Warrick got out of the car, signaling that he had chosen the river bridge as the arena. Twelve people were waiting for him with guns drawn.Inside the car, Aelish watched the situation through the rearview mirror. After training with Jill, she was able to handle the matter with great composure.There was no reason to fear; Warrick was stronger than her. The only one she had to be concerned about was herself as the enemy could be targeting her as well.The twelve were made up of six men and women sent by Armora, the top security firm in Radix that offered bodyguard services to a range of customers.Many famous people used Armora's services, such as celebrities. The Nerelart family's Emerald Bank also chose Armora as a partner.Armora was managed by Hendrix, a member of The Orchid Combine. His wealth was too small to be compared to the others.But he was able to join the elite group because he had many bodyguards. He often provided his company's services for free, so no one protested ab
Stellar Investment Solutions has been active since last week. But Warrick never showed up officially to check on the condition of his company. He only got reports from his confidants.The Silent Shadow Bureau provided workers for SIS because not many wanted to work there due to its bad reputation in the past.Although Hugo did not ask for anything regarding his help, he benefited from being able to spy on SIS through the people he sent.Warrick was aware of that but unworried because he had no secrets to hide at SIS. A man in a neat suit greeted him and Aelish as soon as they arrived at the office."Thank you for welcoming us, Soren," Warrick thanked the man as he was led into a special room.Soren only gave a warm smile in return. He was the CEO appointed by Hugo to take care of SIS. Despite being moved to a different company, he did not object because of his commitment to the organization.Previously, he was a bigwig at a potential start-up. Without thinking twice, he left his job t
Aelish could not follow Warrick anymore since she was busy with her work. She was truly becoming the movie producer she had always hoped to be. But Mathew handed her a difficult project.Web series about school love were trending in Radix these days. CFT Entertainment did not want to miss the trend. For fear of losing the momentum, the production process had to be done as quickly as possible.It would not produce good work because the editing was done in a hurry. However, Aelish could not protest because she knew her position.Some employees disliked her presence. Besides, she realized she needed to fight hard to manage such a big project."What is this?" Aelish frowned as she read the contract provided by Zoey, one of the aspiring actresses set to feature in her web series. "You're asking for an unreasonable fee!"Miles snickered. "It's a standard fee. Zoey has a lot of followers on social media.""Your web series will be famous if I star in it," Zoey spoke in a haughty tone. "Just q
For days after the event, Scott's mind was troubled by Warrick's remarks. The food served by the five-star chef could not satisfy his lost appetite. To avoid being suspected of his unusual behavior, he chose to pretend to be ill.Since Iris had not contacted Scott, it meant Warrick was still keeping his mouth shut about the embezzlement. Scott wondered what Warrick wanted, but he was afraid of drawing attention if they met."I have no other choice. The others need to know about this!"Scott had not told his seven cousins yet, knowing they would panic and possibly make the wrong moves. But they were the only ones he could talk to.With the excuse of visiting Scott, they came to see him. He had pushed the servants from his room to prevent any leaks of information."Why did you tell us to come here?" Clarissa made a face of annoyance that she had to sacrifice her date for this emergency meeting.Brayden also showed his irritation through his tone. "I'll hit you in the head if we came for
All the SIS positive news put Warrick in a good mood. That allowed him to cut the budget for promotion. In an instant, the employees who had been irritated with him became respectful."I'm already aware of your greatness!" Gage did not want to lose an opportunity to win Warrick during this dinner. "I believe you can take SIS in a better direction. You've worked hard."Salespeople, consultants, and financial advisors were invited to the dinner since they were regarded as outstanding workers. Before SIS became viral, they were the ones who put in a lot of effort to convince potential clients.Apart from appreciating their hard work, Warrick also wished to be close to the workers. His absence must have lowered their trust."You all are the ones who've been working hard," Warrick responded to Gage's praise humbly. "To celebrate the rise of our company, you can order anything!"The specially rented room was silent for a moment before it was filled with shouts of delight from the workers. F
Damian let out a long sigh, staring at the dismissal letter given to him by HRD some time ago. There was no problem with his performance. The company was concerned about the number of people trying to attack him over the past two weeks.Those people would come to the restaurant every three days to harm Damian. Initially, his boss tolerated it because he claimed he was being harassed for no apparent reason.But the customer's comfort comes first. The assaults would continue to happen if Damian was employed, so he had to be fired."You got a bad expression on your face."Damian woke up from his reverie and found Warrick looking at him curiously. Having met in private to train in martial arts, this was their first public encounter.They usually relied on the phone to communicate. Warrick had sent several people from the SDA to protect Damian, so the attackers never hurt anyone."I'm a little upset about my job termination," Damian handed over his dismissal letter.Warrick read it briefly
"Madam, I have something important to tell you."The rich ladies turned to Grant, Iris's bodyguard. They were attending an event at a social organization to support education.Iris had warned her guards not to bother her. Seeing Grant dare to come to the auditorium meant something urgent was happening."Sorry I can't listen to the chairman's speech until the end," Iris said to her networks before leaving with Grant.The bodyguards were already waiting for her with irritated expressions. There were five people with them."What's wrong?"Grant quickly explained, "We got a report that Warrick came to the headquarters and met an auditor named Hayes.""You're bothering me just because of that?"Iris' sharp gaze made Grant's guts shrink a little. Although Iris was physically weaker than him, he could not overcome the threatening charisma she exuded."There's an important matter you should know. These five people are workers at the Emerald Bank that Warrick met. They suddenly came here and d
The first episode of the web series I Want to Know has finished filming. Through her performance, Jill won over the skeptics and earned their admiration. Due to schedule limitations, the filming resumed without a long break.Aelish believed the production process would continue well. But suddenly, Jane came to the set with three of her friends."I can't believe Dad made you a producer," Jane scanned the set and laughed loudly. "Who are these people? I don't know any of them!"The originally cheerful atmosphere turned awkward with Jane's arrival. They realized this project was only being done by ordinary people because of the limited budget.Even the male lead, Dashiell, had only featured in three films as an extra. No one wanted to take a role in Aelish's project even though she had offered money.As a result, only unknown actors and actresses were willing to accept Aelish's offer. It was clear that Mathew intended to humiliate her by not providing adequate support."It's good to see
