Preparations I

"Okay, let's end the meeting here."

The projection turned off, and everyone stood from their seats. They shook each other's hand and picked up their folders. In a second, the meeting room was empty again.

Devyn rubbed her forehead while trailing the corridors going back to her office. She pushed the door and walked past the coach.

"Mr Kiel, did you already call Miss Feng about—" she halted and looked back.

She seemed surprised after seeing the man, her assistant, with its head leaning back on the coach. Sleeping and defenseless.

A smirk formed on her face, and she stepped back. She put her folders on the small table for the living room area of the office and then occupied the empty space next to Kiel.

She crossed her legs and leaned sideways, observing the man groaning in his sleep. "What a sight." She whispered.

Meanwhile, Kiel slowly blinked his eyes. The light from the chandelier hanging on the ceiling broke into him, making his body fully awake. He shakes his head and traced the pathway towards the desk of the president.

Devyn noticed him, too. She adjusted her glasses and crossed her legs. "Did you sleep well, Mr Kiel?" she asked.

The guy stood up, fixing his coat. "I apologized, President. I didn't mean to fall asleep." he checked his wristwatch. "I already called Miss Feng earlier, and she said that the package will arrive before afternoon."

The lady chuckled, seeing how Kiel still held that poker face in front of her when he accidentally fell asleep. "Why don't you go home earlier today to rest?" she said, putting her gaze back on the documents in her hands.

"I would not dare to." Kiel nodded. "It's my job to stay beside the President as her assistant," he explained.

Observing his stubbornness, Devyn frowned. "Do you know that you're groaning while you're asleep?" she asked, twirling the pen in her frail fingers.

Well, Kiel sometimes experiences nightmares and sleep paralysis often. But it was only when he was alone at home. This is also his first time falling asleep while working. Even though he wanted to deny it, he couldn't. He's taking double of the medicine he has for his rut.

Getting sleepy and sluggish was its side effects.

"Does Mr Kiel get nightmares, too?" she asked again.

Kiel shakes his head. "Not often, President." he paused and recalled what Devyn had said. She put 'too' right? Does it mean that she experienced it too? But he didn't dare to ask.

He changed the topic. "If the President has something that needs to be finished I will be willing to help." he trudged closer to the desk. "You're the one who should be resting now for the party later." He bowed.

Devyn stretched her arms and made a small yawn and then she moved the swivel chair backwards, twirling it towards the desk. "I'm quite really tired from all the meetings I rushed today for that party." She snorted.

A glint of mischievousness escaped her eyes. "But it's fine. Since Mr Kiel told me to choose my partner personally, I will save the exciting part at last." then she let out a sensual gasp. "Aiya~ I can't wait for the party anymore."

Devyn said it as she unbuttoned the upper part of her under blouse, exposing half of her cleavage.

Kiel leaned forward, almost closer to her face, and tugged the open polo to her chest. "Miss President, you can't do that here." he mumbled. "Your pheromones might spread. There are still employees outside"

Devyn chuckled and used her fingers to trace the man's chest. "Mr Kiel, I just unbuttoned it because I feel hot." she looked at his lips. "What are you thinking? Hmm?"

Kiel nearly sighs. "Should I put the AC on at a higher temperature?" he asked, stepping back.

"Such a jerk," Devyn whispered, standing from her desk. She put her glasses down and rubbed her eyelids. "No need, I'm already finished."

She closed the laptop and piled up all the folders, then she grabbed her bag. "Ready the car in 30 minutes. We will go somewhere, Mr Kiel."

The man nodded. "Then please wait for me in the first floor lobby."

Kiel excused himself and did what was told to him. After parking the car in the front door of the lower lobby, he saw Devyn already getting out of the elevator. He dashed inside and held her bag to his other arm.

Devyn walked to his side and said. "You are really quick"

They entered the car and Kiel drove. He fixed the rearview mirror and glanced at the lady behind on the backseat.

"Where do you want to go, Miss President?" he asked.

Devyn checked her phone. "NJ Clothing."

Kiel put his eyes back on the road after navigating the location of the said place. That clothing brand was one of the L.L Corporations business partners.

Just by thinking about it, Kiel pondered. Is the clothing prepared by Miss Feng not to Devyn's liking, or maybe she will buy another one just in case everything becomes a mess?

He made a U-turn and twirled the steering wheel when the traffic light went green. He immediately saw the building as soon as they reached the streets near the NJ Clothing.

After finding a perfect parking space, he stepped outside and opened the door for the lady. Opening the door for her, as always.

"Oh!! Miss Devyn?" The middle-aged woman, who was the manager of the shop, hurried to the door and gave the lady a hug. "What brings you here?" she asked, winking eyes.

"It's nice to see you again, Miss Sung," Kiel gave his greetings, and it made Miss Sung more lively. She clapped her hands. "Hello there, Mr Kiel. You look handsome just like the last time you visited." she complimented.

Devyn went inside straight to the guys' suits, coats and polo. She scanned everything as if choosing a gift for someone.

Miss Sung nodded and assisted the pretty lady. "Aiyaa~What kind of pair do you want, Miss Devyn? We have a lot of new arrivals here." She suggested.

Devyn caressed the sleeves of the last polo she touched and looked at Miss Sung. "Well, I want something that will suit my handsome assistant." She replied.

The middle-aged Korean woman grinned. "Leave it to me," then she winked.
