'm proud of you, don't listen to what people say. Just do what you like.” Mrs. White then
