***The next day.Today was an important day for Dylan. He has made an appointment with the owner of the empty house, the demolition plan will not happen and will change to renovation.Gundo prefers the renovation option over demolition, not only because demolition would be costly, but also because the house still looks solid and usable.Only some parts need to be renovated. Yesterday, the trio had not had a chance to see the condition inside the house, so the final decision on whether to demolish or renovate will be decided now.Since the meeting was not so official, Dylan decided to wear a casual outfit, but still looked presentable to those who saw him.He was still in the room, looking prepared with his eyes focused unwaveringly ahead, watching himself through the reflection in the mirror. He was completely ready, just waiting for Maya to arrive.Not long after, there was a soft knock on the door to Dylan's room. The man immediately turned around, stepped closer to the door and op
Together with Gundo and the owner of the empty house, Dylan and Maya stepped through the front yard until they reached the front of the house.The two people saw clearly what the condition of the house was like, there were indeed some damaged parts, but according to Maya, the damage was not fatal.The damage in question included peeling paint, wood that was porous due to termites, and broken tiles on the roof. Such things can be resolved by renovating."Come, see the inside," said the homeowner.The middle-aged man slowly opened the door, revealing the inside of the empty house, which was covered in dust and cobwebs. Some furniture was still in place, such as sofas, chairs, cabinets, and some kitchen utensils."Didn't you take all this stuff?" asked Dylan."I bought a fully furnished house elsewhere, so I no longer need the old furniture," said the man who owned the house.The living room looked spacious, with some changes that could be made to make it a restaurant. Gundo was the busi
***The next day.Maya had gotten information about the landlord's phone number, and his name was Jacob. Dylan did not plan to return to the empty house again and sign the agreement.He thought of signing the agreement here, at the Sullivan residence. Maya had already notified Jacob to come to this place, especially since he had no objection to doing it at the Sullivan residence."When will he come to this place?" asked Dylan, still standing focused on the study window connected to the outside of the Sullivan residence in the house's backyard."From Jacob's text, he'll probably arrive around ten in the morning," Maya replied.The woman was still standing firmly before Dylan's desk with her eyes focused on Dylan, specifically Dylan's back, which felt large and authoritative.Dylan nodded, looking back with both eyes fixed attentively on Maya. Dylan turned around, stepped closer to the desk, and sat on it."When will the contractor start renovating the house?" asked Dylan, curious."Fro
Maya escorted Jacob's departure to the front yard of the Sullivan residence, Dylan following behind Maya.Jacob didn't come to this place by driving a personal vehicle. He didn't have a single car, not even an old car. That was the reason why Jacob chose to travel wherever he was going by taking the city bus.The middle-aged man continued to take steps at a steady pace, leaving the place and heading to the front gate of the Sullivan residence.When the man arrived, Jacob was seen leaving through the small door provided at the front gate of the Sullivan residence. However, the two post guards at the gate were seen opening the three-meter-high iron gate.Dylan squinted, seeing who the gate was opened for, even though Jacob had already walked through the small door. A white
"I have a lot of things to say, actually," Dylan replied."Go ahead, just say what you want to say. I'll answer as I can," Nathan replied.The man poured more wine from the bottle into the glass he was using. One glass wasn't enough for Nathan when he tasted the best-tasting wine that Dylan had.Nathan quite liked the taste of the wine, especially since the wine Dylan was currently serving was an expensive quality wine; price doesn't hide quality, and that's what Nathan knew about it.Dylan did not deny that he did have a sizable supply of wine of the highest quality. It was only natural for Dylan to think that Nathan would like the wine he served."These shares, are you really going to sell them and no longer participate in Monarch, or do you have other plans after selling these shares?" asked Dylan, both eyes turning to Nathan."I can say for now, the best I can do is to sell my shares in Monarch. In the future, if there are any significant changes happening at Monarch, I won't hold
Dylan and Nathan talked a lot about investing and stocks. He made it clear that Nathan was planning to start a new company, similar to what Dylan was doing.What Dylan was doing fully inspired what Nathan wanted to do, especially since the man beside Nathan had grown from a nobody to a formidable entrepreneur."What kind of company do you want to start exactly?" asked Dylan, curious."It's still the same line of business Lawrence is in, banking. Hopefully, Lawrence and Sullivan can work together on that business plan," Nathan replied.Dylan nodded. He thought of an interesting idea that he could implement given the situation. Sullivan was an expert in all business areas, especially advertising, while Lawrence was good at banking and investment.The man proposed something interesting for them to do. Dylan would seize Monarch, and Nathan would participate as a shareholder, while Nathan, when establishing the company he wanted, Dylan would enter as a shareholder as well."I'll put my sha
As Dylan and Maya ate together with Nathan and Nathan's assistant, they couldn't help but feel happy when they saw the expressions on Nathan and his assistant's faces.Nathan did eat out often, but most of them were five-star fancy restaurants. Today was the first time Nathan had eaten at an ordinary restaurant, but his face indicated the food he had ordered was delicious."How did you find a restaurant with such good food?" asked Nathan, quite curious, with his mouth still full of food."Maya told me. Does the food fulfill your appetite?" asked Dylan."Yes. It's a small restaurant, but I quite liked their food," Nathan complimented.Dylan and Maya had already finished the food they ordered, unlike Nathan and his assistant, who were still trying to finish the food in front of them.About ten minutes passed, and they finally ended their lunch. Nathan and his assistant's eyes were closed, with their backs leaning against the chairs they were sitting on."Do you need a nap?" asked Dylan
Dylan and Nathan continued to approach one of the rooms where Robert worked. Some employees in the place occasionally noticed the arrival of Dylan and Nathan.The employees suspected that the arrival of the two people to this place must be related to the future of Monarch, especially in their opinion, the Monarch company was not doing well.Dylan knocked lightly on Robert's office door, Robert took a deep breath, as did Melissa who began to stand up straight, trying to develop a smile so that the impression she showed looked friendly to the two men.Robert's secretary opened the door to Robert's office, revealing the figures of Dylan and Nathan who came in neat suits. Not only the two men, but also Dylan and Nathan's assistants came in.Dylan tried to be as friendly as p
