Queen

“You look nervous.” Luca immediately noticed the discomfort in her face as they rode the Mercedes towards Old Man Han’s estate. He held her hand that was resting on her leg and smiled. “My grandfather won’t eat you. At least… not alive.”“Real funny.” She scoffed and turned her head away, ignoring the concern visible in his eyes. “What’s he like? Your grandfather?”“He’s strict. But he tries to protect me as much as he can. So I guess that’s a win.” He chuckled while slowly rubbing his knuckles at the back of her palm. The action was soft and smooth. She liked it. “When my father died, I was sent abroad to study. Then when I came back… he made me the CEO.”Fiona stared at him. The things that he said were something she already knew. Was it because he didn’t know that much about his own grandfather?“He aske

Evil

“The aim is to win,” Fiona said confidently. “I would sacrifice the queen to win the game.”The older man smiled, his wrinkled face turned brighter. “Sit down and play a game with me.”“Grandfather… I don’t think this is a good idea. We came here for dinner.”Mr. Han looked at his grandson, unimpressed. “You drove your woman up the mountain at this house without eating dinner?”“That—”“I thought I raised you well.”“I—”Amusement flashed in Fiona’s eyes as she smiled but didn’t say anything. Declining the old man’s offer might mean that she was disrespecting him. And saying that they had snacks before coming in here would mean that she wouldn’t get hungry for a few hours.Meaning, she could play against him.It was a trick.She looked at Luca, lett

Schedules

Luca froze and stared at her. “I… I think so?”She chuckled and shook her head. “I’m going to sleep.”“Right…” He nodded. “Right. You should. Tomorrow is your first day. You should… uh… sleep.”Did she just see his ears turning scarlet red? She snorted and stood before she felt his hand on her wrist.“Wait.”“Hm?” She hummed in response and stared at his hand. For some reason, the small friction caused her stomach to twirl and turn. She was horny.Pretty obvious.To be fair, she was with a handsome man, wearing nothing but his robe. Surely, he wouldn’t blame her for thinking something… dirty, right? She gulped. “What did you say?”“I said… you should be careful. My people said that the incident with Naomi has already started spreading. They think you bullied her and caused the

Sympathetic Nature

  [How come she immediately became an executive secretary? I wonder what kind of connections she has. Maybe it was just because of her pretty face?] [I don’t think she is that pretty.] [I know, right? She doesn’t look like someone that smart.] [I’m sure Miss Jiang is heartbroken. I always thought they were together, but the CEO just let the mistress bully Miss Jiang.] [Hey, I heard, that woman’s CV didn’t even pass the HR. If so, how did she qualify? I never thought that the CEO would be so blind.] [I saw her today. She was walking around the canteen alone. Maybe the rumors about her and Mr. Han are not true. I mean, if the CEO liked her, then why was she eating in that place on her own?] Seeing the messages on their WeChat group, Naomi smirked. A sense of victory filled her. As expected. Because of what happened, everyone thought that Fiona was actually a gold-digging

Resignation Letter

 The smell of tea wafted inside the private room in the restaurant. It was jasmine, mild and fragrant for most people. In fact, it was Naomi’s favorite tea. She smiled and took a sip, then she stole a glance at Luca who remembered her tastes.“Luca, why would you invite her to this dinner?” Arya immediately took the first opportunity to speak just as the waiter who took their order left. “I thought you were only inviting Naomi?”“Hmmm.” Luca nodded. “I invited Miss Jiang and Fiona. But I don’t remember inviting you.”Arya’s face reddened. She stared at Luca in disbelief. “You— ““Luca, how could you say something like that to Arya? She was only concerned about me. Please stop acting like that to your own cousin.”“I don’t think there is something wrong with that question Miss Jiang,” Luca said before sipping his tea. &ldquo

Storm

  Luca looked at Fiona just as Arya and Naomi left the room, then he chuckled and tilted the teacup towards her. “Cheers.” Fiona snorted in response. She had enjoyed the brief show. She enjoyed annoying Arya and Naomi. “I never thought you have the talent in annoying people to death.” It was a compliment. She met his gaze, her lips lifted upwards into a beautiful cunning smile. “I never thought you have the ability to predict people’s reactions.” He responded. “Your plan was flawless. It was her plan to invite Naomi and make her create a scene in front of Luca’s uncle, Samuel Han. The fact that Luca’s cousin actually came with her was just the bonus. “I would take that as a compliment.” “It was a compliment,” he simpered as he looked at her with amused eyes. Fiona was not only smart, she was beautiful and talented in the business. She was just perfect for the job. “Thank you. Now… can we ask the server to please give us the food?

Bodyguard and Wife

“So let me get this clear, Arya cannot actually show herself in the company because of some promise she made to your grandfather?” Fiona sat on the couch inside their room, she eyed Luca who was busy on his laptop. “She wanted grandfather to pay for her travels after she spent all her trust fund money in gaining followers on some social media.” Fiona stared at him, flabbergasted. How come she never heard about this before? Obviously, the Han Family must have tried to hide it as it would only ruin the woman’s reputation. As someone with Chinese blood, she knew how people in China and Hong Kong care a lot about reputation. They would care about preserving their face more than they would care about the mental health of their child. Obviously, this only happens to a few families with really rich and traditional backgrounds. She was honestly curious about the money but decided not to ask about it. “You are curious about the money?” “Was it that obv

Fool

Fiona had been through a lot of meetings before. To her, it was all coffee and boring. Yet, today, she could feel a static electricity dancing through the air as the men in suits with egos bigger than their brains looked at her with disdain.They must have known about the new hot secretary.But they shouldn’t care about her clothing or her face. What they care about is the fact that the VP of HICI, Samuel Han called this meeting.The goal is to tackle some of the issues about the upcoming bidding that HICI wanted to win. The bidding was for a huge project in Beijing.However, if this was all about the bidding, then why was Naomi here?Sitting next to Samuel Han was the beautiful Miss Naomi Jiang. She sat there, chin lifted high as she talked to the other people sitting at the table. Unlike Naomi, Fiona was sitting in a chair by the door. Next to the tray where the coffee and other refreshments were placed.Fiona eyed Luca, who was list

Give Me Your Body

This woman was truly shameless. Fiona had been here for a couple of days and she was already accusing her of something. “Miss Jiang, I have only been here for a couple of days. Or have you forgotten that?” “You–” Fiona smiled at Naomi. Despite being distraught, Naomi looked divine in her makeup. She was wearing a pale blue suit that highlighted her curves. It wasn’t vulgar or anything. In fact, it looked cool and fashionable. With her hair in a bun, Naomi looked professional and intimidating at that same time. “Of course, if uncle was so concerned about the Han Family then… why not just make her your secretary?” Luca sneered. This scheme was of course created by Fiona. It was a simple one. First, Cedric needed to get rid of the people that the Jiang Family put inside the company. Getting rid of spies should be his priority. He needed to establish his name, and he wouldn’t be able to do anything if there were spies all ar
