"So you were that genius" Said Melan Seductively.
This story is about two people entrapped in revenge game. one want revenge other want love.
See what fate will grant them whose wish will be fulfilled.

Sitting in his seat, Sheffield fixed his eyes on the female CEO who shone like a goddess not far from him. He appreciated her skills. He didn't expect that Evelyn was so good at winning people's support.    

People in the programming department were quite excited, but the employees of the finance department were quite envious of them.    

Some of them were dissatisfied, saying that Evelyn was playing favorites. But someone who knew how hard the programmers worked said, "The programmers code day and night, their lives dedicated to their projects and the company. No one's saying we don't work hard, but they do it at the cost of their health."

Those who were still unconvinced didn't dare say anything more for fear of being scolded by others.    

As everyone started to relax, a brave young man thought he was clever. "Miss Huo, are you single? I'd love to go out with you."    

"Hahaha! In your dreams." Another employee laughed out loud.    

"She is the eldest princess of our CEO. Don't even think about it. Go and earn tens of billions of dollars first, then you can ask again!"    

"Tens of billions? You kidding me?"    

"Hahaha..."

That end of the restaurant was loud with laughter and chatter.    

Evelyn hadn't paid much attention to the people in the finance department. With a smile, she told everyone in the programming department, "I'm sorry. I already have a boyfriend. But I hope you guys find someone even hotter than me."    

"Wow, she has a boyfriend? Who is he, Miss Huo? He must be something special to be with you. Those other idiots never had a chance,"  someone joked.    

Evelyn asked Nadia to refill her glass with wine and apologized, "I'm sorry. It's not the right time yet. I'll tell you later. Thanks for asking, though. To a bright future!"

She raised her glass to propose a toast. They all knew that Evelyn couldn't stay long, so they all stood up with glasses of wine or juice in their hands. Under the starlight, the employees of the programming department raised their glasses and toasted the booming business of ZL Group.    

The employees greeted Evelyn warmly as she walked from one side of the restaurant to the other. That was where the finance department's table was.    

She nodded to everyone there with a smile. "Mr. Huo is on a business trip, so he couldn't be here. I came here to propose a toast on his behalf. Thank you for your hard work..." Her voice paused when her gaze landed on a man among them.

It was just a short pause, and she continued in a calm voice, "Just now, we upgraded the grand prize for the most outstanding employee of the programming department. But we'd never forget our guys and gals in finance." She turned to the manager and said, "Miss Wang, I'll let you do the honors."    

"Yes, Miss Huo."    

Everyone was now excited. Evelyn shifted her gaze back to them. "With so many women in the finance department, I think a Lamborghini is not good enough. How about we set the grand prize to be a house in Y City? What do you think?" Her voice was soft and gentle, as if she was negotiating with everyone.

Everyone was shocked, and then just like the programming department, the finance department was in an uproar. They exclaimed, "Wow! Amazing!"    

"Do you know the average price of an apartment in Y City? Tens of thousands per square meter? Even a 100 square meter house would run you several million."    

"Did Miss Huo mean it? A house in the city?"    

Inadvertently, Evelyn's eyes met Sheffield's, then she looked at the silent Gillian sitting next to him. She realized Gillian probably invited him.

Concealing the disappointment in her eyes, Evelyn moved her eyes away and interrupted their musings. "Every employee will have this opportunity. I hope you'll work hard from now on and work your way up in ZL Group."    

"Thank you, Miss Huo!"    

Evelyn downed another small glass of liquor.    

She was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she waited patiently for the two departments to announce their winners, and then personally awarded the prizes to them.    

Interestingly, the employee of the finance department who won the grand prize this time around was none other than Gillian.

Although she was just demoted a few days ago, she was a pretty hard worker. It was true that she got the position as supervisor of the finance department through her connections, but she actually had the acumen to back it up.    

After giving the other nominees the prizes, Evelyn began to give out the grand prizes to the best of the best.    

She remained calm facing Gillian. The other colleagues tried their best to keep their voices down while gossiping about Gillian's demotion.

Checking her attitude at the door, Evelyn said to Gillian, "Miss Chi, on behalf of our company, I would like to thank you for your contributions to ZL Group. Since we've just decided to change the grand prize to be a house in the city, we haven't had a chance to secure one. After we go back to work, I'll ask Nadia to handle this. I'll send you a deeds as soon as possible."    

Gillian wasn't as forgiving as Evelyn. She felt Evelyn was talking to her in a condescending tone, which made her angry. But everyone was looking at them, so she couldn't make a scene. She replied perfunctorily with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Huo."    

'Do I care about a house? Why are you so arrogant?' Gillian thought to herself.

"You're welcome, Miss Chi. Congratulations. Keep up the good work!" As she was done speaking, Evelyn took a step back to keep her distance.    

Tracy, the manager of the finance department, whispered to her, "Miss Huo, Mr. Tang from Theo Group is also here. He's related to Miss Chi. Do you want to talk to him?"    

Evelyn looked at the man sitting not far away, playing with his phone. He was now the CEO of Theo Group after all. She supposed she should say something to him. So Evelyn nodded, 
"Yes. Get me a glass of wine."    

Tracy felt baffled. "Mr. Huo never let you drink like this. You've had a couple glasses already. How about we switch to water?"

"No need. Just liquor." Nadia had gone easy on the wine, pouring just 2 or 3 ounces in each glass. She didn't have that much.    

Besides, she and Sheffield had never had a drink together. She had an excuse tonight.    

