Noella's POVMr. Enrick's appearance between me and Darren was surprising. Maybe I've been here too long. If it weren't for Darren, Mr Enrick certainly wouldn't have followed me here. It's just that there's a sudden feeling of dread rising within me.Mr Enrick looked ordinary at the moment, but his aura was dominating. In fact, Darren had been silent ever since Mr. Enrick had asked his question. While I was afraid that any of my attitudes or movements would be wrong. That would definitely allow Mr. Enrick to make a lot of unexpected decisions, like asking for back the money I had used for Uncle Martin, perhaps.I hope what's in my mind doesn't actually happen. I must be feeling very sorry for ignoring Darren a moment ago. I should have left here long ago and not cared about anything Darren had to say.Until I finally heard Mr. Enrick ask Darren again, "Aren't you going to answer my question?"I could see the distress on Darren's face. The atmosphere dominated by Mr. Enrick did make Dar
Noella's PovAfter the previous series of events, my body began to feel tired. Even though I felt weak and powerless, I had to go to work to keep earning money. I thought so much last night I almost couldn't sleep because of this. What a complicated life full of obstacles.I went to work as usual, heading to the office where Mr. Enrick was my boss. Although I wasn't directly in the secretarial department, my job was in a division directly under the CEO's secretary. I just hoped that my work would be just as fine as it had been in the past when Mr. Enrick and I had not been in direct contact.As soon as I arrived at the office, my eyes darted around. I was on guard not to meet Mr. Enrick first today. Until I was surprised by one of my coworkers who greeted me. Her name was Mina, she had short shoulder-length hair, and she was quite an attractive woman. That's why I made friends with Mina. "Noella, are you sick? You look tired and have bags under your eyes."Mina always pays attention t
Noella's POVOn the way, we were silent. There was no sound other than the engine of the moving car. I, who was confused and scared from the start, didn't dare to ask even though the direction of the destination was taking me.In the end, I could only stare out the window, enjoying the view of the tall buildings lined up neatly. Now and then, I noticed the drivers and pedestrians busy with their business.Until Mr. Enrick's car entered the area of a famous luxury restaurant in this city, I never thought I would eat at this place. Even though I used to date Darren, he rarely took me out to eat at an expensive place like this. I felt nervous and uncomfortable. Inside, there must be many classy and wealthy people enjoying a delicious meal."Should I just refuse?" I thought about refusing, but looking at Mr. Enrick's face, which was always cold and flat, made me afraid that something might go wrong. I felt strange this time because our relationship was just an act.Mr. Enrick stepped in,
Noella's POVMy mind was not at ease, especially after Mr. Enrick said his words earlier about to announce our relationship. This made me unable to think clearly and feel restless. The lunch went by so fast I didn't want to rush back to the office. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep Mr. Enrick out of the office any longer."Gosh... how is this?" My mind was so muddled. It felt like the world was going to collapse right in front of me and fall on me.We were on our way back to the office after lunch. Of course, the lunch made me very unappetising after Mr. Enrick made his wish known. As long as the car moved, we stood still and didn't speak to each other. Mainly while in the vehicle, Mr Enrick was preoccupied with his phone. It must be an essential job. He can work from anywhere and anytime with his cell phone. It's like a new sight because I've only known about him from afar and what people have said about her.I was still lost in thinking about what to say to my coworker until Mr. Enrick
Noella's POVThere were a few documents left before it was time to go home. I quickly worked on it without stopping to avoid meeting Mr. Enrick when I got home. Yes, I don't want to be the centre of attention again like this afternoon. I've had enough of being the centre of attention just by walking beside him, lest they find out I was in the same car on the way home."Hah... my work is almost done. I have to hurry home before Mr. Enrick leaves his room." I thought about getting home on time, knowing that Mr. Enrick must be very busy and couldn't get home earlier than me.Another fifteen minutes and my work will be done. The last document did make my plan to go home easier. I need to send an email to the secretary so that it can be sent directly to Mr. Enrick. So there was no need to meet in person, and I could get ready.After finishing, I stretched before finally standing up and smiling satisfactorily at today's work. "So, now I can go home. I'll reason with Mr. Enrick that I forgot
1Noella's POVMy body froze, and my lips hardly opened when Uncle Martin asked me who Mr. Enrick was. I was at a loss as to where to start this story, while my relationship with Mr. Enrick was limited to my agreement to save Uncle Martin earlier.Should I introduce Mr Enrick to my uncle as a superior who had helped me or as a saviour I had found in times of trouble? In front of me, Uncle Martin was waiting with a face full of questions. Meanwhile, Mr. Enrick, standing behind me, began walking to the other side of the bed to get closer to Uncle Martin.I just hoped Mr. Enrick didn't say any nonsense between us. He was in control at the moment, but I didn't want Uncle Martin to know what I had sacrificed for him. "Good evening, I'm Noella's lover. My name is Enrick. I apologize if my arrival disturbs your company." I rounded my eyes for a moment and looked down then. Mr. Enrick really said something that left me speechless.I saw Uncle Martin was as surprised as I was. He froze for a f
Noella's POVMr. Enrick's question left me speechless. I was surprised when he wanted to know about my relationship with Darren. I swallowed slowly, trying to remain calm to avoid making him suspicious. In the end, I answered the question with some facts I covered."I just know him, not close." I was a little nervous when I answered, but I tried not to make him ask again. After hearing my answer, Mr. Enrick looked sharply at me. The cold air seemed to envelop this car and made me uncomfortable. In his cold tone, Mr. Enrick said again. "Don't let me find out for myself about what happened."My heart skipped a beat as if my life was being threatened. My body stiffened, and I felt guilty for not telling Mr. Enrick the truth. With his abilities and power, it would have been easier for Mr. Enrick to find out for himself. In time, I would definitely get into trouble with this cover-up. Perhaps I should say what I've been saying since dinner that night. About my relationship with Darren, b
Noella's POVIt was such an attractive deal that I ended up buying it. When deciding on the gift I wanted, I picked up a carton of milk because my cereal needed it. Feeling like I'd done enough shopping for tonight, I quickly approached the cashier.The clerk at the cashier's desk was working while I opened my wallet and took out the money to pay. When the cashier mentioned the amount, I was quite surprised because I still had a hundred dollars left in my wallet. Looks like I need to save up since I'm still one week away from receiving my salary from work."Please, Miss." The cashier handed me the receipt along with the change. I accepted with a smile and headed for the exit.I didn't want to get into trouble, so I had to make do with the current money for the next week. While walking towards home, I quite enjoyed the scenery outside tonight. The atmosphere, which I could barely absorb the energy of, now made me calm down and not think about the hustle and bustle of my life for a whil
