Mr. River didn't answer; he smiled because he was thinking about something. The look in his eyes seemed to imply he knew everything, but Dennis' secret shouldn't be known to everyone so quickly. 

"What do you know about him, sir?" Cory demanded; who knew River knew something?

"Me?" River pointed at himself, then chuckled. "I don't know anything about that foreign man. "He's just a lucky man to be able to sit in his current position," explained Mr. River, but Cory narrowed his eyes as if he knew this old man was hiding something from him.

"No way," hissed Cleo, thinking the same thing as Cory. "I know he wasn't that lucky. There's no way he could suddenly be in that position, Sir," Cleo became increasingly uncomfortable in her position.

    Dennis took a deep breath and opened the door as hard as possible. "Any guests for me?" Dennis asked Romaria, who knew that the owner of this club would be furious if anyone eavesdropped on his conversation.David looked awkward in front of Dennis, then chuckled before finally holding his hand to Dennis. "Hi, I came to talk about…"Slap!Dennis's hand flew so hard that it landed on David's left cheek, which immediately touched his cheek."Wh–why did you slap me?"Dennis widened his eyes as if David knew he was unhappy about Cory's cousin's presence. "You shouldn't be here!" Dennis was annoyed and then pointed towards the exit. "Go!"<

    "Why are you silent?" asked David, realizing that his words had succeeded in influencing Cory."No!" Cory answered, choosing to walk away from David because he didn't want his brother's words to destroy his relationship with Cleo, which he had been protecting all this time, torn to pieces."Where are you going, you loser!" shouted David, who was not finished with his anger."I want to go!" Cory shouted angrily, then walked away.Dennis, who saw Cory's fight with David, just smiled from a distance. He realized that the worst revenge for Cory was to make him continue fighting with his brother, not by letting him sit on the bench or firing him from the club he now leads, but by making the man who divorced Cleo him from Cleo.This realization made Dennis's smile even wider, and it felt like he was getting closer to the gate of the destruction of Cleo and Cory's life, which had left him with deep wounds."Sir, the team coach wants to meet you," s

    "It's not like that, Dennis," Rob looked embarrassed. "Hehehe! I do not mean,""Coach, don't call him Dennis. He's our President now," Romania stopped Rob's words. "You have to call him Mr. President.""Oh!" Rob put his palms together in front of his chest. "Sorry, Mr. President. I was rude to you,""It's okay, Romaria. Maybe he just forgot. I don't mean to be presumptuous."Rob's eyes glanced sharply at Romaria, who had been observing her confused face. "Okay, I'll just say goodbye. "I know what your decision is, Mr President," said Rob as he prepared to get up."Yeah, go!" said Romaria irritably.

    "Yes, sir. I know you want to know everything, and let me tell you, after all this time, I kept all this a secret."Doctor Martin kept his words as if the man before him was not the Dennis he had previously helped so that the President would not lose his authority.Martin then told us about Dennis's past, which was a target for everyone because someone powerful didn't want him to become a great player at the club where they played.This strong figure was mysterious and very scary, and it was so frightening that everyone obeyed, especially when the figure asked all the players to injure the man who was now the club president."Who's he?" asked Dennis, who felt Martin's story was too complicated and understandable."If you ask who, honestly, I don't know. But what is certain is that this figure hates Dennis. He wants Dennis removed from every upcoming match played, and he didn't want anyone to know about the plan," "Who?" Dennis h

    "He is Mr. Rollin,"Suddenly, Dennis' heartbeat stopped, and his eyes became clear crystals full of emotion. "He?""Yeah, I might not have proof for you, Honey. "But I know that from the stories of many people out there," Olivia continued."Rollin," Dennis hissed as he touched his chest, which was beating rapidly again. "Why would he do that to me?""For the reason I don't know, I hope you can find the reason,"Dennis fell silent again; this time, the image of his mother slowly filled his eyes. Is it possible that because he was born from his mother's womb, the man who was supposed to protect him made him always perform poorly on the field?Dennis remained silent until Olivia's warm body finally hugged him again. "Calm down, Dennis. "I know this isn't easy for you, but believe me, we will find out who is the person most responsible for your past," Oliva's fingertips then touched Dennis' cheek, which was already wet wi

