The two men were now on the basketball court, and the others had moved out. And it was all because Joshua was challenging morale.Joshua's eyes had been watching the man in front of him. He had analyzed the man's attitude and knew with just one action. The man would feel very challenged. He has high self-esteem and can be defeated in a competition. All his life, that's probably what he's done on the field.To make him suffer more in his way was to beat him at the game he was best at, and that was basketball. Without the need for Joshua to challenge him, the man challenged first."I'll teach you that you can't beat me after years of playing basketball," Morel spoke with a heavy voice, holding a basketball in his hand.Joshua watched the ball that had been bounced by Morel, already analyzing the moves that the man would make. "You'll regret it later." The simple reply said by Joshua annoyed him even more.So he started to dribble the ball to get past Joshua. He thought the moment he tur
A woman used to the camera lights was seen smiling in front of the camera. She waved her hand slightly and made the reporters waiting for her happy. She did various poses, and it was very satisfying for them. She is now on a red stage. People say this is an awesome red street.Because those who walk here are people with superstar-like titles, she is a supermodel famous for her extraordinary beauty. With her straight hair and a face full of friendliness, she managed to conquer many things that people thought were too fast for her age.Winter finally finished the business she was doing. Who knows how many events she had to attend in one day, and she wasted her breath in the car. "The dress I'm wearing this time is cumbersome. Can't they give me something heavier?" Winter spoke quite satirically at the manager beside her.The manager became agitated. He felt guilty. "Ms. Winter, something like that won't happen again. I will tell your stylist to give you a lighter dress." The manager bec
Alex hated the intruders or stalkers who often entered this place. Those who had desires to meet their idols assumed that they were equal or had an extraordinary relationship.That's why he hated Joshua, who was in front of hi,. This casually dressed man, who was very long, was now right in front of the waiting room belonging to their famous model. "You trespasser, I'll teach you a lesson!" He squeezed his hand. From the movement of his hand, he looked like he was getting ready to punch Joshua."I was invited here." Joshua gave him more information.But the person who seemed to have lost his temper didn't want to listen to what Joshua had to say. "I thought you were working in the lighting department, but you were pretending to be a lighting team officer. And I will make you cry for doing such an embarrassing thing."Alex's big voice made the people there rush to him. They certainly weren't going to let Alec face an intruder so quickly. "He's the intruder, Alex?"Alex nodded his head.
"Miss Winter!?" The staff shouted out. Winter was also quite surprised by the presence of a man she didn't recognize before.The man wearing a black hat stopped his footsteps right in front of Winter. Their eyes met. Winter could only see his eyes because his face was covered with a cap."Arrest him immediately! He's an intruder pretending to have an invitation from Miss Winter!" Alex shouted again, which made the other two people move immediately. They had just touched Joshua's hand.Alex's earlier sentence made Winter realize, so her eyes widened. "You're Joshua?" She asked in a reasonably firm voice. The people who heard that became silent, thinking about the sentence said by Winter.Joshua was calm in front of Winter. "I told them you invited me, and they didn't believe me." Joshua now stood up completely, his eyes still looking calm and sharp at the same time.Winter exhaled. She looked at the staff, her eyes becoming sharp. "He is my guest. You must apologize first." Winter said
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Isn't that man Joshua?" Someone roared when he saw that someone else was in this luxurious place. So, the few people standing together, he immediately turned their eyes in the direction the man was heading.One of them squeezed his hand firmly. "How can he be here? This is a party for the children of great officials and businessmen. He's just a person who doesn't have both parents."He remembered how arrogant Joshua was. They were friends in high school. Joshua was too calm, and people thought he was a cool guy, especially the girl that the guy liked who liked Joshua. Of course, as someone much bigger than Joshua, he didn't like that.Samuel looked at Ramon, and he smiled. "Don't you have good memories of Joshua?" The words that Samuel had just said had made Ramon angry so he hit him right on the shoulder, which made Samuel hold his hand firmly.He realized he had made Ramon angry. Now, his face was a little pale because of his friend's anger. He would g
"Charles, this man is an intruder. He just walked into this place and is a very bad person." Ramon spoke in front of Charles, he couldn't move freely, but soon he would get Joshua, and teach him a lesson for hurting him.Charles turned to look at Joshua, then looked at Ramon again. "You underestimate the security here?" the question made Ramon's eyes widen because this was a party for the children of officials and business people. Of course, the security was very high. Each of them showed an invitation card."It's not that, but something like that could happen. I know the orphan very well. He's not the son of a businessman or a politician!" Ramon emphasized his sentence; the people there immediately noticed Joshua questioning whether what Ramon said was true.Charles was their chairman, and the look in Charles' eyes was still cold. "You underestimated what I said? Then you're underestimating me." Charles' words made Ramon step back. He knew that conflict with Charles was not beneficia
