The next day, on a cold and calm morning, suddenly Leon's cell phone rings, disrupting his peaceful sleep. Leon's eyes opened slightly, and he glanced at the table beside his bed. Leon sighed."What the hell, what else did Claire want to say? I told her she could call the police if she wanted!" grunted Leon, who was sure that the person calling him was Claire.Leon grabbed his cellphone, and without looking at the screen, he immediately accepted the call."Claire, what is it?""Excuse me, Leon?" The baritone voice immediately made Leon's eyes widen. It wasn't Claire who called him, but the manager of the restaurant where he worked part time."Sir, sorry, I thought you were the other person," Leon explained."Leon, did you just wake up?"Leon nodded slowly even though the person calling him couldn't see his movements directly. "Yes sir.""Don't you remember what day it is today?""Day... oh, Saturday!" Leon rubbed his face roughly. "Yes, today is Saturday." Leon forgot he had to work o
Bella fell silent. She stared at Leon with an unreadable gaze. Meanwhile, Edward smiled with satisfaction at seeing Leon, whom he humiliated again. For Edward, he only spoke facts about Leon. He never felt guilty about it."All right, what would you like to order?" Leon asked. He decided to divert the tense atmosphere in the room by refocusing on what he was doing."I'd like a salmon en papilotte, and give me some unsweetened watermelon juice," Bella ordered."Give me the most expensive food and drink in this book," Edward ordered arrogantly.Leon sighed. "Is there anything else?""I think no," Bella responded."Okay." Leon immediately left from there.Today was the worst weekend for Leon. While working here, he had never experienced something annoying like this. "He really went too far. Just wait until the time comes, and I will reveal what he has done!" Leon's resolve.Leon delivered their order. When he entered the VIP room, he accidentally saw Edward and Bella holding hands. Then
"Leon, we hold you responsible for everything you've done," said the restaurant manager in his room. The restaurant manager asked Leon to come into his room and handed the man a letter of compensation agreement. Leon read the agreement letter at a glance and immediately signed it. "So what do you choose? Will you work here for a full year without pay or make up for all losses with money?" asked the restaurant manager. He could already guess that a poor man like Leon would prefer to work for a year without a salary rather than having to compensate with money. Of course, he was sure that Leon could not possibly have that kind of money. "I will make up for the loss with money. This is my last day working here," Leon answered. The restaurant manager chuckled at Leon's answer. "You must be kidding. Leon, that's 70,000 dollars. Where did you get that kind of money?" The response was mocking. "I'm not kidding, I'm serious! I can replace all losses with money," said Leon with a serious ex
"Good morning, Young Master," said the driver as he bowed and opened the car door.Leon rushed into the car. He was on his way to his company's office. Leon's appearance looks different today, he was wearing a tuxedo suit and the most expensive watch from the Rolex brand. He no longer wore his usual cheap, non-branded clothes.Leon's return as heir shocked the workers in his company. They had prepared the best surprise for Leon's arrival."Welcome, Young Master! We are very happy for your return as CEO," shouted the employees when Leon entered a room.Leon's eyes twinkled. He didn't expect to get this sweet surprise. "Thank you very much! I'm so happy to see you all again," Leon replied while cupping his palms.He cut the cake and distributed it evenly. Leon was very humble. Especially when he felt the pain of being poor, he became more understanding of life.The Jensen family was right, Leon would be a wiser person if he had tasted the bitterness of life.After finishing celebrating
"Sorry, our Young Master can't meet you," said the receptionist.Claire's shoulders dropped along with her exhaled breath. Claire's eyes were sparkling. This rejection was so painful for her. "Is he really not willing to give me a chance? The termination of this partnership was so sudden, I don't even know what my company's fault was.""Sorry, Mrs. Young Master's decision is absolute," said the receptionist."Thank You."Claire stepped away from there with great disappointment. She really didn't know what to do there. She walked to the parking lot with a blank stare. Claire's tears spilled out when she got there. The woman sat down in despair, crying."What should I do? What will happen to my company if I don't work with this company?"Without Claire noticing, Leon saw her from a distance. The man took off his suit and the luxurious watch he was wearing. He was only wearing a white shirt and black pants. Seeing Claire crying, Leon felt pity. If only that woman was still his wife, Leon
Arriving at her house, Claire was greeted by her mother, who had been waiting for her since earlier. Ariana wrapped her arms around Claire as her daughter walked into the house."Honey, I'm sure everything will be fine. I know you must bring good news," said Ariana, thinking positively.Claire sighed. Unfortunately, I don't have good news. I'm really confused, the CEO of that company doesn't want to meet me." She let go of her mother's embrace and walked towards the couch. Claire sat up limply. Since this morning, she has not even eaten a single bite of food. She seemed to have lost her appetite."Claire, dear, hasn't Edward talked to him about reconsidering that decision?" Ariana asked.Claire sighed softly. "Forget it, Mom. I'm not sure Edward actually did it. I can't even call him."Ariana sat down limply. What happens to her daughter's career will greatly affect her life. She would lose all this luxurious life if Claire went bankrupt.Even though the Weber family came from a low-m
Claire shuffled her feet aimlessly with a blank stare. The bad events that happened to her these past few days made her sad. She sat on a bench, leaning back."Claire, I know you can make it through!" Claire encouraged herself. She was still a little optimistic, even though the future of her company was hanging in the balance.In the middle of her reverie, Claire was reminded of her ex-husband. "After I divorced Leon, I had a lot of problems. Is it possible that this is karma?" she muttered. "No, this is not karma! What I have done is right, there is no point in continuing to be with that loser man." Seconds later, she dismissed her own assumptions.Accidentally, Claire saw Edward who was across the street. The man was jogging."Edward!" she exclaimed. Edward seemed oblivious to Claire's presence. "Edward! I have to talk to him!" Without thinking, Claire immediately ran after Edward."Wait!" Hearing a woman's scream behind him, Edward stopped. He turned his neck so his eyes could see
The Jensen family was having dinner together. The atmosphere that night was very special. Leon sat near his mother. Meanwhile, his father was across from him. Leon's parents studied their son's face and noticed that he looked unhappy."Leon, don't you like the food?" Belinda asked when she saw Leon's food, which still had a lot left on the plate. Leon actually refused to eat, but his mother forced him."It's very delicious, it's just that I'm already full," said Leon."How can you be full, you only eat no more than five spoons," said Belinda."Why did Mom even count how many spoons I ate?" Leon smiled. "I'm an adult, Mom. You don't have to worry too much about me like this. I have even struggled for years, and I can survive."Belinda sighed. "Okay, I'm not worried about you. But since earlier you looked gloomy.""Relax, Mom. I'm fine," Leon assured his mother."I plan to throw a special party only for you in the near future to announce that you are the heir to the Jensen family," said
