After all, Judy is not so sure about her feelings. While in fact, she hasn’t fully moved on from Diego’s death. She just acknowledges that Victor is a good man, just as what she already knows so far. And she believes there's nothing wrong in admiring someone. Meanwhile, Mrs. Emilia just secretly takes a glance, acting like she doesn’t notice anything odd between them. She just hopes there will be someone else to get into that elevator, so that she can be free from that awkward atmosphere. And then, the elevator stops on the 17th floor. A few other employees get in. And there is also Nancy there who is intending to go back to her office downstairs. “Oh, Victor! Going back home now?” she greets. “Yeah, what about you? Are you planning to work overtime again?” asks Victor as he finds Nancy still bringing some documents with her. “Well, I plan to.” “Why don’t you just ask someone else?” asks Victor. “It’s okay. I love my job,” she replies. And then, she gets closer to Victor as sh
It’s clear that Jimmy doesn’t know about Albert Wilson’s role in La Marca yet. And naively, he just shows his excitement in front of Gambino.He shows how interested he is with that issue. At last, he gets something serious and someone with great stature like Victor as a client to defend.“No way, did that kid do something to you at his wedding party?” he asks.“Well, he accused me of scamming in an auction. I believe Mr. Gambino also knows about this,” replies Victor.Suddenly, Officer Frank and Morgan leave their seats. Officer Frank puts his hand into his pocket intending to pay. But Victor immediately halts him.“Are you leaving? Why so hurry?”“Unlike you, lackeys like us are so busy, to make sure people like you can live with comfort in this town,” replies Frank coldly.“Then, allow me to treat you for your meals,” Victor offers as he starts rummaging through his trouser pocket.“Naah, we are good!” denies Frank and immediately pays the bill.Victor just smiles and puts his othe
Benigno’s face looks so pale, to hear that some people had tried to kill Victor with machine guns. It’s clear that he has seen Victor as part of his family, no matter how harsh his words when talking to him this whole time.“Um, hey! Gambino, brother! What’s all this about?” asks Benigno with an awry tone.But Gambino doesn’t say a word yet, and Victor gives an explanation to his ex-boss instead, knowing that fat Benigno is still showing his concern about him.“That Albert Wilson, the one who runs that big laundry company. His son embarrassed me in public with defamation. Because of that, I lost a few clients and business partners. And his dad wants me dead. For what? Is it for that 1 Million dollars that he lost because of his own son’s stupidity?”Meanwhile, Mike keeps observing Gambino intently while rocking his left leg with rigid movement. But he is not nervous. His face shows confidence, like he is so convinced with what Victor has said just now.After all, all of those words t
He even hits the wooden fence on the terrace once, and makes all the glass walls of that pizza shop shaken for a moment. On the other hand, Gambino tries to tolerate Willie’s impatience. He knows that Willie hasn’t learned the exact situation yet, because he hasn’t shared anything about Victor’s background to him. He himself has been trying his hardest to hold his composure in that meeting. “Please, reconsider this again. We are not in the position to meddle in your issue with that nightclub,” says Gambino. “Victor! I’m telling you! Gambino here has been trying all he can do to make sure everyone can live in peace,” Jimmy adds. Even Benigno also takes his part in trying to convince Victor, telling that Gambino has done so much to keep danger away from Judy this whole time. By bringing Judy’s name, he believes that he can persuade Victor somehow. “If Judy were here, I believe she would also ask the same thing to you,” Benigno closes his words. And indeed, it’s effective to change
It was Victor who asked all the top executives to hold a meeting, including a few people from the advertising and also the marketing department.He deliberately ignores the matter with the people who burned down his house, and puts the matter on Counterbrand as his first priority.Because of that, he didn't follow up that arsonist attack issue last night, despite the fact he already had some leads from Gambino.“I could just tell Vincenzo to look for them,” says Mike, right after they get to the parking area.“But we haven't done any rehearsal about this one. I’m not too…”But Mike immediately interrupts Victor’s words. “Dude, we are professional. Vincenzo can clear this mess even without any rehearsal.”Not wanting to distract his concentration for the next meeting, Vi
All eyes immediately averted to Judy, the same with Leonard who has been busy scratching his nose. And Judy, her throat is choked, and is unable to speak a word.She has tried her best to forget that nightmare. But now, everything resurfaces again. She backs off, and then stumbles on the floor. A second later, she just turns and runs away.“What the?” Viona mumbles in confusion.The same with Victor, who is also so confused with Judy's behavior. He becomes so worried, despite not understanding why Judy is acting that way.He just stares down at Leonard as he walks out of that room. Because he already noticed that Judy’s eyes were locked on that Mr. GM before running away from that conference room. As he finds Judy running toward the exit door, he fastens his steps.A small commotion occurs inside that conference room with those people’s murmurs.“What was that?”“Isn’t that the president’s new personal assistant?”“Yes, she has only been working for him since yesterday.”Meanwhile, Le
All eyes are averted to Leonard. And Leonard still isn’t able to lift his face. They look a bit disappointed, not expecting a professional like him to just ask to quit just because they are currently in a bad situation.“Please, Mr. Leonard Jackson. Lift your face. I hope you can give us reasonable arguments behind your sudden decision,” Viona continues.“No!” Victor suddenly interrupts her. “You don’t need to explain anything here. Leave this room. Just assume your resignation has been accepted.”Victor conveys his words with murderous eyes. It isn’t clear what’s inside his mind now. One thing for sure, he has no intention to just end that matter simply by kicking him out of Counterbrand.All four of the vice presidents avert their attention to Victor, looking a bit opposed to Victor’s decision. Viona tries to reason with him for a moment, because she still wants Leonard to cancel his intention.Their company is in trouble now. And Viona knows so well how hard it is for her to look f
Viona holds her head with both hands. She then starts pacing around aimlessly in confusion.She has known Victor since they were still kids in the orphanage. She never knew that Victor had a sister.“How? Is this why Charles told you to move to Indiana?” she asks.Victor shakes his head. He then explains it as he keeps looking down to the floor.“Charles never told me to leave the orphanage. I was looking for her after I heard she ran away from her foster parents’ house. I was the one who wanted to move to Indiana, as soon as I learned she was living here.”“Is that why you suddenly disappeared six years ago? To look for her?” asks Viona again.Victor nods weekly. “I stalked her for a while before deciding to enter Purdue University,” he continues.“Shit! You should have told me,” Viona grumbles. “Everyone in the orphanage was worried to learn that you suddenly disappeared. The kids were crying for days, you know, thinking that you were abandoning them.”Victor is suddenly chuckled a
