Upon ensuring Wylynn had already picked up her clothes and was out of sight, Levi only walked to the door to open it. After doing so, Yohann's figure welcomed his gaze. The kid still had band-aids on his forehead and chin, but he didn't seem to mind it as his emotions got the best of him. His flaming red eyes cast a dagger-like glare, and his face was etched with indignation. As only a 13 years old boy, his height couldn't be compared with his father's, but his stubbornness surpassed the latter.

Levi saw his son's expression and the invincible question marks on Yohann's head, but he shot a question first before the latter did. "What are you doing here?" he asked, without any trace of emotion.

Levi was a strict father to Yohann, so the latter had always feared him. Thus, in such a face-to-face confrontation, the kid's aura was overshadowed by his father's, but his stubbornness still didn't waver, and he even attempted to walk past his father.

However, Levi quickly acted. He put pressure on the door to prevent the kid from entering and growled with a hint of warning, "Yohann."

Yohann's body froze as soon as he heard his father's voice. But, clutching his hands tightly, he looked at Levi and exclaimed, "I don't agree with your remarriage!"

"Whether I remarry or not, that's my business," Levi coldly replied.

Feeling extremely aggrieved, Yohann went on arguing with his father. "But I'm your son. You must get my consent before remarrying!" he grumbled, glowering.

After gathering his courage, he soon boldly added, "I don't like that woman."

"Then who do you like?" Levi asked, challenging his son.

Yohann opened his mouth but couldn't get himself to utter anything. Of course, he disliked everyone.

Seeing his son's gaping mouth, Levi wasted no time and abruptly ended the topic, saying, "Since your injury is not that serious, don't hide in the hospital any longer and go home tonight."

But Yohann, as an obstinate child, raised his voice again, yelling, "I'm not going back!"

Levi seemed to have reached his limit and snapped, "Then never go home!"

After that, he slammed the door shut.

At that time, Wylynn had already dressed and was hiding in a corner for fear of being seen.

She was at a loss for words at that moment, as it was her first time being nearly caught doing that obscene activity with Levi, not just by a random person, but by Levi's son!

Nonetheless, Levi's behavior bothered her the most. After witnessing the scene, her impression of him deteriorated even further!

Seeing the man coming back, Wylynn straightened up and couldn't help but tell him off, "Mr. Zacharias, he's already 13 years old, and he can already understand a lot of things. As a father, you should give him a good set of examples, but what you did earlier will surely leave a scar in him instead of good morals."

She had heard the entire conversation between the father and son just now, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for Yohann and vexed with Levi. He already had a fiancée, but he was still into such nasty things, and he was also so impatient with his child.

Levi heard every word Wylynn had said, but his expression remained unchanged. He walked over to the bed, took up the cigarette box on the bedside table, drew a stick from it, and lit it.

"He's my son. Whatever I want to do with him is up to me," he said, his face expressionless and cold.

After a brief pause, a smirk suddenly flashed on his face. He looked at Wylynn and added, "You have so many opinions about this matter. Why? You want to take care of him?"

The chaffing tone in Levi's voice didn't escape Wylynn's ear. For no apparent reason, she suddenly felt like choking. But then she pursed her lips and countered, "I'm just worried that if you don't educate your child well, he'll come to trouble my brother again."

In an instant, Levi fell silent.

Upon assessing the mood, Wylynn picked up her phone that had fallen on the bed and said, "I think you're no longer interested in continuing this. So, our relationship officially ended now."

After gathering all her belongings and fixing herself up, she directly left the room without looking back.

Levi, who was about to be left, stared intently at her disappearing back.

Shortly after Wylynn had left, his phone suddenly rang. He sluggishly picked it up, and the person on the other end of the line asked, "Mr. Zacharias, what time will you come to the company tomorrow?"

Just a few months ago, Wylynn joined CompanyMeta, the largest design firm in Bellona City specializing in large-scale tooling projects, and just earlier, she learned that there would be a new boss. Since it was said that a new broom sweeps clean, enthusiasm suddenly surged into Wylynn's body. But she was also worried that the new boss would extinguish an inconspicuous little fire like her first in order to stand out.

