Chapter 11 Nothing Personal, Just Business
Mark was about to continue walking when he thought better of what to do.Miss Vasconcelos would probably be busy with Manager Curtis now, so he could stop by the office later.So, he decided to go first to the janitors' room to gather his things before resigning.As he spun on his heels, he realized with exasperation that Mary Ellen was still at the door of her office."Forget it.""Forget what?" Mark frowned."Her. Forget her. She's not for you." Mary Ellen grinned wickedly."Don't you have anything better to do, Mary Ellen?" Mark crossed his arms.He swore that Mary Ellen would be the first on the list to be fired!"Well, since you did me the favor of making me lose my day's pay, I have no motivation to work anymore." Mary Ellen mocked."So get ready to clean, mop floors, disinfect sinks, and unclog toilets." Mark shook his head."Why? You won't be around anymore to do that charity work for us?" Mary Ellen chuckled strangely, as if she suffered from bronchitis, "You really believed

Chapter 12 An Unusual Rescue
When Mark burst into Anthony's office, he got a better view of the situation.Anthony was about to grab Briana in his arms. Briana was semi-conscious, with a red face. Her arms were flailing, trying to push away from the perverted manager.Near her, on the floor, was a smashed coffee cup."Is this the kind of collaboration you want, Mr. Curtis?""MARK?" Anthony's eyes widened as he realized who had burst into his office, "What do you think you're doing? Get out of here immediately!"Mark clenched his fists in anger. Did the general manager really think he would just leave and abandon a defenseless lady?What kind of man would he be?Boldly and irritated, Mark approached in three steps, "Let her go!"With a precise punch, Mark hit Anthony, throwing him away from Briana.The punch was so strong and unexpected that Anthony fell on the coffee table. The impact made him faint instantly.If the coffee table had been glass, the result might have been more disastrous...But Mark had no intent

Chapter 13 Marry Me
Mark came to think that he deserved the prize for both the unluckiest and luckiest person in the world.OK, Mark didn't consider 'unlucky' to have met a beautiful woman like Briana Vasconcelos.The big problem, in his view, was the completely unexpected situation in which he found himself with the same Briana!Everything seemed to conspire for Mark not to escape from his predicament, starting with the same Briana who locked the car with a technology unknown to him.Then, it seemed that the drug had given Briana some strength from beyond to subdue a man.As Mark had noted before, the car was parked in a spot away from the other cars.Also, the employees usually have lunch at a nearby restaurant and walk there, so no one would enter the parking lot and find one of the cars in this unexpected situation.Mark almost strangled himself struggling to prevent Briana from taking off his shirt, but, with no way out, he no longer stopped her and resigned himself.He convinced himself that Briana

Chapter 14 A New Spirit
Mark and Briana walked out of the registry office.For both of them, the feeling of being married gave them an extra dose of confidence in what to do.Mark looked at his new wife and felt that she had a different sparkle in her eyes.As they walked towards her car, he asked, "What's the matter, Briana?"Mark wondered if it would be too bold to call her by affectionate names, but at least he wouldn't call her formally."I can't explain, Mark," Briana replied, "But I feel that signing that certificate gave me a boost for what lies ahead.""Do I not repulse you?" Mark asked, thinking of the countless times Celia had told him that.Briana stopped next to her car's driver and shook her head. "Why would I? I might not know you deeply, Mark, but I'm sure you're not of the same kind as those who drugged me."Mark smiled contentedly to hear that.He felt that, if his marriage wasn't perfect as it usually is in fairy tales, at least with Briana, it wouldn't be a repetition of what it was with C

Chapter 15 It's a Shame, But I Will Have to Fire You
Anthony Curtis was shocked to hear the door of his office being slammed open.When he saw who it was, his face immediately turned red with anger."MARK FERRO! What does this mean?""Did you call me, Manager Curtis?"Anthony was taken aback by Mark's sarcastic tone and attacked with words, "What is a mere employee, of the lowest rank, doing with such an arrogant attitude?""Manager Curtis, my time is precious," Mark replied, leaving the door open, "Let's address what happened."Anthony was a bit confused, but continued to speak angrily, "Yes, let's talk about what happened! How dare you barge into my office and take Miss Vasconcelos, one of our most esteemed collaborators?"Where did you take her? We have CCTV footage showing you taking her by the arm to I don't know where!"You better tell me now what you did with her or where she is, or I'll fire you and report you to the police for kidnapping Miss Vasconcelos!"Mark was not shaken by the words.He shook his head slowly, feeling disg

