Aiden and his friends had a quiet lunch with the other employees in the cafeteria. No one bothered them. When the break was over, they went back to their desks. Aiden returned to his private office and got some of the files Brenda had discussed before the break. "Here, sir."Aiden simply nodded his head as he reached for the files. Brenda, who was still frightened, bowed respectfully. "Excuse me, sir."Aiden went straight to work on his accumulated work. Before he knew it, it was time to go home. Aiden's work for today was finished. Aiden left his office and went to his friends, who were tidying up their desks. The other employees had already dispersed."How was work? Is everything okay?" Aiden asked his friends. They all nodded their heads happily."Our work is done. Thankfully, no problems occurred." Calvin spoke up. Aiden nodded his head happily.After Aiden's friends tidied their desks, they left the office together. Aiden's three friends went home by bus with the other employees
Marine smiled, happy to see Aiden. She shook her head, responding to Aiden in a friendly manner. "Ah, no need. I'll just take the bus. After all, we might not be going in the same direction.""No problem, I'll drive you to work." Aiden continued to offer her a ride.Marine seemed to be pondering while looking at her watch. The bus she usually took had yet to arrive, and she had to get to work as soon as possible because she had to clean up before the supermarket where she worked opened. She glanced at Aiden, who was still waiting for her answer. She exhaled, then smiled at Aiden. "Alright, I accept your offer. Once again, I owe you a favor, Aiden."Aiden smiled and shook his head. Marine got into the car. Aiden drove the vehicle according to the Marine's directions. They made small talk about Kuro. The conversation flowed so smoothly that they arrived in front of a large supermarket before they knew it.Marine got out of the car and leaned half of her body against the glass window of
The woman's name was Ilana. She was the daughter of a hospital commissioner in this city. She was very pretty, with her hair in a small bun, leaving a few strands of hair on the sides of her face. Aiden extended his hand to the woman. "I'm Aiden, the CEO of Alvend's company."Ilana warmly welcomed Aiden's hand. "Ilana. I'm the daughter of the commissioner of a well-known hospital in this city."Aiden smiled in response. Ilana started talking about how Aiden was the leader of a big company, and Aiden asked her about her health. They chatted pleasantly. Especially when Aiden responded to Ilana's remark about health. Ilana admired Aiden and nodded her head. Ilana thinks that Aiden is a smart guy.Not long after, the party started. Everyone listened to the opening remarks from the head of Tera Company. "Thank you all for coming here. This party is held in gratitude for the success of our project. We created the latest breakthrough in the automotive field."Everyone applauded loudly. The l
Ilana took Aiden to the veranda of the building to get away from the unpleasant encounter. She snorted in annoyance as she took a sip of her drink. "Those people over there are so annoying. If I may know, why exactly did you become so hostile to her that she would say such harsh things to you? And, who is Lola? Why did she compare her to me?"Aiden tapped the drink as he looked up at the night sky. "I'm sorry about the incident that made you uncomfortable earlier. Lola is my ex-girlfriend and that guy is my ex's boyfriend. He insulted me because back then, I was poor. Everything she said inside was true. I dropped out of college and was orphaned. They always insulted me as a stupid useless loser."Ilana stared at Aiden in awe. He responded differently than most people. "You're doing great, Aiden. Just ignore them. Don't listen to their insults that will bring you down. They're just jealous and don't like what you've accomplished."Aiden felt happy to hear Ilana's kind words to him. He
Max was surprised to see the black card in Aiden's hand. He didn't have a black card. And that made him even more upset. He thought he was dealing with the wrong person. He couldn't fight back anymore and walked away.Aiden's three friends cheered at Max. "You lousy loser! Go away and don't come back! You son of a bitch!" They were happy to see Max leave in disgust at what Aiden had done."So, don't you dare mess with us!" Juno cheered the loudest until Max was out of their sight.Suddenly, it made the women interested. They were amazed at Aiden's actions. Neira approached Aiden and held his hand. She looked at Aiden deeply. "You're so cool and amazing. After this, we should meet and talk a lot to get to know each other." Neira raised her hand in front of Aiden. "Where's your phone?"Aiden frowned, then reached into his pants pocket. He pulled out his cell phone. Before Aiden could make a sound, Neira grabbed his cell phone and entered her number into it. When she was done, she made a
They all sat on the sandy beach enjoying the sunset. It wasn't until it was completely dark that they returned to the car. Each of them drove the women home, then Aiden and his friends gathered at the cafe where they had met earlier. There, Aiden's servants were still waiting and greeted them respectfully. The servants had just returned from destroying Max's car.Aiden's three friends got out of the car. They collected the keys and gave them to Aiden. "We're very grateful that you were kind enough to lend us the car."Aiden handed the keys back to them. Suddenly, their brows furrowed in confusion. Aiden tapped them lightly on the shoulder. "The car is for you guys because all this time, you've been good to me. You've always been by my side, no matter what. Consider it a token of my gratitude, even though it's not enough to repay all your kindnesses over the years."Aiden's three friends fell silent with their heads bowed. They could not say anything. Their feelings were a mixture of j
[09:27, 27/06/2023] +62 852-6601-1944: It was pitch black without any lighting, relying only on the night moonlight. There were silhouettes of two people talking in hushed tones. "We must eliminate Aiden."The person in front of him nodded his head. "Yes, we must eliminate him since we have been paid."They nodded their heads in unison, agreeing. "We have to finish it quickly in order to get our bonus."They left, disappearing into the darkness. Meanwhile, elsewhere, Aiden was fast asleep. His room, which was dark because he usually slept without lighting, caught two silhouettes coming into his room. They were the two people in the darkness planning to kill Aiden, who turned out to be the two servants in the house.The two of them looked at each other, then nodded at Aiden. They moved slowly with their hands clutching a sharp knife. One of them stood guard near the door, making sure that no one else passed by. The other slowly approached Aiden.The waiter holding the knife raised it a
After the intruders were taken away by the police, the house was not much better. The other servants were busy tidying up the mess, especially in the library and Aiden's master suite. Some were also busy preparing breakfast for Aiden, and the security guards tightened up security at Aiden's house even more. Muller had even added more trained security guards to prevent a repeat of last night's incident.Aiden complied with Muller's request to prepare himself and stop working at the office. Aiden's friends wondered where he had been until he missed work, but Aiden was hard to reach. Aiden deliberately did not activate his cell phone for a few days. This continued for several days. On the fifth day, Aiden started his cell phone. At the same time, there was an incoming call from Juno.Aiden immediately picked up the call. Before he could say a word, Juno was already hounding him with questions. "Where have you been, Aiden? Why have you been so hard to reach for the past few days? Why aren
