''Wrong!!! Replace with a new one.'' Valerie just closed her eyes. She had to save a lot of patience to deal with her new boss, who always made Valerie want to scream. It had only been a week, but Valerie felt like she had been in hell for almost a year.

''Fucking Arthur!" Valerie cursed while gripping his hand. It was the only swear word that could describe how frustrated Valerie was right now, even though she could only do it in her heart.

Even in a state of anger, Valerie never neglected her duties; she always handed them in on time. But everything was still lacking in Arthur's eyes! Valerie glanced at the watch on his left wrist; it was almost lunchtime. But Valerie couldn't help but exhale—everything would be missed, like there could be no meal as long as Valerie's work wasn't done.

One thing that Valerie had come to understand little by little was that Arthur was a perfectionist, stubborn, and mysterious to her. Valerie was still busy struggling with the monitor screen that displayed Arthur's many schedules as a CEO, and it was something that Valerie was still not used to. She had no previous experience as a secretary, and it was quite a surprise for her to get this position. Isn't it strange? Why did Arthur have to make himself the secretary? While he had no experience at all in this field.

The second strange thing was: why should he look for a secretary to Chicago? In the city of Paris, many are more competent than him. Arthur just looked at the table not far from him as he deliberately searched for Valerie's faults. Arthur just liked the expression of his doll, which looked even funnier when it was holding back its anger.

''Valerie ordered me some food.'' Arthur pressed the phone on his desk just to call the phone on Valerie's desk. It's silly, isn't it? He already knew that; Arthur did it on purpose, even though they were quite close.

''Yes, sir.'' Arthur smiled at Valerie's gentle tone. So far away, Arthur could see the expression on Valerie's face, who was still annoyed with him.

Valerie stood tidying up his desk, and he immediately rushed out to order food just for Arthur. Valerie didn't know if this job was included in the secretary's job too. But again, Valerie was just following orders.

Valerie immediately ran to the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. After the elevator closed, he kept glancing at the clock on his wrist. His breath kept racing and he became nervous as the elevator button numbers kept changing slowly. Valerie immediately ran out of the company and stopped a taxi to order food at a restaurant not far from the company.

"What a rich man." Valerie simply muttered as she got off and paid for the taxi, entering casually into the restaurant, which initially felt unfamiliar to her. Given that the diners there were high-class people, he only had to look PD to order food for his boss.

Valerie's stomach also rumbled as she was hungry due to her habit of skipping breakfast. Valerie immediately paid for the food after it was neatly packed in a paper bag made of paper. Valerie had to rush back to find a taxi and stop it; already thirty minutes had passed. Valerie had to return as quickly as possible to avoid Arthur's anger.

Bad luck came to Valerie as she was just running towards the elevator. Her body was hit by someone, and the food she had bought with so much effort fell to the floor.

"I apologize." Valerie heard that heavy, masculine voice gently apologizing to her. But it was not the apology that Valerie needed right now! Her eyes kept looking at the food that fell to the floor.

"The end of your life, Valerie!" Valerie muttered in her heart as she closed her eyes.

The man's hand, which she still didn't see how he looked, tried to touch Valerie just to help her up. But Valerie just stayed in her current position, saying it was embarrassing and that it was certain that when she raised her head, the other coworkers would stare at her.

What's more, at this hour, they had returned from their lunch.

"Miss, are you listening to me? There's no need to feel embarrassed; I'll settle everything." The hand extended in front of Valerie again before Valerie took it. She had a glimpse of the face of the man in front of her, who looked guilty even though the expensive suit he was wearing also looked dirty.

When Valerie's hand was about to reach out for it, the man who did it was now standing by her side with a cold face. Even his jaw looked hardened as if he were holding back his anger, which was visible in Arthur's hateful gaze at the man in front of him.

"Let me take care of her!" She is my secretary! You have no right to touch her." Arthur gave his half-brother a hateful look that he had to endure every time they met.

"Calm down, honorable Mr. Arthur... You don't need to raise your voice to me; rest assured, I won't take your toys away this time." Marcel smiled faintly and walked away from Arthur towards the company's exit.

Valerie was still confused about what had happened. He didn't know what dimension Arthur had with the man who had bumped into him just now, only that Arthur's hand was now firmly gripping Valerie's wrist.