Just as Evelyn and Nadia were walking toward Sheffield, he suddenly stood up with his phone to his ear and walked to a quiet place. She didn't know if he really needed to take the call in private, or whether he was avoiding her.    

Evelyn slowed down. While walking, she considered whether she should follow him. Three seconds later, she made up her mind. She shadowed him as he tried to slip away from the party.

She stood less than two meters away from him and listened to him while he talked on the phone. She guessed it was a woman on the other end, because he was speaking in gentle tones.    

"Yeah. We'll get together after I finish my work."    

On the other end of the line, Joshua, who had just picked up the phone, was confused. "Why did you call me? I don't remember asking if you wanted to hang out."    

"Honey, be good. I'll be home soon."    

"Oh, my God. What's wrong with you?" Joshua got goose bumps all over his body.

"Don't be afraid. I'll keep you company." With his back to Evelyn, Sheffield stared at the night. He felt nauseated inside when he talked like this to the guy on the other end.    

"Fuck! Listen, Sheffield! I'm Joshua Fan, not Evelyn Huo! If you want a girl, then go find Evelyn. Quit bugging me."    

"I know, I know. Don't be angry, honey. I'm headed home now, okay?"    

"Will you cut that out? Don't come over, bro. You're a pervert. I'm afraid to go to sleep now because you might **** me. Sober up and call me later!" Joshua yelled.

"Drive this woman out!"

"Throw this woman into the sea!"


When he doesn't know Debbie Nian's true identify, Carlos Huo cold-shoulders her. 

"Mr Huo, she is your wife." Carlos secretary reminded him. Hearing that, Carlos gives him a cold stare and complained, "why didn't you tell me earlier?" 

From then on, Carlos spoils her rotten. Little did everyone expect that they would get a divorce.

This is not my work

The originality goes to Miss Bai Cha

~ At Sy Corp Main Office ~
After the meeting, Alveena and Clifford faced each other inside his office.
"I didn't expect that you would support my decision about removing Mr. Chun as Finance Director. Why did you do that?" Alveena said, looking at Clifford suspiciously.
Clifford shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, I have to remove him to promote you. From now on, you will become the New Finance Director of the Sy Corp."
"What??? How can you decide that without even consulting me? I never say that I want to be a director! I'm already fine with my position as Program Manager."  Alveena opposed Clifford's decision.
"You have no choice but to accept this. Our father already approved my decision together with the other directors. It's your time to step up as the daughter of Sy and heiress of the Sy Corp."
"Aside from that, it will be embarrassing for the Cullens family if their future daughter-in-law is only a Program Manager of her own company so I am promoting you now to become a Finance Director."
Alveena looked daggers at her brother. Clifford was bringing up her arranged marriage with Brandon Cullens. She hated his brother more.
"Can't you just mind your own business! Find a girl and marry. Dad and Mom told me that you were dating a girl. Bring her home and propose to her already so that our parents will stop setting me up with Brandon!"
Clifford just raised his eyebrow. He couldn't tell Alveena that his rumored girlfriend was Lillie Davis, the wife of Tristan Davis.
Seeing the attitude of his sister, he knew that Alveena might ruin his plan if she learned that he was planning something to ruin the marriage of Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.
"Don't change the topic Alveena. Whether you like it or not, you are now our Finance Director. You can start moving your things to your new office. You can also do some changes in design or arrangement inside your office."
"I hope you can apply what you have learned from the Heavenly Star Enterprise after working with their Finance Director."
Alveena's mood became gloomy at the mention of Heavenly Star and Finance Director. Because of that, she remembered Andrew again.
It has only been two days without seeing him but she was already missing him so badly. She received lots of missed calls from him.  
She tried her best to ignore him. Her fingers were itching to press the answer button whenever his caller ID would pop up on her phone screen. Fortunately, her self-control was strong enough to avoid answering his calls.
Alveena was about to leave her brother's office when Clifford spoke again.
"Oh, one more thing before you leave… I just want to inform you that you will be attending a Five-Day Conference one week from now. All the finance directors of the top companies are invited so you must prepare for this National Conference and represent the Sy Corp."
Alveena's eyes widened in disbelief. If she would attend this conference then there would be a great chance that she would meet Andrew during the event.
"No. I can't attend this event. Just let the other veteran directors attend this conference!"
Clifford massaged his temples. He felt like having a headache because of Alveena's stubbornness.
"Alveena, stop opposing me already! I'm tired of arguing with you for a whole day! Didn't you hear me? This is a conference for all finance directors. Who is in the right mind to send someone who is not even a finance director to this event?"
"I don't wanna hear another objection from you. Go now and fix your things," Clifford had already reached his limits today. He lost his remaining patience with Alveenas stubbornness.
Alveena just glared at him before marching out of his office. She became problematic once more upon hearing the conference.
She didn't know how long she could avoid Andrew. He might also learn her true identity during that conference. She didn't know how she would face him and deal with him after what happened to them.
She felt embarrassed already for confessing her feelings to someone who was already engaged. She was hurt but she didn't regret loving Andrew. For her, it was still the best feeling she had experienced so far.
"What should I do now? Everything will be so awkward between Andrew and me. But… part of me still wants to see him. I missed Mr. Grumpy already. I wonder what he is doing right now." Alveena sighed deeply, still thinking about Andrew.
*****
When Alveena left his office, Clifford's assistant, Dexter, entered, holding a pile of documents. He saw Clifford scanning some photos on his phone. His eyes caught a glimpse of Zhen-Zhen's figure among those pictures.
Dexter's eyes widened when he saw a particular photo. He immediately looked away and cleared his throat to catch Clifford's attention. He was so engrossed with watching those photos that he failed to notice Dexter's arrival.
"Sir, these are the files you asked me to bring."
"Alright, just put it down there."
Dexter put down the documents on the side corner of his table. He wanted to ask Clifford about the photo he had just seen but he was hesitating. He was afraid that Clifford might get mad at him. He didn't mean to spy on him or something. He just accidentally saw it.
"Do you have something else to say? Why are you looking at me like that?" Clifford asked Dexter who was still standing in front of his table with complicated emotions on his face.
Dexter bit his lower lip and bowed his head immediately as he was feeling guilty. He saw something he was not supposed to see.
"I'm sorry, sir! I-I accidentally saw the pictures on your phone…" Dexter apologized with his anxious voice.
Clifford's eyebrows were drawn together upon hearing that. A cold glint flashed through his eyes.
"Just forget about it. Pretend that you didn't see anything. Is that clear?" Clifford said with his stern cold voice.
"Y-Yes, sir! I didn't see anything."


