He quickly grabbed his jacket and ran to the funeral home.Vera's family funeral home was silent and somber. Sad faces and teary eyes filled every corner of the room. The sound of sobs could be heard faintly from a distance, combined with the smell of mourning flowers that pierced the nose. In the center of the room, the coffin opens, revealing the figure of Vera's father who is now calm in his final sleep.In front of the coffin, Vera stands. Her normally cheerful and energetic figure now looked weak and fragile. Her hair, which was usually flowing beautifully, now looked disheveled, as if reflecting the

William, after a month of leaving his grandfather's big company, Grand Street Commercial, was looking for a new job. Although he didn't admit to working there, his good educational values made him optimistic about job opportunities elsewhere.However, challenges arose. Some large companies already had internal recruitment systems in place, and did not accept outside applications. Even when William tried to apply for important positions, they said the positions were already filled. If William wanted to work, he had to start from a regular staff position or even an office courier. No matter how smart he was or how many good grades he had, without a network, getting a position in the company became almost impossible.While William was busy looking for a job, his phone rang. It was Vera, an old friend he rarely heard from. Her voice sounded serious and urgent, "William, we need to talk. There's something we need to discuss."They agreed to meet at a nearby café. William was quite curious

Evan entered the room with the report in his hand. "Sir," he said in a respectful voice. Lucas was enjoying the relaxing aroma therapy, immersed in the lavender and ylang-ylang scents that filled the room."What's wrong?" asked Lucas, gesturing for the therapists who were helping him to leave the room. They left, leaving Lucas and Evan alone.Evan bowed slightly, a gesture that suggested the news he was about to deliver was private and confidential. "The young master is getting married," he said carefully.Lucas smiled slightly, as if he already knew the news. In his heart, Lucas felt a mixture of happiness and worry. "When is the wedding?" he asked, trying to mask his excitement.Evan felt uneasy. He knew that William was having financial problems. Many of William's assets had been frozen, and this meant that he wouldn't have enough money to throw the lavish wedding he had dreamed of."It looks like they're just doing the paperwork, no party," Evan explained, trying to calm his nerve

Just as William hung up the phone, he felt confused. Vera, his coworker, had suddenly planned something rather absurd. William rubbed his forehead, trying to piece together what he had just heard.Before William could finish his thought, Martin Winter suddenly came to him. Martin was William's coworker who often made him feel annoyed."William, have you duplicated the files I asked you to?" Martin asked in a high tone.William furrowed his brows. "What? I wasn't given that task," William replied, confused.Martin scowled, looking annoyed. "I put it on my desk. I told you earlier to double it immediately," Martin said, accusing William.William gave Martin an incredulous look. "Didn't Mr. Jackson tell you to do it?" asked William, trying to remind Martin.However, Martin approached William's desk instead. He bowed slightly and spoke with sharp words, "When you're told to work, you do it right away! Can't you see I'm busy? You're almost useless in this office anyway."William could only

At the end, William had to lose to Martin because he couldn't prove that Martin had stolen his idea. This was a real shame, because he couldn't do anything about it. His presentation today was a failure, and Martin instead got a promotion from their boss to move up. William had to leave empty-handed. However, it's not over yet. One day, he will definitely be able to make Martin regret his behavior for daring to steal William's idea."William," called Martin, making William stop his steps and turn around to face Martin. "What's wrong?" asked William.Martin pulled one corner of his lips into a sardonic smile. "You don't seem to like that I succeeded in this presentation."William shrugged his shoulders, showing his indifference. "What should I do?" he asked rhetorically. "Should I congratulate the person who copied my idea exactly?"Martin scowled, visibly annoyed. "You have the audacity to still begrudge me for taking my idea!""It's a fact that you're the one who copied my idea," Wi

"Mr. Rivery?" she said in a voice that could barely be heard. She couldn't believe she was meeting her boss at Sarah's wedding.Jonas was quite happy to see Vera. However, his expression changed when he saw a man standing next to her, "Well, I didn't expect to see you here."Vera herself was quite amazed and introduced William, "Mr. Rivery, this is my husband, William."Jonas smiled. Despite his dislike for William, the man tried to maintain his dignity. He reached out and shook hands with William."Good evening, Mr. Rivery.

Thirty months have passed. That means it's been two and a half years since William lived with Vera. Living a harmonious household with various trials. Evan, who was assigned by Lucas to supervise William, gave the news that William had to visit Grand Street Commercial that day."What's the reason grandpa asked me to go there?" William asked when Evan met him.To be honest, Evan's arrival was a bit of a surprise. Because, he could suddenly ask permission from his superiors saying that he had to talk to William. Dimitri could easily allow him this made William conclude his own speculation."He said there were things that had to be discussed."
