《Stranger In My Home》Let's commence
Advertisement
It wasn't often that Sungjae made his way to the lower floor in inspection but when he did, he certainly did not come unannounced.
It was fairly surprising and distressing for the finance team to see Sungjae , standing in front of their office with no previous warning asking them to bring out the files reporting all new partnerships and contracts acquired in the past 3 years.
I mean it was normal for a boss to want to check on things especially the financial aspects but in this case Sungjae normally would have asked Caleb to take on the task.
Now it was not a crime to want to know about your company finances, it was not weird to want to change the direction and area of investments . What was weird was the conversation he had with his personal secretary and pa ,Miss Currie.
She was a well-respected woman, with good education and from a remarkable family , she was really befitting for the role; reason why she was one of the people he trusted the most. She had equal trust in her boss and had full intention to devote herself to the company but what he had requested of her had been... unexpected to say the least.
"- Miss Currie" he said, voice flat, eyes boring into her, as he studied her with a stern look.
"-Yes sir " She replied , her composure not faltering
It was unusual for her to be called out in the middle of other this, like this but she was sure that whatever Sungjae had wanted to talk about with her ,she would be able to handle it.
Sungjae looked her up and down.
His trailing on her slim figure particularly on her legs , on the little exposed area of her skin were a long slit ran, showing off her skin coloured thighs.
Sungjae smirked, before standing up.
Just like him, his secretary was on the younger side still in her mid-twenties. Despite her self-restraint and her resilience to become an essential member of the company she was a girl after all, an ambitious one at that.

She did not act impulsively like the rest of the idiotioc women he unfortunately had employed. No, she was sly and calculative, she knew how to adapt just like a chameleon
Sungjae had noticed the subtle changes in her demeanour, she wore more revealing clothes but not revealing enough to tell she was stirring away from their formal attire, She had replaced her round glasses with more suitable contact lenses showing off the beautiful marine eyes that she had. Her skin, previously unobstructed by any artificial chemicals, was now clad in a thin layer of makeup, not enough for you to comment on but enough for it to enhance her features.
Sungjae's tall self-began circling her , he did not actually stare at her, keeping his hands folded behind his back but he did allow himself to brush his shoulders to hers causing the woman to shiver as she felt a buzz of electricity hit her body.
She did not move still, keeping her breathing steady and eyes focused straight.
Sungjae smiled to himself.
Yes, she was definitely going to be useful.
"Miss Currie" he said his voice softening in a suspicious manner
"-How long have you been working under me ?" he asked her directly
Miss Currie or Stephanie if you will, blinked out in surprise, she clearly was not expecting the question, she took a couple seconds deliberating on what direction this conversation was going to go, yet she answered earnestly.
" 3 years and counting sir" she replied shooting a straight answer
Sungjae made a noise of approval ,as if he actually knew how long she had been working there for...
"- 3 years, 3 mighty years. Don't you think?" he said ,this time his voice coming straight to her eyes as his body came closer, he hovered behind for a long minute in which Stephanie had stilled ever form of breathing
"- I...I have been able to work by side thanks to you sir, without your leadership and dedication sir...I probably would have not come so far " she said, this time her voice softened and her eyes actually glanced around the room trying to locate the man in question

'Bingo' he thought as he made his way in front of her, his breath fawning over her face, as he put away a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
Stephanie gasped softly, her eyes searching for a meaning as she stared directly at him. She was a tall girl Afterall.
Sungjae forced the little corner of his mouth upwards, to satisfy the woman in his arms as he softly ran gentle circles on her covered arms.
After a few moments of them staring into each other he scooped her face, tilting her chin upwards as he leaned in his lips barely grazing against her.
Her reaction was immediate , her body jerked forward trying to close what was left of the space between them as whine left her lips.
Sungjae mentally chuckled
He spoke into her lips in a sultry tone
"-Would you do anything for me?"
She groaned, desperate . Needing some form of contact, something to anchor herself with.
"- yes " she said , her voice breathy
"-Anything , anything you want. " Gasping as if she needed air. "-Please come up please just anything... "
"-Good girl," said Sungjae as he chuckled before finally rewarding him by firmly planting his lips against her.
Stephanie was now gone, she clinged to him like her life depended on it, she bit and sucked at his lips wanting to deepen the intimate moment but just as abruptly as all of this started ,it all ended.
Sungjae pulled off, leaving breathless and confused as she blinked trying to regain her hazy view.
Within the time that she had taken to compose herself . He had stridden back to his desk bringing out what seemed like a file and a big red envelope at the same time.
He put in in her hand, his voice going back to plain and unimpressed as he instructed her
"-In here is a list of people" You will contact them and allocate them to all our branches, I want them both in high and lower positions, I need eyes everywhere" he simply stated
Stephanie glanced back at him still confused, her chest as still heaving as she softly panted but her voice remained steady
"- The lower rank positions are easy to fill but the directors and managers…. I can't just dismiss them, not without a reason"
She said warily
Sungjae stared at her with an icy glare
"-I don't care what you do and how you do it. Just get it done" he said
Before turning his back to her
"- You're dismissed" he said heartlessly
Stephanie was still mildly confused as she stared at the envelope but still listened to his command as she started walking towards the exit.
"Ah Miss Currie" he said, making her stop in her track, her heart beating fast at the glimmer of hope
"-remember, everything you want could be given to you if you stay a good girl" he said ,not sparing a glance at her. The statement did not actually make sense.
But somehow Stephanie had grasped the situation, her eyes glimmering with something like determination
She straightened her posture and continued walking her way out, but not before adding a comment
"-your wish is my command sir".
Sungjae's laughter was heard through the halls, as the steady click of her heels dissipated with the distance

Local Minima
[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders. However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.

Tesla Stone and the World of Smoke and Mirrors

Though no one outside of the Pentagon has ever heard of him, he protected his homeland from three ICBMs, a Pacific theatre invasion fleet, and one rogue asteroid. Now, after twenty-seven years of distinguished service from "birth," he is being honorably discharged into civilian life. The only problem is that "civilian life" isn't exactly livable for a glorified brain in a jar. How does a couple pounds of grey matter surrounded by five tons of life support systems and enough co-processing enhancements to take over the planet enjoy an early retirement when he's surrounded by overzealous politicians, corporate spies, and foreign agents after military secrets? The real world isn't that forgiving.