CompanyMeta occupied the entire flat floor on the 16th floor of the No. 81 Building. As a result, Wylynn had to take an elevator, which would take a long time due to the company's floor number. Luckily, she successfully timed in before 9:30 am.

As it was still early, only a few of her colleagues were present in the design department, and upon walking in, a woman standing in front of her desk, seemingly waiting for her, welcomed her.

Wylynn put her bag down first before looking at her and asking, "Is there something wrong?"

With a bitchy aura, Litzy Sacher folded her arms across her chest and sharply said, "Since you and Neo have already broken up, don't make excuses to tangle him any longer."

Upon hearing the warning tone in the latter's voice, Wylynn said ridiculously, "Litzy, you're the third party involved in my relationship. What right do you have to say that to me?"

Due to the unexpected attack, Litzy's expression faltered, but she still managed to declare, "I don't care what happened to you two in the past. All I need you to remember is that I'm Neo's girlfriend now!"

Shortly after, she remembered something and added, "Anyway, he mentioned he'll go to your family house this weekend; why?"

Litzy learning about it didn't bring any shock to Wylynn. Cooly, she goaded, "Why don't you ask him?"

Wylynn was not easily piqued, but her short interaction with Litzy pushed her to the limit.

While Litzy was frowning in annoyance, Wylynn even showed her a smile and said, "Litzy, Neo is not only my ex-boyfriend but also my stepmother's nephew. Strictly speaking, he is a relative of our family. Do you really think he's no longer allowed to meet his relatives after you two get together?"

She then snorted as her brow shot upward and scoffed, "Are you that afraid of losing him? Then why should you get a rope and tie him up? That way, you two will be together 24 hours!"

"You..." Litzy uttered only in her rage.

Wylynn and Litzy went on with their war of words when they suddenly heard two coughs, and Naia Wagener called Wylynn out.

Only then did their catfight come to an end. They turned around only to see several people standing at the door. Aside from their colleagues from the design department, Vice President Hachtel was also there, along with a striking man. The latter stood there in a neat suit and had his mouth shut. Whether in appearance or his temperament, he was clearly superior to others, making him stand out from the crowd.

As soon as Wylynn met the man's gaze, her body froze in place, and her mind went blank.

Just then, Vice President Hachtel introduced the man. "This is President Zacharias. Starting today, he will lead our company."

However, the Vice President's loud, clear voice did not help her break out of her trance.

There were a few steps between them, but Levi's enticing aura had reached her.

Finally, Wylynn woke up when the new boss spoke. "Is that the professional quality that the staff in the design department have, Vice President Hachtel? Discussing private matters during work hours? Their voices were even so loud that everyone on this floor could clearly hear them. I don't see any team cohesion here."

"Mr. Zacharias..." Vice President Hachtel attempted to explain, but Levi didn't wait for him and directly headed toward the President's office.

Vice President Hachtel quickly followed him, still trying to explain as they strode away.

Litzy was embarrassed as the new boss had witnessed her squabble on his first day. It would undoubtedly make a negative impression on her.

She scowled at Wylynn and spat, "Are you satisfied now?"

Wylynn hadn't yet responded, but Litzy had already turned her back and walked away.

Employees in the department looked at Wylynn with sympathy for a few moments before the crowd dispersed. Naia approached Wylynn and whispered, "Is she picking on you again?"

Looking at Litzy's disappearing back, Wylynn pursed her lips, clenched her fists tightly, and sharply uttered, "She's sick."

As the new CEO of the CompanyMeta, Levi held several meetings one after another on his first in the company. Knowing this and witnessing the scene earlier, employees knew that the new boss was strict. Hence, they did not dare to relax even a bit. But the most frightened among them all was Wylynn.

Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine the man who had been in her bed the day before would be her new boss today.

Wylynn was at the meeting at that moment, but her mind was elsewhere, wondering, 'Have I offended Levi in the last three months? It's very impossible that it's all because of what happened yesterday, isn't it?'

Her thoughts were racing throughout the meeting, and they didn't pause until the meeting ended at 3:30 pm. Only then did Wylynn breathe a sigh of relief.

In her cubicle, her thoughts again wander, rendering her unfocused and only relying on her habitual instinct for a long time. Realizing this, she grabbed a cup and went to the pantry to make coffee hoping it would help her wake up.

