Chapter 1

I was a CEO. I felt like strange things kept happening to me as of late. I noticed that a woman kept showing up everywhere I went.Of course, I was an extremely handsome, wealthy, and talented billionaire. It was only natural for me to be surrounded by women of all sorts.But that woman was different.Why? Well, I'd never met such an oddball in my entire life.She tripped over nothing and fell right in front of me on her first day of work. The coffee she was holding ended up splashing all over my suit. Did she have any idea how expensive this suit was?After that, the woman quickly rushed toward me and attempted to wipe the coffee off my suit. My bodyguards were stunned, to say the least. Everyone could only watch as that woman tugged and pulled at my suit, making me look even more wretched.Thank goodness, one of my many admirers was quick to pull her away from me angrily, thus saving me from her clumsy endeavors.After calming down, I coolly told the woman how much my suit w

The man's pained moans grew louder once he realized that someone was defending him. But when he heard the sirens coming from a distance, his expression changed immediately. He quickly got up to his feet and fled from the scene.Meanwhile, Charlyn was still banging on my car window.Soon, the police arrived at the scene. We were both escorted to the police station to have our statements taken. The police also collected the security footage from the scene.Naturally, I was innocent. I even told a policeman, "She kept speaking up for that scammer earlier. I suspect they're working together to scam people."Once I was done with my statement, I drove away from the police station. Charlyn, on the other hand, was kept back.Before I left, I heard an officer muttering, "Young ladies nowadays are too eager to show off their so-called virtue in front of rich people. Heh!"I had no idea what happened to Charlyn after that.Thankfully, the next few weeks were delightful for me, as I never s

Chapter 3

I could only sigh mentally as I watched Charlyn toying with her fingers uneasily. A large patch of her exposed wrist was still red.Although Charlyn was being tactful with her words, I could tell there must be a mole in my company. So, I thanked her for her warning."Thank you for warning me, Ms. Emerson. I'll keep that in mind."I couldn't possibly chew out a woman like her at this time, right? Hence, I fell silent after that.Charlyn most likely knew that I didn't like her that much, so she said goodbye to me after wiping her tears away.I watched as she walked toward a red Ferrari, which was parked a short distance away. A teenager with dyed green hair and a pair of shades perched on his nose bridge opened the car door for her. Then, he stuck out a middle finger at me blatantly.Obviously, that boy wasn't Arthur.Tsk tsk!It was just a taunting gesture from an immature teenager who was still wet behind his ears. I just shook my head gently, opting to ignore him instead. Afte

"Oh, Lucian! You're back!" Luther exclaimed happily.A clatter of noises burst out from within Luther's room. A while later, he opened the door for me."What are you doing in your room? You even locked your door!" I cuffed Luther on the head.Fine. I was just venting my anger on Luther. After all, I had just found a woman that I didn't have a good impression of loitering around in my home at midnight, yet I couldn't do anything to her. So, I could only switch targets."Lucian, you're finally home!" Luther wailed before rushing over to hug me."Lower your voice! Don't wake Mom and Dad up!" I patted Luther on the head. "What's going on?"Luther glanced at the living room. When he spotted Charlyn hanging around, he jogged over to her right away. "Ms. Emerson, you should turn in for the night. My brother's already home now. Thank you for your hard work today."I looked at Charlyn as well. She just hummed timidly in response. Finally, she shuffled back to the guest room, though she k

With that thought in mind, I managed to fall asleep.When my alarm blared loudly, I was still in a hazy state. I'd been thoroughly exhausted over the past two days, all thanks to Charlyn's involvement.Seriously, I felt that something was really wrong with me. Whenever I saw her, I'd feel straight up uncomfortable.Had she perhaps wronged me in my past life?I slowly got up and headed to the bathroom, mulling over that possibility with a hint of self-deprecation.Once I was done with my routine, I walked out of the bathroom, still feeling disoriented. That was when I bumped into Charlyn, who was immaculately dressed for the day. I finally realized what I'd forgotten all this time.Why was that woman still in my house? Irritation began to creep into my senses at that moment."Mr. Skyworth!" Charlyn beamed at me with sparkling eyes. She looked quite bubbly and cheerful.Then, she began speaking to me as though we were close. "I don't know what you want for breakfast, so I made

