Dylan was still in the white sedan, watching the demonstration closely. He and Maya could not get out of the car, risking being noticed by the people working for Robert.

For now, the best they could do was wait until the demonstration was over. Dylan was still watching through the car, as Maya occasionally showed him a live streaming video from one of the media outlets she had called in for coverage.

About an hour passed in that place, Dylan saw clearly that the people who were protesting were starting to disperse. He didn't know why they had dispersed, given the lack of information Dylan could get from inside the demonstration site.

Maya's cell phone rang again, showing the contact number on her cell phone who was now calling Maya. Written in the contact number was the name of Maya's friend who had met her yesterday, Lindis.

Maya showed her cell phone to Dylan. Dylan nodded, allowing Maya to pick up the call. Maya cleared her throat.

"Maya is here," Maya said.

Maya activated the spea

    "How dare he bluff me?!" groaned Robert, annoyed while slamming many items on the table, not including his phone and laptop.Melissa was still sitting there with her attention on Robert. She was still with Sean in that place, unlike Nathan, who had left Monarch because he had something important to do."He's a shareholder of your company. It's only natural for him to ask for something like that," Melissa replied."Oh, so now you're voting in his favour?" asked Robert.With an annoyed look on his face, he walked over to Melissa, who was sitting casually on the sofa, holding a glass of high-quality wine. She and Sean seemed to be enjoying the bottle of wine, ignoring Robert's now uncontrollable emotions.The workers were dismissed. Robert ordered it on the advice given by Melissa. It was the best thing to do. The fewer people at Monarch, the better it would be for Monarch's top officials to resolve the issue."I'm not in favour of it; it's just the realistic attitude of someone who entr

    "What exactly does that friend of yours want to talk about?" Maya asked."I didn't know what he wanted to talk about either, but it seemed to be related to Monarch. In the phone call, he made it clear that his friend heard something from Robert's office," Dylan explains.Maya nodded slowly. She fully understood the response of Dylan's friend. If there was indeed information related to the Monarch, it would be better if it was discussed directly so that there would be no misconceptions between them.The two of them were still standing side by side in the front yard of the Sullivan residence, a yard that seemed to be filled with greenery that soothed the eyes, as well as the heart and body. Dylan and Maya were standing there for no reason. They were waiting for the arrival of the black sedan that was being driven to the place by Dylan's driver.From the direction of the residence's garage, the black sedan car that Dylan usually used when travelling passed by. Now, as before, his bodygua

    Dylan was shocked to hear that. If they tried to rehire the employees who were previously fired, then the possibility of Dylan being able to carry out his plan would be constrained."When exactly will that happen?" asked Dylan, curious."If I'm not mistaken, they will do it three days after the press conference. However, only Robert knows when exactly the employees will be called back," replied Jane, a woman who works as an OB at the place."This makes our position uncertain. This could adversely affect your plans, Mr. Dylan," Maya said.Dylan cleared his throat. He sat with his back against the chair, turning his face away from Jane and Eric, and Wilson who was now staring at him. The man had to move quickly, securing the people he was working with."Can you contact Thiago?" Dylan asked Maya."I will contact him soon," Maya said.Maya took out her cell phone, staring at the screen as her fingers began to search for a contact by the name of Thiago. Dylan himself refocused his eyes for

    Dylan was quietly enjoying the buildings of the city as he passed by, people passing by on the street in their vehicles or on the sidewalks on foot. Tomorrow was a holiday, the perfect time for all of them to do the usual fun things that were done when holidays arrived.Even so, Dylan had no intention of joining them. His heart was already locked on seeing the beauty of the lake, as Maya had mentioned earlier. The black sedan carrying Dylan and Maya seemed to have left the city area, heading towards the lake in the neighboring city.Occasionally, Dylan turned his head to the side, watching Maya's behavior, which he found strange. The woman straightened her hair several times, checked her makeup, and adjusted her seat. Her behavior caught Dylan's attention enough to ask."Are you okay?" Dylan asked."This is the first time I've visited them in years. I usually only call them when I'm homesick," Maya replied."I don't know what it's like, but somehow you seem kind of nervous like that,"

    "A-About that, I don't know if I—""HAHA! I expected it, the expression of a man who loves a woman can be seen clearly," Arnold said, laughing loudly while interrupting Dylan's conversation.Maya tries to calm her father who feels too happy about what happened, even though the two of them are just ordinary partner. Dylan as her boss and Maya as his subordinate, it's a common occurrence in the business world, a close relationship between superiors and subordinates."But I'm serious. Any man who manages to win Maya's heart will be the luckiest man in the world," Arnold retorted."All this time, she has always shown her loyalty to everyone, even to her superiors who are just her work partners. I always thought, what if Maya had someone to love?" Arnold continued, asking Dylan indirectly whether or not Dylan loved him.Dylan begins to understand what is going on in that place. Arnold and Jesy would be very happy if Maya was paired together with Dylan, the son of the famous Sullivan Family

