Chapter 2

Inka's Point of View

It had been 3 months since the Dinner and the Auction happened. Apparently, when I walked out of the comfort room I didn't see Read anymore. Nova told me that he suddenly went out while talking to Mr. Davis and I just shrugged it off.

I am at my office today signing a lot of papers and reading some proposals from different companies. 

A beeped interrupted my thoughts as I heard the voice of my secretary.

"Ma'am, there's someone in here that wants to talk to you but doesn't have an appointment." 

"Who?" 

I heard some muffled voices then my secretary answered.

"He said he's Mr. Choi." 

I facepalmed myself. What does this guy want from me? I heaved a sigh and answered my secretary.

"Let him in." 

The door to my office opened and there he was, wearing some light blue dress shirt, light cream trousers, and leather long-wings shoes. I eyed him as he walked towards my desk wearing his famous smirk.

Curse your smirks, Read Choi!

"What can I do for you, Mr. Choi?" I asked professionally.

He laughed and took a sit in front of me. 

"Oh, please. Drop the formalities Inka, we're acquaintances." 

I rolled my eyes and pushed myself off of my swivel chair. This guy is really getting on my nerve!

"Look if you don't have any important things to say or to do in here, I suggest that you should leave because as you can see I am quite busy," I said through my gritted teeth.

He just chuckled and made himself comfortable on his chair.

"Nah, I like being here." He stated and closed his eyes.

I heaved a sigh and decided to ignore him, he will eventually leave if he gets bored anyway. I sit back and continue reading the papers that I was signing.

"Have you eaten your lunch already?" He suddenly asked that made me look back at him.

"No," I answered and went back on the things that I am doing.

"Come." 

I look back at him when he suddenly stood up. What is this guy up to?

"What?" I asked, confused about this sudden situation.

"Let's eat some lunch." He offered and I shook my head.

"No thanks, I'm not in the mood to eat," I answered but then my stomach had betrayed me and suddenly grumbled.

"Your stomach says otherwise." 

I rolled my eyes and dropped the papers that I was holding.

"Fine." 

I stood up from my chair and fixed my things. When I was done, I took my bag and looked at Read who was looking around at my office. 

"Let's go." 

He turned to me and nodded. I walked towards the door and was about to open it when suddenly I was pulled back, the impact made me turned around and I was pushed towards the wall. 

What the heck did just happened?

I was so confused when I noticed Read's face so close to me.

"What are you doing?" 

He smirked at me and whispered unto my ear.

"Kabedon." 

Kabe--what?

"Mmmm, you smell so nice." He added

"Get off of me, Read!" I yelled and pushed him.

"Perv!" I added and rolled my eyes.

"Well, your body tells me you like it." He told me and just shrugged his shoulder.

I shook my head, fixed my dress, and went out of my office.

"David, kindly reschedule my appointment for today. Something came up and I needed to go." I told to my secretary when I went out.

"Noted, Ma'am."

I nodded my head and walked to the elevator. Read was at my back and following me, he's posture changed and it screams intimidation. We were the only ones inside the elevator, he pressed B5 and stood beside me.

It was eerily quiet, I can see our reflection from the elevator's door. I took a glance at his face. God! Why is he blessed with those perfect jaws and slanted eyes? He looks like an intimidating dragon.

"You do know that I can see you through the glass, right?" He blurted out.

I quickly looked straight and ignored him.

"Just as I thought." He added.

I can see his smirk through the glass again. 

The elevator 'ding' and the door opened, we both step out as I follow him to his car.

I know to myself that I am rich enough to buy cars but this guy is really something.

He opened the door of his black Lamborghini Veneno Roadster.

"What?" He asked as I looked at him, shocked written on my face.

"This is yours?" 

He only nodded and motioned for me to get in. 

I hopped in and looked around. So this is what a billionaire's car looks like. 

"You're shocked?" He asked again as he fastens his seatbelt.

"Well, I never thought that someone would actually drive a car like this to my office and to think that it isn't mine," I answered as I take in my surroundings.

I was taken aback when he moved towards me. What--?! Is he actually going to kiss me?! I was about to close my eyes when I heard his chuckle.

"Seatbelt please." He whispered

"Ow. Uhh yeah." 

He shook his head and went back to his seat. 

I can feel my cheeks heating up as I fasten my seatbelt on my seat. What was I thinking?! 

"So what would you like to eat? Chinese dish? Italian dish? Is there something that you crave for?" He asked 

I shrugged and looked outside.

"Anything would be fine. I'm not a picky eater anyway." I answered

"Just the way I like it" he uttered, I ignored him and closed my eyes.

For once, I felt peace and warmth. For the past months, all that I had been thinking was work, I hadn't been having enough sleep and wasn't eating at the right time. 

I was too stressed out that I totally forgot to remember myself. I heaved a sigh and just like that, fell unto a deep slumber.

**

I felt a tap on my cheeks that had woken me up from my sleep. Wait-- I fell asleep? 

I opened my eyes and looked around, I'm not in the car anymore. I'm actually at someone's bedroom. 

"You're at my house." I heard Read stated and I grumbled.

What am I doing here? I looked down and saw that I'm still wearing my dress. So he didn't take advantage of me.

"You fell asleep and I didn't have the strength to wake you up since it looks like you really needed that sleep so I took you here at my house." He stated as he walked towards the couch near his bed.

"What time is it anyway?" I asked and rubbed my eyes.

"8:48 PM." 

I nodded as a yawn escaped upon my lips.

"Get up and let's eat then you can go back to sleep." 

He stood up and walked towards me, offered his hand as I gladly took it. We walked out of his room, outside was a long hallway with some pictures hanging around the walls.

I can see some abstracts and pictures as I look around.

"You got a lot of dragons around here," I observed and looked at him

"It's my symbol." 

I nodded as I observed every picture and paintings that we passed by.

"Oh, look at what we have here."

Read stopped walking as we heard a voice behind us, I turned around and saw a guy.

"Who's this brother?"
