Arnold sipped his wine while looking at the watch on his wrist. It's been an hour since Louissa went to the toilet, and she hasn't come back. Worry began to creep over Arnold. Louissa was not his girlfriend or the woman he liked, but she was Arnold's responsibility because she came there with him. Arnold had to make sure Louissa was safe. Arnold decided to go to the toilet. He was afraid that Louissa would faint in the toilet. He was forced to enter the women's toilet area to check whether Louissa was still there or not. But when he got there, there was no one in the toilet; even all the toilet doors were open. Arnold took a deep breath as he took his cell phone from his pocket. He tried calling Louissa, but her number was out of reach.“I feel something is odd. Why did Louissa suddenly leave the party?" Arnold asked to himself. He rushed to leave the venue and wanted to check on Louissa at her apartment. Who knows, that woman might be there. When Arnold arrived at the entrance of th
After finding Louissa in the toilet, Antonie forced her to go with him. Louissa rejected his advances, but he threatened to destroy Louissa's career and even attacked her family. This frightened Louissa, considering how powerful the Gatsby family was in the business world.She didn't want anything bad to happen to her family. This forced Louissa to want to go with him. When leaving the party venue, Antonie took Louissa's cell phone and turned it off.Louissa left Serafina's party as she cried. Antonie had warned her to be quiet and not show any suspicious behavior in front of the people there, even though Louissa's cries were proof that she couldn't lie about her fear.Antonie took Louissa to the Blue Summer Hotel, a five-star hotel that belonged to the Gatsby family. He took Louissa to a presidential suite, with high privacy and security there. He was sure no one would catch them there.Arriving at the presidential suite, Antonie started drinking and forced Louissa to do the same. Lo
Louissa looked at Arnold weakly; she looked dazed. "Arnold, I'm afraid," she said in a weak voice.“There's nothing you need to be afraid of. You are with me now. He won't hurt you," responded Arnold, trying to calm Louissa while hugging her. This was a pure sympathy hug, not because Arnold had any special feelings for her.“We better get out of here now!” Arnold held Louissa's hand and was about to turn around, but Louissa stopped him from leaving.“Arnold, I'm afraid.”Arnold looked at Louissa with a frown. He didn't understand what Louissa was afraid of.“Tell me, what are you afraid of? You are with me now; no one will hurt you. So let's get out of here immediately," persuaded Arnold.Louissa looked at Arnold with tears in her eyes; she seemed hesitant to speak.“Louissa!” Arnold grabbed Louissa's shoulders and glared at her. He wanted Louissa to speak the truth, not cry and ask Arnold to guess what was happening.“When he wanted to rape me, I accidentally hit him on the head with
Antonie's vision, which was originally a little blurry, turned clear. He looked up and saw that the roof of the room was different from the roof of the presidential suite room he occupied last night. His gaze turned to the front, and he saw a man glare at him with anger. Antonie didn't recognize the man, but from his expression, he could conclude that he clearly hated him.Arnold's broad shoulders managed to hide Louissa's body, even though her hair was still visible. Antonie noticed the woman's hair behind Arnold's body, a sign that there was a woman standing there."Who are you?" Antonie asked.“Who I am is not important. But what is clear is that from this moment on, I ask you to stop disturbing Louissa's life!" Arnold ordered.Antonie snorted. A smirk appeared at the corner of his lips. Even though he was still quite weak, he wouldn't let anything stop him from being with Louissa."Who are you? Do you also like Louissa? If you really like Louissa, then fight like a man!" replied A
Louissa was still silent. She still couldn't process this incident.“Sorry, but have I done something wrong? I don't think I've ever done anything wrong. So far, I have always worked professionally," said Louissa.There was a brief silence on the call. Louissa pondered and tried to remember what she might have done wrong, but she couldn't find anything. She didn't offend anyone ... except the Gatsby family!Louissa's eyes widened when she remembered the Gatsby family. She believed that now they were targeting her and making her lose her job."Is all this at the request of the Gatsby family?" Louissa asked bluntly.The management was shocked to hear Louissa's question, but they answered honestly.“That's right, Louissa. We apologize for that. Gatsby's family was very influential. If we don't carry out their orders, they will destroy this agency. Even in 2 weeks, there will be a fashion show in this city, and the Gatsby family is the main sponsor," explained the manager of the agency.L
[Rachel: Good afternoon.]Rachel continued to stare at her cell phone screen, and her heart suddenly beat fast when she saw that the message sent to @asimpleman had been read. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to relieve her nervousness a little.Rachel believed the person behind the @asimpleman account was a man with power. She could even feel her heart beating fast just by talking to him through messages.[Arnold: Good afternoon.]Arnold replied briefly. He didn't want to make small talk with Rachel or find a topic first. He was just curious about Rachel's purpose in continuing to send him messages. If this time Rachel still insisted on asking about @asimpleman's real identity, then she would only be disappointed. Arnold would not reveal his identity.[Rachel: How are you?][Arnold: Fine.]Rachel's expression turned grim. In her entire life, she had never received such cold treatment from a man. Even Victor, who was a rich man in the country, adored her in the first place.
