Red Empire Corporation...

A black Maybach was parked in front of the majestic building and as soon as its doors opened, a fair and gorgeous lady dressed in an elegantly simple white dress stepped out of it. Her long black hair cascaded down her back as her fair skin glowed under the touch of sun. She looked absolutely stunning as usual. Her refreshing look was enough to make the day beautiful as though she herself was the goddess of spring.

Some time ago, Hinari suddenly told Davi to go and fetch her tired husband from work. She didn’t quite get why Hinari seemed desperate for her to do this but she didn’t ask anymore questions and obeyed her. Besides, she wanted to go see Sei’s company for herself.

"Okay, listen to me Davi. Your husband seems to be in a big trouble regarding some problem about his negotiation with one of his partners so I am sure he’s very tired right now. You have to be there and support him, of course. Don’t just sit there and watch. You have to do something to make him feel better, you know what I mean, right?" Hinari whispered as they both stood outside the car.

"O-okay." Davi obediently nodded and Hinari secretly smiled evilly.

Good girl... go and crush that woman’s spirit to the ground Davi... show her who the queen is... show her that her attempts and delusions are futile...! Pfft, who does she think she is trying to compete with my Davi?

Seeing that Davi finally stood there, looking determined, Hinari then entered the car.

"Give Little Shin to me." Hinari said as she moved towards Zaki and the man, who was quietly looking out the window with the sleeping little Shin in his arms, slowly turned towards her. Well, as much as Hinari wanted to accompany Davi to enjoy the show that was about to unfold, she knew she couldn’t. It was because only Zaki could enter Sei’s office without any appointments. She wanted to give Sei a big surprise and to do that successfully, she needed Zaki’s VIP status.

Armed with the knowledge of Hinari’s plans for this surprise trip, Zaki carefully gave Little Shin to her.

"Don’t forget what I told you okay, partner?" She said as she smiled at Zaki. Zaki was about to climb out but he stopped when he heard her words.

His gaze fell onto the sleeping boy in her arms and in the next second, Zaki suddenly locked his eyes on her as he slowly moved his face towards hers.

Hinari immediately blinked and her eyes slowly turned wide as she saw Zaki suddenly creeping in closer to her. The way he looked at her was like a spell that forced her to keep her gaze on him, rendering her powerless to even blink, as though he was controlling her every move.

Slowly, Zaki continued moving closer and Hinari could already tell he was about to lean in to kiss her. This was something she hadn’t expected at all. In the past, they never started a kiss like this. They simply kissed each other in a flash without any warning so this situation would be a first for both of them. Somehow causing Hinari’s heart to strangely start beating uncontrollably as she reflexively began holding her breath.

However, when Zaki’s lips were a mere inch away from hers, he suddenly stopped.

"You said you hate me but you sure don’t mind me kissing you?" Zaki suddenly asked with his same calm voicr and Hinari finally snapped. Gladly, she manage to stay composed before her face turned red like a tomato.

"Oh. Well, I love your beautiful body in the first place so... I can’t possibly hate the touch of any of your body parts" she replied and when she saw Zaki’s brows knot up, she remembered their deal and she immediately made excuses to redeem herself.

"Of course, I’m not flirting. I was just answering your question and my answ..." She continued but she couldn’t even finish her explanation because Zaki suddenly flicked her forehead and just like that, he left her without word.

Hinari: "..."

As soon as the door closed, Hinari bit her lip. She couldn’t believe what she just felt just now. Why the hell did I feel so nervous just then? Feeling nervous over a kiss? What?! Dear self, are you serious?! What the hell happened to me?! Am I a teenager?! Really? And that beauty is playing tricks on me again, right?! Ugh!

...

After boarding the elevator meant exclusively for Sei and his important people, all eyes turned their heads towards the girl beside Zaki. Everyone in the company rarely saw anyone taking the king’s elevator except for Zaki and their parents, who sometimes came to visit him in his office, maybe once in a blue moon.

"Oh gosh, did you guys see that? There’s a lady who entered the King’s elevator."

"Yeah, who is that lady?"

"Did you see her face?"

"Damn, i didn’t notice her until she entered the elevator."

"I was afraid to look since the second boss is beside her."

"How about you? Did you see her face?"

"I didn’t but just seeing her back seemed like she is really sexy. Her hair was like a black waterfall and her skin is..."

"You... shut up and watch your words. You don’t know who she is. What if she’s someone very important to the boss? Don’t dig your own grave idiot."

"How could you even be sure she’s someone important?"

"Are you an idiot? Have you forgotten that no other woman aside from the boss’ mother has ever boarded that elevator before?!"

"Err... now that you mention it... Then, this means, she must absolutely someone beyond important, right? The second boss even escorted her. Could it be that she might be the boss’ woman?!"

As soon as those words left the mouth of one of the people who saw her, an uproar akin to roaring busy bees echoed in the lobby.