It was a bright morning for some people; it was not brilliant for others. A woman with a haggard-looking face came in. Many things happened to her; she didn't get anything, and now she was in trouble.She exhaled her breath. "Emilia, why is your expression like that? You've got a wealthy boyfriend," she said casually, moving out of her seat a little to allow Amali to sit beside her."I'm done with Darren. It looks like I'll have to find another man." Emilia paused at the thought of such a thing, the sentence she had just said having caught her friend's attention.Now, Vana looked back at Emilia. "How could something like that happen? Isn't that Darren your target? You didn't go back to Joshua, did you?" Ivana emphasized her sentence; she looked at Ivana, who looked at her with a sad look. "You went back to Joshua?" She couldn't think clearly why her friend was acting like that."Yes, if I could do something like that. Unfortunately, I can't get it anymore." Emilia said in a frustrated
There was one nickname that was often saved on him since childhood when they often met. Joshua asked if he was the troublemaker.Joshua looked at Winter, who was smiling while hugging him, spoiling like that. And he didn't push away the woman who recognized herself as Joshua's lover.Then he turned his attention to Emilia. The woman's lips trembled at seeing a beautiful woman hugging Joshua. "That's impossible." Emilia spoke. She blinked her eyes a few times, seemingly wanting to believe that what she was seeing was an illusion.But this was a reality that she could not escape. Ivana, beside Emilia, was also surprised and spoke faster than she had. "How can you get a woman quickly like that? You apparently had me going with her from the start."Winter, who was there, spoke up. "Hey, the one who cheated on me was her. Why are you blaming Joshua? Joshua is a handsome man anyway, so it's very quick for him to get a replacement, and his replacement is me, a woman who is much more beautifu
Joshua stared frantically, worry engulfing him as he paced back and forth in front of the delivery room. He had waited a long time, but labour was taking longer than expected. She had never been this nervous in her entire life, but right now, she couldn't control herself and stay calm.Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, made worse by her heavy breathing. "Why are they taking so long? What exactly are they doing?" He knew that inside, people were busy assisting Winter's labour.Peter, who had also just arrived there about 45 minutes ago with Joshua, watched his boss anxiously but remained calm. "Maybe they will call you sir soon."Right after hearing Peter's words, from inside the operating room came the sound of a baby crying, which made Joshua instantly freeze in place with his retinas fully opened.He immediately looked at Peter. "Did you hear that sound?" he made sure it wasn't his hallucination.Peter nodded, and their gazes shifted to the open door of the operating room, where
"Hey, you," Joshua called out to the pair that had won first place in last year's rowing race. "I hope you guys won't give up on me. Let's compete fairly," Joshua continued.The pair nodded their heads in unison. They seemed optimistic that they would win this match. Especially when they heard about the fantastic prize offered by the President.The local people who had been gossiping were amazed. Although they had initially underestimated the President and the First Lady, they immediately changed their minds when they heard what Joshua had just said."Did you hear our President clearly? He said three times. Wow, we can be rich in the blink of an eye," said a man with a bald head."I didn't expect our President to be able to diffuse and calm the situation like that. I will register myself and my wife immediately. I don't want to miss this golden opportunity," said a man in a casual suit."Ha? What did the President say? Triple? That means six million dollars? Well, I can't let this pri
Winter beamed a sweet smile as she realized the day she had been waiting for had arrived. Yes, today they were going on their honeymoon. Although Joshua's work was not yet fully completed, as an understanding husband, he prioritised his wife's pleasure first.Joshua took Winter on a honeymoon to the mountains. Where there is a lake that people often use for rowing competitions.When they arrived at the mountains, Winter felt very happy. It had been a long time since she had enjoyed the beautiful green scenery that could spoil her lovely eyes.“Are you happy?” Joshua asked, holding his wife's tiny waist.Winter quickly nodded her head. She was pleased. Winter couldn't even express how happy she was right now. After some time living inside the state palace as the President's wife, finally today, Winter could enjoy her days without any awkwardness.“I have an even more wonderful surprise,” said Joshua, pulling Winter's hand to follow him.Winter's laughter echoed. “Where are we going, da
