Claire didn't stop talking during the trip. She was very excited. Not only was she happy to be able to take her friend for a drive in a new car, but she was also excited that she would soon know where Jack lived.Claire turned her head briefly to look at Jack's face. As long as he was talking, Jack only gave simple answers. Claire furrowed her brows before refocusing her gaze forward."Jack, why do you look worried?"Jack gasped. He grimaced while showing his row of white and clean teeth. "Really? Um, maybe I'm just tired. It's been a long day." He smiled silly remembering what he had done while worrying about Claire."Are you sure you're not hiding something from me?""That's too hard to do. Even if I speak silently, you'll probably hear it."Claire chuckled. She nodded before asking, "So, where do you live now? You haven't told me either. I can't go there if you don't mention the address. There will be an intersection soon, should I go straight, turn right, or go left?""Um, that's.

The smile on Matthew's face vanished like dust swept away by the wind. His breathing became labored after the young master mentioned Donald Pasmod's name. His heart, which had been warmed by Jack and Claire's sweet story of friendship, suddenly became anxious."What's wrong Matthew?" asked Jack who saw the change in his subordinate's expression."Young Master," Matthew paused to take a breath. His breathing was heavy. There was no denying that he feared for Jack's safety every time Donald Pasmod's name was mentioned.What Matthew felt was natural; he understood how dangerous Donald Pasmod was. And Matthew certainly didn't want anything bad to happen to his master.More than that, Matthew knew very well that Tom Roodenburg's happiness was complete with the presence of Jack who was finally found after decades of searching. He couldn't imagine that something untoward would diminish the old man's happiness.Jack remained silent, waiting for Matthew to continue. However, it was not Matthew

A Rolls-Royce Phantom entered the courtyard of the Big Roodgroup building. The luxury car attracted the attention of passers-by, and Sophie Parker was no exception."Who is that coming? Why are the guards and staff standing in front of the main door to greet him?" Sophie asked herself as there was no one beside her.Sophie had just exited the Big Roodgroup parking lot when she saw a luxury car enter the building. The car didn't stop in the parking lot, but stopped parallel to the main entrance of the building.Sophie had come to the big company where her ex-boyfriend worked for no reason. She was there for a job interview.Ever since Sophie had been fired from BlueLux Hotel, she had been having trouble finding a job. That's because news of the reason for her dismissal was circulating among the other company officials. Sophie didn't know how it happened, but she kept getting rejections from all the places she applied to, even from small companies.Sophie was surprised because she didn'

Sophie stared at Jack almost unblinkingly as her ex stepped out of the elevator."Sophie." Jack tried to pull his lips back.Slowly a smile also appeared on Sophie's face. Actually, she was too surprised. Apart from the fact that she hadn't expected Jack's appearance at all, Jack appeared with a completely different appearance.Jack looked charming in his suit. He was also wearing shiny black loafers. Jack's appearance was made even more perfect by the classy watch on his hand. Sophie's careful eyes confirmed that everything Jack was wearing was branded and authentic.'How can Jack wear all that? Where did he get those things?'Although she wondered this, her perspective on Jack was different. In the past, Sophie would have thought that Jack was stealing, cheating, or doing other bad things. But now, she was sure that no matter where Jack got those things from, it couldn't have been in a bad way."I-I have a job interview. Um, I applied for a job here. What are you doing at Big Roodgr

Claire picked up a paper bag. A tantalizing aroma immediately entered Jack's nose."Burger?" asked Jack when Claire handed him the paper bag. "You asked me out to give this to me?""Yes, you should eat. It's a special burger combo. I saw a customer ordering it, then I thought of you. Take it and eat it. You must not have had breakfast yet. Now get off my car because I have to go back to King Pizza."Jack smiled wryly, feeling touched and ridiculous all at once. He looked sharply at Claire."What's wrong? Don't tell me you've eaten. I know you won't let me see your dorm room because it must be really bad now, worse and more depressing than your previous dorm. And it must all be because you have no money." Claire's voice sounded so confident. "Stop being so arrogant, okay?" she continued while ruffling Jack's hair."Don't you see my clothes? Look at my watch. What can I buy if I don't have any money?"Claire laughed. "Maybe your boss or a friend gave it to you.""Oh, does it look like s

