"Damn! How annoying is that attitude!" Jasmine swore as she walked out of the party. She walked towards the parking lot, which should get her into the inner halls of the hotel, then walked towards the basement where their car was.He found Edmund's car around the corner, and just as likely, Edmund was heading for it as well. For a few moments, he exchanged glances with Jasmine, then signaled her to get into the car as he got in first.Jasmine, who had not been paying close attention to the expression on her face, got into the car with an annoyed expression. She sat down and closed the car door roughly, making Edmund watch her in astonishment.The man ignored the rude way she closed the door and focused more on Jasmine's situation, which was more important to him. "What's going on?" he asked the woman.Although Jasmine's attitude was annoying and harmful to Richard, it was not for him who liked Jasmine. He did not want to make her feel neglected or in a bad mood.Jasmine shook her shou
Richard walked into the gallery building where the diamond exhibition he wanted to visit was located. He picked up an event brochure that contained a lot of information about the cast titled Longing Stone: The Memory of You."Who is he longing for?" Richard read the exhibition's title with a smile. As he walked inside, he skimmed the information written there to know what this exhibition was for and who was the muse of his work this time.Upon entering, Richard's gaze immediately met the display case that showed a large diamond sculpture in the gallery's center.Like him, several others stopped nearby and stared at the diamonds reflecting the sparkling light. The dispersion of light exhibited by the diamond looked amazing, making the spy marvel at its sparkle."It's amazing how he placed all these diamonds in just the right order." A woman was there admiring a diamond stone that appeared before her eyes.Walking from there, Richard came across a necklace that was one of the main items
"He is a great person." Jasmine praised Daniel Grey after he finished his speech to the guests who had come that day for the exhibition he had organised after much planning.This was not the first time Daniel had organised an exhibition. He had previously organised a small exhibition financed from the money he collected. With great determination, he mortgaged his shop for the additional capital he needed, but he failed. The exhibition he held did not attract people to come, there were only a handful of people who saw it, but they left after a glance.Things had not gone well in the beginning, but not now. What she had worked for, along with Richard's support, paid off handsomely."He has great talent and luck." Jasmine's eyes were still looking at Daniel in amazement.Richard, who was near them, heard Jasmine's voice and glanced at her. Unlike Jasmine, Daniel didn't get this far because of his talent and luck. She saw for herself what kind of difficulties Daniel faced before he became
"Ah, I've been looking for you since earlier among the master's crowd." Daniel smiled with his face full of happiness.His feelings were at an unprecedented level. After a long life journey, at a certain stage, he could finally show himself in public with their recognition of him. At that time, he wanted to boast to those who knew his difficulties best, showing that he had been able and had now reached the highest point he had managed to achieve.Richard looked at him proudly. "Yes, I saw your head looking for something in the crowd earlier."Daniel responded with laughter. "I wanted to show you, Master. Showing that I'm competent and that you didn't pick the wrong person. That I did not waste your time and effort in helping me."Richard nodded his head. "Yes, it seems I did choose the right person."He knew what he was doing a few years ago by choosing Daniel as the person he wanted to support. He knew Daniel had great ability but had no chance to develop. He pretended not to care an
"What is this?" Jasmine made a slight mumble without being heard by anyone. Staring in confusion yet paying close attention to what was seen before him.She could see that Richard respected Daniel well from the way the man responded to her and took her at her word. He listened to Richard and responded well to him."What kind of relationship do they have? Why is Mr. Daniel being so nice to Richard? What don't I know about him?" Jasmine asked inwardly.She found it strange, especially since the man's trust in Richard didn't seem normal. Jasmine continued to watch him closely. "He said that Richard is a person he respects, so I'd better watch my manners carefully so that he doesn't mistreat me and take me the wrong way."Jasmine then lowered her head. She, who had hesitated to apologize in front of Richard, was now being more cautious. "He is an important person to you, so what has he done to you, sir?"Although she was trying to be polite, her curiosity sounded off. Daniel looked at her
"So, how are you?" asked James Marrison, Richard's father. The man, who looked to be in his late seventies, sat with his gaze fully on Richard.He seemed calm, waiting for Richard, who was enjoying dinner before him. Richard raised his gaze to his father, looking at him with the same calm demeanour. "I'm doing fine." He didn't feel anything special or anything like that.James moved his hands to place the spoons neatly to the left and right of his plate. "I know what you're doing back here," he said, his calm voice dominating the sound throughout the room.Although he had entered his senior years, he had not lost any of his charisma as the leader of a large company. He was still his old self, the centre of attention because of his abilities."I know you've been busy lately doing this and that." From the sound of it, he sounded interested in it. "I also know that you are carrying out your delayed plans." He mentioned them one by one.Richard nodded his head as he sipped his drink from
Smith watched Richard, who seemed to stay where he was, as he exited the car. He was buttoning the bottom of his shirt while smoothing it out. Richard's clothes didn't seem too flashy, but one thing that made his appearance steal the show was the pink cufflink that contrasted with the black suit he was wearing."You'll be fine, sir." Smith, who stood and waited for him to walk on his right side, spoke faintly so that no one would hear him.But her words, which meant nothing but encouraging him, bothered Richard. "Have you only known me for a year or two?" she asked without glancing at him.The sensitive Smith immediately bowed his head. "Of course not, sir." He denied that.He had long been Richard's servant from when Richard entered his teenage years, when Smith was still in his early twenties, not too far away from Richard's mid-teens. But even then, Richard was already mature-minded due to his position which required him to be wise and organized in many ways.Richard took a breath
"What's he talking about?" The youngest of the group of six, including the blond-haired man who had told them the story, spoke up. He looked Richard up and down nonchalantly.One of the men in his early forties with red-coloured hair looked at him while shaking his head slowly. "He's talking about nickel, an element of the earth in the form of a metal similar to gold, but of course, in competition, nickel cannot be considered a match." He explained seriously.The young man glared at him. "I know about nickel and gold being metals. That's not what I meant. "What I'm wondering is why he suddenly talked to us about it?" he said with half emotion, his mannerisms not good enough considering the man named Armani was the youngest.Rey rolled his eyes in disgust. "Why don't you just ask him?" He replied in a sarcastic tone.Armani snorted, glancing at him curtly, then looked at Richard, who had caused the argument between them while he was listening and listening well to what Mr. Olson, the b