[ HOT+Funny+Fluffy+Mature ]~ This is a story of the demon god's daughter and a naughty handsome CEO...
=======
Tristan Davis, the playboy CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprize, was forced to marry ANY WOMAN within one month, or else... his glamorous title and position will be stripped off of him.

NOOOOO!

How could he seduce those beautiful women if he became poor and no longer a CEO?

Alright, he will find a woman and marry her to please his demanding grandfather. Who cares if it's a weird strange woman he met on the mountain while going camping. Right?

Wait.. What!? She is NOT HUMAN? She is the demon god's daughter?

Did you say... DEMON?

But she looks so angelic, beautiful and innocent. Tristan couldn't even look at any other women after this demon god's daughter becomes his wife.

Ha. He might as well keep her around since grandpa seems to like her so much.
============
Zhen-Zhen, who had the bloodline of the demon god, was being targeted by the guardian warriors. Ever since she was a child they tried to kill her many times but failed. With no other choice left, they sealed her in the Divine Mountain.

But after 100 years, her seal was accidentally broken and so, her Protector found the chance to send her to another world inhabited by purely ordinary humans- no supernatural beings, and no magical powers.

In this new world, she met the Naughty Handsome CEO, who proposed a marriage to her on their first meeting.

But wait... Marriage? Becoming his Wife? What does it mean to become a Wife?

Though the demon god's daughter was clueless about what is meant of becoming a wife, she excitedly accepted his proposal!

"Yes! I want to be your wife!"
============
*** Excerpt ***
Zhen-Zhen: "Tristan, why are you laughing even though you are sad? I can feel it. You are in pain, right now."

In his drunken state, Tristan could still absorb her words.

Tristan: "Hey, my Zhen-Zhen. You will be my wife, right?"
Zhen-Zhen: "Yes…"
Tristan: "Then... make me happy. Come closer… and kiss me."

She leaned closer to Tristan as she pressed her delicate warm lips into his cold lips.

Zhen-Zhen: "Are you happy now, Tristan?"

 Tristan shook his head and pouted.

"No! Zhen-Zhen, that one could not be considered as a kiss! You just pressed your lips into mine." He complained to her exasperatedly.
“Come here, I’ll teach you!” Tristan held her face then he began to kiss her passionately. 

Tristan pulled her head closer as he deepened the kiss. After a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen responded and returned his kiss with equal intensity as his. 
'Damn, she's a fast learner.'

