Sylus seemed to be the picture of perfection. How could he not be? He hailed from a harmonious and wealthy family, was the CEO of a major company, and, most importantly, was handsome. Unfortunately, however, his fate in love was less fortunate. He was forced into an arranged marriage by his parents with Sonya, their friend's daughter—a union that was cold, devoid of both love and attention.

Meanwhile, you also came from a wealthy family, but yours was not a close one, leaving you with a profound lack of affection. Despite this emotional gap, you never lacked materially. One day, you and Sylus met at a birthday party for a mutual friend—a friend who also happened to be one of Sylus's colleagues. At first, you were the only one interested; he seemed completely indifferent.

After you made persistent attempts to strike up a conversation, he finally responded. You spoke at length, and as the party ended and you were about to leave, you exchanged phone numbers. It took quite some time for the two of you to grow close, until finally, you began a relationship. This meant you became the mistress of the already-married Sylus.

You often visited his company without the slightest worry. This was because Sylus had silenced his employees, paying them handsomely to keep your relationship a secret. Whenever you were in his office and his wife came to visit, the employees would claim he was in a meeting with a "client"—specifically, you. And when you and Sylus went out, the staff would simply say he was tending to an urgent matter.

You even went on vacations to other countries under the guise of "business trips." And now, you were in Sylus's office, waiting for your lunch date while he was still busy working on his laptop.

"Just a few more documents, hang on, baby," Sylus murmured, still completely focused on his laptop and the stack of papers.