    "That's what I can't get the answer to," said Romaria then looked down. He knew this answer was significant for Dennis, but unfortunately, no one could give a definite answer to Mr Rollin's hatred for this young man.Romaria's head looked down in disappointment when Mr. River actually smiled at Dennis. "But he paid his dues, right?" he said lightly, as if this was not a big problem."No! Not yet!" Dennis said, then looked at the wall where a photo of his biological father was still displayed. "I've only finished a small part of it. I still want to find answers to many things starting today."Romaria stood up and said. "So what do you want to know now, Sir?""Later, young master," Mr. River asked. Then he turned to Romaria and looked at her as if giving her a code to leave without saying a word.Romaria, who understood what Mr. River meant, then turned around and left the room. He didn't want to make the two critical men in the company wait to

    "Yes, Sir. But please be careful. I don't want them to attack you when you're off guard," said Romaria. Dennis immediately nodded, understanding his assistant's words."You are right! They can attack directly, so they can attack me when I'm off guard,"Romaria smiled tightly when she heard Dennis' words. "Then just tell me what I should do now, Sir,"Dennis glanced at his assistant and then remembered Olivia, who was shopping at the mall. "It looks like I must have lunch before continuing my work today. My head is too tense after all this.""Okay," Romaria said, opening the tab screen in her hand. She then started looking for a comfortable restaurant for Dennis to have lunch at. "Sir, would you like to have lunch at an Italian restaurant or cafe?""Italian food seems to suit me and Olivia,""Okay," Romaria immediately booked a table for Dennis, then looked up again. "The table is ready for your lunch at 1 pm,""Good, then I'll g

    Dennis was still annoyed because of the fight he had with the man he met at the mall, so he could only remain silent on the way to the restaurant. However, when the car carrying him passed in front of the restaurant parking lot, and Cleo's car was there, his face smiled broadly again."I think we found the right place for lunch," Dennis said, and Olivia looked at him in confusion."Why are you suddenly so happy?" Olivia asked before getting out of the car."Just go down first. You'll know what I mean once we arrive at the table Romaria reserved for us,"Dennis and Olivia stepped into the restaurant, and Cleo was shocked to see Olivia walking comfortably next to her ex-husband."Hhkc! "If it weren't for Dennis, Olivia would just be a cheap model," Cleo, annoyed at her friends who were having lunch with her."Yes, you're right. Besides, we know that Dennis is a weak man. "I don't know what luck it was that allowed him to sit in such an importa

    Sure, here's the revised text for clarity and correct grammar:Sure enough, it wasn't long before Dorothy and Cleo said goodbye to Cory to go to town. There was a new luxurious and viral restaurant in the city center that they had to visit before the trend passed. Seeing his girlfriend leave the house, Cory and David began to execute their plan to beat Ricky, which they knew wouldn't be easy in the daylight. They decided to wait until night and turn off the house lights when Ricky was alone in the dining room.Of course, that was a very good idea. They prepared to launch their attack on Ricky as planned, but unfortunately, Ricky didn't come into the dining room as they had hoped. Annoyed, Cory stepped closer to Ricky, who was in the living room, and invited him to eat. "Bro, you should dinner. Let's dinner. I'm already sleepy!"Ricky's brow furrowed. He thought, if Cory was sleepy, then he should just go to sleep. Why was he telling him to eat? Sensing something strange, the tall, bi

    Here's a revised version of your text for clarity and readability:Ricky stood up angrily and looked down in front of Cleo. "I don't understand why Miss's boyfriend said that to me. I may be a traitor, but I hope you won't forget my brother who was with you yesterday, sir!"Hah!Cory, who overheard Ricky's words, immediately thought of Rika, Ricky's younger sister, whom he had been intimate with the previous night. He looked nervous before approaching Ricky to intervene. "Sir, I'm sorry about what happened earlier." Cory then put his arm around Ricky and guided him away from Cleo.Cleo found this sudden change confusing. Earlier, her lover had accused Ricky of betrayal, yet now he was apologizing. "What's wrong with him?" she muttered, narrowing her eyes.Ricky led Cory to a corner of the house where Cleo couldn't hear them. In a somewhat mocking tone, Cory straightened Ricky's shirt collar and said, "You could have threatened me in front of Cleo. Well done!"Ricky smiled at Cory's ne

