His Lord Justin Kimberly Spin-off 4: Ricard (111)
Ricard took the elevator to the 13th floor, found Room 2, and unlocked the door. The so-called single apartment was definitely luxurious, with at least 130 square meters. The living room, bedroom, and bathroom were all spacious and lavishly decorated with intricate wallpaper and high-end furnishings. The wooden floors were spotless.In the apartment was a studio, complete with drawing materials, suggesting it was set up for Ricard's assumed identity. Looking around, Ricard saw it wasn't a recent arrangement. Some paint jars were half-used, and a drawing on an easel was half-finished, creating the illusion that someone regularly painted there.Just as Ricard finished surveying the apartment, the doorbell rang."Coming!" Ricard called out. He went to the living room, thought for a moment, and took off his suit jacket, leaving only his shirt on before opening the door. Three women—Milan, Like, and Jeannie—stood outside with a man Ricard hadn't met before. The man had a beard, braided hai

"We're just here for a meal and some friendly conversation," Ricard interjected, cutting off Papillon."This isn't just a place for a casual meal," Papillon chuckled. "Who among you has the credentials to sit here?"Papillon was really only addressing Ricard and Mayya. The rest of the tea house patrons knew his attention was on the three beautiful women. Mayya tossed out his business card. "Is this sufficient?""A senior member of the Soggetto Art Association, chairman of the Newtown City Modern Art Exhibition?" Papillon read the card with a sneer. "I thought we had a big shot here.""A senior member and chairman? That's nothing," added the man who had spoken earlier about the 800-square-meter art boat.Ricard frowned, realizing this meal wouldn't be pleasant. Mayya's face darkened. No one likes being publicly belittled, especially in their professional field. Mayya put down his chopsticks and stood up. "What do you want to discuss? Art critique, appraisal, or painting?"Mayya's words

"Keep your word and don't back out, or I'll have people visit your boat every day to spread the word about your character," Milan added, patting Papillon's shoulder with a sly smile.Ricard and his group left the restaurant one by one.Papillon and Anthony stared at the table, speechless.At the tea house, though Ricard didn't directly discuss painting with Mayya, the outcome was clear. Mayya realized the gap between himself and Ricard was vast."It's no surprise that Jeannie would be interested in a man like Ricard. How could he be anything but exceptional?" Mayya said, sitting in the back of Milan's car.In Jeannie's red Benz GT, she didn't start the engine immediately after getting in."Chairwoman Demneri, why aren't we leaving? Milan and the others have already driven off," Ricard asked from the passenger seat."Why did you deceive me?" Jeannie turned to Ricard."Deceive you about what?" Ricard was puzzled."Everything you showed just now. Don't tell me you learned all that from t

"Hurry up, register!" Irena slapped a small notebook on the desk.Maria hurried to the reception, explaining, "Irena, the company policy states that business representatives bringing clients don't need to register."Irena crossed her arms, rolling her eyes, "You say he's a client, so he's a client? How do I know he's a client?""Young lady, I can register," Eugene approached the reception.Under other circumstances, Eugene would never register, but today Ricard had summoned him, and he couldn't afford to be prideful. Even if Ricard had asked Eugene to kneel and kowtow three times before giving the money, Eugene would have done it.Maria apologized to Eugene, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Eugene.""No problem." Eugene smiled and waved, asking Irena for a pen."You didn't bring a pen?" Irena glared at Eugene, "Coming to discuss business and didn't even bring a pen? Are you really here for business or just a fraud?"Hearing this, Eugene glanced at Ricard, who stood there smiling silently.Eugene, s

"Three... hundred thousand?" Maria's eyes glazed over at the number. Her family was ordinary, and her parents had worked hard their whole lives without saving that much money. Three hundred thousand was enough to buy a house in Supperazza, enough for someone unemployed to live comfortably for years, or to buy a BMW. For Maria, three hundred thousand was an unimaginable fortune.Hearing Eugene say that this deal alone could yield a bonus of three hundred thousand made Maria feel like she was dreaming. "Girl, so, will you sign the contract, or do I need to call Ricard?"Maria swallowed hard, stammering, "I... I..."Hearing Maria's response, Eugene felt a bit disappointed. He understood that three hundred thousand might not mean much to him, but it could change an ordinary person's life. With three hundred thousand, they could buy a big house, a luxury car."I... I need to call Ricard and ask him to treat me to a good meal. Three hundred thousand is a lot! Mr. Eugene, please wait a momen

"Mr. Eugene, please wait. I'll go get Ricard.""No need," Eugene called Maria back. "Ricard entrusted this deal to me. If you don't sign it, I'll refuse to cooperate.""What?""Girl, how your company distributes the bonus between you and Ricard is none of my business. You can discuss it with your boss later. For now, go get the contract."The sudden success of the deal and the enormous bonus were overwhelming for Maria. It took her a while to process it.As Maria left the reception room to get the contract, her face still showed signs of disbelief.Everyone in the business department saw Maria's expression. When she left the reception room, they all started talking."What's wrong? Couldn't close the deal?""She looks like she failed.""She's a rookie trying to handle a deal herself. What did you expect?"Kristy and others showed disdain. "No," Maria waved her hands. "The deal is done. The client agreed to sign the contract.""Signed?" Kristy's eyes widened in disbelief. She knew the v

When Eugene heard that Jeannie was Ricard's wife, his expression immediately turned respectful. "Lovely lady, forgive me for saying, but you truly are the most beautiful angel I've ever met.""Uncle Eugene is the manager of the Zefiro Group, the largest financial group in France," Prince Charles reintroduced Eugene to Jeannie.Although Prince Charles didn't use flowery language or mention astronomical wealth, saying it was the largest in France was enough for Jeannie to understand the significance of the old man standing before her. A man like this could hardly be someone Ricard found to collude in defrauding the company.Outside the reception room, Naccy and her group waited for the outcome.Jeannie quickly exited the reception room, and they all looked at her, awaiting a response.Jeannie scanned the group and spoke, "Director Naccy, this has been a misunderstanding. Mr. Eugene is indeed the partner Ricard found.""How can that be?" Naccy's first reaction was disbelief. How could so

