"Have you heard the news about that woman?" a man with a calm and polite demeanour was speaking. He was watching the man smoking a cigar in front of him.The man leaned back in the chair. He seemed to be looking at the ceiling of the room. The room was neat with dark shades, and the curtains covered the windows so that the sunlight did not enter into this room.His eyes glanced over, responding to the words of the man who had just appeared. "It is fate that she is related to that man." He fixed his sitting position now. His body looked more prominent than before. A wound near his left neck was visible when he looked at the man before her."Fate is so funny, it's like the past isn't it my brother?" he asked with a smile. He looked at the miniature portrait at the far end of the room and went back to smoking his cigar with a long breath.Elsewhere, the quiet atmosphere didn't make much difference. Selena was fixing the hat she was wearing. The round hat with wide sides almost flew off i
Selena had just gotten off the boat with Aldrich. The wind made Selena's hair flutter, and she tucked her hair into her ears. Her head moved slightly just now, looking to the side, and her best friend had also gotten off the boat she was riding with the man she liked. Selena looked at Kate. Differently, she was more centred on Aldrich, though as she approached, she touched her friend's shoulder. "I saw what he did to you, he was pretty crazy." Kate half-whispered to Selena, it made her face blush.Selena was embarrassed to hear her friend's words, but she didn't want to let go of her friend just like that. "So, did you get what I got from Jun?" Selena, with a satisfied smile, had managed to get her best friend to shut up.Now, her expression was flat, staring. Selena knew that her friend was deliberately attacking her again."You can act romantic, Aldrich." Jun finally arrived near them. She was happy with her friend's development. From a robot-like figure who could not show her feel
On a calm morning, a man with a firm jaw had gotten into a car escorted by several people dressed in black. He was seen sitting calmly in the car while holding a document on his lap.The document was no longer read. He just put it down after reading it a few minutes ago. Now, from his seat, he was watching the scenery of the Metro City. People seemed to be less busy in this more exclusive place in the city.He had only a few minutes ago come out of his family's heavily guarded and carefully calculated home area."She's still asleep," Aldrich muttered a little. He tapped his fingers a few times on his lap while watching the scene outside.The murmurs were clearly audible, but even though the driver heard them, he didn't dare to speak up.Aldrich had plans today to take care of some things. He couldn't wait for Selena, who was still asleep. He left first because he didn't want to wake his wife.They entered an area with more vehicles. Even in the morning in the Metro city, people were a
Aldrich moved quickly. The critical meetings she was previously going to have were all postponed due to this matter. People had been briefed by people on Aldrich's side if they were not going to meet with him.Inside the building, the length of it was traversed with rapid footsteps as everyone lowered their heads to maintain their stance because of the strong sense of tension. The atmosphere around them made it impossible for them to move freely.Aldrich entered the room, a darkly lit space that would not reveal anything from the outside.Aldrich sat down in his chair. He looked straight at the man in front of him. Waiting for a cue, Jose immediately explained the meaning of his previous words."Master, their attack tactics are also different from mercenary attacks. Master Aldrich, it seems that the people in the dark world are also engaged in the business we are doing or related to Madam Selena." Jose did a quick investigation because he often dealt with people who attacked his Maste
The horse could be heard, whinnying as it galloped by Selena. Selena was very calm, she felt freer when riding her own horse, there were a few servants watching Selena from a distance. Yesi rode her horse. She was at the back, acting as the one who would look after Selena this time.She liked the wind that hit her body. Her eyesight became more apparent as she looked ahead."Aren't you going to come with her?" Cedric looked at his grandson, the two standing side by side in the large garden. Behind him was Sam, holding the wheelchair he was sitting in.Aldrich turned around and looked at his grandfather. "No, that would interfere with having a good time." Now Aldrich stepped back, and Cedric also moved away from the park towards the house."So I heard that you haven't been able to clear them all because this group is different from before. Do you have any thoughts on that?" Cedric asked, although he was not too close to his grandson, Aldrich could hear him.Aldrich's eyes were serious,
This was quite a different dinner, if there were only two people involved in this dinner then it would have been as cold as the ocean frozen by a massive mountain of snow. But because of Selena's warm and fuzzy side, the dining room became a little more lively."Grandpa, let me cut it." Selena was being sweet on the left side of Cedric, sitting at the head of the table.There were servants here who were ready to do anything for them, but the two men let Selena do what she wanted. Now she took the plate and cut the meat in front of her to make it suitable and easy for the man to chew.Aldrich drank his wine, watching his wife quietly. Selena didn't take long to cut the meat into small pieces."This is Grandpa." Selena was being friendly, she was still watching Cedric gently.Cedric nodded. "Thank you."They continued eating their food until, in the middle of eating, Cedric finally spoke. "I guess you've figured out that either your father is actually a mobster or your mother is a good
Selena spent her time in the place she had just gained access to. She read the various books there without realizing that time had passed quickly.She closed the thick book in front of her, clearly written records of the heads of families, and she stared at the thick writing with solemn eyes, especially later it would also be included in a book like this."I read the records regarding the knowledge of the previous family heads, it turns out that there are many things they did." Selena marveled at the long history of the Goldstein family.She finished the last book for today. Selena stood up and looked around her, where the robots around her were ready to help. They were reliable when even Aldrich's trusted servants couldn't enter this place.Selena smiled a little. "Today is over."She then walked out of the library that could be accessed by her. The entrance of the library was well hidden. Selena walked quietly in this place until she entered the house as usual. She saw several serva
Aldrich, with a calm and expressionless look as he stepped into the building, had drawn all the attention to him. The people there bowed, but did not necessarily respect the figure of the young man who had just entered.Then, a man amicably greeted him. He showed a calm smile. "Mr. Aldrich, thank you for being here. I can guarantee this will be an interesting conversation." Watson, who owns a company in the energy sector, has several businesses in other fields. He was the 8th richest man in the world.He was a bit like Jun, people who could be sweet-talking in dealing with others. Aldrich entered the meeting room between the leaders of the great families as an invitation because Aldrich also owns an energy company. As he entered, he could see several other family heads seated while accompanied by women.Aldrich sat down, his eyes looking calm, but observed them individually. There were 5 people in this room. Watson was the head of the family and had the highest position besides Aldric
