People walked quickly into the Emerald Corp building because they didn't want to be late. Andre looked up at the tall building with a big smile. He had come to the company just to try his luck. Little did he know that there he would meet William who promised to give him a job. He walked into the building with a smile on his face, then made his way to the receptionist since he couldn't pass through the flap barrier gate without a card."Good morning, can I help you?" the receptionist asked.Andre tapped his fingers on the reception desk and raised one eyebrow, giving him a haughty look. "I'm Andre Bellard. I'd like to see William Smith because I have an appointment." He moved his face forward and covered the side of his mouth and whispered, "I'm his friend."The receptionist looked at Andre with a forced smile. She certainly wouldn't believe that William had a friend like Andre. The shirt Andre was wearing was worn out and from a cheap brand. How could a big company owner be friends wi
William gulped as he gazed in awe at the interior of his private jet. He had never even been on a commercial airplane. This was his first time on a plane.William was born in Bergin City, and the furthest place he had ever been was New Eden City, where he now lives. It was a two-hour subway ride from Bergin City to News Eden City.At that time, William sat in a seat on one of the decks right next to the airplane window. He fastened his seatbelt as instructed by the cabin attendant before the plane took off. His hands clung tightly to the soft seat cushion as he tensed up after hearing the pilot's announcement that the plane departing from Edenshire International Airport for Crimson Land International Airport was about to take off. According to the information, the air journey would last for six hours without transit."The trip to White Island is quite long, about six hours. Are you sure you want to start working as soon as you get there?" asked Noah.William, who was tense as the plan
Tom opened his eyes wide to stare at the man who had just walked into the meeting room. He shook his head, unable to believe his vision. He turned to Selena who was also looking at him. The man who had just come in was the same William who had caught him cheating on Selena in a cramped old apartment bed. It was impossible."Wait a minute, why are you here?" Tom stood up and asked William in a loud voice. "This place is not a place that someone like you can enter."The meeting participants looked at Tom in astonishment because they knew that the man standing before them was the William Smith they wanted to work with.Gregori, who couldn't accept his master being insulted, jumped to his defense, "Who do you think you're talking to? He's Mr. William Smith who will be judging your presentations in person and will choose who gets to partner with Emerald Corp."Tom was frozen in place, wishing someone could snap him out of his stupid dream. How could that poor man be the owner of Emerald Co
William raised his feet on the terrace handrail with his back leaning against the chair. The golden brown liquid in the glass he held swayed as he shook the glass. His gaze was fixed on the beach behind his villa, but he did not notice the beauty of the twilight as the sun was about to return to its lair. His mind was filled with the pleasure he had just had in meeting Selena and Tom face to face."Hahaha," his laughter echoed. One hand held his cramping stomach as she couldn't contain his laughter. "This is so much fun," he said after her laughter stopped.His head looked up at the darkening sky. He started daydreaming about his next revenge. At the very least, he had to make those two people feel the humiliation that he felt back then. However, what would he repay them with? Even though he was now rich, it didn't mean he could look down on Tom who was the son of a well-known company owner."Babe!" called Noah who was only wearing a white bathrobe.William, who was deep in thought ab
Part 18"I didn't expect you to come. You were busy, but you made time to come to my party. I'm so happy," Britney said after releasing her hug with Noah."I happened to be on vacation on the island with my boyfriend, so I was able to attend."Britney's gaze finally fell on William. "Oh, it turns out you have a new boyfriend. I heard you attended the charity event with your new boyfriend, but I didn't know he was this hot."William gave Britney a friendly smile. He really didn't expect that he could be around famous models that he used to only see in magazines. He got to know Britney briefly, before becoming a listening ear to Noah and Britney's conversation about the fashion week they would be attending together. Sometimes she would just reply with a small nod and a short answer when the two women nearby spoke to him. He didn't understand anything they were saying, let alone about fashion. He didn't even know the brand of clothes he herself wore."I wouldn't have guessed that he's a
"F*ck!" shouted Tom as he threw the glass of alcohol he was holding.The sound of the glass shattering was loud enough to make Selena, who was sitting on the sofa not far from Tom, jump in surprise. She turned to Tom who seemed to be in an emotional state."That poor man is William Smith? That makes no sense! How is it that in just a few weeks he has suddenly become the owner of Emerald Corp. No matter how much I think about it, it's impossible!" hissed Tom with his teeth chattering in anger.Tom had both hands on his waist. The three buttons of his shirt were undone and his sleeves were rolled up. He turned to Selena whose mind was wandering to the thought of William. Tom's eyes squinted, trying to guess Selena's thoughts. Although he couldn't read minds, he knew that she was thinking about William. He quickly grabbed Selena's hair and pulled her up."Damn it!" snapped Tom.Selena held Tom's hand that was pulling her hair, trying to get free. "Ouch, that hurts, Tom!" she whimpered."
"Andre, are you sure William will give me a job?" asked Steve.Andre nodded. "But, maybe just a small job like me. Even so, it pays much better than working in a restaurant."Such was the conversation between Steve and Andre when they accidentally met on the street a few days ago. Steve was dismissed from his job by his boss, Ronald, after he accidentally broke a plate with a customer's order. Now he is struggling to find a job because of the massive wave of immigration to Solberg, especially New Eden City, which is the largest industrial city. There are many job seekers, so competition is very high. For restaurant crew only, a command of a foreign language and a bare minimum-maximum age is a requirement. Steve, who had been working at the restaurant for a long time, could no longer apply for a job at another restaurant because his age had passed.That's why Steve made a face, enduring his embarrassment to come to the Emerald Corp building. He arrived early in the morning and waited i
William went home early that day. Yesterday's appointment with Mr. Pierre was canceled due to a fire in one of Bergin's districts that Mr. Pierre had to attend as a member of the House of Representatives. Since Mr. Pierre is going to continue his political career as a mayor in Bergin, he has to make campaign appearances.Fires are not a good thing because there are people who lose because of it. However, William couldn't deny that he felt a little grateful that the fire gave him a little time to practice golf, even though he wasn't at all familiar with the game."Gregori, have you sent any donations to the families affected by the fire?" asked William.Gregori nodded. "Yes, I did, sir. The mayor said that the fire victims are very grateful for your help. He said he hopes to host you if you visit Bergin as a token of gratitude."William, who was buttoning his polo shirt, nodded slowly. "You have scheduled a visit to Bergin, haven't you?""You will be visiting Bergin next week with the