    Maya was stunned into silence, unable to say anything as if both her mouths had been locked by a strong padlock. Her heart was beating harder and faster, her face was slowly turning red by itself, the effect of the confession said by Dylan.She never even expected that Dylan would say such a thing, because they had only been close for a few days and Dylan easily said things that Maya thought were quite difficult to ask or answer.The atmosphere of silence filled their closeness at that time. Dylan and Maya were still looking at each other with their eyes full of concern. Now that Dylan had expressed his heart, it was up to Maya to respond to what Dylan had said."I'm glad you have such feelings for me. If you love me for who I am, then you will also have a high sense of caring for me," Maya said."I'm three years older than you, I'm also stubborn, disciplined, and strict. I don't know if my attitude will be tolerated by you or not," Maya continued.Dylan held Maya's hand spontaneously

    An hour passed, and Maya was still drifting off into a peaceful sleep. The smooth road, the reduced noise of the city, and the soft song played by the car driver made her feel like she was in her room.Now, Maya's position seemed to be asleep with her head resting on Dylan's left shoulder. The man didn't mind at all, Dylan actually chatted with the car driver about many things before arriving at the Sullivan residence."I heard that she's the head of the bodyguards. But why was she chosen instead of the men?" asked Dylan, curious."The bodyguards were previously evaluated by Richard, to determine who was the most competent in leading the bodyguards. Among the dozens of bodyguards, Maya was the only one who managed to survive until the end," the driver explained."What ki

Even so, Dylan can't keep relaxing.He was seen writing something down on his notebook, an explanation he got after watching a video explanation by someone from behind a laptop screen. Louis and Richard themselves had gone somewhere, they said that they wanted to take a vacation to refresh their brains.Dylan cleared his throat. The conversation between the two took place over breakfast. Dylan was asked many questions by them about business, especially about matters related to the shares in the Monarch Company.Richard was honestly quite curious about Dylan's way of solving the problem, but he would

    The Next Day.Dylan woke up earlier than Melissa, despite both of them having a great time last night celebrating Dylan's appointment as CEO of Sully Corp. While in the bathroom, sinking into the bathtub filled with warm water and bubbles, Dylan kept thinking of ways to quickly bring down the valuation of Happyway company."Should I execute the same plan as I did with Monarch?" Dylan pondered.He reached for his phone, noticing the time was half past six in the morning. As the new CEO of Sully Corp, he should at least be there before eight."Sigh. Seems like I should discuss this with someone other than Maya," Dylan muttered.He quickly rose from the bathtub, grabbed his bathrobe, and exited after drying himself. The bathroom door was ajar, and Melissa was still sound asleep, a serene smile adorning her beautiful face. Despite being asleep, Dylan had to admit she looked beautiful.Her face reminded him of Sean, Melissa's ex, who cheated on her with another woman. Sean was also th

    That day ended earlier than it should have. Dylan bid farewell to Maya, considering their discussion about Monarch's future and its business strategy changes. Maya nodded, though she still felt annoyed with Dylan. However, she realized that the managerial questions seemed directed towards him.Maya remained in her office when the clock struck four in the afternoon. Silva had left half an hour ago, along with other employees who left at three. "Do you have so many things that you're late to leave?" someone asked, appearing in front of the Monarch CEO's office with a briefcase.Maya looked up, seeing it was Lindis. She came to invite Maya to relax before going home. "By the way, your presentation was great. I could clearly understand the plan," Lindis remarked, walking in and sitting on the sofa while opening a jar of candy."What do you think? I felt a bit nervous earlier," Maya asked, seeking Lindis' opinion."You handled it well; I'm sure it's because of the abilities you posses

    Dylan and Maya are now in the meeting room on the top floor of the Monarch building. Maya is the one who will start the meeting with discussions related to Monarch's business plan changes. Before they begin the discussion, Dylan informs Maya about what the Sullivan Family will do with Monarch in the future.One of the discussions between Dylan and Maya is certainly related to the change in Monarch's business plan."I want to thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this meeting," Maya explains.Assisted by Silva, Maya's secretary, the woman who is also the CEO of Monarch begins to explain why she has called the Monarch managerial leaders for the meeting."Previously, I gave you all a form to fill out with your opinions. Now, I want to discuss the conclusions from that feedback form," Maya replies.Maya looks to the side to gaze at Silva, then the woman nods. She gestures to Silva to help her move the presentation slides she has prepared. Dylan sits ri