After they finished their meal, the servants cleaned up the empty plates and utensils away. Soon, they quickly bowed and came out of the room.
"Shall we start our discussion?" he opened their conversation as his expression turned serious.
King Gervis sighed trying to calm himself as he had expected the worst. While Chancellor Vello and the finance minister's expression turned tense. Their heart started beating fast. 
"What do you want to talk about?" said King Gervis. 
"I want to discuss Asteria's finances with you. But I will ask you a few things first." Frost gave him the financial statements, which he took and flipped it before turning his gaze to the finance minister.
"How long has it been since Asteria fell on the financial crisis?"
"About a year," answered the finance minister.
"Don't you have any reserve funds?"
"It does, but the funds have been used to cover last year's deficit."
'It means it's not just this year that Asteria has a deficit.'
"What are the main causes of this year's income decline? " he asked again.
"That..."
The finance minister looked hesitant to answer him.
"Didn't you attack us economically?" said King Gervis out of blue. His eyes glared at Angel.
He turned his gaze to King Gervis. Unhappy with his words. 
"If I say I didn't do it, do you believe me?" he said in cold voice.
"Hmph! Nonsense!" King Gervis said sarcastically.
He gave them a cynical look while holding back his anger. He wanted to help them find a solution, but the first thing they did was blame him.
"Are you blaming me because my Innocent Wine and Passion tea are better than your Stardust Champagne and Twilight Tea? Or do you want to blame me because my economic city is more successful than yours? Even destroying Pearl Gate City for that stupid reason ?!" His annoyance was absorbed in his tone.
"That's right! Didn't you do it to take down Asteria?! "said King Gervis in an escalating tone. He couldn't help himself but to blame Angel on everything that had happened in Asteria. 
Angel knew that King Gervis never liked him, but he had to be patient in order to save Asteria from this financial problem. He took a deep breath trying to calm himself, he could not let his emotions take over him or this discussion would only end in vain.
"I have examined this financial statement and found some problems in it," he said as he put the report on the table and leaned his back onto his chair.
"First of all, there is no new innovation in your product. Stardust champagne and Twilight tea are more than fifty years old, if you don't innovate sooner or later the product will be left by people. Second, you are paying too much attention to long-term agricultural commodities without paying attention to short-term agricultural commodities, your financial flow is stuck in the form of agricultural products that cannot be harvested yet, besides you are forced to spend a lot of funds to meet people's demands by buying it from other kingdoms. Third, you spend a lot of funds on unimportant things. "
The finance minister frowned in confusion after hearing his words.
"Unimportant?" He was sure he had cut all unnecessary costs, reduced the party budget, even postponed the city wall repairments.
He leaned over, his index finger pointing at a large number that was written on the financial statement.
"This is one of them. This weapons budget is too large."
Before the finance minister answered, Chancellor Vello interrupted him. A displeased look on his face. 
"Your Majesty, I'm sure you already know. The Asterian troops and knights only use the best weapons. The funds is needed to keep their weapons in the best condition," he said in a displeased tone.
He knew that every year Asteria would renew the weapons of the troops and old weapons would be melted down to make other equipment. Asteria did spend a lot of money to take care of the military, just to show how strong they were as the largest kingdom of the Andromeda Continent. For him, if it is for the soldier's salary, food and needs that won't be a problem, because he also did the same thing in Euphorion. But for weapons, this sum of funds is too great. Instead of replacing all weapons every year, it is better for maintaining the existing weapons, so Asteria can save a lot of money. Moreover, many of the new weapons ended up in the warehouse. He extended his hand to his side and Frost handed him some list of weapons documents. He flipped the document over and placed it in front of them, showing them the numbers on the list.
"I have also checked your weapon list. Many of them have not been used for years and end up as iron wrecks in warehouses," he countered. 
"Iron wreck ?!" Chancellor Vello said in displeased tone.
"That's right. Chancellor Vello, I'm telling you. The best weapons are weapons that are used, not weapons stored in warehouses. Even the sharpest sword will turn into a useless blunt sword if stored for too long," he replied.
Chancellor Vello was silent, he knew his words had a point. Although it has become a necessity to prepare new weapons from year to year, making new weapons costs a lot of funds. In addition, many of these weapons are unused and 'die' in the warehouse.
He pointed another number in the financial statement document.
"This economic city development funds will also be in vain."
"What do you mean?!" said King Gervis irritably. Allocating the funds for economic city development is his idea.
"Building an economic city takes years, not just one or two months. If you just develop it now, before the city develops, Asteria has already fallen into the economic crisis," he explained.
King Gervis snorted in annoyance, his words did make sense but were there other ways to get Asteria out of the crisis?
"Do you have a better solution than that?" he said in a condescending tone.

The finance minister frowned in confusion after hearing his words.
"Unimportant?" He was sure he had cut all unnecessary costs, reduced the party budget, even postponed the city wall repairments.
He leaned over his index finger pointing at a large number that was written on the financial statement.
"This is one of them. This weapons budget is too large."
Before the finance minister answered, Chancellor Vello interrupted him. A displeased look on his face. 
"Your Majesty, I'm sure you already know. The Asterian troops and knights only use the best weapons. The funds are needed to keep their weapons in the best condition," he said in a displeased tone.
He knew that every year Asteria would renew the weapons of the troops and old weapons would be melted down to make other equipment. Asteria did spend a lot of money to take care of the military, just to show how strong they were as the largest kingdom of the Andromeda Continent. For him, if it was for the soldiers' salary, food and needs that wouldn't be a problem, because he also did the same thing in Euphorion. But for weapons, this sum of funds was too great. Instead of replacing all weapons every year, it was better for maintaining the existing weapons, so Asteria could save a lot of money. Moreover, many of the new weapons ended up in the warehouse. He extended his hand to his side and Frost handed him some list of weapons documents. He flipped the document over and placed it in front of them, showing them the numbers on the list.
"I have also checked your weapon list. Many of them have not been used for years and end up as iron wrecks in warehouses," he countered.
"Iron wrecks ?!" said Chancellor Vello in a displeased tone.
"That's right. Chancellor Vello, I'm telling you. The best weapons are weapons that are used, not weapons stored in warehouses. Even the sharpest sword will turn into a useless blunt sword if stored for too long," he replied.
Chancellor Vello was silent, he knew his words had a point. Although it had become a necessity to prepare new weapons from year to year. Making new weapons cost a lot of funds. In addition, many of these weapons were unused and 'died' in the warehouse.
He pointed to another number in the financial statement document.
"This economic city development funds will also be in vain."
"What do you mean?!" said King Gervis irritably. Allocating the funds for economic city development was his idea.
"Building an economic city takes years, not just one or two months. If you just develop it now, before the city develops, Asteria has already fallen into the economic crisis," he explained.
King Gervis snorted in annoyance, his words did make sense but were there other ways to get Asteria out of the crisis?
"Do you have a better solution than that?" he said in a condescending tone.

He was a prince from the biggest kingdom in the Andromeda Continent.His family was the Holy Knight descendants who had killed the dark king. A mysterious accident took his father's life and cursed him with the dark power, making everyone doubt his identity. His uncle treated him as a war puppet even forcing him to relinquish his right to the king's throne and his cousin treated him like his nemesis.