Unexpectedly, when Wylynn walked into the room, she saw the man standing in front of the coffee machine, his back facing her.

Hearing some footsteps, Levi turned his head and looked at her.

Wylynn's slack nerves tightened instantly, and she stuttered, "Bo... boss!"

Levi removed his suit before heading out of his office, leaving him in polo with the cuffs rolled up to his elbow, exposing his muscular forearms.

Upon seeing Wylynn, he put the mug he was holding down on the table, turned around, and leaned on the bar, standing a little idly. He then picked up the cigarette box beside him and lit it skillfully. He raised his gaze to her, puffed a cloud of smoke, and said, "Lock the door."

Wylynn couldn't make out what he was saying, so she asked sheepishly, "Huh?"

Levi flicked his cigarette to remove the burned ashes in it and repeated in a deep voice, "I said, lock the door."

This time, Wylynn heard him clearly, but she was kind of hesitant to do what he instructed her. Still, he was her boss now, not just her bed partner, so that she couldn't say no to him.

After reminding herself of their current situation, Wylynn did as she was told. She locked the room door, turned around, and stood there like a stone statue.

Having something to tell her, Levi moved his hand, holding the cigarette back and forth, and said, "Come here."

Upon hearing his commanding tone, Wylynn could only walk over to him, and as she got closer, a familiar scent of cedar filled her nose.

In a joshing manner, Levi spoke, "Weren't you really angry with how I taught my child just yesterday? So why are you cowering now?"

Who wouldn't? After deciding to be his long-term partner in bed for three months and suddenly becoming her boss, what face did she still have to face him?

Nevertheless, she had the feeling that if he hadn't had a fiancée, their relationship would have continued.

Thinking of this, Wylynn felt her ear warm.

Before that heat spread over her face, she took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at him with a pitiful face. "Boss, could you please not fire me? I worked so hard to join CompanyMeta. I don't want to be kicked out like this," she pled, her eyes glistening with tears.

Wylynn said so as she felt Levi didn't want their relationship to become public. Of course, his reputation would suffer if that happened, especially now that he was the company's CEO. So, before Levi found faults in her and fired her, it was better to beg him now. Besides, they were the only ones here, so no one would see her doing it.

Levi saw how piteous Wylynn's face was and how she begged him, but he just smiled and asked, "When did I say I would fire you?"

As those words fell on Wylynn's ear, her tears that were about to fall suddenly retreated, and she was instantly stupefied.

Levi crushed the cigarette against an ashtray and slid his hands into the pockets of his trousers. Looking down at her, he said slowly, "I just sent you a chat on Facebook."

At that moment, she wished the earth swallowed her whole in extreme shame of herself.

Despite that, she courageously bit the bullet and explained, "I just thought it would be better for us to burn down the bridge that connects us since we no longer have a relationship. Besides..."

As she spoke, she could refrain from glancing at his forearm, which distracted her and caused her to lose track of what she was saying.

Levi, on the other hand, patiently waited for her next word. But after a while of Wylyyn's silence, he prompted, "Besides...?"

With that, Wylynn finally pulled out from the distraction and swallowed hard first before continuing, "Your fiancee will surely mind that, which you might argue about."

Levi fell silent afterward, prompting Wylynn to look at him. But he soon recovered and said, "I thought I made myself clear yesterday that we should do it again before we separate."

After a brief pause, he asked, "Do you think you accomplished it yesterday?"

Wylynn pondered it for a moment and answered in a confused tone, "Probably... Probably not."

"Then it's not over yet," Levi concluded.

He then lifted Wylynn's chin with his thumb and index finger to face her to him and said again, "Add me on Facebook again. I'll watch you do it."

For the nth time today, she was again stunned and stripped of her freedom of choice.

Under Levi's gaze, Wylynn sent a friend request to his account, but she didn't add him to any of her group chats since he only wanted her to add him on Facebook.

Seeing his satisfied expression, Wylynn asked tentatively, "Is there anything else, boss?"

Levi straightened up, forcing her to raise her head and look up at him due to their height difference.

Then, with a cold expression, he stuffed a card into her hand and said, "Come to the hotel tonight."
