Chapter 6
At that moment, a loud, urgent knock echoed from the door, causing both of us to jump and hurriedly throw on our disheveled clothes.
I approached the door cautiously, hearing angry voices from the other
side.
Apparently, the water had indeed seeped down to the ground floor. The people from downstairs rushed up, pounding on the door and shouting
curses.
The downstairs neighbor was incredibly intimidating. Terrified, I opted to act as if the apartment were empty and hurried back to the bathroom.
The man requested the plumber to fix the water pipe urgently. The man was highly skilled, and the pipe was repaired in no time.
The neighbor knocked for a bit, but when no one answered, they eventually went away.
With my worries now behind me, I was prepared to resume the seduction plan that had been abruptly halted. However, my parents returned
unexpectedly, forcing me to abandon it.
As I was about to leave, the plumber discreetly touched my trouser pocket.
Only after he departed did I realize he’d handed me a business card with his name and phone number.

with him, and he admitted he liked me a lot too. Consequently, we clicked and established our romantic relationship.
He was very good to me, buying me delicious food every day. I was enveloped in a passionate love that made me feel wonderfully happy.

Even at over 30, his genuine and heartfelt nature took me by surprise. Encountering someone who approached love with such seriousness made my heart skip a beat.
At that moment, I decided I would stay with him indefinitely.
Little did I know, a nightmare was looming on the horizon.
That day, he unexpectedly announced that he was bringing me to a business dinner. I was uncertain. “But, Aaron, I don’t know how to drink,” I expressed my concern.
He assured me it was alright. He merely wanted me to experience a glimpse of his world.
With no real option, I gathered my courage and accompanied him—his career depended on it, after all.

In the private room were several other men, all in their forties and visibly
older than him.
They were the executives of the partner companies he collaborated with.
My seat was right in between Aaron and these men.
As soon as I took my seat, the men kept their eyes fixed on me.
Their gazes made me feel as if I were being undressed.
Feeling uneasy, I looked at Aaron for help.
He responded with a comforting expression
