Studying fashion was the first time it really helped you this much. You joined one of Paris's giant fashion brands. Assistant... Right next to the CEO. Felix...

Your job was good, it was easier than you thought, and the salary... what more could you ask for? Eh... Did you wish Felix was a little more warm-blooded? The man was literally afraid to be intimate with anyone. Except for those closest to him, of course. Of course, when you think about it, he was rich, handsome, polite, calm, and had a charming personality. He was probably tired of the attention... He was careful not to get too close to you either. But of course, you were always together; you were his personal assistant, after all.

Workday. You never compromise on style. You went to your desk and sat down, working on the computer, and that's when Felix came over.

"We should go to the club tonight."

"What?"

"Club... We will receive cash from a company we work with. In return, I'll sell him a few designs. He wanted to meet there." He let out an irritated sigh. You heard him mutter to himself. "What kind of people do we cooperate with?"

He was seriously angry. Seeing him like this... wasn't something you saw very often. You nodded and looked at him. You asked for details and nodded. He took a calm breath. He was nervous. It was the first time he'd felt like this... since you started working. You looked at him.

"Is there a problem? You're a little... nervous."

"No. I'm thinking. Don't worry."

You didn't object. There wasn't much need anyway. He came back to you about two hours later.

"Come on... Call the others and let's go. And let's warn you... We're going to a club. Even awkward eye contact could get us in trouble."

He calmly approached you and leaned in to your ear.

"I don't want to be misunderstood. I'm sorry for the insinuation. But women... may not be seen as having character there... Take care of yourselves. Please... You are all valuable... "

*For the first time, you realized how thoughtful he was. He was observant. He was aware of everything. And his warning... Now you understood why he was afraid... *

You were in one car. Clara, Seline, and you were in the backseat, Felix was in the driver's seat, and Jake was in the front. Even Felix was laughing at Jake's jokes. This was the first time he'd ever talked this much.

A few minutes passed. You had arrived at the club. It was a large table. Perfect for talking business. Empty words, meaningless conversation, and then Felix brought the subject to work. The moment Felix was done, you'd sign a few autographs and then leave. You hadn't expected it when Adam lifted Felix from the table. But you were already together. Jake's stupid jokes, Clara's calm demeanor, Seline's positive reaction to Jake's jokes... You were having fun.

The man pulled Felix to another table. Everyone at the table was watching them. Felix gave an irritated sigh and waited for the man to speak.

"Let's talk. I'd love to accept the job, Felix. But on one condition... We'll play poker. If I win, I want a discount. If you win, maybe even more money."

"No. There is no change in terms." Felix sensed evil. Of course he would refuse.

"Okay... Let the conditions remain constant. But I insist on playing. If you don't play... I won't let you out. You're in my place." Felix sighed in frustration. He had to remain calm. "I insist on not playing either. Don't break the deal, Fred."

"I didn't know about that woman when I made the deal." His eyes turned to you for a brief moment. Felix felt the blood rush to his brain. "Don't be a characterless person." The man laughed lightly.

"If you insist... If I win, you won't leave here all night. And she... She'll spend the night with me."

Felix looked as if he was struck in the head. He couldn't accept this. None of it... He couldn't accept such filth. He couldn't lose... Not when it comes to you.

"You're biting off a piece you can't eat, Fred... You can't get close to any of them."

"Do you want to see Felix?"

"You jerk..."