Chapter 16 Interim Manager
Anthony Curtis was catatonic for a few seconds. He couldn't believe what his ears had just heard.Him, fired?He was about to fire the troublemaker janitor!How is that possible? What did he do wrong?Anthony shook his head and questioned, "Gene, today is not April Fool's Day. Stop with the prank!"Gene rolled his eyes and signaled to someone, "Manager Curtis, this is not a joke. We received strict orders for your position to be terminated today.""Gene, I demand that you give me an explanation—"Anthony was even more shocked to realize that Gene had hung up on him.João, Mary Ellen, and the other employees were in shock, not knowing what to say. Did they hear correctly?"Manager Curtis, why are you reacting as if YOU were the one being fired?""Didn't you explain to HR that it's janitor Mark who has made our company an impossible place to work?" João asks scandalously, entering the office.Mark, glancing disdainfully, warned João, "Careful, idiot. You never know when HR is in a bad m

Chapter 17 Meeting Her Family
Mark was smiling at the entrance of Glamour, waiting for Briana to take him to her family's house.Some employees, like Mary Ellen, kept their distance from Mark, with an inexplicable fear.Suddenly, Briana's luxurious car stopped and Mark quickly got in."Mark, why are you smiling?""Let's just say things are falling into place," Mark replied, fastening his seatbelt."OK. Now we need to introduce you to my family," Briana replied and added, "Are you okay with that?""I'm fine." Mark turned to her with a reassuring smile."I know it seems sudden." Briana thought it would be good to explain, "But there's a banquet happening today and I need to attend."So I thought it would be a great opportunity to introduce you to them as my husband."Mark needed no motivation for this."Understood. I just need to go to my apartment to dress up.""Yes, I understand. Let's go then." Briana smiled in relief, "Thank you so much, Mark."Mark nodded, and Briana headed to his old apartment.'Briana, you wi

Chapter 18 Family Reception
Mark continued to observe the scene unfolding in the dining room of the Vasconcelos mansion.He had expected a harmonious banquet with decent people, just like Briana was.After all, if Briana was a good girl, it must have been due to the upbringing her family had given her, right?But with their reaction to the marriage, Mark changed his mind.What he had said about Briana needing to get married after being drugged and having relations with him had proven true once again.If Briana were to say that she had lost her virginity without Mark by her side, she would be torn apart by her family!But it seems that Briana is receiving the same treatment even after introducing her husband to them."I'm waiting, Briana!" her grandmother impatiently shouted, "Who is this young man?""His name is Mark Ferro," Briana respectfully replied, although inside she was outraged."I've never heard of him, so just stating his name is unnecessary!" her grandmother replied arrogantly, "What does he do?"Bria

Chapter 19 Think About What Our Friends Will Say
At this point, it's unclear whether the Vasconcelos family had gathered to celebrate a family member's birthday or to have fun at the expense of Mark and Briana.However, this was the result after Briana futilely presented Mark as her husband.Mark's final remark made the others laugh until they couldn't anymore."He, he, he! I didn't know janitors had access to confidential company information!" Katrina exclaimed mockingly."It looks like the Glamour hierarchy is revolutionizing, huh? Now even the lowest-ranking members know about contracts and corporate collaborations!" James joined in the mockery.Gilson felt uncomfortable for having such a lowlife visitor on his birthday and decided to join in, "Young man, bragging is a bad habit, you know?"Didn't Briana tell us that you worked in janitorial? Did you happen to overhear classified conversations when you entered the office to sweep the floor?"Katrina shook her head in disdain, "No, Dad. This guy is probably a spy, listening to oth

Chapter 20 A Bet
Everyone laughed so hard that they were practically gasping for breath, leaning this way and that.A poor loser bragging about booking the Aurelia Cathedral?Who did he think he was?!The Cathedral of Aurelia was famous for its medieval-style construction, which had been preserved and renovated by the government over all these years, maintaining its original appearance.As a result, the venue had been one of the most famous points in the kingdom of Aurelia.And only the privileged elite are eligible to enter.Even their family — the Vasconcelos family, weren't qualified.So how could someone like Mark, a mere working-class janitor, qualify?Truly laughable!Mark, on the other hand, remained completely unaffected.Wasn't it clear in his own mind whether he was qualified or not?If he wasn't qualified, then hardly anyone in this world would be!With indifference, he observed first-hand how a bunch of snobs behaved."Oh my God! Briana, where did you find this husband of yours? At some st
