The first thing that Damien noticed when the meeting had finished was Ash’s absence. “Where is she?” he asked Noel who was beside him. Noel told him that Ash had left the room a little while at the beginning of the meeting. They shortly left the room and headed to the lobby where they have been told Clarissa had come. There, they saw Ash comforting the lady from the front desk and papers everywhere.“What happened here?” Damien’s cold voice echoed in the lobby causing the other employees passing by the area to freeze. Ash turned around hesitantly and scratched her head before whispering to the lady at the desk to go back to her job while she talked with Damien. The male’s eyes focused on the silver-haired girl who was now approaching him with a semi-conflicted face. “Did a hurricane come here? Why is it so messy?” “I’m sorry, master. But I think you should speak to Clarissa in regard to that.”“What happened?” Damien immediately goes to find the camera footage in the lobby and sa
Clarissa wore a significant dress by the time she arrived in Golden Bull Pavilion. Everyone’s eyes were on her which would soon contribute to the woman’s egoistic nature even more. She wore the same dress that Damien had bought for her so many years ago to the occasion. She arrived and was greeted. Noel was the one who escorted her to the table. The woman was enthralling. With her blonde hair grouped to the side and her busty chest almost bursting from the dress she wore. She flaunted her long legs from the small slit in her dress. A feathered scarf is worn across her neck. Her makeup was nude, too. She walked gracefully as if she was going on the date; but once again, the woman’s outfit did not match tonight’s agenda.She finally saw Damien from afar, where girls were surrounding him. She looked around to look for Ash but she couldn’t find her. Even if she was there or not, it didn’t really matter to her, as long as she could get the opportunity to speak with Damien alone. When Dam
Damien wore his coat and then walked out of the restaurant. Clarissa was left in the restaurant with the same beetroot cheeks. A grin spreads over Ash’s face when she realizes their conversation didn’t go very well. She chuckled, slipped her hands into her pockets as well then leaves.“Damn it!” Clarissa cursed beyond her control that even the other waiters wouldn’t go near her. Even the security guard of the restaurant was unsure of pulling the woman away from the restaurant because he had just seen her have a conversation with Damien.Clarissa held her purse tightly while looking at the bottle of wine Damien left for her. He didn’t even make a remark about the dress she was wearing, it was ridiculous! For her, at least.“T-That bitch heard me beg for his help! I’m sure she is probably laughing at me now!”Meanwhile, Ash was giggling the entire time they left the restaurant. Noel and Damien looked at their bodyguard who was laughing like a creepy maniac to herself. “Get in the car.”
“That’s perfect!” Carl's voice beamed throughout the phone causing Damien to cover his own ears. “I will inform him immediately of your response! But Damien, this will be a very heavy mission. I suggest you don’t take any other missions and focus on this so avoid causality with your men.”“Are you bossing me?” Damien raised an eyebrow. “How will we make money if we temporarily stop business just because we will focus on the President’s request? Don’t be silly, Carl.” “You will be paid a large amount of sum that may cover the cost of those services you will not be accepting. Consider it a bonus.”“Huh.” Damien nods. “A fascinating choice of reward. Well, I cannot allow that, either. My men need to train. If they don’t hold a gun for over a month, they will fall like flies on the day we throw retribution at those bastards.” “Wait… a month?”“Ah yes. I have forgotten to mention it. I am taking a break and I will have a vacation outside the country for a month. I need this detox, or else
“Boss, you should play with the others!” Damien raised his gaze at the employees of his company as some of them invited the male into the volleyball competition. Damien glanced at the scorching sands, sighed, and shook his head. “I’d rather not.”“Why not? Today’s team building week! We should enjoy it! You too, Mr. Noel!” the employee looks at the secretary. “You organized a lot for this event. I think you should try it out!”The secretary scratched his head and shook his head. “Oh no, I’d rather not. I get terrible sunburn that I sometimes don’t get up for weeks.”“Oh no… is that so?” the employee frowns. “Sorry to hear about that. What about you, Boss? Are you joining with us? How about that gentleman over there?” he peered at Carlton who was casually sipping his coconut juice.Carlton stands up and stretches his muscular limbs in the air. The girl employees look at him with blushing faces. They were wondering who the male was as they were not familiar of him being a part of the co
Everyone gathered around the campfire on the shore at night, sharing funny stories at work. The members of the mafia team seemed to blend in well with the employees of BW Tech. Damien watched from afar as his employees from both companies have their fun. Damien gets up from his seat and enjoys his momentary peace. The others invited the male with them to the campfire a while ago. He was exhausted, but joined them for a few minutes so as to not spoil the mood— but eventually returned back to the cottage to further rest.While observing everyone from afar, he spots an unfamiliar man blending into the campfire in the group. Damien knew well who he took to the trip, but this man was not among them. He could be someone else’s family member, as Damien had allowed them to bring them with them, but he would’ve seen this person a while ago.However, he didn’t.The person was sitting around the campfire with them, his eyes fixated on someone— Carlton and Ash. He wasn’t necessarily joining in the
Cold steel pressed against the stranger’s throat as Ash slowly pulls him into the darker and more isolated part of the resort. The man contorts his body several times, but Ash’s grip on him was so secure that even the strongest movement couldn’t make the woman lose her grip on him. Ash then pushed the man against a stony wall and the man falls into the ground gasping for air. The man breathed slowly and then lifted his gaze onto Ash’s azure hues which froze the man for good.She observed the stranger and a devilish smile spread across her face. “At first I didn’t recognize you. Though it gladdens me to see that you’re alive, it pisses me off that you’re here, Pyotr.” Pyotr gnashed his jaw and slowly stood up, but his entire body was failing. It is as if he has been tied onto a big rock, pulling him back. He stared at the girl’s devilish look and feels his body stiffen into a rod when the smirk on her face spreads. “Why the hell are you here?” “Took you a while to recognize me.” Pyo
The next morning, Damien had woken up to a commotion. He could hear people laughing, talking, cheering as well as shouting someone’s name. “Master Damien, Master Damien!” one whispered from his ear causing the male to slowly open his eyes.“Ugh, what..?” he complained whilst rubbing his fatigued eyes and sitting straight.Noel, who had been trying to wake him up since the last twenty minutes, looked at him with panic in his eyes. “Bad news, Sir!”“What is it this time?” Damien grabbed his robe as he was used to sleeping half-naked. “Why is it so loud outside?”“The Coltons are here, sir.” With that, Damien’s mood immediately turned sour. He approached the window of the cottage, slowly pulled it open, and then peeked at the shore. There, he saw most of BW Tech’s employees fawning over the beautiful model, Clarissa and her dashing husband in their beach outfits. They even brought the entire media with them!“What in the world..?” Damien couldn’t believe his eyes. “I thought I had rented
