Lecia and Tonny stopped at the company lobby for a moment, just to take in the unique and classic interior.The few employees who passed by seemed to be staring at the two, while Lecia kept her haughty demeanor. She pretended to be fixing her hairdo, when in fact she was busy taking in the whole place.Anyway, she should be able to work with this company.Lecia pulled her husband's arm to hurry to the reception desk."Yes, how may I help you, Sir and Madam?" the woman said politely, though somewhat surprised by Lecia and Tonny's flashy appearance.Lecia cleared her throat and lifted her chin haughtily. "We would like to meet the owner of this company. We intend to propose a cooperation that will definitely benefit both parties.""Ah that-sorry..." The receptionist woman paused and looked confused. Then, she spoke hesitantly, "I'm sorry, but you cannot meet the company owner."Lecia and Tonny frowned. They looked at each other, then Lecia asked in surprise, "Why?""There are certain re
'What the hell is this woman?'Lecia growled in her place. "What do you mean?!" she said irritably. She took a step forward with both hands on her waist. "Who are you, why are you talking like that?""But it's true, right?" Maria was not at all frightened by Lecia's anger. Instead, her smile widened even more. She stared at the affected employees, then continued her taunts, "You have such a good property business that you want to cooperate with this company, but you let Alex continue working as a lowly cleaning service-""Hey! Watch your mouth!" Lecia gritted her teeth angrily. She didn't care if it had anything to do with Alex, but how dare this woman embarrass her in front of everyone. "Do we know each other that you can talk like that? Stop your nonsense now!"Maria laughed at Lecia's flushed face. "Heh, why are you getting so emotional? I'm just telling the truth."Lecia narrowed her eyes, not liking Maria's tone. But the employees sounded like they agreed with her. They no longer
"The assistant was so strict with the rules, we didn't even know which one was the boss's room. There weren't even any photos to give us a glimpse of the boss. Obviously, her identity is completely hidden." Lecia explained at length to the rest of her family gathered in the living room.That afternoon, as Lucia and Alex were returning from Bi's office, Lecia deliberately called Bastian and Vinna to come to her father's house. She was still resentful of what Alex had done - humiliating her in public - so she was going to teach the poor man a lesson.They were all chatting about Lecia and Tonny's experience when they went to Bi Company. It was raining heavily outside, so they relaxed over rosella tea and the cookies Lucia had bought. Lecia and Tonny were also waiting for a call from Missi.As of now, there wasn't any news. They would still wait until tomorrow and if there was still no call, they would return to Bi Company."Even if we bribe that guy named Missi, he'll never talk about
Lecia laughed with a booming voice, a laugh thick with sarcasm. "No mistake you said, huh? Have you lost your mind?" she almost shouted in place. Alex nodded without hesitation. "What's wrong with addressing you as my sister and brother-in-law? It's actually commendable behavior. How can I not address my own 'family'? Why do you find it shameful?" Alex deliberately emphasized the word 'family' and they all hissed in unison."Alex! You've crossed the line by doing this!" Bachdim growled angrily.Alex was completely unfazed by his anger. "Dad, what's wrong with addressing my wife's brother?""You're wrong because of your lowly status! If you weren't working as a cleaning service, we wouldn't be angry. But look at you, you're poor and not our equal." Lecia hurled her curses viciously. "You're a useless son-in-law. No one will recognize you as family.""Lucia still recognizes me," Alex muttered, staring at everyone boldly.Bachdim snorted. His anger had built up and he shoved Alex's shou
"Come, I'll prepare some warm water for you."Lucia waltzed away with Alex, while his wife's family just stood still. They stared in annoyance, but couldn't say anything to contradict Lucia's words.They had always thought that Lucia was a sweet, obedient, and gentle child, but they had forgotten that this side of her was not to be messed with. Once Lucia got angry, there was no stopping her.Bachdim let out a harsh sigh and walked away without a word. Lecia joined him in grabbing her husband's hand with her face bent, upset that what she wanted didn't happen, instead she was humiliated again."Let's go home!" Lecia stomped away, while Tonny only followed with a grunt. Everything did not go according to plan, even though Tonny really wanted to repay Alex's treatment.Bastian and Vinna were left frozen in place. They stared at Lucia and Alex's departure, then looked at each other."Huh, he's ruining the show as usual," Bastian muttered. He puts his arm around Vinna's shoulders who nods
"Don't forget to wear a thick coat when you go out," Alex said before leaving the room.This morning, he had to go alone to Bi Company. Lucia was going to an offsite meeting with her colleagues, so she wouldn't leave until eight o'clock.Alex was quite worried seeing the news about how many people had caught the flu, especially since they were drenched yesterday."Yeah, take it easy. I'll bring a scarf too," Lucia said, smiling serenely. "Be careful on the road."Alex nodded and waved her off. The house was quiet that morning. Bachdim was out, joining Bastian and Vinna at a socialite group event. As for Tonny and Lecia, Alex was sure they were preparing to go to Bi Company as well.Thinking back on it honestly made Alex upset. He regretted agreeing to their cooperation proposal, but what could he do? It was for the sake of the system panel's orders. At the very least, Alex could hold out for a month, then terminate their cooperation.Yes, he was really going to do that.How could he g
Alex waited for the command to appear, but the system panel had disappeared.That meant the task would be given later, but Alex already had to prepare today. He wondered what the task was. He had heard that Lecia and Tonny were having a celebration party tonight. Could it be related to that?Whatever it was, he had to be prepared.Alex went back to the cleaning station and started his task. He almost felt like a real cleaning service, having done this job for so long.Whenever he looked at his reflection in the mirror, then remembered the total amount of his wealth, it felt so ridiculous that this was the job he loved.He remembers Leo working as a security guard at home. On average, humans who entered the system world were required to look poor in order to outwit the enemy.They had to move subtly if they wanted revenge. The main thing was the mission of the system panel, then they had to utilize the gaps of available free time for themselves.Slowly and gently.Alex thought he just
'CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE COMPLETED TASK 2 OF LEVEL 18!''PLEASE CLAIM YOUR REWARD!Alex read the notification as he took off his damp clothes. He pressed a button on the screen and $9 million dollars was deposited into his account.He had just returned from Lecia and Tonny's celebration party because Lucia was angry. They had left early after the incident with Alex tripping on the floor.That guy was doing it on purpose, she thought.Alex wanted to beat him up, but he didn't want to worry Lucia further. The girl treated the wound before going into the bathroom. Lucia's face still looked annoyed, more so at her family and the rude party guests.So, they decided to go back rather than socialize. In fact, there were a lot of Lucia's old friends who came.To be honest, Alex would also rather go home than stay at the party. All of them were not much different from Lecia and Tonny-they were equally haughty. Even the guy who deliberately stuck out his foot didn't seem to feel guilty at all
