Please don't chase me

Secret way to cas- stop someone

No matter where Yana ran to, Luka relentlessly followed her.

Alright, he wanted to talk. He wanted to talk so desperately that they ended up playing ring around the rosy for the love of Yana's sanity. Of course, Yana didn't have to run in the first place and could just listen to him.

But why would she? Luka was weirdly persistent and she didn't want to deal with him! Despite Luka's fast speed he could never catch up to Yana. Of course not, what the hell were these past 5 years of torturous hell training sent by Roy and the others for? Nought? Hell no!

"Just stop it! You're seriously making a CEO run?"

"And you seriously have to refer to yourself as a CEO now?"

"Well, doesn't it sound attractive?"

In an instant, Yana halted and turned to Luka. Only for a second. For a brief second to show her disgust at him. Then the next, Yana ran out of the orphanage.

Luka's heart was stabbed for the 138th time and counting. he didn't understand where he went wrong. Why would Yana run away from him? Why didn't she like him? He even spent time coming here, chasing her! He had everything so why didn't she like him?

Frustrated Luka finally caught up to her. Then he did what every future boyfriend would do. He wrapped his arm around Yana's back and turned his body before she slightly jumped up to lose his balance. He fell to the ground with her landing on his chest, his arm securely tying her body to his.

Perfect. Luka gave Yana a warm smile as she blew the strands out of her face and looked at him. This crazy bas-

Then Yana quickly turned her face away. Seeing him smile like this was not fair. It was definitely a cheat. A mega golden cheat only OG would know of.

Then Yana noticed their position. She could feel his warmth, his fingers cheekily trailing her waist and his firm chest underneath her arms.

This situation.... This situation was too ambiguous!

Yana struggled to free herself but now Luka used both of his arms to press her closer to him. Just what did he want? Was it to take revenge? To get back to their previous friendship so he could ditch her like she did?

"Don't," Luka's soft mumbles and his hand gently pressing her head back on his chest suddenly made Yana's heart pound. What was this? In an instant, she determined she didn't like it.

Since he held her so closely, only her legs could move freely. So, the next second her knee hit a rather unsavoury spot for males. Then she grabbed Luka's arms who were visibly in pain and twisted them before she freed herself.

Mission successful. She saw the handsome figure of Luka writhing in pain on the ground and felt he was pitiful. Then the next second she realised she just manhandled a CEO.

"Oh..." Yana let out. He could easily destroy her if she was a normal caretaker.

"Well..." Yana slowly retreated.

Pretending nothing had happened she walked towards the orphanage. Surprisingly her beating heart calmed down a lot.

"Ya...na," behind her she could hear Luka's tremendous angry hiss and him struggling to stand up. Yana picked up her pace but still heard, "Where the hell... did you learn such... an unholy attack!"

"On the spot," Yana bluffed and could see the entrance before her when she was suddenly grabbed by the arm. Luka's pained face came into her sight, "You should take responsibility for me. Especially for my lower body."

Just now Melinda and the couple came out. A moment of silence appeared as all five looked at each other.

Then-

"Please follow me, I'll bring you to the car," Melinda quickly ushered the couple out while Yana's blank face stared down at Luka's smirking one, "I meant it."

This jerk!

A short while later, Luka sat in Yana's office chair while he reluctantly put an ice pack near his attacked spot.

"I don't think that helps," Yana sincerely said but was only met with Luka's crooked smile, "Next time use your knee more gently. Rub it in a circular motion instead of hit-"

"Shut up!" since when was Luka this perverted and since when did he have no qualms to talk about it so openly? Surprisingly, Luka did remain quiet but his smirk only deepened and his eyes never left Yana.

Feeling like a prey, Yana cleared her throat. Aright, she did feel a bit bad.

"I...I'm sorry for hitting you like that. I shouldn't have done that. I'll be more careful from now on."

"Really?" Luka instantly had a happy expression as he leaned forwards but then groaned and hung over the desk.

It must be...very painful. Yana started to sweat. Luka was still her boss.

"I just wanted to hug you..." suddenly Luka's aggrieved voice rang out.

"What?"

What did Luka just say? He wanted to hug her? What? Why? Just what did he plan?

Yana looked at his form that had his arms on the table while his head was floating in the air. Yana couldn't see his face.

"Ahem, you heard me," apart from that Luka said nothing.

And so did Yana. They sat in silence. Their hearts beating wildly. Yana decided to disregard what Luka said and didn't put too much thought into it. He was probably just messing with her. He even admitted at the beginning that he wanted to make her life hell and now he wanted to show affection? This was obviously fishy.

Yana had no time to think about it further because she had bigger matters to care about. A- the stupid project and B- Carol's unfound hostility or maybe not unfound.

"About the project," Yana started and waited for Luka to properly sit up. He still looked at her with aggrieved eyes as if he was asking why she was changing the topic.

"About the project," Yana repeated to kill those eyes.

"About the project," Yana said again. Disappear puppy eyes! We'll be talking about the project! There's no space for you! So go back to where you were hiding!

After the 8th time of repeating those 3 words, Luka finally gave in, "What about it?"

Yana swore she saw him pouting but Luka quickly hid his mouth with his hand while his elbow rested on the table.

"Can't I just fire the three managers?" thinking about those three Yana had a bad feeling.

"Unfortunately not. I already signed an agreement."

"Can't you just put them on another project?"

Luka paused before saying, "This is the only one that doesn't contain any important company secrets."

Yana instantly understood. Luka couldn't risk his competition finding out about the other projects and offering his secrets and information to them. That was basically signing his own demise.

"I'm sorry."

In surprise, Yana looked at Luka. Why was he apologising?

"I think it's best if you're careful. They were constantly nagging me about firing you."

Yana sneered. Of course, just as she wanted to get rid of them, they wanted to get rid of her. If they were so eager, Yana had to find out what they were hiding.
