"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
Leon grinned from behind the mask. "Fate always brings me to that man, but this time I will embarrass him."Bella was very interested in seeing the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which was her dream car. "If that man needed a bride, I would marry him!" she muttered.Even though she came from a wealthy family, the Harrison family's wealth was still not comparable to that of the Jensen family. If Bella could become part of the Jensen family, all her friends would envy her.Bella walked towards the car. She wanted to see it up close."Bella, what are you doing?" Edward cried."I just want to see this car," Bella replied.William and Belinda had entered the restaurant, but Leon was still there. He watched them, see what they would do. Bella touched the car, and the bodyguard immediately approached her."What are you doing? How dare you touch Young Master's car!" The bodyguard shouted."Can I talk to your 'Young Master'? Who knows, I could be friends with him," asked Bella."Young Master can't
One week later.Wilhelm looked impatient to meet with the CEO of Jens Creative Enterprise. That company sent them an invitation to come to the office to discuss cooperation. Wilhelm would go there with Edward.Edward agreed to go with his father, with the main goal of wanting to meet the heir of the Jensen family. He wanted to see the face of the man who dared to humiliate him. "Edward, why do you look so unexcited?" Come on, it's a big day!" said Wilhelm as he patted the shoulder of his son who was sitting on the sofa."Yeah, I know," Edward replied. "I don't care about any cooperation, what I want is to see that man's face and repay him for what he did!" Edward resolved, and of course he just muttered. If Wilhelm had known that his son had a grudge against the CEO of the Jensen family, he would have preferred to scold Edward.Cooperation with the Jensen family company was more important than anything, especially when compared to Edward's emotions."Edward, let's go now!" asked Willi
"Why do you look so surprised, loser? It's very easy for my family to get cooperation with this company," said Edward."So you are the son of Wilhelm Lackner?" asked Leon spontaneously."Yes … but wait!" Edward frowned at Leon. "How do you know my father's name?""Like you said, the Lackner family is a respected family in the city, of course everyone knows them. But I just found out that you are his son," explained Leon. Luckily, Leon was able to immediately find the right reason so that Edward would not suspect him.Edward chuckled. "Actually, I really feel sorry for you. All your life you have only worked as a waiter, now as an office boy, and even the woman you love chose to leave you," he teased.Leon remembered the incident a week ago. Where Bella chased after him and ignored Edward."Then how is your relationship with Bella?" asked Leon with a grin."Our relationship is fine," Edward said, shrugging his shoulders. It could be seen from his expression that he seemed to be hiding
"An office boy?" Wilhelm asked.Edward nodded. "Yeah, he's just an office boy. I know him from my former business partner. He is her ex-husband. He only worked as a waiter at a restaurant before, and now he works as an office boy at that company. But I don't think there's any way he can influence the CEO's decision. There must be other factors," explained Edward."Are you sure he's really an office boy?""Yes, Daddy. He's just a loser. Even his wife asked for a divorce from him, there's no way he would suddenly become someone with influence in that big corporation."Wilhelm sighed. "Okay, I believe you. After this, we have to be more careful. I don't want something like this to happen again."Yes, Daddy."Leon returned to his house. Several maids greeted him and bowed to him in salute."Welcome home, Young Master," said the maids. They brought Leon's bag and his jacket."Sir, there is an invitation for you." One of the maids approached Leon and gave him the invitation.Leon looked at
