As a form of celebration for successfully securing investors, Joana invited all her employees to have dinner together at a restaurant located not far from the office. It was not a fancy dinner because the restaurant chosen was not a starred restaurant. That's because Zigga Company is still in the pioneering stage. But that did not make the atmosphere bland. The warmth was felt even though the dinner was simple.

"Thank you to Bill who has helped so much lately. Zigga Company owes him a lot," Joana said during her short speech.

Everyone applauded, while Bill just nodded and smiled awkwardly as he sipped his drink. He didn't really like being the center of attention like this, but what could he do? There was no way he was going to ruin the atmosphere by speaking out. Joana also seemed to be very happy, so Bill didn't have the heart to argue with her.

"Cheers to Bill and the Zigga Company." Lee raised his soft drink can and invited everyone to make a toast. Everyone cheered and the atmosp

    After the dinner together the other day, it's back to business as usual. Zigga Company and its employees were busy finishing work on a spectacular game that would be launched in conjunction with the country's annual gaming festival. Everything was going normally, but not for Bill and Ginna.Because of Marisa's actions that night, the two of them were thought to be in a real relationship by all the office employees. Many teased when they accidentally bumped into each other, especially during lunch at the office cafeteria. Bill and Ginna were treated like a newlywed couple. Of course, it was very embarrassing for both of them.On the bright side, Marisa no longer tried to bother Bill or Ginna. But on the other hand, Bill felt that Joana was also starting to keep her distance from him. Maybe because Joana thought that Bill now had a girlfriend, so he shouldn't be close to other women, even if it was just a friend who doubled as a boss."Hi, Jo." That morning, Bill greeted Joana who had j

    "There seems to be a misunderstanding that I need to clear up here." Bill finally said after a few moments of silence."Misunderstanding?" Joana frowned slightly."Yes, Ginna and I weren't dating as Marisa said. We were forced to admit to being a couple in front of many people precisely because of Marisa," Bill said."Yes?" Joana had a look of incomprehension on her face.Bill finally told Joana what really happened. The reason why he pretended to be dating Ginna was none other than because Marisa's declaration of love was so sudden and also seemed like forcing herself. Bill also said that initially Ginna only took the initiative to help Bill so that Marisa would not continue to pressure him. Unexpectedly, Marisa even said in front of everyone if Bill and Ginna were dating. Of course, there was no chance to tell the truth, because it meant that Marisa was going to push Bill to accept her feelings again."That's what it looks like," Joana half-mumbled after listening to Bill's explana

  • I'm Not Trash   Day of Launch

    The day that Joana and all the employees of Zigga Company had been waiting for had finally arrived. Along with the start of the game festival in the country, Zigga Company also released an unprecedented survival game. A game that not only offers the sensation of adventure, but also has some other elements added.The first day of release, the game has stolen a lot of attention. Although many such games have previously appeared, but still the presence of this one survival game is like a breakthrough. Many unexpected things are presented in the game, making people who play it always get surprises that were never there before.Suddenly the game went viral, even though it was just launched. Maybe it's because of the effect of heavy advertising before the launch. Within the first hour after launch, more than one person had installed the game. The numbers continued to grow as time went on. It was certainly unexpected, far beyond expectations."Congratulations, Jo. Our game has now been insta

Zigga Company's game was installed by over a hundred million users in just one month. Something that had never happened before.The investors came. Offers of cooperation came from various directions, making Joana a little overwhelmed. At the same time, Joana also received an award as the most inspiring woman today. In a short period of time, Zigga Company became the most popular game-making company in the country. No doubt offers to become a guest speaker came to Bill, a figure known to people as a person who has a big hand in the success of the game-making company, although of course Bill has not accepted any of these offers.The following month, Joana managed to sign a big project in collaboration with a state-owned company. Zigga Company was asked to create several games for educational purposes, ranging from educational games for children, teenagers, and the elderly.

    Zigga Company is now entering a new phase. After officially occupying a new building as its headquarters, its officials were also formalized. Now the company can no longer be called a small company and has been aligned with other leading game-making companies.The second month of occupying the new headquarters, Zigga Company also inaugurated a dormitory building for its employees. Of course, the dormitory is much nicer and bigger than the previous dormitory. The facilities are also much more complete. Now all Zigga Company employees get decent living facilities. As for the higher-ups who were people who contributed to Zigga Company, they got quite luxurious apartment facilities, still in the same area as the new Zigga Company building.Joana herself had sold her old apartment and chose to live in one of the apartment rooms for company officials. This was because her old apartment was located in an area quite far from the current Zigga Company office.That morning, Joana left her apart

