"Well, this is the second income. Every week they pick up goods from us, especially since sales increased dramatically after being promoted by Bi Company," Lecia said enthusiastically.That night, she and her husband had stopped by to share the success of their company. Even Bastian and Vinna looked envious of their achievements.Across the sofa, Alex and Lucia just listened without saying much. Bachdim himself was already smiling from ear to ear at the thought of more money coming in, although not as much as Lucia was giving him."I'm happy to see your business growing. Bastian has also started to develop a business in fashion, while..." Bachdim paused and deliberately cleared his throat loudly. He looked at Alex openly. "Has there been any improvement in your work?""Dad, he's just a cleaning service. What do you expect? An upgrade to become an employee like Lucia in the dream?" said Bastian in a mocking voice.Everyone burst out laughing, except Alex and Lucia who sighed tiredly. I

"Is it true Alex?" asked John with narrowed eyes. They were quite a distance away from where the billionaires were, and they couldn't just barge forward."Looks like it is," said his father-in-law in an incredulous voice. Since earlier, they had been observing the last guest who arrived with many bodyguards, but it felt almost delusional.They knew that Alex had developed a business, but what was happening now was unacceptable.How could Alex have joined the conglomerate family? What kind of business was he running to become so rich in such a short time?"Dad, I don't believe that Alex is there because of his business at all. He's probably just Mr. Angelo's assistant or bodyguard.""You're right. I don't believe he has that much money either."The two continued to speculate on Alex's whereabouts in the VVIP seats, while the others were busy chatting. Alex tasted the centuries-old white wine brought directly by Angelo, occasionally glancing at the guests who sounded like the buzzing of

"What exactly are they arguing about again? Didn't you guys just get back from a party?"Inside the room, Alex and Lucia lay on the bed after turning on the heat. Lucia lay on her side facing her husband and asked him what was on his mind. They mentioned something about Bi's company and he didn't understand."They accused me of being a liar. So at the party..." Alex took a breath and looked at his wife. He knew Lucia would accept everything, but she might be angry that Alex had been hiding his identity. "At the party we went to, I revealed my identity as the owner of the Bi company. And... they thought it was all a lie.""Wh-what..." Lucia paused trying to digest what Alex had said. Then as if she just realized what her husband was talking about, her eyes widened and her mouth opened. Lucia was frozen like a statue for a long time."Did you just say... you own Bi's company?" Lucia's voice was barely audible at the end of the sentence.Alex nodded in response.Lucia fell silent again

The news on the media sites had settled down a bit after a week, so Alex decided to come to Bi Company today.He and Lucia still used the bus as transportation to the office, although Alex could have used his Lamborghini or his new car. Even hired a driver to take him back and forth to wherever he wanted to go.It was just that Alex still wanted to see how the Verg family would deny it. They kept accusing him of being a fraud, so he wanted to see how they would respond now."Now that your status has been revealed, are you still going to work as a cleaning service?" Lucia leaned her head against Alex's shoulder as she asked in a low voice.Their faces were partially covered by the thick scarves around their necks. The bus wasn't crowded, but Lucia suggested that they stay out of the public eye for a while.Alex agreed, especially since journalists were aggressively hunting for the latest news regarding Bi Company. While his face would be exposed, fortunately his wife and son's faces wo

"You know what? Dozens of employees at Bi Company were fired suddenly this morning. And I heard stories that Alex was in the middle of them with Missi! Anyway, there are many rumors that Alex is the real owner of Bi Company!" Maria explained in one breath. Without realizing it, Maria stood up because she was so upset. The facts on display felt like an illusion that had to be believed.Tonight, after the meal, the Sans family gathered in the living room for a discussion. The gray squirrel who was collecting nuts watched them from the window.Maria sat back on the carpet with a deep sigh. Their expensive sofa had been sold to buy some trendy clothes. The family couldn't afford to be left out, or people would start to suspect their crumbling economy.Her in-laws seemed to be in deep thought at Maria's explanation, as did John and Jasmine."I think it's just a rumor. Logically, if Alex is the owner of Bi and fired the employee he hates, shouldn't you be fired too, Maria?" her mother-in-l
