LOGINThey all fell silent and bowed their heads, no one daring to speak. He's so impressive, I thought to myself, admiring him.Even though Jefri’s expression was terrifying, I loved the way he led his subordinates. Firm and indisputable.Jefri sat back, playing with a pen in his hand. "Erika is my student. And my reason for appointing her as my assistant... is none other than to provide her with easier access to her studies."I spontaneously looked at him, biting my lower lip. I had been completely wrong about him all this time. I thought he’d made me his assistant just because he was possessive. It turns out he truly cared about my thesis.I felt my heart pounding against my chest. I think... my feelings for him were growing even deeper."Raise your hand if you still wish to oppose me." His gaze swept across everyone in the room.The atmosphere suddenly turned suffocating. I could see beads of sweat on the employees' foreheads, even though the room was freezing. Everyone remained silent
"N-no need, Raka," I replied, my voice laced with panic.I caught a glimpse of Jefri. He was still staring at Raka, his brows knitted tightly together."Why not?" Raka’s forehead creased, his eyes narrowing as he looked at me with suspicion. "Are you really seeing that DJ?"I waved both hands quickly. "N-no, I'm not."My chest tightened. I massaged my throbbing temple. Why on earth would Raka bring up Roy in front of Jefri? I thought."Why do you keep bothering Erika, Raka?!" Mia snapped. She crossed her arms, glaring at me. "You’d be better off finding a boyfriend for me instead."Raka just offered a faint smile, and I chose to stay silent—I didn't have the energy to deal with Mia. For a moment, I felt like this office meeting had turned into a family dinner. Jefri clearly wasn't amused."Is this a meeting to find you a date?!" Jefri suddenly interjected, his tone ice-cold.It was exactly as I feared. The lion had bared its fangs. Everyone went dead silent; the room was so quiet you
"What was... that thing she showed you?" he asked, his tone cold.I simply nodded, my expression filled with worry.Jefri’s face tightened. His hand balled into a fist against the wall. "I’ll handle it. You don’t need to worry."The thing I feared most had finally happened. I knew Jefri wouldn't be willing to sacrifice his career either. If that video got out, it would ruin both of our reputations—not just mine.In a moment like this, I was certain he would start pulling away... slowly fading from my life. For some reason, my heart ached, as if I would never find any peace with him."You see now, don't you?" I pushed Jefri’s chest away gently, then looked down, my eyes welling up with tears. "Keeping me as your mistress... it’s only going to destroy your career, right?"Jefri lifted my chin, forcing our eyes to meet. "What makes you think that?""Because more and more people are finding out about us!" I cried out, my voice rising.My voice suddenly hitched in my throat. My lips trembl
"Delete it, right now!" I hissed, lunging for the phone in Mia's hand.Mia was faster, pulling her arm back and holding the phone just out of reach. "In your dreams. This is my phone!"The video she’d played was the scene of me kissing Jefri at the hospital. I have no idea when she’d recorded it—I hadn’t noticed a thing. Now, she was using it as a weapon.I couldn't bear to think about what would happen if that video reached Dita, or worse, if it went viral around the office. It would be a massive scandal that would completely destroy my reputation.Consumed by rage, I grabbed Mia by the collar. "You—""What’s going on here?" Jefri’s voice cut through the air. He was staring at us with a cold, piercing expression.Hendra was there, too. His brow furrowed as he saw me clutching Mia’s shirt. He pointed a finger at me, his eyes wide and furious. "What do you think you’re doing, Erika?!"Mia ripped my hand away, sneered at me as she tucked her phone into her pocket, and sauntered off with
Mrs. Niken looked away while adjusting her glasses. She scratched her head, looking confused, then turned back to me with a furrowed brow. "What exactly am I thinking?""Huh?" I was suddenly startled, staring at her with wide eyes. Then, I smirked, looking down in embarrassment. "Earlier... you didn't hear anything, did you?"She glanced at me with pursed lips. "This apartment is quite soundproof."I smiled broadly, letting out a sigh of relief. "Thank God..."At least I could breathe a little easier. I had been terrified. I’d been so worried that Mrs. Niken might have heard my moans when Jefri was slamming into me.Her eyes had already widened when she saw Jefri carrying me; if she’d heard the chaos of our "battle" earlier, she would be absolutely certain I was his mistress."But... I did accidentally overhear a little bit," Mrs. Niken added, gesturing with her fingers. "Your moans were quite loud..."She smiled while adjusting her glasses and immediately started tapping away on her
I turned to him spontaneously. "So... am I destined to be your mistress forever?"Jefri smiled faintly and kissed my lips once. "Call it a mistress, a concubine, or whatever you want. What's certain is... you will always be a part of my life."I was stunned by his words, yet simultaneously confused. He hadn't declared his love at all, yet he wanted to make me a part of his life.Powerful people are truly different, aren't they? They love collecting women, feeling like they can own anything with their money and influence.I might just be a mistress or a kept woman, but Jefri treated me like a queen. I was happy, yet devastated.Is it possible... that I can live in hiding forever?I gave him a faint smile, holding his arm against my waist.Jefri kissed my lips—slow, warm, and full of tenderness. We drifted into the romantic night, witnessed by hundreds of insects circling the balcony light, wrapped in the night air that gently brushed against our skin, and under the gaze of thousands of
I accepted my phone back with a tumultuous storm of mixed emotions swirling within me. My mind was entirely plagued by uncertainty; was all of this truly going to continue? Though I remained emotionally shaken, an overwhelming wave of physical exhaustion began to creep into my very bones.
Mr. Jefri seized my hips, pulling my frame flush against him before folding my thighs upward until they pressed flat against his chest. If only a portion of his length had breached my defenses before, he now delivered a devastating, uncompromising plunge—driving himself forward until not a

An accord? What kind of agreement had they actually made? That question instantly began to swirl through my mind.I noticed Dita seemed to harbor a flicker of trepidation. Yet, she maintained her piercing glare at Mr. Jefri, her tone laced with a sharp edge. "In any case, I refuse right no