  • I'm Not Trash   What Joana feels

    Joana's secretary immediately welcomed Bill and escorted him into the room. The young woman also quickly served Bill a glass of tea and a plate of biscuits. If that had been done, the discussion between Bill and Joana would have taken a while."Please wait outside. I have something to discuss with Mr. Bill alone." Joana asked her secretary and Bill's secretary to leave the room.Without waiting for a second order, the two young women left the room."I think there's something very important you want to talk to me about," Bill later told Joana."Right, there's something important I want to talk about, but it's not something I need to get the two of them out of my office," Joana replied.Bill frowned a little as if he didn't understand."It's been a while since we've talked like friends, Bill," Joana said as she sat down on the sofa that Bill was currently sitting on. For the first time since Zigga Company entered a new chapter, Joana could sit next to Bill like this again.Bill did not

    "I'm sorry if my behavior made you feel that way, Jo. I really didn't have any bad intentions." Bill apologized remorsefully."I know. You don't need to apologize." Joana replied quickly. She knew that her confession would make Bill feel very guilty. Joana didn't want Bill to blame himself too much."In the future, I want you to be formal only when we are in front of other people. I don't want to lose the only friend I trust," Joana continued.Bill was stunned for a moment, before finally nodding in agreement to Joana's request."Well, if you want it that way," Bill said.Joana's smile expanded, making Bill's heart even more overwhelmed by guilt. It had been a long time since he had seen his best friend's smile. Bill just didn't think that their friendship would mean so much to Joana. Bill thought there would be no effect at all even if they kept their distance from each other. That turned out to be wrong. For Joana, Bill was the only friend and family she had, so not talking to Bill

  • I'm Not Trash   Joana's Dream

    After the day Joana expressed how she felt about Bill's formal demeanor in all situations, Bill began to change. He no longer treated Joana in the same rigid manner as before. Bill only behaved formally when other people were present. The rest of the time, he treated Joana like a friend.It turns out that Joana is much more comfortable with Bill's attitude like that. She no longer felt lonely or alone, so there was no need to see a psychiatrist. I don't know what developed because some Zigga Company employees had caught Bill and Joana joking with each other. Bill just hoped it wouldn't be bad for Joana's reputation. "Mr. Bill, clear your schedule this afternoon, I want to take you to an invitation." Joana told Bill when they both arrived at the office that morning.Joana spoke formally because there were currently many employees who saw them walking together."To an invitation? My secretary didn't tell me this before." Bill responded."I also just got the invitation this morning. Thi

    Finally

    Everyone went back to their busy lives. Bill spends most of his days on the company. He no longer controlled it, but it was the kind of responsibility Bill had taken on when Ryan was alive. Under Jonathan's leadership, RN Group survived the threat of trouble that had been brewing for some time. About the betrayal of three big families, as well as the abandonment of a very influential person, Ryan Rainer. It's possible that these issues triggered a rift in the connections between shareholders. There was also the small matter of investors' lack of confidence in Jonathan because Ryan himself had never directly mentioned the change of power.No problem, Jonathan thought at the time. He faced it all with the perspective that these problems were challenges that would one day make his position stronger and more recognized. And he did get that. Not only that, Jonathan has made a huge contribution to RN Group. The company has flourished and managed to rise above the threat of yesterday's tro

    Marriage proposal for Joana

    Before Joana could say a single word, Bill rushed over and hugged her tightly. Joana could only freeze with a suddenly blank mind. Bill hugged Joana for a long time as if he was unaware of what was happening around him. The people in the hall seemed quite surprised by the romantic situation. "Oh my God, why are they that cute?" Ronie, who was originally about to approach Bill, suddenly retreated again and now tears of emotion came out at the end of her eyes. It wasn't just Ronie, Lee and Ginna looked emotional seeing the couple. While the other employees were still dumbfounded by Bill's sudden arrival and the romantic moment without warning."Are you okay?" asked Joana while tightening the hug because Bill gave no sign of letting go. The question wasn't just an idle one, of course. Joana had been following the news about Rainer's family, the RN Group and everything. Joana wondered what if she was still in contact with Bill at that time and might be a hindrance or trouble to Bill.

    A Turning Point

    The funeral went smoothly. Compared to most funerals where there is a lot of crying, the Rainer family's home was quieter and quieter. This did not mean that there was no sadness and loss, but rather that their gazes showed a stifling emptiness. Diana cried all night after hearing Jeremy's confession. Ryan wasn't that bad and he loved his family very much, it's just that the way Ryan did it wasn't justifiable. Diana felt lost and regretful, though she wasn't sure what she regretted. If only her grandfather could have spoken frankly to her or the others, maybe Diana wouldn't have had time to hate Ryan.However, all of this was Ryan's choice for the good of the Rainer family. Diana, as well as the others, could only accept this fact."I didn't expect you to go this far." Julie let out a long breath. She had heard a lot about what had happened. Between shock and deep sorrow. Heading to the cemetery, Julie and Diana walked hand in hand dressed in all black. Bill and Jonathan were in fro

