Chapter 30. First Kiss

A worker who greeted Joona asked why he looked so upset and angry.

"No, it's okay, I'm fine," Arjoona tried to dodge while catching his breath.

"Joona, sir, don't hide anything from us, your problem is our problem too."

"I can still handle it," but the worker who is almost 50 years old still urges Joona. Until finally, Joona told what happened in the meeting room.

"Ah, this is too much. How come we have to reduce production costs by decreasing the quality!" Arjoona did not answer and was still thinking about what he should do to handle Claire.

"Please refuse it, sir, don't take it!"

"Because I don't want to, that's why I was kicked out of the meeting room." The workers' eyes widened.

"Wow, what an absolute power that can't be allowed. The product reputation must be damaged if this happens. Why good product has to change, this is a menace!" the worker grumbled again. There were already several workers who had gathered near Arjoona and responded to the same thing.

"Sir, you just calm down, if you want, we will do a demonstration," Arjoona let go of his breath heavily and shook his head.

"No, it will not solve the problem. Let me face the CEO once again."

"but if she insults you, we can't accept it, Sir." All workers began to protest and began to express their opinions. All spoke and were about to move into the main building. Arjoona started to hold them back so that there was no mess.

"Please don't go there, I will solve this problem, everybody now back to your work, as usual, I will be the one to take responsibility," said Arjoona soothingly, and the workers finally returned to their jobs. David, who also saw him and approached Arjoona to ask about the condition.

"Are you sure you want to face CEO Claire?" Arjoona didn't answer and just snorted.

"How is everything?" asked Arjoona asking about production supervision.

"As you assumed, the technical manager came to see me ask me to adjust the specs. I said I asked you once, and he said that's the linear order from CEO." Arjoona was getting furious when he heard about it.

"Don't tell the workers; just stick to the original plan, there is no adjustment."

"How about you?" Arjoona nodded

"If she wants a war, I'm in!" growled Joona as he went to the CEO's office.

"Joona... Arjoona" called David and Arjoona, ignored him at all.

Arjoona was angry. He directly went up to the CEO's office without asking whether Claire was in the room or not. And without knocking on the door, Arjoona, who was annoyed, then entered and found something that made him even angrier.

"What the fuck is this!" shouted Joona as soon as he closed the door. Claire was kissing Louis while Claire sat on the table. It's a little strange if Arjoona gets angry right away, but he traversed his role as a husband so well. He instantly rages to see his wife kissing another man who should have been her ex-boyfriend.

Arjoona quickly walked, grabbed Louis's collar, and smacked his face. Louis bounces backward and begins a fight that Claire can hardly break.

"What the hell are you hitting me!" shouted Louis.

"What a bastard, why are you kissing my wife?" Louis even laughed at Arjoona, who growled.

"Wife? You're just a contract husband." Arjoona grabbed his collar again and hissed.

"I don't want to see your fucking face near my wife, or I'll crush your skull," threatened Arjoona and threw Louis with force. Arjoona's power turned out to be no match for Louis, who couldn't even get back against Arjoona.

"Enough, please don't fight!" Claire tries to separate. Arjoona, who was annoyed, he then pulled Claire's wrist towards the back of his body.

"Get out of here before I beat you up!" Joona threatened again while pushing Louis on the neck. Louis was pushed out, but he didn't want to give up.

"You can't push me away. Who do you think you are! This is Claire's office," said Louis, shouting.

"I'm her husband, get out of here, before I get furious and destroy all your bones," said Arjoona. She was very scary when angry. Claire, who saw and was afraid if something happened to her boyfriend, finally told Louis to come out.

"Lou, please come out, okay?" asked Claire with one hand still being grip by Joona. Her wrist started hurting. It must have left bruises later.

"Please, Lou!" begged Claire again. She did not want a scene that would attract a lot of people's attention. Louis finally nodded and came out, but before that, he even threatened Arjoona again.

"This ain't over. I'll get back to you, Asshole!" Arjoona didn't answer and instead looked into Louis's eyes with a defiant gaze. Louis finally came out of Claire's room with an angry face.

Claire, whose wrist was gripped by Arjoona, was about to break free.

"Let me go. You hurt me, Arjoona." after Louis came out, Arjoona turned and turned to look at Claire, who was in pain. He only let go of his grip after a while.

"That's punishment for a cheating wife!" growled Arjoona irritatedly. While holding her sore wrist, Claire looked at Arjoona angrily.

"What do you want?" shouted Claire irritated, sick and angry.

"You have guts to kiss another man in the office. if I didn't come, you might have slept with him." Claire pushed Arjoona's body irritably.

"You think I'm that low, huh!"

"Then, if it's not low, what's the name should I give you!" Joona shouted back.

"None of your business about my kissing!" Arjoona was increasingly angry to hear Claire, who continues to trigger his emotions.

"You are my wife, Claire, and you said it was none of my business." Claire saw Arjoona, who was getting closer with a frown.

"We only get married on paper, Arjoona."

"Even on paper, you are still my wife, so watch your attitude!"

"You are a jerk!" Claire cursed at Joona again

"That bastard boyfriend who kisses someone else's wife is a jerk. If you want to kiss a man, you can tell me. I can kiss you whenever you want!" Claire promptly got angry and pushed Arjoona again, but this time it's second, Joona caught her wrist.

"Don't make me angry, Claire, you have to be able to control your attitude as a wife."

"Don't mess with me!" replied Claire fearlessly. Arjoona was utterly out of control. That girl was already making him angry and jealous.

"Do not ever kiss other men while you are still married to me; you got me!" snapped Joona again. Her face is now closer than it should be, and Claire doesn't help calm Joona at all.

"I can kiss whomever I want, and it's none of your business."

"Oh, you want a kiss. I can give you!" Arjoona immediately kissed and nibbled Claire's lips until he bit them softly. The surprised Claire could only open her eyes while Arjoona bit her lips. A few seconds later, Arjoona seemed to realize what he had done. He slowly let go of Claire. And Claire, who had been silent for few seconds, quickly broke away and slapped Arjoona.

Time seemed to stop when the two of them stared at each other after Claire's kiss and slap. Arjoona was silent and didn't know what to say as well as Claire. He only lightly touched his cheek, which was slapped by Claire without saying anything. He swallowed several times before walking backward and turning around, leaving Claire still half-breathing. Arjoona walked out of the CEO's room, captivated. Meanwhile, when Claire went to Arjoona, she quickly looked for a handle and sat in the corner of her desk. Her heart racing and beating so fast that she could not breathe.

What happened to me - muttered Claire with a confused face.
