Chapter 3 Chap 3 Karin Determination

Ryan just looked at Karin with a cold face, he then invited Karin to leave his room. "Later, when you get out of here. Go to the room opposite the elevator. Tell the woman in the room that you are accepted as my secretary."

"Okay, sir! I will say." Karin got up from her seat, happy, because she managed to get the job she wanted.

Coming out of Ryan's room, Karin went straight to the room that Ryan had mentioned earlier. Standing in front of a door that looked sturdy, Karin knocked on the door, waiting to be invited in.

After being invited to come in, he opened the door. Karin was surprised when she saw that it was the woman who had greeted her with a cold face who she had to meet.

"Afternoon, ma'am! "I was told by Mr. Ryan to report to you that I am now her secretary," explained Karin in a nervous voice, because of the disapproving look from the woman sitting in front of her.

The woman's eyes grew less like looking at Karin when she heard what she said. "Do you know what you have to do as secretary?" asked the woman coldly.

Karin looked into the woman's eyes calmly. "In general, I already know the duties of a secretary, ma'am."

The woman was seen moving the computer mouse in front of her desk and soon the sound of a printing machine was heard. Karin just kept silent and watched what the woman was doing.

"This is your identity card and you must always wear it when entering and leaving this company." The woman then handed Karin an ID card.

Karin accepted it and put, it in the bag. She felt there was no need to stay in the room of a woman who didn't seem to like her.

"Wait!" the woman exclaimed.

Karin sat back in her original place waiting for the woman to say something to her.

"You will often be close to Mr. Ryan, I warn you not to get carried away easily. Mr Ryan, likes women, so don't ever think about whether Mr. Ryan likes you, let alone falling in love with him. You don't want to be heartbroken, do you?" said the woman warning Karin.

Karin took a deep breath. She could feel the scent of competition and hostility from the woman sitting in front of her. "Ma'am, don't worry, I won't fall in love with Mr. Ryan, let alone break my heart because of him."

The woman looked sarcastically at Karin as if she didn't believe what she was saying. "Of course, you would say that, like the previous secretary. They fell in love with Mr. Ryan and when they were dumped by Mr. Ryan, they acted out."

Karin got up from her seat because her business in this woman's room was finished. "You don't need to be afraid, I'm different from Mr. Ryan's previous secretary, excuse me, ma'am!"

She left the woman's room and kept her annoyance in her heart. However, because she was walking while looking down and not paying attention to what was in front of her, Karin bumped into someone who was walking in the same hurry as she was.

Luckily the person grabbed Karin's waist and quickly prevented her from falling. She looked up to see who was helping her and said thank you.

She stopped saying those words, as soon as she saw who the man was who had helped her. Quickly, she tried to release Ryan's grip on her waist. However, instead of letting Karin go. Ryan used this opportunity to pull Karin close to his chest.

"Please let go of your arms, Sir! I don't want any of your employees to see and accuse me of trying to seduce you." Karin tried to remove Ryan's hand from her waist.

"You are a bad liar! If you don't like what I do, why is your heart beating so fast? Why do you look nervous when you're close to me?" Ryan taunted.

Karin stepped on Ryan's foot with her foot in heels, so Ryan quickly let go of his arm around Karin's waist.

Ryan's eyes widened and he stared intently at the woman he had just accepted as his secretary a few minutes ago. "You, how dare you step on my feet! Have you forgotten who I am?"

"Excuse me, sir! I didn't mean to be brave towards you. It's just that, I don't want you to hug me like before. I don't want to make enemies in your company. "I will work as your secretary professionally, but not for things outside the context of work," said Karin.

Ryan waved his hand at Karin. "You go! Don't forget, tomorrow morning, you can't come late."

Karin nodded her head, she then walked quickly into an elevator that was different from the special elevator that Ryan entered.

Arriving in front of the lobby door, Karin walked quickly out of the building, with the seventh floor. She then walked out of the building's spacious courtyard.

Karin's footsteps were hurried, she had to quickly arrive at the bus stop, which was not far from the gate of Ryan's company.

"Why is that woman walking? "Hmm, it looks like she took the bus to come here," Ryan muttered to himself. He noticed that Karin was walking quickly. His eyes were focused on the sway of Karin's hips, which teased his eyes.

"Follow the woman, sir!" Ryan ordered his driver.

Karin didn't realize at all that there was a car following her. She only focused on where she was going.

After walking for a few minutes Karin arrived at the bus stop. She sat on the iron chair at the bus stop. She waited for the bus to her apartment which was located on the outskirts of New City to arrive. Not long after, the bus she was waiting for appeared, then stopped at the stop near where Karin was sitting.

She then got up from her seat and walked onto the bus. She looked for an empty chair and was lucky, there was still an empty chair left at the back, so she didn't need to stand up.

'Why does Moi pay attention to Karin? So much so that I'm willing to wait for her to get on the bus safely,' thought Ryan.

The car driven by Ryan's driver drove back towards Ryan's luxury apartment, after stopping for several minutes to wait for Karin to get on the bus.

A few minutes later, Karin was already in her small and quiet apartment. She turned on the light to illuminate the room, which was previously dark. She walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door and took a bottle of mineral water, then closed the refrigerator door again.

She walked into the living room and sat on the shabby sofa in her apartment. 'How lucky I am, to get the job I want. It's just that I have to be wary of the behavior of my boss, who seems to like paying attention to me,' thought Karin.

She looked at the portrait of her mother, which was saved in the gallery on her cellphone. She still missed her mother, even though the woman who gave birth to her was not always kind to her.

However, she could understand that it was the harsh circumstances that made her mother like that.

In her heart, Karin was determined that she would not be like her mother. Who was willing to give her body to a man who then dumped her.

I won't follow in your footsteps, Mom! Those who give in to men's advances are irresponsible! I won't let what has ruined your life because of a man happen to me too!' Karin determined in her heart.
