"We need to explain everything to the mayor immediately. If he gets angry and cancels the project just like that, especially with a bad impression like this, then Zigga Company will lose a lot," Bill said.Joana nodded in agreement. She quickly dismissed the meeting at the office, then tried to contact the mayor to discuss the fate of the game project they were working on.At first, the mayor was reluctant to meet Joana because he was already disappointed, but Joana persisted in asking for a meeting. Eventually, the mayor agreed to meet in a private restaurant."I'm sorry for the inconvenience, sir. It's all so unexpected," Joana said, starting their conversation. Of course, Bill was there to accompany her to meet with the mayor, as he had been with her from the start."To be honest, I was really disappointed to see that the game you were working on had already been released and claimed by another company. I gave this project to Zigga Company because I really believe in Ms. Joana and
Bill watched Joana stirring her drink with a straw. Since then the woman had only been silent while sighing several times, as if there was a heavy burden that was so heavy in her heart. Even though it was Joana who asked to meet alone with Bill to talk about something, but there seemed to be no intention for Joana to start the conversation."What's wrong, Jo? It seems like there's something you want to talk about, but don't want our other friends to hear?" Bill asked."Yes, you're right." Joana replied with a harsh exhale. "Earlier, I had a hard time consulting with our legal team. From everything that happened, we can conclude that someone leaked the game framework to an outside party. And only the five of us have access to the game framework. Me, you, Lee, Ronie and Ginna."Bill was silent for a moment, trying to digest what Joana had just said."Does that mean that one of us is the one who leaked the skeleton of the game?" asked Bill still fumbling a bit.Joana nodded with a regret
Joana massaged her temples as she lay back on the bed. She had just taken some headache medication, but it didn't seem to be enough to stop the throbbing in her head. The situation was getting dizzying. Negative public opinions were starting to emerge, making Zigga Company's position even worse.Another headache for Joana was the possibility that one of her comrades-in-arms was the mastermind behind this whole mess. To be honest, Joana hadn't prepared her heart for that. But as soon as possible, she had to find the source of the problem and fix it, no matter if it meant losing someone who meant a lot to her. A moment later, Joana grabbed her cell phone and monitored the developments outside. So far, the news about the game made by Zigga Company was still limited to the pros and cons, which meant that the public had not completely lost faith. It's just that, if it's not resolved quickly and no evidence is found if Zigga Company is actually cheated, it's not impossible that everyone w
The top brass of Zigga Company are currently gathered in the boardroom. They are discussing the steps to be taken in dealing with the serious problems that the company is currently facing. The initial discussion was about the possibility of someone leaking the game framework to a competing company."But who would dare leak our company secrets to another company? I really can't get over the fact that there are wolves in sheep's clothing in this big project." One of the investors spoke up. His eyes stared intently at the whole room.Joana shook her head slowly. She didn't have an answer to Ginna's question either. Right now, anyone could be the culprit, but the most suspected were certainly the people who had the authority to access the game framework. Ginna, Lee and Ronie. Those three people actually have the potential to be the perpetrators. Although Joana still prioritizes the presumption of innocence because she doesn't want to just accuse."If it's like this, it's the same as our h
"I'm confused, Bill ...." Joana muttered softly as she looked at Bill with an unusual look on her face.Bill sighed harshly. The man then looked away from the window, staring at the hustle and bustle of the Arden city streets at night."I don't know which cowardly human dared to do this. I really can't understand why one of us would do this, when we worked so hard to start Zigga Company together." Joana added.Bill seemed to think for a moment, digesting the sentence that Joana had just said. Previously, when Joana first told him the possibility that the perpetrator who leaked the game framework was one of the three friends they trusted, there was a kind of conflict in Bill's heart. It was as if his heart refused to believe. However, now it all seemed possible. Sometimes there are people who don't hesitate to cross the line for money."I didn't want to believe at first, but anything can happen. Although so far there's nothing suspicious about Lee, Ronie and Ginna." Bill replied."Yes,
Bill gave Jonathan a probing look. He was honestly a little worried that his biological father would betray him. But the more Bill looked at the face of the middle-aged man who resembled him, the more his heart told him that Jonathan was sincere in helping him."I know you must be wondering whether I can be trusted or not. Even though I didn't have a hand in raising you, even though I was a bad father in your eyes, I'm also a human being with regrets and maybe it's time for me to atone for my sins against you and Bella," Jonathan explained when he saw Bill's hesitation to trust him.When Julie and Diana did leave the main residence of the Rainer family. At that moment, Jonathan began to realize what he had been doing all along. Even he was just a tool in the guise of Ryan's only offspring in order to maintain the RN Group's position until now.Enough of what Jonathan had been through in his life. Jonathan doesn't want to be his father's puppet anymore. From now on, Jonathan will oppos
Zigga Company officials held a massive and open meeting with all their employees. Not only the people involved in the game project but also all employees, including security and cleaning service."First of all, I would like to apologize to all of you, because of my carelessness as a superior who did not audit properly, our company got into big trouble like this." Joana opened her voice, although it was hard for the woman to go through all this, but she was a leader who had full rights over her workers."As the founder of Zigga Company, I can say that what is happening is not true, and neither the company nor the people I work with have committed any fraud. We have never copied anyone else's ideas. I don't know how and when it all happened because the idea we used for the project with the mayor of Arden was purely our own idea that we had agreed on. For some reason, Mirror Company released the exact same game that we prepared and directly patented the rights to the game." Joana spoke h
Bill said goodbye to his friends to go home first. Ever since hearing that one of them was a traitor, Bill's feelings had been mixed."Do you want to come, Jo?" Bill asked.However, Joana shook her head. Her heart refused to leave the Zigga Company building. Even when Bill and the others had gone home, Joana was still there by herself."I'm sure that I can definitely get the culprit! I will restore Zigga Company's good name again." Joana was determined, from the beginning until this moment there was no sign of giving up in her.Meanwhile inside his apartment unit, Bill was sitting on the chair he usually used for work. The eyes of the man who wore a casual suit could not be separated from the monitor screen. I don't know how many times he had scrutinized every piece of evidence sent by Jonathan."Ginna," Bill hissed with a frustrated sigh.Ginna was a fierce girl who had a hard time getting along with other people out there. Ginna was also one of the people who had an important role i