"Mr. Arthur." Valerie wanted to release his hand from Arthur's grip, but Arthur pulled his hand towards the exclusive elevator just for the CEO. Arthur forced his hand back into the elevator, and the elevator closed that very second.

"Sorry." Valerie could only say sorry; his hand was still trying to escape from Arthur's grip on his side. But what Arthur did instead pushed Valerie's body against the elevator wall. Without warning, Arthur grabbed Valerie's lips and crushed them that very second.

Arthur, who came to his senses, kept hitting Arthur's body to release his lips. All was impossible as Valerie's hands now rested on top of his head, with Arthur's hands gripping him.

Valerie just stood still and let Arthur continue to crush his lips roughly. Should he cry? Of course not! Valerie was not a weak woman, and even though Arthur had stolen her first kiss, she would behave.

Arthur broke the kiss just as the elevator doors opened. Valerie, who was still semi-conscious, just followed Arthur's footsteps, who pulled her hand roughly. When they reached the office, Arthur immediately threw Valerie's hand away. The sensation of pain was already felt in Valerie's hand; he was sure that his hand had turned red and would turn blue the next day.

"I don't like you meeting him!" Arthur continued to advance his footsteps, while Valerie continued to fade his footsteps.

She still did not understand who Arthur was referring to, but Valerie could see the flash of anger clearly in the blue eyes of Arthur, who was currently staring at her.

"I don't know what you mean, sir." Valerie felt even more frightened when his body was stopped by the barrier wall right behind him. Arthur closed his eyes as Arthur hit the wall beside his head.

"Marcel!!! Don't ever see him again. You are mine, Valerie, and I am your only master! Do you understand?" Arthur continued to yell at Valerie, leaving Valerie not knowing what else to do but nod his head.

"I told you to answer me!" Arthur grabbed Valerie's chin with his scarred hand and squeezed the chin so that Valerie would look him in the eye this time.

"You have to be my doll from today on, Valerie... I don't accept any refusals from you! Whether you like it or not! You must serve me as your owner." Valerie's eyes only widened as she had no idea what Arthur was talking about.

Before he could answer, Arthur kissed him forcefully on the lips again, sucking and smacking his lips with tenderness. This time the kiss was different from the one he received a few minutes ago in the elevator.

For a moment, Valerie was lulled by the kiss Arthur gave him. He wanted to reciprocate, but Valerie felt hesitant about it.

"What do you mean, Arthur? Why is it that every time you touch my body, I can't resist?" Arthur continued to speak in his heart; he hated his brain and heart, which innocently accepted Arthur's treatment.

Arthur's hands forcefully pulled Valerie's white shirt, tearing it in half. Arthur's hands had now found the place that had intrigued him all along. Without delay, he squeezed it, still in the red protective barrier.

"Ahh..." Valerie's sigh came out between kisses as Arthur's hand impudently touched her breast.

Arthur broke the kiss. I don't know; he just realized that what he was doing now was too far. He wouldn't touch Valerie any further before she signed the contract for him.

Valerie seemed to lose it when Arthur broke the kiss and just sat there with her face down. Arthur's hands removed his jacket and slipped it over Valerie's body, covering half of Valerie's almost naked body.

"I still have the restriction of not touching your body right now, but you must remember! You are mine, Valerie; no one can touch you but me." Arthur kissed Valerie's forehead and smoothed the hair that fell over Valerie's face.

"Wear one of my shirts from the dressing room. I ruined your shirt because it's not appropriate for you to wear anymore; it's too transparent and cheap! Go change before I change my mind." Arthur just nodded and obeyed Arthur's words as he kept his head down and pulled on the expensive suit that still covered his body.

Arthur walked towards a door that was still in the same room, a room specially designed for Arthur to rest. Not having time to admire how luxurious Arthur's resting room was, Valerie just walked to the glass cabinet in the corner of the room to take one of Arthur's shirts, which would look big when worn by his small body.

"You're my doll."

"You're my doll!" Arthur's words continued to play in Valerie's brain. DS continued to play in Valerie's brain.

"Should I just leave now?" Valerie's lips drew out the words that were in her little mind. Who would want to be a puppet for a man like Arthur? That's what was going through Valerie's mind.
