Irene polished her face with natural makeup, she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Oh, what a poor Irene. This was the first day his suffering was about to begin, for some reason he had a bad feeling about Zean. What does Zean want from an Irene Banner?

"So, this is your first day at work"

Irene almost jumped in shock, so late in her daydream that she did not notice Alice's presence.

"You were accepted into Lorwerth Corporation but you didn't tell me?" alice asked with a look of annoyance.

“Can you knock on the door first—“

“My question answer, Irene” cut Alice impatient.

Irene sighed, then she looked at Alice.

“Yes, I was accepted to work at Lorwerth Corporation” said Irene lazily.

Alice glared in disbelief, seconds later a wide smile spread across her face, she was overjoyed.

“What was that man last night the eldest son of the owner of Lorwerth Corporation?” ask Alice in curiosity.

"Hm"

“Is he Arzean Lorwerth?” ask Alice again.

“Hm”

“So, I can conclude last night you were dating her pajamas with kan” seduced Alice.

Irene's face flushed red, oh really right now she's really embarrassed. It must have been last night Alice peeked over the balcony and Irene was sure her brother must have laughed out loud seeing his sister who was just in pajamas sleeping with bird nest-like hair.

So last night without Irene noticing, it turns out Alice peeked at him from the balcony. Honestly, Alice is lazy to serve people who meet at night. Alice refused to open the door, but she wondered who was visiting this night. And it turns out that the person who came last night didn't come to see Alice but Irene. From above the balcony Alice laughed amusedly seeing even hearing all the conversations Irene and Zean had last night.

“What are you talking about, Alice” said Irene with a face trying to hide her shame.

Alice chuckled amusedly at Irene's reaction.

“We should celebrate your first day, Irene. We'll be dinner at once I'll introduce you to my future fiance tonight. So, please put on your best dress don't wear your pajamas, brown monster” led by Alice accompanied by her little laugh, then she walked out of the room.

“Whatever you say, I don't care!!” Irene shouted looking at Alice's back.

Alice turned to look at Irene. “Did you hear something?” alice asked seriously this time.

“Ya, car horn” replied Irene lightly.

Wait, hold on. What just now? Car horn?

Alice ran towards the balcony, followed by Irene behind her. They saw a new Bugatti Chiron sports car parked in front of the gate and seconds later a man got out of the car. Who else would that man be if not…….

Arzean Lorwerth's.

“Shit morning!” lament Irene was upset.

Alice looked at her sister with a mischievous look.

“Wahhhh... It looks like you really did fall into pajamas last night” seduced Alice.

“Stay here, don't come out and don't say anything. I'll meet you tonight to meet your future fiancee” said Irene then passed away.

With a thousand steps Irene descended the stairs and walked out toward Zean who was standing leaning near the sports car.

“Why were you so long, Irene?” ask Zean.

Irene ignored Zean's question, but asked a question back.

“What are you doing here, Stranger?” ask Irene.

Zean glared then the man's brown eyes looked at Irene.

“Do you not know how to say good morning or say hello? Is this how you treat your boss, Ms. Banner?"zean Goda.

Irene let out a rough sigh then looked at Zean with a piercingly sharp clock, Zean actually stirred up his emotional fire this morning.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Lorweth. But can you tell me what you did early in the morning at your private secretary's house?” ask Irene with emphasis on the word ‘your personal secretary’

Zean raised next to his eyebrows while looking at the girl in front of him who was already burning with emotion this morning.

“Why are you so formal with me, Irene?” asked zean with shiny eyes.

Irene clenched her hands tightly, eager to punch the handsome face of this man before her. Why does this crazy jerk and bitchy stranger always bother him? God, please Irene.

“What are you really doing here? Do you want to make sure I come to your office? Are you doubting me? Don't worry, look I've had this asphyxiation to go to your office and—“ Irene's speech was cut off by Zean who suddenly brought her face closer to Irene's face, until they could feel the breaths that hit each other's faces.

“Stop that, Irene. You drive me crazy just by watching you babble” Zean said in a low tone like a whisper.

“You—“ Irene's speech was cut off because Zean was tucking his lips.

“Morning kiss, beautiful” whispered Zean.

Irene could feel Zean's warm lips clinging briefly to her pink lips. The deg! Just a kiss can make Irene freeze not breathing, it feels like she is starting to forget how to breathe normally.

