Jeremy is the most annoying person in Nesta's eyes. Talkative, loud and always angry. Whatever she does is always wrong. The two are like cats and dogs, constantly at war. But her relationship with Jeremy changes when Nesta meets Danny - Jeremy's son. Will they find love?

Chapter 1 Day One

"Argh!" Jeremy screamed, echoing everywhere. "You idiot, what are you doing?"

"Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."

"You stupid!" He pointed at the girl in front of him and asked angrily, "Who are you?"

"Me, sir?" asked the girl herself.

"Yes, you!" snapped Jeremy, a mature 32-year-old man. Handsome and cold. His gaze was sharp, as if it could draw a weapon.

"I--"

Before she could finish her sentence, someone opened the door. "Excuse me-" Shaun, the manager of the Golden Star, was stunned. He is not an angel or a man with a sixth sense who can immediately tell when his boss has an incident. Instead, he was shocked by Nesta's presence as he and Jeremy were discussing employee performance reports. --with his stupid face and Jeremy, the angry boss. She has a hunch that something terrible must have happened here.

"It's good you're here." Jeremy felt he could take his anger out on Shaun as well. "That idiot employee spilled hot coffee on my trousers!"

"I swear I didn't do it on purpose." The perpetrator's attempt at an explanation.

Shaun slapped his forehead. "Forgive her. She's a new employee here."

Jeremy, a CEO known to be handsome and cold. He came from a distinguished family, intelligent, young, and creative. God gave him many good things, so he became arrogant. Perfectionist, that's what he is. Don't try to make mistakes in front of him. "Fire her right now!"

"I'm sorry, sir." The offender tried to explain.

"Oh, my..." Shaun slapped his forehead. "Forgive her, sir. She's a new errand girl.

Jeremy snorted. "Fire her right now!"

Shaun looked at Nesta - the errand girl who had just spilled the coffee.

Nesta panicked. Yeah, just one day's work already fired?

Not to mention Mickey, who had been shoving various gifts down Nesta's throat. Her mother asked for a new nightgown and a cell phone, and her father secretly asked for leather shoes.

Hah! If she were to be fired, the hopes of the four commoners would vanish.

This cannot be allowed.

"Sir, I'm sorry." Nesta took a handkerchief and tried to clean the stains on Jeremy's pants.

"Where are your hands going?"

"Are you going to clean your pants?"

Good grief! Shaun shook his head.

Jeremy took a step back. "Don't try it, okay? You're not my wife. How dare you touch her!"

"Wife?" Nesta frowned in confusion. Is this what they call the fate of enslaved people? It always has to be corrected here and there.

"Get out of my room!"

"Huh?" Nesta's mouth fell open. She felt so stupid in this situation.

Shaun took control of the situation. "You go first, okay?"

"But, sir.

"All right, just get out first. I'll take care of this."

Nesta complied. She apologized to the bosses.

"Shit! Where did that girl come from?" asked Jeremy after Nesta closed the door.

"She's not, and we hired yesterday's employees, sir," Shaun explained.

"Then you take it lightly?"

"What?" Shaun refuses to accept Jeremy's accusations. Everything is called origin. He works overtime to choose the right employee. "You said yourself to choose the employee with the best test results. And this is the best, sir."

"The best ever!" Jeremy snapped. "You don't see. She spilled hot coffee all over this." Jeremy pointed to his pants. "Like trying on my future!"

Shaun just sighed.

After his emotions had calmed down a bit, Jeremy sat down in his office chair.

"Anyway, I don't want to know. A fire that employee today!"

Shaun took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "We've fired a lot of employees, sir. If we fire him this time, it'll be Mr. Devil. She's still a new employee."

Jeremy was flustered. "You're the one I fired!"

Shaun gets a headache. "But, sir, besides that, he signed a contract with us yesterday. He has worked with us for at least a year. If he quits in the middle, we will fine him three months' salary. On the other hand, if we fire him for less than a year without cause, we will impose a fine of one hundred million.

Jeremy flinched. "Crazy! A hundred million? What idiot made that rule?"

"You made it yourself."

Damn it! Jeremy felt so stupid for such a rule. He was annoyed because he couldn't stop himself from firing annoying employees.

"So how?" Shaun asked, curious about Jeremy's decision.

The 32-year-old leaned back in his chair.

"How can you pick the wrong employee, Shaun? Normally you never hire the wrong employee."

Shaun was silent.

"Just think, it's only been one working day like this. You can't really choose it."

This time Shaun replied, "Well, weren't you the one who asked me to choose the employees according to your wishes?"

"My wishes, huh?" retorted Jeremy.

"You said to choose employees who are strong, hardworking, able to work, not weak, who are resilient when you are angry, who are not easily offended."

Jeremy rubbed his head as he listened to Shaun's explanation.

"When I took the test, Nesta answered closest to your criteria. Because she said she was used to situations like this." Shaun tapped on Jeremy's desk to get his attention. "She lives with his fussy stepmother."

"So you're saying I'm as picky as her stepmother?"

