Once they had cleaned up, Marco and Wilson sat across from each other with two glasses of tea on the table. Marco savored every sip of the tea he ordered with its soothing chamomile aroma. Even the warm smoke still filled the room.Wilson lowered her head slightly and stole a shy glance at Marco. The woman tucked her hair behind her ear. Her face reddened slightly as she accidentally recalled what she had done to Marco last night. It felt like Wilson's face was getting hot, and she was at a loss for what to do.Marco certainly noticed that Wilson was more silent than usual. "Already, it's better to forget what happened last night." She didn't like the awkwardness between them either. Since both of them were coworkers, it would not be pleasant to continue to be trapped in a situation like this. Yes, despite the fact that he also did not expect that something like last night would happen because it was very embarrassing.Wilson gave a slight nod, although the uncomfortable feeling stil
"Yes, we can probably have coffee together next time," Isabella said as Marco said goodbye to leave. Marco gave a slight nod and stood up to leave. But apparently, Isabella didn't want that yet.The woman in the floral dress that covered her knees held Marco's hand and looked at him curiously. "This is the first time I've seen a man like you."The two were now staring at each other. "Should I feel proud of that?" Although the tone Marco said sounded like a question, obviously, the man did not need an answer.Isabella, of course, immediately smiled when she heard Marco's answer. The woman lowered her head slightly to avert her eyes from constantly staring at Marco. Finally, she looked back at the face of the man in front of her.To be honest, this is not a common occurrence. Isabella often gets unpleasant treatment because of her beautiful face. Although beauty is a gift, sometimes beauty can also get her into trouble. Some of the calls were mischievous and teasing, even harassing, no
Without turning around to look at Jeremy's face, Marco stood where he was while adjusting his breathing and intonation. "Do you know that what you said was very dangerous?" His tone sounded like a threat. Jeremy could feel it even though Marco had not turned towards him.At that moment, Marco turned around with a serious face. Stared at Jeremiah without blinking, let alone trembling. "You shouldn't say things like that." Slowly, Marco walked closer. The man took such a slow and steady pace that he deliberately made every second more terrifying for Jeremy. And now, he stood before Jeremy, staring at him with a flame in his eyes. The man was still incensed by Marco's retaliation for his evil deeds. And now, Marco leaned in and locked his gaze onto Jeremy's eyes. "Moreover, this is about human life. You should have thought better of it. This time, I will forgive you. But not next time."But what Marco said only made Jeremy even more upset. His hands were clenched, and he growled. "I do
At first, Isabella was afraid Marco would get bad and unpleasant treatment from the two men who didn't know where he came from. Moreover, Marco was only alone, and Jeremy, known to be very pushy, came with his rude friend, Niel. he would have a bad experience today, and Isabella would not be able to see it.But apparently, her guess was wrong. Isabella even had to shut her mouth when she saw Marco put up a fight. Whether in terms of strength or intelligence. How could that man be calm and retaliate against Jeremy and Niel's inappropriate treatment? It feels like Isabella is becoming more and more fascinated by the man.Especially when Jeremy shouted while sitting on the ground and holding his stomach, the man's face looked so red. Isabella couldn't guess whether it was because he was embarrassed that his arrogance was exposed or angry. After all, he felt he had been defeated.Marco himself smiled in the face of Jeremy's anger. "Why are you yelling? "You can't beat me?" he asked with a
Marco had just stopped his car when a call came into his cell phone. The man saw Will's name appear on the flat screen, and he quickly picked it up. With one touch, the call was connected. From the other side of the line, he heard Will greeting him in a friendly manner. "Good afternoon, master. I have information regarding the Raven family you are in conflict with."Marco listened carefully and nodded. He looked around and noticed a building that looked familiar to his eyes. The man then heard Will's voice again. "As Master instructed, we have forwarded the information regarding his second son, who committed an unpleasant act, and they have now made up their minds."Marco was still listening to the information from Will while staring at the gate, where a car seemed to be entering. Marco drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, debating whether to enter. The gate was guarded by a tall security guard with a hat on his head. On it, right in the center of the gate, was written the name
Richard looked at Marco and shook his head uneasily. The man played with his hands on the table and repeatedly looked at Marco hesitantly. The man could feel the sweat beading on his hands from nerves. He even rubbed his ears, making sure that he had not misheard what Marco had just said. Something seemed wrong, and Richard had to find out what it was. With a face still full of confusion, Richard tried to speak more sweetly to Marco. "Sir, if I may know, why are you not channelling help to us?" How could Richard just let go of someone who would provide help for this pathetic school? He would get Marco again and make him willing to donate.He licked his lips nervously. "Our school distributes aid and builds facilities in the school. We always do our best with every donation that comes our way." Richard thought this was something that would usually work to attract donors. She had practised this for a while, and usually, people would rethink it before ending up donating.But Marco himse
Upon hearing the words of Marco, who turned out to be an alumnus of this school, Richard suddenly smiled. Anyone would know that this school was just a poor school that didn't have much of a budget. Even the students are also made up of students who don't have wealth. No rich person's child would want to go to an ugly place like this. They will feel humiliated for the rest of their lives. Moreover, the facilities were also poor. The teachers were old and might die soon.Richard then chuckled a little, his eyes seeming to shine slyly. "No wonder you know about this miserable place. You're a graduate, too." He shook his head, laughing at whatever was going through his head. A lousy man coming in and claiming to provide help was ridiculous to him."If you only graduated here, you're like the rest." He snorted, then leaned back and gave Marco a dismissive look. "You're just a poor person. You shouldn't act like one. "You have nothing to be proud of."With a mocking and uncaring tone, Rich
Marco glanced at Liona with a worried look. He could see that the elderly teacher was trembling, and her hands repeatedly squeezed the hem of her shirt. There was something terrible going on here. And Richard might have done something so wrong that Liona became like that.Even when talking to him, Liona lowered her head and did not dare to look at Richard, who was still staring at the two of them. "You just calm down. I can take the appropriate measures to deal with her," Marco said, trying to calm Liona down. However, Marco knew that the woman must be even more scared because she couldn't do much with her current body. So, the only way here was to calm her down and make her believe and think positively.But apparently, Richard's impact still made the woman scared and unsure of Marco. She leaned closer to Marco and whispered, "He has his minions."Marco heard this and nodded. He smiled slightly, then looked at Liona, who looked down in fear. "Take it easy, everything will be fine. "Tr
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
