After Nate and the restaurant owner finished talking in his room. They went out together. And were surprised to see Bella at the door of the room. Has been waiting for them to finish chatting.Nate frowned when he saw Bella's face which looked guilty at all for what happened earlier. She even smiled when she saw Nate and her boss leave the room."Bella, what are you doing here? Didn't I say I'd talk to you later?" her boss asked."Oh, sorry. I just feel bad about what happened earlier. I'm very guilty and would like to formally apologize to you and Nate," Bella said in a soft tone to her boss and Nate. She also bowed to Nate.Nate wondered why Bella immediately changed her attitude like this. Whereas earlier she still insisted that she was a thief and a nobody."Oh, really? That's good. You were wrong for treating him badly," said her boss."It was just a misunderstanding. I just wanted to tease him since we haven't seen each other in a while. But it seems like the guard thought diffe
In the morning, Erica immediately told her mother that the president of Bluebell Holdings had accepted her invitation to come to their family party. They were coming and it made Erica and her mother very happy. Upon hearing the news, Maria immediately hugged Erica very tightly. She screamed with happiness and laughter that could not escape her face.She felt so happy and proud of Erica for doing something so amazing. They had never even met and Erica could easily persuade the president of Bluebell Holdings to come to the party. Even though the President of Bluebell was a busy CEO and an important person. Who would not just randomly come to a party of people he didn't know? That proved that Erica was a special person in the eyes of the president of Bluebell Holdings."You did your best, Erica. And I'm very proud of you," Maria said as she held Erica's shoulders. She smiled broadly, looking at her only child with a proud gaze."Thank you, Moms." Erica smiled.She received another hug fr
After Nate also left the living room, he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for them. Actually, he wanted to meet with Erica first, but he didn't want to disturb Erica and let her work properly.Nate set all the ingredients on the table before he cooked with the other servants. Even though he was the son-in-law here, he was always told to do chores and he didn't feel embarrassed or protest at all.The other servants were also still nice to him even though everyone looked down on him. And that made Nate comfortable doing all the work.While Nate was busy cooking in the kitchen, Maria suddenly came and approached him."Do you need anything, Mom?" Nate asked politely. He immediately put down his knife and wiped his dirty hands on his apron."Nothing. Are you cooking?" she asked."Yes. I'm preparing the food. It's still over half an hour before dinner. I'll prepare it quickly. If you need anything, just tell me. I'll get it ready." Nate looked at Maria who continued to stand nearby. Sh
"Are you serious about what you're saying?” asked Nancy, making sure.Erica's devious plan of sleeping with President Bluebell made her sick. She felt very upset and envious. How could she get to know Bluebell's president and seduce him? Let alone sleeping together and getting that big project. She should have done the same thing to become superior to Erica. But she had never even met Bluebell's president in person. No one had ever seen his face.Even Erica had said herself that she had never met him, so she wanted to confirm if what Anthony said was true."Yes, of course. You think about it, how could someone like her get such a big offer if she didn't sell herself to Bluebell's president? I'm sure he set her up or just offered her body for a one-night stand. And what's even more disgusting is that we don't know if she's willing to be a prostitute who's ready to sleep with him whenever he needs to just to become the CEO," Anthony said with a harsh sentence. He was fed up and angry w
Today was a party hosted by Erica's family. Officials, businessmen, clients, and close relatives all came. The party was organized with great fanfare. In the center of the hall, which penetrated directly into the backyard that had been set up as well as possible, it was as luxurious as possible so that the people who came were mesmerized by the decoration of the party. Victoria even brought in a famous chef to prepare the food during the party.In addition, she did it to make President Bluebell feel honored by what she had prepared because today, she was the main character. Everyone was looking forward to seeing President Bluebell at the party.Some businessmen had even begged Erica's family they could come to the party, just to see what President Bluebell looked like all this time. They also wanted to see if they could get a new project by approaching the Bluebell president directly. Because so far, it has been very difficult for them to interact directly with him.Nate smiled widely
Nate was furious. He couldn't control his exploding temper. Roughly, he dragged Anthony out of the hall. He took him to the toilet and pushed his body roughly to the floor. He locked the door tightly. Making sure no one would enter or come there.His eyes sharpened as he looked at Anthony who was grimacing in pain. He was slumped on the floor, struggling to stand up with his fat body."Crazy bastard! What have you done?! How dare you come with me like this andー"Before he could finish his sentence, Anthony was shocked by a punch to his face. He screamed loudly when Nate's fist hit his cheek. He felt pain and soreness there. He fell back to the floor with his body hitting hard.Then without being able to do anything, and only grimacing in pain, Nate immediately fell on him. Giving him blow after blow as he pounded Anthony's face into a bloody pulp. He didn't let Anthony breathe.Anthony continued to moan, screaming in pain as he was beaten relentlessly. His hands were busy covering his
