"President, these are the projects which are assigned to complete before the month of June. The meeting have been arranged as you've asked. Sir Kim of foreign agencies have requested to meet you after this meeting", Secretary Fin list down all the things while placing the current meeting file on the marble table.
Connor lazily took the file and looked at its contents. He soon got bored of reading. He kept the file downs and said to his secretary, "Postpone the meeting to afternoon. Let sir Kim know that I'm busy and I'll visit him tomorrow". Secretary Fin nodded and walked out. As he was stepping out of the office, he heard his President, "Fin".
Secretary Fin paused and turned around, "Yes president". Connor swirled his chair and thought about his decision. He gently tapped the arm of the chair. Sighing, he stood up and grabbed his coat, "Let's go to the meeting". Secretary Fin's eyebrows twitched. He sighed and opened the door for his president.
Connor walked to the meeting room and stopped outside. He turned to his secretary and asked, "Did you sent flowers to Rose?". Secretary rapidly nodded.
Of course he did! if not, he'll loose his job.
Connor hummed and went silent. He looked at his secretary and asked, "I really haven't met Mia Addison before?".
Secretary Fin rapidly shook his head, 'Nope'. Connor slightly frowned and turned around, "Cancel the meeting". Secretary Fin wanted to cry.
What happened to his President? Why is he experiencing mood swing? Secretary Fin sighed and walked into the meeting room.
He bowed his waist and humbly apologize to the members in the meeting room, "Sorry gentlemen, the meeting is cancelled".
The 30 members in the room sighed and stood up, 'Thank God'. They were really grateful that the president cancelled the meeting. They didn't want to sit in the presence of their cold president.
He was scary... Secretary Fin looked at their relief face and twitched his lips, 'These people...'. Just as the last person stood up from his seat, he heard a cold voice, "Start the meeting."
Startled, everyone looked beside the secretary, only to find their scary president looking at them with raised brows. Shocked, they all hurriedly took their seats.
Secretary Fin massaged his forehead and said, "President."Connor smiled and said, "Thank you for the good work."Secretary Fin subconscious twitched his lips and lowered his head, "thank you president". Connor waved his hand walked to his seat.
He sat on his seat and smiled, "let's start the meeting". The speaker stiffly nodded and on the prepared video. He first explained about the improvements they face and later went to the complaints they receive from their recent customers.
Connor absent-mindedly listened to the meeting. 30% of his brain was listening to the meeting while the remaining 70% was thinking about Mia.
Who was she? Why is she avoiding him? Does she know something about him? Did he meet her? Where did she come from? Where was she staying? Does she hate him? Why does she hate him? So many questions were running in Connor's mind.
He suddenly stood up, startling all the members of the meeting and the secretary. Connor frowned and said, "Deal with the ongoing complaints. I want positive response within three days". Then he walked out of the meeting room. The members of the meeting stood up and lowered their heads, as they voice in unison, "Yes president".
When Connor left the room, the men slumped on their seats and wiped their sweats, "thank goodness...". The president wasn't shouting nor revealing his anger to them.
Secretary Fin sighed and followed his president. He would have sigh for the 100th time today. Connor went into his office and turned to his secretary. He placed his hands on his secretary's shoulder and called, "Fin".
Secretary Fin rapidly nodded, "Yes". Connor gripped Fin's shoulder and asked, "I really haven't met Mia before". Secretary Fin wanted to cry. Why was his president keep on asking him the same question?
He rapidly shook his head, "No sir". Connor sighed and turned around. He went and sat on his seat. Twirling his chair, he looked at his secretary, "Bring me the information of Mia Addison".
Secretary Fin nodded and ran out of the president's office. He didn't want to stay with the president. He would become insane.

"Mia".
Mia abruptly raised her head. Seeing the villain holding a piece of paper and looking at her with a smirk, her lips eyebrows subconsciously twitched in disbelief.
Miss Ruby tried to snatch the paper for confirming the name, but Charles immediately put the paper in his pockets. He turned to his teacher and asked with a slight smile, "Is teacher doubting me?".
Miss Ruby squinted her eyes and looked at the male student. So far, this boy was the only one who she couldn't control.
She sighed and waved her hand. Charles lowered his head and walked down the podium with a smile. He went and silently sat on his seat.
Catherine's eyes turn as cold as ice. She glanced at Mia and tightly pursed her lips. Her hand tightly clenched the pen and her shoulders slightly shook. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Calming down her inner rage, she frowned and continued what she was doing.
