"No respect for the poor." Jacob arrived escorted by several bodyguards. "That's an appropriate saying for you, Mr. Alvarez." The reporters immediately swarmed around Jacob and asked him many questions. Even though Jatson Corp had only partnered with Rorizon Corp, it had become the 3rd largest company in the USA and 10th in the world. Because of this, many women admired Jacob, and many companies flocked to offer cooperation because Jatson Corp managed to become Horizon Corp's partner. "Move aside! Mr. Jacob is coming through!" One bodyguard called out sternly to the reporters who were jostling near Jacob. In a relaxed and dignified manner, Jacob approached Stephen and Moses. "My condolences on Mr. Marco's death." "Thanks." Stephen gave a fake smile. Jacob turned to the reporters who were focused on him. "As a former partner of Maxco Corp, Mr. Marco was a good and smart man. I learned a lot from him. I miss my teacher and coworker very much." Steve was squeezed by the crowd of
The next day, Stephen met with Moses at the Kingsley Corp office. "I would like to submit the proposal you asked of me, Mr. Moses." Excitedly, Moses received the letter and read it. He marvelled at the ideas Stephen had poured into the writing. "You're very impressive, Mr. Stephen. I'm sure our partnership will be very profitable," Moses praised. "I'm so glad you like my idea, Mr. Moses. Does that mean you are willing to work with my father's company?" Stephen asked politely. "Of course." Moses quickly called his assistant, and she handed him a letter of agreement. "Please sign this letter to ratify our cooperation, Mr. Stephen." "All right." Stephen immediately signed the letter, then Moses. Moses smiled with satisfaction as he saw their hands written on the seal and shook Stephen's hand. "Maxco Corp is now officially a partnership of Kingsley Corp. Please work hard." "I promise I won't let you down, Mr. Moses." "I trust you very much." 'I never thought Cassandra's pr
"So?" Jacob frowned in surprise. "I want to cancel our contract." Jacob was gaped. "Why? Didn't my company you a tremendous advantage?" "Because Egdar, your father, has been arrested by the police. Now, there is no longer any reason for me to work with you." Jacob was shocked. He did not expected Edgar to be caught. "You misunderstand, Mr. Louis!" Jacob stuttered. "I never told my father to threaten you at all." His body trembled with fear. He was disappointed and frustrated because his dreams were instantly shattered. "I don't care," said Louis. "The owner of Rorizon Corp already hates how you got the contract with me. And you also insulted him a lot in public." "The owner of Rorizon?" Jacob needed clarification. "Isn't the owner of Rorizon Corp you, Mr. Louis?" "Not anymore," Louis answered. "I work as the Vice-CEO of that company." Jacob was shocked. Who was the man who bought the biggest company in the world? He didn't expect a man richer than Louis, even though Louis
After the meeting, Steve returned to the apartment to hand over the food to Charles. "Grandpa, let's eat." Steve placed the paper bag containing the sandwiches on the dining table."Wait a minute. I'm fixing the toilet. The toilet is broken!" Charles exclaimed from inside the toilet.Steve was sad to hear that. He felt selfish for letting his grandfather live in such a dirty, shabby apartment to hide his wealth.The dirty environment made Charles cough and runny nose frequently.'I have to buy a luxury apartment for Grandpa.'Not long after, Charles came out smiling."I'm glad you're home. I was so lonely here.""I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'm rarely home because I'm busy at work.""If Cassandra was here, I wouldn't be lonely. I find it hard to part from her because I was the one who took care of her when she was little."Steve felt even more guilty. He realized Cassandra's words were true and that he was the main cause of the destruction of Grandpa's life."I'm sorry, Grandpa. I've made yo
Steve smiled as he looked up at the beautiful city of Los Angeles. The buildings looked especially beautiful at night as they glowed with colorful lights."Grandpa would have loved it.""Alvarez!"Steve spontaneously turned around when someone shouted at him. He was surprised when Mitha arrived with the two security guards."What's wrong?" asked Steve coldly."Kick him out!" "Okay, boss."The two security guards immediately grabbed Steve and held him in both hands."What the hell?! Let me go!" Steve struggled, then glared at Mitha. "What are you doing?!""I won't let you steal anything from this place!""Steal?!" Steve didn't expect the woman to accuse him of being a criminal. "I'm not stealing! I'm going to buy this apartment!""Stop talking nonsense! Get him out of here!""All right, Miss!"When the two men dragged Steve outside, Steve fought back. He stomped on the feet of the two security guards with such force that they groaned in pain. When they were caught off guard, Steve im
"Who called you, Boy?" Charles was curious because Steve looked surprised."My friend." Steve lied. "Wait a minute. I have to pick up the phone for a minute." "Okay." The young man went outside and then answered his phone."Why are you calling me?" Steve was too lazy to make small talk."Where are you now? I wanted to see you.""Don't I want to see my face again?" Steve mocked."I'm too lazy to fight with you. Meet me now.""I can't because I have to look after Grandpa." Steve lied. He was still upset that Cassandra insulted him a few days ago."Tomorrow you should come to the café in Grandpa's apartment. I want to talk to you about something important.""Yes." Steve simply turned off the phone, even though he was exceptionally interested.***The next day, Steve waited for Cassandra at her regular café. Unfortunately, she didn't arrive on time, so he had to wait. A television was in front of Steve. Various news were being broadcast.He watched to relieve his boredom.[Hot News Tod
"Why do you want to attend the wedding, Mr. Alvarez? Do you have plans?" Steve shook his head. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. 'Billie? Why is she calling me? Did something happen to the orphanage kids?' Steve answered the phone immediately. "What are you calling me about?" "Yesterday, you said you'd take me. Are you serious?" 'Oh, shit! I forgot about it,' Steve cursed to himself. "I'll pick you up." "Where are you taking me?" "Just do as I say." "Tsk! All right." "Who called you, Mr. Alvarez?" Louis asked politely. "Billie, my friend." Steve put his cell phone in his pants pocket. "Are you going out with that woman?" Louis teased. "Of course not! I don't like tomboys like her!" Steve was disgusted at the thought of him dating Billie. She was just like a man in nature. Louis chuckled. "I wanted to attend your wedding too, Mr. Alvarez." "That's not happening." "Why?" "I will never get married." Louis was shocked to hear that. "Why?" "That woman is so annoying." "Yo
Arriving at the apartment, Steve invited Billie into his apartment so that there were two of them. "Explain it to me now, Alvarez." Billie urged, unable to contain her curiosity any longer. "I feel so hot. Let me take a quick shower. Okay?" "Tsk!" Billie felt Steve was toying with her. "Whatever you!" "Thanks." Steve took off his shirt, revealing his muscular, athletic body. Billie's heart raced at being shirtless. "It's rude to undress in front of a woman." Billie quipped. "I never thought of you as a woman." Steve laughed softly. Billie pouted. "Wait a minute. I'll be back." Steve went to the bathroom, leaving Billie alone. Bored, she wandered around Steve's room to see the displayed photos. The apartment was studio-type and only had a bed, a television, and an office desk. Charles lived next door to Steve's room. He didn't want to live with his grandfather because he would be on the phone with Jonah and Louis to keep his secret as Mr. AL. Shortly afterward, Steve
