Mr. Smith looked very angry. "What?! Kneel?! In front of you?!" he shouted, his face turning red. "Who do you think you are? You're just an ignorant youngster, and you want me, a company leader, to kneel in front of you?" William tried to remain calm, he was not affected by Mr. Smith's anger. "I understand that this is difficult for you, Mr. Smith. But, this is Young Master Anderson's request. If you refuse, I'm afraid you'll have to be prepared to face the consequences.""Mr. Smith, this is not a difficult request. You might as well do it," Evan added.Mr. Smith was still trying to find a way out of this situation. "Is there any other way?" he asked, his voice hopeful. William without hesitation said, "No, Mr. Smith. This is Young Master Anderson's request. There is no other way." Mr. Smith looked even more furious. "But why do I have to kneel? What does this have to do with my son? Did I make a mistake? Why do I have to apologize?" he shouted. William, calmly and firmly, replied
The next day, Robert was free from prison. He flaunted himself, proud to be free without having to stay in detention for long. Not only because he had regained his freedom, but also because he had not received any punishment. His other friends were delighted and they visited Robert's house to celebrate his freedom and to find out how he came to be free.Robert had poured a drink into a glass. He had chosen an expensive red wine, perfect for celebrating such a special occasion. He sat casually on the sofa, enjoying the party atmosphere full of his friends. Sarah asked him, "Robert, how did you get free sooner than we all thought?" Robert smiled widely and proudly. He took a sip of wine from his glass before answering, "It must be my father's hard work. I told you, I won't be detained for long." His friends who heard Robert's explanation were quite surprised. However, they were happy to see their friend back and free. "Yeah, that's good then." Sarah relaxed too. Incidentally, her bo
William took the phone back from Robert's trembling hands. His eyes looked up at Robert, smiling slightly as he watched the look of fear that filled Robert's face. "I didn't do anything to your father," William said in a calm and steady voice, "I only told him about what happened today." Robert was still overwhelmed with fear, his whole body seemed to freeze. He couldn't believe the news that had just been delivered. His father had been furious earlier. In fact, he even threatened to break Robert's hand if he dared to touch William again. How could his father say that? Robert thought, needing an explanation for what had just happened. William responded with a smile full of mystery. Then, he said, "Just obey your father and do as I say." Robert was still in confusion, trying to process and understand what had just happened. His father's harsh and stern words were still echoing in his ears. It seemed impossible that William who shouldn't have any relationship could be so easily obe
A month later.Now, Robert and his friends gather at a café near campus. It's a cozy atmosphere, with sunlight streaming through the windows, giving the room natural light. Laughter and light conversation fill the air, along with the sound of the coffee machine and the distinctive, soothing aroma.Suddenly, the door of the café opened and William walked in, hand in hand with Vera. William looked relaxed with his disheveled hair, while Vera flashed her always charming smile. They looked so harmonious, as if they didn't care what others thought.Jordan noticed their arrival first. "Hey, that loser dared to come to this cafe," he said in a scornful tone.Robert, who was playing with his cell phone, heard Jordan's words and looked at him with a lazy gaze. He didn't really care what Jordan said.Jordan seemed to have other ideas. "Why don't you come over to his table right now and pour him a capucino of your own?" he suggested with a big smile.Robert didn't respond, instead he was busy wi
After finishing his business at the luxurious Silver Diamond restaurant, Jaiden headed home. The light of the crystal chandeliers that adorned the restaurant began to fade behind him, replaced by the soft moonlight and the sparkling city lights.Outside, the cool night air greeted him. The valet, a man in a neat uniform, was waiting with Jaiden's car perfectly parked right in front of the restaurant's entrance. The black Mercedes shone under the light of the street lamps, reflecting the professionalism and efficiency of the valet attendant."Good evening, Mr. Spencer," the valet said politely, handing Jaiden the car keys. His voice was smooth yet clear, reflecting respect and appreciation.However, before Jaiden could get into his car, his eyes were drawn to a car parked not far away. An old Chevrolet, with faded paint and rust in some parts. It was a stark contrast to the other luxury cars parked at the Silver Diamond restaurant."Wait a minute!" Jaiden shouted, holding back the vale
Sarah was supposed to be enjoying a date with Jaiden. Unfortunately, the reality was different. She was busy with Vera to help Jaiden.When Sarah knocks on the door, Vera is alone in the room, asking for permission to enter. She allows her to enter.Sarah entered the room, her face lit up by a warm smile. She stepped inside, carrying something in her hand.The beautiful girl walked over to Vera, and she handed her the thing she was carrying. Vera, with astonishment on her face, asked, "What's wrong with you?"Sarah replied with a smile, "Just bringing you your favorite fruit salad." She continued, "I made it myself this morning. Please appreciate it."A surprised Vera replied, "You've never been this nice to me."Sarah just snorted softly, then she replied in a serious tone, "You know, right, even though we fight sometimes, I'm still your cousin who cares about you."At first, Vera seemed suspicious of Sarah's offer. However, after seeing Sarah's honest and caring expression, Vera wa
Vera continued her activities at the Grand Street Commercial office with one important need which was none other than to go to the toilet before they left the office. At first, William was willing to take her to the bathroom located in his own office. However, having to go back upstairs, William decided to point out the employee restroom located downstairs.After finishing her business in the bathroom, Vera immediately washed her hands. Suddenly, a voice greeted her and it turned out to be Tania Brown."Hi!" Tania greeted her kindly, Vera returned the greeting while looking at her through the reflection of the mirror.The two of them then washed their hands together. When they were done, Tania took a towel to dry her hands and said, "I'm Tania."Vera smiled and replied, "Yes, I know who you are.""Oh, really?" Tania pretended to be surprised. "How do you know?""I've seen you when you came to my college and left with William. The boys often talk about you because they think you're ver
William just picked up Brian's mother, Mrs. Miguel, who looked very pale. Seeing her condition, they quickly rushed to the hospital. Brian, in a state of panic, was trying his best to stay calm.Upon arriving at the hospital, Brian immediately asked the medical staff for help. Meanwhile, William was supposed to accompany him and help with the administration. However, suddenly William's cell phone rang. It was a call from his grandfather."I'm sorry, I have to answer this phone. You go in first," William said to Brian."But I was rejected earlier," Brian argued, reminding William of the hospital's rejection."You try to take care of it first, I only need five minutes to answer this call. I'll be right back," William replied, trying to convince Brian."Alright," Brian replied, forced to accept the situation and try to take care of everything himself.William then looked for a quiet place to talk."Grandpa, what's wrong?" asked William. He was afraid it was something important as he didn