Feeling guilty for his father's death he decided to give his blind loyalty to his kingdom and accidentally fell in love with an unknown woman. But after all, things started going well, he was accused of rebelling and was cruelly executed. A dark power revived him, but he was not the same person they once knew. This time he would rise again not only as a king but a king among the kings that conquered the land...

Cover by Commission Narucchii / @narufk_03 (IG)

The next morning, a slender woman was seen walking through the corridor of a famous office building in the capital. Her high heels made a distinctive clattering sound every time she took a step. Today, the woman wore a black blazer and tight skirt, combined with a white floral lace shirt. Her olive skin was smooth, clean without a scar, and looked shiny in the morning sun. Her hair was jet black like soot, loosely straggling against her shoulders.

After a day of absence from the office, Lisa finally returned to work. She did not want her image as a finance manager at this well-known telecommunications company to be tarnished due to frequent absences. Lisa had been working for four years at Petersson Communication, a Swedish telecommunications company that had branches all over the world. Her works in building her career world could not be ignored. At the age of 23, Lisa was appointed a manager in the finance department. Now that the woman was 25 years old, her achievements as a financial manager were still soaring!

The woman rushed into the finance department room and looked for her desk. Last week's unfinished financial statements were just piling up. Lisa had thought she was going to work overtime today. Really bad luck, she thought. This was all the result of yesterday's hangover!

"Lisa! Lisa! Oh for God's sake you're finally back at the office!" Shouted a woman of plump size not too high from the doorway of the finance department room.

"Andien? Why?" Lisa asked, her face looking confused.

Andien had been Lisa's best friend since high school. They'd walked their separate ways after they went to different universities. But Andien and her best friend were reunited in the same office and department. Moreover, her friend was now her boss, making her even more proud of her friend's persistence and hard work.

Andien was not as beautiful and as tall as Lisa even if  she had whiter and brighter skin. However, Andien was a kind-hearted woman and had always been the favorite of her colleagues. She was very reliable in matters of keeping secrets. Lisa always made Andien a place to talk and to ask for advice when things got complicated and difficult.

Andien approached Lisa's table and embraced her best friend saying, "Have you heard from today?"

"How are you, Ndien?" Asked Lisa again, curious.

"Hmm, it's actually a bit bad. . Your name is already heard by the whole department!" 

"They know I was absent because I was drunk!?" Lisa's eyes widened as she jumped up from her chair. Her voice echoed throughout the room. Luckily, there weren't many employees who came to the room!

"Please keep it a secret if yesterday I was absent due to a hangover, sshhh!" Lisa whispered in a firm tone.

"That's not it, Lis! It's about Aditya! They heard it from Karina! She's been gossiping about it!"

A slender and tall woman suddenly came from the second floor to the finance department room. The sound of clattering high heels filled the lonely corridor. There was a hint of unpleasant aura when she entered the room. The woman was slightly taller than Lisa. Their body shape was similar, it's just that the woman was bright white and her sense in fashion was colorful and bold.

Karina walked over to Lisa's table and kicked her off, "Hey, single! How does it feel to be cheated by your boyfriend? It must feel good, haha!" She scooted over and sat on Lisa's desk.  Her low collar decorated her chest, showing her cleavage.

Lisa frowned in irritation as she looked at the figure on her desk. She grumbled as she gave a mean look, 'You basic bitch! You've never been deterred from getting into other people's household matters, have you!' 

Lisa had known Karina since her college days. Her distinguishing attitude had never changed. It annoyed her more when she found out Karina was her co-worker at the office. They were both managers but from different departments. Karina was one of the many young managers besides Lisa in the office. Her relationship with Lisa hadn't been good since they were in college. The two were like water and oil— they could never be united. Lisa was not the type of woman who liked to meddle with other people's private matters and didn't think of her co-workers as rivals, but Karina did. For her, all of her colleagues were her rivals, especially Lisa!

Up until now, Lisa still didn't understand why Karina was so ambitious to compete with her. Wasn't Karina held the same position as Lisa in this office? After all, Karina had been very competitive since college, too competitive in fact. Once upon a time, Karina deliberately stole Lisa's thesis' title so that she could graduate faster. But good luck sided with Lisa, as she was assisted by Aditya to finish her studies on time. This made Karina hate her very much. It could be that Karina still held a grudge toward Lisa since their college days and felt like she had to beat her in everything.

"What do you want, Kar? Still not tired of meddling with other people's business?"

"Meddle? Don't kid yourself, Lis! You are a manager but you set a bad example to your underlings!"

"Where did you get the bird news, Karina?!"

"Helloooo, it's obviously from Aditya! You don't seem to understand your ex, do you!" Karina had her hands on her hips and brushed her thick black hair proudly, "Aditya has many faces! One day he is good with you, tomorrow he will leave you haha!"

'Damn! So it is Aditya, huh? a two-faced cunning man! It suits them both together.' Lisa thought, still with her mouth curved down in annoyance. 

"You are so stupid to the core! You still want to go out with a crook like Aditya, after all! Look at you now Lis, you're single. How pathetic! Hahaha!"

"Kar, instead of sticking your nose to other people's business, take care of your subordinates in the marketing department!" Lisa started to get more and more irritated.

Annoyed at losing the debate with Lisa, Karina then left the finance department office at a brisk pace. The woman snorted and cursed at Lisa in her mind.

"Oh by the way, before I return to my department, my dad sends you his greetings. He says how is your mother? Is she dying right now?" Karina sneered as she walked out of the finance department room.

