The sound of laughter could be heard when Marcel arrived at Delvino's house. He had wanted to enter through the front door, so he decided to turn around and enter through the backyard.Shirley had always warned Marcel not to show himself when her friends came to visit."I want to build a perfect image in front of my friends, and I always tell them that my husband is a busy businessman who comes home every three months." That's what Shirley said every time Marcel protested her behavior.Unfortunately, Ronnie was sitting at the table enjoying a cup of coffee. Shirley's eldest brother turned his head when Marcel appeared in the kitchen."You didn't come through the front door, did you?" Ronnie asked in a probing tone."I came through the back door," Marcel replied flatly."It's good that you know yourself," Ronnie said with a sardonic smile. "By the way, doesn't the waitressing job pay enough to support my sister?" asked Ronnie again as Marcel washed his hands in the sink."It should be
"What?" Marcel narrowed his eyes. "How can you be so sure?"Aldi nodded calmly."I looked hard for you," he said, exhaling heavily. "I'm on the same frequency as your parents when it comes to scientific research in order to improve the lives of mankind."Marcel was pensive for a long time, forcing his brain to come to terms with what Aldi was explaining."I think you have the wrong person, sir." He shook his head. "Growing up, I didn't even know what my parents did in the lab. So I'm just continuing what my parents started."Aldi didn't comment."I'm Marcel, not a medicine man or a businessman like you think." Marcel took out his wallet and showed Aldi his identity card. "I'm a business graduate who even only works at a grocery store because my wife's family doesn't want me to work at the company ...."Marcel then placed the file Aldi had given him on the table.Aldi looked at the file on the table, then looked at Marcel."You are the right partner," Aldi said with the same confidence
"Where's Shirley?" asked Ciko when Marcel arrived home."Didn't she tell you?" said Marcel as he opened his jacket."If Shirley told me, why would I ask you?" said Ciko with the water hose held up to Marcel's face."She's on holiday," Marcel replied matter-of-factly. "But I don't know where she's holidaying and with whom."Ciko nodded."Wash my car," he ordered. "I took it to the beach yesterday and it got rained on. You wash it again, and then you can eat."Marcel, still tired from work, looked at his brother-in-law and prepared to refuse."What?" challenged Ciko, who noticed Marcel's rejection."I just got back from work, at least let me drink first." Marcel tried to bargain."Who are you to bargain now?" scolded Ciko as he whipped Marcel's arm with the hose."It's not like that ..." Marcel pretended to grimace in pain. "Mr Aldi has been contacting me for the past few days and I feel like someone is following me ... That's why I need to get home quickly."Ciko's face immediately frow
Since his parents' house was terrorized, Ronnie has been so busy that he no longer has time to disturb Marcel's peace.Marcel took advantage of this to dig deeper into Venya's knowledge of medicine."So basically I have to understand the nature of each element to be able to produce the desired formula?" Marcel asked in conclusion. That afternoon, he had deliberately asked Venya to teach him to make a simple potion."Yes, but it's not that simple either." Venya nodded. "It all has to be complemented with patience because usually the formula we want doesn't just come together in one try. Sometimes we have to make different formulas many times until we know which one works best.""So what do I need to learn again?" asked Marcel more specifically. "I want to change my life, and also claim what is rightfully mine."Venya smiled at Marcel's words.Marcel himself needed a few days to be ignorant about whether he was smart enough to take in all the information.What was certain was that whate
Marcel didn't answer immediately, his mind so full that it was difficult for him to decide immediately."What else would you like to consider, Sir?" said Fandi again."Actually, I have nothing to consider," said Marcel."Then?" asked Fandi, not understanding. "About the cooperation with Mr Aldi, didn't you agree to it?"Marcel turned to look at Fandi."I can't just agree to Mr Aldi's visit to my lab," said Marcel. "I also don't want people to find out about this collaboration too soon, especially my wife's family."Fandi nodded his head, while Marcel chose not to go too far."I don't know what you're planning to do with your wife's family, but you should immediately respond to Mr Aldi's request to come visit your lab.""Please tell Mr Aldi to be patient for a while," Marcel said calmly. "I'm not sure when, but it's in my best interest to protect the lab from the curiosity of my wife's family."Fandi smiled briefly when he heard Marcel's explanation."I understand," he agreed. "I'm jus
A few hours after that, Marcel came back to his father-in-law's core house. Predictably, Herman was furious with the decision Marcel had made."You intend to destroy our agreement, huh?" Herman asked angrily."Our agreement is already broken, that's why I can no longer bear to stay with Shirley." Marcel commented calmly."So why did you leave this house, why?" Herman asked."Shirley is cheating on me," Marcel replied briefly.Herman frowned in disbelief."Come back now, this agreement can still be fixed." He said firmly. "Don't complicate your life anymore.""I'm just here to tell you that I'm going to find the funds to pay the debt," Marcel said simply. "So you don't have to force me and Shirley's marriage anymore."Herman exhaled loudly."You think it's that easy?" he snapped. "Never mind, you'd better go to Shirley and apologize now."Marcel shook his head firmly."I'll prove it to Dad," he said flatly, after which he excused himself to leave Herman's core house.Once in the lab, M
Ronnie's face turned bright red when Marcel reminded him of the challenge."You doubt this company's ability?" asked Ciko angrily. "Who do you think you are!"As he said that, Ciko observed Marcel and realized that his brother-in-law's appearance had changed considerably.Marcel, who used to wear a collared shirt typical of the uniform of the shop where he worked, was now wearing a formal suit like himself, with a silver watch around his wrist.Ciko, who likes to collect watches, clearly knew that the watch Marcel was wearing wasn't cheap."You've been promoted," Ciko commented sarcastically. "Director of the shop?"Ronnie snorted with suppressed laughter."I see," Marcel said calmly. "So what do you say, are you brave enough?""I'm not willing to bow down at your feet, unclean." Ciko scoffed, and Ronnie was astonished that Marcel could still take the insult in stride."Well, you have a fear of your parents' company failing, don't you?" Marcel said flatly, but it struck a chord with C
"You have to hide!" Venya exclaimed under her breath as she stood up."Why would I hide?" asked Marcel in surprise. "The door is locked by the system."Venya didn't answer immediately, but her eyes were alert and worried."What's wrong, Venya?" asked Marcel curiously."I can't explain right now, Marcel ..." Venya replied apologetically. "Just hide first ...."Marcel was silent and no longer pressed Venya, despite wanting to know what was going on.The focus of the two of them was now completely distracted by the conversation heard outside."Open the door!""Call Marcel!""Why, we should have the right to enter here!""Whoever opens the door!"Marcel and Venya looked at each other."How about this?""Don't open the door.""Then what are you going to do?""I don't know, they won't back down." Venya tried to calm down. "Or I should meet them ....""What for?"A moment later, Marcel heard the sound of a hard object being slammed."Do we need to get out now?" whispered Marcel, the lab abou
