"I'm glad you like it," Dylan said.
The man began to stretch his right hand forward, touching the back of Maya's hand, which gave a small vibration in Dylan's body and heart. The eyes of the two people who were in love looked at each other meaningfully, deep affection clearly engraved on the lines of their faces.
For some people they had just met and couldn't possibly already have feelings of affection for each other. However, what happened was beyond what anyone could predict. The affection that Dylan shows is like a breaker of many people's predictions about Maya's cold and unbreakable attitude.
Dylan, who served as Maya's superior, established his position as the man she loved within a few days of their meeting. Maya had never felt such a loving feeling. She felt like a completely normal woman who wanted to be lo
***The next day.In accordance with Richard's earlier wishes, he and Louis invited Dylan to go to Sully Corp. Not only to introduce Dylan to the employees in the advertising department, but Richard also wanted Dylan to help him select the employees who would become mentors to be sent to Monarch.Dylan was already informed of the schedule. As a result, he looked well-prepared with a black suit and a vest clinging to his clothes, a white shirt with black trousers. Maya arrived at the place around seven in the morning, ready with her long, flowing hair and the black blouse and knee-length skirt she wore.She knocked lightly on Dylan's bedroom door, behaving like an average bodyguard even though the two had had an intimate dinner last night. Dylan looked back precisely at t
Dylan and Maya continued up the elevator, until the fifth floor was clearly displayed in front of them. The elevator doors opened, revealing a large area with employees eagerly working at their computers.Not only Dylan and Maya were planning to go there, but also several employees were seen getting out of the elevator and entering the staff area. Their attention was still focused on their computers, working in coordination with each other. Dylan still remembered how the employees of the advertising department at Monarch worked, they looked old and rarely communicated with each other. However, what appeared in front of Dylan was completely different from what he had imagined.The majority of the employees were young, with a balanced mix of women and men. With their relatively similar ages, the employees no longer felt awkward if they had to talk to each other about work."They are much younger than the employees in Monarch's advertising department," says Dylan."This department is de
Maya invited Dylan to go back into the elevator. He would visit many places that day, not just the advertising department but also other important departments. Dylan didn't mind at all. He thought it was helpful to get closer to them.Starting from the finance department until he met a woman who was young, single, and just as beautiful as Maya. The only difference between the two was the character and glasses that the finance department leader wore. The woman's name was Leonora.During his conversation with Leonora, the woman kept teasing Dylan with romantic words. Everyone knew that Leonora was a naughty woman, naughty in the sense that she often changed lovers, not in the bad connotation of sex.Seeing this, Maya tried to smile broadly at the joke. Dylan also laughed softly despite his discomfort, especially since he realized that Maya must be very jealous to see them joking like that.Not long after they were in the finance department, the next departm
The elevator doors opened after the monitor showed the highest number in the building. Richard stepped out accompanied by Walther, who walked beside him, while Dylan stepped out together with Antonius and Maya.They stopped walking when they reached an automatic door that was closed. The door would only open if the officials in the place attached their ID cards.Three of the five people had their ID cards, namely Richard, Walther, and Maya. Dylan himself had not had one made yet, and Antonius did not have one because his position was only the head of the department.Richard tapped his ID card, opening the doors wide for the five people to enter. The second elevator began to open, showing ten mentors coming out of it. The remaining ten were in the other elevator.Dylan re
This shocked them; they never thought Dylan would say that. If they were forbidden to give away all their knowledge, then it would be the same as denying the wishes of Richard and Walther."But isn't that against what Mr. Richard and Mr. Walther want?" asked one of the female mentors."I don't care. Our reputation is not judged by Monarch but by client satisfaction. Over the past few quarters, our clients' use of our advertising services has increased," Dylan replied."That already proves that our reputation with the public is good. Monarch is trying to take advantage of that by training their employees with Sully's best," said Dylan."So, what should we give them?" the mentor asked, confused."My assistant, Maya, will give y
The elevator doors opened just as the monitor showed the number one, indicating the elevator had reached the lowest floor.Some employees standing in the front row began to take their feet, exiting the elevator to prepare for lunch; some went outside, some chose to have lunch at the company cafeteria.It was the same as what Dylan and Maya were about to do. Dylan initially planned to take Maya out to eat, as he thought it would be more comfortable and private. However, Maya said they would have lunch at the cafeteria. This was, of course, with the sole intention that Leonora would no longer tease Dylan.In the end, Dylan agreed to Maya's request and joined the other employees who would have lunch in the cafeteria. Maya smiled triumphantly when she saw Leonora leaving with her coworkers to have lunch at one of her favorite restaurants.Dylan occasionally glanced at Maya and sighed softly when he realized, "Your jealousy is scary, Maya.""Oh really? I apologize for clutching your hand e
Together with Maya, Dylan took off from the Sully Corp office to return to his residence. Maya put her tabs in a black suitcase as Dylan's work schedule was over for the day.He and Maya left in a black sedan, returning to the Sullivan residence. However, as he continued driving on the city street approaching the residence, Dylan's attention was drawn to the right, to a large mall with many visitors coming in and out.Dylan admitted that he was quite tired that afternoon, tired of mind and energy. He was even considering releasing this fatigue by enjoying himself together at the mall, of course, with Maya."What is it, Mr. Dylan?" asked Maya, curious about the direction of Dylan's sideways glance."I don't know what else to do at the moment. Even if I return to the Sulli
Discussions about revenge plans were replaced with conversations about life between them. The two of them sat on the long sofa available at the venue, sipping the wine in their glasses.Maya enjoyed the moment so much that she did not hesitate to tell the story of her adventurous past with male friends.Dylan had heard the story from Maya's father, but somehow, the version that Maya told him was much different than that of her parents."I still remember there was one child who was so whiny. The slightest fall made him cry, and he continued like that until I had to stop his crying," Maya said, taking a sip of wine from her glass."Then what about that child today? Has he fully become a man?" asked Dylan, curious."The last time I saw him before you came to this residence, he was already a martial artist," said Maya, smiling broadly with an occasional soft laugh."A martial artist?" asked Dylan, gasping in surprise."That's right. Even
