Attending the exhibition hosted by Rudwick's company, Asher felt delighted to meet many acquaintances and clients. Amid the event's bustle, he noticed Mr. Adley was also present, adding a more formal touch to the day. Asher smiled broadly, shaking hands with clients and business partners, feeling proud of the relationships he had built over the years.

While enjoying the displayed paintings, Asher listened to the artists' explanations about their works. The paintings were very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, bringing peace amidst the busyness.

Suddenly, Asher's eyes were drawn to Alicia, who was also present at the exhibition. She was intently looking at an abstract painting, then moved to another painting depicting a woman with a black umbrella, with a shadow of someone in black behind her.

Asher felt curious about why Alicia was so interested and stood still in front of that painting. He approached Alicia, standing beside her while looking at the painting. "What's interesting abou

Heinry, who had unknowingly become a close friend to Asher, waited patiently until Asher finished his reverie."This event will last until night, Asher. I'm very grateful to you for taking the time out of your busy schedule," Heinry said.Asher turned towards Heinry. "No problem. Thanks to this exhibition, I can understand my feelings a bit. Is the next event the auction?"Heinry nodded. "Yes, the auction of their paintings. Most of my employees have incredible artistic talent. That's why I want to help them earn extra money besides their salary through this auction.""Finally, you're thinking ahead. Come on, I want to see the auction," said Asher as he left the rooftop, heading down the stairs to the main hall where the exhibition was held earlier.Heinry followed behind him. The atmosphere in the hall was lively, different from the quietness of the afternoon. The grand crystal chandeliers illuminated the room, creating a warm

    Asher had changed clothes, now wearing a plain T-shirt and shorts. He sat on the sofa in his room, with his laptop on his lap, finishing various tasks that had been delayed. His fingers moved swiftly over the keyboard, typing and sending several important emails.One of them was an email to Kailos, asking him to invest in Gerorich, a small but growing company in the fisheries sector.After sending the email, Asher leaned back on the sofa and took a deep breath. His gaze suddenly shifted to the right side of the room, where the newly bought painting was hung on the wall. The painting depicted clasped hands with small pink spots, resembling rain.He clearly remembered Alicia's words when they discussed the painting. “It means that no matter how afraid you are to start a new relationship with someone new if it is destined by God, you won’t be able to resist.”Asher looked at the painting with mixed feelings. There was still fear lingering in his heart, a fear of starting a new relationsh

    "Make sure you monitor the funds coming out of Ezoc Company, Kailos," Asher said firmly.His index finger tapped the conference table three times. Asher's mind was racing, thinking about many things, especially the funds being spent by Ezoc Company. If the company were not related to Dixon Enterprises, Asher might have been indifferent. However, since Ezoc Company was a subsidiary of Dixon, Asher felt the need to intervene in monitoring the suspicious funds.Kailos nodded, bowing respectfully to acknowledge his boss's command. "Yes, Sir. I will monitor that company closely."Asher nodded, feeling slightly relieved. "What's my schedule for today, Kailos?"Kailos checked his iPad, searching for Asher's schedule for the day. Then he looked at Asher calmly. "You have an appointment with Mr. Kim, Sir. A meeting about mackerel fish production at the food company."Asher nodded in understanding. He had promised to invest in small companies besides leading Dixon Enterprises or Dixon Corporati

    "You must be very busy, Asher. I'm sorry for my parents wanting to have dinner with your family," Alicia said in an understanding tone.Asher turned to look at Alicia. They were now alone in the reading room of the restaurant, a place also used as a reading room for young people nowadays."Why should you apologize? I'm glad your father invited us to dinner together. Besides, I'm not that busy," replied Asher with a cheerful smile.Alicia turned slightly, adjusting her position to look at Asher. She admired how handsome Asher's face was, especially his lips. It felt like just yesterday she got to know Asher, but now Alicia felt close to him. However, there was a feeling of doubt and pride in her mind about admitting her own feelings.Alicia took a deep breath and looked forward again at the neatly arranged books on the shelf. "I'm apologizing because I'm afraid of bothering you. And I'm afraid you might think this dinner was my idea."Asher, who was looking at a thick book about mental

"Come in," Asher called out, his voice firm yet friendly.Luciana smiled happily as she opened Asher's office door. She walked closer, and Asher immediately stood up from his seat to greet his mother."Mom, you stopped by? Why didn't you let me know?" Asher gave Luciana a brief hug, then invited her to sit on the comfortable sofa in the corner of the room."I miss my son, who's so busy working that he forgets to eat properly," Luciana said with a meaningful look at Asher.Asher gave a small smile, feeling a bit guilty for often skippin

    In another place, a man with ash blonde comma hair looked upset. The room he occupied was very messy, full of scattered documents and overturned items. Anger filled his mind upon learning that the partnership he was supposed to secure with Mr. Kim had been won by Asher instead."Damn it! Damn it! He really bothers me!" shouted Darren, throwing a thick folder aimlessly. His hand ran through the hair falling on his forehead, showing how frustrated he was. His shirt was disheveled, his tie loose, and his formal jacket draped over the oversized chair."This can't be allowed. I won't let him take everything I have," he muttered, almost losing his mind. "I won't fall like Olivia. No! I won't let him."Darren kept muttering to himself, cursing in his anger. "I will get you back, Asher!"After the successful meeting with Mr. Kim, Asher felt satisfied with the results achieved.

