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
Once they finished their coffee and their conversation was over, Julius drove Selena back to her workplace. He already knew where Selena worked and was only a few blocks from this café. And sure enough, in less than fifteen minutes, they arrived at St. Lui's hospital, a large hospital that was one of the medical centres for the citizens of Pharae.Once in the parking lot, Julius went down with Selena to enter the hospital. The woman asked him to wait for a moment near the reception, where one of the nurses seemed to have just left and overlooked Selena, who had just returned.The nurse looked Julius up and down, which was a bit of a rude thing to do to a stranger. But then, she asked, "Hello, good afternoon. Can I help you?" she asked kindly. She wondered if Julius might be a family member of a patient being treated here.Julius nodded, "No need, I'm waiting for someone here. I have business with him," Julius said politely. The nurse frowned in confusion and stared at Julius for a lon
On a sweltering afternoon, a man dashed down the hospital hallway. His face was sweaty, and he was breathing heavily. Several times, he almost bumped into other patients, even nurses passing by during rush hour. He apologized several times before continuing to run with a very anxious face.Without stopping his pace, he opened the door of a room in the hospital. A young girl was lying with an oxygen tube in her nose. The man was now staggering and holding his sister's hand. He fell to the floor, kissing the back of the little girl's hand with a frustration that was hard to control."Sister, don't worry. I'll definitely get help for you soon. You'll be fine. I'll do everything in my power to get you up and back to laughing like normal," he whispered poignantly.That man was Austin Bekker, a man of many skills and abilities. His sister, Lauren Bekker, was a girl who was suffering from the malignant disease Leukemia stage three. And Austin doesn't have enough money to help his sister's wo
Austin Bekker sat in front of his laptop and other work tools on the table that morning. The atmosphere was so quiet that it felt suffocating and full of tension. Next to Austin, Julius sat with his arms crossed, watching his performance, as this was the man's first job when he decided to join the Luckystone family. And Austin had to do it under the direct supervision of Julius and Jeff.Austin's first task was to drop a program on a well-known company in Pharao. The man seemed to be fiddling with the screen in front of him with a severe face and said, "I've entered the security defence wall, Mr Julius." Even so, the man's hands never seemed to stand still, every detail he did giving its own effect to reach the core of his intrusion.Julius nodded, waiting for the results Austin would give him. The man let Austin move independently and do what he could to show Julius. A short time later, the man again said, "It's done, Mr. Julius." His eyes gazed at Julius after confirming he was done
On a sunny afternoon, Julius met up with his grandmother at her favorite park. They took a leisurely stroll while enjoying the view of the slowly setting sun, with Jeff walking behind while pushing the Great Lady Luckystone's wheelchair. The wind was cold enough that the grandmother had to pull her expensive knit cardigan up to keep warm.The woman looked up at Julius, looking up slightly as the taller Julius walked right next to her, "It feels like it's been so long since we've taken a walk together, we're not like other families." The woman spoke in a low voice, sounding a little regretful of that fact. The beautiful scenery ahead did nothing to dispel the uneasiness that suddenly settled in the Great Lady's heart. She had been thinking about many things, and one of them was Julius, her recently discovered grandson.Julius shook his head, "Not a problem, Grandmother. We're both busy, and have other interests that can't be left behind." He gives her a small smile, reassuring her tha
The sun had just risen a few hours ago. Julius and Haeden sat together on a park bench. Both of them sat quietly while enjoying the quietness of the park. But unfortunately, the tranquility they enjoyed had to end quickly. The sound of the ball hitting the ground repeatedly sounded quite loud, followed by the screeching sound of shoes rubbing the floor.Julius then leaned his body against the back of the garden chair, "It seems, I was so busy working, that I had nothing to think about. Now, I came here to have fun and let out all the things that have been lodged in my head."Julius then turned to Haeden, "And you, how are you? We haven't seen each other since the last business meeting two months ago." Julius wanted to know how his college friend who succeeded in managing the company was doing, not even forgetting Julius, an old friend who had rarely met due to their respective busy schedules. They were two people who had a lot of work to do and didn't have much time to relax.Hearing