Although Joshua and Winter's wedding was over, the news was not. As if there was no end to the news, video clips of the wedding of the number one person in the country of Phrea continued to fill the television screens.“They are indeed a lovely couple. One is handsome and authoritative, while the other is goddess-like, beautiful, and gentle. May God grant the leader of our country a child soon,” said a visitor who was staring in amazement at the television broadcast of Joshua and Winter's wedding.“I had intended to set my daughter up with our new President, but it turns out that Mr. Joshua already has a mate,” said another.“Shall I petition for our President to choose a concubine,” said the middle-aged woman, accompanied by laughter.“Excuse me.” A waitress asked permission to put the food on the table. Then her eyes fell on the television screen showing the wedding of the number one person in Phrea. “Joshua...” she hissed later.The middle-aged women sitting there immediately turne
Mr Joshua Winter and Miss Winter Hopes are known to be getting married today." The people at home or work that day turned their heads towards the big screen, now showing the city's hottest and happiest news."Everyone is, of course, looking forward to our leader's wedding day with the woman he loves so much." The reporter smiled formally at the camera and joined the people watching in their smiles.As everyone knows, Joshua Western is the newly inaugurated president who is loved by his people. People are now chuckling with twinkling eyes. The wedding will be covered live at their city's most prestigious landmark.Some spectators of the live event seemed to chuckle in disbelief. "They're really amazingly good together. I'd love to see them in person. But the trip to the city centre took so long."Almost all national TV programs covered happy events with smiling faces. Some were even reporters from overseas, willing to fly all the way so as not to miss the president's wedding.Winter le
The careful preparations made in less than two weeks were, in fact, quite good and produced good results. Joshua's inauguration as president of Thera was witnessed by his people officials and leaders from other countries.Joshua took the oath, was inaugurated, and officially became the head of the country. The mature man also uttered his vision and mission and promised the entire community that he would be a fair, honest and wise leader. Joshua would also help the people prosper and build a better country."Congratulations on your inauguration, sir." Joshua received greetings no matter how many times he received them during this day. All the people around him looked pleased, happy for what Joshua had achieved."How about I offer you some cooperation?" One of the prime ministers from a neighbouring country made an unexpected offer to Joshua. The government had previously not been interested in establishing a relationship with the other country, but when Joshua was sworn in as presiden
"You look handsome and authoritative, Master. It is no mistake that the people of this country want you as their leader," Peter said.It was already the second week after the political troubles that had shaken the kingdom of Eranda."I will raise your salary, Peter," Joshua laughed.They were in the car that would take them to the state Palace because today was a historic day for Joshua as he would be sworn in as president to replace the dethroned Wiliam."You are the best, Master," Peter said proudly with a smile full of happiness. "Congratulations, Master," he continued.The car they were traveling in had almost reached the state Palace. However, the car's pace had to be slowed down because, outside the state Palace, there were already many people crowding around. They certainly couldn't wait to witness Joshua's inauguration."Long live, Master Joshua!""Mr. Joshua is our president!""Mr. Joshua is the savior of the people!""Long live Mr. Joshua!""Welcome the new president of ther
The political situation in Phrea was heating up. Residents have seen recordings of the conversations of those with high status. Those who had problems with Western's family could not move.The number of people supporting Joshua is increasing, and his stock is also growing. As Eranda's nobles wanted, they believed Joshua would replace President William to lead Phrea."Our president turned out to be a cold-blooded killer. How could he say such horrible things? The ministers under him were the same. They have no conscience at all," said one of the people.The people were gathering. They seem to be in a group and are endlessly discussing this issue. Many of them were supportive of Joshua, but some were restraining."We must give full voting rights so that Lord Joshua can immediately take Wiliam's place," said another."I will also do the same. Only Mr. Joshua is capable of leading our country. If Mr. Joshua can reveal the dark case that the political elites have covered up, I believe Mr.
"Master, you've been in there too long."Joshua opened his eyes when he heard the servant's voice from outside. The man who was soaking in the warm water in the bathtub sighed heavily. Joshua got up. He then washed his burly body and covered it with his usual white bathrobe.Joshua came out of the bathroom, his hair still half-dry, making beads of water drip down his head. The maid quickly handed him a small towel and helped Joshua to dry his hair."Have you prepared everything I asked for?" Joshua asked."That's it, Master."Joshua took over the small towel. He then walked to a sofa directly facing the glass wall that showed the beauty of the outside world.When Joshua was seated on the sofa, the waiter quickly handed him a cup of hot tea. Joshua took a sip of the tea and returned it to the waiter."Give me the tablet," Joshua said, asking for his electronic device."I'm sure you'll like today's hot news, Master." The waiter said confidently as he handed over the 14-inch flat object.