Alicia was amazed by the lowest part of the hotel."Did you design everything here?" Alicia asked, her eyes focused on her surroundings with admiration.Asher's steps halted when they arrived at his private room. The room had transparent glass and numerous hologram systems that displayed the hotel's surroundings like CCTV. As soon as Asher entered the room, the system greeted him.Alicia was astonished. This was the first time she had seen such an advanced room. "I wanted this room to ensure better security for the hotel, and from here, we can also identify anyone who tries to sabotage," Asher explained with a small smile on his face.Asher invited Alicia to sit on a black sofa in the corner of the room. He looked at Alicia with deep curiosity. "Tell me, what's the matter? Why did you bring up BOWWS Company? And... and what?"Ali

That morning, despite all the preparations and plans, many things were swirling in Asher's mind.During the journey to the office, Asher found himself daydreaming. His gaze was fixed out the window, watching the busy morning street scenes. Street-side shops were opening their doors, vendors were setting up their goods, and people were walking for their purposes. All of this made Asher reflect on his life's journey, the challenges he had faced, and the future he wanted to achieve.Asher recalled the meeting with Alicia and how the information he had obtained from her had opened his eyes to many hidden matters.

    Asher sat in the company’s boardroom, positioned at the head of a long table adorned with piles of documents and an open laptop. His sharp eyes tracked the presentation displayed on the projector screen, where Kailos explained the potential of the LuseCraft and Rudwick partnership. Kailos’s calm voice filled the room as he outlined the opportunities this collaboration could bring.Yet, Asher’s thoughts drifted elsewhere. He wasn’t just listening to his employees’ spoken words—he was hearing the unspoken ones, the thoughts streaming loudly from the minds of those seated around the table. Ever since discovering the magical ring, Asher’s newfound ability had proven useful, though it sometimes felt more like a curse. Today was one of those aggravating days."Rudwick? Such a small company? There’s nothing to expect from a place like that. Honestly, this is idiotic.""Why does Asher keep wasting the company’s resources on this? William would never have taken a risk like this.""He’s way too

    Asher slowly removed his tie and tossed it onto the small table beside the sofa. The formal jacket he had worn earlier had already been draped over the backrest of the sofa, and now his body sank into the soft support. He massaged the stiffness in his neck, exhaling deeply, as though trying to relieve burdens that were not just physical. The room was silent, with only the faint ticking of a wall clock breaking the stillness.Asher’s thoughts wandered, but they did not settle on the numbers in his reports or the plans for developing new construction projects under Dixon’s subsidiary. Instead of focusing on those documents, his mind drifted to Alicia. Her name resurfaced in his thoughts, as if it occupied a special space that constantly demanded his attention. Asher couldn’t push it away.A small smile curved on his lips as the memory of their kiss resurfaced. His lips moved unconsciously, as though tasting again the warmth and softness that had touched them that day. "Crazy," Asher mur

    In the dim corner of a bar, Waldric gulped down his drink quickly, trying to drown the bitterness of his life with every sip. His mind was full, chaotic—Asher had discarded him just like that, like a pedestrian stepping on filth in the street without a care. Waldric's gaze was filled with hatred and smoldering anger, but underneath, there was also a gnawing sense of frustration.A cold voice interrupted his thoughts. "There's no point in staying here, sulking, Waldric."Waldric looked up, narrowing his eyes at the figure standing before him—Kaylery Barnnet. A thin, meaningful smile played on Kaylery's face, his gaze like a snake ready to strike."What do you want?" Waldric's tone was defensive, his voice tinged with curiosity.Kaylery chuckled softly, unbothered, and slowly took the seat beside him uninvited. "My intention is simple. You want revenge, don’t you? Seems like we share a common enemy, Waldric."Waldric straightened up, feeling skeptical. "So, you just want to offer help?

