Chapter 014: Daniel"Sir?"Terry looked back, followed by Miu, who seemed familiar with the voice. Terry saw an adult man walking towards him.The man was dressed in formal attire, with a white shirt covered by a dark blue suit, as well as wearing a matching colored tie, with a watch from a well-known brand coiled on his left hand. Don't forget the glasses perched on his nose. Terry could estimate that the man was over 60 years old.The man walked over and was now standing in front of both Terry and Miu."Miu, who authorized you to offer such a lowly job to my guest?" The man crossed his arms in front of his chest, with a sharp gaze fixed on the platinum-haired girl.Miu gulped. Her amber eyes rolled in the other direction, reluctant to meet his gaze. Her body trembled violently, as did her voice. "That..."The atmosphere that had been friendly and warm turned awkward and tense. The air felt cold and piercing, like being trapped in an ice cave.Terry, who was trapped between
Chapter 015: The (Dangerous) OfferKai got out of the Bentley with a few files in his hand. His lips curled upwards with a friendly aura. When someone greeted him, he would answer in a friendly manner. Kai hoped that he would find what he needed in this place.His feet stepped towards the towering building in front of him, the Van Derrick Corp. He had business with its leader due to orders from Daniel.While at the crossroads, Kai felt his cell phone vibrate, indicating an incoming call. Out of curiosity, Kai reached into his pocket to see who was calling him.On his cell phone screen, the name [kitten Miu] was written. Kai was naturally confused. Why would that person call him while he was on duty?Out of sheer curiosity, Kai scrolled his finger on his phone screen to pick up the call. "Hello?""Kai!"Kai pulled the phone he was holding away from his ear when he heard Miu's shrill voice. He rubbed his ears as he grumbled softly."Gosh, what's wrong with you?" Kai asked in
Chapter 016: Report "Where's Terry?""What do you mean?"Kai turned his head towards the back. His eyes watched the heterochrome-eyed man up and down, scanning him carefully. His forehead was deeply furrowed with a noticeable lip line dropping. "No need to pretend you don't know, Kai." "But I really don't know what you're talking about, Ben.""I know that you brought Terry," Ben said again with his hands clenched on either side of his body.Kai shook his head with a rough sigh. "Ben, you don't seem to have changed.""What do you mean?""You always accuse me without proof. I mean, which Terry are you talking about? Do you know that I just got back from Germany?" Kai asked frantically.Ben was silent for a few moments. His fists seemed to loosen, and his demeanor softened slightly."I mean, Terry's the youngest of the Walter family," Ben spoke again in a slightly higher voice. "I know you brought that guy, right? So where is he now?""Ben, I don't know who you're looking f
Chapter 017: Be careful "That person? Don't tell me if he's..." Frank put his index finger in front of Steve's lips, asking the man to stop talking. The tail of his eye glanced to the south, which led to a slightly open door. Steve followed the direction of the glance, then gave a small nod. He closed his mouth, swallowing back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue. Looking at Steve, who understood the code he gave, Frank lowered his index finger. A faint smile was etched on his lips. His hand stretched out to take a bottle of water that was available on the table. Now, Frank's attention was on the open door. He had to see who dared to interrupt his conversation. "Irene?" he called in a firm voice. "Is that you?" The woman gasped in surprise. She came out of her hiding place. Her body that had been hiding behind the door was now visible. "Yes, sir. It's me." "What are you doing behind the door?" Frank asked in a confused tone. "Do you have anyt
Chapter 018: New Member? Terry laid down on the bed. Earlier, after Daniel left, he was asked by Miu to wait in one of the rooms alone while waiting for Kai to come home. Terry closed his eyes using his arms, blocking the light from entering his retinas. His mind was now filled with many things. Starting from his wife, who left with Matthias, the state of his family, his brother's arrival, Daniel knowing his secret, and Kai not explaining anything to him. Everything was mixed together, making him feel dizzy. Terry almost fell asleep because he was too tired to think about everything. However, that didn't happen because he woke up to the sound of the door being opened from outside. The man opened his eyes again and turned to the door. "Sorry, did I disturb your rest?" "Not at all," Terry got up from his position, looking the man up and down carefully. The man was wearing a black shirt and white coat with a stethoscope hanging from his neck. In his hand, he carried a me
Chapter 019: Doubt (1) . . . Currently, Daniel was reading a document about the planning of cooperation with Van Derrick Corp. He was so focused on reading word by word written there without caring about the circumstances around him. However, his activities had to stop when one of his men spoke to him without permission in a low voice. "Sir, are you sure about your decision?" The middle-aged man turned his attention to Miu, who was currently twisting the hem of her shirt in the doorway. His amber eyes looked straight at Miu. His expression looked flat, waiting for Miu to continue her words. "Hm?" He muttered loudly. "Is putting Terry with Kai and Archer the best choice?" Miu asked again. She lowered her face, reluctant to meet the boss, who was currently wearing a lopsided smile. Daniel put the document he was holding onto the table, precisely on top of the stack of folders on the left. After that, Daniel rested his hand on his chin. "Come in first, Miu
Chapter 020: Explanation of Plan F3 (1)Looking at the message written on the paper held by Kai, Archer pulled the corner of his lips, forming a lopsided smile and an odd expression.Terry noticed that. He turned his head, looking at Archer intently, before finally choosing to ask."Are you alright?"Archer turned his head towards Terry. Still with the same smile plastered on his face, "What do you mean?""Your facial expression," Terry pointed at Archer's face with his hand. He felt bad having to say this. Moreover, the two had just gotten acquainted. However, it seemed like he had to speak up. "Your expression looks odd." He said it hesitantly."Odd?" Archer repeated Terry's last words. "My expression is normal, Terry. You're just exaggerating.""No." Terry exclaimed softly, trying to speak calmly. "Your expression looked different when you saw the paper Kai was holding.""Oh, so you noticed it?" Archer asked. His tone sounded stiff, like a robot. "What do you think my expre
Chapter 001: Insults"Terry, this is your salary."Terry, who was daydreaming in the corner of the room, gasped in surprise when his name was called. His eyes blinked for a few moments, regaining the focus that had been lost. Quickly, he walked up to Jake, the manager at his workplace.Terry took the envelope from Jake's hand with a sense of pleasure. A faint smile was etched on his lips. He quickly put the envelope into his shabby pants pocket."Thank you, Mr. Jake,""You're welcome," Jake smiled slightly. He tapped Terry's shoulder quite hard. It made Terry, who was going home, stop his steps."What is it again, Mr. Jake?" asked Terry politely. "Do you need anything?""No, I don't. I just wanted to remind you. Don't forget the extra work tonight." Jake paused his words for a moment and nudged Terry's arm like an old friend."FYI, I think you're about to be promoted by our boss to a full-time position."Terry's face looked surprised to hear that. His pointed eyes were rounde