Sian and Yuvi looked at Mia and simultaneously frowned. The girl was more lucky than they thought. Yesterday was Stephen, today it was their leader. They shouldn't leave the girl alone, or else she would snatched all the boys underneath their nose.
Mia's really wanted to bury herself. Why was her luck so bad? Why should her name be in the villain's hand? Even if she was alone, she would be super happy!
Letting out an exasperated sigh, she shook her head and listened to the class.
Charles looked at Mia's back and raised his lips. He used his long legs to jabbed her leg beneath the chair. Mia was so shocked that she almost scream, but gratefully she didn't.
Seeing the girl remaining silent, Charles leaned on the desk and mumbled, "meet me in the music room before going lunch".
Then he buried his head in his arms and slept as usual. Mia pinched her pencil and tightly pursed her lips. Even though she can say no, she wasn't allowed to. After all, he had her embarrassing and humiliating s*x tape.
She nibbled the back of her pencil and thought about it. If she was able to steal his phone and delete the video, then she needn't obey him.
But, what if he had copies of the tape?
'Argh, this is so frustrating...' she inwardly grumbled. She needed to think of another plan. Either secretly kill him (which she would never do) or steal his phone and delete the video. Even if he had copies, she should at least try to make the villain speak about it.
So that she could think of her next plan.
With determination burning in her eyes, Mia decided to quickly complete her mission her mission and get out of this damn world.
»»——Time skip to lunch break——
"Hey, do you want to join us for lunch?" Stephen asked as soon as the bell rang for lunch break. Robin also stood beside Stephen and remained silent. Even though he didn't say anything, he was also waiting for an answer.
Mia shook her head and said in a regretted tone, "Sorry. I have an important work. How about I join you guys tomorrow?".
Stephen nodded, "Sure". Then he turned to Robina and signalled, "Let's go". Robin glanced at Mia and slightly nodded, to which Mia smiled and return the gesture.
After Stephen and Robin went out of the class, Mia silently packed her stuffs in her bag. She stood up and walked out of the class. Humming a tune, she slowly and lazily walked toward the music room.
She didn't even the least interest to go to the music room. All her excited emotions were currently floating in an imaginary ocean.
Just as she reached the music room, she suddenly came across the boy, who she met at morning spoke with. Waving her hand, she greeted, "Hey!". Brian raised his head and immediately lowered it, not dating to look at the girl. His shoulders slightly shook as he hurriedly bypass Mia.
Mia was confused by the boy's sudden behaviour. He was clearly avoiding her, but why?
Shaking her thoughts away, she pushed the music room's door opened. Just as she stepped inside, she was immediately pulled to the corner. When her nose hit a hard wall, she groaned in pain.
When she smelled the familiar scent, she immediately opened her eyes and tried to distance herself, only to be pulled forward again. Seeing the boy's dark eyes and mischievous smirk, she slightly frowned.
Even though she was his girlfriend, it really felt like she was some kind of thing whom he can pull or push as he wish.
"What took you so long?", Charles asked as he closed the door and walked to the seat, which was placed in front of the piano. He sat on one of the seat and beckoned Mia to sit beside him. Mia surrendered and went along her 'boyfriend' wishes.
"Play for me", Charles said while crossing his arms and looking at Mia. Mia raised her brows in amusement. She didn't expect the boy to ask her to play the piano. Nevertheless, she grinned and played a common song, which everyone knew and heard of.
It goes by the title, 'Twinkle Twinkle little star'.
Charles laughed in delight. He really enjoyed his doll's way of entertaining him. He patiently waited until the song was completed. Seeing the beautiful girl's serious yet playful eyes, he couldn't help but raised the corner of his lips.
After Mia completed the song, she looked at Charles and asked curiously, "Can you play?". If he could, they she would like to ask his help for her current song formation. Mia was shocked by her own thoughts. She would be damp if she ask help from her r*pist. What was she even thinking!??
"What do you want me to play?", Charles raised a brow in question. He knew how to play the piano, but he would like to know his doll's choice of song. After all, it is his first time playing for his doll.
Mia wanted to choked the boy to death.
'Villain, please don't use this type of romantic lines, My brain would stop functioning', she inwardly pleaded. For all she knew, she was slowly accepting the villain, which she didn't plan to nor want to.
