The Beautiful Thief of CEO Arogan
Chapter 20: The Punishment

The DeXaR Company

Currently, DeXaR Company is holding a monthly meeting. The mood was quiet and gripping. Especially with Steven's sharp eye tail staring at everyone present in the meeting.

They just did a graph presentation of the company's income and expenses. There are also those who present product marketing strategies for the next month. But there is something that makes Steven not satisfied because the company's revenue for the last 3 months continues to decline. It made all the fear because they were definitely the target of a Steven's anger.

"Can you explain why the company can decline 3 months in a row?" asked Steven with emphasis

"ANSWER!!!"

All the employees gasped at Steven's screams. They no one dared to speak up because it was the same as ushering their lives. But if they stay quiet, they will continue to get pressure from their boss and it makes them shrink mentally.

"So you guys don't want to talk?"

"Ma_maaf Sir. The company is declining due to competition from other companies. They launch products that are almost the same as our products and the price they spend is more affordable. So then....

BRACH

"Then why didn't anyone report to me, huh?" Steven kicked the table so hard that everyone trembled in fear. If the company's problems, Steven won't give any mercy. At that time they will be fired because they are considered unable to help develop the company.

"Is there any other reason?"

Everyone back down. But one of them reported about the financial statement irregularities in the second month. But unfortunately he could not find the cause of the decline in that month.

"Give me the report of the last 3 months!! Today's meeting is quite up here. You can go." cried Steven.

Everyone began to run away from the meeting room that felt like hell. Maybe this time they escaped but not for his next meeting. Moreover, their boss will find out for themselves the cause of the company's problems.

Steven massaged the base of his nose. He felt his employees could not be relied on. This kind of matter alone he also had to figure it out. Not to mention the problems at home. Because of Kate's death kick, she can barely have children.

Actually he still wanted to rest at home because of the pain in his lower part. Last night, Kate held it so hard that it made hers throbbing pain.

But James contacts him if there's a monthly meeting held at the end of each month. And he doesn't want to miss it. Especially James said if there is a decline in the company. So inevitably Steven went to the company to take care of it.

"This is the financial report of the last three months, sir." James submitted three maps with financial statements to Steven

Steven checked the files one by one. But the ringing of James' cell phone made him lose his concentration and stare intently at James.

"Sorry Sir." James stayed away to get a phone call

"Observe him !!" he said to someone across the street. After her she hung up the phone and returned to where Steven was.

"What's wrong?" ask Steven

"Guardians report if there are intruders. She was recorded talking to Kate, sir."

Steven frowned, looking at James. " Kate?"

"Yes sir. Looks like she's Kate's plot and wants to save Kate. But it looks like Kate's not coming with him."

Steven fell silent. He immediately opened his laptop and saw his home cctv footage connected directly on his laptop.

And right, there's someone talking to Kate and that guy's wearing his guard uniform. Shit .. Again he was disappointed. Actually how do they work? why is the house guarded by so many guards can still be entered by intruders.

Steven looked at Kate and the man. At first, Kate kicked the man to the ground. Maybe he thought the guy was someone else. Hah.again Kate took out her kick. Like her she had to be careful on the woman's legs.

Steven raised the volume to hear their conversation. But unfortunately their conversation could not be heard Steven. What are they talking about? Did Kate ask her friend for help to free her? But it's not gonna work because she has Jully to threaten Kate. And don't forget the bracelet Kate wore. So she's sure Kate won't mess around.

"We're going home now." Steven closed his laptop rough and walked first. She was very curious about what Kate was talking about with the man. If it's true that he's planning to escape then he'll kill Jully right then and there.

James called the driver to prepare the car because their master was going home at that very moment.

The car is parked in front of the company. The driver opened the door for Steven . And James sat down at the wheel.

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly turned sinister. It seems like something made the master angry, thought the driver.

With his broad strides, Steven rushed in and looked for Kate Berley.

"KATE BERLEY!!!" shouts Steven. But the woman did not show up. Steven asks James to find Kate.

"Drag her in front of me!!" Steven loosened his tie and stepped away into his room. Trouble in the office added to the intruder made himself hot. He'll soak first before punishing Kate.

While the woman who is currently in search of Steven is relaxing in the back garden. He played swings and occasionally ate the fruit he brought from the kitchen. He had yet to realize if there was a big problem waiting for him.

"Where's Kate Berley?" ask James to Maid.

"Miss is in the garden behind Mr." replied Maid

James was looking for Kate in the backyard. And without warning, James immediately pulled Kate's shirt from behind

"Hey..!!!!" kate almost fell down. He looked at who dared to pull him.

"James??? What are you doing, huh? Release me!!!" Kate rebelled and tried to let go of James's hand pulling his shirt

"Master wants you to see him."

"What's? Is he home yet? Why so fast?"

"Kc... You talk too much. Hurry up to meet the Master in his room!!" James pushes Kate to the ground on Steven's doorstep.

Kate grunts angrily, she points her middle finger and walks into Steven's room.

"What a dare." muttered James. He chose to go to Steven's study to do his job.

Meanwhile, Kate who had entered Steven's room looked wildly looking for a curse man who had made him suffer all this time.

"Where is he?" muttered.

"Kate Berley!!"

Kate gasped at the heavy voice calling out to her. He turned his head and widened his eyes looking at Steven who was only using a towel that covered his lower body

"Yes ...!!" Kate closed both eyes with her hands. "Hurry up and put your clothes on, Goddamn it!!!" scream Kate

But Steven didn't pay attention to it. He approached Kate and stood right in front of her. "Say!!! What are you planning, Kate Berley?"

"A_what do you mean? I don't understand."

"Still pretending not to know? Should I order my men to....

"Enough!! " Kate looked hard at Steven. " Why do you like to threaten me so much? If you want, you just kill me. It has nothing to do with Mommy."

Steven stared intently at Kate's face. His gaze was as if he was stripping Kate with his sharp gaze. But her gaze stopped right on Kate's slightly open lips as if inviting herself to kiss her.

"Why are you quiet?" ask Kate

Steven didn't listen to Kate. He immediately grabbed Kate's lips and kissed her greedily.

Kate widened both her eyes. He pushed Steven. But the man's strength was greater. Steven pushed Kate into bed.

Kate did not remain silent. He floated back his death kick. But unfortunately, this time Kate's tricks read by Steven. She locked Kate's movements under her shackles.

"You want to destroy my future again? I can't, Kate Berley."

Kate snorted in annoyance and pushed Steven to the side. He hurriedly stood up and looked at Steven with a hateful gaze.

"You're the pervert I've met. You suck." Kate came out of Steven's room. He took out his swearing that was still heard by Steven.

The man just smirked his lips. "Not bad."
