"I want you to be the lead female role in our latest movie." Jonathan, CEO of Jon's Entertainment. Sarah gawked. "Are you serious, Mister?" "Of course." The man smiled a little. "Thanks very much, Mr. Jonothan! I promise not to disappoint you!!" Sarah smiled widely. 'Oh, my God! I'm fortunate today! Steve must be happy to hear that!' Jonathan handed Sarah the contract. "Please, you sign this letter." "Okay." Sarah signed it immediately. "Tomorrow, you start work. Ester, the director of this movie, will guide you," explained Jonathan. "All right, Mr. Jonothan." "You can go home and practice your acting." Sarah nodded and then left the room with a happy smile. Arriving at the lobby, she ran straight to Steve. "Steve! You won't believe what I'm saying!" Sarah exclaimed excitedly, making everyone in the lobby turn to her. "What is it?" Steve feigned innocence. "I got the job as the female lead!" Sarah jumped up and down with happiness. "Really?!"

"Don't listen to him, Ms. Renata. Alvarez is just bragging." Rocky warned the 35-year-old woman. Renata chuckled sarcastically. "I pity you, Mr. Alvarez. You're going crazy from all the stress since you declared bankruptcy." "I'm not crazy, Ms. Renata." Steve kept smiling despite his irritation. He couldn't yell or scold a woman. "I want to buy every car in this showroom," he added. "Stop bragging, Alvarez. There are 100 luxury cars, and one costs tens of billions. You can't possibly afford them." Renata folded her arms across her chest haughtily to intimidate Steve. She even stopped calling Steve Mr. Alvarez. "Hurry up and get out of here before I get security to kick you out." "Before I leave, let me prove my words, Ms. Renata. If I'm lying, I swear I'll be your helper forever, and you won't have to pay me." Steve didn't want to waste any time. Renata was silent for a moment, considering. She was very interested in the gamble. "But if I can prove it, you must become my serva
Ding! Simon and his two employees stiffened when his cell phone rang. "I've transferred it. You can check it." "Alright. Just a moment." Simon immediately checked the notification on his cell phone. "Oh, shit!" He was wide-eyed when he got the proof of the $25,000,000 money transfer from Alvarez. "Do you believe me now?" Steve grinned smugly. He was satisfied to see the surprised expressions of the three parasites. "B-how did you get that much money, Mr. Alvarez?" Simon was shocked. "Aren't you broke?" Steve chuckled. "You're so stupid, Simon. Many businessmen and conglomerates deliberately hide their true identities. It's a natural thing." "Why do you do that?" "Because I like it when I see my detractors tremble with fear after I've proved my point," Steve quipped to the fat man. The man trembled at the thought of being fired. "M-I'm sorry, Mr. Alvarez. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings at all. I was just joking." The man chuckled clumsily. "Just kidding, you say?" St
A week later, rumors about Maxco Corp's bankruptcy circulated on social media and television. It became trending news.Steve enjoyed a cup of coffee while watching the news on television. Marco walked out of his office and was greeted with hundreds of questions from reporters. "Is it true that Maxco Corp is going bankrupt, Mr. Marco?""Of course, not. All the news is untrue. I hope the public won't be easily deceived by irresponsible actors." Marco smiled politely as hundreds of reporters jostled nearby to get an interview with him.However, Marco's bodyguards quickly protected the man like a fortress so that Marco would not be crushed and could get to his car unhindered."Is it true that Maxco Corp has experienced a decline in income since Jonah Corp was founded?""Was business competition a major factor in Maxco Corp going bankrupt?"'I glad I could witness your downfall, Marco.' Steve smiled with satisfaction. Finally, his hard work had been worthwhile.Steve glanced at the watch
Steve quickly entered the kitchen bathroom and called Louis after arguing with Cassandra in the garden.'I have no choice. I'm going to force you to do it!'"I have an order for you," Steve whispered so others wouldn't eavesdrop on their conversation."What is it, Mr. Alvarez? I'll do it," Louis replied enthusiastically."I want you to call Cassandra and offer her your cooperation." "What's wrong with you, Mr. Alvarez? You sound very upset.""I can't tell you what's happening because I'm at Marco's house," Steve explained. "Just do as I say.""All right, Mr. Alvarez.""I'll send Cassandra's phone number via message, but you must not tell her that I told you to.""I will keep your identity as the new owner of Horizon Corp a secret, Mr Alvarez. You don't worry about it.""I trust you."***"WHAT?!" Cassandra cried out in shock when she received a call from Louis.'Am I dreaming?' Cassandra pinched her thigh, and it hurt.'I wasn't dreaming! But why is it such a coincidence?!'"W-what
The next day.Steve awoke to sunlight, disturbing his deep sleep. He quickly sat up and was surprised to find himself in an unfamiliar room."Where am I?"He was shocked to find himself wearing only shorts and a woman asleep beside him."Billie!"The woman woke up to Steve's shout."Alvarez? You're awake." "Why are you sleeping with me?!""You don't remember it?" Billie looked disappointed. The woman tried to cover her body with the blanket. "You forced me, Alvarez.""Forced you to do what?" Steve couldn't accept the harsh reality."You raped me."Steve gaped in disbelief, then shook his head. "That's impossible! I couldn't have defiled you! You're my friend!"Billie pointed out the bloodstains on the bed sheet. "Can't that bloodstain make you trust me?""Argh!" Steve immediately went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet.The man grabbed his hair vigorously in frustration... "What have you done, you idiot?! Why did you desecrate your best friend?!"Steve was disappointed when he sa
"I'm in a hurry. Can you make the car go any faster?!" "Very well, Mr. Cassandra." The taxi driver nodded obediently, then sped up the car.Suddenly, Cassandra's cell phone rang in her purse. She quickly picks up the call as Louis' name appears on the screen."I'm sorry, Mr. Louis. I'm going to be late because I'm stuck in traffic." Cassandra lied. "It's okay, Ms. Cassandra. I would like to change our meeting location," Louis explained."No problem, Mr. Louis. Please send me the address. I will be right there," Cassandra said politely."W-well-"BRUGH!"Argh!" Cassandra screamed hysterically as a car rammed into her taxi, causing her to hit the car door hard.The car stopped in front of Cassandra's taxi to block it."Wh-what happened?" Cassandra panicked as four masked men exited the car and approached her taxi. They were carrying pistols."Open the door!" The man snapped."No!" Cassandra shouted in fear. "Let's get out of here!!!" "Alright." The taxi driver immediately backed up t
Steve, Cassandra and Louis were wide-eyed as someone barged in and pointed a gun at them. "Who are you?" Louis asked, frightened. "How did you get in here?!" Louis had never experienced such a stressful event in his life. The situation was confusing and surprising, as Louis had ordered many bodyguards to guard the restaurant closely. He even hired bodyguards, usually hired by famous USA artists and businessmen with extraordinary fighting skills. "Are you ...." Louis widened his eyes in shock as the man's clothes were covered in bloodstains. "killed all my bodyguards?!" "You're right, Mr. Louis." The masked man chuckled bitterly as if it was a joke. 'Oh, shit!' Cassandra took cover behind Steve while shaking with fear. She had just escaped from the kidnappers on the street, but now she had to deal with another criminal again. "What do you want?" Steve looked at the man coldly. He had to keep his cool so the villain wouldn't get excited. 'Is he Marco's man?' Steve wondered sil
