Hi, my first story in Meganovel. Happy reading ..*]
Ace sat at a roadside bus stop. The scorching sun made him seek shelter and sit for a while."Where should I look for a job?" Ace was puzzled. In the past, he was offered a job by Nathan because his boss was a friend on social media, and Nathan kindly accepted him to work at the company, even as a cleaning service officer. Ace didn't mind the salary; the most important thing was that it covered his daily expenses.Ace took out his phone. He typed the latest job vacancies for the week via the internet.(LOOK FOR A MANAGER POSITION)Suddenly, the metallic system's voice instructions startled Ace, who was concentrating."What do you mean? Managers are usually experienced. I've never applied for that position, let alone worked as a manager. Please don't disturb me!" Ace's inner voice was slightly annoyed. He had low expectations of landing a top position at a company. It seemed impossible since his previous experience was limited to being an office cleaning service personnel.Ace refocuse
Twenty years ago, at an orphanage, two siblings had to go through a heartbreaking separation.Ace cried, embracing Rico tightly. "Big brother, who will I be with here?" His voice trembled; he couldn't be alone without Rico, even though there were still other friends at the orphanage.Rico tried to be strong, wanting to cry but not wanting to show his sadness in front of his younger brother, Ace. Rico's hands tightly hugged Ace. "I'll always come back for you. Big brother promises not to leave you alone here, okay?" Rico's hands wiped Ace's teary eyes."Rico, let's go home," a woman carrying an elegant handbag pulled Rico's hand, taking him away from Ace.Rico didn't know the reason he was chosen for adoption without Ace's participation."We're only adopting one child. I just want to get pregnant after taking care of you," Rico's new mother said.Rico looked back, gazing at Ace who cried and called his name continuously."Big brother!" Ace shouted, comforted by the orphanage's other fr
In the meeting room, Rico pointed to an empty chair at the back."Sit there, Ace," Rico said.Ace nodded, feeling a bit nervous as everyone stared at him."Do these people not know who I am? Oh, right. I'm the new manager here," Ace thought, forcing a timid smile."Who is he?" someone whispered."I've never seen him before. Is he a new employee?"Ace felt uncomfortable."Look at his appearance, just wearing a regular suit. Not handsome, and he looks a bit dull."Ace's mind boiled. Were they mocking him?(ATTENTION! YOU MUST RESPOND TO THEIR INSULTS)Ace raised an eyebrow. What's the big deal?He focused on listening to Rico's explanation about the best wood for making furniture chairs."Hurry up and tell me. I feel like shutting their mouths!" Ace fumed in his thoughts. He felt offended and angry.(YOU'RE WEARING A LOUIS VUITTON SUIT. SHOW OFF THAT BRAND AND YOUR CHARISMA!)Ace sighed. He unbuttoned his sleeve and revealed a smooth white fabric with a well-known brand."Oh, my! He's w
The man grinned smugly. "Letting you go?" He asked with a mocking tone, glancing at Ace dismissively.Ace nodded wearily. He was out of breath because of this. "I-I didn't take George's position. A-and my position is just temporary. Y-yes, for 2 weeks," Ace stuttered. Speaking was difficult for him."Even if it's just for 2 weeks, don't get too hopeful about replacing George!" He snapped angrily. He released his grip.Ace coughed, trying to catch his breath. "Believe me, I'm only temporarily the manager here," he said seriously and convincingly."If you're seeking attention and trying to outshine others, be careful. I won't let you go!" He issued a stern warning to Ace before leaving him leaning weakly.(WHY DON'T YOU FIGHT BACK?)Ace grumbled in frustration. "Fight back how? I had trouble breathing earlier! Do you expect me to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, huh?""Ace!" Rico suddenly arrived and forcefully opened the restroom door. He approached Ace, who leaned weakly as if power
"All the employees here, I invited them all," replied Ace calmly. It was time for Ace not to be embarrassed and think about financial problems in his wallet. Now, there is a wealth system that provides money for fun.Laughter echoed in the room; they still couldn't believe that Ace was going to throw a party for all of Rico's office employees.'Ace, are you selling the gold I gave you? If so, you'd better ignore those insulting words. Unfortunately, you sold the 50-gram gold,' Rico's heart spoke. Ace had changed a lot, from being quiet to now daring to confront anyone who would belittle him.***To prove that Ace's words were true and not just empty talk, Ace took them to a luxurious 5-star hotel."Wow, this is the hotel I want to visit. Unfortunately, it's never realized because it's too expensive!""Can we really rent a hotel for a party in just one day?""Maybe he's just storytelling and taking us for a walk around, hahaha."As they walked slowly, Ace sent a direct message to the h
Ace stood up and walked toward Nathan, who was already waiting for him. He wouldn't be afraid of the challenge that Nathan was about to present to him.Nathan clapped his hands. "You're great, Ace! Hosting a party at the most expensive hotel. You truly are a tycoon," Nathan said in amazement. His applause was so loud that it drew the curiosity of several onlookers.Ace remained silent. He was, in fact, lazy and reluctant to accept Nathan's challenge. But since the wealth system would provide a diamond item, he reluctantly agreed to the challenge."By the way, I'm fed up with Agatha. So, I offer her to you again and to my friends," Nathan said with a sly smile, knowing that Ace would likely react with anger and resentment because Agatha had once meant a lot to him.Hearing the word "offer," Ace's mind instantly boiled. He clenched his fists tightly. "Agatha is not that kind of woman. Don't offer her to any man," he said, not willing to accept it. Agatha appeared to have no value in Nat
After the party ended at 7 PM, some of the employees chose to go home.Ace was still confused about the function of the 5-diamond item he had just received from his $100 million wealth system."Was she your boss before?" Rico asked after Ace sat down. He hadn't heard the conversation between Nathan and Ace.Rico was surprised when Ace kissed a woman without feeling embarrassed.Ace nodded. "And the woman I kissed earlier was my ex-girlfriend," Ace replied, his heart pounding as his lips landed on Agatha's."Hmm... you're quite brave. Kissing an ex in front of everyone. Do you still love her?" Rico asked seriously, noting that men often forget women quickly and find replacements in no time.Ace shook his head. "I'm focused on work now. I want to make myself happy first. Relationship issues can wait. Destiny is uncertain," the fresh and painful wound had made Ace traumatized and scared, as love had made him lose faith in feelings of love and loyalty.Rico smiled proudly; his younger bro
(WAIT 3 MINUTES. WE WILL ISSUE A DIAMOND)Ace growled in frustration. "Hurry up! I need that diamond as soon as possible.""How about it, sir? Are you ready to pay 15 million dollars?" The jewelry store clerk asked, sighing tiredly as she waited for Ace, who remained still, not reaching for his wallet or money."Sorry, wait for me for just 3 minutes," Ace forced a smile. He also couldn't afford to pay for that necklace. There were no millions in his wallet, just a few small coins. He hadn't received his paycheck from his current job yet."Alright, sir. We'll wait for you," the clerk nodded.1 minute and 30 seconds passed, Ace checked the running timer. He was about to receive one diamond."Where are you giving my diamonds from? A hidden person?" Ace asked in his mind.No answer, only the sound of a machine processing something."Are you sure he can pay 15 million dollars?""I'm not sure. He doesn't even have a wallet. Look at him, he's been silent the whole time.""But he promised to
