Hearing Marco's answer, Lily, Otto's wife, snorted quite loudly. She rolled her eyeballs and responded with a very sarcastic remark, "Ah, just that much? It's so small." Actually, Lily thought that Marco owed her husband a large debt. But, when she heard it was only a hundred and fifty dollars, she could only snort again. Even so, she tried to think happily because if Marco returned twice as much, she would receive three hundred dollars.Even though Marco was here for a good cause, Lily still couldn't look at him kindly. She was still frowning and scowling, not wanting to be nicer to her husband's guest.Otto smiled a little. The man with cropped hair and a thin mustache under his nose cleared his throat, "Marco, let's go in first. We can talk inside." He was such a different person from his cynical wife. Otto would always treat his guests with kindness and hospitality.Hearing Otto inviting Marco to come in, Lily immediately blocked him by spreading her hands, "No! No, you can talk o

Twenty-four hours have passed. The sun had risen, and it was now two o'clock in the afternoon. The time when the workers were taking their lunch break. And just then, Marco's cell phone rang. Otto's name flashed on the screen, and Marco immediately answered the call, "Yes, Otto."A faint rustling sound heard, Otto seemed to be walking somewhere and crossed paths with several people the man knew. There were sounds of greetings and small laughter, until then it was silent, because Otto had reached a quieter place. Otto cleared his throat, "Marco, I've entered my new workplace."The man was silent for a while but took a deep breath and said, "Thank you so much for helping me get this job. Now, I can work in a much quieter place and not full of fraud like the old one."Marco listened quietly. He nodded with his hands still busy checking some work in front of his laptop, "No problem, you deserve it." Even so, Marco did not lose concentration with what he was doing now. On the other side,

Norman had contacted a man who was one of the house sellers in the area he wanted. With a bright face and a confident expression, he met Ben in a small office devoted to marketing the elite housing estate. Now, all three of them sat quietly on chairs.Norman smiled broadly, "We've already talked about this. I'll buy a unit for five million dollars like you said last time. And I'm sure you won't forget to keep one for me."Marco listened to Norman's words, which sounded so confident. The man looked so happy and occasionally glanced at Marco mockingly. Five million dollars was an extraordinary sum. And Norman was sure that the now silent Marco must be guessing how high the pile of dollars would be if carried in cash.But Norman's guess was wrong. Because now, Marco folded his legs and said to himself, "Isn't five million dollars the cheapest house?" The tone was very casual, but it ignited the anger in Norman's short-tempered chest.Norman glared, "How arrogant! You can't even afford a

Norman had no self-respect left. As soon as he finished, he walked out of the office door without a word. His steps were so fast that he seemed to be in a hurry. He didn't even care if he accidentally bumped into a man passing by on the side of the road. Without apologizing, he looked for his car and got in by slamming the door. Shame had made her lose his self-esteem until there was nothing left on her face now.His face was hardened, jaws clenched tightly together, and eyebrows knitted together. Norman quickly pulled the brake lever before stepping on the gas pedal. Norman didn't care anymore. He was driving at high speed. The image of how he had to lick Marco's shoes was still vivid in his mind. He could not forgive this. With clenched fists, Norman hit the steering wheel and honked repeatedly to release his anger, "Arrgh! It's all because of Marco!"Norman's hand immediately reached for the cell phone that had been in his pants pocket. With a stiff, unfriendly face, he dialed one

"Are you okay, dear?" the woman squealed frantically. She immediately crouched down, checking on Levin, still sitting on the floor soaked in juice. The woman's shrill voice attracted the guests' attention, causing a commotion. People began to wonder what was happening and walked over, peeking to see if anything bad was happening there.One of the guests who had just arrived immediately approached and peeked out from behind the back of a man who was taller than him. The bikini-clad woman in yellow lace asked, "What's going on? Why is there a commotion?"The man she asked immediately turned his head and pointed at Levin, who was on the floor. The man replied, "he got juice on his face. But I don't know what happened either. I had just finished swimming when the woman over there screamed."People gathered around and wondered what was going on. The woman who came with Levin was named Michaela. She was the older man's girlfriend. At this moment, she was feeling furious towards Marco. So, s
