“Arnold? What is he doing here?"The man looking at Arnold with unblinking eyes was none other than Vin. He was the manager of The Drunken Chicken restaurant. He came to the event as a representative of Samuel Ginn, who was the owner of The Drunken Chicken itself. Neither Arnold nor Vin expected to meet there. Arnold had checked the list of names of the business partners of The Winster Group, but of course he saw the name Samuel Ginn instead of Vin.Everyone in the conference hall knew that they would be introduced to the new CEO of The Winster Group. They were waiting for the arrival of someone who would become the number one person in the company. Everyone whispered and guessed at each other when they saw Arnold's presence.“Is he the new CEO of The Winster Group?”“I've never seen him before. He is young and very handsome.”“Is he a member of the Winster family?”Vin, who heard everyone around him guessing at each other, also spoke. “No, he is not the new CEO of The Winster Group.
Angeline straightened her back and smiled at Arnold. She tried to give Arnold the best first impression she could. Her gaze shifted to Arnold's bandaged hand.“Sorry, what happened to your hand?" Angeline asked. Worry was evident in her tone.One of Arnold's hands was holding his bandaged hand. "I had a motorbike accident," he lied. Of course, he didn't want to discuss the dark incident of that night with strangers like Angeline. Even though Angeline was his business partner, she was not someone close to Arnold.“I'm so sorry for that. Next time, you have to be more careful.”“Thank you so much, Ms. Angeline.”“You don't need to call me formally like that. Just call me Angeline," requested Angeline.“Okay, Angeline. Then call me Arnold.”Angeline's cheeks immediately turned red when Arnold dropped his formal address. This meant she could get closer to the man.“Arnold, what do you do in your spare time? What are your hobbies?" Angeline asked.“I usually spend my time reading books in
Several guests around Vin gasped when they saw two security officers coming towards them and immediately dragged Vin away from there."Let's get out of here quickly!" the security guard exclaimed."What happened?" Vin asked, panicking. Even though, in his mind he could already guess that this was an order from Arnold.After finding out that Arnold was the new CEO of The Winster Group, Vin's heart stopped beating, and he was very scared. He was very worried that his actions would have an impact on the cooperation carried out by The Winster Group with the company where he worked. But those fears subsided for a moment when he saw that Arnold seemed focused on enjoying the event and was busy with his guests. Vin thought that Arnold must have forgotten about the incident in the toilet. But apparently Vin was totally wrong. Arnold continued to demand responsibility for the actions he committed.The gazes of all the guests turned to Vin, who was forcibly evicted from the event. They gossiped
Arnold fell silent when he heard Louissa's invitation. He wasn't sure about going to the party with her. Finding Arnold who was silent, Louissa tried to convince Arnold. “This is Serafina Corrand's 25th birthday party. She is my friend. There will be many famous people attending the party, one of whom is Victor Galvoir.”Arnold's eyes immediately widened when he heard the man's name. “Victor Galvoir?”"Do you know him?"“No, I don't know him. I've only ever heard of his name," Arnold replied while shaking his head, even though Louissa couldn't see his gesture directly. “I heard that Victor already has a fiancee. Will his fiancee come with him?” Arnold asked.Arnold saw this as an opportunity to get revenge on his ex-wife. He would surprise them by showing Arnold's true self. Even though he didn't expect Rachel to come back to him, Arnold wanted to see regret on her face.“I think so. He will come with Rachel Aderwin," stated Louissa.Arnold closed his eyes as he sighed heavily. Even t
Albert opened the document thrown by the manager, and he found that it was a document he made. He gulped harshly and spoke in a confused tone. “Mr. Donald, what happened? I don't feel like I've done anything wrong," asked Albert.Donald pulled one of his lips into a grin. He laughed at Albert, who felt innocent."Look at the documents and offers you have made, Albert. You can't make a deal with a client because of this. I've been paying attention to the performance of the staff for the last 3 months, and you are the most passive staff! You can't work well. I've tried to give you a chance to prove it, but you really can't do it well. So I decided today is your last day working here!” The statement that came out of the manager's mouth shocked Albert. This was the worst news for Albert today.Even though Albert's work performance for his manager was very bad, he had tried his best. What's more, in the last 3 months, Albert's mother often went to the hospital emergency room, and sometimes
Arnold accompanied Albert to the Blackpearl Luxury Realty office. Albert's heart was beating fast when he got out of the cab, cold sweat soaking his hairline. He fell silent and froze in front of the magnificent gate of the office.“What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Arnold grabbed Albert's hand, and he invited him to enter the office area.Their arrival was greeted by two guards. They looked at Arnold and Albert with probing gazes. The general manager has received an order from Arnold that Albert will come today, and Arnold ordered the general manager to give Albert a job. But apparently, the two guards didn't know about the order. It could be seen from their gazes that they looked at the duo with disdain.Albert wore a white shirt, black trousers, and a black tie. He had some documents for applying for a job in his hand.Meanwhile, Arnold came there wearing a white hoodie and cargo pants. He covered his head with his hoodie."What are you doing here? This is not a place for people
Arnold saw a woman being dragged by a man in his late 30s. The man's gaze was focused on the woman, so he didn't notice Arnold's presence who was standing not far from them."Come on, dear. You don't need to act like that. I will give you everything you want if you obey my wishes," said the man persuading her. They walked towards a warehouse, which was located near an emergency stairs."No, let me go!" shouted the woman in a hoarse voice. It seemed like the woman had lost her voice from screaming too much, but no one came to help her until Arnold finally found them.Hearing the man's words made Arnold think that the man must be planning something bad for her. He would not allow that vile plan to be carried out.“Get your hands off her, jerk!” Arnold exclaimed.Arnold's voice made them turn around. The man frowned when he saw Arnold's presence. Meanwhile, the woman looked at Arnold with hope in her eyes. “Help me, sir; please free me from him! He wants to rape me,” the woman pleaded.
Amancio immediately kneeled at the manager's feet with a pitiful face. He begged him not to be fired from his job.“Please sir, don't fire me. I admit all my mistakes, and I promise this will not happen again," he promised.“No second chances for you!” shouted the manager as he kicked Amancio's body until the man fell to the floor. "Now get out of here quickly because this isn't your place to work anymore!" he ordered in a high tone.Amancio had no other choice but to obey the manager's orders. He no longer has a position here and inevitably has to leave there now.“Sir, but please give me a chance by not making my name bad. I still need work elsewhere. If all companies hear about my bad image, then no one will want to accept me," implored Amancio, cupping his palms in supplication. Tears welled up in his eyes, showing how remorseful the man was.The manager glanced at Arnold. If Amancio's name was tarnished and he ended up not being accepted to work at any company, then surely the pe
