"What? No way." The man turned around, looking at Richard with a confused and panicked expression. "But this man—one of our employees; he came to work here this morning." He tried to justify himself.The supervisor, a man named William, shook his head. "The employee who arrived this morning was a woman. What are you thinking?!" He grew irritated at the man's nonsense. "I handled him myself when he arrived; what on earth have you been doing to be this unaware?"Some staff members nearby and a few guests were left stunned, covering their mouths in shock. Many guests, who had assumed the error lay with the café's manager, were even more taken aback."But… but he looks like he's wearing the same uniform as the rest of the staff." Unwilling to accept blame, the man tried to shift responsibility to Richard, who resembled their employees.Richard sighed, staring coldly at the man. "I told you before that I wasn't an employee here, but you insisted, pushing me to work without listening to my
Smith managed to contact the establishment's owner and immediately called him. He first explained the situation and the issue at hand, not forgetting to introduce himself as the head butler of the Morrison family, which left the man on the other end of the line both shocked and anxious. It was still early in the morning, but they were receiving a complaint from someone of influence—and that person was currently raising an issue with his café. No businessman would take such a complaint lightly, especially from Richard Morrison. The owner immediately felt that his day would not go well and nervously asked how to resolve the situation. "I'll let you speak directly to my employer." Smith then handed the phone to Richard. Taking the phone and glaring at the two employees, Richard said, "I want you to fire these two employees immediately—the manager and the supervisor here." "Of course, sir. I'll do it right away. I'll contact them directly, so please, don't take any action against
"It's been a while since I visited this place," Richard thought as he stopped in front of a house he used to visit occasionally, though not in the past year.Rachel had recently visited him instead, so it had been weeks since his last visit here. Standing by the monochrome-themed entrance, he glanced at Smith, who was waiting by his side for instructions on whether to enter with him or remain outside. "I won't be long; stay here," Richard said.Smith nodded respectfully. "Yes, sir."Richard stepped inside, greeted by one of the house attendants who led him to the living room where Brad and Wilona were seated.The couple immediately stood up in surprise upon seeing Richard. "Goodness, Mr. Richard. Why didn't you let us know you were coming?" Brad asked awkwardly, reaching out his hand to shake Richard's.Richard smiled faintly, shaking his hand. "Why would I need to? Am I not welcome here without notice? Should I leave now?" he replied, turning the question back in a way that made them
After leaving Rachel's house Richard returned to his schedule to meet Naomi. He had originally postponed it, but now rescheduled their meeting through Smith."Did you arrange it?" he got into his car while glancing at the front where Smith was.Smith nodded his head, as soon as he was informed he immediately rescheduled their meeting again. But this time in a different place, Smith chose a more private place to be careful. He was worried that the incident would happen again and put Richard in a bad mood.Richard was not a moody person, quick to change his mood and quick to decide. He wasn't usually like that, but lately maybe because there were so many things going on, he was a little tired."I didn't arrange a dinner together at xxx restaurant for this meeting, and Miss Naomi agreed sir." he reported it more clearly.While Naomi herself did not complain much, she knew Richard was a busy man so meeting him was a difficult thing. She didn't mind at all if they had to reschedule the mee
Naomi was back at her lodgings in a hotel near the city center. Behold, the 5-star. She appeared on the balcony of her room wearing her nightgown.The woman stood leaning on the balcony divider while holding a glass filled with wine. She shook the contents of the glass and then sipped slowly. Her mind was reminded of Richard, whom she had met earlier. Somehow, she felt familiar with Richard.When she saw his figure, she remembered someone she knew, someone whose existence could no longer be found."He looks similar to Kevin," Naomi muttered while gazing at the tall buildings with their bright lights.The sight of the hotel was sentimental and romantic at the same time, the glow of the lights and the small dots below moving beautifully. Unfortunately, she had such a beautiful time alone, without any friends to accompany her.Maybe her life would have been more enjoyable if Kevin had been around. She had no friends, and the only person she felt close to and compatible with was Kevin. Bu
After walking around and spending time together, they went home. Richard drove Rachel back to her house and sat there to enjoy their time together a little longer."Do you want to see the painting from yesterday? I finished it." Edith, who had led Richard to her room, took his hand and directed him to sit there.Sent was sitting on one of the sofas in Rachel's room, nodding his head with a smile. "Yes, I want to see it."Rachel then smiled, releasing her hand from Richard's grip. She moved away cheerfully.While Richard, sitting there at the moment, was staring at the whole room, he noticed everything displayed there and for him to make it look interesting. His room and Rachel's room were different; if Richard's room tended to be filled with various books and monochrome colors, Rachel's room seemed the opposite.Everything there seemed brighter, with a strong and soft female charm. Some objects displayed were paintings, not paintings, but decorations in the form of flowers and everyth
It's been three weeks since Richard and Rachel decided to get married, and their relationship grows stronger every day. They are not only a couple planning to build a household together but also a solid team facing all challenges.Richard has taught Rachel many things, especially how to understand how other people behave in her social circle. For Richard, being selective is important, and he believes that Rachel needs to surround herself with people who support her, not just those who want to take advantage of her situation.Many people tried to get close to Rachel, trying to find opportunities to benefit from being her friend. Rachel is now wiser in choosing her friends. She knows some people want to approach her because of her status as Richard's soon-to-be wife. Interestingly, Rachel also occasionally uses Richard's name in certain conversations or situations, a strategy that benefits her social circle and shows how close and supportive they are of each other."So, how did they res
The state of the waves that appeared in front of their eyes was currently in a severe situation; the wind continued to blow strongly, and the seaweed that previously seemed calm was now moving with high waves that continued to hit the shoreline repeatedly.Viewed from a certain angle, the sea waves seemed to hit the cliffs with such force that the sound could be heard roaring.From one of the buildings, James stared angrily at the angry sea. "Why is this happening again? How can this happen again to Richard?" he looked worriedly at the thought of his son's unknown whereabouts.It had been two days since it happened, and they still hadn't gotten a clear location of Richard's whereabouts, nor had they gotten any news from the man saying that he was in good condition."Is it possible that someone is after him again and planning to do something to him?" James' anxiety grew.In his old age, he became increasingly anxious whenever Richard's condition was unknown. Moreover, this was not just