Jeannie chuckled lightly. "In the end, you're still trying to comfort me, but in your own unique way.""Am I? Ha ha." Ricard laughed heartily, ruffling his hair. "Sit down." Jeannie gestured to Ricard.Ricard did not stand on ceremony, sprawling comfortably on the sofa.Jeannie poured him a cup of tea, an unprecedented gesture from her. This act made Ricard feel both pampered and uneasy. "No, no!" Ricard quickly stopped her."What's the matter? Are you mocking me?" Jeannie shot Ricard a sharp look. "A man who can easily get the head of the largest corporation in France to come to Supperazza to sign a contract can’t accept a cup of tea from me?"Ricard gave a wry smile. Initially, he hadn't planned to let Jeannie know about Eugene, but with today's events, including Prince Charles’s presence, there was no way to keep it hidden.After pouring the tea, Jeannie sat down opposite Ricard, lightly rubbing her forehead. "As usual, explain.""Ah… I saved Eugene’s life once, and since then he’s

The sudden incident left Jeannie terrified. Even after the bicycle was hit, she hadn’t recovered.Ricard comforted Jeannie and then angrily walked to the driver's seat of the BMW, shouting, "What kind of driving is this? Didn’t you see the red light?""What's the rush? What's the rush?" The car door opened, and the young man stepped out slowly, "I didn't hit anyone. Just compensate you, right? How much do you want? Three thousand yuan enough?"The young man pulled out three thousand yuan from his pocket and threw it on the car's hood. Before Ricard could respond, he added another three thousand: "If it's not enough, here’s six thousand, okay?"Ricard took a deep breath, "This is not about money. I need your attitude, apologize to us!""Apologize? You must be joking. I didn't hit you. You just want money, right? Fine, here's ten thousand yuan. Is that enough?" The young man threw another stack of money on the hood.He then glanced at Jeannie, trying to gauge her reaction, but she didn'

The staff's words made Jeannie unconsciously look at Ricard.Although they had registered their marriage more than a month ago and even took wedding photos, their relationship had always been lukewarm. Now, suddenly being called Ricard's girlfriend, Jeannie's heart skipped a beat, and even the tension of the impending bungee jump was pushed aside."Hey, man, come here. What are you hiding from? Your girlfriend dares to jump, and you're hiding behind her. Come and hold her tightly." The staff urged, waving at Ricard.Of course, Ricard didn't refuse the staff's suggestion to jump while holding Jeannie, cheerfully running over.Jeannie looked at Ricard in front of her, seeming a bit hesitant: "Didn't we buy two separate tickets? Can't we jump one at a time?""That's right, a couple's ticket. Come here and stand firm, put on the equipment, and don't mess around." The staff said while fitting the equipment on Jeannie and Ricard. The eighty-meter-high jump platform had a hot wind blowing in

“Sure.” Ricard didn't hesitate to hand the Coca-Cola to Jeannie.Jeannie looked at the dark carbonated drink in her hand. There were many things she always wanted to try: singing wildly, acting cute like other girls, playing with social media apps, buying her favorite snacks. But due to her family's strict upbringing, she never did anything too extreme. She never went to karaoke to sing loudly, never bought a pile of snacks, never bought a bunch of cold drinks in the summer. She always maintained a calm and mature demeanor, drinking a hot cup of tea at the company every day. Sometimes she would see others with a cold drink and feel a desire to take a sip, but she feared that doing so would shatter the dignified image she had built in front of her employees. Although she appeared to have many things, she had never experienced things that were easily within reach for ordinary people.Like Coca-Cola. When she was young, her family didn't let her touch these carbonated drinks. As she grew

For Ricard, physical endurance wasn’t an issue. Cycling seventy kilometers, even carrying Jeannie, was no problem for him. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, making the time fly by.Two hours passed unnoticed. The midday sun blazed overhead, heating the road. Ricard cycled along the highway, enjoying occasional shade from roadside trees."President Demneri, are you thirsty? I’ll buy us some drinks." Ricard stopped at a roadside stall, buying two cold Coca-Colas."Why Coca-Cola?" Jeannie asked, puzzled.“For the refreshing taste.” Ricard took a gulp, letting out a satisfied “Ah.”“I’ll have water instead.” Jeannie placed the Coke on the counter, opting for a bottle of mineral water.Ricard gallantly opened the bottle for her, and Jeannie took small sips.Ricard could tell Jeannie was very thirsty, but she still drank slowly, a habit from childhood.“Alright, let’s go. Only twenty kilometers left. If I speed up, we can reach Haihu soon and enjoy the afternoon there.”Ricard resume

Ricard heard the cheers and smiled, looking at the woman standing at the microphone with pride. This was his wife, capable and talented! With a few short sentences, she had inspired everyone’s enthusiasm. The employees' attitude towards work could indeed shape the future development of the company.Irena, who had just been fired, had packed her belongings and quietly left through the side entrance of the company. Seeing Maria with a large rose pinned to her chest, standing at the front of the company and receiving praise, made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She had heard everything Jeannie said over the microphone. Five hundred thousand, even split between two, was still two hundred and fifty thousand each! Why should Maria get that money?Irena glared at the company's main entrance with resentment. If it weren’t for Maria and that damned new hire, today’s events wouldn't have involved her!Irena took a deep breath, trying to console herself. Even if Maria got two hundred and fifty
