Nate and the others looked at the man who had just approached them with serious faces. They were confused as to why someone was shouting angrily as if they had just done something wrong there."What are you doing here?!" he exclaimed with an angry expression on his face. It was Franco, the owner of Sparkling Bouqet."We're eating, can't you see?" snapped Max. He was already annoyed with Nate and now a stranger was interrupting them. Especially with the tension that was going on between them."How dare you speak disrespectfully to me, huh? Don't you know who I am?" Franco shouted. He glared at Max and Jerdin who stood with their hands on their waists."I don't care who you are, we're just not in a good mood right now. Do you understand?" Max scolded.Franco grabbed Max by the collar of his shirt in a rage. "I own the Sparkling Bouqet building. Did you know that? And you have the nerve to act insolent in front of me. Let alone eating here and making a mess!""Wh-what?" Max widened his e
Nate grinned with satisfaction. He couldn't hide the smile that perched on his face as Max was berated by Franco and thrown out without mercy. His pride must have been shattered by all of Franco's cold and rude behavior towards him.Of course, who wouldn't feel embarrassed and angry when he was kicked out just like that after he bragged about everything in front of Riley as if he was the most important person in the world? And now, the CEO showed up and kicked them out like useless trash."You can't do this to me!" Max shouted unhappily at Franco. "I'm a longtime customer here. And you just kicked me out?""From the beginning, this place was booked by Bluebell's president. And you, you're here because of the carelessness of my manager who was more concerned with the friendship of the two of you than me, his boss!" Franco shouted, "If you still have a conscience and don't want to see me fired, you'd better shut your mouth and get out of here quietly. That's if you're still willing to d
Franco couldn't believe what he was seeing. The card in his hand was no ordinary card. It clearly had the name Nathaniel Pemberly written on it. The President of Bluebell Holdings had rented out all the space in the restaurant. But how could Nate have President Bluebell's card?"Oh, sir, this...""Did you check it?" Nate cut him off. He looked at Franco as he motioned for him to remain silent. "Just look at it," he warned."O-Oh, yes. I've seen it," Franco said. He looked confused, but he was clearly signaling him to stay calm and not act recklessly. While he was still confused by what was happening, he decided not to show the card to anyone.Nate smiled knowingly. "That card belongs to my friend. He gave it to me and said that he had a reservation here so I could have lunch with Riley," Nate informed, "but when I asked at the reservation desk, they said that my friend's name wasn't on it, so I had to have lunch here with them." Nate glanced at Max and Jerdin. Explaining to Franco tha
After Franco left, they got a new table. They also got a more expensive meal than the one Max had ordered before. Everything looked luxurious, especially with the ten million dollar bottle of wine that Franco had prepared to replace the broken bottle.Nate smiled with satisfaction as the wine was served one by one to each of them. Max and Jerdin, on the other hand, had annoyed faces after the defeat and embarrassment they had suffered.Now they were sitting at a fancy table, with fancy food and drinks too. And all because of Nate. Their pride was being trampled on. Especially seeing Nate's mocking smile and arrogant attitude."This is much more luxurious than the previous meal," Riley said with a wide smile as he began to savor the food in front of him. He was very grateful to Nate and his friend because thanks to them, he could enjoy expensive food and wine worth 10 million dollars."Well, it's thanks to my friends," Nate boasted. He glanced at Max and Jerdin who were silent without
Right now, Riley was in his room. And there was no sign of President Bluebell. Even when she had lunch at the office, she didn't see the President at all. When she asked Morgan if the President had come to the office, Morgan only replied with a nod of her head.As the newspaper said, President Bluebell was so mysterious that not many people knew what he looked like. But, now that she was in the company, it should be easier for her to see what the President looked like.In fact, anyone who wanted to meet with President Bluebell in his office had to get permission from Morgan or Morgan needed to confirm with the president whether they were allowed to enter his office or not.When she asked other staff, they always replied that the president always came in his private helicopter because his office was at the top of the building. So it's rare for anyone to see the President's face."I became even more determined to get it because of the mystery side," Riley said.She was busy checking the
Nate thought she was crazy and obsessed with him so much that she wanted to meet President Bluebell so badly that she did everything she could. And that made Nate feel even more resentful and dislikeable of her.To Nate, Riley was a problematic woman to avoid. The type of woman who would act violently and do unexpected things if she wanted something. Nate had to be vigilant in every action because Riley would always target President Bluebell, whom he was constantly monitoring.You may wish to see me, but I'll never let that happen, Nate thought to himself.He had to tighten the security and hire more bodyguards to guard the restaurant during the party so that Riley couldn't do anything at the party.He needed to make sure Riley would never know his true identity, including other people. Because as long as he had no intention of publishing his identity in front of everyone, he would not let a single person know. And if there was anyone who needed to know, Erica would be the first to kn
"Are you going to the office now?" asked Nate while watching Erica who was busy getting ready."Yes. I've ordered an Uber and he's waiting in front of the house," Erica replied."Uber?" Nate furrowed his brow. He got out of bed and approached his wife. "You're not going to the office by car?" he asked.Erica shook her head. "No, I'm not. It's grandma's car. And I can't use it all the time. Besides, many people need to use it. So I'd rather order an Uber to go to the office. After all, I won't be using it while I'm at the office either," Erica explained.Nate was silent. It must be really hard being Erica. Since she became CEO, she had to take care of all the problems that occurred in the company, related to debt, and all other crises alone. As the new CEO, Erica was tasked with solving all the problems. And of course, with all the debts the company had, it was difficult for Erica's family financially. "Are you sure you'll be okay using Uber to get to work?" Nate asked."Of course. So
"Stop what you're doing!" shouted Sammie, she was a salesperson there too and felt sorry and unacceptable because she saw a customer being dragged, pushed, and forced out of the showroom as if he was an animal. Especially when she saw Tina who kept cursing him endlessly and didn't think about his feelings at all. That's when Sammie saw him and she couldn't accept the customer being mistreated by Tina and security."What the hell are you doing?" Tina protested when she saw Sammie walking towards them."You're the one who did what. Why did you drag him like that? You're being rude to a customer. He's not a dog," Sammie said angrily. He pulled Nate's arm which was held by security. "Let him go.""Stay out of it, Sam!" shouted Tina."I have to," she said, "he's our customer. He just came here to look and ask about car prices. There's nothing wrong with what she's doing. Why are you being so rude to a customer?""He's not a customer! He's just a poor guy who could never buy a car here!" pr
