New York, The USA.
A tall figure with a slender body, blonde hair which was touching her waist, seemingly 5'7" was walking towards the receptionist. Wearing a sleeveless mini skirt, showing separation, their Lips were hot pink as she was walking full of confidence. The men around the office drooled over her hot figure which was surely Seductive.
" Is William here? I have an appointment with him" Tucking her hair behind her ear, She talked with full of arrogance.
But the Receptionist seemed to be smiling and respectfully stood up.. " May I know your name, Ma'am?" She looked at her hoping to get an answer but making her a little uneasy, The lady slammed the table.
" You must be kidding me. Don't you know who I am? Call William and tell him I am here." Her eyes were bloodshot.
But the Receptionist seemed to look calm. She kept her lips curved with a smile and was respectful. " It's my bad. I don't know your name, Ma'am. May I know your name so that I can check if you have an appointment with Boss"
" You bitch!! " Gritting her teeth, She lunged at the receptionist who was seemingly calm and unbothered. After seeing her being so pushy and ill-mannered, the other employees were starting gossiping around her.
When she realized it might give her the demerits to become Mrs. Kingston if anyone reports her actions. She turned her expression sweet and gentle and curved her lips upright showing a fake smile with a twisted face.
" I am Sonya Heather. Can I meet him now?" Her voice turned soft but her eyes were cold like she would able to scathe the girl anytime.
" Sorry, Miss. You can't just meet him, Because in his schedule, meeting you hasn't been scheduled. Please contact Mr Alex, Boss's assistant to have permission to meet Boss." She explained it heedfully.
" How dare you! I am the daughter of The founder of HL company. Why do you think I need to get an appointment to meet him? We are going to marry each other. Just wait for how I kick you out of the company."
Notwithstanding, She yelled claiming that she would be Mrs Kingston. But A sense of nervousness appeared in the crowd who were enjoying the show as soon as an unworldly handsome figure walked inside followed by his two bodyguards and his Personal Assistant, Alex.
" What's the problem here? Why are you gathering in the lobby?"
Alex's voice resounded throughout the entire room. Everyone immediately left to avoid any kind of threat to Their Jobs.
" Hello. Mr Alex. This Lady is hoping to meet Boss. But she has no appointments. So we can't let her in.." The receptionist responded to the situation.
Alex looked at Sonya who was eyeing his Boss William Kingston, The CEO of KS corporation.
" William. I was waiting for you. I'm Sonya. The girl you were introduced to at the party...Rem- "
As Sonya approached the man, She felt a cold gaze on her with the eyes of the man who stepped inside the elevator. He was putting his hands in his pants pocket, totally indifferent and with no mercy in those eyes.
Despite having a devastatingly handsome face, There had a rumor that he liked actresses or beautiful ladies, and was the playboy. Because of his handsomeness and wealthy background. The ladies around him loved to fantasize about him in their dreams.
He owned half of the entertainment company and the great and talented actors were the production of his company. As such, He became the No#1 in trend just because of ladies' ideal types. Even didn't let him out of the list of being a playboy. Dating multiple actresses or being a one-night-stand boy who went to a bar to have fun every night. What was totally rumors but he didn't even care about it.
" So..Ms. Sonya! How may I help you?" Alex knew how sarcastic he was sounding calling her Ms. But to keep his composure as a personal assistant of the richest CEO. He should act that way.
" I am here to talk to Mr Kingston. Tell him I have something urgent to say. Regardless of the matter of what is urgent, I will explain everything to him. So You don't need to worry about it."
Alex heaved a sigh with a sarcastic laugh. The lady in front of him was deciding everything on her own.
"Guards. Usher the distinguished lady out and don't let her come back into the company without Boss's permission. Have a good day, Miss Sonya."
Alex was known as the shadow of William. His behavior reminded others of the perfect assistant of their Boss who showed no mercy on those who broke the rules. The rules were made by William himself but Alex was perfectly applying them on behalf of his Boss.
Alex went to the 7th floor after sending Sonya off. He entered the massive spacious and cozy office of his Boss. He found his Boss leaning his back into the chair and rubbing the bridge of his nose frustratedly.
