"Hello, Andrew..."A weak voice was heard from the other end of the phone. As Roger hadn't answered his calls, Andrew decided to dial the number left by Nadine."What are you doing? Why are you bothering me? How did you get information about me, Nadine?!"Instead of answering Andrew's questions, Nadine's crying only grew louder. It was so loud that Andrew had to move the phone away from his ear."I don't need your tears. Do you think I'll feel sorry for you? You're mistaken, Nadine. You're not talking to the old Andrew, the one you could manipulate and lie to.""No, Andrew, no! I regret my actions; I'll tell the truth. After Orlando's disappearance, I lost my way. The only thing left was the email address he used on my phone. There was a message offering to inform Orlando about your whereabouts. So, I replied and got the number where you are.""Give me the email you're talking about now!""th008@brz.com, that's the email that sent me the information.""Okay. Listen to me, Nadine. I do
The loud thud from a door being kicked by a man in one of the hotel rooms startled the other two people inside.It was Orlando, the deranged man venting his anger on a door in the five-star hotel."You're truly foolish, Nadine! Everything was going smoothly, and now you let him contact you through the hotel phone? What's the point?! I've told you, minimize the chances of him reaching you through something that's not privately owned! Your brain is too small to think!"Once again, Orlando slammed the side of the door in anger. One of the bodyguards who was guarding him tried to stop Orlando, but the young man blocked him with his hand, gesturing for him to stay away.Nadine's voice sounded panicked and fearful on the other end of the phone. Orlando's anger was truly terrifying to her."Honey, I didn't know. It would be best if you had told me in detail. Besides, you already obtained his location. You can keep an eye on him, right? Aren't the members inherited from your late father scatt
Andrew's cynical gaze was evident as he arrived at the hall of the late Smith's mining company. Andrew's ordinary stature and slim body caused people to look down on him.Indeed, a weak figure was the most suitable label until people discovered Andrew's hidden power."Hmph, those girls, they think they can mock me? My money can easily silence them; I guarantee it. I could ask them to jump from the highest floor, and they would do it if it's about money!" Andrew grumbled inwardly.The dismissive attitude of the women towards Andrew became even more apparent as he approached the receptionist. Two out of three women standing nearby seemed to chuckle, mocking Andrew's arrival."Good morning; I'd like to meet Mr. Rudolf. I'm a representative of Mr. William.""What did I say? He needs to be the one leading this company! He's just a messenger!""You're right; I wouldn't tolerate having a weak and unappealing leader like him! Besides, his face doesn't support our cause at all!"Andrew smiled
The gaze of all the company's occupants, who had previously appeared scornful and mocking towards Andrew, completely changed after the incident involving Rudolf. The news quickly spread to the ears of all the employees. Even the two women who had received a reprimand from Andrew earlier warned other women not to disrespect Andrew."Alright, everything is clear now. This is sufficient to report to Mr William; great. I have to leave, it's already late, and I'm tired. By the way, I might come again next month, Mr. Rudolf."Andrew put the files in front of him into his bag. The five o'clock clock made him realize he had been in the office for a long time. Initially, he was scheduled to come for only three hours, but everything was delayed because Andrew meticulously examined every aspect of the company.Even though he had transformed into a person with great power, he never forgot his passion for work. Taking on a job like this made him very happy, especially since it was Smith's company.
Laughter turned out to be not the only activity happening between Andrew and Jelena. Their strong mutual attraction led to a passionate and wild affair.In just three hours of conversation, Andrew convinced Jelena to surrender her body to this newfound man. A radiant smile adorned both their faces as Andrew gazed warmly at Jelena. Since his breakup with Nadine, he hadn't found another love interest. Moreover, he had been too occupied with matters of power and other affairs."I've never met a girl as attractive as you, Jelena.""I want to be honest with you, Andrew. Maybe I sound naive, but I've never engaged in a one-night stand before. You're so charismatic that I feel comfortable opening up about all my issues with my stupid ex-boyfriend. And the encounter we just had was incredible. You provided a new and unforgettable experience."Jelena gently caressed Andrew's face, not forgetting to plant a kiss on his lips.Andrew felt quite gratified and satisfied to receive praise from a bea
Andrew entered the bodyguard's room two hours after they had returned to their respective rooms. Nadine immediately approached Andrew and knelt before him."I beg you, forgive me, Andrew. I--""What information can you provide about Orlando to me, and are you prepared to be shot if you lie?"Instantly, Nadine's crying stopped. She swallowed her saliva and stared at Andrew in shock."Why would you be so heartless as to threaten me like that, Andrew? Have you forgotten that I came here because I was also threatened with murder by Orlando?""I don't care. It's the consequence of your involvement in a big problem and becoming a venomous snake. If you agree to what I'm offering, I can ensure your safety. At least you'll end up in jail without dying."Nadine's eyes widened further, her courage shrinking upon hearing the offer. All her plans with Orlando seemed to dissipate from her mind. She was trapped between life and death.Meanwhile, Andrew began using his power to search for the truth
"Hello, Honey, I've arrived at the hotel, and I've met Andrew," Nadine called while facing the door, remaining alert in case Andrew suddenly appeared. Her heart was racing; she was truly worried and afraid that her plan would be exposed."Good. What did you discuss? You have to stay with him and not do anything foolish that might make him kick you out!" Orlando snapped at Nadine."I told him the story just as you instructed. But instead, he threatened me in return. He said if I lied, I should be prepared to die...""So, what's your next move? Are you scared? Are you going to spill everything? If that happens, I'll be the first person to kill you, Nadine!"Nadine flinched, her breath becoming rapid. Once again, she had to endure threats, and her mind was filled with fear."I told him you're in Western Europe and promised to accompany Andrew until he captures you. I guarantee that I will be in jail when you're arrested. Isn't this enough to convince you that I'm truly fighting for our r
It had been almost an hour since Andrew stared at Nadine's cracked phone. He tried to analyze and scan the phone's memory with his abilities, but it was all in vain."Ugh! Did I lose my powers? But it doesn't feel like it. Damn, why can't I use them in such a crucial moment!"Andrew took the phone from Nadine's room and entered the bodyguard's room."Keep this! When we return, this phone can be fixed at Mr. William's place. You can rest; I'll go back to my room. Have you eaten? If not, eat. It's been six hours since Nadine's death. You've done well."The bodyguard bowed his body. "It's my duty, Mr. Andrew. Besides, I am the one who caused all of this to happen. I feel deeply regretful and guilty. Perhaps she wouldn't have died tragically if I hadn't mentioned your whereabouts.""It's good that you finally realize your foolish actions. I may have hated Nadine, but seeing her die so tragically earlier made me feel sorry for her. Anyway, you don't need to dwell on it too much. It's all i
