Felinia's words made Mella pause for a moment. Her clear eyes reflected the light coming through the car window as she looked toward Jonathan's profile with a hint of curiosity.The man, who usually appeared indifferent and difficult to control, now seemed serious as he stared at the road, pretending not to hear them.However, Mella's curiosity kept her waiting.Jonathan eventually turned his head slowly, and their eyes met for a moment. Something faint stirred in his chest, not out of fear, but because that gentle gaze felt unfamiliar to him.In a flat but cautious tone, Jonathan asked, "So, you also want me to become your personal bodyguard?"Mella nodded slowly. A faint smile appeared on her lips."If you're willing, I'll ask the HR department to transfer your position. You can become my driver as well as my personal bodyguard. There's an empty room next to my office that you can use to rest whenever necessary. So, what do you think?"Jonathan fell silent for a moment. Deep down, h

Mella and Felinia's shouts instantly woke Captain Alex from his sleep. He reflexively sat up and nearly hit his head against the roof of the car."What happened?!" he exclaimed in panic.When he saw the two women's shocked and confused expressions, he immediately opened the door and got out, without even checking whether the car had stopped in a safe place. Fortunately, the vehicle had already been pulled over onto the emergency shoulder.As soon as his feet touched the asphalt, Alex quickly looked around. He saw a large sign that read, "Welcome to Tosari City," along with the familiar scenery of a small city in the distance.He fell silent for a moment, trying to process the situation."How is this possible... we're already here?" he muttered.He quickly climbed back into the car, his face still filled with questions, then stared at Jonathan with a sharp and suspicious gaze."Jonathan," he said firmly, "don't joke around. What exactly happened? I only slept for an hour, and suddenly

Room 308 was the most luxurious room in the entire hotel. The moment they stepped inside, the atmosphere felt as though they had entered a magnificent palace, glittering with luxury and filled with an artificial sense of warmth.In the center of the room stood a large, imposing round dining table. Fine porcelain tableware was arranged neatly across its surface, accompanied by silver knives and forks that shimmered beneath the lights. Fresh flower arrangements surrounded an artistic sculpture made of clear glass, creating an atmosphere that was both romantic and elegant.Ferdyan, wearing a friendly smile that was difficult to tell whether it was genuine or not, stepped forward and pulled out chairs for his two guests.“Please, have a seat,” he said gently. “I hope this place suits your tastes. I want our meeting tonight to be comfortable.”Mella and Felinia exchanged a brief glance before sitting down politely.“Director Ferdyan, you really went to a lot of trouble,” Mella said with a

Leonard Pranata raised his wine glass with a relaxed yet dignified gesture. His voice was calm and warm. “Welcome to my humble establishment. As the host, allow me to welcome both of you with a glass of wine. Let us get to know each other properly.”His tone was polite, but there was a subtle pressure in his eyes that made it difficult for anyone to refuse. Mella forced a small smile, although she felt uncomfortable inside. The man's sudden appearance without any prior notice made her suspicious. It was as if there was another motive behind his presence. However, since he was the client's relative and the owner of the restaurant, Mella had no reason to be rude.“Thank you, Mr. Leonard,” Mella said softly. She raised her glass and took a tiny sip, barely wetting her lips.Felinia, sitting beside her, followed suit cautiously.Leonard smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the two women in turn. He then said lightly, “They say good things should be done twice. In that case, let's do i

Ferdyan finally stopped pretending. The friendly smile he had maintained until now disappeared instantly, replaced by a far more sinister and lustful expression. The polite look in his eyes was gone, and his gaze openly traveled across Mella's face, neck, and body without the slightest hint of shame.Only then did every piece of what had happened from the beginning become clear to Mella. The sudden invitation, the excessive friendliness, and even Leonard's suspicious presence had never been about business. This man had never been interested in Pacific Group's products. All he wanted was her.Mella's face tightened, her blood boiling with anger. All her hopes and hard work to expand their business partnership in Tosari suddenly felt like an insult. Her breathing quickened, and the sharpness in her eyes had transformed into the flames of fury.With a swift movement, Mella grabbed the half-full wine glass in front of her.Before Ferdyan could react, she stood up and threw the entire cont