She would rather live single than falling for her r*pist. 'Ahh, it's all because of his handsome face', she inwardly found fault in the villain. His handsome face was the reason for her muddled head. If he had an ugly face, then she would have kill him by now.
Nevertheless, she let out a fake cough and said, "Whatever you wish. I'm not good in selecting songs". She was really telling the truth.
She's so bad in selecting songs. She remembered the time when she played a funeral song on her friend's wedding. The guest were so shocked that the bride's mother cried so much, "My daughter is going to her husband's home, why do I feeling like I'm sending her into the devil's laire?".
Thinking about the hilarious situations, Mia couldn't help but laughed. When she realised that the villain was beside her, she corrected her throat and apologized, "Sorry. I was thinking of the show played yesterday".
Charles smirked and pulled the girl beside him. Staring into her oceanic eyes, he asked in an amused tone, "Which show made my doll so happy, huh?".
Mia's brain quickly work in marathon speed, 'Show show show show show show show show'.
Smiling, she exclaimed, "it was Tomio and Jerrio!".
Fortunately, she got to learn that the Tom and Jerry show was known as Tomio and Jerrio in this mirage like world. She should really thank her system for informing these sily stuffs.
Charles almost choked hearing his doll's words. He also wanted to applaud his girlfriend's brain. She was so intelligent!
He rested his forehead against her's and asked in a hoarse voice, "why do you have a brain?". If she didn't have one, then he could at least fool her as he wished. Sadly, this girl's brain was full of escaping plans and mischievous ideas.
Mia inwardly rolled her eyes, 'If I didn't have a brain, then I'll be easily fooled by you and your step brother'. All she could do is now to stay away from one main character. Which is the male lead. Villain? No idea...
"Ok, quickly play a song. I'm hungry", Mia pushed the boy away from her face.. She was hungry for goodness sake! She didn't even get to eat breakfast.
Charles clicked his tongue and nodded. Seems like he wasn't going to get meat. He thought of a song and licked his lips. Placing his pale fingers on the dark keyboard, he began to play the song, 'Freak like me'.
[A/N: original- Freak like me by Hollywood ending]
"~♪♬There's a new girl in my class, so look at us in there.....she's a real rock chick with the red lipstick and the lighters in her eyes.♪♩.....♩♬ ~I'm just curious because she looks so damn mysterious, and my mind is totally blown...♪.....♩♬..Girl, you're drinking me wild but baby don't stop....♬... ♬~there's only one thing I wanna know.....are you a freak like me? are you totally crazy? cause you look like you maybe...~♬♩ ....♩♪♩♬it's not hard to see what lies beneath you and me...♬♩♪...♪♩♬"
Charles voice could be considered as unique. It wasn't too deep nor too light. It was simply perfect. His pleasant and sexy voice would make all the girls faint due to the heat he was emitting. Currently, Mia was trying very hard not to get nose bleed.
After the song ended, Charles turned to Mia and asked lazily, "How was it?". Mia stood up and applauded, "Bravo bravo. What a wonderful song".
If she didn't hear the lyrics, then she would really appreciate the the boy's choice of song selection, but.... just forget about it.
"Is that it?", Charles stood up and asked with a raised brow. He wanted more than a applaud. Mia stopped applauding and asked in a sweet voice, "Then what do you want? I'll buy for you lunch. Is that ok?".
Mia thought that the boy would nod his head and then she would immediately get out of this room, but unlike her expectation, the boy stepped closer, lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.
The familiar scent of tabacco and cigarettes enveloped her nose, bringing her a sense of peace and security. Everyone says cigarettes are bad for health, but the scent really gave him an sexy vibe. To Mia's surprise, Charles lips on her's didn't linger for a long period of time.
After kissing her lips, he pulled back and licked his lips, "Sweet".
Red blushes crept from Mia's neck to her face. Grinding her teeth, she asked in a suppressed enraged voice, "Had your fill?". Charles simply remained silent in return.
Suddenly encircling the girl's willow waist with his arms, he leaned down and rested his forehead on her shoulder. Breathing in he scent, he said in a hoarse voice, "not yet".
Mia rolled her eyes and patted the boy's back, "Take your time". If he always remain this obedient, then he wouldn't get to die by the male lead and female lead's hands.
Charles raised the corner of his lips and tightened his hold around her waist. Burying his face on the crook of her neck, he breathe in her intoxicating scent. Oh how he wish to take her here and there, but he should have patience.
Rasing the corner of his lips into a sinister smile, he hugged the girl closer to his chest.
