"The party is next week."It was Angelo's last message before he and Alex parted ways. They planned to throw a party to celebrate their upcoming partnership. Angelo had also agreed to invite the Verg family and the Sans family at Alex's request.He could already imagine how the two sly families would react, but he still wanted to see their expressions firsthand."I have to go back to Bi's office now," he muttered. His head looked up, staring at the sky that was still overcast after the drizzle. Puddles were everywhere, splashing on the bottom of Alex's pants as he walked.Alex stepped to the nearest bus stop as he stuffed his files into his coat. He wanted to go back home to change before going to his office again.But before Alex could order a taxi, a notification from the system panel suddenly appeared in front of him.'DING! DING!''TASK 1 LEVEL 23: WEAR SUIT TO BI COMPANY!'Alex wiped his face and stared at the line again. It was true that he was told to wear a suit to Bi Company
Alex flipped through the file that Missi had given him a few minutes ago. It was the second batch of goods that Lecia and Tonny had deposited today. Then in another folder, there was the profit they made from the first entry.Everything looked normal.However, Alex, who always checks the company's profits every month, could easily identify the small mistakes Missi had missed. Alex certainly didn't blame Missi, in fact the man had worked hard and done his job well.It was Lecia and Tonny who were too sneaky when manipulating the numbers.Alex took some notes and told Missi to meet Lecia and Tonny. He wanted to know what the two of them would say if Missi asked them about the income problem.Alex would not judge them immediately. For the next month, he would be patient with their cheating. Then at the right time, they would be disgracefully fired.Slowly, his identity would begin to be revealed.His meeting with Angelo Gambino was a stepping stone. Not just to bring in profits, but to s
"Well, this is the second income. Every week they pick up goods from us, especially since sales increased dramatically after being promoted by Bi Company," Lecia said enthusiastically.That night, she and her husband had stopped by to share the success of their company. Even Bastian and Vinna looked envious of their achievements.Across the sofa, Alex and Lucia just listened without saying much. Bachdim himself was already smiling from ear to ear at the thought of more money coming in, although not as much as Lucia was giving him."I'm happy to see your business growing. Bastian has also started to develop a business in fashion, while..." Bachdim paused and deliberately cleared his throat loudly. He looked at Alex openly. "Has there been any improvement in your work?""Dad, he's just a cleaning service. What do you expect? An upgrade to become an employee like Lucia in the dream?" said Bastian in a mocking voice.Everyone burst out laughing, except Alex and Lucia who sighed tiredly. I
'TASK 2 LEVEL 23: WEAR THE NEW CAR GIFT TO THE CELEBRATION PARTY!'Alex, who was putting on his shoes, suddenly stopped at the notification. He looked at his task on level 23, then the side of the garage where his new car was hidden.So, he had to use the car now.The corners of his lips pulled into a thin grin. Alex was certainly happy with the assignment, considering that tonight, he would be attending a big celebration in the city center.People had been talking about the party all week, not to mention the Verg family who were busy preparing their suits for the occasion. In particular, Alex and Angelo had only invited certain people, but he had included the Vergs and the Sans in the final guest list.The party started at 7pm. Alex had half an hour left to get there, but he deliberately stalled. He wanted to see how fast his Mercedes-Maybach was."Are you leaving now?" Bianca appeared just as Alex was about to step into the garage. In a floor-sweeping blue dress like a royal princes
"Is it true Alex?" asked John with narrowed eyes. They were quite a distance away from where the billionaires were, and they couldn't just barge forward."Looks like it is," said his father-in-law in an incredulous voice. Since earlier, they had been observing the last guest who arrived with many bodyguards, but it felt almost delusional.They knew that Alex had developed a business, but what was happening now was unacceptable.How could Alex have joined the conglomerate family? What kind of business was he running to become so rich in such a short time?"Dad, I don't believe that Alex is there because of his business at all. He's probably just Mr. Angelo's assistant or bodyguard.""You're right. I don't believe he has that much money either."The two continued to speculate on Alex's whereabouts in the VVIP seats, while the others were busy chatting. Alex tasted the centuries-old white wine brought directly by Angelo, occasionally glancing at the guests who sounded like the buzzing of
"This is crazy, this is crazy, this is... asshole! This isn't real. How could that ignorant man be a... ah shit...!" Bastian didn't know how many times he had sworn so harshly that the guests began to glance at him sarcastically.This all felt so unreal!In the corner of the room, the three of them gathered with dumbfounded faces, almost shocked by the announcement.Alex was the owner of Bi's company?No way!That's impossible!The Verg family simply couldn't believe that this was real. On the other hand, the Sans were also desperately defending their argument that the announcement was just a joke.How could Alex, who they knew as a weak man who was always bullied, become... a billionaire?Just when they thought that Alex was just dirt on the toe of their shoes, the truth was that he was the real dirt."I refuse to believe it," Bastian said with emphasis.Tonny stroked his tight chest. "I feel sick. Please spank me again," he pleaded with Bastian.Bastian gladly did so to vent his fru
"What exactly are they arguing about again? Didn't you guys just get back from a party?"Inside the room, Alex and Lucia lay on the bed after turning on the heat. Lucia lay on her side facing her husband and asked him what was on his mind. They mentioned something about Bi's company and he didn't understand."They accused me of being a liar. So at the party..." Alex took a breath and looked at his wife. He knew Lucia would accept everything, but she might be angry that Alex had been hiding his identity. "At the party we went to, I revealed my identity as the owner of the Bi company. And... they thought it was all a lie.""Wh-what..." Lucia paused trying to digest what Alex had said. Then as if she just realized what her husband was talking about, her eyes widened and her mouth opened. Lucia was frozen like a statue for a long time."Did you just say... you own Bi's company?" Lucia's voice was barely audible at the end of the sentence.Alex nodded in response.Lucia fell silent again
Bastian stood in the corner of the yard with narrowed eyes. His gaze was directed at Alex who was watering the plants, but the man's gaze was fixed on empty air. His mouth was moving, but he looked like he was talking to something.Alex must be crazy, Bastian thought. Why was the man talking to himself? Even to the point of smiling at the empty air in front of him.Bastian had come to talk about the news that was making the rounds in the media. It was none other than the announcement of the owner of the Bi company. However, Bastian still did not believe that the news was true.This whole thing must be a joke.It was possible that the news would last for a week, then there would be an announcement from Angelo's side. Bastian held firm to that opinion because he would never concede Alex's position."Bastian, what are you doing there?" Tonny, who had just entered through the fence, asked in surprise.Bastian shook his head and glanced back at Alex's place, where the man was getting busy
