Marco sat in his work chair with one leg crossed. He seemed to be checking some work reports sent through his email. In fact, besides Wilson, there was also the topmost sign that the woman had just sent a weekly report for their company to evaluate. There was even a report of an employee candidate interviewing in two days. Marco kept checking to ensure they were not missed with a fake identity.And now, the door of the room was knocked from outside. Will entered and bowed respectfully. "Good afternoon, Mr. Marco. I came with the report you requested," the man said and approached. Marco nodded and let Will turn on the tablet the man had used for work.The man seemed to search for something briefly before blinking briefly. He selected a few images to show and made a report based on the spy they sent yesterday.Then, Will cleared his throat. "There was an incident at Shallow Mud cafe yesterday afternoon." Marco didn't glance at him and just listened to Will give the report. Marco is also
Marco had just woken up from his sleep a few minutes ago. The man was still on the bed and staring at the ceiling of his room. Will had left early in the morning because Marco had given him three urgent tasks that needed to be done immediately. Since the place was quite far away, to ensure he was not late, Will left before Marco woke up with everything the man needed ready.While Marco was still enjoying his time to collect his thoughts, suddenly, the bell in his house rang repeatedly and very quickly. At first, Marco didn't want to pay attention to him, as he was still not fully awake.But then, as the bell rang impatiently, Marco sat up with his eyebrows knitted together. The man stared at the door to his room with annoyance. "Who's visiting so early?" he muttered, looking out the window to see that the sun wasn't fully up yet.Marco let out a long breath. "It's so rude to make a scene this early morning." He thought it was one of his servants doing their duty. It was very annoying
Marco gave a flat look. "Of course, I know you are from the Brown family." Marco did not recognise who they were at first, as he had just woken up. However, after a few minutes of conversation, he remembered who these men and women in front of him were, who were being so rude and disturbing his quiet time in the morning.Hearing this, Christine naturally snorted. "If you knew we were from the Brown family, you should have stepped aside. It's early, you know!" He ignorantly chased away Marco, who was the host."It's time for me to have a nice time over there," the woman added again. She had even imagined sitting on the balcony enjoying the morning view with a glass of hot tea. The air smelled refreshing, and it relaxed her.Marco wanted to roll his eyes in disgust. The behaviour of these two people really couldn't be reasoned with properly. "You guys are foolish. Of course, I know because I made a deal with your father."With annoyance in his eyes, Marco made sure the two of them looke
Joe chuckled in a loud voice. He leaned closer to Will's cell phone and stared at it like he was face-to-face with his father. "This really doesn't make sense. You can't do this to me."The man rubbed his face quite hard. He remembered that his father had given him the apartment as a gift. "You said yourself that it was a gift. So how can you suddenly sell it to someone else?"Joe was now eager to shake his father's shoulder so that the man would realize what he had just done. "Do you know how ashamed I feel right now? My wife wants to stay inside, and you do things without even asking me." "Shut up," his father said with a heavy sigh. Joe frowned slightly, wondering why his father's voice sounded so tired. It should be him who was exhausted now, not his father. Because Joe felt he had been victimized by his own father."You should be self-aware. I gave this unit to you as a gift." The man on the other end of the line paused his words briefly to take a deep breath. So many times, Joe
Joe looked at his wife, walking back and forth like a hot iron with steam. The woman stomped on the inn floor, staring at everything like she wanted to crush it. "It can't be like this! It's not fair! We've been living in that unit for so long!" shouted Catherine as she messed up her hair. The image of the beautiful scenery she had been enjoying had to be wiped out because the place was no longer hers.She was upset that she couldn't get the apartment she was used to and now had to stay elsewhere. The view here was not as good as in her old place. Which now belonged to Marco. And Catherine was really upset about that. Maybe she would force Marco to get out of there by dragging him if she could. But she couldn't. Her father-in-law had sold the place for a very high price.Joe then stood up and hugged his wife from behind. At first, she threw him off because she was uncomfortable and angry at the same time. "Let go of me! Don't seduce me because this is all your fault!" Resentment still
Marco noticed the interaction between Thomas and the man who had just arrived. The two seemed very close, with the line between superior and subordinate obvious. Thomas was very respectful of the man whom Marco did not recognise. Even the man bowed respectfully many times, seemingly reluctant and looking away simultaneously.The man who had just arrived was quite tall with a firm jaw. His eyes were dark brown, with a thin moustache adorning the underside of his nose. And most strikingly, there was a mole under his eye of considerable size."Sir, you are here again. You are indeed a remarkable leader," Thomas said with a wide smile. Then the man cleared his throat. "This project will become something extraordinary under your leadership."Thomas then chuckled and looked adoringly at the man who had just arrived. "I'm really happy that you're here to oversee this project. Not every leader would do that, especially in a hot, sweltering place like this."The man with a mole under his eye c
