My morning began with watering the plants. In the front garden have been planted a few stems of lavender and rosemary are still tiny, and a few roses. I deliberately chose these plants so that the park is colorful. It's not just green like My Neighbor's garden.
The house next door doesn't look like anybody. It's been two days living here. I haven't seen the owner open the door. A one-meter-high wall only limits the front yard of our house.
I haven't had a chance to break this wall. I plan to make it two or three meters so that there is privacy between my neighbor and me.
As I was preparing to walk to the office, I accidentally crossed paths with the chef at the Korean cafe the other day. She looked so fresh this morning. With the sweat running down his forehead and back, he looked much more handsome. It seems like he lives here.
I politely smiled at him as our eyes met. But he turned his back, damn it! If I knew it would be like this, I would pretend I didn't see it. I walked past them, and they greeted me when they got to the security post. I politely smiled and said Good Morning.
My office and the neighborhood of this house are only 700 meters away. I'd rather walk than take a car. When some staff saw me walking down the sidewalk to the office, they smiled awkwardly and greeted me.
I just got to the lobby, and David came at me with a distraught face.
"Boss, we are in big trouble." He said, still breathing.
"Problems?" I quickened my pace and ran a little towards the director's special elevator.
When the elevator door closed, I stared at David. In my opinion, he explained that investors from the Netherlands canceled their cooperation contracts for stupid reasons.
One of the investors was involved in love one night with the son of Mr. James. He is one of the company's Board of directors. He is famous for his love scandals that never end.
Now, this is becoming a big problem. I've ordered David to contact the Dutch investor and make an appointment to meet. They agreed to meet at lunch.
After all these days that I was dizzy with all the reports David gave me, I made up my mind. I had to acquire this company urgently. David has already provided information on all existing assets and stocks.
With the failure of this agreement, the company's share price will undoubtedly plummet significantly considerably. I'm guessing some people will sell their shares to avoid more losses. That will be the moment when I will acquire this company in full.
I will buy 75% of this company so I can own it. I've been pretty frugal all this time. The total assets and savings from my labors were more than enough. This company is engaged in information technology, so it's easy for me to master this field.
I'm a top MIT graduate and have experience working for one of the most significant information technology companies in New York. My old boss taught me a lot when I was a planning manager at that company.
I was very nervous about facing the investor during the lunch scheduled to arrive. But I can't show a face of worry or trepidation. I've trained a lot to hide my feelings. I also try to be calm and move forward without fear.
This meeting was just the managing director of the Dutch company and me. David did not accompany or Secretary. I was pretty surprised when I looked at that familiar face. I asked God what the plan was behind all of this.
" Long time no see, the world is narrow!" The word came out of his mouth again. This man's sharp mouth always heard a sarcastic smile and a mocking note.
"It seems so! Because the world is so small, it's hard for me to breathe. What exactly is behind this, Sir?" My reply was upset and confused.
"To be honest, I'm playing. But the woman's haughty attitude made me embittered. He thinks his father is in charge here. But he forgot that there was one lioness who always hid behind a high hill. I waited for him to come out, and now I did it."
"Um, so you mean this is just a joke? Your company is not serious about withdrawing from this investment?"
"It depends on your attitude, Miss."
"If I let it go and end this conversation?"
"I will continue to pursue you. Because I've fallen for you."
"But it's a pity that I was never interested in second-hand goods. Then excuse me!"
"Hahahahahahaha. You are so arrogant, Clara. Don't you remember me? Am I just a speck of dust you've never seen?"
"Mr. Andrew, I beg you to stop fooling around. I don't know you very well. And as I recall, we've only met twice. Once in the Santa Monica Mountains, and once a few days ago at that hotel."
"But I've seen you from a few years ago, Clara. When you were busy studying Information Technology at MIT. I noticed an Asian girl struggling to keep her scholarship. He never realized that I was always around him."
"I never knew you, then excuse me."
As my feet stepped, my hands were pulled tight by Andrew. I sat on this man's lap. Without excuse, Andrew kissed my lips. I'm feeling much anger right now. I tried hard to push Andrew's body, but what power I lost was strong with Andrew.
This guy dominates here, and he's getting stronger kissing and deeper sucking my lips. My hand reached for the only evidence of Andrew's real passion. I cruelly squeezed it until this man glared and pushed my body to the floor.
"You forced me to do that, Sir."
I also got up and tidied up my clothes and hair that Andrew had pulled roughly. After Sure enough neat, I immediately stepped out of this restaurant's room.
David, who had been waiting for me in the parking lot, looked happy when he saw me walking toward him. When he realized that right now, my face was terrified. David also had a bad feeling.
David looked at the Secretary of the Big Boss from Holland, and his secretary could only shrug his shoulders at the sign that he didn't understand either. David said he would call later.
Elsewhere Andrew was still in shock at what he was going through. Only this time, he was humiliated by a woman like this. He was furious at Clara's attitude. He had no idea what the weak-looking woman was doing. He took his cell phone out of his pocket and called his cousin.
"Hey Steve, when dating Clara, did you ever sleep with her?"
"Huh? What are you talking about? Suddenly call me and ask the unclear."
"I ask, and you just have to answer!"
"Sleep with him? to kiss her lips I can still count on with my fingers. Clara was not easy. And again, why are you asking about her? Do you know her?"
"No. I'm just asking. Then, bye!."
Andrew stared at his phone wallpaper. The Wallpaper is still the same as it was ten years ago. It never changed, even once.

I walked very quickly and did not realize where I was going and where I going. I'm so emotional right now. I've never been treated so contemptuously by a man. Steve never did that to me. I was very embarrassed and felt humiliated.
When my feet started to get tired, I realized it was already very far to walk. I don't know where I am now. All I know is that this road is pretty quiet. It seems that people rarely go through it. Not far from where I was standing, I saw a beam of lights pointing at me.
It's getting closer and closer. I felt very anxious and was getting ready to fight. But at that moment, I saw David open the car's windshield and offer him a ride. Without being asked twice, I immediately got into the car and sat quietly, muting a thousand languages.
David knew that if I had behaved like this, it was a sign that my world could no longer be disturbed. Slowly but surely, David drove the car in front of my house.
I kept silent while thinking hard. Not long after, my tears began to drip drop by drop. Seeing that, David was immediately surprised and misbehaved. He handed me the tissue that was always in this car, then gave me a bottle of drinking water. When my tears started to subside, I opened the bottle and gulped it down.
