Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law Chapter 55

''I heard the director is also known for having crazy ideas and he doesn't intend to use stunts. Can you put your body through the ordeal?''
''I've been going for training and I'm confident in myself''
''Assistant He, hand her the contract'' Mikael said and Lin Yan released a breath she didn't know she was holding.
''Miss, here is the contract. You can read through and sign here''
''I don't need to read through. Sun Group is known for its transparency'' Lin Yan said and quickly took the pen to sign. When she was done, she handed the contract back and smiled.
''Welcome on board as part of the family, Miss Lin'' Mikael said and shook her hand.
''Thank you for your time, Mr. Sun'' Lin Yan smiled as she looked at him.
''We shall take our leave now. Lin Yan, let's go'' Luis who had been quiet finally spoke but he didn't look happy at all. He picked up his suitcase and walked out with Lin Yan''
Assistant He couldn't keep his calm anymore and started laughing. He looked at Mikael and said, ''Mr. Sun. if they get to the agency and realise that the contract was only valid on condition that they release Alice, won't they go crazy? Luis is hates Alice but he doesn't want to let her go because he wants to keep sabotaging her. he is going to go crazy''
''That's why he shouldn't try to play smart with me? he has the guts to sabotage my sister in law?''
When they arrived at the company, Lin Yan entered the office and threw her purse on the couch angrily and turned to speak to Luis as he went to sit on his desk.
''That bitch must have seduced him during the time of the shooting of the drama. I almost lost my gig thanks to her''
''Calm down, Lin Yan'' Luis was in deep thoughts. Even though this was the first time he was meeting Mikael Sun, he had heard a lot of things about him. he was doubtful about the contract Lin Yan had signed.
''Luis, I felt so humiliated by Mikael today. In fact, he is the first man to even talk to me in that manner. In what way am I inferior to Alice? I have a fair skin and I am beautiful''
''Lin Yan, sit down first. I have a plan. You will be able to get your revenge on Alice soon''

''What plan?'' Lin Yan sat on the couch and looked at Luis curiously.
''I won't hand over the termination papers Alice asked for again''
''How? Didn't you terminate her contract already?''
''I did, but the papers are still with me. She hasn't signed yet which makes her an artiste in Empire''
''Are you thinking of…'' Lin Yan didn't need to continue because they understood each other clearly.
''Let's do what we did to Chou that year'' Lin Yan smiled wryly and got up from the couch. She walked lustfully to Luis and pulled him by the tie closer to herself and kissed him.
''Luis, this is why I just love you''
''Show me how much you love me'' he said suggestively and Lin Yan went down in front of him. she took his belt in her hands and smiled as she took it off.
''Did you lock the door'' she asked.
''Of course''
That Night.
The Men.
Alice arrived at the 'Men' but she didn't have the guts to go inside so she walked to and fro the corridor while murmuring to herself.
''What should I say? Should I just pretend I don't remember anything? No way, he would certainly think I'm a tease. Why did you even do that, Alice? Don't you have self-dignity? You are not an ordinary person; why did you drink yourself to waste because of those idiots?
Inside the bar, Josh poured different liquor into a glass to make a cocktail while looking at Alice through the CCTV in front of the counter by his side. He smiled and looked at her as she walked around the corridor speaking to herself.
Alice looked at her phone, 'should I call Mikael to come and help me make it less awkward?'' she heard footsteps and a chuckle behind her and turned to see Mikael.
''Mikael, you are here'' Alice looked at him as her last saving grace.
''What are you doing there?''
''Brother in law, I have never been happy to see you more than this moment in my life. You are my saving grace''
'I'm not happy to see you'' Mikael said and frowned.
''I don't care about what you feel, now. I need your help and you are going to help me'' Alice jumped up and clung unto him.
''Hey, what are you doing? Do you want a scandal featuring you and me the next day? Let go of me'' Mikael pushed her aside.

