This morning, he was greeted with a very unexpected flurry of activity from his friend's frantic-sounding phone call. Earlier, he had asked her to go on a vacation, and now he was asking her to go somewhere."What's wrong?" Lucas straightened his gray jacket and looked at Adam.In an instant, Lucas realized that Ryan was also there with many bags. The two men smiled broadly."You know Lucas, you hardly ever reply to my messages, so we've prepared everything," Adam said as he pointed to the white van behind them. "We're going on a three-day vacation in my grandfather's village!"He was so excited when he said that even Ryan nodded a few times. The enthusiasm of the two of them could be seen well. But Lucas was not a person who could do things on the spur of the moment. He exhaled. "That's pretty hard-"He was about to refuse his two friends' requests. However, they both cut him off. "Don't refuse, Lucas. We want to celebrate your birthday!" Ryan emphasized his sentence.Lucas' eyes wi
In the evening, they finally decided to go out and buy some ingredients for their barbeque at Sam's grandfather's house.Lucas walked with them. Although it was a village, the construction was good enough that they didn't need flashlights when walking."It used to be very dark here." Adam started reminiscing about the past."Yes, the economic development has improved. This place is very nice." Ryan breathed in strongly from his nose. He felt the fresh air, which made him feel good.They walked with wide footsteps until they reached the shopping center, where they bought ingredients for the BBQ. "We should also buy ice cream. What do you think, Lucas?" Ryan looked at Lucas, and his eyes widened as he had a can of beer in his hand. "Yeah, we should get that beer too."They put all their groceries into the basket and quickly left there to have fun. Enjoying their long overdue vacation."Even though we're not as young as we used to be, isn't it fun to hang out with friends?" Adam looked
Having so much money naturally protects them because they can do what they want. With that money, they could suppress others and act like gods.For him, who had always earned the respect of others and had always been considered important, he never gave the slightest thought to the circumstances in which he would encounter others in a higher position. Especially that the other person had a relationship with the person he looked down upon.At that strange moment, he saw that expensive watch inside him. He felt a rush that made his entire skin itch.Cairo narrowed his eyes. He squeezed his hand tightly. "Of course, it's a counterfeit. At this point. Counterfeit goods look very similar to real goods; many people in the city buy counterfeit goods to fulfil their lifestyle." He chuckled with a grin.The people beside him opened their mouths and clapped at Cairo's words. It made perfect sense as they had also seen on social media how often people there cheated each other.Edward, who was the
He yawned with a wide mouth. He raised both hands to relieve some of the soreness in his body. Ryan rubbed his eyes because he woke up quite early after they had a BBQ party last night.His lips were slightly forward as he hadn't really focused this morning. "Should I sleep again?" he was considering it.But then she saw Lucas passing in front of him in neat clothes, making her eyes widen. "Lucas, why are you ready so early in the morning?" she felt unacceptable. But it turned out that Lucas wasn't the only one ready. Adam was, too, which made her panic.Lucas stopped walking and looked at him, then spoke. "We're on vacation, so should we enjoy the atmosphere in fish?"The expression on Ryan's face was sullen. He exhaled a sizable breath from his mouth. "Alright. I'll get ready now.""We'll leave you if you're not ready in five minutes, Ryan!" Adam shouted to put Ryan on the defensive.The man looked at Adam with piercing eyes. He immediately ran to the bathroom to clean his body and
She couldn't speak at all at the moment. He couldn't believe it, but the look in his father's eyes was so intense. His father was so severe. But how could this have happened?"Father..." he called out to his father, hoping to explain the truth.Benedict's chest was heavy from this. He took a breath first and finally spoke. "You must apologize sincerely. Otherwise, our family will be in danger." His son should immediately understand what he was saying.For Cairo, this must be a mistake. His father often did the work to clean up the mess he made, and indeed, his father also knew this man was one of his frequent targets."Father, this is a mistake. There's no way he's an important person." A slap landed directly on her cheek and made her lips bleed. The taste of the blood swallowed at him."Apologize."Cairo's body instantly jerked at that moment. Something unexpected like this happened. He was going to apologize to the person he had previously insulted repeatedly. He should apologize an
Nisa finally arrived where the man she was interested in was. As she got closer than before, she marveled at the man's face. He looked even more handsome up close.Adam noticed her continued staring at Lucas and looked at her sharply. "Why are you here?" he responded to Nisa coldly.Nisa hissed at Adam's words. "I want to meet this man. What's your name?" she immediately spoke up when she saw Lucas looking at her, not letting go of the handsome man."Lucas," Lucas answered briefly and held up his fishing rod. He had just caught a fish, which surprised Adam and Ryan. They were so surprised by Lucas' sizable catch.With the two of them yet to catch a fish, they could have lost. "I'll get the ika." Ryan hissed as he narrowed his eyes.Nisa was there trying to draw attention away from Lucas. She cleared her throat as she sat next to him. "Lucas, I'm Nisa." She introduced herself. A beautiful woman like her would definitely attract the attention of this man even though she was from the cit
"Everything must be well prepared." He looked calmly at the two men in front of her and tapped her finger on the table several times.The two newest men moved their eyes slowly. What their master was asking made them uneasy. They knew the situation, but it still felt uncomfortable. They learned about the consequences that would happen to their master.One of them finally spoke in a calm voice and didn't want to be disrespectful to their master. "But Mr. Boden, this is very dangerous. If he finds out, it could destroy your family."Boden narrowed his eyes. He knew about it, but he had long been in the shadow of the Carter family. He had always been considered one of the honorable ones and had always done an excellent job.He had always done it perfectly until now. She exhaled from her mouth. "I know that. That's why he works so carefully?" Her eyes looked at the two men in front of her.The two men nodded their heads slowly. True, they did everything with calculation. Even Boden had an
Everyone seemed so busy that the air around them felt so heavy. It was suffocating for those who even continued to work overtime without being able to go home. All their energy seemed to be exhausted from continuing to do this work.Over time and over every day, they are having a hard time in their lives. A man who had just roughly sipped his coffee finally spoke in a low voice. "A, there seems to be a high-ranking person coming here." Her expression was bent. She felt annoyed by what happened to her.The others who were there who hadn't even taken a bath spoke. "Why?"He didn't have the energy to speak but wanted to know what his friend knew. So the man who spoke first moved his eyes lazily. "It's because we're busy like this. It's rare for Mr. Boden to seem so careful, isn't it? Who else could make him tremble if that person's position wasn't higher than his?"Everyone who listened to his words nodded; they, too, had an opinion on that matter. But they were all troubled. "I want to
