But Alex makes a quick judgment, knocking Darnel away, and steps on the gun at the same time to prevent Harry from picking it.
“Don’t ever think about killing him,” warns Alex as he flaps his hanky before using it to pick the gun. “He still has your money. If you kill him, you will lose all of them. And you will only get into more trouble to cover your crime.”
The thing is, Harry’s face is still looking so pale. He is now considering Darnel, the trusted right hand, as a serious threat to his life. His instinct tells him that he needs to erase that threat while he has the chance.
He knows Alex’s warning is a reasonable one. However, he still coldly asks for the gun from him.
Oddly, Alex nonchalantly gives the gun to Harry without showing so much concern anymore.
“At least, I’ve warned you,” h
“Hey!” calls Harry, making Darnel startles right on the door. “Don’t forget, you still owe me 4 million dollars.”Darnel only glances a bit to the back, only for a moment, before he really takes his leave without saying anything.A moment later, Harry notices the wet part on his carpet because of Darnel’s urine. It only makes him regret not hitting that man’s face for the last time before he left. He then averts his attention back to Alex with a tired face before getting back to his chair.“Just two days since I hired you, and look at what has happened here!”“Honestly, I asked for your financial report with the intention only to use it as a start, before investigating what’s wrong with your way of conducting your business. I didn’t expect the issue was really there, exactly in that financial report. You can say that I was lucky to notice it,” explains Alex.“Doing it in just a day is not lucky,” Harry compliments.“Well, I planned to do it for a week, at least expecting 750 Grands fr
Sofia sighs once, and her facial expression immediately turns so sour. She then turns away, heading to her desk to pick some documents, and then walks out of that office. “I have a serious meeting right now. Can’t we postpone this issue for later?” That change of attitude from Sofia makes Dylan even more annoyed. To make things even more annoying to him, she deliberately prevents him from joining the meeting. “Why are you still following me?” “You said we have a meeting.” “I have a meeting, not you!” argues Sofia. “Now, why don’t you get back to your office. I mean, not your office, but my office that you currently take for the moment.” “What’s this? Are you dissing me out now? After kicking your husband, you are going to throw me away? And what’s next? My mom and my sister?” “Hey, h
Meanwhile, Alex himself is right in front of that office at the moment, intending to salvage his marriage with Sofia for the sake of their daughter.He still has no proof of his innocence regarding the slander that was accused of him. He just hopes he could convince Sofia, as he believes this is just a misunderstanding. But sadly…“Please, Mr. Davis! We really can’t let you in,” says one of the security guards.Alex scrunches his face with that treatment. On the other hand, he sees an outsider has just come, and is casually walking into the lobby. Yet those guards don’t even care at all.“What the…” mumbles Alex confusedly. “Hey! I know I’m no longer your boss, but, what’s with this treatment? You let that man in, but not me?”“The order was only to not let you get into the lobby. I beg of you, Sir! It’s not easy for me to treat you this way. So please, don’t force me to do any worse than this.”Alex steps back with a dissatisfied face. However, he feels not so right to push his way,
The Kindergarten Principal begins to look so awry. She doesn’t expect that situation would lead to the police. “Is that even needed?” “Of course! That man has kidnapped my granddaughter! You shouldn’t have let a stranger take the kid out without the parents’ permission! If something serious happens, you have to take responsibility,” threatens Georgina as she waits for the phone to be answered. “But I know he is Elly’s father. You can’t blame me for letting the kid’s father take her out,” argues the Kindergarten Principal. But Georgina doesn’t say a word anymore. She just keeps her hateful gaze as she holds the phone in her left ear. [Yes, Mam! May I know your problem?] “There’s a kidnapping. Someone has kidnapped my granddaughter from the kindergarten.” *** Meanwhile, the kid’s mother, Sofia Vega, is still trying to ignore Alex’s strong influence in her company. She is still annoyed and upset, but she admits that Alex was indeed a great leader, and it’s normal for him to leave
That old lady calls the cops and tells them about Alex trying to kidnap Elly. She even tells them that Alex has been banned by the court from getting near the family, especially from Elly and Sofia. “We’ve given him a warning! Yet he still dared to take out my granddaughter without any permission from the kid’s mother,” explains Georgina impatiently. Immediately, the cops hold Alex’s hand and then pin him onto the car, and asks for his ID. “No, you can’t just hold me without knowing the situation,” Alex retaliates. “Are you two amateurs? In case of accusation, it is the accuser’s responsibility to bring their evidence. I don't have any obligation to show you my ID. Why not ask her first whether she really has any valid evidence for her arguments.” “Sorry, Sir! You can explain your situation later in the office!” says one of the cops. “Sir, please! This is just a misunderstanding,” Alex pleads. “She is giving false testimony! I did divorce with my wife a few days ago, but I never
As Evelyn turns around, Sofia gets the chance to see her melancholy gloomy face. And there she thinks that the closest friend might also have an affair with her ex-husband too.She feels like she has been betrayed. But on the other hand, she knows that she no longer has anything to do with Alex, and it’s not her right to be so upset. But still, she finds it hard to ignore the absurd jealousy she feels in her heart.Without thinking much, she just tells the driver to leave before Evelyn notices the car.“Elliot! Take me back to the office!” she issues.“Mam! What about your daughter?” asks the driver as he starts the car.“I believe my aunt has taken her back home.”The driver turns the car heading back to Vintage Vega main office. Meanwhile, Alex is escorting Evelyn back to her car.
The few employees who happen to be also there in the elevator just glance at Dylan secretly. Of course, they don’t know what issue he currently has.But they misunderstand that maybe there are other employees who invite his annoyance, and it makes them so uncomfortable to be in the same elevator as him. It’s no longer a secret anymore. Wherever this boss’ cousin walks around this company, he will always spread the menacing aura to all the employees around him.As he walks down the hallway on the top floor, he gets the chance to see the situation inside Evelyn’s office, whose door is still wide open. Somehow, he believes that Evelyn is just like the other employees in supporting Alex, and he never likes her.He gets in, and notices Evelyn’s 5 years-old-daughter is also there. And immediately, he puts on his cold arrogant face, and barks at them.&l
Regardless of how malevolent or wicked a person may be, the longing to perform good deeds and be seen as virtuous persists within. At the very least, contributing positively to our own lives and the lives of those around us, we know we have the right to do so. Sofia Vega is no exception. She acknowledges that her aunt once had grievances with her late father. Yet, regardless of the severity of their disputes, she remains committed to benevolence towards her aunt and family. Endowed with substantial wealth, her eagerness to uplift Georgina and her children's lives is palpable. It's an obligation stemming from her appreciation for the life she leads. She used to believe, when she does good things, then good things will also come back to her. But lately, doubts have begun to creep in her heart. “Tell me, Kylie!” Sofia queries her secretary while gazing at her father's portrait in the office. “Am I not justified in showing kindness to my own family?” Kylie briefly ponders, contemplati