Alice straightened herself. ''You know; my behaviour wasn't exactly good last night''
''Oh, so, you are here to apologise?'' Mikael smirked.
''Apologise for what? I didn't do anything wrong'' Alice said and when Mikael looked at her questionably, she changed her statement. ''Okay, I did everything bad, but, I can't go inside alone. Let's go in together''
''Okay, let's go'' Mikael turned to go in and saw her still standing at the back. ''Not coming?''
''Coming, coming''
Alice hid behind Mikael as soon as they got inside to the counter. She followed him, tugging his shirt behind as and he shook his head and asked her.
''Are you going to hide behind me forever?''
Alice glared at his back and stepped forward. She smiled awkwardly when she saw Josh smiling at her. He passed her a cocktail on the counter saying.
''This is a new cocktail I made just for you. Has little alcohol''
Alice blushed and sat on the chair at the counter and replied. ''I don't accept drinks from strangers but since you are giving it, I will not reject it'' Alice tugged her hair behind elegantly and picked the cocktail, ready to sip. Her 360-degree change made Mikael to laugh.
Josh smiled and watched her sip the cocktail before he said to her. ''Am I really a stranger? You asked me to be your boy toy last night''
Alice choked and coughed out the cocktail straight at his face. She flushed and her face turned red. When she looked up and saw his face splatted with the cocktail, she covered her mouth.
Josh smiled and picked a few tissue from the side. He wiped his face and looked at Alice.
''You are one kind of a woman'' he said and Mikael chirped in.
''I agree to that 100%''
Alice glared at Mikael and turned to Josh. ''Listen, I hope you don't misunderstand me because of last night. Whatever happened was the alcohol talking''
Josh poured a glass of whiskey for Mikael and turned back to Alice. ''Then, what do I do now? Today is my last day here. I turned in my resignation letter this morning and tonight is my last time of working here. You promised to take care of me.
Alice coughed again and Josh opened a bottle of water for her. She quickly took it and sipped before looking at Josh ridiculously.
''You're not serious, are you?'' she asked him.
''I'm bad at jokes so no, I am serious'' Josh replied.
''What? Hey, are you crazy?'' Alice screamed and closed her mouth saying softly, ''why would you do such a crazy thing?''
''I would be crazy if I refused your offer, Miss Jun. You said I could rely on my face and body to make a living. I just have to make you happy in every way and I am confident I can satisfy you in even ways you can't imagine''
Alice's face became red as she looked at him. she waved her hands and sipped the water again before speaking.
''Listen, I am just going to pretend all this never happened. We are both adults and since you're a bartender, you understand how a lot of alcohol can make one speak and act. Right?''
''Right'' Josh nodded his head and Mikael sipped his drink and smiled as he listened to them.
''Then, I don't need to say a lot of words for you to understand, right?''
''Right'' Josh kept nodding his head as he leaned closer to look at her. He was enjoying teasing her even more than he thought.
''So, what I'm trying to say is this. Forget what happened yesterday, forget that I came here, forget that I spoke some nonsense and misled you. if you want, I can talk to your boss and let him reinstate you back here and everything will be back to normal. As you know, I am an actress and I have to be careful about my image. If news of what happened goes out, I could sue this place and your boss could get angry with you. So, what I'm saying is this. Let's help each other. Can you clear the CCTV recording of what happened here? I promise to put in a good word for you to your boss. I know your boss very well. He is JSC, he sponsors all my clothes. When I tell him to let you off, he will. Guess what, I heard he has a crush on me but I don't date old men, so he is not my type. I can't date an old man whose son is probably older than me, right?''

Mortis Operandi 2 - Hostile Takeover
Author note: First, thank you for reading. Now that book 2 is done and after a month of it sitting here I've moved it to Amazon. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07X12GZMZ the first book Mortis Operandi - New Hire can be located on Amazon ----> https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Currently it is on Kindle Unlimited as well. Enjoy. Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. The sudden exit of Mortis Operandi's CEO, the company was facing ruin. The goblin Eft was choosen as the new CEO and boss. The previous CEO made promises and contracts that Eft now has to fulfill, and it is causing a lot of trouble.

Along with facing corporate invasion, Eft must take on the tasks he wouldn't wish upon his worst foe, Customer Service. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

A hundred years later a person known as Terax stood beside the bed of his dying father. He gave Terax a golden pendant and told him that, "You must head for the dungeon, because..."

8 117Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
