° Start of flashback...

° Two years ago.

° Tamia Hong, 25 years old, graduated with honors. She had beauty, smartness, but no money. Even though every company she applied to had accepted her, she always wrote a resignation letter, due to men harassing her. Today, she was trying her luck with Senlin, a famous restaurant and tea house brand. She was going for a post as a CEO’s secretary.

° As soon as the CEO of Senlin saw her, he brought her to another room, saying something about, making a good impression, because she would never get an opportunity like this, ever again. The CEO knocked on the door, and after a response, he walked inside with Mia. The CEO seated her opposite of a mysterious man and left right after.

.....

° When she saw him for the first time, her first thought was... too young!!

° Xuan Mu checked her up and down with a sly smile, “A face of a seductress, a body of a succubus. Congratulations, you are accepted as my secretary.”

° “I’m here for a job, not to warm your bed,” said Mia with a frown. ‘Did the CEO of Senlin, bring me here as a gift for a young rich brat?!’

° “Hm...” Xuan Mu, who was seated behind the desk, continued to smile at her provocatively, waiting for her reaction.

° “I’m never selling myself,” Mia couldn’t hold it in anymore. ‘Another treacherous man!’ She felt offended! ‘Does he think money can buy everything?’ In his dreams! She was about to grab the teacup on his table, but before she could reach it, the cup disappeared.

° “Tamia Hong,” he called her name while checking her resume, “Aren’t you too full of yourself?” said Xuan Mu with a hint of boredom as he took a sip of his freshly brewed tea, “Can you afford to pay my medical bills?” How about he poured this scalding hot tea on her pretty face? “You see... I can afford yours.”

° “What do you want?” she asked, disturbed. Her instincts told her to run away from this young man. Wasn’t he looking at her with hunger a moment ago?

° “Except for your heart and sex, I want your face, your body, your brain, everything. Get ready. We have a meeting with Su Tai in thirty minutes,” Xuan Mu looked at her with his charming smile.

° Mia’s heart thumped. ‘Get a hold of yourself. He is at least five years younger! He isn’t even that handsome. But what’s with this overwhelming feeling that he is giving off?’

° “Huh, what!?! Su Tai, the CEO of the SuiTech industry?!?” Mia looked at him with shock in her eyes.

° “Good, you are well informed. He is looking for an investor. There’s going to be a contract worth billions,” Xuan Mu stood up, grabbing his suit, he walked out of his office.

° That day, Mia got to know Xuan Mu and the power he held. The whole time, she stood there silently, observing him. While both of those powerful men discussed their business, each one had three lawyers behind them. She could understand a bit of their conversation and frowned. Xuan Mu’s demands were too unreasonable, who would agree to him?!

° When they signed the contract, she felt like someone slapped her face.

° They agreed to everything he said...

° When both of them were seated in his car, she felt nervous. ‘This car looks expensive. How rich is he?!’ She couldn’t hold back and asked him. “How did you manage to obliterate them?”

° “They were too distracted... by your face and body,” Xuan Mu chuckled.

° “You! You used me?” Mia raised her voice bashfully, the whole time her attention was on him, she didn’t notice the lustful gazes of others, she knew she was beautiful, but the way he said it made her blush.

° His gaze focused on the road, “How? By making you stand there and do nothing? Are you going to write a resignation letter?”

° Mia looked at his side face with an unknown emotion. “No,” she said, “I’ll be your secretary.”

° “Good. I’ll drop you at your house. Your job is finished for today.”

° “What?!” He was too fast. She couldn’t keep up with his thoughts. First of all, how did he know her address?!

° “Your resume. Start to take notes, as a secretary learn to brew tea, my favorite is...”

° ‘Can he read minds?’ Mia quickly brought out her notebook and started to take notes. Xuan Mu didn’t like to waste time. The whole drive he was talking about her duties until they reached her house. Her hand started to hurt from taking too many notes.

° “At least your writing is fast,” he said with a laugh. His Bing Shi would pull out her phone and put a recorder on.

° “...” Mia looked at him with confusion.

° “You have to learn to be more efficient. Next time, always have your recorder prepared,” he smiled, “Always.”

° “S-sorry,” Mia wanted to bury herself. He looked younger than her, but the way he bore himself was like an experienced man, no, not even those leechers could compare to him!

° That night Mia dreamed about him, his charming smiles, his tall posture, his strong hands around her body. She couldn’t erase him from her mind.

° She started her job as his secretary. But did he even need one!? His time management was crazy!

° He never stayed in one place, he managed lots of companies, and all of them were owned by Guan Lin! She got to know that he lived with the prime minister. ‘Can’t he be more mysterious? Who the heck is he?’

° Xuan Mu rarely worked overtime. After work, he had to go to Guan Lin’s place to study. If he weren’t studying, he would accompany Guan Lin to gatherings with his “Friends”.

° Mia, on the other hand, had to stay back at Senlin to finish all of her tasks, which had nothing to do with Senlin...

° Mia didn’t know that Xuan Mu pushed some easy things for her to do so that he could spend a bit more time with Bing Shi. He learned from his last lesson. Calling Bing Shi during work was dangerous.

° Mia was desperate. She wanted to sleep with him every night. Without her knowing, she gave him her heart, the heart, which he didn’t want. The more time she spent with him, the more confidence he gave her. She wanted attention, his attention.

· · ———- · ???· ———- · ·

° Xuan Mu had to work overtime today. Just the two of them alone? A rare chance for Mia!

° ‘I can’t wait anymore. Should I take the first step?’

° Mia looked at herself in the mirror. She unbuttoned a few buttons of her blouse. During their outings, Xuan Mu always stared appreciatively at women in revealing clothes, so Mia took it as him liking that style and started to dress like them. She was confident that Xuan Mu loved her. From her childhood to now, every man she came into contact with, fell for her. Used to it, she thought that the single Xuan Mu was the same. ‘He is always nice to me. He would always give me a drive home. He is pursuing me, isn’t he?’

° Mia prepared Xuan Mu’s favorite tea and knocked on his door.

° “Come in,” announced Xuan Mu while typing on his computer.

° “Longjing tea, your favorite,” Mia walked to his table and put the cup on his desk with a smile.

° “Thank you. It’s late. You can go home.”

° “I can accompany you,” Mia decided to give him a surprise. She came near his chair and sat on his lap seductively.

° “Mia?” Xuan Mu looked at her strangely. When he noticed her cleavage, he raised his eyebrow. He took a deep breath, grabbed her by her hips, picked her up like she weighed nothing, and seated her on his desk. “Continue,” he sat back at his chair like a dictator, tilting his head, he probed his chin with his hand, and looked at her with amusement.

° ‘Did he pick me up with his hands? I knew it. He is interested in me!’ His gaze, that smile, that charisma was too much for Mia. She started to feel the wetness between her legs. “Do you need help?” She pointed between his legs with a seductive smile.

° “No. Just. Continue,” Xuan Mu said with a chuckle.
