Johanna woke up when her alarm rang. But it's still early. She thought about the traffic and she didn't want to be late for her work. The man just did it two times with her and he's sleeping peacefully beside her. She looked at the clock. He didn't get much sleep than her. She tapped him.

"I will use one of your cars." She told him but he didn't even respond.

She went to the bathroom and washed. She couldn't do it after sex since she fell asleep after. Damn, she should wash after every sex although he was using a condom. She prepared her bath and then went downstairs to have something warm. She smiled at the coffee maker from Korea, it is called Capsule Coffee Machine. She could choose from the different types of varieties of coffee or tea. Now, she's up for some hot milk tea so she settled it and waited for it.

"Well," She looked around and clicked her tongue. "Conrad had lots of expensive shits here." She mumbled with her arms crossed. "Instant coffee maker and~~just lots of things."

She noticed that the kitchen has complete sets of things like a chef would have. For baking, and for doing some different cuisines. She's not good at cooking but she learned it from her mom. She didn't remember much of her childhood from the age of one to the age that she was adopted by Del Carlo. She used the same name as them after she was adopted legally. But there were vivid memories as her parents started packing and they left her to the neighbor. Then, after that, they were said to be dead in a car crash.

She took her mug and smelled it. It's nice and good. Then, she tasted it and smiled.

"Good." She mumbled. "Now, what that ass wants to drink?"

She checked the instant small cups that would be put on the capsule and then chose the espresso. She put another mug and waited for it. Once that it's done, she went upstairs and put it on the bedside of Conrad's corner. She pulled the sheet and stared at the beautifully sculpted body. He worked out a lot and it's not a surprise anymore. She smacked his butt cheek hard.

"Wake up, sleepyhead. I have to know the car I should use." She went to the bathroom and checked the temperature. Then, she went back and finished her drink. The man only stretched and went back to sleep. She will have a nice bath under the shower.

After her nice bath, she wrings her hair with the towel and goes to the walk-in closet. She was surprised by the signature bags and noticed an expensive brand. What the hell?! She checked the clothes and smelled them. It's probably fresh from the laundry and there's the steam handy flat iron nearby too. He must have settled it. She went out and found him sipping on his coffee.

"Surprise!" he grinned. Instead of smiling and thanking him, she frowned and glared at his excited lower part. But she pointed to the wardrobe and scowled at him.

"I am not using any of those shits!" She exclaimed at him. His erection dies and he feels like he's been wrong.

"Why not?"

"Why did you buy such things?" She asked, sounding angry.

"Because I want to." He put away the coffee, slipped off from the bed, and approached her.

"I don't understand why you took me here. I don't understand why you have such a high-security house and I don't understand why you buy lots of things that I don't need."

"I want to pamper you," Conrad answered straightforwardly.

She stared at him. This is the first time that she saw her angry. What's wrong with the expensive clothes that he bought? Can't she just wear it?

"I was your reason too, on why you quit EPUA. I don't want to be a reason, Conrad!"

"It's to protect you."

"Yeah," She scoffed. "That's your reason too."

"Why can't you just accept it and be happy?"

She creased her brows as her eyes started getting red, her face flushed in anger too.

"How can I be happy when I cause a burden to someone? Do you think it's easy to accept these expensive things that you bought? Well, some women can be happy with that. But I can't." She shook her head.

"Jo," he said softly. "Can you be a little dependent?" He asked. He reached her hands. "Look, I resign from EPUA because I want to get involved with you, which is what I want. I resigned from EPUA to work along with your brother."

"What?" She frowned.

"It's" He didn't want to say it, and he scooped her face. "Darling, it's not entirely because of you. It's because of me. My decisions. I want to get more and more involved with you. Let me. I will protect you."

Johanna didn't want it to be like this, but the time that he kissed her, smelling and tasting like espresso, she got drowned and he took her to the closet, pinned her on the wall, and touched her. He knelt in front of her and opened her robe. Then, he lifted her leg to his shoulder and pleased her.

