"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

    "Stop insulting Alvarez!" Billie looked at Sarah, and the man was furious. Sarah frowned in surprise. "Who are you?" she was surprised that someone was defending Steve. If that woman was in that famous salon, she was a high-class woman. ''Sarah doesn't recognize Billie?" Steve was shocked. Even though Billie's hair was fixed and her face was masked, he still recognized her voice. "I..." Billie was nervous. "She's my girlfriend." Steve hugged Billie's waist proudly. Sarah was wide-eyed. "Girlfriend?" "Yes. We're getting married soon." Steve lied. He wanted revenge on Sarah. The handsome man smiled at Billie. "You should think twice about marrying a poor, stupid man like Alvarez, Miss. I'm afraid you'll regret marrying him." "I will not regret it," Billie said firmly. "Because he's a good and sincere man. He would do anything to show his love for me. To me, love is more precious than gold and silver." Billie looked at Sarah. "I wouldn't trade Alvarez for riches or anything else

"Why?""Because you know the two executive officer of Rorizon Corp. Are you actually their bodyguard?"Steve snorted softly. "No. I'm Mr. AL's assistant.""I expected that. Then why are we meeting with Mr. Louis?""I have to tell you that I found Mr. Al's party partner and asked for a job for you."Billie was touched that Steve always cared about her. "Why do you always help me? Do you have another purpose?" Steve's kindness always made Billie wish he loved her.Steve's face turned sad. "From childhood to adolescence, I grew up in an orphanage. Therefore, I can understand how difficult it is to provide for many children."Billie was stunned to hear that.

"What are you doing here?!" she fumed. "How dare you sit in Mr. Al's chair! You defiled it!"Felix was annoyed but didn't dare act without Steve's orders."Felix, Louis, you may return to work.""Okay." The two men nodded obediently, then walked out, leaving them alone.Valerie was puzzled that the two men would obey a poor man like Steve. "Where's Mr. Al?!" Valerie snapped."He's already here.""Where?!" Valerie looked around, but she found no one but Steve. "Look carefully." Steve grinned mischievously. He would play a prank on her by capitalizing on her obsession with him."You're not fooling me! There's no one here but you and me! I don't want to waste my time talking to you!""I'm Mr. Al.""You?!" Valerie burst out laughing. "I'm not going to fall for your bullshit, damn it! You can

He even helped me get a job at this company.""Am I wrong to care about a man who is nice to me?" The woman added.Felix smiled meaningfully. "You can't lie to me, Ms. Billie. I'm a former professional bodyguard. I'm good at reading someone's heart from their expressions and gestures."Billie looked away as her cheeks flushed. "You don't know anything about me. Hurry up and take me to Mr. Louis before he scolds me.""Okay."Felix escorted Billie up the elevator to Louis's office on the highest floor of the building. "By the way, do you also work in this office?" Billie was confused by Felix's presence in the Rorizon Corp office.

    Billie was stunned to hear that. She didn't expect Steve to help so many people other than her. She cursed her stupidity for thinking she was special to Steve. "Alvarez isn't as bad as you think. He did it to help the poor economy." "You must be that guy's friend." Martha sneered. Billie held back her anger. She must not waste Steve's struggle to get her to work at Rorizon Corp. "Can I start working? Please give me a tutorial." "Do it yourself. I won't waste my time teaching an amateur employee like you. Now get out of my workspace!" Billie was annoyed, but she decided to leave to avoid an argument. "Oh, shit. Now, what do I do?" Billie was afraid to complain to Louis and Felix. Martha would hate her even more. "I'll get Billie fired like I did the finance rep before. I must think of a way to get her out of this office." Billie was surprised to hear Martha's words from behind the door. 'Asshole! I didn't expect Martha to be so cruel. She had the heart to slander the previ

    Steve's hands were clenched tightly at that. How dare that bitch degrade him in front of his employees. Many employees watched the argument from their desks while whispering to their coworkers. "I agree with Ms. Martha. I've had it with Alvarez's arrogant attitude. I hope Mr. Al sees Alvarez working in his office in person." "Alvarez always acts without the approval of Mr. Louis and Mr. Al during the employee meeting the other day." "Did he forget that Mr. Al is the owner of Rorizon Corp., not him?" "Alvarez doesn't seem to be able to accept the harsh reality that his company is bankrupt." "Hell, we can't go against Alvarez's decision since he's more experienced than us." Steve sometimes disguised himself as an employee and worked with them to lighten their work when Louis was busy and didn't have time to take care of other work. However, Steve didn't expect all the employees to think he was arrogant when he taught them. Steve was disappointed to hear that. "You should tha

Mateo's eyes widened. *How is this possible?!* Steve grinned. “Is that all you've got?” [Iron Body item has been activated.] [Usage time: 5 minutes.] 'His strength is insane.

After taking in all the material, Steve started writing a proposal to pour out his ideas. "I hope CEO Rodriguez likes my ideas." He headed to Rodriguez Corp and approached the receptionist. "Can I meet Mr. Rodriguez?" Steve asked politely. The woman glanced at his appearance from head to toe. “Do you have an appointment with him?” "No, I don’t." "Sorry, but you can't meet him." "Please, I have something important to discuss with him.""You should leave and fix your appearance first. You look like a homeless person." Steve was annoyed but didn’t want to argue.

[Main Quest: Save Anderson's Daughter][Time Limit: Unlimited][Reward: Mystery]"I don’t even know who Anderson’s daughter is," Steve mumbled under his breath, rubbing his temple. A soft knock on the door broke his concentration. A beautiful woman entered, carrying several large gift boxes in her arms. She smiled politely as she approached him. “Excuse me, sir. Someone sent these as a congratulatory gift for your first day,” she said, placing the boxes on his desk. Steve’s brows furrowed. “Who sent them?” “I’m not sure, sir. Even the delivery person didn’t know,” she replied. A strange feeling crawled up his spine. Something about this didn’t feel right. “Thank you.

    Steve ignored his coworker’s earlier warning. “Probably just some workplace drama,” he muttered to himself. He didn’t have time for vague concerns.
