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
"Do you intend to embarrass him?" Melissa asked."I don't really want to do that, considering Robert is the CEO of a big company. However, there is something I want to accomplish in this, and it is related to him," Dylan replied.Melissa squinted, looking at Dylan, who was standing tall in front of her. Robert was still outside the office, being followed by his secretary.Realizing that Dylan's business in this place was over, Maya held Dylan's hand tightly until the man's attention was diverted to Maya. Dylan's head swiveled back, watching Maya stare at him with seriousness."If there's nothing to discuss, we'd better get out of here," Maya said.Dylan cleared his throat. He knew in his heart that Maya would not have made such an expression if nothing was bothering her mind and heart. Dylan glanced quickly at the front, clearly seeing that Melissa was probably the cause of Maya's aggressive attitude.Melissa looked down sluggishly after hearing that Dylan was about to leave, invited
Dylan pulled the chair closer, sitting right in front of Melissa. This was the first time Dylan and Melissa sat together in such a different situation, on equal footing.Normally, Melissa avoided meeting Dylan, even when they were at the Watsons' home. Back then, Melissa had no romantic feelings for Dylan. They got married because Melissa was pregnant at that time.Dylan had no idea that Melissa was pregnant; the Watson family gave Dylan a different reason, one of them being compensation for Dylan having slept with Melissa."It's been a while since we've had a meal together like this," Melissa said, smiling broadly.The man in front of Melissa fell silent, perhaps never remembering a time when he had a meal with her. When Dylan was still a servant at the Watsons' home, he had to wait for Melissa and others to finish their meals before he could eat.If the food on the dining table ran out, Dylan had to cook his own meal. So, Dylan had no memory of h
The meeting between Dylan and Melissa came to an end, just as the orange evening sky turned black with scattered white stars. Dylan turned his head to the side, to the city streets that were beginning to be illuminated by streetlights and car headlights."I'll think about it," Dylan said.Melissa cleared her throat. She fully understood what the current relationship between her and Dylan was like. Melissa also couldn't force Dylan to stay with her, it would only worsen Melissa's path to reconcile with Dylan.The food and drinks previously served on the table were gone, tasting delicious with refreshing drinks. Dylan was back in his black suit, saying goodbye by standing tall in front of Melissa.Dylan showed no special expression, just a cold face with a simple look in his eyes. However, it was different with Melissa who had a deep red blush on her cheeks, with her luminous eyes looking at Dylan attentively."I still want to be here. You can leave if you want, Dylan," Melissa replied.
