2025-08-06 16:07:23A deafening boom echoed through the room when Liam desperately tried to push the massive double doors open. They would not budge. Not even a centimeter. His breathing became more strained as he pulled on the handles, his heart pounding further with each failed attempt.
"Damn," he swore, stepping back, staring at the stuck doors as if ordering them to be opened. His gaze shot to the windows—his last hope. But a simple tug on the latches showed futility. Locked. Bolted. No escape. A heavy sensation had crept into his chest. This was not some bizarre prank or a top-security measure. He was being kept hostage. His mind went back to the events of the day. The stranger is fainting at the airport. The unusual smile of the receptionist—once, twice. And this. Being held captive in a room in a firm that could have someone abducted and never be seen again. His fists clenched. His gasps were brief and shallow. Panic was rising up his t

Chap 13: The Nights
As Liam takes his uniform and leaves the office, the scene is shifted as we enter a room enveloped by darkness.Swallowing every hint of light. The air was thick with tension, and the only sound that echoed through the stillness was the occasional tap against the surface of a sleek black tablet. The glow from the screen barely illuminated the figure seated at the grand office table, his features shrouded in the void of the night.His fingers moved with calculated precision as he scrolled through the latest headlines."Tianhu CEO Surprises Employees Disguised as Delivery Worker!""Tianhu's CEO Visits the Heart of His Company—A Stroke of Genius or a PR Stunt?""Exclusive: Employees Praise CEO's Down-to-Earth Approach"A smile that was meant to be pleased twitched on his lips before quickly vanishing. His grip on the device tightened as he scanned the comments beneath the article:"Wow, the CEO is truly one of a kind! This is why I respect Tianhu!""I can't believe he actually did that.
Chap 12: Play Pretend
"Sit down and be cool. Do not display any sign of weakness." The voice commanded as it noticed the abrupt change in Liam's posture.Liam stuttered, his throat dry. The voice was quiet, even amused, but underlying that was an undercurrent of command that knotted his stomach. All his instincts screamed at him to run, but what could he do? He had no idea who was manipulating him, to what purpose, or what would be the result if he did not comply.He gingerly lowered himself into the massive chair behind the desk. His hands clenched on the armrests, his body rigid as he struggled to keep his nerves in check."Good boy," the voice purred, almost teasing. "Now, don't fidget. Let them come to you. In order to uphold the image of a cold and ruthless CEO, you have to always keep them waiting and know when to approach you."The door shut behind the two men as they entered with a suppressed confidence, their polished shoes making no sound on the plush carpet as they moved towards us.One of them,

Chap 10: Baited Delivery
As Madam Maeve smirked in joy, the sun rolls in and its was now 4 pm when Liam strolled into the delivery office, rolling his shoulders to shake off the lingering tension from his earlier encounter. The moment he stepped inside, a wave of noise crashed over him.“He’s back!” someone shouted dramatically.Liam barely had time to blink before a small mob of coworkers surrounded him, grinning like hyenas.“Bro, we need DETAILS.”“What happened with the Demoness Receptionist?!”“Did she glare at you so hard your soul left your body?”Liam sighed, raising his hands in surrender. “Alright, alright. She was just as terrifying as you all said. At first.”A collective murmur of agreement rippled through the group.“Of course! That’s the Demoness for you!”“Cold, ruthless, and emotionless.”Liam rubbed his chin. “Yeah. but then, out of nowhere, she smiled at me.”Dead silence.The entire office froze. Even the ones who were just half-listening from their desks stopped what they were doing.Then
Chap 9: The Ghost Ceo
Later that day in the Tian Mansion.Lucas' room was eerily silent, broken only by the rhythmic beeping of the monitors connected to Lucas’s unconscious body. The once-powerful heir of the Tianhu Group now lay motionless, his usually sharp features pale and weak. The air was thick with the scent of disinfectants and medicine.Mr Nolan stood by the window, his arms crossed tightly over his chest, his mind heavy with worry. The stillness of the room was only disturbed when his phone vibrated in his pocket.He barely glanced at the caller ID before answering."What is it?" His voice was clipped, impatient.The employee at the other end of the line hesitated before speaking."Sir, we just wanted to inform you that the CEO personally visited the company earlier today… disguised as a delivery person."Mr Nolan froze.His fingers gripped the phone tighter as he slowly turned his head to look at the real Lucas—lying unconscious in bed."Say that again?" His voice lowered dangerously."The CEO
Chap 8: Identity Mishaps
The moment Liam stepped out of the taxi in front of Tianhu Group, he instantly regretted not faking an illness to get out of this.The massive skyscraper loomed over him like some rich person’s middle finger to society, its glass exterior gleaming under the sun. The golden letters spelling "Tianhu Group" practically screamed "If you’re poor, don’t even breathe near us."He let out a low whistle. “Damn. No wonder they’re so picky about deliveries. This place is basically a money-printing machine.”Adjusting the small, metal-sealed package under his arm, he sighed and stepped forward, mentally preparing himself for what was about to be the worst delivery experience of his life.As soon as he walked through the glass doors, he was greeted by sheer luxury—marble floors, towering chandeliers, and a reception desk so polished it could probably blind people.But none of that mattered.Because sitting at the front desk was her.The legendary Demoness Receptionist.She had an aura so cold, Lia
