Julius has just returned from his business. Now, he stood outside another hotel, dressed to the nines. The man took in the surroundings that were bustling with guests dressed in their finest. Everything sparkled, and classy laughter filled the air. All along the garden path, there were dim lights with white lights. When viewed from a distance, it looked like fireflies flying in the dark garden. To put it bluntly, the outside of the hotel had been beautifully transformed with vines shaped in such a way. This was a famous company party that Julius had to attend as a guest. He had been invited to come and enjoy the party here. No one knew who Julius was, for he was a successful young businessman who was still new. His status was not well known. People only understood that every guest who came had an invitation. They were all chosen people who came because they knew the host or special invitations out of respect and reluctance. And Julius had been invited as someone who was respected. Ye
The women looked admiringly at the man they called a wealthy young man. Even Isabel, Jane's friend, who was wearing a dress with a high slit, seemed to be working on her makeup. She reapplied the powder as well as the blush lipstick. She checked her appearance in the mirror on her cell phone several times, making sure there was nothing flawed about her, which felt perfect.Isabel said, "We all need to look beautiful. Whoever catches the eye of that handsome man will be the queen among us." She said so excitedly. She even imagined that she would be the winner of the challenge. Her friends would cry tears of blood and recognize her beauty. Isabel was sure that he would come for her. No one could match her extraordinary beauty.Not only Isabel but even Maya and Merry immediately polished their faces with much thicker makeup. Luna even deliberately waved at the young CEO and smiled shyly. Although, in fact, their attention-seeking attitude was not at all glimpsed by the man, they still tr
The women glanced at each other's fabrics. Isabel even nudged the arm of Maya, who was also staring at the man who walked over. "Hey, he said lady, right? I said hello to him, didn't he hear?" she whispered confusedly.Maya nodded in agreement, "Yes, of course, he said hello to us. Who else would it be? It would be us!" Maya whispered optimistically. She was one hundred percent sure that the young CEO would be walking towards all of them. So, the women smiled and fixed their makeup."Well, look, he's getting closer. Let's smile. He's going to be so mesmerized!" Isabel squealed softly, her eyes seeming to sparkle with a wide smile that was actually quite terrifying. The woman's heart was already beating loudly, wondering who the CEO was going to greet. She couldn't have heard wrong. The rich man must have answered her greeting.They screeched at each other again, causing some of the guests to stare strangely in her direction. They reacted in an over-the-top and flashy manner. The women
And here, Arnold and Julius found themselves. Both stood amidst a small crowd, keeping a comfortable distance from one another. Each young man held a glass of wine in their hands, toasting lightly. Their conversation would soon unfold.After taking a sip of his drink, Julius remarked, "You've done a great job. With this, we can continue the collaboration we've been working on." Upon hearing Julius's words, Arnold couldn't help but feel delighted. He had not labored in vain, and he had proven himself to the esteemed man before him.Julius spoke again, "However, please don't reveal my identity as you did earlier or mention that I'm a funding supporter for this significant project." Julius issued a warning, as he preferred to keep his true identity a secret. The time had not yet come for him to step into the limelight.Arnold nodded in agreement, saying, "Of course, sir. I will remember it carefully and won't make the same mistake again. I'm truly grateful for your assistance, Mr. Julius
Julius was now back in his hotel room stretching. The one-hundred-and-eighty-tall man took off his expensive suit and placed it on the sofa. Julius now walked to the small bar table provided in the premium room he had rented. A glass of high-end wine was prepared to accompany Julius' evening.Julius looked up at the window and walked over. He pulled up a tall bar stool and sat down by the window to enjoy the night view of this beautiful city. As it turned out, the city of Neoma was no less beautiful than Pharae. Julius didn't regret coming here and renting the best unit in the five-star hotel.Julius sipped the wine in his hand slowly. His eyes looked up at the sky and saw the full moon that was rising beautifully. The moon tonight looked silvery, with stars scattered around it. No wonder the city of Neoma was so famous for its dazzling night view.Feeling a little sultry from the alcohol in his drink, Julius decided to call it a night. He quickly put his glass on the table and went t
Gerald was still stunned to see the manager greet Julius so politely. In fact, until Julius answered his greeting with, "Yes, good afternoon." The manager he had called earlier had not yet turned to him. He looked like someone much lower than Julius and seemed insignificant. It felt like Gerald's anger was getting worse. Everyone should be respectful to an older man like him.After a few seconds, the manager realized that Gerald was standing in front of Julius with his dog on a leash. The manager immediately smiled familiarly, "Ah, there you are, Mr. Gerald. What are you doing? Would you like to take your dog for a walk?" Seeing the little poodle running around Gerald's feet, the manager naturally assumed that the old man would take his dog for a walk. He simply didn't catch the look of anger that the man had been radiating from earlier. Frankly speaking, Gerald's wrinkled face made it difficult to distinguish whether the man was frowning or not.Hearing the manager's greeting that wa
Gerald's heart was racing rapidly. His gaze, which had looked so sharp earlier, now turned softer. The man was thinking hard if he had made trouble with a man with great power like Julius. His brain kept thinking, looking for a solution to his actions just now. In fact, because of Gerald's serious thinking, the man turned deathly pale.Gerald licked his dry lips and swallowed with difficulty. He was really worried that Julius would do something bad to him. Usually, people with money and power tended to do something really bad to get back at their opponents. And Gerald was frightened by his own thoughts. Moreover, Julius seemed so calm and even-tempered, and this made Gerald's bad thoughts even worse.Now, Gerald suddenly smiled kindly and looked at Julius more gently. The man cleared his throat, which felt so difficult to make a sound. "Ah, forgive me for my previous behavior, Mr. Julius. I'm just a stupid, senile old man. I often forget where I keep my dog and have even had it nearly
The shouting made everyone turn their heads quickly to look for each other. They were all shocked and felt like time had stopped. The ball was floating behind Julius and ready to hit his head. Not only that, if Julius did not immediately dodge, maybe the man would soon be thrown away because the kick was so strong.But as it turned out, their expectations and fears were all wrong. Julius managed to catch the ball with one hand and save his head but was almost kicked. Julius turned around and looked at the people holding his chest in shock. Yes, it was only natural; he would have been a victim if he didn't have good reflexes.Then, a man came running over. His face was full of sweat and a sense of shock that was so overwhelming, "Please give me the ball," said the man. And Julius immediately gave the ball to him. Sweat poured down the young man's face, he was breathing heavily, and his heart was beating strongly.Arnold took a deep breath, "I'm sorry about this, okay? Are you okay?" he
