I stood in the bathroom mirror looking at myself.

I have to stop letting his actions affect me before someone notices.

I took a deep breath before I left the restroom and buried my feelings in my left shirt pocket. I needed to sell this network, I'll sell of Adonis's dead weight right after.

I walked back to the conference room to be greeted with stern faces and a tense atmosphere.

"Joh-eun Achim," I say starting the meeting that is going to determine my pay for the next 6 months.

While presenting I could feel his eyes on me, with every movement his eyes followed. Like a cougar waiting to leap on its prey. From when I passed out the detailed layout of the overseas branch we were going to build with their funding until I finished with applause.

As the board members continued to exit the room, I tried to avoid Adonis at all costs. I hurried to put my folders and put everything back the way it was. In the process of rushing, I knocked over a glass on to the floor and bent down to pick it up only to feel a hand softly brush against my ass.

"Drop something?" he asked playing clueless and giving me a smirk as I stood up quickly annoyed.

"Touch my ass again and I'll bite your hand off," I growled.

"I think those pit bulls are starting to rub off on you Asia. I'm just teasing, you know if I wanted you I'd call you to my office, and show you who's the real boss," he whispered in my ear.

I bit my lip at the thought, even though his personality trait was being a dick. He sure did know how to use his. Before I could even respond, the devil in Prada shows up.

"Ahem, Asia I'd like you to control yourself around my husband if you please."

I rolled my eyes in annoyance at the sound her voice; Theo Laurent. America's sweetheart has been at or in every Victoria Secret Model show since it began in 1995. She helps design designer clothes, handbags, and watches for Louis Vitton. In her free time, she does yoga and spends time with her loving husband yet can't even take care of her kids.

"Babe stop that, Asia wants no dealings with a man like me," he stated with a stern voice before kissing Theo as if he missed her. Knowing he wanted me a few seconds ago.

"Anyways, just email me the final statement when you get done being a puppy." I retort walking out of the room.

I smirked as I could hear Theo's mouth let out a loud gasp.

As I sat back down in my office I did a little happy dance for selling a whole new network, which means a raise might be in my favor.

"Did I interrupt a private moment?" A familiar voice said standing at my door with a smile.

Ishani Finau, the country's most wanted ex-hacker is now our company's network designer. Adonis worked out some deal with the Federal government to keep her from being behind bars. Ishani is the most gorgeous woman I've ever laid eyes on at this office. She's the biggest flirt known to men and women.

"Hi Ishani, I just aced the deal with the Koreans with the design you made. Who wouldn't dance to that?" I say hurrying to sit back down to make less of an embarrassment of myself in front of her.

"I mean at least you're happy, that's all that matters to me," she smirked while approaching my desk.

"W-what can I help you with?" I stuttered.

"Just was checking up on the princess of this castle since I know meetings can be stressful. Mind if I give you a massage because you still seem stressed director," she said softly while walking behind me to rub my shoulders.
