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
Antonio came to that place again. A casino that was very famous among the upper socialites, a place that not everyone could get access to.But Antonio walked in confidently, even hurriedly, because he couldn't wait to meet the person behind the door, guarded by two bodyguards."Sorry, sir, you can't just walk in-ugh!"Antonio didn't wait until one of the bodyguards finished his words, and he opened the door roughly with a smile. The man he was looking for was there, sitting at his desk, which was blocked by a curtain."You're here, Handler," Antonio said, making Handler, who seemed to be busy with his work, stop to look at Antonio's presence."I have no place to be except here. What do you want this time?" asked Handler in a calm voice.Antonio had never seen Handler's face since they first met. It was just that Handler sounded like a man in his 30s, with a tall, well-built body, from the shadow he showed behind his curtains.Antonio approached Handler's curtain and said, "I already k
Victor was stunned by Violet's statement."What did you say, you were... dumped?" asked Victor, demanding an explanation. Violet bowed her head, hiding her sad face. "Violet, tell me. What's going on? You seemed fine with him, why did he dump you all of a sudden?""Are you happy?" asked Violet, giving Victor a sharp look and he was surprised. When Violet looked up, she seemed to be holding back tears with reddened eyes."Violet....""You always wished this would happen to me, didn't you?""What? What do you mean?" asked Victor in a protesting tone."You've always wished that my father would dump me so that what you said would prove to be true, that he had always intended to dump me and he's actually doing it now. Congratulations, everything is going your way."Victor gave Violet a sharp look, holding her back as she was about to leave. "Hey, what's wrong with you, why are you blaming me?""Because of you! All because of you!" Violet snapped. "You're always trying to make me believe th
Victor came back in after being out for a while. He sighed, and Violet watched him walk in with a haggard face.Violet didn't ask any questions until Victor sat down on the couch and faced her."I talked to the manager and she said that if your room has been rented for another," Victor said, "there are no more floors left in this apartment for you to live on."Violet looked disappointed."She said that as soon as you decided to stop renting, someone else rented it.""I'm not surprised, there must be a lot of people who want to live in a luxury apartment like this."Victor didn't respond to that and said, "I'll find another apartment for you, maybe one near the office.""Can I have this?" asked Violet, making Victor stop as he was about to leave."What do you mean?""I've made a lot of mistakes that have upset you, but you're still being nice to me. I feel like I don't deserve your kindness.""You're not that bad," Victor retorted, "after all, what I'm doing isn't like alms from a sain
Dylan got Victor on the phone. He was in the middle of a new jewelry production and he wanted to discuss some processes with Victor. If only Dylan could drop by the office."Hey, Vic, are you at the office?" asked Dylan, greeting Victor but Victor sounded like he was moving in a hurry."It's Sunday," Victor replied."So? There are no holidays in making money, right?""I've been making it since I started this company."Dylan sighed as Victor went back to being cocky. But Dylan knew Victor didn't mean it."Do you have something to say?" Victor asked."Yeah... I'd like to talk about a few production-related things.""Is there a problem? Are you short of materials?""No... the stock is still very plentiful and good. The delivery process wasn't disappointing either, I just wanted to talk to you directly and exchange ideas. Are you busy?""Ah... yes. I'm going to the gym.""What? Gym?"Dylan was a little surprised."Now you've started going to the gym regularly?""Yes... I'm on a fitness pr
Victor was stunned by Vander's words.The well-built man stood in front of Victor and said, "We can arrange the training schedule later. I know you're a busy businessman right now."After saying that with a cold face, Vander picked up his bag and left the gym.Victor still couldn't believe that Vander was willing to help him. The idea Violet had given him was crazy, but it seemed like the woman was satisfied with the result, as if she had predicted it."I'm sure Vander would say that," Violet said, smiling happily and looking proud.Victor, meanwhile, was staring at Violet with a furrowed brow. "You think this is a good idea?" Victor asked."Of course, why not? Vander is so good at fitness; don't you see how healthy he is?" Victor didn't answer, but he didn't seem to agree either. Until Violet put her arm around his taller shoulders, "He knows better than you what's good for your body to eat and do, and you'll definitely reach your goals more than you can imagine."Victor remained sil
After discussing it together, Vander and Victor started their fitness training the next day. They met at the Athens Club and Vander began to teach Victor what exercises he could try, tips on how to minimize injury, as well as the best nutrition for Victor's body.To be honest, at first, Victor found it very difficult to follow the training and healthy lifestyle that Vander taught him. How could he not? Victor was not a big eater, but in the diet program, Victor was required to eat every 3 hours, and even then with very healthy food that Victor wasn't used to eating."Huft... I feel like I'm going to spit out my food again," Victor said as he sat down to rest after more than three hours of training. Their training hour was over now. "It's already the 5th day since I trained with Vander. I've gotten used to it but as for that overly healthy food, it's like I still need to get used to eating that food for three months to like it. This tongue is already very familiar with the taste of jun
Sunday night was the perfect time to party. As he had planned, Victor held a barbecue party on the roof of his spacious apartment with a swimming pool."Is everything ready?" Victor asked Violet as she getting ready, her bikini showing off her sexy body.Victor was surprised; he had never seen a woman in a bikini from such a close distance."Hey, what were you thinking? Why are you wearing something like that?" Victor asked, making Violet turn around and look at him in confused."Is there something wrong?""Why wear such a sexy bikini? Did you think we were going to the beach?""It's a summer barbecue party on the rooftop of an apartment with a large swimming pool, do you think I'll wear a dress?""But isn't this a bit much?"Violet sighed, then walked to Victor. "It's just your feelings because you're not used to seeing women in bikinis. Besides, didn't you see me in that sexy costume in Manchester? Just act like a man, dude!"Violet ran a hand through Victor's blond hair and passed
