"What does he mean by nothing?" asked Dylan.
The young man still looked furious at what Richard had said, as if the man was trying to test Dylan's thinking. Maya could only remain silent, not saying anything because she thought Richard's words must mean something.
Maya had worked with Richard for years. She knew very well that Richard would not say something without thinking about the impact of his words.
The response Richard showed earlier was something different. CEO Sully seemed to be trying to stop Dylan's revenge plan, even though Richard had previously said he agreed.
Dylan and Maya were now entirely inside the elevator. Maya was about to try to calm what Dylan was thinking, but her steps stopped when she realized Dylan was enveloped in definite anger.
<Maya squinted, trying to figure out whether what Dylan thought Richard meant was true. However, from the expression on the man's face, Dylan was pretty sure that Richard did mean it."Are you sure that Richard really thinks so?" Maya asked, trying to confirm.Dylan nodded. He was sure that Richard thought so because Dylan felt that Richard had not shown any gestures that wanted to help him so far. He seemed relaxed and calm, as if everything was going according to the man's prediction."I'm sure that's what Richard meant. Monarch may be able to recruit new people, but they will have a hard time dealing with the fact that Monarch is trying to increase their profits," Dylan replied.Maya nodded. If she thought about it carefully, what Richard was saying was probably the sa
*** One month later. KNOCK! The door to Dylan's study was knocked softly by someone on the other side of the door. Dylan was in the room studying something while chatting with Nathan Lawrence, one of the shareholders at Monarch who had been visiting Dylan a lot lately. "Come in," Dylan pleaded. The person behind the door was Maya. Maya opened the door to Dylan's office and walked in. Maya's eyes witnessed Dylan and Nathan sitting on the sofa in the room, looking at each other. Dylan turned his head towards the entrance, the man's heart so happy when he saw that the person who came to visit was Maya, his assistant, and current lover. "Have a seat, Maya. You just happened to come," Dylan said. Maya, who didn't know anything, spontaneously asked with a confused expression. She wondered what Dylan really wanted while he was talking to Nathan. "We were just talking a lot about business. I think working with the Lawrence family will expand our business even further," Dylan replied.
***Lulled by Maya's seductive invitation, Dylan said yes. Dylan did the adult thing with Maya right after he locked the door to the room, Maya did not show any response of refusal.In fact, according to Dylan, Maya was the most serious of them all. She kept wiggling her body, rubbing against Dylan's body until Dylan reached the peak of his pleasure.Both of them lay limply on the bed with both of their bodies unclothed, wrapped in a warm blanket with both of them hugging each other. Maya smiled with satisfaction, she did not expect her first experience on the bed would happen in the daytime with Dylan, the man she loved.Maya was actually conscious at the time, but Dylan couldn't tell because he thought Maya was delirious from drinking too much alcohol.
Dylan never knew the contract's truth, especially after hearing from Maya that Lindis said the new workers' contracts were different."Maybe there was a clause in the contract that prevented them from getting their severance pay," Dylan said.Maya nodded. That was the thought in her head after learning that the new workers received no severance pay.The situation in this one month had become so complex that Dylan had never expected the people at Monarch to behave in such a way, especially giving such a strange contract to new workers who knew absolutely nothing about it.Dylan wanted to make a move and make the situation worse as much as possible. However, he realized that if he started moving in a case like this, his plan would end up falling apart.There is one thing Dylan can do to deal with the problems that occur: stay silent and do not respond to anything. By staying quiet and not interfering much, Robert and Melissa were not as suspicious of Dylan."We should use this moment to
Dylan continued to drive away from the place to reach a nearby café. The three had been to that café before, so they would be familiar with the atmosphere there."I don't seem to see any workers from the advertising department leaving the office. Are they working overtime?" Maya asked.The woman was already curious, so she immediately asked Lindis, who was behind her. Lindis was initially reluctant to answer before arriving at the cafe, but what the heck, being in this car was also relatively safe, in her opinion."There is no one who has never worked overtime. Ever since they all started working, they've been faced with overtime," Lindis replied."How many clients do they have that they're ordered to work overtime?" asked Dylan, joining in the curiosity by
"What?" asked Dylan. The man certainly couldn't hide his surprise when he heard Lindis intended to resign from Monarch. If the woman insisted on leaving, Dylan's eyes would lose their eyes and ears in Monarch even more -only Wilson would remain. "You can't do that. I still need you," Dylan snapped. "I know, Mr. Sullivan. But I can't stand to have my pay cut by them," Lindis said. "If I manage to take over the Monarch, I won't let that happen," Dylan said. "Then take her from Robert. Do it quickly! The employees there have lost hope," said Lindis. Despite Lindis' pressure, Dylan still couldn't do it. He had agreed with the other shareholders that Dylan would only take a stake in Monarch when six months had passed. "I spoke to representatives from Rockefeller and Lawrence. They have agreed that they will sell their shares to me if in six months, Monarch's revenue no longer shows an increase," Dylan said. Lindis listened carefully. The information was new to her and she suspected
Dylan and Maya left the place, letting Lindis take public transportation home as she probably needed some time to herself.All the way home, Lindis kept thinking about what she should do now, especially when she found out about Dylan's plan to seize the Monarch.At first, Lindis thought that Dylan was playing around with what the man had said. However, Maya did not indicate that the two were joking in this matter.She knew very well what kind of pain Dylan was feeling, especially about the man's suffering when he was constantly the subject of the Watson family's scorn and ridicule.Sitting on the passenger seat while looking out of the bus, Lindis was still thinking about it, "What on earth am I doing here?Dylan and Maya were in a different place. They continued to drive away from the café to return to the Sullivan residence. After much discussion with Lindis, it didn't seem too bad if Dylan created another Monarch-related melee."She seemed depressed earlier," Maya said.Dylan repli
"Are you married?" asked Alfred, surprised to hear that Dylan was married. Dylan cast his eyes to the side again, looking at Alfred as he nodded. He and Melissa were still legally husband and wife, but they had been separated since Dylan's arrival here. And Dylan certainly didn't want to throw away that status. It wasn't that Dylan loved Melissa very much, but she would be of much use to him when he had already begun to execute the second plan, precisely after he had managed to wrestle the Monarch away from Robert. "I already am. Right now, I'm still the legal husband of Melissa Watson," Dylan replied. "Then you just divorce her. Haven't you two not been together for a long time?" Louis asked. Dylan's eyes were now focused to the side, looking at Louis who was none other than his mother, "I don't plan to divorce her. She's important to the course of my revenge plan." "So, should we wait until you're done with all your revenge plans?" asked Alfred. Dylan felt cornered by such que