After meeting Jack by accident, Sophie couldn't stop thinking about her ex-boyfriend. She tried hard to focus on the interview, but Jack's image kept creeping into her mind.Fortunately, it didn't break Sophie's concentration. She was still able to answer the questions from the Head of Human Resources smoothly.From the look on the interviewer's face, Sophie hoped her answers wouldn't disappoint. And now, she was very nervous because her fate was about to be decided.The results of the interview selection will be announced this afternoon. Successful or unsuccessful candidates will receive a notification message. Those who pass will automatically be accepted into the Big Roodgroup. And of course Sophie wanted to get the message with the good news.!!Sophie's cell phone beeped with an incoming message notification. She grabbed her phone and closed her eyes with a sigh.She looked at her phone screen. She gulped when she saw that the message was sent by Big Roodgroup's office number."I

The new employees awaited Young Master Roodenburg's arrival in conference room one. There were several meeting rooms in the 262-meter-high building. And the first meeting room was on the top floor, next to the director's office.They sat down with nervous faces. Some of them seemed to be holding tightly to their chairs, cell phones, feet, or anything else they could use to ease the tension.They were about to meet the number one person in the company. And Big Roodgroup was the number one company in the country. That thought alone explains how important Young Master Roodenburg is. The most influential and powerful person they had never met before."I'm very nervous. I've already gone to the toilet twice. And now I have heartburn again. But I should be able to handle it," said the woman sitting next to Sophie.Sophie replied, "Yes, you have to control it. You don't want to be on the toilet when Young Master Roodenburg comes here, do you?""Yes, I'm very worried about that too." The woma

Sophie looked at Jack who was smiling at her.'But why is Jack smiling at me?'Sophie's breathing became more and more labored. But her body seemed to move on its own.Sophie bowed respectfully!She looked at the marble as if there was a mound of gold there. Sophie's mind was now filled with new questions.If Jack was Young Master Roodenburg, why was he working as a pizza delivery boy? Why was Jack hiding his identity?But, if Jack wasn't Young Master Roodenburg, why did he dare to sit in Young Master's special seat? Besides, Matthew didn't reprimand him!"Sophie, you can stand up straight."Sophie's pupils dilated, hearing the gentle and polite words of a man. His voice was very familiar to Sophie.'Jack, is that you, Young Master Roodenburg?' Sophie asked herself.With her eyes closed, Sophie straightened up. What had happened was obvious. However, it was too shocking for her to accept the truth.'Jack is Young Master Roodenburg?' Sophie asked again. She couldn't accept that fact.M

The moon was perfectly round. From the attic of Greenroad Villa, the wind made the tops of the cypress trees look like they were rubbing against the full moon. There was coffee steaming in two white cups on the wooden table. A burly hand seemed to pick up one of the cups. "It's beautiful," Claire said after her husband took a sip of coffee. She admired the night view of the place. Jack shook his head. "There is something more beautiful than this." Claire said with a beaming face. "Really?" "'Yup." Jack took another sip of his homemade coffee. "Tell me quickly. I want to see it tomorrow." Claire was getting excited. "Why wait until tomorrow?" "So, I can see it now?" "Of course!" Claire clapped her hands happily. "Where can I see it?" She pulled her chair closer to Jack. "Go to the room." Claire who was listening to her husband intently furrowed her brows. However, she still said, "Then?" "When you stand in front of the mirror, look ahead. It really is the most beautiful vie

People were surprised by Jack's reaction to what Claire had done, and Claire herself was no exception. From the time she knew Jack until they decided to get married, Jack had never yelled at her, except when she made a mistake.'Then, what did I do wrong?' Claire thought to herself as she looked at her husband.Some of the ladies in the guest seats also didn't expect the young master to yell at his wife. They held their chests in shock. In their opinion, what Claire did was right.Those impudent people deserved two or three more slaps. Some of the guests even wanted to join in grabbing their hair.If Claire was shocked, Lady was not. Although Claire's slap made her cheek hurt, she was glad to know that the young master was quick to yell at his wife for being rude. That meant, she still had a chance. Who knew what chance Lady was referring to."Young Master," Matthew said feeling the need to defend Claire. He thought, perhaps his employer had misunderstood. However, before he had a cha

