All Chapters of Between Love and Scandal: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The girl said this in jest. After all, this time, the kidnapper had not harmed her at all.It all seemed to scare her, or who knew what purpose behind it.Mark took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Then he said carefully,“You're right, Aileen. That's why I want you to do one thing after this.”The man said his sentence in a sombre tone. Which made Aileen stare into his dark black eyes, which always seemed full of mystery.“I want you to stay away from me. We don't need to say hello. There is no need to get to know each other. This will protect you, Aileen.”Mark turned to leave the front room of Aileen's flat.'Wh-what do you mean? You want me to stay away from my guy? Do you want to watch me torture myself? Is that it?” Aileen asked, between stunned and incredibly shocked.Mark looked at the girl with a sad expression. Not the usual Mark. That look... held a lot of secrets and question marks behind it.“My guy?” Mark asked to confirm what he had heard.Their relationship was ind

In the end, Mark was just sulking. All he wanted to do was go to the cafe for a cup of coffee and call Aileen, or just check her social media accounts. Ah, damn, Lisa. When will she ever have time alone? It felt like that little parasite always followed her wherever she went. Ah, damn it! He thought to himself."It turns out that being an attractive creature is risky too, huh? I feel like giving up. It's OK to be ugly. As long as life is safe and peaceful, not chased by crazy girls like her!" Mark grumbled to Gio, one from the branch responsible for preparing everything.Gio, one of the people from the branch office who was in charge of helping to prepare all of Mark's office needs."But, sir. You should be grateful. Miss Lisa is very nice...""Oh, grateful, huh? Would you be grateful if you were being blindly pursued by another girl, if you had another you love?" Mark interrupted Gio's unfounded remarks.Suddenly, Gio was silent. He did not know what the real story was. But according

The meeting was attended by the client, who two people also represented. One was a man in his fifties who introduced himself as the director of the Hexia Garment company, accompanied by an assistant who was a young woman with make-up who suggested she was in her thirties. In fact Aileen was willing to bet that the girl was still young, perhaps just out of college. She said her name was Dianne."Well, if I may ask, is she Mr Lucas' new personal assistant?" Mr Leo, the director of Hexia Garment asked, his eyes fixed on Aileen.Aileen felt uncomfortable being stared at like that. She had a feeling that he was the kind of bad guy who would not let any female prey, at least not from his lascivious eyes."Please keep your eyes save, Mr Leo. She is mine." Lucas' spontaneous reply made Aileen's eyes widened. Not just Mr Leo."Wow, so you're bringing your woman to professional meetings now? Wow, that's interesting,” Mr Leo said after a while after he had got over his surprise."We should only

The next day, it turned out that Lisa was traveling back to NYC. She secretly booked a ticket without Mark's knowledge, saying she would visit a college friend out of town. Lisa only said she would visit a college friend out of town. Mark, who had been looking forward Mark, who had been looking forward to being free of Lisa, was satisfied. At least he wouldn't be bothered by her presence all day.Just being free of Lisa for a day changed Mark a lot. He was so cheerful in the office and even smiled when Gio bombarded him with questions about where Lisa had gone that day.“You can call her yourself if you're worried. I'm enjoying not having her around. So don't spoil the moment by continuing to mention her name!” Mark warned Gio.Poor Gio. The boy was so interested in Lisa. But Lisa didn't want to pay any attention to Gio at all. Gio was clumsy despite his good looks. Ah, of course, Lisa, who was famouswould not be interested in him. Meanwhile, Lisa, who had arrived in Jakarta that afte

“Please have a seat, Ms. Aileen."That day, Mr. Alex Howard deliberately asked his secretary to call Aileen and ask her to come into the room to meet him."Yes, sir. Is there... something I can help you with?" Aileen asked as she took a seat in front of the large, shiny polished brown desk with a bit of nervousness. She wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that she had gone outside yesterday to meet Mr. Lucas. It clearly shouldn't have been his job desk as Marketing Manager."Ah, please just be relax. I don't feel comfortable calling you Ma'am' because you're obviously the same age as my daughter. But do you mind if I call you just Aileen?” Mr. Alex tried to break the ice between them. The tense atmosphere that Aileen felt, on one side, wanted to be broken first by Mr. Alex's friendliness."Go ahead, sir. I'm used to being called Aileen instead of Ma'am.'" Aileen replied, shaking her hair, which slightly covered her forehead."All right then, Aileen. I just want to talk for