“Breathe! You can die if you hold your breath like this” Zean said to Irene still busy with her mind.

Irene exhaled from her mouth, sure enough she did not breathe. Stupidhead! What kind of kiss is that?

Zean opens the car door and tells Irene to come in, and Zean sits behind the wheel.

“Seat belt, please” said Zean then forwarded the car.

“What are we going to the office?” Irene asked as she looked at Zean who was focused on driving.

“Sure!” zean Pause.

“What do you think? I picked you up for camping, Ms.Banner?” she laughed a little.

Irene rolled the lazy eyeball. Why is he laughing? Is this funny? You crazy man!

"Mr.Lorwerth" called Irene while looking at Zean who was driving.

“Isn't this an exaggeration, you shouldn't be doing this. Why did you pick up your secretary or you have a hobby to pick up all your employees or just a new employee or—“

“Because I like you, Irene” cut Zean fast, looked at Irene for a second then looked back at the street.

Zean hates to see this girl babble because it can drive him crazy to shut Irene's mouth with her kiss. Stop the rant, Irene. You're making him really crazy right now.

🍂🍂🍂

Silent.

Irene was unable to say anything after Zean said that she liked Irene. Irene was sure this stranger just wanted to play around with her, it was impossible for a jerk like Zean to really like a woman.

Thirty minutes later they reached the VIP parking area of the skyscraper that read 'Lorwerth Corporation'. Zean got out of the car and opened the door for Irene to get out. Many noticed that rare scene, an Arzean Lorwerth came to the office with a woman in his car? This will be a global history.

"Who is that woman?"

"This is the first time I've seen her with a woman"

"Could it be her lover?"

"Since when has he been close to women?"

"He's a good-looking guy and not a female player"

"What is this thing called the end of the world? See Arzean Lorwerth with a woman?"

The surrounding people who saw Irene and Zean were so clearly heard in their ears. But Zean looks careless and does not even care, while Irene often catches a few pairs of eyes that look at him dislike.

"Why are they talking about you?" Irene asked a little whisper.

"The color I'm with you, Irene" Zean replied lightly, holding Irene's hand and walking into the building.

Irene gasped in shock because suddenly Zean grasped her hand so tightly that she was unable to dodge.

"Let go, Mr.Lorwerth!" Irene Pinta.

"Other employees will definitely think I'm one of your girls" he continued.

"Will not" Zean exclaimed as he pressed the elevator button to his room on the top floor.

"I beg you not to make it difficult for my days to work here, your employees will definitely gossip about nothing" Irene was cut off by Zean who kissed her lips.

"Don't babble, or I'll kiss you again" Zean paused.

Irene clenched both her hands firmly, wanting to feel like she had hit the face of the man she was with at this moment.

"They gossip about me, you're the first woman they've ever seen with me. I'm not a player, Irene" he said, sounding sincere.

Did ya? Oh, blimey! Irene melted hearing that.

'ting!' elevator doors open.

"Where are you quoting that line" Irene sneered in disbelief at Zean.

"I'm serious, Ms. Banner" Zean said.

They arrived at Zean's room. Irene was confused, Zean should have taken her to Irene's office but why did Zean bring Irene into her room instead.

"So, where's my room, Mr. Lorwerth?" ask Irene.

"here. Inside my room is your room" Zean replied as he sat on the dark brown leather sofa.

Whahuh? Oh my god, it seems like this stranger has really gone crazy.

"Don't joke, Mr. Lorwerth" Irene exclaimed and left, but Zean quickly grabbed Irene's hand until she fell into Zean's lap.

"Why are you treating me like this?" ask Irene.

Zean smiled warmly then tucked Irene's brown hair behind her ears.

"The color I've liked you since the first time I saw you" Zean replied looking into the girl's eyes on her lap.

"You just got to know me, Mr. Lorwerth. Is it possible that this soon you can immediately say that you like me? And, yeah, even since the first time you saw me? You're joking, please stop this silly joke of yours" Irene sighed.

"Why are you pissing me off and then you make me feel special then you piss me off again and then-"

"Stop blabbering or I'll kiss you" Zean cut off as she brought her face closer to Irene's.

The deg! Irene gulped down with difficulty, why this foreign man always made her flutter like a rollercoaster.

'brak!'