    "Buying Monarch?" asked Maya, shocked with both eyes wide. "That's right. We've been monitoring the valuation of every company in the city. Among the many companies, Monarch is the only one that meets our criteria," Alen replied. Dylan walked over to Maya who looked shocked and had nothing more to say. It wasn't wrong for them to buy it, Maya was sure they had more than enough money to buy Monarch. But for Maya, it was the same as paying for her work and would put hundreds of Monarch staff out of work. She wanted to refuse their request, but she needed to talk to Dylan. Maya swallowed her saliva deeply, turned her head to the side and looked at Dylan's serious expression. Dylan's eyes were focused ahead, on Alen and Nicholas. "I'm sorry, it seems that none of the companies under my auspices have any intention of selling," Dylan replied, returning their words with a broad smile. "Oh, I see, yeah? Who are you, if I may ask? Why are you trying to intimidate Miss Maya?" asked Ni

    Although Dylan has fully taken over the leadership of Sully Corp, it is certain that Dylan will be working effectively tomorrow. Alice needs to design and organize some things that Dylan might need, such as job sheets and investment files.For today was the last day for Richard Sullivan to hold the reins of power. His burden was completely released and seemed to be sent towards Dylan."Where are you going?" asked Richard, curious.Dylan stopped his footsteps, looking back to see Richard sitting on the chair behind the CEO's desk."I'm going with Maya to Monarch," Dylan replied."What are you going to do with Maya there?" asked Louis, curious."Just a discussion about the future of Monarch. When I rise to CEO, Monarch will be completely under my control, right?" asked Dylan."You're right. Monarch was the first company you managed to acquire through the acquisition process," Richard replied."That's why I want to discuss the future of Monarch properly with Maya, after all, she is sti

    Ambition is like a double-edged knife. It can plunge someone into the abyss of evil, but it can also lead them to goodness.In this case, Dylan's ambition is one that leads to good. He is ambitious to build a new company and make people recognize that Sullivan under his leadership is the best.The interview session over, the reporters were happy that they had gotten the story they wanted. Now, they could go home and publish the story in their media.Dylan took a deep breath, then let it out. It wasn't just the reporters who were relieved, but Dylan was too. The man was happy to realize the interview session had ended well.Richard turned his head to the side, looking at Dylan intently. None of Dylan's statements would adversely affect Sully.The old man was also amazed to find that Dylan could control himself and his thoughts so well, especially when he got pressure-filled questions from reporters."Looks like I don't have much to teach you, Dylan," Richard explained.Dylan turned his

    The meeting finished on time, the signing between Dylan and Richard on a file was completed. Now, the leadership duties at Sully were fully transferred to Dylan, the new CEO of Sully Corp.Dylan waved at them, smiling as he tried to make a good impression on the important people in front of him.The shareholders were relieved to see that Sully had a new leader. Now, the success and growth of Sully's business was entirely in the hands of Dylan Sullivan.Dylan turned his head toward the right front, looking at Maya who was also seated among the other shareholders. The woman's eyes were teary, holding back the emotion of Dylan's success in achieving his goal of reaching the pinnacle of leadership at Sully.Richard walked over to Dylan, whispering something in the man's ear, "It's time for you to go greet the shareholders.""I'll do that," Dylan explained, his voice soft.The man stepped to the side, down the steps until he was fully in front of the shareholders.

    Dylan, along with Maya, stepped into the elevator together to reach the top floor. Dylan could see several employees looking enthusiastic upon his arrival, a sign that they were welcoming him warmly.They believed Dylan would bring a fresh perspective to Sully Corp, especially with the brilliant ideas he could offer. The employees had already heard about Dylan successfully seizing Monarch, Sully Corp's longtime rival. This alone demonstrated Dylan's capabilities, especially in management and business competition."Have they arrived?" Dylan asked, quite curious.Maya nodded. Just before she came to pick up Dylan, she had previously gone upstairs. She saw some of the shareholders had already arrived and were getting ready to welcome the announcement of Sully Corp's new CEO."I saw some of them had already arrived; the rest might be on their way," Maya replied."Are you nervous?" Maya asked, glancing sideways.Dylan cleared his throat, shaking his head. He no longer felt anxious or nerv

    ***The next day."Good luck with your first day as CEO of Sully," Melissa says.Both of them had finished eating breakfast that morning, Dylan had made it. Melissa helped him enough, she was starting to be able to do things in the kitchen.Now, Dylan looked neat in a white shirt and black suit, plus the black vest he always wore. Melissa does not remain silent, she also helps Dylan to wear a tie. Now, Dylan really looked like a young CEO who would always be dreamed of by women in this country.The woman before Dylan realized Dylan's good looks, precisely after the man wore such a formal businessman's suit. If only Melissa had seen him dressed like that before, perhaps she wouldn't have fallen into the abyss of her affair with Sean."How do I look?" asked Dylan, asking Melissa softly.The man was standing before a large mirror with Melissa looking directly behind him. Melissa's arms reached forward and hugged Dylan from behind."So stunning. I'm sure the ladies there will be amazed
