Ricky chuckled loudly. His eyes looked sharp, and he seemed to dislike what Marco had said about him being blind. "You're the blind one!" He pointed at Marco with a low glare. "When everyone else is going to work, and you're exercising."The man in the heart-red shirt snorted. "That shows that you have absolutely no work and no income. Someone who is uselessly unemployed. You must not be able to tell the time between day and night anymore, huh? After all, you don't have a job that makes you any money at all!"Marco glanced at Ricky and said, "It's not like you're in front of me right now while I'm exercising. That means you're unemployed." Marco replied briefly to Ricky's words, which annoyed the man who had gone to college with him. Marco turned his words around so easily without thinking.Ricky glared sarcastically at Marco. Actually, what Marco said was the truth, that he was unemployed. Ricky didn't work, but he had so much prestige to admit it in front of Marco. The man he looke
When Marco stopped running, Ricky immediately felt energised. The man's eyes widened, and he smiled brightly. He looked at Marco's face with a happy expression. He thought that he had successfully baited Marco. And he was sure Marco must feel quite depressed because he guessed correctly. He was not misinformed. The man in front of him had only baited him his whole life. Both when he was in college and even until he got married. The difference is, back then, Marco hitchhiked to be financed from the taxes that the parents paid. And now, Marco was hitchhiking to a woman. To Ricky, that felt humiliating and must have flicked Marco's sky-high ego."Am I right?" asked Ricky enthusiastically. The man gave a small chuckle without waiting for Marco's approval. "Then, come and have breakfast with me. You must be holding your hunger right now." Ricky even touched his stomach, pretending to rub it as he held back his hunger. It was a taunt to Marco. A subtle taunt that Marco would remember for as
Ricky jumped back when he heard what the waiter said to Marco. His face looked so shocked, especially when the waiter bowed to Marco as if Marco was a great and respected master. The man widened his eyes and blinked a few times. Feeling that this was all impossible because Marco was just a son-in-law who lived in his wife's house.Moreover, the servant looked so neat in an all-black suit. He called Marco Master. This didn't make any sense. Ricky swallowed hard and asked the servant in a clumsy voice, "Is he your master?"Ricky had hoped the servant would say Marco was a son-in-law in his master's house. But the answer he got was completely different from what he wanted. "Of course, this is my master." The servant glanced briefly at Marco and said, "He is the only master I respect."Now, the servant looked at Marco fully and asked politely, "Master, now what shall we do?"Marco looked at his gold Rolex watch and replied, "We should go home. I'll have breakfast soon." After that, withou
"Master," Will greeted as Marco still enjoyed the weather on the television. The man cleared his throat softly, indicating he heard what Will would tell him. In front of him, there was an almost full cup of coffee. And also a few stacks of documents that Will had just delivered to him before Marco started listening to the weather.It was then that Will showed Marco a red invitation with a gold ribbon wrapped around the end. The man calmly said, "With respect, you are invited by Mr. Jerry Archer to his birthday party." He had read through the invitation to make sure he wasn't giving the wrong information. Will would always be careful when it came to his master.Without even thinking about who Jerry Archer was, Marco already knew who the man was. He was a man from the oldest family living in Horizon Edge's city. And one of the things that made the family so famous was their wealth of billions. That is, they were a wealthy family and had many positions and assets. The man was so famous a
There was no doubt about how lavish the party Marco attended tonight was. People with branded clothes and exorbitant prices were present in their best versions. They were great people whose image was already known by many business people. In every outfit they wore, it was, of course, the work of the best designers as well as luxury boutiques that only catered to the manufacture of luxury clothing.Once Marco got there, he could see women in flowing dresses and glamor. The men wore exclusive suits with cheerful faces. There was no doubt how they prepared for this night, as everyone looked radiant and confident. They got out of the latest luxury cars.From the corner, Marco stood just as Will finished opening the car door for him. Marco watched with a very calm face how the people who had influence and also good positions seemed to familiarize themselves with each other with big smiles. Marco clearly knew who they were. Their faces were familiar from the internet as well as magazines an
The man with the black suit and the fresh look smiled from the podium. "I am very pleased to have you all here today." As sentence after sentence was spoken, Anita sighed with relief.The blue-eyed woman touched her chest and said, "Ah, I'm so lucky to be here right now." She smiled and continued, "By being here, I can advance my career and company."With an artificially sweet face, Anita said, "I'm fortunate to have such an understanding man." As it turned out, the sentence was meant to insinuate the man next to her, Marco.The woman then grinned. "This is why you should be in a good position." With the same sly smile, Anita tilted her body slightly to look at Marco and said, "Look, everyone here has an outstanding career, unlike you."Anita felt so happy that she had succeeded in mocking Marco, and he remained silent without replying. She was sure that Marco was now embarrassed and was lamenting his words and insinuations.Not long after, a man with light brown hair came over and imm
It was a small badge with a gold color all over it. Even though it was just a badge, Marco deliberately gave the item to Mr. Jerry.Unfortunately, not many people knew the meaning of the badge. So, when it was pointed out, people started whispering and talking about it impolitely. Like one of the women who had previously bought the gift of a seventy million dollar suit, who was now huffing and muttering, "Is he crazy to give such a piece of junk? Where's his face when he does something like this?""It's just an ordinary little badge that has no value. Isn't it wrong of Mr. Jerry to invite a poor man like him to his birthday party?" said a man sitting closest to the stage. Earlier, he had gifted her a pair of leather shoes imported directly from a distant country for over a hundred million dollars. And look how his eyes narrowed when he saw Marco's gift, which he considered to be of no value at all.People assumed that the badge must have been very expensive. It looked small and plain
Antonio shook his head in disbelief. The man chuckled and said, "No way, this must all be a trick." His eyes glanced lazily at Marco. "He's not the most honorable man, but the most despicable is possible.""Just so you know, this man you're praising is a poor man who lived off his wife during his marriage. His schooling was free of charge because he had no money. He went to school with taxes from the rich." Antonio would not waste this opportunity to reveal everything that sounded like a disgrace to him.Antonio's eyes now narrowed sarcastically at Marco, saying, "He doesn't even have anything and was dumped by his wife empty-handed. What do you see in him to say that? The man is just trash and comes here to try and enjoy expensive food and drinks that he's never tried in his life."Antonio now snorted. "Look in his wallet, does he have any money? I'm pretty sure he doesn't even have any money. How can you call a man with such qualities a gentleman?"All those taunts and insulting wor