Suddenly the door opened. Irene and Zean turned their heads together then Irene quickly got up from Zean's lap. Ohhhhh really embarrassing! Surely the person at the door will think a no-no.

"Can you knock on the door first, James" Zean scolded at the man standing like a fool at the door with his eyes glaring and mouth open.

Yeah, how not? The man was James, James Lorwerth who was shocked to see his older brother, Arzean Lorwerth was with a beautiful woman.

James smiled and knocked on the door.

You weird guy! Where did he get the teaching to open the door first and then knock?

"Are you really a woman?" asked James to walk over to Irene.

Irene looked at James with a puzzled look. Is this guy not sane? Why would he ask such a stupid thing?

"Don't bother him, James" Zean said.

James stared strangely at Zean with the face of 'are u kidding me?' Previously Zean never cared if James teased any woman but now? James simply asked Irene and Zean immediately said 'Don't bother him'

"Hmmm.." James seemed to think.

"Alright, Zean. But really this is a rare moment, you finally proved that I have a normal brother" James paused.

"So, can I introduce myself?" ask James.

Just as James was about to speak, Zean had already preceded him. And didn't give James a chance to talk.

"He is James, James Lorwerth. James is my little brother he's disrespectful and he likes it. And James, this is Irene Banner. She was the personal secretary who would take care of my business trip" Zean said.

Oh so this weird guy is his little brother the stranger guy? Wahh really is the same crazy sister.

Irene smiled stiffly at James, while James returned the smile with a blink of an eye.

"C'mon, Zean! I want to get to know him formally" James said, extending his hand.

"James" he said introducing himself as he looked at Irene with a smile that fluffed so kindly.

Irene shook James' hand.

"Irene" said.

Then seconds later James immediately kissed the back of Irene's hand that made her jerk in shock. Zean glared in disbelief at what his sister was doing.

Irene immediately pulled out her hand and threw a sharp glare at James.

"What are you doing? Are you aware?Why are you kissing my hand even when we just met, are you drunk? You just know me! I'm not a woman you can treat at will! I don't care even if you're the brother of my boss ak-"

"James! Can you get out of my room" Zean interrupted, stopping Irene's chatter.

James looked at Zean in surprise, not usually an Arzean Lorwerth blocking his act of flirting with any woman James wanted.

"You're a rare woman, miss. If I did that to another woman, they would definitely be happy and willing to sleep with me but what's the matter with you?" james looked at Irene as he raised his eyebrows.

Irene looked at James irritatedly as she clenched her hands tightly, eagerly clawing at James's brazen face. Brother and sister are equally annoying and jerk!

"Stop, James!" exclamation Zean.

"Ohhh, all right, all right, Zean. You don't have to be mad at me, my cute brother" James tried to melt the sisters.

"I'll go now. But if you're tired of this beautiful secretary of yours, you can call me, Zean" James said with a gaze that didn't turn away from Irene who returned James's piercing, piercing gaze, you annoying little guy.

James walked out, Zean staring at James' back. Zean was used to James teasing the woman in front of him but somehow this time Zean was really upset to see his sister teasing Irene. I want Zean to punch James to the brink and not care if James is his own brother.

"I'm sorry James, Irene" said Zean, who was staring at Irene.

Irene did not care, it felt like she wanted to disappear from Zean's sight or if she could she wanted to disappear forever from Zean's life.

Zean pulls Irene in his arms but Irene restrains her body by pushing Zean's chest.

"What do you want to do now, Mr. Lorwerth? Do you want me to forgive your sister?" Irene's pause. Zean just kept waiting for Irene to continue her words.

"It won't, unless he apologizes sincerely" Irene continued, throwing an annoyed look.

Zean wrapped his hands around Irene's small waist, his eyes looking at Irene who continued to look everywhere as long as she did not look at Zean who was now looking at her gently.

"I don't care about James, you want to hate him forever I don't care" Zean paused.

"I just want you to look at me right now" Zean asked in a low voice.

Irene closed her eyes for a moment then turned her gaze to look at Zean. The two pairs of eyes seemed to be talking to each other in silence, linking to each other non-stop. A second later, Zean stroked Irene's cheek.

"Don't babble in front of other men, don't smile at other men. And don't stare at other men like you're looking at me right now" Zean said, then briefly kissed Irene's lips.