"Ms. Rachel, do you know who he really is?" Amelie asked.Rachel shook her head while crossing her hands over her stomach. "I don't know who he is; that's why I will come to see him tonight," she replied. “Please, don't go! This is very dangerous!” There was worry on Amelie's face. The owner of the account was still mysterious, and there was no information about him on the internet to date. Amelie was afraid that the person behind the account was a criminal, a kidnapper, or even a serial killer. Rachel chuckled before speaking. “Amelie, what's dangerous? Do you know the meaning of a gold tick account on BeYou?” She asked her assistant because she knew that Amelie only had an account on the platform. Amelie didn't really update there, and she even almost never watches Rachel's streams.Amelie shook her head slowly. “I don't know for sure, but what is clear is that a tick account is a sign that the owner of the account is someone who is famous and has a large number of followers. But
Rachel stood in front of Arnold, full of questions. She had no idea how someone as poor as Arnold could set foot in such a luxurious restaurant. Security should have kicked him out when he was at the gate."Hey, what are you doing here?" Rachel exclaimed.Arnold sipped his wine slowly and just gave Rachel a glance. He acted nonchalantly toward his ex-wife.“I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?” Rachel spoke at such a high pitch that her voice made several of the guests around them look at them.Arnold turned his gaze to Rachel. He spoke in a mocking tone. “Keep your voice down. You're in a fancy restaurant now. Don't disturb other guests. You don't seem used to being in a fancy place like this."Rachel snorted as she folded her hands across her stomach. This sentence sounded ridiculous to her, especially since it came from the mouth of a loser like Arnold."What? Did I hear correctly?” Rachel chuckled. “You should have told yourself that! I'm sure this is your first time at a luxurious p
Hello guys, i'm so sorry for taking very long holidays, and my bad I didn't tell you. I'd like to announce that i will start to continue this book on 28 November. Thank you so much for you all who still follow Arnold's journey. You all very dear to me.
The next day, Arnold invited Elizabeth to tour New York City. They went with a driver.Arnold wore a black shirt and cream linen pants, with dark sunglasses. Meanwhile, Elizabeth wore a knee-length dress and a wide-brimmed hat that covered part of her face.They came to the most luxurious mall in the city. There were only shops selling branded goods with fantastic prices. Not everyone had the courage to set foot there.They entered the mall and were greeted with luxury in every corner. On the first floor, there was a showroom displaying luxury cars.Elizabeth's gaze was fixed on the cars. "Look, I think those are the latest and limited edition cars," she said. "Arnold, I'm interested in seeing the cars there!"Arnold turned toward the showroom and commented. "Didn't Grandma come here to buy clothes?"Elizabeth nodded. "Yes, but visiting a car showroom is not a problem."They walked past the car showroom but did not go in. The salespeople waved at them, hoping they would stop by.They
Lumina furrowed her brows. “CEO? Who? I admit that I did pour boba drink on a man, but he is not the CEO. He’s—” Her words stopped when she saw Arnold in her sight.When Arnold arrived there, the audience immediately made way for him. Arnold came there wearing complete formal attire. He wore a gray suit with a black shirt.Seeing Arnold’s formal appearance, Lumina’s eyes widened in surprise. Mario looked back and saw Arnold walking towards them.After wearing formal attire, Arnold’s aura looked so different. Even Lumina was now fascinated by his handsomeness.“Mr. Arnold,” said Mario.Hearing her father call Arnold formally made Lumina’s jaw drop.Her voice stammered. “Who is he, Dad? I admit that I poured it on him, because I thought he was—” Before Lumina could finish her sentence, Mario interrupted her.“Lumina! No matter what someone’s position is, you don’t deserve to do something bad like that to them. Have I ever taught you to do bad things like that? Have I ever taught you to
Rochelle's eyes widened when she saw Arnold who had just returned to the room. She rose from her seat and rushed to Arnold."Master, what happened?" Rochelle asked with a gasp.Mario, who was enjoying his wine, turned to Arnold and then he gasped."Mr. Arnold, what happened to you? Who did this?" Mario asked as he rose from his seat. He put down his wine glass and approached Arnold with concern.Arnold stared at Mario coldly. His attitude seemed to change one hundred and eighty degrees.Mario did not do that to him, but his daughter Lumina was the one who did it. Arnold did not want to work with someone who acted arrogantly like that woman. If he continued to work with Mario, it would be the same as him providing a source of income for Lumina.Arnold did not answer Mario's question. He acted indifferent to him, as if Mario were not there.Mario felt something strange in Arnold's attitude. He approached him and tried to ask what was going on."Mr. Arnold, are you okay?" Mario asked wit
