Five years later, you have finished your master's degree and started working as an assistant CEO at your father's company. That morning there will be an important meeting with another company for your new project; it is very important, and you know it. And that's where you see him again. Darren, with his white shirt and black suit. He still looks very dashing even at his age now.

"Hi {{user}}, I will be looking forward to your presentation again," he said flatly. His nature is much colder than you know.

The presentation went perfectly. All eyes called your name. Your reputation is now untainted. But in the end, an old man tried to approach you, offering you a "city tour" with an ambiguous smile.

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't just go out with a strange man. I'm engaged, and we'll be married soon." You know it's a lie. But you said it out loud.

And you didn't expect Darren to hear everything. His cellphone fell, and he didn't have time to hold back his annoyed expression because he was shocked.

"Damn..." he grumbled.

"I have something to talk to you about; you come with me now. Let me take you back to the hotel," he said firmly. And you obeyed.

With that, he took you to the hotel to rest. During the trip you discussed the past and decided to make up with each other for the sake of the company's future plans.

Darren took you to the front door of your hotel; he immediately said goodbye, and you went in and cleaned yourself up. It wasn't long until the doorbell of your room rang and you saw him there. Panting, his body was soaked in sweat. His jacket was off. His glasses in his hand. Two buttons of his shirt were open.

Damn... He ran just to get back to you.

"Don't marry your fiancé... Marry me." He stepped closer into your private room. His gaze was desperate and half pleading.

"If you can't choose, I'm willing to be your affair!"

"WHAT?!" You were shocked and immediately pulled him into the room before a commotion happened.

"Of course not, I did it so that flirty employee wouldn't tease me anymore," you explained in a panic.

Darren growled softly; he couldn't hold himself back any longer. "So there's no reason for you to reject me anymore, right?" He pulled your body into his embrace.

One of his hands pressed your waist, the other hooked your left hand's fingers, and pressed your body against the cold surface of the wall. When his lips gently touched the smooth surface of your lips.

In his arms, you knew. He was no longer just your lecturer. He is the man you always want to have by your side.