" Boss. Water. " He served the glass of water in front of William Kingston, noticing him being in a bad mood.
"Why not changing another psychiatrist? Your insomnia hasn't gotten better yet.." With concern, He Could able to talk.
William straightened his back. Looked at Alex who was standing in front of him frowning.
William let out a sigh, He remembered how long he hadn't had a good sleep. When was the first time he slept? Five years ago, under some unfamiliar basement. He slept for too long in his 15 years long insomnia.
Five years ago, William had just returned from abroad after graduating. He had intended to meet his father on the way home but suddenly, an old lady appeared in front of him and asked for help. Since his chauffeur hadn't arrived with a car, He had to respond to the old lady who was looking pitiful.
Despite being unwilling, He decided to give her a hand to help her cross the road. But the things happened as faster that all he could understand was that he smelled something odd and his world collapsed.
After the incident, He had no idea where he was taken until he seemingly awoke with heat in his body. He felt the unbearable hotness all over his body.
But All he could remember was that he was with a woman by his side cold, her smooth skin, and long hands were around his waist sleeping soundly until he lost his sense. But he had slept for a long time in that Basement. However, When he felt sober and woke up, He didn't see the lady next to him but some pieces of clothes on his body.
Unfortunately, He had to call his father to deliver some clothes since he had no clothes at that time.
The memories were still fresh in his mind. He was embarrassed when he had to wait without clothes but he wanted to sleep once again.
He was so desperate to get some sleep that he didn't mind to unconscious himself with chloroform but Doctor strictly forbids him about it. But the Results were disappointing once again. No matter what he couldn't able to fall asleep.
So. Even though five years had passed, He still kept searching for the girl who was by his side. He checked all the places. There had no surveillance cameras around the basement or outside.
Displeasure started to bubble up in his heart. The disappointment of not being able to find a single girl who had slept with him made him more cold.
He thought it was a failure which he hated most. He hated to fail. But After five years, He still kept searching without giving up on the girl who helped him to sleep

Alex cleaned his throat before placing the files on the table. He was instructed to arrange everything for the meeting with new clients. But William seemed to be a little off now.
" Boss. The client who wanted to work with us, Refused to do it."
William chugged the water and held the files. A crease appeared on their forehead when he found it was indeed an important project.
"Why? It's a profitable and good project. What's going on?" He asked flipping the pages one by one.
Alex tapped on the iPad and showed another document.
" They said they don't need the project but they offered us to collaborate with JK company for this project.." Alex explained.
He
William rapped his fingers impatiently on the desk before he zoomed the contract paper with some conditions. He frowned hard while reading the conditions.
" Isn't Mr. Kearney in New York? What does it mean by the other party would like to see me go to Australia to discuss the matter?"
The JK family never showed up at the business party or collaborate with native companies.. Since Tanisha had been staying abroad, Most of her projects were with Some french or Australian Companies who were powerful like she was.
So, The real CEO of JK company identity was still unaware to everyone. As a result, William didn't know who was the CEO at all.
" The Other party is the CEO of JK enterprise, Tanisha Silvia. She doesn't stay here. She has been staying in Australia with her family. I guess.."
Was all Alex said to his Boss as his eyes settled on William's unreadable expression?" What will you do? The project is huge than the previous one. JK Enterprise is also 2nd in a successful company on the list. After our company, They are ruling society perfectly.."
Alex said with seriousness. Also, he had little curiosity about Tanisha the daughter of the JK family who held the title" Tomboy" when he was in high school.
" Prepare everything. Contact the Boss of JK Enterprise. We would love to have a good collaboration with them.." He responded Seriously.
" OK.Boss. "
After Alex left, He thought to sign the papers before the next meeting but he was being disturbed by the beeping sound of his silent phone. He looked at the phone No. registered with " Mom" And picked up the call.
" What's wrong? I told you I have no time for attending the family dinner." His voice resounded as pissed and impatient.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the phone, he could hear a sweet voice of a female.
" William! It's been a while. Won't you meet me?"
