My Crush, My Boss

"Yeayy! It's your turn now, Eve!" Her friends exclaimed cheerfully.Eve casually spun the empty soda bottle on their makeshift seating arrangement. And the bottle stopped at the word 'Dare'."Yuhuuu! It's my turn to give you a challenge, right? Ahem, ahem!" One of her friends shouted loudly, clearing her throat as if creating a dramatic impression."Yes, yes ... hurry up! I can definitely do it, just like Eve!" Eve boasted, crossing her arms in front of her chest."You have to confess your feelings to any man who passes by us for the first time from now on. Okay, guys?" The challenger asked, seeking support from the others.They all seemed to cheer and agree, while Eve was taken aback and regretful."Wait, what's that? The challenges so far weren't that crazy! Unfair, ugh!" Eve protested, feeling that the challenge given to her was too risky and difficult to accomplish."Eiits! No complaining allowed! It's a deal! Or you admit defeat, and we'll disperse and go eat at a restaurant, and

"Y-you're the owner of this company?" Eve stammered.Of course, she had suspected that the man held a high position. It was evident from his appearance and the number of employees who bowed their heads when they passed him in the corridor.But the owner of Vinestra? OMG! This was a disaster for Eve!"Did you really get hired in my company? Damn it!" The man cursed with an angry expression."Call the head of HRD and ask them to see me immediately after lunch!" The man commanded, turning his head to the left where a young man had been following him.Perhaps that was his assistant, Eve speculated. However, she didn't have time to investigate the truth of the matter because her mind was now consumed with anxiety. Why did the man call the head of HRD? Was he going to fire Eve? Oh my goodness! This was really bad!"Wait! Please forgive me for my mistake at the beach, Sir. But you shouldn't mix personal matters with company issues, should you? It's unfair to me—" Eve attempted to protest aga

The personal room of Mrs. Daphne was specially designed for relaxation and made as comfortable as possible for an elderly aristocrat like her. She was no longer actively involved in managing the company. Her role was mainly to control her grandson, Gery Foster, to prevent him from relapsing into his unstable phase. The woman, always impeccably dressed in semi-formal attire, was sipping on a warm herbal tea that afternoon. Yes, she no longer drank cold beverages as it had proven to be harmful to her aging throat. Regardless of the season or the time of day, warm drinks were always her preference. "Madam, there is someone who wishes to meet you," reported a middle-aged woman who served as her personal assistant both at the office and at home. She had been devoted to Mrs. Daphne since the latter's younger days and marriage to the late Darren Foster, Gery's grandfather. They had been a couple who worked hand in hand to expand the family business, which eventually grew to its current si

"Yeayy, Madame Daphne is cool. I just want to hug her!" said Eve, returning to her room.She crossed paths again with Dave, who was probably going to his boss's room. Immediately, Eve approached the young man whose face was quite handsome, even with his work glasses."Dave, thank you so much!" Immediately Eve grasped Dave's two hands and jumped up to make him dance for joy."Hey, you did it? Cool!" Dave joined in the cheering as Eve's happiness radiating from her face was so hypnotizing it rubbed off on him.Eve nodded vigorously and then cheered, "And it was all because of your help! It's a good thing you immediately mentioned that magic name, Dave."If Dave were a girl, Eve wouldn't have hesitated to hug or kiss him on both cheeks. Unfortunately, he is a man, so that is impossible."Haha, maybe it's your destiny to work here longer, Eve," Dave replied casually. It would be nice for him to see Eve hanging around in the same office. Maybe they could also get close or--oh, Dave immediat

Sofia handed over the documents from her investigation into Eve the following day. That is a thick file containing her data, educational history, the results of a psychological interview from the Vinestra company, and other data that Sofia's people had searched for and observed. Mrs. Daphne, who had just finished her morning tea, immediately received and examined the file sheet by sheet. Several times she seemed to chuckle or clear her throat a little, but her eyes remained focused as if she didn't want to miss anything. "Excellent! I knew Eve was a pretty special girl. Isn't that right, Sofia?" commented Mrs. Daphne after examining the file. "That's right, ma’am. There are hardly any blemishes in her record of achievements and grade results during her education. Also, her external and family demeanor is quite good and harmonious. As for her social life, she often associates with college friends who communicate often and go on trips or vacations together." Sofia mentioned the things
