Maria was shocked to see everyone clamoring for their money back after the scam they experienced as a result of their investment with the scam company. What was even more shocking was that there were so many people who had been scammed.

Not just one or two people had been scammed, but there were dozens of people standing there protesting in front of the building. Maria was getting more and more scared and anxious if she couldn't get her money back. The huge amount of money that she thought she would get twice as much profit from was just wiped out by this scam.

"There are a lot of people protesting here, I don't think you're the only one who got scammed," Theo said as he saw many people protesting in front of the building.

"What if I can't get my money back?" Maria panicked. Her face was deathly pale. She didn't know what to do as her mind was in turmoil.

"Mom, how could you know him and just trust him to invest in his company? Why didn't you find out first and just act stupidly?" Eri

    "Who are you to tell my bodyguard to stop, huh?" Rolex asked Nate with narrowed eyes. He felt offended and unacceptable that someone would be so arrogant in front of him. While he was the invincible one."I'm Nate," Nate said, answering Rolex's question in a joking tone.Rolex laughed. "You think I asked your name?! You useless idiot!" Rolex shouted. His hands were clenched into fists."I'm not a fool, and I have a name. Wouldn't it be more polite if you spoke in a low tone?" said Nate, "and you shouldn't have told your bodyguards to hit women. You can't be called men if you dare to hurt women."Rolex snorted. "Well, look at this asshole. Is he advising us? Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you bother me and act like this, huh?!""Didn't I tell you that I...""Shut your mouth and get out of here!" snapped Rolex.

Nate had always acted like an unreliable fool, but today he seemed like a different person.After making sure Rolex and Jasper left, Nate immediately dropped his gaze to Theo whose face was full of wounds.

    "Dad, I'm going out for a minute to catch up with Erica. Maybe she needs help," Nate said as soon as Erica left to take care of the payment."Oh, yeah. Okay," Erica's father replied.Nate then walked out of the room. Instead of going after Erica, Nate went to the stairwell area which was deserted because everyone used the elevator. So no one passed by there while he called Morgan."Morgan," Nate greeted after their phone call connected."Yes, sir?""Did you look up the information on Rolex?" I asked, "The picture of the man I sent you in a message.""Yes, sir. I've been looking into him, as well as a man named Jasper. They are colleagues.

    "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.

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.

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

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
