Joe asked Lucas for a private room to settle the matter. He asked Emily for further explanation, especially where she got the information about why Jesslyn was fired. "Lucas, I'd like to ask you to settle this matter privately. There are things I want to ask Emily further," Joe said, asking Lucas for permission to take Emily to a private room. Emily, who heard this, was surprised. She thought she would be fired immediately after discovering she was the culprit. But why now, Joe would even take her to a private room? "Yes, Joe, use my room to solve this problem. And you, Emily, I will not help you with anything anymore. All decisions are in Joe's hands. If he wants to fire you, then that's what you'll get," He said. Emily had just resigned after this, if she had to be fired. Her hopes were slim to keep working here."Yes, Lucas. Thank you," Joe said to Lucas for letting him borrow his room to solve his problem with Emily. "You're welcome, Joe." "Emily, you're coming
After yesterday's incident, Jesslyn went to the office again. Although she had wanted to apply for a leave of absence, it wasn't fair that she didn't dare to appear in front of all of them. Finally, Jesslyn still chose to go to work even though Joe had also told her to take leave. "Are you sure you want to go to the office today? If you want to, you can take leave for today." Jesslyn shook her head. "No, Joe. I want to work professionally. I've got a lot to do at the office." Jesslyn got out of the car. Joe also encouraged Jesslyn. "Be strong, honey, if there's anything. You tell me so I can take care of them." Jesslyn smiled and nodded as she quickly waved her hand and entered the office.*** At first, Jesslyn thought that after Emily was punished, her work life would change for the better. However, everything remained the same. "Huft...." Jesslyn exhaled harshly. When she saw Emily, the woman still had a hateful look. It turned out that the woman didn't seem to be deterre
Joe invited his wife to attend a party invitation from his business partner. Jesslyn repeatedly refused to go because she was not confident. But Joe convinces Jesslyn that she is beautiful, so Jesslyn wants to go to the party even though she has to. "Joe, I don't have to come. I'm not confident to come like this," said Jesslyn, who insisted she did not go to her business partner's party. "Why don't you feel confident that you are beautiful, Jes. After all, everyone recognizes that too." "No one does. People at work always say I'm not fit to be your wife. I'm said to be taking advantage, and this is that. I don't want to be said like that, so it's better not to come...." Jesslyn whined to her husband not to come. "Who said you were like that? Here, let me give them another lesson. Emily?" asked Joe, guessing that the woman was still bullying his wife. "Tsk, no. Never mind, Joe, I don't have to come.""No... no. Every time there is an event, you always avoid it. This time, you have
Jesslyn's steps stopped, and looked back. Jesslyn rounded her eyes when she saw Jeo hitting Aaroon. "Oh my God, Joe!" Jesslyn shouted when she saw Joe hitting Aaron, still at his partner's party. Joe punch Aaron in the face. The guests gasped, not expecting that Joe dared to do that. Hitting someone will get punished and can go to jail if it is not based on an apparent reason. "Fuck you, Aaron. How dare you bother my wife!" Joy didn't care that all eyes were on her and all shouts rang in her ears. They tried to separate Joe and Aaron, but instead, they slammed into each other. Jesslyn attempted to separate the two of them. "Joe already, Joe, this is still on someone's show. Enough Joe." Jesslyn pulled Joe away, but he kept on punching Aaron. "Joe... Joe. You're still defending your wife. What I said is true. Your wife is cheap." Aaron continued to ignite the man's emotions. They tried to separate, but the two men demanded to separate. "Asshole!" Joe continued to punc
Cyberspace is suddenly busy. The news that emerged this morning was about the beating that Joe gave Aaron last night. The incident became a trending topic throughout the city. Journalists and reporters also wrote about this incident.Many news came out that day, maybe tens or even hundreds, which made Joe sick of seeing his name everywhere. It made him even more upset, everything seemed to be unstoppable and moving beyond his control. He held back all his emotions, even though he felt irritated and annoyed in his chest.The notifications on his cell phone buzzed, and it wouldn't stop vibrating as friends, colleagues, and family expressed their support for Joe."Mr. Joe, we should have an exclusive interview about the beating." Joe read the message from one of the Capital's reporters. The man did not respond to anything, letting out a long sigh as he felt the pain and soreness in his body that had not disappeared.Joe was even more disgusted when he arrived at his office building. The l
The next day, Aaron looked excited while Alex prepared the documents that his boss needed to apply for cooperation with the same company targeted by Joe."Here's a list of the addresses of the companies you're going to, sir," Alex handed over the paper. "Then you need to come with me," Aaron said, staring at the documents on the table.Alex obeyed his boss. He and Aaron drove to the first company. The first company was difficult. He only managed to meet with the company's secretary."Is the Director of this company unreachable at all?" asked Alex desperately."Yes, sir. The Director of this company is having an important meeting."But suddenly, the Director came after the meeting. This time, Aaron, who saw a golden opportunity, immediately intervened directly. "Good morning, Mr. Director. I'm Aaron. We met at one of the regional head's engagement parties one month ago, do you remember? Can we talk for a moment?" Aaron asked quietly and politely.The Director of the big company accept
Elsewhere, Alex rushed into Aaron's room. He ran from his room as fast as he could until his ragged breathing was audible in the ears of anyone around him."What's wrong?" Aaron asked suspiciously when he saw the look of fatigue and fear on Alex's face."The companies we went to yesterday all refused to work with us, Sir!" said Alex in a strangled voice."What?" Aaron was furious, half-dead. He bit his inner jaw to hold back the scream that he had wanted to release.His face hardened, and he looked sharply and fiercely at Alex. In a cold voice, he said, "What do you mean? How come no one is willing to cooperate with your company?""I don't know, Sir. They didn't tell us the reason for rejecting our offer." Alex looked at his boss fearfully. He held back his hands and started to tremble slowly, and he started suggesting to himself to dare to say the following news. "Worse, there are companies that spread the word that you are ...." He gulped his saliva harshly, and occasionally, he look
A few weeks after Aaron made the mistake that made his name even worse, Alex got another call from the person who had been calling him lately."He's been unconscious for a while," the bartender said as he saw Alex approaching him with vast strides.As soon as he got there, Alex immediatelycast a concerned look at his boss. Right after the news of the beating broke, his boss was even more distressed after a new story surfaced about him mistreating another businessman after his proposed partnership was rejected.Many other entrepreneurs broke off cooperation with his company, and even some of his employees resigned because they no longer trusted him as the leader of AiLo Company.And now is the endpoint, where Aaron always spends his time at the bar to relieve the stress he experiences while thinking of various ways to destroy Joe."Boss?" called Alex softly, shaking his boss's shoulder.Seeing no response, he immediately picked up his boss and carried him into the car."You should hav