Erica looked around for Nate. She had been missing since the argument with Anthony earlier. Just then, Nancy's boyfriend arrived with his brother. They greeted her in a friendly manner, and her mother came over, also greeting him because since long ago, Maria had been very fond of Theo who was a rich garden businessman."Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen you, Theo. How are you?" asked Maria as she shook Theo's hand. Her smile bloomed like a rose. She would love to set Erica up with Theo if she could turn back time because they looked so good together."I'm fine. How are you?" asked Theo. He smiled gently at Maria, then glanced at Erica standing next to her mother. For a long time, Theo had also secretly harbored feelings for her. But because of the news of her marriage, he no longer had the opportunity to approach her."I'm good too. You still remember Erica, right?" Maria asked."Yes, of course. How could I forget a woman as beautiful as Erica? We haven't seen each other for
"Nate, I apologize for Theo's rudeness just now," Erica said when they were some distance from Theo. She felt guilty for Nate."It's okay. It's not your fault. You don't have to apologize, Erica." Nate smiled. He rubbed Erica's arm affectionately. "Already, don't think about it anymore. This is your celebration party as the new CEO, don't be sad just because of one insignificant person. Don't let him ruin your previously good mood," she continued."Um, I understand."At that time, they accidentally met Morgan who had just entered the aura. Erica immediately approached Morgan with a happy smile."Morgan, did you just arrive?" asked Erica enthusiastically. She hugged Morgan and he returned it."Yes, I just arrived. Am I late?" she asked Erica."No, you're not. The party hasn't even started yet.""Hello, Mr. Nate. We meet again," Morgan greeted Nate with a meaningful smile."Yes, we meet again. It's good to see you again," Nate said.Erica looked around and saw that Morgan had come alone
Elsewhere, Nate was still at Flo's house. They had just had breakfast together and Nate also told Flo all his complaints. He felt relieved because he had told all his problems so that now Nate felt a little lighter. Before Nate felt so sad and didn't know who to tell."Flo, I am very grateful that you have been a good listener for me. I haven't known who to tell my problems to, and I've always kept everything to myself without telling anyone. Because I didn't have any friends who could listen to my problems," Nate said."You're welcome, Nate. You can make me your confidant. You can come to me whenever you have a problem and you can tell me everything until you feel relieved. That way, your burden is a little lighter," Flo said as she patted Nate's arm a few times with a smile.Nate smiled too. He hugged Flo as a thank you. "And thank you for breakfast. Everything was delicious and you're a very good cook despite the injury to one hand. Your future husband will be very lucky to have a
That morning, Erica went to the office with Nick. They chatted all the way about work or something they would do again later, and about Nick taking Erica to lunch at the restaurant he had looked up earlier."I heard that restaurant is very famous for its delicious cuisine and good service," Nick told her, "but if you don't like it, we can find another restaurant for lunch later."Erica turned her head sideways to look at Nick. "That's okay. I have no problem with the restaurant you chose," she replied with a faint smile."Perfect!" Nick exclaimed in a very good mood that day.Erica and Nick Lawson finally arrived at the company. As they got out of the car and entered the lobby, everyone who saw them walking together felt that they looked very compatible. But they couldn't say that for fear that they would be fired.But the staff preferred Erica to be with Nick Lawson who was of the same level as Nate who had no job at all and was just a poor man. Compared to Nate, Nick Lawson was more
Nate was getting ready to go to his company, but before that, he would go to Flo's house to help her change the bandages on her head, and put medicated cream on Flo's hands and head. Nate was very happy that Flo's wounds were slowly getting better. It meant he had done a good job treating Flo.And he wanted to see Flo move her hand again so that she could do her activities without difficulty. And maybe, later Nate will help Flo to get some work that Flo can do so that Flo can regain her life that was destroyed during Flo's life. He had to work very hard to pay off all the debts owed by his uncle.Moreover, Flo was about to be sold at a women's auction. Nate will make sure Flo gets a better life after this. Get a good job, have a boyfriend, and then get married. Nate's only hope is to see Flo happy because she has been so kind and caring to Nate.Nate has considered Flo as his precious friend because Flo has been willing to listen to his complaints. They had an exciting time and Nate f
