"Secretary Jorell," called Mr. Barnes, who had just exited his car parked in front of the Zay Group's corporate building.Secretary Jorell, who was about to pass through the entrance, turned around. And upon seeing the figure of Mr. Barnes, he smiled and turned around. "Mr. Barnes, you're here.""Yes. I came here on purpose to see you. You must be very busy. But, could you spare some time to join me for lunch?" Mr. Barnes looked at him with a faint smile.When hearing this from someone of extraordinary status, how could Secretary Jorell refuse? Moreover, Mr. Barnes was his master's superior. No matter how busy he was, he would still accompany him if asked.For someone like Mr. Barnes, it was impossible to just come for pleasantries. There must be something important to say.He nodded slowly and said, "It's an honor to have lunch with you."Mr. Barnes laughed. "I should have said that. You are a very busy man. My invitation is welcome, I'm very happy.""Come on, let's take my car." Wit
Secretary Jorell walked hurriedly into the Pratama house in search of Clarita. After asking some of the servants who were busy doing their duties, it turned out that the girl was in the swimming pool, making him rush there."Miss," he called out when he saw Clarita sitting on the pool's edge with both feet in the water.However, even when Secretary Jorell was nearby, Clarita did not turn around. Her gaze was directed straight at the calm water."Miss," Secretary Jorell called again as he lightly tapped her shoulder.Only then did Clarita startle and turn her head. "Secretary Jorell? Why are you here?"Secretary Jorell did not answer immediately. He was watching Clarita's face, which looked haggard with her eyes. Her cheeks looked even more gaunt. Seeing her condition, he subconsciously asked, "Are you okay?"Clarita blinked softly at that and slowly averted her eyes, no longer looking at Secretary Jorell. "Do you have anything important to say?""It's not the first time you've seen me
"Miss, you mean...." Secretary Jorell suddenly lost his words. His eyes widened to stare at Caitlin, still smiling sweetly in shock. "You... why... what are you saying?"However, Caitlin chuckled playfully until she covered her mouth with both small hands. "Secretary Jorell, you're so adorable when you can't speak like this."Then, she stood up and ran out of the room. Secretary Jorell stared at her departure in confusion. Not long after, the little girl returned with a glass of water, which was immediately handed to Secretary Jorell. "Drink up first. I'm afraid you're having a heart attack."Although her words sounded uncomfortable, Secretary Jorell accepted the water and gulped it down slowly.After finishing, he looked at Caitlin, who was still standing and trying to align her height while holding her arm. "Miss, can you explain everything to me? This is not a trivial matter. A girl like you shouldn't know this. Is there really no one who knows it but you?"Caitlin was silent for a
"Is there still no word from Felix?" asked Miles, who was now sitting at the dining table, facing Benton with a beer can in his hand. "You guys are so close, more like family. Did he really not tell you anything?""No," replies Benton, sighing softly. "If we knew, we wouldn't have hidden it. It seems like he's really angry this time.""I've never seen him angry in all this time, and even I always imagined how he would react when angry. But I didn't expect that... he's so scary like this," Benton continued, staring straight at the table in front of him with his blank stare.Perhaps if he had known that Felix's anger would be carried out by leaving without news, he would never have imagined or wanted it.It was tantamount to punishing those left behind, even worse than throwing a punch.Miles takes a deep breath and sips his beer. His gaze wandered in the other direction, and he muttered, "Where the hell is he?"Then he remembered something and hit the table with his clenched fist. His
The chaos frightened many, especially those with debt agreements with the mysterious group.This situation was more dire than the previous days. They felt crushed. Even if they could pay off all their debts, they could not settle them easily because they did not know much about the group.The group had no specific identity, and no one knew exactly where they were. They would come as they pleased and leave without a trace, without being contacted again.If this continues, everyone could experience mental distress as they drown in their fears. The group was like a real terror that haunted everyone in debt."Fortunately, the house was empty, so there were no victims involved," said a man clutching his chest and breathing a sigh of relief when he saw that the fire that had engulfed the house had been extinguished. "I was so scared earlier."The man next to him nodded with a pale face. "I felt like I couldn't even breathe. I can't imagine what it would be like if the owner was inside. The
Unfortunately, what was expected did not match reality. What Felix thought would be a short time turned out to be a very long time because the thief was so clever at escaping.Felix chased tirelessly, but the pickpocket also kept running through the small streets and kept turning randomly. Sometimes, he even jumped over walls and climbed trees, much to Felix's annoyance.Finally, Felix stopped his steps with his gaze fixed on the man's back. He was breathing hard, with his face contorted with annoyance. "This is the first time I've met such a strong villain.""If this keeps up, I won't be able to complete the mission," he continued with a soft sigh."EasySync, exchange my points for an incredible running speed!" he commanded then.Ting![Command received.][Processing order.][5000 points exchanged for running power successfully performed.][Master, please!]Felix smiled wryly at that. His eyes became sharp. "This time, you won't be able to get away from me, damn it."After that, he m
"Ah, that, he's already gone. But he really helped me earlier. It's just that his attitude was too cold, so he just left," replied Grace, who then smiled with a happy face, remembering Felix's handsome face that was so charming.Olivia just nodded slowly. However, when she looked at Grace to invite her to go home, she immediately frowned in surprise at her behavior. "What's wrong with you?""Oh? Nothing." A surprised Grace shook her head. Her hand returned to Olivia's arm and led her away. "I owe him a favor, and I hope we can meet again.""Didn't you just say thank you?" asked Olivia in surprise.Grace shook her head quickly with a restrained smile. She looked even more blushing. "I did. But I want to see him again. He's the man of my dreams. I think we might just be soul mates."Upon hearing this, Olivia, who had been staring strangely at the girl beside her, burst into laughter. She even stopped her steps. Her crisp laughter sounded annoying to Grace's ears, making the girl scowl i
Felix frowned with a look of wariness in his eyes. "Who are you?"However, instead of answering, the person on the other end of the line chuckled softly. Of course, that made Felix chuckle. He really didn't like this kind of small talk. He didn't know who this person was, but it was clear that he was an annoying person and not easy to deal with."Using someone else's cell phone is very rude. Give it back to him, and let me talk to him!" Felix commanded warningly."Oh? Unfortunately, he's not someone else to me. Sir, aren't you too ignorant? You don't even recognize your employees. I'm always waiting for you and expecting you to reach out to the stranded me, but you don't even ask how I'm doing." The man rambled dramatically, making Felix's expression turn grim.What did he mean?He always cared for his employees and never neglected them. But this obscure person was calling him bad names. This was defamation!He didn't even know who this person was, but how could he claim to be his emp