Shaun pursed his lips. Think for yourself!

Jeremy tried to remember. "Did I ask that?"

"I can show you the tape." Shaun picked up his cell phone. Shaun is always there because Jeremy is unstable. He has a good strategy for dealing with business projects. But his emotions are zero.

Often blamed, Shaun ends up strategizing. Whenever Jeremy gave him an order, he recorded it on his cell phone. As a backup, in case the boss "relapsed".

Jeremy hastily prevented. "No need. The important thing is from today on. I don't want to see her again."

"But we can't just fire her, sir. Employees have human rights too."

"Suit yourself. Anyway, I don't want to see that girl again."

"Okay, sir, we can make arrangements so you won't see Nesta again."

"I don't trust you anymore. I made my own rules. I'll send them to your email later."

Shaun waited in case.

"Why are you still so quiet? Get back to work, Shaun!"

Sigh, Shaun, an excuse. Watch out if Jeremy wants to 'talk' again! Maybe he'll be the one to quit.

"Mission, sir!" Shaun is emotional.

"Hmmm!" Jeremy, who cares.

Nesta went to the pantry to clean up the remains of her work. His hands trembled slightly. What if she got fired?

Lusi suddenly grabbed Nesta's hand.

Nesta complained of pain.

"What were you doing in Mr. Jeremy's room?"

"Working," she replied casually. Besides, Lusi's question was too odd. Nesta in Jeremy's room? Yes, bring coffee.

"Don't play games with me, okay?" Lusi is grim, not playing with Nesta.

"You already know I'm still working, still asked what."

"You've never been taught any manners, have you? Talking to your superiors is not polite."

"It's not that, Miss. You are the strange one who comes and plays with physical violence. Then I'm also confused why you're curious about what I did earlier."

Lusi giggled. "What was the fuss about?"

"I spilled coffee on Mr. Jeremy's pants earlier."

Lucy frowned. "How come?"

"Well, when I ran out of time, I tried to ask Mr. Jeremy where he was going to put the coffee. He just kept quiet."

"Go on?"

"Because he was silent when I called him, I tapped him on the shoulder. He was even surprised. He spilled all the coffee."

"You have the nerve to touch Jeremy!"

"Forced. It's just a little touch. Here...." Nesta showed her shoulder. "That's just using nails, slowly."

"Ouch!" Lucy got annoyed. "You talk a lot, huh."

"Later, when I keep quiet, you get confused."

"Oh my God..." Lucy got annoyed. "Watch out!" She moved Nesta's body.

Nesta moved and resumed his work. Lucy returned to the room.

"Funny," she asked. She was the one who got angry. Nesta nagged at the dirty glass.

Nesta must be patient. That is the name of the person who works. It's important to remember that having no money is more horrible than being scolded by the boss!

Back in the room, Shaun is sitting in a chair. Catching his breath, he calls Nesta and asks the girl to come in. Nesta arrived shortly after.

"Come in!" Shaun said as someone knocked on the door. He guessed it was Nesta.

Nesta entered. "Excuse me, sir." She sits across from Shaun and mentally guesses that she will be fired for sure.

Shaun looks at Nesta. "You know you went too far this morning," Shaun said.

Nesta just looked down. "I'm sorry, sir."

Shaun chuckled, then copied a file from his phone to the computer. Nesta glanced as something came out of the printer.

Shaun read it briefly. Then he folded the paper neatly. "It's for you." He handed over the printout.

Is she being released?

"Read it carefully and make sure there are no mistakes."

"Okay, sir."

"You can go back to work."

Nesta comes out of Shaun's room. She read the paper before starting work. She gasps. No letter of dismissal. But this is MORE DANGEROUS.

Crazy Jeremy!

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

Nicole had entered marriage with Walter, a man who never returned her feelings, bound to him through an arrangement made by their families rather than by choice. Even so, she had held onto the quiet belief that time might soften his heart and that one day he would learn to love her. However, that day never came. Instead, he treated her with constant contempt, tearing her down with cruel words and dismissing her as fat and manipulative whenever it suited him. After two years of a cold and distant marriage, Walter demanded a divorce, delivering his decision in the most degrading manner he could manage. Stripped of her dignity and exhausted by the humiliation, Nicole agreed to her friend Brenda's plan to make him see what he had lost. The idea was simple but daring. She would use another man to prove that the woman Walter had mocked and insulted could still be desired by someone else. All they had to do was hire a gigolo. Patrick had endured one romantic disappointment after another. Every woman he had been involved with had been drawn not to him, but to his wealth. As one of the heirs to a powerful and influential family, he had long accepted that this pattern was almost unavoidable. What Patrick wanted was far more difficult to find. He longed to fall in love with a woman who cared for him as a person, not for the name he carried or the fortune attached to it. One night, while he was at a bar, an attractive stranger approached him. Because of his appearance and composed demeanor, she mistook him for a gigolo. She made an unconventional proposal, one that immediately caught his interest and proved impossible for him to refuse.
