Weni found herself lost in thought amidst the chaos of the jam-packed train. It wasn't her first experience with the hectic morning commute, reminiscent of Tokyo's rush hour. But what had her puzzled was the sensation brewing below."Is this what her gal pals were gabbing about? The train creepers?" Weni pondered inwardly. Trying to maneuver in this sardine can was like wrestling a greased pig, especially with the persistent bump from the guy behind her. As a thirty-year-old virgin, she felt a wave of awkwardness but couldn't deny her curiosity about the owner of that bump.After a station whizzed by, there was a bit more breathing room. Finally, she managed to pivot. Bingo! It was a dude! Her hunch was spot-on; he towered so high she had to crane her neck to see his face. He clung to the overhead luggage rack as if reaching for the stars, easily pushing 6'3". Meanwhile, Weni, even with her heels, barely cracked five feet."Sorry…" his voice trailed off amidst the chaos, cheeks flushi
Jonathan's face flushed red herring Weni's blunt remarks. "Alright, fine, I'll train you for one month. After that, I'll consider your performance!"This was the first time he had interviewed a potential employee and ended up losing, going along with the candidate's wishes."Are you serious? I promise you won't be disappointed with my work," she stated confidently."Your psychometric test results and skills are fine, but your issue lies with emotions; it seems like you need to work on your emotional intelligence. Dealing with exes can be frustrating," Jonathan teased.Hearing his mocking, she became annoyed."Seems like you've never had an ex before, sir. If you did, you wouldn't say what you just did," She retorted.Jonathan was taken aback. "What! How do you know I don't have an ex?"Spot on. "See!" She mocked back. "Sir, if we're done here, I'll excuse myself. You seem busy." she wanted to escape from Jonathan's intimidating gaze.He glanced at her with a sly smile. If she became h
After a busy day, Jonathan glanced at the clock. "It's already time to leave the office," he muttered to himself, realizing that he had forgotten about Weni waiting for him to finish work. Closing his laptop, he noticed Weni's sleeping face on the chair and rubbed his forehead in frustration."Goodness, I forgot she was here!" he exclaimed. "The event starts at 5 p.m. We still have an hour, but there's not enough time to go to the salon. I'll just tell her to wear whatever clothes are in the sample products room!" he decided to himself.Half an hour later, he emerged, now dressed in a patterned silk shirt, luxury watch adorning his wrist, slicked-back hair, branded belt, slim-fit trousers ending just above the ankles, complete with a leather clutch and fashionable loafers."Wen, wake up!" he said, patting Weni's cheek as she continued to snore on the sofa. "Weni, wake up!"Still no response, so he sat in front of her at the table. "Weni!" he called out."Eek!" Finally, Weni startled a
Sruk!With the tables turned, Jonathan pulled Weni until he was on top of her."Sir!" Weni said, her expression annoyed as she was already well-dressed and he was pinning her down."Beautiful..." he praised with a deep gaze, his eyes captivated by her beautiful face."Oh, come on. I've been beautiful since birth," she said confidently, though her proud smile was meant to cover her nervousness and the pounding of her heart that Jonathan might hear."I'm serious. You're beautiful!"Weni's eyes widened, not just at his compliment that surprised her, but also because of the presence of something stirring between them, in his praise of her."Um, Sir..." she murmured awkwardly. "Could you wake up? Your face is turning as red as a ripe tomato."Honestly, Jonathan's handsome face made her heart race, especially with their close proximity and his position pinning her down."Now, look... look into my eyes, don't look away," he said, guiding her chin with his fingers, the tips of which were as c
Wow, this family sure seemed a bit unusual. Weni could only shake her head and brace herself for more surprises.As expected, one person gone, another appeared. It hadn't been five minutes since Jonathan left her to greet his friend when someone approached her—a younger woman than the previous auntie but just as stern."Oh, hello," Weni tried to be friendly, though it seemed futile. The blonde woman in a tight red dress lounged with crossed legs, her eyes glaring cynically at Weni."Los Angeles nightlife is way cooler than the cheap girls in Pattaya, Thailand," the woman said.Hmm, what an interesting opening line. Trying to keep things civil, Weni responded, "Well, beauty is subjective, isn't it? Everyone has different tastes, but personally, I think you can't judge a book by its cover.""Hahahaaa… a good cover doesn't always mean the content is interesting, and an ugly cover is definitely trash inside. You seem to have a lot to learn, miss," the blonde said, tossing her long hair li
When arrived at her simple apartment, she knew Jonathan would be surprised because she lived in an upscale area."You don't have to be shocked because this is where I live. The whole story about my unused salary is actually a lie. I'm tired of being underestimated by David, and I've been silent for too long. So, whenever I get a chance, I really want to stand up to him just once. At the party tonight, I felt capable of taking him on because I was there as your partner."Actually, there was nothing wrong with Weni's life, and Jonathan didn't really care about this girl's background, as long as she had a strong character—it was intriguing."Wanna come in?"Weni thought Jonathan would refuse because a rich kid like him would probably be disgusted by a place like hers. But he got out of the car and said, "Maybe a cup of tea could help us get to know each other better."Weni followed Jonathan out of the car, feeling a bit panicked because she didn't expect Jonathan to come to her place. Bu
Jonathan was surprised by his guest this morning. "So what brings you here so early, Bryan?""Hmm... I'm looking for that Asian girl. Where are you hiding her, under your desk?"Bryan's remarks about Weni annoyed Jo. "What's wrong with you? Does Celine want an explanation about that night? I don't think her medical bill is that expensive.""Oh come on, Jo, why so serious? I'm sure you and that Asian girl are into some business relationship. What does she do? She looks cool and attractive. Can you introduce me to her?"Bryan's comment made Jo frown. "Are you serious? So you two are dating, is it for real? I still can't believe you're straight Jo.""Don't waste my time with your nonsense. Get out of my room!"But Bryan wouldn't let up. He kept bothering Jo, even sitting at his desk and shuffling through the documents Jo was reviewing. "Jo, are you really in love with that girl? Head over heels!""What do you want?" Jo impatiently faced his persistent cousin."Since when are you with an
Weni knew Jonathan was rich, but she was surprised by how extravagant and modern his house was, especially for a single guy. She felt like it was too much."I knew you were well-off, but I didn't expect you to be this loaded," Weni gawked at Jonathan's fancy mansion with tall pillars and a multi-level swimming pool."Don't you feel lonely living in such a huge place?"Jonathan parked his car in the basement alongside other luxury vehicles. They took the elevator to the ground floor of his futuristic house. Weni followed him, amazed."I don't feel lonely here because I'm hardly ever home. I spend most of my time working in my office room.""Oh, I remember your hidden room at the office. It's way better than my apartment. I was embarrassed when you visited me.""Your place isn't that bad. At least I got to enjoy some instant noodles there.""Your comment just makes me feel more insecure."The elevator doors opened, and Weni was still in awe as they entered the grand foyer."Wow, this is