That morning, Erica woke up early because, at 5.30a AM, Nick Lawson would pick her up in front of the house to go to the office together. She got ready while Nate was still fast asleep in bed. Erica didn't intend to wake him up because he looked exhausted.She didn't want to disturb Nate's deep sleep and she intended to leave once she was ready. Erica sighed repeatedly because she felt that her day had been very boring lately. Coming home at night and leaving early in the morning just to work until she felt like her body was about to collapse from exhaustion.What's more, her relationship with Nate was on the rocks so she felt like half her enthusiasm had disappeared. If only their relationship wasn't deteriorating, Erica would have confided in Nate and at least it would have made her feel relieved to have told Nate all her problems.Because that's what Erica always did before their relationship fell apart. And Nate will provide support, encouragement and say everything will be fine w
Nate and Flo have dinner together. They looked so happy as they ate and talked about many things. Nate doesn't even feel embarrassed anymore when he talks about his relationship with his wife. And Nate felt that Flo was a good listener."I'm glad you're willing to be a good listener for me, Flo. Thank you," Nate said sincerely."It's okay, Nate. I'm glad you're willing to share your problems with me. At least it can ease your sadness. If you have any problems you're having or anything you're thinking about, you can tell me. I will listen to your every problem, Nate," Flo said with a smile. She wiped her lips because she felt some food residue sticking to them, but Nate quickly grabbed a tissue and gave it to Flo. It made Flo's heart flutter to be treated so sweetly by Nate."You too, Flo. If you have a problem you're dealing with or something that's bothering you. You can tell me right away. I'll be ready to help you," Nate said. smiling as Flo smiled at him and thanked him for bringi
Nate was really upset that day. He didn't even focus on work anymore after learning that Nick Lawson was the man who was with Erica in the photo. Nate didn't know how far their relationship had gone, but Nate had no idea that Erica was so close to this man named Nick that they could go out together until Nick Lawson opened the car door for her.A man would do something like that if he had a special relationship with a woman. Because it indicates that the man cares and cares about his woman.And every time Nate remembers the scene in the photo, he always feels upset and angry. Nate had to find out what their relationship was like and why Erica didn't tell him and lied to him about his work. While in reality, she was having fun spending time with Nick Lawson."Damn, this problem makes me dizzy so I'm not in the mood to do all my work today," Nate said to himself while slamming the document he had been checking before he signed it.He then looked at the time on the top right screen of hi
"Do you need me to find out more about these businessmen, Mr. Nate? So you can decide which companies are free from corruption. Because right now, it's hard to find a company that doesn't do anything dirty," Morgan suggested."Instead of doing that, I want to ask you something," Nate said. He looked at Morgan for a long time. He was confused about whether he should ask and tell Morgan about his relationship with Erica, which was currently on the rocks. It's been a few days, even more than a week they fought and Nate doesn't know what he should do to make their relationship better again.Morgan frowned in confusion because Nate was suddenly silent and did not continue his words and instead daydreamed. Lately, she felt that Nate looked very sad."Sir, what did you want to ask? Why are you suddenly silent?" Morgan asked."Oh! Yeah, I... I wanted to ask you something about....""About Miss Erica?" asked Morgan, who quickly interrupted Nate's speech. She smiled when she saw the surprise on
After coming to Flo's house, Nate went straight back to his company. His mood improved because he got good treatment from Flo. So attentive to her even though Flo is also sick, but Flo is still thinking about her who hasn't had breakfast.Meanwhile, his relationship with Erica is now increasingly tenuous. Nate didn't know what he should do to make their relationship better again. But he felt that for the past few days, Erica had been avoiding him.He knew that Erica had a lot of work and had to work late and come home at night, but Nate felt that Erica's attitude was getting strange.Usually, no matter if they were angry or not, they still went to the office together. But Erica just left. Nate didn't even know when Erica left and what she left with.It was the same when she came home. Erica didn't call him at all to ask him to pick her up. Either because some time ago Nate forgot to pick up Erica to make her wait very long, that's why Erica no longer expects to be picked up by him.In
That day, Erica had a lot of work to do. After being dropped off by Nate, she went straight to her office, preparing some documents before she attended a meeting at nine in the morning with the staff. They were also discussing the ongoing evaluation.Erica organized everything as best she could so that no mistakes would be made and everyone would get a good score on their evaluations. Because Erica didn't want any bad comments about her staff where her grandmother was. Because that would show what kind of leader Erica was in the company and how she managed her office staff.Because if the office staff had bad evaluations, of course, it was the leader who had the problem. And if that happens, it is not impossible for her grandmother to revoke Erica's position as CEO of the Starry White company.Erica had earned the position of CEO at the Starry White company with the persistence and hard work that she had done desperately. Of course, she would not let her hard work go to waste. That's
