Enrick’s POVSitting on my lap, Noella looked beautiful, with a blush on her cheeks. But I could see that she was uncomfortable and wanted to leave the place quickly. She was embarrassed that many people were watching the two of them. But I couldn't help but smile when every time she was awkward or panicked, her face would instantly turn red. In my eyes, she looked cute and adorable. One small thing that made me happy to see her. "What exactly is going on, Enrick? Who were those two women?" she asked hesitantly. There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes, but I'm sure it was because he didn't like people approaching me when he wasn't around. "I didn't recognise them. They just suddenly came and approached me. Then tease me.""Then why don't you try to get to know or at least one of them? I see. They're both beautiful. It would be perfect to be your lover," she suggested, which made me roll my eyes lazily. "Didn't I tell you? I already have a girlfriend. Even my girlfriend is much p
Enrick’s POVAll the way from the restaurant door to the car, I held her hand without letting go for a second. I was so happy to have that woman. For me, Noella isn't just a lover. She's a lamp that gives color to my life that feels empty. I won't let anyone get close to her because this woman is only for me. I suddenly wanted to tell her about myself that I had never told anyone else. "I'm a possessive kind of guy, honey. I always dislike what is already mine. I won't let it be with others. So you just have to focus on me." I kissed her hand gently again. This time, I kissed that hand a little longer. "Enrick, not like this," she was nervous. I was afraid that someone would see her in an intimate scene. He didn't. "I wouldn't like it if you glanced at other men, got close to other men, or maybe exchanged messages with men other than me. "Everything in you is only for me, understand?" I didn't care about anything anymore. Even her protests I pretended not to hear. Noella's eyes w
Noella’s POVI felt my feet slipping from the push. And in an instant, my body swayed forward. But before I fell, I felt something warm and strong holding my body. I found myself in Enrick's arms in a matter of seconds. My hands reflexively grabbed his shirt, looking for a firm grip. When I looked up, I saw Enrick's worried eyes. His strong hands held my waist gently, keeping me close and safe.Time seemed to stop for a moment when our eyes met. Those seconds felt like an eternity, where our hearts beat harder and harder, creating two harmonious rhythms. It felt like we didn't dare to breathe because of how tight our embrace was.I looked into Enrick's eyes with admiration, taking in every detail. His eyes glittered like jewels, radiating a warmth and tenderness that made my heart flutter. His eyelashes were long and black, adding charm to his handsome face. Enrick's face was perfectly sculpted, his nose straight and well-proportioned, his lips full and beautifully sculpted, and his
Noella’s POVArriving at the bohemian-style house, a sense of awkwardness washed over me. Suddenly, I looked like a dumb, hesitant woman. My behavior was awkward and tense. Because he and I were going to sleep under the same roof, and there were only two of us there. There were only a few bodyguards standing guard outside and the janitor who would only come when we left. "Ak, I'll go to my room first, Enrick," I excused myself from him.He smiled and nodded vaguely. But even though he said I was leaving to rest, he didn't let go of my hand. "Enrick, your hand," I reminded him. Instead of letting go, he tightened the bond between our hands. "No goodnight kisses, darling?" he asked, teasing me. My ears that heard his words suddenly turned red again. My face, too, of course. My lips were about to reply, but the words never came out. It was like it was stuck in my throat. "No, thanks. I'm going to my room first. Thank you for today, Enrick," I said before we parted ways. I walked wit
Noella’s POVThe atmosphere in Enrick's office was calm and peaceful. The room was on the top floor of an office building, with large windows that let in sunlight freely. Elegant and modern furniture adorned the room, giving it a professional and classy feel. The man's desk was near the large window, flanked by two large shelves filled with important files and books. Computers and other electronic devices were neatly displayed on the desk, often keeping him busy all day.As for me, I sat at a desk a few meters away from him. I tried to focus on my work, but my mind drifted to the man who looked very handsome and authoritative while working. His every movement and gesture is visible in great detail, even from my desk. He looked so focused on the work, even more so than usual. I don't know, or my eyes were not well. His eyes were glued to the computer screen, his hands moving nimbly as if dancing on the keyboard. He seemed so immersed in his task that he didn't look away from the flat
Noella's POVAll eyes were on us. Enrick's sudden statement made the atmosphere around us tense and shocked. The shocked expressions on the faces of the employees, the security guards, and even Calend himself as they heard Enrick's words. They were stunned, their lips pressed together and their eyes wide with disbelief. I could feel the waves of confusion and disbelief between them, like the wind blowing through the room. Some of them started whispering, exchanging glances with incredulous faces. And I was the same as them. I couldn't hide my sudden shock. I looked at Enrick with a mixed expression of disbelief and annoyance as well. I felt like getting angry, but I couldn't. Enrick seemed unperturbed by the attention we received from the people around us. He looked at me with confidence, his smile still chiseled on his face. I felt like I should disappear immediately. The smile was radiating with excitement. Enrick stood in the middle of us, in front of all the shocked and confus
Noella's POV"Noella, stay with me here until I fall asleep. And don't leave until I'm completely asleep, got it?" he said with slightly wistful eyes. When Enrick asked me to help him fall asleep, I was slightly surprised by his unusual request. But I understand that when you're sick, he just wants to feel more comfortable in his bed. Nervous, I nodded."But let go of your hands first. I'll help you take off your suit, shoes, and watch so that you can sleep more comfortably later," I coaxed gently. I helped him take off his coat, then buttoned his shirt one by one so that the heat wouldn't get worse. Not forgetting his shoes and socks. Lastly, the watch. I felt his soft eyes, never failing to look at me, even in every little movement. "Do you need anything?" I asked when I had finished doing everything necessary. "Nothing. It's just that I can't sleep if the light is still on. So can you turn it down?" I nodded and walked towards the wall, where there was a switch to turn off the
Darren’s POVI was sitting at my desk. My face probably looked tense and like it was full of trouble. Looking at the pile of files on the desk, I sighed inwardly. "I can't seem to get any work done, even though I've been sitting at my desk all day," I muttered in frustration as I rubbed my temples, which were starting to hurt. My forehead was throbbing; it was bothering me. I pause for a while. Straightening my back, I catch my breath and get back to work. It didn't work. Still, my head throbbed. "When will this be done?" I complained again, thinking of the various unresolved issues within the company, like being trapped in an endless maze. There was never an end to it.Several times, I cursed under my breath when I couldn't find a bright spot in the company's problems. "Why is everything so complicated?" I sighed as I matched the data from the files and my laptop. "There are so many reports that are not in order," I muttered.I grabbed my phone and tried to take my mind off the wor