"How dare you say that!" said the man who claimed to be Marco. He was distraught after hearing what Marco said about him. With squinting eyes, the man stared at Marco with a sharp glint. What man would dare say that to him? He certainly wasn't going to stay silent. "You're just a stranger here. You're a nobody. Might as well get out of the way."With a small deheman, the man corrected his slightly tilted tie. "I've been here for a very long time. And, of course, I'm Marco. You don't need to interfere and be a know-it-all."The workers seemed to nod in agreement. This was someone who had been here all along and supervised their work. At first, the workers didn't recognize anything about the man named Marco either. But since the man pointed out that Marco was the biggest shareholder in this place, the workers started to believe him.Especially after all the rumors that Marco was the leader of this big project. All decisions belonged to that man. With the power Marco had, the workers wou
The man, whose identity was unknown, clucked loudly. His gaze became increasingly wide, and seemed to dislike Marco's existence. He felt that Marco's existence was really inconvenient for him. "Why should I bother to take my ID card? You're not an important person to be prioritized like that!""Everyone already knows me. I don't need any validation from you," the man added once more. He was really unhappy with Marco's impudence in wanting to see proof of his identity. She had come this far and didn't want to be ruined in just one day. Especially seeing the workers who had been respecting him and always bowing politely. That was a lot of fun, and he wasn't about to let it go.Marco gave a slight crooked smile. He could read the concern from the man who was trying to avoid the proof. And so, still with his arms crossed over his chest, Marco looked at the workers around him. "But, did you all not hear at all that Mr. Marco is coming to visit today?"At that moment, the workers began to
The long journey that took sixty minutes ended with Robert returning to the starting point of Marco's house. The man had been blindfolded and could see the sunlight illuminating the courtyard. Robert let out a long sigh. He stood by the door, where Marco sat on the sofa quietly, before walking in and sitting in front of Marco like last night when they first met."Thank you very much," Robert said sincerely. The man took a deep breath and looked calmly at Marco. "Thank you so much for helping Anna. And you take it easy, whatever you want, tell me. I will give it to you as a gift," Robert added solemnly. To him, nothing was more important than health for Anna. Even if she had to die, it wasn't a big deal to him.Marco nodded, along with the waiter who brought tea for him and Robert. "Of course, I'm not one to help without asking for something in return."Robert just chuckled before clearing his throat. The man put his hands into the pockets of the suit he was wearing. "Oh yes, I have
Not only Robert but Marco is now also standing in front of a room that has a glass barrier. Where, it appears that Anna is conducting a series of examinations with inlets. Starting from the scan and also how her physical condition is now. With the help of a doctor and two nurses, plus a scientist on guard there, Anna was checked as a whole to make sure nothing was missed at all.As Marco, the man turned to Robert. Robert seemed to clench his hands and keep them under his mouth. Her eyes looked so worried. Marco was sure that she was not feeling well.So, Marco chose to calm her down. "Calm down. Your sister is being examined. You can look at him and stay positive. Anna will be fine."Upon hearing that, the tense Robert turned his head and smiled slightly stiffly. The man let out a long breath and closed his eyes. His head looked up slightly, trying to dispel the thousand and one unpleasant thoughts and prejudices he had. Anna had started all kinds of examinations before, and they alw
And just as Marco had asked, the next morning, an hour after sunrise, Robert appeared at Marco's residence. The man came with the personal driver serving the Veliiy family. And when Marco saw him, Robert had a small smile."Please, Mr. Robert," Will said as he opened the door. Robert nodded and entered the living room, where he was already there, and looked at him directly. For a moment, the two men looked at each other.Until Marco got up and walked over to the older man. "You've come, and where's your sister?" he asked reassuringly. Marco had not yet seen the woman Robert had told him about.He had only seen Robert coming with the driver before entering here.Robert nodded and then looked back. He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to come towards him. And when the waiter saw her, he nodded and walked around to the other side.Now Robert walked back outside and approached his servant. And from there, Marco saw someone he had never seen before. Robert approached while pushing the w