Undeniably, the aura emanating from Jack made the four women depressed. They seemed to clutch at their own clothes to hide their trembling hands in fear."Lady," Jack called out as the four women fell wordlessly silent.Lady forced herself to smile. "I am, Young Master."Jack laughed to hear Lady, who had often made fun of him as a loser, now addressing him with such a title, and spoken in a gentle tone."You insist on seeing me. Tell me, after this, what do you want?" Jack stuffed both hands into his pockets.To be honest, Jack's changeable reactions, sometimes looking angry, sometimes so friendly, confused Lady. She was well aware that Jack had every right to be angry. And she would accept whatever Jack would do.Lady briefly turned her head to the right and left to see the expressions on her friends' faces. She was sure that the expression on her face now was not much different from theirs; fear, anxiety, mixed with an expression of regret.Then, she suddenly dropped to her knees i

That one shout managed to provoke the other guests. Now the place was filled with calls for Young Master Roodenburg to kiss his wife.Both of Claire's cheeks flushed at the sound. She even removed her arms from Jack's neck, turning toward the audience with her head slightly bowed.Jack sighed seeing his wife like that. He brought his face closer to Claire's, making the audience stop their exclamations.Everyone was tense waiting for what the Young Master would do."Don't worry. I won't do it in public," Jack whispered so quietly that only Claire could hear him.She turned to her husband with a bright face. Meanwhile, the audience was still waiting for the young master to do what they expected.In that moment of silence, there was suddenly a shout from the back row of seats."YOUNG MASTER!!!"The people were startled.

Happiness was evident on the faces of the bride and groom, their families, and the invited guests, except for the four friends sitting in the back seats.Sophie, who had been shedding tears, now hugged Lady to hide her sobs after seeing Jack kiss Claire on the forehead. Sophie still remembered clearly that during the time she and Jack were dating, Jack had never asked for a kiss from her. Whereas when she was David's girlfriend, he asked her for everything, even on their first day of dating.Indeed, Sophie often sees Jack as a loser even when it comes to romance. While she gives David very high marks, and considers him to be a real passionate man.'But look at it now.

"Hearing his voice, it is clear that Young Master is a kind and humble person. All of us who have the opportunity to attend this event feel very happy and honored. But Young Master instead calls himself the lucky one to be able to greet us. We really are lucky. Even if someone were to buy a wedding invitation from Young Master at a fantastic price, I would confidently refuse it. This is truly the most precious moment of heartbreak." Grace smiled widely with both feelings of happiness and sadness. Her eyes were fixed on the large screen on the right side of the stage. The screen displayed the figure of the masked man who had captured the attention of everyone in Rhineland.Two large screens had been set up beside the stage to help the backseat audience get a clear view of the proceedings. What was shown on the screens was what was seen on the television screens as well.Grace and her entourage were a little disappointed that they were seated at the very back, but they were quite self-a

"If this was the old David, I would believe it. But David, now you even only live in this cramped boarding house. There's no way you can meet a woman from the upper class." Gary picked up a potato chip and chewed it casually. There was no longer any worry or fear of offending David. David's arrogance had faded since he fell into poverty. "Maybe David saw her when he was finance manager at Big Roodgroup." Gary said. However, David remained unmoved. He didn't take his eyes off the television. The frown on his forehead grew. "David." Even Gary's soft call startled David. Shaking his head, David said, "There's no mistaking it, she's that woman." Ryan asked, "What are you talking about?" "I'm pretty sure, she, Young Master Roodenburg's bride is that rude woman who works at King Pizza. She scolded me once. She yelled at me and Sophie. She told us not to go inside the store." Gary and Ryan looked at each other briefly before laughing together. The small room was now filled with their a

Lady took Sophie's arm."I didn't realize that the wedding invitation was real. It felt so... sudden, too sudden. It's a good thing you forced me to come, otherwise I would have regretted missing my idol's happy event even more, though I probably wouldn't have cried about it for long." Lady continued.