    The Passing of Ryan

    Bill felt that he was only dreaming. He had just arrived with the antidote he had managed to get from the Salomon family. He drove as fast as he could, running red lights, speeding down the highway as fast as he could. The only thing Bill feared was his late arrival, and that was exactly what happened. Bill was late.Bill's body refused to show how he was feeling at the moment. Even Bill didn't know what to do, what reaction he should give to this astonishing news. The doctor was still busy checking Ryan's condition, as if they were trying to confirm the condition and try to restore the old man's consciousness. Nevertheless, the screen showing Ryan's vital organ activity had stopped, giving rise to a deafening buzzing sound.Bill and the others were outside the room, watching from the window with a mixed feeling. Minutes passed and nothing had changed in Ryan's condition. The doctor stopped his efforts. That's when the family members entered. Bill went first, while Diana followed and

    Salomon's Poison Antidote

    The indebtedness that entangled the Rainer family business in the past was the beginning of the three extended families' relationship with the Rainer family, especially the Salomons. During that difficult time, the Rainer family asked the Salomons for help to protect their business from interference from others."How ignorant!" cursed the head of the Salomon family, who was currently behind bars. The man and his two colleagues looked frustrated. Various parties including their lawyers have been contacted, but no one knows what will happen to them. "The Rainer family should have had the courage to do this to us!" Marson growled with pent-up emotion. "It's all because of that damn kid!" Family patriarch Edmund cursed Bill repeatedly. "We should have just shot him in the head and even if we ended up in jail, at least one of them would have died! We're in jail anyway."The head of the Salomon family exhaled harshly. Although in reality it was the Salomons who had taken advantage of thei

    Arrested

    "What the hell?" shouted the head of the Edmund family. He looked hysterical as armed troops came from the opposing side. They all wore protective vests and police insignia that were familiar to his eyes."Are we being set up?" The head of the Marson family stared in disbelief as his hands were handcuffed. "Asshole! Let go! Hey, what are you guys doing?" Meanwhile, Family Head Salomon was still trying to escape. The look in his eyes was full of wrath. He was trying to escape the clutches of the special forces. "No! Let go!" He even pointed the gun that was originally embedded in his coat. However, it was clear that the special forces could easily incapacitate him. The heads of households of three families had been secured. However, this chaotic situation was still hard for them to believe. The troops that arrived were so numerous, they were no match for the number of the three families' men. The joint police team consisted of dozens of snipers and skilled fighters who raided the pl

    Siege at The Salomon Family Headquarters

    Bill felt a pain in his chest as a kick went off. His head was still wrapped in the black bag, making it difficult for him to breathe. Another blow hit him in the face. There was definitely a bruise on Bill's face. Jonathan felt the same way. His body was still lying on the cement floor with dust now dirtying his black suit. He was stepped on, kicked repeatedly and mercilessly. Until he felt a shod foot slam into the side of his face, knocking him back to the floor. Bill tried to stay conscious because Diana was among them. He had no idea that Diana would be included in this mission. "Bastard!" Bill cursed, but no one heard him. He was worried that his sister was an easy target for these rotten criminals. "Diana!" shouted Bill who, despite trying to make his voice as loud as possible, could only make incoherent mumbles, like a delirious sleeper. Diana was half-awake. She received a hard slap as she was sat on a wooden chair with her hands tied. As soon as the black bag covering h

    The Awaited Day

    In the end, Bill, Jonathan and Diana had come up with a plan that would be used to counter the evil plans of the three big families. After that, Bill went back to work as usual as if nothing had happened. So did Jonathan and Diana. They moved in their respective places without showing any attention at all to the three big families, there was only Bill who occasionally met with his enemy in the meeting room or simply crossed paths with one of them.Occasionally Bill would also engage in conversation with them, and as of now Bill was dealing with two people, one from the Salomon family and the other the Marson family. "Look, it looks like you're getting comfortable in this place." The Marson family member quipped with a dismissive smile. "Did your actions yesterday already make you feel like a hero?" This time it was the Salomon family members who spoke.The auditing people were still conducting checks, but it was clear that the three big families were currently becoming a byword as t

    There's only One Week

    Jonathan frowned, still not understanding Ryan's sudden behavior. He knew the meaning of the object now in his hand. "Dad, what's going on? Why did you give me our family seal?" Jonathan asked with a frown. "Because now you are the owner." Ryan said. "What does that mean?" Jonathan still didn't understand. If power had been transferred, it must not have been for something trivial. Ryan had never talked about this before either. What was going through Ryan's mind was completely out of Jonathan's reach. "My condition does not allow me to continue to be in the company and take care of this family." Ryan held back the pain that throbbed in his chest. "All the problems in the company I can't handle anymore, and neither can this family." "I know you're sick, but haven't you been able to handle it all this time? There's Jeremy who always helps you, right?" Jonathan still demanded further explanation. "Is my old age not enough of an excuse for you?" he asked with a flat look in his eyes.
