When Ivan arrived at his apartment, he immediately took a shower at fasting speed. He pulled out a simple grey t-shirt and another grey sweatpants. He wore them and automatically jumped on the bed.

As he was thinking about the situation that happened within several minutes ago, he suddenly felt frustrated, his hand kept hitting on his soft bed that he knew it didn't do any damage to him. He scared of pain and rejection the most.

In last life, he never dared ask for anything like the other kids did with his parents. He only asked one whether it could be granted or not. If not, he would just forget about it.

He didn't even ask for something that was relatively expensive. Moreover, whenever he asked them if he could go somewhere, for some reason, he knew their answer was a 'No', he still gathered his courage to ask.

His family nearly rejected everything he wanted to do, but he knew they loved him. As for his relationship, he never once was the one who confessed first because he was scared that he got rejected.

He was really pathetic.

He still continued thinking about the male god's speech. It would be amazing if he was really with him, an ordinary person, with no valuable assets nor a good-looking person to march with with his male god's handsomeness.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

He's shouting in his pillow. He didn't want to think anymore, if not, another negative thing would be in his mind. He summoned his system and the black round creature appeared in front of him.

[How is the female lead? Did she do anything odd?]

[No, host! After she finished her call, they went to eat dinner together and her father advised her not to cause trouble in the company. Otherwise, he couldn't keep his position nor her life would be easy as it was now. I saw the female lead tell her father that she understood and wouldn't cause trouble. It seemed to me that she was quite fond of her father even though they just met and reconciled recently.]

[Oh! You have a feeling?]

[Host! At least I once was a human being. Although my memories were reformatted many times, I do still feel the feeling of a human even if it's just a tiny bit.] ლ(。-﹏-。 ლ)

[Hmmm, that's good for you.]

Ivan instructed Blackie to carry on the task of monitoring both leads and he mentioned to Blackie to add one more person.

[Who, Host?] 【・_・?】

[Fredrick Audrey Radford.]

[Okay, host! Good night!] o(≧∇≦o)

Ivan said goodnight to his system and he's preparing to sleep. He snuggled against his pillow to get a comfortable position and fell asleep afterward.

As for Belinda, after she'd done calling her father, they went to get dinner together. Her father told her about his life after her mother and him broke up that year. He didn't know that she carried their baby in her stomach.

He complained that her mother actually hid her after she gave birth and with his family blocked the news about her mother's whereabouts, he also gave up looking for her.

He felt lucky that now he found her even though it was a little bit late, but he was happy that she'd forgiven him and called him 'dad'.

Belinda knew how her father loved her mother and how he loved her. He also told her that when the new year eve came, he would bring her to Godrick ancestor's house to officially register her as his daughter.

She was too excited that she hugged him immediately. Then, she asked her father whether she could marry into the Godrick family.

Her father said she could when she found anyone from the Godrick family that could love her as he did. She later asked him about Andres and she hoped he could answer her as much as he knew.

Her father could tell from her expression that she took interest in Andres, the heir of the Godrick noble family. He sighed softly, if she could really get Andres, his perfect nephew as her husband, he would no longer worry about her.

Her father finally accepted her affection toward Andres and decided to help her too. Belinda asked her father about Andres' fiancee that was abroad. He promised to give everything he got to make them annulled the engagement.

Belinda planned everything carefully in her mind. She would soon get to be near her husband once again.

It'd been a few months since he'd started working here as an assistant to CEO Andres. Everything seemed to be normal, only a few things seemed to be abnormal.

First, Belinda, the female lead, came by the office every single day, no absence. She always delivered the reports to Andres every time she came by. He wanted to question where did the heck she got those documents from? Wasn't She working in financial dept.? Why there was another dept. Documents with her?

Sometimes, she stole his job such as preparing lunch or coffee. Moreover, she even dared to tie the knot of Andres' tie.

This was too extreme.

He still wondered what thought Andres had about this action, but he didn't dare to ask. Furthermore, Andres wasn't complaining when Fredrick abducted Ivan to have lunch or dinner with him during the working hour or meeting hour.

Ivan felt like Andres actually fell in love with Belinda at this point and that male god was pursuing him quite seriously.

Everyday, he would get a bunch of roses wrapped in many beautiful ways possible. There was jewelry, gifts, dinner and many things else that man could think of. He got a headache just thinking about it.

He wanted to accept but his mind told him that right now was not the time, he should have observed more. If he was in a rush to get it, it wouldn't last long.

However, his heart denied that if he didn't accept now, he would regret it if the other person took a step back. He was now in a dilemma.

Suddenly, he heard Lance called him to meet the CEO. Ivan nodded his head as he understood the command. He shook his head a little bit to get those things out of his mind because he now was at work.

Ivan went to Andres' office and softly announced his arrival.

"There you are! In two days, you will go to C country to take over as a general manager there instead of Ms. Wynter. She will take two weeks leave because it is near her due date. After today's work, tomorrow just take a rest and prepare to go to C country. I will have Lance prepare things for you and send over tomorrow."

After Andres finished speaking a rather long sentence, he sent him back. He went outside the office and happened to see Lance.

"What do you think of Ms. Belinda Taylor to be his temporary assistant when you go there for 2 weeks?"

This question made Ivan widen his eyes and stared at Lance dumbfounded. Ivan's thought at the moment was 'Did female lead halo take it effect? Even the serious secretary Lance got swiped?'   

(A/N: We're nearly reaching the climax of the story. I wish I could be a good for nothing person that has my allowance every month. No need to study nor work, but you can live freely. XD)
