The Devil's Sweetheart

66

"Who told you that I am in a meeting?" The door was pushed open and entered the strikingly charismatic man. It was frightening to see his dangerous tranquil expression but at the same time intimidating. With the temerity of the voice, Blake trembled, his body shook like a flame ready to be blown away by the wind. He sucked his uneven breath to calm down from the brooding of the fierce man but nothing was helping him for the moment. He didn't expect Lisa would know about it. He has planned it way perfectly. How did he know it?

"L-isa..." He turned pale and began to stammered "I-I was-"

"It's Mr. Manoban for you." His ominous voice with an air of aristocratic insouciance was bone-chilling. While Lisa treated every employee in the company equally and not establish seniority by age, he has made his employees address everyone with their names even if it is the CEO. But Blake has crossed the limits by cornering his treasure today. Lisa hastily approached Jennie and held her hand. The airy atmosphere around him cooled down a little when he held her in his arms. With a soft gaze that was only allowed for hers, he added. "How long you have been here?"

"Two hours." Jennie was still in shock at the turn of events. So was it a lie that this stupid man told? But why? Even if he doesn't like her, what gall he has to separate me from Lisa?

"Two hours?" He chuckled, a sound that was threatening the person in front of him. "Do you know who she is?" His question was calm, but it delivered the warning to Blake.

"I was just trying to keep you busy during office hours." Blake gathered the courage and voiced out his opinion but the moment he gazed into Lisa's eyes that have dispersed the color with angriness, he flinched. When Regina went into his room to talk about the final designs, he thought of creating an opportunity. She got to know that she has been liking Lisa for a long time and even he felt that she is a suitable partner. So, he wanted to create an opportunity. But he never knew Lisa was so protective of this woman to the point that he started criticizing him.

"To the point of fabricating the truth? Or are you in cahoots with someone else?" Lisa gnashed his head at Blake, trivializing his eyes at him. When he was working, Regina was in his office showing off the final designs since Nayeon was in another place. So he didn't have any choice except to bear her perfume smell. At a point in time, he got a call from Nayeon to check for a file in the office, and in between, she asked if he is busy with Jennie. He got confused and when Lisa asked further, he got to know that Jennie has come to the office to have lunch with him. He instantly left the room and when he came to the guest-chamber room, he heard Blake's voice criticizing Jennie. He was enraged and the urge to slice his neck was at the tip of his fingers.

"I-I am sorry. I did not want to lie. I was concerned for-"

"Keep your yap shut!" He snapped.

His gravelly voice not only throbbed Blake, even Jennie gulped down a mouthful of saliva. It was the first time she has seen Lisa's anger. All the time, she has been seeing his funny and jovial side, and for the first time, she saw it with her own eyes.

"Just because I am lenient, it doesn't mean I have given the decision to involve in my personal affairs. Should I sign a death warrant for your misconduct?" Pulling his mobile, Lisa called a number, and he just uttered the word, the person immediately entered the room.

"Lisa, you called me for?" Daniel asked entering the room and he could feel the atmosphere in the room was as cold as Antarctica watching Lisa's eyes. He glanced at the woman in his arms and he immediately recognized it was Jennie. Although he was not there on the day of her arrival, Nayeon vomited everything. Finally, he was happy that Lisa found his soulmate.

"Handle a one-week suspension letter in the name of Mr. Blake Harvey and put the announcement in the bulletin board for all the employees to see. Give them the reason that he has degraded our respected business partner. Each employee should know the consequences of his unethical behavior." His words knocked the stuffing out of Blake. He accepted the one-week punishment but the relations and pacts he built-in LM would be crumbled into pieces if the notice is hanged on the bulletin board. If word goes out to his parents, his dad would kick him out of the house, after all his is a strict military officer.