Keira was squealing as the package arrived and was picked up by Vanessa. Johanna was confused. They should have a meeting right now but there's a package that she seemed to be expecting. When Keira received it, she entered Johanna's office where Conrad was napping on the sofa. She followed her and Keira closed the blinds and Conrad looked at Keira.

"Open it!" She said excitedly. "This is my gift for the two of you, for your new house."

"The house isn't mine," Johanna said.

"Uh, just open it. It's for the two of you." Keira insisted.

Johanna took the cutter and opened the box. It had shredded papers on top and the sides and she took out the boxes and frowned. She stared at the vibrating dildo.

"Nice." She said, "I could have all of this and get rid of Conrad."

Keira's smile faded as she looked at Conrad who frowned at her words.

"Just what I need." She lifted the box of vibrating wands. "And I need this horny rabbit." She added. "Cock rings?" She put it back on the box. "That's for Conrad and self-jerking."

"Why are you using so many vulgar words today?" Conrad complained.

"I don't need some butt plugs. It's for Conrad. I'm taking the things that I need." She told Keira as she put it all back. "For now, let's go to the conference room. It's time to work, not to play." She even lectured Keira as Keira sighed and pouted.

"Oh, come on! It's supposed to spice up your relationship."

"There's no relationship to be spiced up and we aren't together. We are just doing it. Also, he's a horny companion and he needs a vibrator more than I do."

"Oh, come on! You are horny too." Conrad exclaimed.

"You know what?" Johanna gave the box to him. "Make sure that each of them is working. We are off to the conference room."

Conrad pouted at the box as Johanna pulled Keira on the door.

"Stop being childish and let's get to work, okay?"

Keira nodded submissively. It felt more like Johanna was the big boss. Well, she controls everything mostly for the good. She can't do it all without Johanna. When they reached the conference room, they started quickly with their monthly presentations with the ratings. Somehow, it dropped a little when Louise Madison had a scandal with her husband. Then, to Louise Madison's death and all. However, there's also a celebrity that could save face. Arianna Rosales now, Arianna Masen, Travis's wife. They already started recording and releasing the single.

Arianna's single boomed the social media and it's one of the topmost listened songs in few music apps. They launched her signing just last week, and their ratings rose, including with the new release from Keira's composition that was sung by Vincent and other top ten finalists in the show. Somehow, their lines were up and down and up and up and a little down and up again.

"This is not bad at all," Keira said and crossed her arms. "Let's focus on sending off our new stars to their resources."

"Also, Madam, we just received a notification from the Lawson Empire about the brand. They want Arianna and Vincent." Albert, the PR director said.

Keira proposed it and somehow, Gabriel Lawson seemed to accept it.

"They want a musical concept, too."

Keira smiled, with a little lopsided and she clapped her hands.

"Is this the person that the Lawson Empire wants to collaborate with?" She asked Johanna.

"Yes, ma'am." Johanna smiled as Keira nodded to approve it.

"Then, as expected from De Alegre, they wanted to ask for a new advertisement plan for the fitness drinks."

"Well, send out our sexiest artists." The advertisement director suggested.

She leaned on the seat as she bit her lips. She noticed that they have chubby celebrities who were on a diet.

"Wait, I think we should think this through too. I have a plan." She told them. "Our overweight or little chubby artists who want to go on a diet should participate with this plan. It'll be a loose weight contest too and we'll use the product on their diet to show the efficacy."

Johanna nodded her head as the directors nodded.

"Then, madam," The director of finance raised his hand. "Can I also participate in this?"

She grinned and nodded.

"I'll speak to President De Alegre to have a show for this, anyone can participate!"

Every one started murmuring.

"Also, we will hire our staff's fitness trainer for it." She had crazy ideas now and she'll have it for the sake of the company and her husband's company.
