After the morning debate in the company lobby, Julius and Sean went to work in their office. A wide room with a partitioned desk filled with computer screens and files on each side.It wasn't until a few hours later that the lunch break arrived. Sean sat next to Julius, who had just finished his lunch. The man sighed tiredly, "Are you thinking the same thing as me, that this company is extraordinary."Julius turned his head, waiting for Sean to finish what he was sure he hadn't finished. And sure enough, Sean turned around and spoke back to Julius in a lowered voice, "Apparently, the woman who came in with us earlier has no skills." He whispered and glanced around to ensure no one had heard their conversation.Julius frowned, looking at Sean with a questioning face. Sean cleared his throat and pointed to a table in the corner of the cafeteria, where Sofia, the new employee who had come in with them earlier, was sitting with her cell phone in her hand.Seeing Julius' expression questio
Julius sat quietly on one of the chairs in the office pantry. He watched Sean stirring the coffee with the hot water that had just boiled. The man's face looked very grim and thoughtful. He almost put the wrong amount of salt in his drink before realizing and replacing it with sugar. Then, when he was sure the drink was sweet, he brought the coffee over to Julius and handed it over."Sorry, huh? Your salary got cut because of me," he regretted with a haggard face. The man looked down profoundly and stared at his coffee cup, "I had no idea that a big company like this could be so cruel." He received a pay cut on his second day of work, which was very disheartening. Considering this was the only job he had. And Sean had worked so hard to get in and work here. Until Julius had to pay him five thousand dollars, which he didn't have.Sean sighed long, "I'm delighted to work for a company like this. The pay is high, and I can send money to my mom back home." Sean's eyes seemed to stare blan
The next day, Julius and Sean returned to work. They both entered the company lobby with only a tiny greeting to each other before stopping because there was a crowd there. They could both see Richard and Sofia standing at the front and staring at all the employees. I don't know the occasion, but they followed the waiting people.The manager waved a hand to get the attention of the people who were still whispering curiously to each other. He smiled kindly before finding Julius and Sean, who had just arrived, and his face immediately turned annoyed. Richard then ignored their arrival and began to say, "Today, we will have a very important person who has a very high position in this company. So, don't let me embarrass you by acting disrespectful and bringing down my pride."Richard then pointed at all the employees standing in a row in front of the lobby with his forefinger, "And all of you, please do your best. And remember!" Richard deliberately paused his speech and tapped his head to
Everyone there was naturally surprised by the presence of someone who was now turning towards them. Their eyes widened with open mouths. Even Sean jumped back because he didn't expect this to happen.The man rubbed his eyes to ensure he was not mistaken once again. And sure enough, there in front of him was Julius, who came to work with Sean and entered a few days ago.Sofia, who felt she had been played, immediately shouted, "Hey, you insolent man! What are you doing there?" She moved forward with the loud tapping of her high heels in the room. Her face turned bright red, finding Julius, who she considered a lowly man, sitting in the seat of her lover's pride. Moreover, she had to run earlier when she heard someone important had come here. But as it turned out, there was only Julius. The annoying man who sat with Sean right in front of him.Richard, of course, was no less furious with Sofia, the man also came forward and stood beside his lover and pointed at Julius, "Damn it, who do
"Why does it have to be like that?" asked Julius defiantly. He looked down at the self-centered man. He was very confident and never looked at his surroundings. Richard would assume everything was okay if he didn't get into trouble. Julius was sure this narcissistic man thought the world would only center and pay attention to him, not others. Other people around him will only be considered unimportant and not a problem if eliminated. He is the person who only saves himself if there is a problem and can scapegoat others to save himself.Richard then clenched his fist confidently, "I've worked hard all this time to move the company forward. Just because of one small problem, you want to fire me? That's so unfair!" he protested in a steady voice. Richard thought he had worked hard, and because of some problems, he didn't want to be kicked out of there. Where would he put his face if that happened?"And Sofia got in here, not because of nepotism, but because she has the skills! She deserv
Meanwhile, several people gathered in the living room at Richard's residence. One of them, the host and his girlfriend, Sofia, stood in the centre of the room with an irritated look. She slammed her coat on the table and cursed Julius in a high tone, "Damn Julius!"Richard's hands could not stay. Still, he continued squeezing his fingers to vent his frustration, "I will not remain silent; I will avenge him until I am satisfied!" he decided, still angry. Sofia, who had now switched to sitting on one of the sofas, looked sullen and supported her chin with one hand. She felt she had been humiliated and trampled on by the company's new leader. In fact, Sofia had tried to persuade Richard to bring her into the company and get a position. Now, she had to start again and apply for jobs. She really can't just let this happen. She also wanted to retaliate and teach Julius a lesson. They would regret having kicked him out of there.Richard's angry face turned smug as he remembered he had somet
Julius is now sitting in his office. He was going through some documents before the phone call rang. Julius caught a glimpse of the contact name of the person calling him, which turned out to be his grandmother, the Great Lady of the Luckystone family.Julius immediately put the file he was holding onto the table and picked up his cell phone, "Good afternoon, Grandma. Are you all right?" he greeted her kindly. Julius now stood up from his chair and went to the office window. He looked out at the scorching heat outside, and the other high-rise buildings seemed to reflect the sunlight off each glass.There was a short sigh from the Big Lady on the other end of the line, "I'm fine, Julius. But I hear you're taking over the helm at the frozen food company?" The grandmother's voice sounded waiting, and Julius nodded from there.Julius said again, "There are some things I need to do," he explained. His gaze was still directed towards the other high-rise buildings, ranging from the smallest
Julius was naturally surprised by what she said. Julius had never experienced anything like this before, especially since she was now looking at him with flirtatious eyes. Although she looked quite beautiful, especially since she had a tall body and a sweet smile, Julius still felt uncomfortable.Julius tried to be calm and say something, but the woman held him back by holding Julius' hand tightly, "My name is Catherine. You are really handsome, and you are my type. So, can you give me your cell phone number? I'm sure you'd be interested in getting closer to me."Julius tried to pull his hand away from her, but she held on tighter. So, Julius explained more quietly, "I can't give my cell phone number to just anyone."But apparently, Julius' refusal didn't make the woman realize herself and back away. Instead, she stared at Julius intently and confidently. Both her hands grasped Julius' hand tightly and squeezed it slightly, "Don't talk like that!" The woman chuckled and continued, "I
