"Are you okay?" asked Julius after the two thugs left. Both of them ran as fast as they could to avoid Julius. In fact, Julius had no intention of chasing or beating them back. But both were scared to death and ran away on shaky legs.Chintya nodded. She was fine. Those two guys were just teasing her without touching her. If that had happened, she would have screamed earlier. It was a good thing that Julius was there to protect her. Otherwise, Chintya didn't know what would have happened.Julius nodded, "Alright, I'll take you home," Julius said finally. Chintya didn't say much. She was still amazed by what Julius had done before. The man looked much more charming with his appearance now. He was even bolder than when they were still in school. Chintya couldn't help but be mesmerized.By now, they had arrived in front of Chintya's house. The woman exited the car and stood beside Julius, waiting for him to get off. Then, she smiled at him, "Thank you for driving me. I really enjoyed tod
Julius checked the invitation on his tablet carefully. It was an exclusive invitation to a movie premiere event that would be held tonight. Julius had never been to an event like this, so there was no problem if he wanted to come and have a look. Julius was ready with his car and suit. He smoothed his hair for a moment before getting out and feeling dumbstruck for a moment. It is a multi-storey building with spotlights aimed at every corner without exception.People seemed to be busy with their looks. Even some big stars seemed to be attending this big event. They wore their best outfits and walked gracefully on the red carpet. And the hounds of the event immediately showered them with dazzling camera flash shots without wanting to miss a moment. This made the premiere even more sparkling with the stars.Julius walked into the building and looked around. He could see all the great people who had come here talking to each other. They wore neat suits and smelled good. Julius could even
Ronald took a deep breath. The man smiled back as if he had never heard the hurtful words. "Maybe you didn't know me before. My name is Ronald Xavier, I'm the director of the movie 'The Roar' and I'm pleased to meet you here," he said confidently.But again, no one cared about him. People looked away and talked to each other. His voice seemed drowned out by the small talk and just became a breeze. The man stared at them, hoping they would turn their heads and hear him speak.Julius had been glancing at him for a while now and had seen changes in the man's expression. And this time, Ronald still looked as excited as before. He didn't look disappointed or discouraged. Even when the director and his other colleagues were laughing and moving to turn their backs on him. He was clearly being blatantly ignored.Realizing that he was now losing attention, Ronald spoke up again, "Excuse me, I-" The man had not even finished his sentence when his body was roughly pushed by the woman who had bee
Ronald's enthusiastic face suddenly clouded over. The man looked anxious and lost for words. "Twice?" he asked, repeating Julius' words in disbelief. Was Julius just mocking and playing around? Maybe he didn't mean what he said, right?Julius nodded confidently. Now, he straightened his back and looked at Ronald seriously. Both hands clasped to his chest, "Why, are you scared?" He was clearly challenging Ronald to go beyond his comfort zone. The money Julius had given him would make him think twice about accepting it. Unless he was confident in what he was doing and how it would turn out.Ronald looked down. He was thinking hard about how risky Julius' offer was. Twice, the investment the man had made was not a small amount. Moreover, he was still relatively new despite having worked on several movies. Her movies got good ratings, even though not many people watched them. Because his name must have lost the competition with the name of the producer who had gone global. Julius looked
One week later, Jeff came into Julius' office with a tablet. The man bowed politely, before addressing his master, "Good morning, Master Julius. I received a financial report from someone claiming to be Ronald Xavier."Julius stopped his work for a moment. He turned to Jeff and seemed to think for a while. From the look on his face, Jeff knew that Julius wanted to hear the report sent by the man. So, Jeff quickly opened the tablet in his hand, "Mr. Ronald will be starting his film project in one week. He needs some things to help him on location. Like the fees for the contract with the actress and also the properties."Julius nodded, this time refocusing on his pending work. "Yeah, you can take care of everything, right?" Julius said. The man's hands seemed to be scrolling through the pages on the tablet used to handle work. Julius didn't need to bother with Ronald's report. Jeff would get it done. Jeff was such a competent waiter and had so much experience. Something like this would
Julius glanced at his neighbor Gerry with a disinterested look. Instead, he looked back at the farmer, who also gave him his full attention, "Madam can sell this land to me. I can give you a fair and market price. You deserve a higher price. After all, I quite like this land."Julius looked around, "The land is well-lit and fertile soil. It's not blocked by tall buildings or other such intrusions. You take excellent care of it." The way Julius negotiated with Gerry was very different. Julius used a very polite tone of voice, unlike Gerry, who did not hesitate to yell at the woman in front of him. This certainly affected the mind of the woman who had no intention of selling the land.Yes, the woman seemed to be swept away by Julius' words. For the farmer, the man was looking at his land very carefully. What Julius said was the truth. Theman took excellent care of the land. The crops never failed and always yielded a bountiful harvest."Besides, if sir is willing to sell this land to me
Julius took a deep breath and looked down at his clothes, which were now even dirtier. The previous stain had not disappeared, but a new one had appeared. Julius moved backward as he wiped the wet mud off his clothes. Apparently, he had to take a shower after returning from here.Julius looked at Gerry, still clenching angrily, "Gerry, you shouldn't feel angry. You guys haven't done any deal before. Besides, the price you offered was unreasonable. You cheated him big time." He tried to explain that what Julius had done was not a crime. Gerry had also bought the land for too low a price. The woman who owned the land would lose money if she complied.Gerry walked forward. He wanted to punch Julius in the face, who was very annoying to him. But Julius remained calm. He looked at Gerry without being affected, "This means that anyone can still make an offer, as long as you have not agreed and made the sale and purchase process." Julius knew he was doing the right thing. One million dollar
At Julius' words, the farmer stopped and pulled his hand away from Gerry's suitcase. He looked at Julius impatiently, "I really need this money. If you really have the amount you are offering, show it to me quickly so I can be sure you are not deceiving me."The woman looked behind Julius's back, trying to see if he had anything with him, but to no avail. And that annoyed him even more, "You didn't even bring your suitcase. You'll cost me a lot more if you're just playing around."The farmer even rubbed his face, his head dizzy from thinking, "I might accept this gentleman's offer if you can't show me your money right now." The woman had no other choice. He needed the money immediately. If Julius was just playing games and deceiving her, He would lose everything instantly.Gerry smiled broadly, "Well, you've made the right decision!" he shouted. He felt he had won and defeated Julius. This land would soon change hands and become his. Julius wouldn't be able to do anything once they si
