Chapter 1: Fired

Morgan Morris is a 35-year-old man with all the power in his hand.

Arrogant and cruel men are slow and hard to talk to.

It's no longer about being economical with words. If Morgan, who is usually called, has spoken and smiled, then be careful with her.

Because behind Morgan's smile, there must be something hidden.

"Sir, this meeting will be held at the Paramount Hotel to discuss the construction of the new mall," said Morgan's right-hand man, Jonathan, informing him of the agenda.

But as usual, there was no answer or anything.

Morgan just followed the schedule. Suppose the person concerned with it is even a little late. You can be sure that the company will suffer a lot of losses. Even if Morgan wanted to, their business would only be a name.

"And today, Miss Scarlett will arrive here at 2 pm," Jonathan added.

"Let her be!" was her only reply.

Scarlett is his forced fiancée, who his mum and dad have arranged.

She neither rejected nor accepted. The engagement was still ongoing, but she never answered anything.

"Tonight, you take care of that rat! I'm too lazy to get my hands dirty for a fool."

"Yes, sir!" they said as they returned to work. Morgan, the wealthy businessman, had managed to expand his sole proprietorship without the help or the big name of his family, who were already rich from their mother and father.

Morgan successfully founded his sole company, MM Corp. Even in the underworld, Morgan is the Hand of the Machine.

Morgan could kill with just one slash to the head of his enemy. One person died with his head separated, so the underworld knew that it was the work of Mr J, whose face was unknown.

So far, none of his enemies have lived to see what Mr J looks like.

***

Jessica Monroe is a 20-year-old woman working at the Paramount Hotel as a Receptionist.

A quiet woman with gentle words, she is beautiful but has little style and only thinks about her work to eat tomorrow.

That is what Monroe, who is usually called Jessica, has always cultivated.

"Jessica, the big boss is coming. We need to be ready," said her friend Sarah.

"No, I'm not. I'm just like this," Jessica replied.

"Come on, Jessica, we must look good for the boss."

"I'm not."

"Okay, whatever you want," their conversation stopped.

"Let's welcome the boss at the front," they said in the lobby as they prepared to welcome the big boss.

STEP!!! STEP!!! STEP!!!

Expensive loafers echoed through the hotel lobby where Jessica worked.

Meanwhile, Mr Morgan counted off all the people who greeted him individually.

Of the many people who greeted her, only one petite woman lowered her gaze.

She doesn't like that! Is ducking afraid or wrong?

Morgan stopped right in front of Jessica. At the same time, Jessica could only see the expensive and shiny shoes standing right before her.

"Jessica Monroe?" muttered Morgan to himself.

"Take her to my room!" Morgan said, heading straight for his room. Jessica could only endure her fear at the moment.

What did Jessica do wrong? Why was she sent to Mr Morgan's room? What does this mean? What has she done?

"Jessica, what did you do wrong that Mr Morgan called you into his office? Have you ever met him? Or have you made a mistake, perhaps?" Sarah asked anxiously.

Jessica could only shake her head. She had never met Morgan, let alone done anything wrong. She didn't even know the name of their boss.

Jessica has only been working for three days after completing her studies from her father's pension and working part-time at the cafe.

"Hurry up and get there. It'll be even more complicated," Sarah said.

In the end, Jessica chooses to go to the room of the Hotel Owner Boss where she works.

"Excuse me, sir… may I come in?" Jessica was still standing at the door.

"Come in!" the masculine voice sounded very cold to Jessica's ears.

Then he walked in and caught a glimpse of the stern face of the hotel boss.

Five minutes passed while Morgan stared at her with a sharp gaze, and Morgan and Jessica were equally silent without anyone opening their voices.

"Look at me!"

BA BUMP!!!

Jessica slowly looked up at the stern-faced man in front of her who was sitting proudly.

"Get out of my room! You're fired!" Jessica's eyeballs rounded.

He's only been working for three days and was fired immediately? What wrong has he done?

Jessica stared fixedly at the man in front of her. She felt like crying right now.

But why cry? She thought.

"Give me a clear reason why I should be fired, sir?" asked Jessica boldly.

Morgan just stared at her with a devilish smile on his lips.

"Because I don't need any reason to sack you!"

"But I need a reason, sir! Give me a clear reason."

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" asked Morgan sarcastically.

"Well, I accept this dismissal. Good day, sir," she wouldn't want to continue working with someone like Mr. Morgan anyway.

"Excuse me," Jessica left Morgan's room and hurried away.

***

Jessica returned to the house which her parents had left behind. Riding her Scooter matic.

Meanwhile, Morgan just stared in surprise at the woman named Jessica.

Jessica didn't beg at all. Morgan hoped she would plead with him.

Then, she looked at Jonathan, who was still by her side.

"Use any means to trap that woman! I want her to beg me tomorrow," Jonathan could only stare and nod at Morgan's orders.

Morgan was already attracted to the woman. He had to get her in front of him tomorrow somehow!

Somehow, Morgan doesn't care what he wants now; Jonathan is bringing her to his doorstep tomorrow!

"Sir, Miss Scarlett has arrived at the airport," Jonathan said, receiving the news from his men who had gone to pick Scarlett up.

"Leave her alone! I'm sick of looking at her!"

"But Sir, Lord Sebastian requests that you fetch Miss Scarlett in person and have dinner together at the main house."

Morgan just glanced at her. Jonathan already knew, and he would prepare everything.

"How's my mum?" Morgan asked again.

"Ms Liza is still the same. I also got word that Mr Sebastian is in a relationship with his secretary," Morgan said, stopping his work on the documents and looking at Jonathan.

"For the past few weeks! Mr. often stays at his secretary's apartment," Jonathan added.

"We're going there now!" Morgan and Jonathan went straight to Morgan's father's big company.

No matter how cruel she was, Morgan still loved her mother, who gave birth to her. Her father was fond of cheating on her.

She even has a step-sister from her father's mistress.

Then, her mum stayed with her dad. Now, her father is back to playing crazy with young women.

"Damn it!"
