"What is it?" the voices of the people behind them could be heard loudly talking to each other. "So the necklace wasn't stolen by that man?" they didn't expect the uproar to end up being such a surprise.After the furor that ensued because of the accusations he made against Richard, it turned out that the necklace was not on Richard. Even after Richard repeatedly emphasized that he had not taken anything from Nadine, she did not believe him and would not listen to him in the slightest. She still insisted that Richard was the thief.Nadine was surprised when her eyes fell on a necklace with a red pendant handed to her by the woman, and she picked it up. "How can this necklace be on you?!" She exclaimed and looked at the woman in annoyance. "Did you steal it?"Richard stared at the woman dumbfounded after accusing her of quickly stealing his possessions, and now he switched to blaming someone else for doing it just because it was in that person's hands."Have you gone completely mad?"
"Once again, I apologize for my tardiness, sir." Milo bowed once again in front of Richard.Richard looked at him casually. After Milo took him to the private room rented by the hotel, Richard first sat on the single sofa with his legs crossed and glimpsed at the place. "Sit down," Richard said, pointing to the chair before him. He then pushed his shoulders back and leaned more on the sofa.Milo bowed his head softly. He briefly smiled at Richard, then sat there afterward. "I want to discuss what you asked me to do, sir."Richard picked up the bottle of wine on the table. He lowered his booted feet, now firmly planted on the floor. He poured the wine into his glass, shaking it gently before smelling the aroma and taking a gentle sip. "So, how did it go?" Richard turned his head slowly and casually, strangely making Milo nervous.Milo adjusted his sitting position to be a little more on the edge since he seemed to have taken out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his temples, even t
"Please wait a moment. I have something I want to talk to you about," she said to Richard, who was looking at her strangely.Everything about her had changed except her appearance, which was still wearing the same dress. But the look on her face and her careful demeanor when talking to Richard had changed greatly. She was no longer as arrogant and haughty as before, but to Richard, she was still as annoying as ever.Even dismissing her abruptly like this proves that she is still the same woman who only cares about her own interests without considering the interests of others.Richard looked at her reluctantly. "I don't have anything I want to talk to you about." His tone of voice, which seemed cold and deep, made the woman look nervous while twisting her hands.Richard was about to walk again, but Nadine stepped back and blocked his way again. She seemed a little timid as she kept trying to block Richard, but also brave. "Mr. Richard, I apologize for my attitude towards you earlier."
Richard was still staring at the local place with an observing gaze. Unlike the person who came to pick him up by helicopter, the people in that place did not respond to Richard so enthusiastically because Richard, who came to that place, did not claim to be the owner of the company but only came as a messenger.The people from the construction site only knew Richard as a company messenger sent to monitor the progress at the site. They considered Richard to be just another worker like him.A man in a yellow work hat came up to Richard with a blueprint he was carrying in his hand. "This is the blueprint you asked for." He handed the blueprint to him.Richard then picked it up and spread it out on a table. He read the blueprints carefully and began to gaze on the entire land. After looking at it, Richard realized that what was printed there and the part in progress was considerably different.He then tried to calculate, using his estimates, the extent to which the building should have s
"Please give me the same menu as him," Richard asked the middle-aged man behind the bar counter, who was wearing a worn-out old apron.The old man's appearance was enough to make Richard instinctively become wary. Judging by his hunter-like appearance, unfriendly demeanor, and sharp gaze, the man looked terrifying.He then rudely placed a beer in a glass on Richard's table. "I have never seen you in this place. Who are you, and what are you here for? Are you from the Villa above?" he asked fiercely.From the tone of voice and the expression on his face, Richard felt that something bad might have happened between the construction workers and the residents of the place. Right after the man mentioned the upper Villa, several people who enlivened the small dining place immediately looked at him.Richard glanced at the people calmly. He casually took a sip of his beer, ignoring their suspicious gazes. "I'm just passing through. My destination is Sagan city. But since it was getting late, I
After hearing what Larry had to say yesterday, Richard was convinced that it wasn't the villagers who were acting up, but the people handling the work on the ground who were causing the problem.So he went back to the Villa to rest and thought about what he would do to them. Those people had really played a trick on him by lying to him about something that could not have been simpler. There was a huge difference between the amount the company offered and the amount they offered those people.This morning, he woke up in the same Villa as those people, and an unimaginable scene appeared in front of him. Richard walked towards the dining table casually, though his eyes clearly observed what was happening.The workers, who had high positions in the project, seemed to be having a good time at the table, laughing and joking with each other when they should have been rushing around."What would you like me to prepare for breakfast, sir?" asked a waiter who had been hired by the company to or
"You idiot!" Albert cursed her without trying to hold back anymore. He, who originally pretended to be serious when talking about the land they still didn't own, no longer showed the charade he had made yesterday.The man's eyes then looked sharply at Richard. He was more than annoyed at Richard's attitude, which he found stupid and annoying. Being rigid in a situation like this was ridiculous to him. It would not lead to anything. What did he expect from those who did not even know what had been done in this place?Their superiors won't really appreciate what the field people are doing, the weather-related situation and the risks they face aren't things they need to think about, but when the construction on the site is completed, the people at the top will claim it as their hard work.Richard was still sitting in his place quietly. "You are taking what is not rightfully yours."Albert lowered his face, bringing the back of his hand closer, which hid a sardonic smile on his face. Then
"No way." Albert denied the confession, Richard said. He refused to believe it. "You must be joking! Stop lying, and let us go. Stop these people right now!" he shouted.Albert was in a rather crazed state. His calm gaze and the demeanor that he tried to appear like a leader no longer seemed to hold within him. He revealed his true character, and Richard labeled him as a greedy person. A person who did not know what should be his and what he should not expect.Richard took a step back, looking at Albert with an unexplainable gaze, but to Albert, that gaze was insulting. He felt Richard was judging and labeling him as pathetic. That made her temper flare up even more. He could not accept such an insult.Richard sat on the edge of the table with his arms crossed over his chest. "What's wrong with you?" Richard found Albert to have a complicated personality, more like Albert had a personality problem with his manipulative and impulsive attitude at times. "How can someone like you get awa