Arnold and Rochelle had finished a meeting with a valuable client. The meeting yielded good results for them.After the meeting, Arnold returned to his office. He sat on a sofa near the window. From the sofa, he could see the view of New York City from the top of the building.Arnold was chatting via text message with the doctor who was treating Angela. A happy smile played on his face looking at Angela's health report.Suddenly, a knock on the door distracted his gaze. Arnold responded briefly."Come in."The door swung open, revealing Charles who came there with a document in his hand."Young master, I am delivering a cooperation proposal from Mario Fulcar," Charles explained.The man took a seat beside Arnold. He handed his master the document.Arnold accepted the document and commented. "Hmm, this company's track record is quite good. This is quite impressive."Charles nodded, he replied. "I have also found out about Mario Fulcar, and I feel that he and his company are worthy of y
As promised, today Arnold moved Oliver to the best hospital in New York City. Riana looked around at the luxurious hospital in amazement."Young master, I have lived here for 27 years, but I have never set foot here. This hospital is very luxurious," said Riana with a little chuckle."In addition to the luxurious building, this hospital has doctors who are much more professional," replied Arnold.They entered Oliver's room. After seeing Oliver's condition, Arnold wanted to help Riana get a better life. He wanted Riana to live in a more decent apartment."Riana." Arnold's voice made her turn to him."Yes, young master?""I want you to get a better life by moving to a new apartment. The plan is, I will take you to choose an apartment room this afternoon," conveyed Arnold.Riana was taken aback. She shook her head. "You don't need to do that for me, young master. Helping Oliver get better treatment is more than enough for me," she said while cupping her palms.“Please accept my help,” Ar
The next day, Arnold visited Riana's house. The woman lived in a small apartment with very simple facilities. Seeing this, Arnold felt concerned.After visiting her house, Arnold and Riana go to the hospital to see Oliver, Riana's only son.Along the way to the hospital, they exchanged stories. Arnold felt sorry to know that Riana had experienced domestic violence from her husband. Not only that, Riana's husband had also neglected his wife and son since Oliver was 5 years old.They had arrived at a hospital on the outskirts of New York City. The hospital was not the best hospital there. Riana was only able to take her son to this hospital due to financial issues."Riana, has Oliver been treated in this hospital from the start?" Arnold asked while looking around.Riana nodded. "Yes, young master. I can't afford to take him to a more expensive hospital."They had arrived in front of Oliver's room. The door was slightly open, and Arnold could see a doctor in the room.Seeing Riana and Ar
Arnold was taken aback. “You were my babysitter?” His voice was trembling; he could not believe he met someone from his family’s past there.The woman nodded convincingly. “Yes, young master. I used to work as your babysitter. My name is Riana; you can ask your family if you don’t believe what I say.”Arnold remembered the story from his grandmother. Elizabeth said that during the accident, Arnold and his babysitter were not found there. This had sparked negative speculation that pointed to Riana.“But why have you been missing since that day? Are you hiding something?” Arnold’s expression changed to a stern one. He looked at Riana with suspicion.Riana took a deep breath before speaking.“After the car’s brakes failed and the car hit a big tree, your parents died instantly on the spot, young master. I had fainted, and the voice of your crying woke me up. I cried in fear as I looked around me. We were the only ones alive. Then suddenly, I saw a group of masked men approaching our car.
After Arnold got up from his position, the thug immediately got up and took out all the money he had gotten from the merchants. He handed the money to Arnold.“This is all the money I got from them. There is nothing left. Please let me go from here,” he implored.Arnold smirked. “Okay, you can get out of here. But if you dare to set foot here again, then I won’t hesitate to cripple you!” He threatened while pointing his finger at the thug.The thug nodded fearfully. “I promise I won’t set foot here again.” After this, he immediately left the place.Arnold carried the merchants’ money in his hand. He approached the merchants, and they cheered for his victory. He put all the money on the table. He invited the merchants to take their money in an orderly manner.“Young man, you are our hero!”“We are so glad you came to save us.”“What can we do to repay your kindness?”Their kind words moved Arnold. He smiled at them.“You don’t have to do anything to repay me for all this. I am very hap
