The sound of a strong buzz made anyone who heard it jumped with fear. No exception for Delia, Dominic Archer's secretary, the second-largest shareholder of Aleris Corp, one of the biggest companies in America.
"Again?" The baritone voice hypnotized anyone who heard it. He was Dominic Archer.
"Upon investigation, the funds flowed to several women and their lavish trips, sir." She explained in more detail.
"How many clients have canceled the partnership with us?" Dominic asked his secretary, Delia.
"Not that much, but our stocks are down by a few percent. If it continues like this, we might get to a crisis point." Delia explained.
Dominic patted his temples which felt throbbing.
"I will go out."
Dominic left the room with a face that was difficult to interpret.

The room inside was not too big, but it was pretty neat and comfortable. The wall colour was grey-black with a combination of a little white to be the dominant colour in the room.
Various idol posters, two acoustic guitars, and bass guitars completed Chanyeol's room. He really liked music as a wall decoration. If he wanted to use the guitar, he just needed to take it from the wall.
"If I could ask, I'd ask for time to stop right now." Said Chanyeol as he looked at Jean's peaceful face, who was sleeping beside him.
After Chanyeol kissed many spots of Jean's skin, Jean felt relaxed and fell asleep on Chanyeol's shoulder.
After she fell asleep, Chanyeol laid Jean on his bed without moving her to his sister's room.
"Sorry Je, maybe when you wake up, you'll think I'm a jerk for taking a chance." Chanyeol smoothed the hair that covered Jean's pretty face.
"But Je, you know? I was furious at that damn man. The man who dared to touch you. If at that time you let me go to see him, I'll make sure his neck was separated from his body." Chanyeol clenched his fists against the man who wanted to rape Jean.
Knock, knock.
The sound of knocking was heard.
"Chan." Chanyeol's mother called him from behind the door of his room.
Chanyeol hurried over to his mother.
"Yes Mom, what's wrong?" Chanyeol asked his mother who called him before.
"Is Jean still asleep?" Chanyeol's mother whispered, afraid to wake Jean.
Chanyeol chuckled at his cute mom.
"She's still sleeping. We'd better talk outside. Have you cooked yet?" Chanyeol took his mother away from his room.
"Not yet. Help me then."
"Aye... First lady." Chanyeol joked at her mother.
"When are you going to say it?" Chanyeol's mother asked.
"Later, when the timing is just right." Chanyeol's smile grew bigger.

"Is this how our President acts?" Dominic stared in disbelief at what he had just seen before his eyes.
When he entered the room, he was presented with a scene he didn't wish to see. Two women and one man doing dirty things in the workroom.
The man who was called the President turned on his batik casually as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, the two women that Dominic saw rushed out of the room quickly out of fear.
"Is this the attitude of the CEO to the President?" The man repeated Dominic's words.
"I'm fed up with you!" Holding back the great anger at him.
The man laughed out loud and walked over to Dominic.
"What would you do?" The man disdained.
The man got closer.
"Tell everyone that I'm a jerk? Put me off?" The man pursed the corners of his lips.
"Can you start already? You're just like me, Son. Have you forgotten?"
Dominic held his hand firmly, refrained from killing the person in front of him.
"You'll see, I will dethrone you like you brought down my mother." Dominic looked at the man comfortably. He then came out of the room and slammed the door loudly.
Dominic walked with his hands still clenched. He still held back so much anger.
He saw one of the women in the room walking in front of him. She was looking down in shame because she was caught doing dirty things.
With vast strides, Dominic approached the woman and pulled her into one of the empty spaces.
He cornered the woman to the corner of the wall and quickly scooped her lips. Not only that, Dominic lifted the short dress the woman was wearing. His hands played in her 'sensitive' spot.
At first, the woman refused, but Dominic's touch was so intoxicating that she began to enjoy Dominic's lips and hands in her 'sensitive' spot.
"More." The woman asked with a pleading face because of the unbearable passion. However, Dominic only played with his hands, nothing more.
Dominic stopped his hand and took a handkerchief under his jacket to clean his hands.
He looked at the woman without expression, making those who stare shudder with horror.
"You ask for more?" Dominic asked.
Frightened, the woman weakly nodded.
Dominic leaned forward and whispered something.
"I want to, but I can't sleep with the same woman as my father. My b***h is classier than my father's bitch." Dominic put on his smirk smile
The man he had met earlier was his father, Adam Archer. The man who didn't deserve to be called a father, according to Dominic.
After saying that, Dominic left the woman, who was still frozen, not knowing what she felt after Dominic said that.
"Julian, prepare all." Said Dominic to his interlocutor on his phone.
"Yes, sir."
"You just need to wait until I take the position and I'll make sure you feel what my mother feels." Dominic promised.

It's eleven o'clock in the afternoon. Jean was still gracefully asleep on Chanyeol's bed. Not long after, Jean woke up and immediately looked at the clock on the wall. How shocked she was to see the short needle on the number eleven.
"I'm late."
Jean hurried downstairs.
"Je." Called Chanyeol from the kitchen to see Jean's panicked face.
"Chan, why didn't you wake me up?" Jean was Annoyed.
"On purpose." Chanyeol answered lightly.
Chanyeol was a little disappointed because Jean's reaction was too normal since Chanyeol kissed her.
Could Chanyeol expect Jean to show an embarrassing face or blush because of his treatment?
"Chanyeol..." Jean was annoyed.
"Let me go, wlee." Chanyeol jokingly responded to Jean. He thought positively. Maybe Jean was still sleepy, so she still didn't remember what happened.
"You guys are still like kids. Stop teasing Jean, Chan." Chanyeol's mother twisted Chanyeol.
"Sorry Mom, Jean is the one who naughty." Chanyeol dodged it.
"Chanyeol is naughty Mom... Didn't wake me up so I was late for work." Jean complained.
"I agree with Chan. You don't have to work today. Just stay at home with me." Chanyeol's mother was still worried about this morning.
"I'm fine Mom." Jean held Chanyeol's mother's hand.
"But, Je." This time it was Chanyeol who disagreed.
Jean looked at Chanyeol. "I'm all right, Chan. Thanks." Jean flashed a smile. It succeeded in making Chanyeol's chest pound quickly.
"Do you want to wear my clothes?" Chanyeol asked because he knew that Jean couldn't come home to change her clothes for fear that there was still that bastard with Jean's stepmother.
"I'll just go home. Your clothes won't fit in me anyway, Chan. You see how tall you are. You're like a giraffe!" Jean dared to mock Chan, seeing his tall height.
"How dare you are." Chan clasped Jean's head against his armpit.
"Stop it guys. Just wear Yoora's clothes, Jean." Chanyeol's mom intervened.
Like it or not, Jean obeyed her because Chan's mother's orders were absolutely indisputable.

Like normal days, Jean worked at a cafe during the day and worked at a club at night. Now, Jean was busy giving drink orders to guests.
Chanyeol's attitude was so possessive to her before. In the afternoon, when she was about to work at the cafe, he drove her and returned to pick her up, as well as escorting her back to the club. He even asked Jean to wait for him because he would pick her up.
Jean was grateful to have Chanyeol and Chanyeol's family in her life. She remembered when Chanyeol kissed her. Her first kiss, if only that jerk didn't take it first.
Jean was very grateful that Chanyeol's kiss could divert everything that man had done. She knew that right now, she was shameless to say this.
'Can I be with Chan forever like this? Am I too selfish if I want Chan's warm family? If so, get us together as quickly as possible. If not, move us away as fast as possible so that I don't have much hope of him.' Jean thought.
