Chapter 2 Obsession

Getting a job is not as difficult as people say. The proof is now that Freya has been able to do an internship at a big company, where it is said that her salary can be transferred immediately the first time she is accepted again.

"Cie, it's nice to see you smiling like that. It's not as gloomy as usual," said Dera.

Indeed, Freya never showed her anxiety after a household as old as corn kernels had to run aground due to a third person, as well as the increasingly impoverished family conditions.

"Thank you for inviting me here. At least for a full month, I don't have to worry about paying rent for a house with the others."

His friend just nodded and walked away with a pile of files in his hand. Maybe next time they can talk, it's time to focus on work.

Relatively new, Freya only saw a few of her fellow apprentices. They are already focused on the computer on the desk.

"Okay, must be enthusiastic for the sake of Mama and Papa."

His hands are skilled at moving to the right and left, looking at the list of what must be completed today. Not much, maybe because it's prime.

From a distance, Leon continued to observe Freya. He was smiling meaningfully. Having just met his intern for one day, Leon knows the woman's economic condition.

He was sure that sooner or later, Freya would overcome her life's problems. Let's see later.

"Mr. Leon," said Nara, his secretary.

Turning around, pretending to be watching the other employees. "Yes, Ra. What's wrong?"

"Just wanted to remind you that this afternoon you will meet with the owner of N'care Beauty, sir."

Ah, he met Claudia. Leon is lazy; he has to pretend to be charming. "Can't you cancel? Or you can ask Aiden to replace me."

"Sorry, sir. But the party from there only agrees if Mr. Leon himself comes."

What else do you want, Claudia? Wasn't Leon enough to say no to that woman repeatedly? Claudia Amara is a woman full of ambition to get Leon. Even his family agrees, but it's a shame Leon doesn't respect him at all.

With resignation, finally, Leon backed the body. Leaving Nara to follow him, of all the secretaries who accompany her, only Nara has never been involved in a crazy scandal. Because the world knows enough about how handsome Leon Maxime is, smile, the women immediately turn their eyes to look at him.

I tried to start the old motor many times, but it still failed. Indeed, it had been a long time since Freya brought Luvy to the repair shop. He knows very well he must save expenses.

"Ah, can I just stay at the office? It's safe, I think, but there will be more fees coming home."

While petting her, finally, Freya was forced to walk out of the company gate. Surrender to the heat of the sun. It's okay, it'll be 3 pm soon, and maybe the sun won't be as hot. After only a few minutes of walking, Freya was startled by a car horn. The car window rolled down, revealing a very familiar man with glasses. Who else, if not the boss?

"Your house is still around here?"

"Mr. Leon asked me?"

"Ask the tree. Yes, ask you."

Just saved, Freya is sure she will be offered a ride, but you can't be that bike, right? "Not bad, sir. If you can walk for an hour, why?"

The man closed the car window again. Whoa, bad! But not; Leon came out and approached Freya.

"Here, I brought your bag. It's strange; our team has prepared your needs at the office. Why bother bringing your laptop?"

No offers. No solicitation. What do you mean, Mr. Leon? Why take Freya's bag without warning?

"Hey, don't just stay silent. Come in; it's not easy to find a parking spot on this busy street."

Freya complied. Come in and sit down; he has never sat in a world-class sports car. It's true; his father used to be rich, not less than Maxime's family.

They were silent without a word; even Leon didn't have any stock of discussion that he wanted to bring to the surface.

"After the second crossroad, turn right.

Sir."

"I don't want to take you home first. I'm hungry; accompany me to eat."

OK, second push. The man beside him was frigid, and Freya got goosebumps. But as a subordinate, he can't do anything. After all, just accompanying food, not accompanying sleeping in bed.

Arriving at a high-class restaurant, Freya was quite insecure about her appearance. Shabby, not stylish, tacky.

"Where do we sit? It seems it's full; it's lunchtime, sir," worried Freya.

From the outside, you already know that The Foodest restaurant has always been a favorite of workers who pay millions to settle their stomach affairs. In the past, Freya also often went there when she had many red sheets in her wallet; that was then, but not now.

"I always have a special place at The Foodest restaurant."

Leon walked dashingly, glanced back slightly,y and waited for Freya to follow him. Many pairs of eyes are whispering to neighbors. Is that as famous as Leon? Thought Freya.

Arriving on the 3rd floor, Leon was greeted warmly by one of the chefs with a name tag in his pocket. Looks like the main chef.

"As usual, two servings this time. What are you drinking?"

"Same with Mister Leon."

Chef resigned after getting minions from Leon. Once again, Freya felt uncomfortable. She doesn't want to be judged as seducing her superiors because she's beautiful. But it's useless; for now, dealing with anyone is not the goal.

"Mr. Leon, do you come here often?" asked Freya breaking the silence.

"Yes."

Back awkward. It's only been two days since we met, but why can Freya be this nervous about a man still gray in her mind?

"Don't call me Sir when we're out of the office."

"But..?"

"That's an order," Leon ordered coldly.

"Then what should I call you, sir?"

Leon was silent, gazing around. Only a few chairs are owned by the owner. Indeed, not many people can have an invitation to greet the chef of The Foodest.

"Call me Leon, or honey, you can," Leon smiled meaningfully. Hoping Freya was at least tempted by her smiling review.

But what the man did didn't work at all. Freya was already blind to the many men who approached her. Great heartbreak takes the right time.

"I'll just call Leon, honey call. Not just anyone can get it."

"Haha. Just relax; I was joking earlier."

"I know."

"Then, if I'm being serious, do you know about it, Mrs. Freya Renata?"

"I am a different woman than you think, Mr. Leon." However, Freya wants her life to be safe in the office without any burdens and cheap gossip.

Having failed in a relationship, even getting divorced, made Freya careful about the signs of men from

Their words. A man like Leon, the boss, must be predictable. He just wanted his body.

"That's why you became my target."

Ah, what do you mean?