And now, things were quieter than before. The firearm Marco had brought with him had been placed on the table and posed no threat to Robert. Although the man still occasionally glances at her, remembering the sensation that Marco had caused him a few minutes ago.Both men are seated on their respective sofas as they were at the beginning of the meeting. The two of them were facing each other, and Marco started flipping through the file that Robert had brought as proof of their past cooperation.Marco gave a small nod. "Apparently, my predecessor did get a lot of favours from your family."Marco saw that one of them was helping with the investment at the beginning of building his family's big name. In fact, one of the most memorable was the dispatch of troops when his family was attacked by outsiders who did not like the success of the family head."Because of your intelligence as well as your stubbornness, I will accept your offer." Marco's eyes now turned to look at Robert and saw a
Robert looked at Marco with cold eyes. He paused for a moment and let out a long breath. "I'm not joking or imagining. I know the truth. And because I have such curiosity and confidence, I believe that the Galahad family can help my brother."Robert then clenched his hands into fists, remembering his efforts to help his brother recover. "I've seen so many of the best doctors this city offers. I even went abroad to get the best results."The man took a deep breath and shook his head, his hands raised openly. Her shoulders lifted in despair. "Still nothing works.""I might be able to form my medical team. But the research and gathering took so long. It can't be just one or two months. Even in ten years, I may not be able to get it," Robert said at length.His eyes seemed to glaze over slightly, a shadow of someone present in the man's head. "While my brother's lifespan can probably be counted, he doesn't have that long to wait for me. And now he needs something fast, something that can
The living room was quiet, with Marco and Robert sitting across from each other at a glass table. Marco crossed his legs and looked straight at the man who was seven years older than him.As for Robert, the man looked at Marco sharply before taking a slow breath. "I came here because I heard that the head of the Galahad family has changed."The man looked Marco straight in the eye without blinking. He looked confident and calm at the same time. "And as part of the Velliy family, I would say that the Galahad family is indebted to him. That's why I want you to give me a favor."Robert didn't want to waste time with small talk. He had something to pursue and made sure that everything went well. There was no time to think things over and over again. He was already here and had made up his mind from the moment he saw the opportunity.Marco rested his hands calmly on his thighs and looked at Robert seriously. "On what basis do you dare to say such a thing?" It took more than words to convin
A warm puff of water with a refreshing citrus scent filled Marco's en suite bathroom. The bathtub was filled with water and almost full of foam. While Marco, the man, sat in his natural state with his head resting on the edge of the bath. Classical music played softly and pampered the ears.In Marco's hand, a glass of red wine accompanied his relaxing time. The man closed his eyes with his head, looking up at the bathroom ceiling. He had drunk almost two glasses of alcohol, so no doubt, his mind was flying into the clouds. But amazingly, Marco still knew he could not fall asleep in the bathroom.Marco let out a long sigh and got up from the bath. He grabbed a towel and moved to enter the room after rinsing himself with warm water from the shower.The sound of the door moving open could be heard from the room, along with an incoming message on Marco's cell phone. The man moved closer and opened it. It was a message from one of his good acquaintances. "Oh, what's wrong?" he muttered cur
The staff at Horizon Edge's capital branch company gathered at the entrance in a row. They all straightened their clothes and put on their best smiles, waiting for someone to arrive in a few minutes.When a black SVU car stopped in front of the company's door, and a person with shiny shoes emerged, the staff instantly put on their brightest faces. Everyone bowed deeply, waiting for the figure to enter and pass them all."Welcome, Mr. Marco," they said almost simultaneously. No one dared to raise their face when Marco's figure passed by, and they were still bowing deeply until Marco entered through the main door.One of the staff at the far end immediately followed Marco's lead and accompanied him to the elevator. "Good morning, Mr. Marco. We are truly delighted to have you here today. We are truly honoured that you would let us know in advance."While the manager managing the recruitment of new staff also approached, the man smiled broadly and showed a friendly face. "We've heard all
Hearing so many questions and sounding quite disorganised, Marco raised his hand to signal the reporters to hold back for a moment. The camera flashes continued to rain down on him rapidly as Marco took a deep breath. He remained calm and controlled the situation well."Please calm down," Marco said, referring to the reporters bombarding him with endless questions. And right at that moment, the noise from the questions that kept coming back and forth slowly decreased little by little. Before the end, there was only the running footage to record the events in the hotel hall.When all the reporters were under control, Marco looked up at the faces now, watching him intently. "All this time, I've been doing my work elsewhere, which is just as important as the work in the family company.""As for the business I just did, I'm quite fond of it outside of family matters. And about the hidden identity, we are waiting for the right time to share this good news with everyone," Marco added.The m
