The Bride of Destiny

Patcha took a deep breath, her hand gripping the pencil, hesitating whether to stab
the man who was behaving inappropriately towards her. It was always like this. Last time, her boss
harassed her, forcing her to smash a plant pot on his car and quit. This time, her boss
was a woman, but she had to deal with a coworker again… Wearing short skirts doesn’t mean you’re easy…
When will men ever understand?!
“Yes,”
she answered curtly, then lowered her head and continued working, secretly tracing the tip of the pencil
on her sketch… Not sharp, not too sharp. Don’t, Peach, don’t… Work is hard to find.
“Your hair smells so good, did you just wash it?”
The emboldened man leaned his face close to her long, shoulder-length hair, inhaling the fragrance.
Patcha closed her eyes, counting to five, planning to confront him when she reached it. This was the first time Nukool had been so forward since she started working there. She hoped her boss,
Krima, who was also a woman, would understand.
But before she could count to two, she heard
the sound of heavy footsteps approaching, the sound of a chair being knocked over, and
Nukool’s loud cry
, “Whoa!”
“My woman!”
a voice boomed from the man who rushed into the room, sweeping a
large chair away before grabbing the collar of a smaller, thinner man
and pulling him close, his voice stern,
“Don’t you dare touch her if you don’t want to die.”
Nukool gasped, staring at the foreigner who spoke to him, his eyes flashing with a fierce, golden
-brown intensity. Phatcha jumped up in shock,
“Ethan!”
“You remember? Your fiancé?”
Ethan asked the woman standing behind him, stunned and bewildered. Behind him, by the door,
stood Arunee, mouth agape and face pale. She had brought this incredibly handsome,
model-like man in after seeing him get out of
a black luxury car and ask about the company’s new interior designer.
Arunee hadn’t expected this seemingly godlike man to let out
such a roaring sound. Then, the moment she saw
the situation he was in with Patcha, she lunged forward and grabbed Nukool by the neck.
