His presentation

Sara POV

Suddenly, I felt a force that caused my eyes to close on their own, and I shifted from the dark to a blinding, brilliant light.

Where am I, and what's happening here?

I looked around me in confusion. What's going on here?

The sight of high-class people staring at me in confusion immediately filled my eyes with fear. Some sort of commercial meeting must be underway.

When I noticed everyone dressed in business suits, I assumed a commercial meeting was in progress. I trailed Aron in the hopes of catching him red-handed with that blonde, but I had no idea that he had come for a business appointment.

Amid the pitch blackness, I became completely oblivious to the fact that a business meeting was taking place outside. I don't know who pushed me. I stumbled, struggling to regain my balance as I teetered on the edge of the stage. By sheer luck, I managed to steady myself, narrowly avoiding a humiliating fall.

What should I do now?

I have to return from the stage. I stepped down from the stage quite carefully.

"I was waiting for you, Sara." Aron's voice halted my step.

When I turned to face him, he came over and asked me to step onto the platform with him. I don't understand why he asked me to join him on stage.

"I am sorry, Aron; I came here by accident," I mumbled slowly, terrified. He will be upset with me, I'm sure, because I ruined his presentation.

How stupid am I? How can I doubt him?

Because I was reading books and watching K-dramas, my mind was constantly racing with questions and overanalyzing everything.

Whenever I saw him with a woman, I could only think of one thing.

He undoubtedly became a billionaire due to his hard work and dedication, so how can I expect him to be romantically involved with a lady while he is working? I was furious with myself for not believing in him, but it was not entirely my fault. Given his interest in sex, what else can I infer about him? My subconscious requested that I not vent my anger on me.

Aron guided me to the podium while holding my hand. His behavior surprised me because I thought he would be upset with me, but he appears to be acting extremely composed instead. Why does he appear to be so at ease when he sees me here? Did he try to cover up his rage with a composed expression?

I thought back to the last time he raged at me and punished me. Since I previously caused him annoyance by leaving the house without his consent, I can be certain that he will chastise me now, just as he did the last time we got home.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm pleased to share with you all the annual progress reports for my company." He gave a confident opening to his presentation. He glanced at the individuals seated in front of us as he shifted the presentation slide on the laptop screen.

I peered at his laptop screen, trying to make out what he was trying to say in the presentation. His confidence throughout his speech drew my attention. I wouldn't be able to say a word in front of all of these people if I got the chance to give the presentation. His confidence impressed me. I'm not sure how he was able to recall the precise amount of investment and income for his business.

I mistakenly believed that he was solely involved in sex activities, but he is far more than a mere sex junkie. I shuddered at his firm grip beneath the podium. He will undoubtedly be upset with me now that I abruptly entered the stage. He was talking like a train, speeding down a track. He paused after his presentation to address questions from the audience.

After calmly answering questions from the audience, he concluded his presentation. As he concluded his presentation, the sound of claps filled the conference hall. He took his laptop from the podium, grabbed my hand, and walked off the stage. He was still holding onto my wrist tightly.

"I'm sorry, Aron; I just happened to come here by accident. Please don't be upset with me." I muttered to him when we finally got down from the stage.

"It's ok, Sara; I am delighted to see you here." He calmly replied to me. His composed demeanor makes me even more terrified.

"I have to go, Aaron," Jerry must be waiting for me. Seeing Jerry's call on my phone screen, I asked him to free my wrist from his grip.

"Please stay with me till the end of the conference, Sara." His eyes begged me to stay with him. I don't understand why, after arriving here with a sophisticated assistant, he wanted me to be with him. Why would he want to offend himself over me when my casual attire is not appropriate for this upscale business meeting and does not match the elegance of this pricey hotel?

"Aaron, I don't believe I should be at this conference with you." I can feel businesspeople staring at me with heat, which makes me uncomfortable.

"You don't have to feel uncomfortable as long as I am with you." He put his hand on my waist and pulled me towards him.

My body trembled as I sensed his proximity. Even before he did anything, I was already deeply in love with him, and his actions only intensified my desire to win his heart. He didn't lose his grip on my waist during his meeting with other businessmen.

As I observed his professionalism, I thought of the rich CEO in my story. I am currently experiencing the same physical sensation that the female character in the novel feels when she sees the attractive CEO standing in front of them. I feel as though I am living the most romantic part of a romantic story.

"Aaron, when will you stop taking advantage of women for your benefit?" A harsh taunt came from behind me. I wasn't sure what the man was trying to convey, so I was looking at him confused.

I don't know why he gave me credit for Aron's excellent presentation, as I did nothing to assist him. I turned to face Aron to see how he would respond to his insult, but all he did was smile sorrowfully. I wanted to question him about why he took the man's insult in silence, but just then, another man called for us to take a seat so he could announce the outcome of this yearly business meeting.