Lisa started to get angry when Karina mentioned her father and threw a pen at her. Unfortunately, she missed. 

"Shit!" Lisa shouted in disgust.

Besides being her biggest enemy in the office, Karina was also her half sister. After leaving her mother when she was still in high school, her father remarried a wealthy widow  when she'd graduated from college. To make matters worse, Lisa was always caught in a fight with Karina. She was deeply annoyed that she'd a half-sister who was just as rotten as her father!

"Come on, Lisa, it's better if we start working on this mounting report." Andien invited her. 

Lisa took a deep breath looking at the pile of papers on her desk. It was also true what Dimas said yesterday. This was a debt that must be paid for being absent due to a hangover!

While waiting for another employee to arrive, Andien asked Lisa softly, "Lis, about that hangover... Do you want to tell me?"

"Later, after work. I will tell you the whole thing, okay? But the point is that two days ago I was intentionally drunk because I was annoyed by Aditya's trick!" Lisa whispered.

"Gosh, is it so bad that you accidentally got drunk?" Andien replied.

"My savings from when I entered this company until now have been taken away by Aditya! That scum really ran away with my money!" She explained, still whispering.

"Fortunately, you only missed one day, Lis. Look, in just one day the unfinished report looks like the great pyramid! It's mounting!" Andien said.

"Actually, I still want to tell you something. Dimas said that I was carried by a foreigner when I passed out yesterday."

"Foreigner? Handsome or not?"

"Now that's Ndien, I was so drunk that I didn't even remember his face and shape!" Lisa continued, still whispering, "I'm so stupid I didn't ask Dimas what his physical characteristics were like!"

"Ah, you should ask Dimas then! Who knows if you will meet the Caucasian man again? Isn't that good enough to replace Aditya's position in your heart? Hehe." Andien teased, cleaning up the pile of reports.

"There you go again! Back to work, Ndien! You don't want to accompany me overtime tonight, right?" Lisa quipped in a joking tone.

"Ah you! Relax a little, won't you? Don't be too tense!" Andien said as she nudged her boss' shoulder.

“You bastard! Because of your behavior now I'm getting drunk!"

After broke up with her previous boyfriend who had runaway with her all moneys, Lisa, an employee at a multinational company, had to fight tooth and nail to support her sick mother and her sister who was still in college.

Fed up with endless life and sad financial conditions, Lisa decides to have a one night love affair with a handsome man of European descent who turns out to be her own boss, a CEO at the company where she works.

For the sake of dwindling savings and the scorn of those who make fun of her, Lisa was forced to be willing to satisfy the CEO's wild appetite. Even Lisa began to think about agreeing to give herself up to be the wife of a wild man in order to maintain the financial stability of her family's life.

What kind of marriage would Lisa have living with a wild CEO who never stops toying with her body? What did the CEO mean to ask Lisa to marry him? Is it just to satisfy his fantasy? Or…

Dera Group of Companies.  
August 29th, the year 2018. Wednesday.

A month after Katrina Fajardo went missing.

Nearly a month after Dominador Gomez went missing.

Her colleagues stood up from their seats. They were trembling with fear as they saw how angry Zoey's face was. She brushed her forehead as the glass doors of the finance department open and Mr. Kim came in. Zoey gagged in her place as she knuckled her fists. She was afraid that she will be stripped off with her position. CEO Kim stood straight and walked swiftly towards the Head of the Finance Department's office and was furious to see this kind of chaos.  

He halted in front of Zoey as Xyrelle took some time to bow down his head despite of the pressure he was feeling right now. He grasped the clipboard on his hand while CEO Kim was infuriated about what was happening. He was aware of what's gonna happen, but due to the lack of information technology specialists, especially Abbey Martinez on leave, he was alert that something wrong might happen in the past few days.  

CEO Kim opened his mouth and said, "I need to talk to you, Ms. Zoey Cortez."  

Zoey didn't have the time to argue as CEO Kim came inside on her office. Xyrelle looked at her worriedly but she just obliged while several pairs of eyes were watching the scene. Xyrelle watched as Zoey disappeared on the back of the door and walked adjacent to the glass. Xyrelle motioned for his office workers to continue their work before the dismissal later.  
Zoey walked skeptically on the other side of the table as CEO Kim pretended to huff some air. Zoey knuckled her fists as she bowed down her head a little and apologized, "I'm sorry for the damage that had been done, Mr. Kim. We apologized for our inconvenience about this. I am sorry that it happened while I am being the head of the department. We're going to fix this as soon as possible."  

She puffed some air from her cheeks as she anxiously picked up the phone through the edge of the table and typed on, but she halted when CEO Kim sharply turned to him. CEO Kim ordered, "Put it down. Calling the IT department countless of times will not do you any good, Ms. Cortez. Their head was absent, and their specialist was injured, and that's why the finance department suffered from them."  

Zoey put the phone back to its dial but she furrowed her eyebrows when the CEO clicked his tongue, annoyed by the fact that the head was absent and Abbey got injured. She turned to the CEO with a mocking and scornful face, signaling that she could not believe what she meant from that statement from the CEO.  
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kim, but with all due respect sir, my best friend, Abbey Martinez, the specialist of the Information Technology department had been hospitalized due to the bullet removal surgery that happened to her last time. So, please, understand what her situations is rather than backlighting her on your sake," Zoey didn't had the time to control the backlash on her words as CEO Kim raised his eyebrows.  

He could not believe what he had heard as he asked, "What did you just say?"  

