HOT TEMPTATION

'Why do you keep coming to bother me? Don't you know that your arrival will make my husband angry because he is jealous?' Karin's mother exclaimed at the man with slightly shabby clothes and an appearance that looked like he had not slept well and was unkempt, but this did not take away from the good looks on her face.

"I love you and I want to take you and our child away from that rude man," said the man.

Suddenly Karin saw her stepfather walking closer to her. Karin could smell the strong aroma of alcohol coming from his body.

'You have to pay for the betrayal your mother has committed against me!' Karin's stepfather's hand shot up to deliver a slap, as usual, to Karin's face and thin body.

Karin jolted awake from her sleep, with cold sweat dripping down her face and back, she felt that the dream was so real. 'Oh Lord! Why does that dream come back? Why do faces from my past always appear? What does all this mean?' Karin thought.

Karin woke up from her sleep, then sat on the bench next to the bedroom window, thinking about the meaning of her dream.

Karin didn't realize that she had fallen asleep while sitting up. Until the alarm sound on her cell phone rang, it startled her. Karin hurriedly got up from her seat and walked to the bathroom.

She was too excited about the interview she was going to have today. There are high hopes for what she wants from her interview later. 'I have to get that job because this could be the answer to my problems all this time,' Karin muttered to herself.

A few minutes later Karin was outside her apartment building. She walked towards the bus stop, which would take her to the company where she was interviewing. And she almost missed the bus. Luckily, she arrived just as the bus was about to leave.

Arriving at the Atmaja Corp company. Karin walked into the magnificent building, feeling nervous and with cold sweaty hands.

According to the information she received, she will undergo a direct interview with the head of the company. Sitting in front of a room with walls painted white, the feeling of nervousness became even more pronounced.

Karin had just arrived at the door, which was promised to be the place where she would conduct the interview, as secretary to the head of the company.

A voice was heard saying her name and inviting her to enter the room, the door of which was tightly closed.

"Miss Karin Arvantie?" called a woman wearing a professional suit. A dirty expression appeared on her face, making Karin's heart beat fast when she was called. "It's your turn! How come, you will apply to be a secretary, while your appearance..." She said when she saw Karin's unkempt appearance.

Karin stood up from her chair and stepped into the room. Beads of sweat adorned Karin's forehead, clearly showing her nervousness about facing the job interview that soon awaited her. This was Karin's first experience undergoing a job interview.

Ignoring the woman's disapproving gaze, she would avoid the woman with the dirty expression on her face, which clearly showed an aura of dislike towards her. She knocked on the tightly closed door in front of her and after being invited in she opened the door.

Karin felt her back feel like it was burning. And she felt that it was certain because the woman had called her. She didn't know the reason why she didn't like her.

When she entered the room, Karin's gaze fell on a man sitting in front of a table with paper covering his face. The man's black hair was pulled back, looking very neat. His body, which was clad in a white shirt, still looked sturdy in Karin's eyes, especially because the sleeves of the shirt were rolled up to his elbows. With the top two buttons of his shirt open and showing a little hair on his chest.
