IF THE employees were smiling at Damian earlier, now, they looked like they saw walking trash. Some of them went back to their seats like they didn’t see anyone, while some employees even dared to gossip with Damian around.“Tch. Who does he think he is? Does he think we will submit to him just because he is a manager?”“Manager my ass. I’m sure that Sir Veron is just overestimating his skills. He doesn’t deserve to be a manager in the first place.”“You are right, girl. I don’t care how handsome and popular he is. If he dares to do something that will ruin our operation here, I will immediately report him to the higher-ups!”Those three young employees walked past Damian, but instead of stopping their gossip, they continued talking with louder voices this time like they didn’t care about Damian. At all.‘How rude,’ said Damian at the back of his mind, shaking his head in disappointment. ‘I thought the employees here were friendlier than employees at the Mid-Century Elegance Events si

“HOW LONG will I stay away? Until the day I die?” Dollie asked, her voice laced with anger and frustration. “I always avoided them and maintained a safe distance because I was afraid. It took me a long time to realize that the cycle repeats because I’m not doing anything about it.”Dollie breathed heavily and closed her eyes, remembering all the insults she received from her family before.“I’m done running. It is time for me to face my fears, and you are the one who motivated me to do this,” added Dollie. “I’m not asking for any help. I’m just asking you to support me so that I can be strong like you, too.”Damian was stunned, not expecting Dollie to look up to him like that. He smiled, knowing that despite her age, Dollie was now capable of making decisions on her own.“Alright. But be careful,” replied Damian. “If something happens, call me. If a life-threatening situation happens, don’t hesitate to turn back and run. Your life is worth more than anything in this world.”“Yes. Of c

“HELLO, MASTER? Young master Damian accepted the project,” Poppy reported with a smile on her face. “Thank you for permitting me to let Damian handle the project. This project will be overwhelming at some point, but I believe this will push him out of his comfort zone.”“I understand, and I trust your vision. Just make sure to help him once he has a hard time,” Veron replied, his tone authoritative. “Yes, young master.”Veron ended the call and leaned on his chair. The new project Damian needed to handle wasn’t a part of his plan, but it helped Veron to distract Damian from the dangerous thing he was doing—Finding a person he should never have been involved with in the first place.“Focus on your work, son, and leave everything dangerous to me,” Veron muttered, his gaze fixated on the wall. “I never thought that they would go outside Russia and transfer here.”The Ferremento family just doesn’t have a huge conglomerate, but they also had one of the influential mafia as well. With that

DAMIAN WAS usually calm and composed. No matter how much he was being mocked and ridiculed by the people around him, he never faltered.But now, it is different.“Fucking bastard,” Damian muttered as he forcefully sat in his cubicle, placing his cheeks onto his palms. “That person shouldn’t be a manager in the first place. He is a bastard for giving a shitty suggestion like that.”When he was a teenager, Damian had worked in different industries just to sustain their expenses. It was the hardest thing he experienced, and he didn’t want other people to face the same fate.“Is there any problem, Sir Damian?” asked Lily in a worried tone, seeing how frustrated Damian was. “Did something happen in your appointment with Sir Julian?”“Nothing.” Damian shook his head.“That is a lie, isn’t it?” Lily sighed, her gaze fixated on Damian. “It isn’t hidden to everyone here how vicious Sir Julian is, especially when it comes to work that involves the manufacturing department. It will be better if

HOLDING a raw egg in their hands, which they took from the basket, Abigail and the other employees threw the eggs in Damian's direction simultaneously, which shocked Damian.“You are acting like you know our pain even if you don’t! What a worthless manager you are!” one of them shouted as she threw a raw egg on Damian’s face. “Get lost!”The eggshell broke in Damian’s forehead, causing it to scatter on his face, down to his neck. Damian looked like a mess, yet he couldn’t find anywhere to run. He was surrounded by the employees, ensuring that he wouldn’t be able to escape.“Shit! Stop it!” exclaimed Gabriel in a frustrated tone as he went to Abigail, who was now in the corner after throwing an egg, being a spectator. “What are you doing, Abigail?!”Her brows furrowed. “Why? You told me that I can do and ask anything once the presentation ends!” “But I didn’t mean that you can disrespect our manager like this!” Gabriel retorted, his voice laced with frustration.“Disrespect?” Abigail