Zoey gritted her teeth, licked her lips and said in a nasty way, "I don't like that you talked so much dirty with my best friend and colleague too in my work. But with my respect, sir, it's not her to be blamed about what happened. It was the one who wanted us to be killed, not us."  

CEO Kim shouted, "How dare you to talk to me like that, Ms. Cortez!"  

"I'm sorry sir! But this is just the way I wanted you to know that I will be the one who will speak up when someone is being aggravated. I don't want to hear any blame that will accompany my best friend into being a hindrance to this company," Zoey retorted back as she wore off her identification card from her chest and walked out from the table. The CEO was surprised by what she did as Zoey grabbed the doorknob quickly.  

But she was astonished that the door didn't unlock on itself. She widened her eyes as Xyrelle was raising his eyebrows, probably confused on why the door was not opening, even thought it was rotating by the outside view, and he widened his eyes as the lights turned off. The blinds had been sealed shut by the windows automatically as Zoey's office lightened up with crimson color.  

The emergency lights blared as Xyrelle was taken aback to see it. CEO Kim pressed a button in his shirt, and was readying himself to attack Zoey. She took a step back from the door, catching her breath, as Xyrelle heard a shout from behind him. Someone threw a chair across from him and he ducked immediately. Xyrelle grabbed a hold of the handle of his dagger by the underneath of his sleeves and he threw it.  

CEO Kim threatened, "If you walk out of that door without apologizing to me, you'll be crushed to the bone."  

Zoey swallowed as she grabbed a hold of the dagger in her pockets and quickly turned around. But she had been pinned on the door and CEO Kim tightened his grip on her wrists. She squealed in pain as she unclasped the knife and she fell down on the floor. The sirens were still blaring as the finance department workers were surprised to see half of the officers were attacking Xyrelle.  

One colleague of Zoey's, Cara is her name, ran over the exit but was hitched by someone on the compartment. She hid under the table as several people horde in the office and fought off Xyrelle.  

Cara whispered, "What is happening?"  

Xyrelle retrieved a gun from his coat, wielded it, and shoot it by the ceiling. It has no effect. He had seen himself surrounded by the muzzle of the guns, and someone took a step forward. Xyrelle felt the beads of sweat on her forehead as he glanced around skeptically.  


"You were never the best pretender. Instead, you are my best friend. My dearest friend. The trust I build-up, and the memories we shared, it all shattered. You broke everything. If killing you would condemn me to hell, I just have to take a seat beside you. I will never forget your betrayal while your body is dying." 

Set off in the year of 2018, in the capital of Manila, the group of 7 friends, together with the office worker's brother, a popular actress, and a painter, were mystically followed by a person wearing a black hoodie. 

Everyone has a secret to keep, but when someone tries to peek into the gloom, you will never know how dark they are.

Lu Yuxi's plan was almost perfect, and all the shareholders nodded in agreement.
"As for the contract with company W, I will handle it. Now, let's hurry up and get everything running. Also, the finance department, pay the employees' salaries first. "
Although Xixi's employees did not choose to go on strike because Xixi had been very good to them, it was not a good idea to continue doing so. They could not default on the employees'salaries.
The finance department manager was stunned He said in embarrassment, "It's not that I don't want to send it, I also want to send it to them. I also know that it's not easy for them to work so hard, but, chairman, we already have no money to send the employees' salaries. Right now, xixi still owes a lot of external debt. "
Lu Yuxi frowned. She really did not know what would happen if she came back a little later.
Lu Yuxi took out a card from her bag and placed it on the table. With a strong push, the card moved along the table to the finance department manager.
The finance manager was stunned. "Chairman? What does this mean? "
"The money here is enough to pay off all the foreign debts, enough to pay off the employees' salaries. Moreover, the money for the operation of the clothing is enough. Then, I'll leave this matter to you. " She threw the card over Lu Yuxi did not even blink.
The finance manager hesitantly picked up the card. "But, chairman, isn't this your money? Why... "
All the shareholders looked at Lu Yuxi in disbelief. They did not expect Lu Yuxi to do this.
One had to know that the external debt was not a small amount. In addition to the cost of the clothing operation, it could be said to be a huge sum of money. Did she not even blink?
"Now that the company is in danger, what about mine and yours? It is the best way to save the company now, " Lu Yuxi said with a cold face.
Everyone gave her a thumbs up in their hearts. They did not expect the chairman to be such a great person. This sentence really made them sigh with admiration at how amazing this teenage chairman was.
Lu Yuxi would not know because her words would remain in everyone's hearts for the next few decades.
"Alright, since the matter has been clarified and no one has any objections, the meeting is adjourned. "
Lu Yuxi's words made everyone take action. It was as if everyone had forgotten about Lu Yuxi's amnesia.
"Xiao Chen, have you contacted company W? "
"Chairman, we have already contacted their representatives and agreed to continue discussing the contract tomorrow afternoon. "
"okay, I understand. Then, what's the situation in the European market? " Lu Yuxi took the document and asked as she read.
"We have already investigated the European market. Although the clothing has not been updated for a long time, the losses are not very serious. As long as we make up for the loss in time, I believe there will be no problem, " Xiao Chen said like a professional woman.
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work. " As she said this, Lu Yuxi lowered her head and continued to read the document.
It seemed that she would be very busy during this period of time.
"wait, Xiao Chen. " The secretary who was about to go out was suddenly stopped by Lu Yuxi.
"Chairman, is there anything else? "
"It's like this. How is my disciple's matter? " Lu Yuxi asked with concern. After she lost her memory, she had never cared about her disciple's matters.

