“Ma'am!” Leya approached the manager and supported her to stand up. “Are you alright? You seemed like who just saw a ghost and frightened.”“I-I'm alright, Leya...”She looked at Isidore with her horrified eyes. She couldn't believe the small paper on her hand. Because it is no other than the receipt of one hundred thousand dollars! Suddenly a group of people rushing down towards the cashier with confused and startled face.“Who is it?” the guy in black suit asked. He seems like the boss of them all.The junior manager felt fear upon seeing her boss in the scene.Jameson on Isidore's side chuckled as he said. “You're doom now. That's Deputy General Manager Greg. He will surely fracture your useless bone and drag you out away from this store.” As soon as the Deputy General Manager saw Jameson, he abruptly approached the Doctor and pushed aside Isidore who was standing on his way. “Doctor Jameson! It is an honor to have you here!” The General Manager held Jameson hand and repeatedly
Isidore was so shocked upon receiving the notification of 1 million dollars. He blinked, unable to process the surreal amount of numbers he received.'This mission will make me rich,' he thought to himself.“Uhm, s-sir? Should we proceed to the lounge? Or y-you'll settle your business first with my staff?”Isidore was pulled back to reality when Manager Greg talked. His brows furrowed, and coughed a little to calm himself, and he turned to the junior manager who gambled her job and her boyfriend's bank account.His head held high. Looking down, Isidore's condescending eyes met the arrogant manager who was kneeling in front of him. “So? The bet you risk, where is it now?”The junior manager trembled as she shook her head. Her palms were rubbing against each other as she was about to weep. "Please, please, please? I admit I was wrong. Spare me, please? I need this job. Please, I'm begging you.” She cried in front of everyone after she pleaded.Although she knew Isidore would hardly acc
“Quick! Move your lazy ass and get Mr. Isidore some ginger and lagundi leaves!” Greg ordered to his people, as he too was busy typing on his phone.After Isidore received another urgent mission from the unknown system in his head, he requested Greg for the certain herbal medicine he needed. Luckily, it's not hard to look for it because it's only common, including in the market. Or else he would probably be expecting death the moment he received the notification. Because who sane human being could prepare a medicine for 5 minutes without having the ingredients first? “Sir! We're out of stock for ginger.”Greg angrily glared at the man who reported to him. “You bastard! I will have you removed from the company if you can't find the ingredients within 3 minutes!”The man, who seems to be Greg's assistant, paled and nervously scurried away to look for the ingredients. He just witnessed the scene earlier, and he knew he too couldn't afford to lose his job. Because even though he saw Isi
Isidore was contemplating as he sat there on the sofa. He was silently meditating, and preparing himself for an unexpected urgent mission from the silly voice inside his head.Although he was very curious about the special gift, he still fears the thought of having another urgent mission that could result in death if not attended at the right time.If he die now, how would he get revenge? Who will then take care of his sister?Speaking of sister...It has been an hour since he left her in the apartment alone. Isidore quickly reached for his phone and gasped upon seeing the 30+ messages and 14+ missed calls from her. The drama earlier took his time, and now he has to deal with Iris' undending questions the moment he comes back.“Shi* I have to go,” he said, without taking a look at the people inside the lounge.Greg stood abruptly and went to Isidore. “Mr. Isidore! Are you going home now? H-How about the investment? How will I contact you? You're not backing out, right?” He was so ner
Isidore blinked from what he heard from the other line. He's not hearing it wrong, right? Divorce. For 5 years of marriage, he and his sister has not been able to enjoy life under that family's provision. He know he own them for the help they extended. But that doesn't give them the freedom to humiliate and belittle them. Also, it wasn't free. Isidore paid them very well from his hardwork in research. The White's family own a laboratory facility for researching herbal medicine. And Isidore contributed so much to these research. He knew he could earn more than his minimum wage from the Whites if he'll try to apply to other companies.Only if his sister was not ill. He would have quit his job from Whites family and hunt for another. But he could not afford to waste a day and wait for job interviews approval.And even if he would quit, he knew the White's will do everything to stop him from applying to other company. Therefore, for all the downgrade they received, a divorce would
Isidore went home with a light heart. He's so excited to share his foods to Iris. Even though Julia has just called for a divorce, he wasn't very much affected by it.After all, Julia granted him a freedom.“I'm home!” Isidore shouted gleefully the moment he entered their newly rented apartment. It's small and very basic. If compared to the White's house, Ceres apartment is nothing but a mere ant.“Brother!” Iris called with anticipation as she went to him. Isidore, with his full enthusiasm, placed the food he brought to the little dining table they have. He proceeded to take out each of the foods from the plastics and opened it. He was very keen to let Iris taste the delicious food he bought. He even had a chocolates from the grocery.But Iris seems like she has something to say. She loves food but she is unusual today and rather reacted nonchalant. Isidore furrowed his brows at his sister. “What is it, Iris?”Iris only bit her lower lip. As soon as she realized Isidore won't take s
The sound of the ambulance that keeps coming was the reason why outside of the hospital was full of fuss. There were dying and injured individuals pushed by the paramedics towards the entrance. Families are weeping and crying. Everyone was in their own state of emotion. While there in the corner, beside the huge concrete pillar, stands a man who was persistently trying to call his wife. Biting his nails in a nervous manner, Isidore Medici almost wept when the last call was still rejected. 'Please just fifty thousand!' he cried like his wife could hear his mind. When no response was initiated, throwing away shame and heavily carrying the last of his dignity, Isidore ran back inside the Hospital. He has come into resort of begging to the head of the cardiology department. He was in a desperate state just so her sister could have the scheduled operation today. “I promise I'll pay the needed amount. Just please...please have my sister undergo the operation while I gather the money.”
It was Jameson Roy, the head of the cardiology department. “They owed the hospital a huge amount of money. If you help them, I'll deduct all of your salary to 20%!” The Doctors were threatened by Jameson's words. It seems as if they forgot their Hippocratic Oath and step back from the dying patient in front of them.Isidore shook his head out of disbelief. Soon, crowds doubled and started gossiping and pointing. His sister's eyes weakly opened and tried to smile at him. “J-just l-let me go. Y-you must e-enjoy your l-life my d-dear b-b-brother...”“No. Don't say that please...”Isidore remembered how he and Iris had escaped with their mum from their country 15 years ago when Algoria was at war with Bergium. His grandparents and father died in the bomb attack. All of their family were badly injured.His mother was also awfully injured, but luckily, they escaped and came to Carreon and got settled as refugees at Clandver City. However, his mother didn’t make it due to severe injury
