In her line of sight, she saw only the man’s face, so close to her. His eyebrows were beautifully shaped, his long eyelashes hung low with their tips slightly upturned, and his eyes were a crystalline, stunning amber.
Those eyes... they’re so familiar!
Staring into them, a sense of déjà vu crept over her. It seemed as if she had experienced something before—more than once, even.
For a moment, Vera Wave felt as if she were in a daze, so much so that she had forgotten to push him away.
Kris Cooper didn’t miss this opportunity. Initially, he had been somewhat reserved, but her compliance emboldened him. He raised his hand to cup the back of her head, kissing her passionately.
As he stole the air from her lungs, Vera Wave’s mind went utterly blank.
But Kris Cooper wasn’t satisfied. Kissing her lips, his hand, which had been resting on her knee, began to move...
The pen holder on the corner of the table gave way, tumbling to the floor with a sharp sound. The two, lost in their passionate moment, were startled back to reality.
Hastily adjusting her clothes, Vera Wave pushed Kris Cooper away with all her might.
Caught off guard, Kris Cooper stumbled back a step and fell onto his chair.
Her chest heaving, Vera Wave panted heavily, her tongue stinging from his intense kiss. She wiped her lips with the back of her hand.
There was a faint smear of blood on it.
She finally caught her breath and yelled hoarsely, "What... What the hell do you think you’re doing?!"
Kris Cooper licked his own lips and, sure enough, tasted a faint metallic sweetness. No wonder my mouth is a bit sore, he thought. I must have bumped her teeth and cut myself.
Facing the furious girl, he simply leaned back in his chair with a calm demeanor.
"Collecting interest."
"Disgusting!" Vera Wave wiped her lips in disgust, grabbed her bag, and stormed towards the door, fuming.
"I’ve already paid your damned interest! What more do you want?"
"Since you’ve signed the contract, you should start working immediately. Go to the Administration Department and report in. Tell them you were hired by Assistant Chen..." Kris Cooper paused for a moment, then continued, "And at twelve o’clock, go to the Western restaurant on the thirteenth floor of the Capitaland Building across the street and reserve a table for two for me."
She’s so broke, he thought, I can’t just let her go home to eat instant noodles.
Vera Wave’s anger flared. "Why should I? I’m not your personal assistant!"
"Because I am your boss." Kris Cooper lifted his chin proudly. "Take a good look at your contract. It clearly states that, in addition to your necessary daily tasks, you also have to fulfill ’all of my demands’!"
He deliberately emphasized the words "all of my demands."
Vera Wave raised an eyebrow and quickly flipped through the contract in her hand.
She scanned it but found nothing.
Guessing she hadn’t found it, Kris Cooper offered a timely hint.
"Second to last page, a bit below the middle. There’s a line of small print in gray font. Look carefully."
Vera Wave turned to the second to last page and, indeed, found a line of text in the middle, barely larger than an ant, its color much lighter than the standard text.
"Remarks: The scope of work herein dictates that, in addition to normal duties, this employee must also satisfy all of Mr. Kris’s requests. Performance in this regard will be factored into their work evaluation and will directly affect bonus distribution."
"You... This is fraud!"
Kris Cooper looked up, his hands crossed lazily before him on the table. He spoke with an air that was both leisurely and elegant.
"Miss Vera, you’re the one who insisted on signing this contract. I did remind you to read the terms carefully."