Her wedding had also become her funeral.
Her stepsister and her fianc�� had gotten together at some point in time. It turned out that they had been the ones who had done it all along. She had been disfigured, raped, plagiarized, and her father had died in an accident.. All of this.. It turned out that they were the ones who had done it all.
She really regretted trusting the wrong person and misunderstanding the person who loved her... ...
After being reborn, she returned to her high school days.
She became a Straight-a student, won a grand prize, fought against the stepsister, confessed to the scumbag, and got lost. Her sister's lies were all broken. Faced with the shadow of rape, she came to recruit them. The chicken was braised with mushrooms, and a grand party was held. She made a name for herself. She was strong. She opened a shop, bought land, and earned a lot of money to be a boss But in front of him, she was a little woman that he doted on.
"Hei di, madam ran out again. She said she wanted to earn a lot of money to buy milk powder. "
Blue veins popped up on the man's forehead. "Here it comes again. Bring her back and open a bank for her. "

Geneva, Switzerland
In a 60-storey skyscraper, in a special room, an emergency meeting was held, which was attended by almost all shareholders of Muller Finance International, a multinational finance company owned by a young entrepreneur known for his regulatory skills. finance.
"I don't want this to happen again in the future, I don't want the company's name to be at stake. That's why I want you to work hard," said the company's top leader in a loud voice, as he closed the emergency meeting.
"Yes sir, we apologize for our mistake," replied nearly twenty shareholders with a stutter. They almost made Muller Finance International go bankrupt because of a small mistake.
"Now you all go back to work, I don't want to see your faces. I hope this is the last mistake for this year," said the leader again. 
Not long after, 20 shareholders of the international multi-finance company rushed out of the meeting room. They almost made Muller Finance International go bankrupt due to an unexpected mistake in which they misplaced the share price of a company that was almost run over by its competitors. Fortunately, the chairman realized this and immediately backed up everything with the reserve funds he had so that the company's stock price went up again. 
The leader was checking the results of the emergency meeting that was just being held, when suddenly one of his assistants came in hastily carrying a tablet that he held tightly. 
"Come in, Erick, don't stand in front of the door like that," said the leader, who was wearing a pair of square glasses, curtly.
"Sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Muller, but I have to report this as soon as possible to you," replied Erick, the assistant, quickly as he handed him his tablet which was still dark. 
"What's wrong?" asked Mr. Muller in a flat voice.
"You better see for yourself what's on the tablet, sir, I dare not show it directly to you," said Erick honestly. 
Without a word, Mr. Muller Jr. opened Erick Johanson's tablet. Initially he was too lazy to open that tablet with the bitten apple logo, immediately widened his eyes as he saw what appeared on the smart tablet. 
"Where did you get this photo, Erick?" asked Mr. Muller Jr. in a trembling voice, holding back his emotions.
"One of our men on duty at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne sent this photo to me five minutes ago, sir," replied Erick honestly. 
"And young man is ….
..."Aaron Sean Connery one of the young entrepreneurs I've met some time ago in Geneva when there was an international meeting," said Mr. Muller Jr. quickly as he could recognize the photograph in front of him.
"Then what should I do, sir? I can immediately instruct the men at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne to act swiftly, "asked Erick seriously.
"No, I'll take care of Aaron. You don't need to interfere, including Anne. I have only left her for a while, but how dare she hung out with other men," replied Muller Jr., whose full name was Jackson Patrick Muller Jr.
"Yes sir, I understand. Then I'll excuse myself, "Erick said, leaving his boss without taking the tablet that was still in his boss' hand. 
Jackson Patrick Muller Jr. was the living heir of Muller Finance International, a company that had been running for decades and was well known in almost all of mainland Europe as the best finance company for years. As the heir, Muller Jr.' (as he was called in Switzerland) was supposed to be perfect, but, in fact, he wasn't. When he was going to surprise his girlfriend, Sophia Hingis, a famous pianist, who was on a solo tour in London back then, he was shocked by the fact that his girlfriend was sleeping with a famous soccer athlete whose football club is sponsored by Muller Jr.'s company 
Since then Muller Jr. changed his nickname to Jack. He was originally a friendly and kind man, who then turned into a cold and heartless man. Jack left his company for 6 months to calm down in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, working as a barista at a 5-star hotel in that small town and entrusted his company to his assistant, Erik Johansson. During that time, he didn't care about his company until there were rumors that Muller Jr. had retired from the business world. But after he met with Anne, he returned to lead the company although he was doing it remotely. Every night, he would hold a conference call with Erik to re-evaluate the company. It was one of his activities that he always did every night, after returning home from work at Anne's coffee shop. But a few days ago, the company suddenly experienced a big shock that forced him to return to Switzerland as soon as possible. As a result that night, he left to Switzerland without saying goodbye to Anne. But he left his men to watch Anne from afar. 
When he returned to his office, Muller Jr. prohibited all his employees from calling him Muller Jr. He wished to be called by his first name, Jack. The same name he had used when he met Anne. He didn't want to use the name Muller Jr. because it would remind him of Sophia, who was reportedly engaged to the soccer athlete now and followed her boyfriend who now played in the Asian league.
"I've been gone for only one day and one night, Anne, and you dare to see another man, who is one of my business partners. You're really great, Anne," Jack said softly, as he stared at the photo of Anne and Aaron who just came out of the coffee shop.
