"I'm staying inside." Morel insisted calmly, getting out of his car as he realized the situation would not be resolved immediately.The officer who had guarded the entrance of the elite neighborhood for many years stared at Morel's face intently, trying hard to remember his face. "I don't recognize you as one of the people who live there." He was sure about that, his hand pointing towards the inside of the housing estate. "I recognize all the house residents in this place, and I've never seen you. "Even if you claim to be a guest, I'm sure it's not true because there's no confirmation from any of the residents that any of their guests are coming."He didn't want to risk his job, especially even though he was driving a luxury car, but Morel's appearance was very ordinary for someone who could live in that place. He doubted that what Morel said was the truth."Yes, I understand. It's only natural that you don't recognize me since I moved in yesterday afternoon." He explained to them.Th
"The company's situation is not good." Marrisa looked rather thoughtfully at the staff waiting for her.She had just come out of the meeting room. On the agenda for this meeting, there were reportedly some rather complicated issues, so she could not ignore them.Marrisa headed for her office, followed by several of her subordinate staff who used to take direct orders from her and divide the tasks among the others. She sat down at her desk, a pile of work waiting on the table for her to review.Marrisa raised her face to look at them seriously. "Regardless of the current state of the company, we must also prepare to welcome the new leader of the Spencer family. Be sure not to make mistakes and be disrespectful to her." She told them so sternly.They nodded immediately. "Yes, ma'am." After that, they left immediately.Marissa went back to what she was doing, but for a moment, she was silent. Her face suddenly reddened as she remembered her encounter with Morel. Even though it was only f
"Blackmailing you?" Bob, the manager of the place, frowned at Morel in astonishment. "What do you have, huh? You think you have something to blackmail?" they approached him and spoke in a challenging tone.Morel replied to the way they stared flatly. He knew they were not people to talk to, but he just wanted to finish what he had started. He didn't want to be considered irresponsible or suddenly disappear.But those arrogant people did not appreciate his goodwill to end their working relationship on good terms. "You should be grateful that I didn't report you to the police for theft," Bob exclaimed harshly at Morel.Morel tried to act calmly, even though their words made little sense. "I didn't steal anything." He asserted that calmly, he couldn't steal such a trivial item. It was hardly even valuable for him.Bob looked at him sarcastically. "Carrying things without permission means you're stealing. Are you so stupid that you don't know that?" he shouted in front of Morel, his gaze
Alan and Rick stood in the corner of the room, silently observing the increasingly tense situation. Their minds were whirling, trying to unravel the tangled threads of what their manager, Bob, might have done wrong. It never occurred to them that Morel, the seemingly calm man, was the one who had called Mr. Francis. To them, Mr. Francis' presence here was a mere coincidence.In the center of the room, Bob looked distraught. His face was pale, and sweat was pouring down his forehead, dripping down his neck. His hands trembled as he tried to display a calm demeanor that was far from how he felt at the moment. He swallowed, searching for the right words to explain the situation to Mr. Francis, who stood with an impatient expression."I'm here to settle things with this man, sir," Bob said in a trembling voice, pointing directly at Morel's face. "This man is a thief, sir. Take it easy. I will solve this problem. "Sir, there is no need to be afraid because there won't be any more trouble."
"How dare you falsely accuse me!"After that, Bob turned his face towards Mr. Francis. Instantly, the angry hue on his face turned into a hopeful expression. "That's not true, Mr. Francis. As you know, I have worked hard for this company, making this business flourish. Our customers often praise our performance. Don't believe in the words of that liar," Bob said with confidence, trying hard to strengthen his position.Meanwhile, Alan and Rick could only stand silently in the corner of the room, occasionally exchanging glances and nodding in agreement with what Bob said. As ordinary employees, they felt they had neither the courage nor the authority to speak directly to Mr. Francis. The shadow of tension and respect for the company owner made them reluctant to speak up. They have long trusted and depended on Bob, the manager. With hearts pounding, they hoped that Bob's words could convince Mr. Francis and save them all from the increasingly heated situation.Morel silently listened to Bo
A week had passed since the incident. Now, Morel sat at the dining table, enjoying the delicious breakfast served by his servant, Doris. The food served in front of him looked appetizing, showing the skill and care with which Doris had prepared it. While Doris was just standing behind Morel's seat.“Doris, why don't you sit next to me and eat with me?” Morel invited happily.Doris looked surprised at Morel's request. Quickly, she bowed her head as a sign of respect before replying, “Sorry, Master, I can't do that. My duty is to serve you.” Morel sighed, then placed the spoon and fork on her plate. “Doris, after everything that has happened, I feel that there are many things that must change. You've done a lot to help me. Doris bowed her head politely, refusing Morel's offer in a respectful yet firm tone. “I'm sorry, Master. I can't do it. It is my duty and honor to serve you, not to sit and dine with you. It would be inappropriate.” Morel realized that Doris was sticking to his ethi
All of them were surprised to hear what Morel said, so all eyes were on him. Because they all often passed through the Grand Houston area and admired the splendor of the houses there.With a look of astonishment, the golf course ranger couldn't hide his growing curiosity. "Do you live in the house at the far end of the building, sir?"In front of the doorman, Morel nodded his head and, with a flawless face, replied, "Yes, this is my house. I live there." The look in Morel's eyes indicated the belief that the house really belonged to him.However, when the man who bumped into Morel earlier was somewhat annoyed to hear it, his voice sounded firm and loud, "Hey, don't lie. I know you don't live there because I've never seen you there or around the neighborhood,". The man's eyes displayed doubt.The expression on Morel's face was full of undeniable truth and firmness. "I'm not lying, I do live there,"The man arrogantly took every inch of Morel's body, from top to bottom. He spoke in a vo
The golf course doorman and Treyal looked very surprised to hear the apology from the golf course owner to Morel. Moreover, the doorman or employee of the golf course owner had never seen his boss bow and apologize so sincerely. "What are you doing, sir? Why would you apologize to someone like him?" he asked in a confused and doubtful tone.Treyal, who had underestimated Morel from the beginning, thought that the golf course owner was only apologizing as a formality and would send Morel away immediately after that. His conviction was evident from the look of satisfaction in his eyes as if he believed the situation was still in his favor. "Ah, I see now," Treyal said with a sarcastic laugh. "So, you're just apologizing first before sending him away, right?" Because to Treyal, the golf course owner's father was so respectable and had a very good attitude, he thought the golf course owner would kick Morel out after apologizing. "I knew you wouldn't let someone like him stay here," he con