    Alicia buried her face in the pillow, her body squirming with embarrassment on the bed. The memory of the moments with Asher earlier felt so vivid, replaying in her mind like a never-ending movie. "What did I say earlier?" she thought, frustrated with herself."At least I managed to hide my feelings. I don't want Asher to feel disgusted seeing me act like that," she muttered. Alicia let out a long sigh, then stared at the ceiling of her room."What's wrong with me?" she asked softly, her voice filled with confusion. She closed her eyes again for a moment, imagining Asher’s handsome and calm face every time they met."I want Asher."That whisper felt too real, always echoing in her mind so clearly. It wasn’t just about Asher’s physical attractiveness, but his charismatic aura and decisiveness that captivated Alicia. He was a man who could lead, who could take control, and that was something Alicia had always dreamed of.A small smile formed on her lips as Asher’s image appeared in her

    Asher stepped into the lobby of Dixon's headquarters with a firm stride, while Kailos waited in the corner, his face full of questions. There was a clear curiosity in Kailos's eyes about the outcome of Asher's visit to BOWWS Company.As Asher approached, Kailos couldn’t hold back from asking, "How did it go, sir?"Asher simply gave a brief smile, one whose meaning few could understand. "Smooth. BOWWS Company is now in my hands," he replied with a tone full of confidence.Kailos, who had already suspected this victory, smiled with satisfaction. "I’m glad to hear it," he said sincerely, walking alongside Asher as he began discussing other important matters. "Sir, there’s something else we need to talk about—regarding LuseCraft and your upcoming meeting with Aldric Pervaz."Hearing Aldric Pervaz's name, Asher's steps slowed. His eyebrows furrowed deeply. "Why does he want to meet with me?"Kailos paused briefly, clearing his throat lightly before answering. "He wishes to discuss a potent

    Asher's schedule had changed. After his visit to LuseCraft, he was supposed to attend a meeting about renewing a contract with Jonathan. However, due to Waldric's insistence on meeting to settle the inheritance dispute, Asher had no choice but to meet him and end it as soon as possible.Asher stood facing the large window, his posture straight and his expression neutral, though the atmosphere around him felt tense. Beside him was Waldric, staring at him with eyes full of anger, as if he wanted to devour Asher alive. Waldric was clearly displeased with the changes at BOWWS Company, especially the fact that the company was now under Asher’s control.“Does being the heir give you the right to act so arrogantly?” Waldric began, his voice cold and full of hatred. “Don’t you feel greedy, Asher?”Asher merely raised one eyebrow, remaining unaffected by Waldric’s outburst. His eyes continued to gaze out the window, overlooking the courtyard of BOWWS Company, watching the employees busy with t

    The soft rays of the sun slipped through the gap in the curtains of Asher's room, gradually warming the space. Asher opened his eyes, feeling refreshed after a long sleep—something he rarely got these days. He stretched his muscles, then slowly sat up, leaning his back against the headboard. His thoughts immediately drifted to the previous night—the moment when he unintentionally kissed Alicia.His lips curled into a small, almost hidden smile. For a moment, he covered his face with his hands, feeling slightly embarrassed. "What have I done?" he thought. But the more he tried to ignore it, the clearer that moment replayed in his mind.His memory took him back to when he could hear Alicia's thoughts and feelings spilling out, full of confusion and wonder. Those voices, which usually bothered him, now made him chuckle softly. He could hear how nervous and embarrassed Alicia had felt, yet at the same time, her heart had raced after their kiss.“She didn’t push me away, did she? In fact…,

    Asher felt the growing awkwardness as Heinry deliberately left the two of them alone at the dining table. The atmosphere in the restaurant, which was previously filled with business conversations, now felt quiet, with just him and Alicia. Even though they often met, it felt different when it was just the two of them. Asher tried to stay calm, though Alicia’s thoughts continued to whisper in his ear. He wished he could stop his ability for a moment, to focus on the conversation, not the mix of thoughts running through her mind. Alicia glanced at him occasionally, as if waiting for Asher to start talking. Feeling awkward because of the sudden silence, Alicia finally decided to shift the topic. "What about BOWWS Company, Asher? Have you fully taken control?" she asked, her voice soft, but there was a hint of curiosity she couldn't hide. Asher sighed and placed his nearly empty glass of water down. "It should be settled," he replied, looking at Alicia. "But Waldric is still trying t

    Asher sat in his newly established office, specifically created for LuseCraft, a home goods and property company under the Dixon umbrella. Since its founding, LuseCraft had just begun to take off after Halbert Company went bankrupt, especially since Asher initiated partnerships with several major players in the property industry. The primary focus of LuseCraft was to create high-quality products for home interiors, ranging from furniture and kitchenware to innovative home decor. However, the company also had ambitious plans to expand into real estate development, including luxury housing and modern apartments.With a calm and professional demeanor, Asher looked at the stack of contracts waiting for his signature. One of the most important was the partnership agreement with Rudwick Company, which had long been a leader in the property sector. This partnership was crucial for LuseCraft to gain broader market access. Asher wanted to ensure everything went smoothly, particularly regarding
