Joana had never experienced difficulties like this in making decisions. Getting a week's time from a client also doesn't mean the position is safe at the moment. Within that one week, he also had to prepare for the possibility of additional employees. That is if he decides to work on that game.That day was hard for Joana, so when she got home from work she intended to go to a cafe to relax her mind. Obviously something like this couldn't just leave his mind.As Joana headed to the parking lot, she met Bill. The man greeted him. "Are you going home yet?"“Yeah, but I want to go somewhere first.”Bill realized that the tired look on Joana's face explained everything. "Where are you going?"The woman took a deep breath. Suddenly he changed his mind. "You want to come with me?"Bill ordered drinks for the two of them. At the table, Joana was seen looking seriously out the window. Bill cleared his throat softly to interrupt."Are you still thinking about that project?" Bill asked opening
Joana waited for a long time for Bill, who did not come after getting a call. I don't know who he was talking to, but it took so long that Joana got bored. Her drink on the table was already gone and Bill hadn't returned yet. On the other hand, Bill was still undecided about the offer. Jonathan's requirements were not easy. Until now, Bill had not gotten used to his changed last name. The fact that he was the heir of a wealthy family in this city, until the moment when he was appointed to be the head of the Rainer family's large company. It was all still like a dream. "Bill, what about my offer?" Jonathan's voice brought Bill's reverie to an end. He raised one hand and rubbed his forehead while exhaling heavily. Bill knew that he wouldn't be able to escape the Rainer family either. On the one hand, he needed his father's help with the problems at Zigga Company."I think I need some time to decide." That was Bill's decision for now. He felt that he needed to discuss this with Joana
At first Joana thought Bill was joking. A joke that could ruin her emotional and happy mood due to the fact that he had met her biological family. However, she had never seen Bill joke with such a serious face. A tone of voice and body language that Joana somehow thought would seem excessive if it was just a joke. There was a long silence between them, until Bill spoke up again. "You can't believe it, can you?" Bill smiled sadly. "I can understand, but that's all I can honestly say about what's happening to me right now.""No, I was just thinking." Joana replied."What are you thinking about?" Bill asked."That must be hard for you," Joana said with a sigh.Bill looked into Joana's eyes spontaneously. He didn't expect to get an answer like that. "You know, meeting a family that you thought didn't exist. Or at least we think that they never wanted us in this world." As someone who has been unlucky like Bill, Joana understands that feeling. "Then, all of a sudden, they show up with al
After a long discussion with Bill, the next day Joana had everything ready for a meeting with the staff. Proclaiming her decision to take on the mega project and start work as soon as possible.Before that, Joana called the representative of her client to convey her willingness. "That's right. We've decided to take on this project." There was a smile of excitement that Joana could no longer contain. More than anyone else, she really wanted this project to go according to her instructions. "Alright. I'll pass it on to the boss." The client representative replied."Thank you and before that, you can prepare the agreement letter." Joana was not usually this patient. "Yes, I mean the sooner the better. Don't worry, we've prepared everything thoroughly." While Joana was on the phone with the overseas client's representative, Bill was beside her. The man felt the same happiness as Joana. Of course he was happy, because it turned out that having a family with more or less privileges made
"What do you mean?" Ryan asked with an unhappy expression. He tried to sit up with difficulty. Jonathan who saw that tried to help his father. Meanwhile, Bill was still determined to stick to his will. The fact that Julie and Diana had not returned to the mansion until now was because of Bill. Who knew how those two women would feel when they found out that Bill would be officially recognized by the public as the heir to the Rainer family? He couldn't imagine how angry they would be."Bill, don't complicate things. You already agreed to be part of this family, you agreed to your own decision!" There was no longer a gentle look behind his firmness. Ryan began to be overwhelmed by the anger Bill had invited."I know, Grandpa. But, what about the two of them? Don't you think about them? Aren't they still part of this family? Mrs. Julie was also Grandpa's favorite daughter-in-law all along, right?" Bill said."You dare boss me around, huh?!" snapped Ryan in a husky voice. This was follow
The conversation didn't last too long, but for some reason it made quite an impression. Jonathan didn't usually talk about his feelings, let alone at such length. Bill felt like he was really his son. Technically, Bill was the man's biological son, but in terms of his role, it was clear that he was still very far away--or rather Bill felt that there was still a distance that might be due to their past history. Bill said goodbye to Jonathan to go home. "I'll talk to your grandfather about this later," Jonathan told Bill. "But, don't expect more. You know how stubborn your grandfather is." Just hearing that made Bill feel good. At least Jonathan shared some of his views. "All right, Dad. Thank you," Bill said.Afterward, Bill actually left the mansion. He returned to his apartment late at night. In his apartment room, Bill was still thinking about the conversation with Julie and Diana. Bilk understood that Jonathan's intention was only to share his feelings of longing for the two
Julie's cursing voice attracted the attention of several people who passed by them. Bill felt his stomach twist and wanted to disappear right now. However, he realized that this kind of swearing was not the first time in his life. He'd gotten a lot of abuse from people he even loved in the past. Bill's throat felt dry. He wanted to retaliate, but there wasn't a single word he could get out even with his mouth open. Julie was probably right, Bill should never have come to the Rainer family. In fact, he didn't-Bill was forced to come by Ryan, even in an unethical way. "You know what? Your existence is a disaster for me and my son! It's enough that your mother took my husband in the past! Enough of that dead woman making my past a hell for me!" Julie was still cursing Bill at will.Bill clenched his hands into fists. It was very painful, but he didn't know what to do now. Should he apologize? But Bill couldn't figure out where he went wrong. Was the fact that his mother was a home wrec
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Julie, who had been reluctant to look at the man, now had a worried look in her eyes. It was a natural reaction that could not be hidden even though anger had previously enveloped. "What did you say?" Diana asked to make sure.Bill dropped his gaze down, staring at the floor he was standing on. "I can't be sure how Grandpa is doing right now." Bill wasn't exactly lying, as he hadn't had a chance to ask Jonathan about it. "I hope he's doing well now."Julie clenched her hands into fists. She looked the other way so that the puddle of tears in her eyes would not be noticed by Bill. Julie did harbor great anger and disappointment towards Ryan, but that didn't mean her sympathy and compassion had completely eroded. After all, she had lived with her father-in-law for more than thirty years, and she had been treated well and loved like a daughter. Julie's departure from the mansion was not out of hatred, but rather a sense of disappointment that she h