    Romaria was silent for a while before finally saying. "It's my business with that savage, sir. I don't want you meddling in my business!"Dennis frowned then said. "I won't let you go alone to see that man again. I know he has no morals so it's too dangerous for me to let you carry out your own plans,""No!" Romaria said firmly and stood up. "I don't want your help. This is my business with him."Seeing the anger on his assistant's face, Dennis finally just let Romaria go even though in his heart he still wouldn't be willing if something bad would happen to Romaria. Seeing that Dennis was silent, Ricky then approached Dennis and said. "Why are you silent? Do you really not care about that woman anymore?"Dennis scratched his chin and then fixed his eyes on Ricky. "I have a plan but only you know about it."Dennis then told Ricky all about his plan and the man with the plump head agreed to Dennis' plan which sounded fun and would really help Romaria when she was really under threat.Bu

    Romaria quickly slipped off her clothes, causing Ricky's eyes to widen. Her body ignited Ricky's desire, but he only gazed at her beautiful figure and then began taking photos of Romaria with the sleeping Cory.Once Ricky had all the photos Romaria needed, he handed the beautiful girl's phone back to her and walked towards the door. "I hope you'll be alright until this despicable man wakes up from his slumber,"Romaria smiled and walked towards the door after covering her beautiful body with her silk kimono. "Yes, I'll be fine, Ricky. See you tomorrow morning at the boss's house,"Of course, Romaria wouldn't mention her boss's name even though Cory's eyes were still closed. Dennis' assistant had to keep her identity tightly sealed for all her plans.The next day, Romaria had already bathed and was sitting next to the still exhausted Cory, then she gently kissed the man's lips as if they had a special bond that could never be broken.Cory who felt the softness of the beautiful girl's l

    Hahaha! You always mistake me for someone else," Romaria chuckled at Cory's accurate guess but then took a sip of the beer in front of her. "Come on, that's already happened. Do I need to explain again who I really am?"Romaria's confident response left Cory speechless. He was indeed suspicious of Romaria but still not entirely convinced. "Alright, if you are not Dennis's assistant, then what is your name? Show me your ID card so I can be sure you're not that woman!" Cory demanded, causing Romaria's face to turn pale."Why is he overthinking?" whispered Romaria as she tried to find a way to meet Cory's request, who was on the verge of uncovering all of Cleo's secrets."You surely don't have what I'm asking for, do you?" Cory stood up and roughly grabbed Romaria's still pale hand.Dennis's assistant pondered intensely to find an ID card to dispel Cory's doubts, but Cory, sensing her thoughts, rudely grabbed Romaria's hand and forcefully pushed her beside the bed. Romaria whimpered in p

"Am I still strong?"Romaria smiled, pleased that her scheme had worked on the naive man. "Yes, you ignite me."Cory passionately kissed Romaria, causing her to sigh tenderly. "Tonight, I will return to your room, my dear!" Cory playfully teased her that morning.After tidying up together, Cory swiftly dressed and bid farewell to Romaria before heading back to Cleo's house, who always looked down on him.Despite Cleo's growing hostility, Cory had to go back to that house as he had many plans with Dennis' ex-wife, who he believed was nearing success.Romaria informed Dennis about the previous night's events, and although Dennis appeared concerned, she managed to reassure him that her plan was progressing smoothly. She hoped to further captivate Cory that night and extract Cleo's plans from him.Dennis agreed to the plan, though he

"You came here to keep tabs on me, didn't you!" Cory exclaimed, causing Romaria's face to flush red.Luckily, as Cory was about to unleash his anger, Ricky, who recognized Romaria, quickly approached and grasped Cory's sharp index finger, which was pointing at Dennis's assistant's face. "Sir, I apologize. Did my sister do something wrong?" Ricky asked with a smile.Hah!Cory turned to look at the woman he thought was Romaria. "Is this woman your sister?" Cory inquired, appearing puzzled. "Isn't she Dennis's assistant?"Ricky chuckled at Cory's words and then lifted Romaria's chin, whom he had previously met at Dennis's residence.

    Before allowing Ricky to leave, the tall man, Dennis, then said to Ricky, "Don't make me regret giving you a second chance."Ricky nodded firmly. "Yes, of course!"Ricky then left Dennis and let the wealthy businessman enjoy the rest of his vacation with Olivia and Romaria, while the bald man decided to leave earlier and meet Cleo to report on his work in Bali.Of course, the tall man lied to Cleo about his success in causing harm to Dennis just to protect his family while Dennis was still enjoying the remainder of his vacation.Cleo, who listened to Ricky's lies, felt pleased and then offered red wine to her employee. "So you succeeded in trapping Dennis in the waves on that island?" Cleo's hearty laughter reverberated in her quiet home.Ricky grinned to conceal his deception.