I looked down at the sandwich in my hand. She made it herself, huh? It looked quite tasty.I began chomping on the sandwich. It was a little cold, but for some reason, it tasted sweet. Yeah, it was tasty.Kyrie really was a woman of many talents. Not only was she an amazing secretary, but she was also a good cook.The HR department had done a wonderful job in recruiting such a talented person. I'd have to give them a bigger bonus before the New Year holidays.Time often passed by very quickly whenever I was hard at work. That morning, I was extremely busy with work.I held an emergency meeting so I could deal with the mole once and for all. It turned out that the mole was the nephew of one of the minor shareholders. Arthur had tricked that guy into gambling his money away at a casino, resulting in him racking up a huge debt. That was how he'd managed to bribe the mole into doing things for him.After conducting a thorough investigation, we found out that the mole had even embez

The next few days went by without a hitch. Every night, I waited until the latest possible time to drive Kyrie home. The next morning, I'd left the house extremely early to avoid bumping into Charlyn. Once I reached the company, Kyrie would use a different excuse of the day to give me breakfast.Every day was practically smooth sailing for me—if I were to ignore the half-hour calls Luther placed just to rant to me about Charlyn and to beg me to come up with a way to kick her out. At this point, he wanted nothing more than to have a new private tutor.Well, if the brute next to me could remove the black sack from my head, that'd be even better.I'd just felt like having coffee all of a sudden. Of course, I'd just had to develop a shred of conscience when I'd looked at Kyrie, whom I was used to ordering around like a slave. So, I'd thought that I should personally drop by the café across from the company and get my own coffee.This had all taken place in broad daylight. The moment

Chapter 8

Kyrie helped me into one of the police cruisers. Through the window, I could see Jonathan and his men being pushed into another cruiser.The car that I sat in took a U-turn so that it could start speeding toward the hospital. At first, I'd needed to have my statement taken. But Kyrie insisted on taking me to the hospital first. The policeman, who was in the cruiser with us, shot me a few odd looks. Then, he told the driver to take us to the hospital.But how had Kyrie found out about my kidnapping?I asked her that question when I was lying on the hospital bed."I realized that you never returned to the office after leaving for quite some time. Lily, the receptionist at the front desk, told me that she saw you heading toward the café across from the company. "But when I arrived there, all I saw were broken shards of a coffee cup. After that, a barista in the café mentioned that she witnessed someone dragging you into a vehicle."Kyrie paused momentarily before shyly glancing a

The crowd left as quickly as they came. Luther sat by my bed and began peeling an orange for me."Who's that lady?" he asked curiously before popping a slice of orange into his mouth. "She's quite pretty."Wasn't that orange meant for me?I smacked Luther on the head instantly, causing him to wail in pain. "Ouch! Watch your strength, Lucian! Alright, alright! I'll drop the question! Geez!"There was no such thing as a taboo question for me. "That was my secretary.""Huh? She's just a secretary? I thought she'd be my sister-in-law." Luther pouted at me. "Lucian, you gotta work harder. Mom really likes that Charlyn woman…""She's your tutor!" I glared at Luther. "What does this have to do with her anyway?""Oh? You don't know what's going on? Why do you think Mom wants her to stay in our house?"Luther glanced at the doorway sneakily. "I heard Mom telling Dad something. She said, and I quote, 'Charlyn's a pretty decent woman. She comes from a good background, not to mention she's

Chapter 10

I shot a look at Luther, who approached Charlyn immediately. As he took the thermos flask from her, he exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "Wow! Thank you for bringing me some stew, Ms. Emerson! How did you know I haven't had breakfast yet?"Charlyn was about to explain herself when Luther cut in, "You should go back for now. I'll definitely focus on my studies at the hospital!"Then, he pushed her out of the ward.Charlyn kept turning back to look at me. Upon noticing my icy look, her eyes reddened immediately. She could only let Luther push her out.Luther followed Charlyn out of the ward as well. He paused to stick his head back into the ward to give me a meaningful glance."Lucian, I'm having a stomachache!"Then, he looked at Kyrie. "Kyrie, please help me take care of my brother! Thank you!"What a cheeky bastard!Now, Kyrie and I were the only ones in the ward. No one spoke for a moment. Kyrie just stood where she was, looking at me as calmly as she could. At the same tim
