The CEO Who Hates Me

"He wants a total reconstruction and reorganization including the employees since he will take over the share and asset of this business."

That last sentence of the Attorney banged her ears.

Arya's face reddened once more upon understanding that her employees were involved and there's a possibility for them to lose their jobs.

Most of her employees were relying on their jobs at the beach resort for a living which supported their families, and it pained her that those employees would have to suffer because of her carelessness.

Her eyes narrowed, she frowned and asked, "What room is your CEO staying right now?"

"He's in the VIP suite right now, room 304 but he was…"

Arya no longer waited for the Attorney to finish his sentence and rushed outside to go to room 304.

On her way, she saw one of her staffs and said, "I am going into room 304 and if I'm still not back in seven minutes, call security and open the door!"

Her staff looked confused, but they nodded in agreement anyway.

--

Back inside to Arya's office, Attorney Stark scratched his head, looked at Arya's Attorney and said, "You cannot talk with our CEO he is indisposed."

And after a muted silence where the pressure mounted he added, "He's relaxing in the spa and asked not to be disturbed."

-----

Arya's face turned slightly red in anger. She stormed out of the elevator and walked briskly to the VIP suite 304 as soon as the elevator doors opened.

She did not bother to buzz the doorbell and directly opened the door with the Master Card Key on her hand.

As she swept inside, she spoke firmly, "Just who the hell are you to…"

She stopped suddenly, her eyes widened as her gaze paused at the hotel's luxury spa tub featuring walls of glass on three sides -- complete with heavenly views for the guest to enjoy.

But right now, her eyes were feasting on a heavenly view of a man's nude back that was dripping wet. He moved and covered his lower body with the towel.

"Oh, Oh," she breathed softly.

"I, I'm sorry, I didn't know…" she said stuttering and hurriedly turned around.

She then continued with still stammering voice, "Ah, um, I will just go back until you're um dressed."

She was about to walk at the door when she heard a man's voice from her back.

"Leaving already?" he asked confidently, "You seem to be in such a rush to talk to me. Why don't you spill it out now?"

She was stunned; his voice sounded familiar and began to wonder if she was hallucinating. Suddenly the cool air inside the room made the hairs of her skin all up.

Her mind was spinning; she thought he sounded like Ryu. It occurred to her that the anger she was feeling was possibly affecting her judgment.

She abruptly shook her head and declared, "It's okay, I can wait outside. Dress first and let's talk after that. Call the reception once you are ready."

She heard the man chuckle as if amused, a familiar sound that made her turned around.

She gasped when she almost bumped into a man's wet chest.

"Um sorry, you sound familiar." She said slightly bowing her head to hide her flushed face.

She felt the man's arm encircled her waist while she was abruptly pulled towards him.

He then leaned forward and scornfully whispered into her ear, "Aren't you here to negotiate? I was hoping you had a better offer."

Arya frowned and abruptly pushed the man attempting to get away from him. Instead, she was pushed back until she could feel her back pinned against the wall.

She tilted her head to look up at the rude man and was left with open-mouthed looking at a familiar face.

She was shocked but managed to mumble, "Ryu?"

Ryu smirked and stared at Arya's slightly opened lips and said, "Did you miss me? How about this?"

Before Arya can utter another word, Ryu captured her lips abruptly and kissed her roughly.

Arya felt the familiar lips that were probing hers deeply. It was the familiar conquering lips that, for six months, she had missed terribly.

The kiss that made her legs weak, they trembled slightly. Butterflies fluttered from her throat down to her stomach sending a shiver through her core.

This was the kiss she had been longing for her entire life.

Unconsciously, she wrapped her arms on his neck and matched his passion.

The twirling of their tongues was suddenly interrupted by a buzzing doorbell.

Arya's eyes snapped open upon hearing the door, and she pushed Ryu away. She used the brief pause to run towards the door, gasping for breath, as her security staff appeared.

"Let's go and leave the guest. I'm fine," she deftly instructed before quickly walking to the elevator. The security staffed blinked briefly at the scene before following obediently.

Inside the room, Ryu was smiling wickedly and said, "She obviously misses me."

He then called Chen and ordered, "Tell her to meet me tomorrow in my room at 7:00 AM sharp if she wants to negotiate."
