The grand opening day of the first store took place after one week of the company's official opening. The preparations made were so sufficient that Victor didn't have to wait long to open the store where his jewelry would be marketed.On this sunny day, the people who came to welcome the opening of the store exceeded Victor's expectations. Everyone he invited came to congratulate him. And the customers who welcomed the opening of the store also looked satisfied with the Vyctrous collection that was a feast for the eyes."Mr. Victor?" Victor turned his head as someone tapped him on the shoulder. It was a woman, with two other female friends."Good morning." Victor remembered them as Violet's friends at the mayor's celebration party."Good morning. I'm Dyanne." One of them invited Victor to shake hands, followed by the other."I'm Karina.""I'm Ava.""We've come by special invitation from Vyctrous," Dyanne showed him the invitation card.Victor nodded in understanding. "Ah, yes. That's
Victor stared intently at Antonio who stood in front of him. With a haughty and cold face, the man looked at Victor like Victor was cheap thing.Although Victor always felt annoyed and angry every time he saw his father's arrogant face, but this time Victor would not be cynical. He was already dressed too well to be ruined by vain emotions."It's an honor for this little shop to have a visit from a famous businessman like you, Mr. Antonio Leighton," Victor said, trying to smile and act normal."I didn't come to congratulate this place, but I came to congratulate my daughter." Antonio glanced at Vania who was standing near Victor, the woman immediately averted her gaze a little awkwardly. "Congratulations to her, for leaving one of the best companies in town to work in a place like this."Antonio didn't show his smile, but the look in his eyes seemed to have the power to suppress Victor. And Victor didn't like that."You must already know what Vania Leighton is like, she is one of the g
Violet was choosing what to wear on her first day of work.Yes, she was applying for a job at Victor's company. The new company definitely needed a lot of workers, and Violet was confident of getting in even though Victor would reject her if he knew what Violet was doing."He'll already have a director or a personnel manager, so he won't know that I'm among the hundreds of job applications that come into his company," Violet said, looking a little hesitant but then she reassured herself. "Victor would kick me right out if he found out I applied to his company. He didn't seem to want anything to do with me after that day, but I couldn't give up."Violet then remembered why she had signed up with Victor's company. She sighed and sat down on her bed."I thought I was so sure about helping you and going in there to do what you wanted," Violet said, looking uncomfortable, "but somehow I don't feel comfortable doing this. Do I feel bad for Victor?"Violet then remembered her moments with Vic
Since the argument that day, Dylan had not seen Victor until three days had passed.He was honestly surprised and annoyed by how Victor tried to keep Violet out of his sight. Dylan couldn't understand why Victor hated Violet so much, when their relationship had seemed fine before.About Violet who didn't want to trust Victor and help him save Vania, Dylan thought it was normal for Victor to be upset. But Dylan didn't understand that it could make Victor furious that he didn't want Violet around."Just thinking about him still makes me feel upset," Dylan said, walking into the office lobby on some business.As someone who played a role in the jewelry-making process, Dylan was rarely in the office. He would go to the office if there was business to be done there, and it seemed to make Dylan a little happy that he wasn't in the mood to see Victor.Instead of seeing Victor, Dylan was stunned for a moment when he saw who had come into the office today.It was Violet.Dylan tried to act calm
"So you think Miss Violet could be a threat to the company if she works here?" Dylan asked with an offended look on his face, as if Victor was accusing him."That's what I believe.""Did you think it was the right thing to do this time? You seem to have a very strong feeling for everything."Victor frowned, feeling as if Dylan had purposely said that to insult him."I don't think my feelings will always come true, Dylan, I'm thinking this because I know something that could make her betray me without hesitation." Victor was still trying to explain. "First of all, it's obvious, she's Antonio's daughter. You asked what the difference is between her and Vania? There is. I believe Vania will not betray me.""What makes you so sure? It could be that Antonio's daughter who would betray you for him is Miss Vania.""No, I'm sure Vania wouldn't.""What's the reason?""Because Vania is not a woman who can act stupidly for love."Dylan gave Victor a confused look, then he laughed. "Are you sure?
Violet finished preparing a glass of wine and some snacks to chat with Victor. He met her with a more refreshed look; he'd just taken a shower, and his hair was still dripping a little water."You look more alive," Violet said, and Victor sat down on the couch next to the one Violet was sitting on. She smiled and asked, "Are you already feeling like a real businessman? You look very tired.""Do I look like that?" Victor asked back."Yes...""I'm glad you understand, but you still asked me to join you for a drink."Violet pursed her lips. "You told me I could do that.""Even so, I hope you at least understand." Victor picked up the glass filled with wine and drank it down. Then he sat back on the sofa and said, "I've had your wine; is that enough now?"This time, Violet frowned in disappointment."Do you really not want to talk to me?" asked Violet with a sad face. Victor didn't respond and just looked away. "Victor, are you still angry?""Talking about it again?""I still haven't gott
Violet came home from work. She saw that her mother was still in her room, and dinner time was just around the corner."Mom, can I come in?" asked Violet as she opened Sahara's bedroom door without her knowing."Oh, Violet. You're home..." Sahara said, tidying up something she had been working on, her back to the door, looking very focused.Violet walked over to her mother, and she saw the very thick photo album in Sahara's hands."It looks like you're diving into memories of the past," Violet said, sitting down on the bed.Sahara smiled. "I miss the days when you and your brothers were kids." Violet glanced at the picture her mother was showing her, and there were several pictures of her and her twin brother when they were little.Sahara looked at Violet deeply and fondly. "It seems like time flies," she said, rubbing Violet's face. "I'm glad you're doing so well.""Anyone would do well if they had parents like you and dad." Violet kissed Sahara's cheek and lay down on the woman's be
Violet knocked softly on Antonio's workroom door before she was allowed in by Antonio, who was busy taking care of his paperwork."I'm here, Dad," Violet said, standing in front of the door."Come here." Antonio spoke without looking at Violet. After the woman arrived in front of him, Antonio put down his work to look at Violet's slightly tense face. "How was work, girl?"Antonio smiled, hope in his eyes. That hope had somehow made Violet feel pressured."Did you do what I said to do?""Yes, Dad....""Did you? And what did you get? What did he say?"Violet didn't answer right away, remembering what had happened the night she'd put the drug in Victor's wine glass under her father's orders. Violet had felt a little conflicted; she was afraid there would be dangerous side effects, but Antonio had said that the drug would just make Victor a little drunk and do what Violet wanted without realizing it.Unfortunately, it didn't work that way.Even after being so drunk that he couldn't walk t
