Karina followed Dustin all the way to the cafe. She saw Dustin talking to Lewis but couldn't hear what they were talking about because her table was quite far away.Karina played with her fingertips on the table while pretending to look at the menu book. "What exactly are they talking about? They don't look like the owner and leader of the company. Could it be true that the friend Dustin is referring to is Mr. Lewis? But why would Mr. Lewis trust Dustin with everything?"Karina thought the meeting between Dustin and Lewis would last for a long time, but it didn't take more than half an hour for them to chat, after which Lewis left Dustin's presence. This was an opportunity for Karina to find out what they were talking about by asking Dustin directly.Karina got up from her chair, about to approach Dustin. But her footsteps stopped when she saw a woman who had been saved by Dustin appear. "That's the woman in the photo when Dustin caught the mugging that Vera sent me, right?"Carla wav
Karina rolled her eyes, got up and left Dustin. Meanwhile, Dustin looked confused and thought that Karina was jealous of him. He smiled at the thought. Dustin slipped ten dollars into the bill on the table and got up to go after Karina. But it turned out that Karina was already gone, leaving in her own car.Dustin smiled slightly as he stuffed his hands into his pants pockets. "Are you starting to like me, Karina?" He muttered to himself as he shook his head, then went to the parking lot to drive his car back to work at the office.On the other hand, Albert met Lewis at the cafe. The meeting really made Lewis feel happy and honoured. They faced each other seriously as if they were having an important business meeting.Albert's eyes looked deeply into Lewis'. "Sir, my intention in meeting you was to thank you for your actions. But Mr Yosan said Mr Dustin should not work at your company. Mr Dustin should be in a higher place. Working at Cloa is not right for him. So, Mr Dustin will no l
Rumours spread about the Kendrick family that it would expand by creating a new company that would become another big one. Of course, this made the people who worked and were loyal to the Kendrick family very busy taking care of the work issues.Some of the big projects that were underway had to be completed quickly because Yosan wanted it to maintain the construction of his new company. Several additional bodyguards were hired to keep the project completion process from getting in the way.The rumour also invited everyone in Meldham City to prepare their companies. They wanted to get a chance to cooperate with one of Kenderick's subsidiaries to rise higher. The partnership would bring them significant benefits. They would be more prosperous, and of course, there would be many lucrative business opportunities if they cooperated with Kendrick's company."Ah, damn. The expenditure data do not match the income data. This could affect the company's performance if I hand it over later. I w
William laughed out loud with his sharp eyes staring at Dustin even though both of his hands were restrained by the two bodyguards as if there was no fear. "Don't dream so much, damn it! Having just been appointed Cloa's leader, you're already arrogant and acting up. You have nothing on me. Even the company you lead is smaller than mine!"William threw his arms out again, trying to break free. But the two bodyguards tightened their grip. One of them even took the chair away from William. The bodyguard kept the chair and kept other objects away from William that could possibly harm Dustin.William's breathing was ragged with anger. He did not accept what the two bodyguards did. "You can't do this to me, you bastard!"Dustin grinned. His eyes were wide, but he could see the glint in William's sharp eyes as if he wanted to kill him. He just quietly leaned against the table while watching William, who was struggling to break free from the grip of two bodyguards.William snorted in annoyan
William got several incoming messages on his cell phone. He opened it immediately, and it turned out to be a message from his secretary. William immediately opened the message, constantly reading it. His eyes widened perfectly when he found out the content of the message. He looked pleased because the Kendrick family invited him to the hotel to attend an event.William raised his hands happily while shouting. "I finally managed to get that cooperation. This will be a good thing. With this, my company will rise again and beat the other companies!"William grinned as his competitors for this partnership were many big companies. He did not expect to get this opportunity. He got up and cast his eyes around. "I have to get ready."William immediately went to the shopping center. He bought some fancy clothes and a small gift: a blue gem brooch. William sold some of his watches to get the blue jeweled brooch first. The Kendrick family gathering will be held tonight at seven o'clock. William
Everyone, there was shocked, especially Karina, because she didn't feel like she had applied for a job or registered for the competition to get cooperation with Kenderick's company. William and Karina's other cousins shook their heads in disbelief at Albert's decision.They looked at Karina sharply. "Why her? She's not fit to get this cooperation. She's not even working, how could she get the project?"Steve snorted in annoyance. "Isn't this the wrong decision? The project won't work if one of the parties doesn't own the company. You seem to be mistaken." He didn't accept that Karina had just arrived and was immediately singled out."Yes, that's right. Perhaps you are wrong, sir." Karina's other cousin chimed in and doubted Albert's decision.Albert raised both hands up in a gesture ordering them to be quiet. "My decision is absolute and inviolable. Besides, I didn't just choose. Miss Karina's abilities are better than all of you.""What? How can that be?" They were all surprised to h
Dustin and Karina were shocked. Their car had stopped with a puff of smoke in front of the hood. Karina coughed, waving her hand in front of her face. Their foreheads were slightly injured from the violent impact. Dustin looked back through the glass above his head. The car that hit from behind had also experienced the same thing. There was even more black smoke than the hood of the vehicle.Dustin got out of the car, followed by Karina. Both of their legs felt weak. At the same time, the car door that hit them opened. There was a child from another prominent family, the Peterson family. The man who appeared was Enzo Peterson.Enzo coughed while waving his hands in the air. He staggered to his feet. "Hey, can't you drive well? Why are you going so slow? You're blocking my way to crash like this!"Karina approached with a furrowed brow, trying to recognize the figure in front of her due to the large amount of smoke around them. "Are you okay?"Seeing that it was Karina, Enzo, who had b
All the people who came separated them. "Stop fighting already! You'll cause a traffic jam if you continue!"Enzo did not accept this. His anger was still high. He threw away some of the people's hands that were holding him. "Let go! He's a lousy guy who drives slowly. People like him endanger others. That's why he should compensate. Look at how my car got damaged because of him. Oh, or do you not want to pay for it because you don't have any money?"Enzo, who kept looking for a defense for the citizens, annoyed Dustin. Dustin looked at Enzo sarcastically while chuckling. "Such an ugly car, of course, I can replace it easily."Enzo snorted in annoyance while rolling his eyes. "How pretentious. I can't believe it. You definitely don't have the money to compensate, right? Someone like you wouldn't be able to replace my luxurious car. Even your two months' salary at Cloa won't cover the loss. You're such a lousy person! Poor and useless! You'll be like that forever!"Dustin reached into
