As dinner progressed, Herman occasionally asked Marcel questions.

"Where do you work now, Marcel?"

"Still at the small shop, Dad." Marcel replied simply. "If it's just this house, I won't make any money."

Across the table, Ronnie shared a look with Shirley. It was the first time Marcel had been allowed to eat at the same table with their family.

"Oh yeah?" responded Herman incredulously. "Didn't you decide to resume the lab? I thought you were busy there, but maybe you forgot your obligation to help with the housekeeping work here ...."

Herman stopped his speech when Shirley looked at him with a sulking gaze.

"Marcel still wants a divorce." Shirley told him.

Marcel only smiled briefly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw how Shirley sneered at her own plate.

That night, as usual, Marcel took his pillow and blanket as he intended to sleep in the maid's room.

"Just sleep in my room," Shirley invited Marcel hesitantly and reluctantly together.

Marcel was initially unsure if Shirley mean

    Upon arrival at the in-laws' office, Marcel went downstairs with Aldi to meet Herman together.Marcel, who was wearing a plain blue shirt and slick black trousers, walked beside Aldi, who told him to act like a conglomerate businessman.Marcel, who didn't know anything, just complied with what Aldi suggested to him."I'd like to see Mr Delvino," Marcel said to the clerk at the desk. "I'm his son-in-law, soon to be ex."The female employee reacted with difficulty as she tried to digest Marcel's words, but she went inside Herman's room to inform him of her son-in-law's arrival."How could he not know that you're the son-in-law of his boss?" Aldi whispered in surprise."You shouldn't be surprised," Marcel said in a low whisper. "My parents were hoping I would get a good career path."Aldi glanced around."It doesn't matter if it's a small company, you have dozens of companies ....""We're not talking about that here." Marcel warned. "I'm your employee, right?""Fine!" Aldi cleared his th

    Since Marcel only gives her three million in monthly allowance, Shirley has returned to her arrogant attitude.Especially after Ronnie told her that Marcel was just hitching a ride with his friend who owned a luxury car."Seriously, so all this time ...?" Shirley widened her eyes after learning that fact.Ronnie nodded."But let's face it, at least we can still utilize your in-laws' debt to make some money." He looked at Shirley. "You don't need a divorce, you don't have to have sex with Marcel if you don't want to.""What the hell, Bro, it's unclean, you know!" snapped Shirley with a look of disgust.Even though in her heart, she was saying the opposite.At one time or another, Shirley accidentally saw Marcel, who had just come out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist downwards.It was then that Shirley noticed a physical change in Marcel's two arms that looked toned and full, as well as his broad chest to his boxy stomach."Maybe ... he has a gigolo job?" chirp

    "I still want a divorce," Shirley whispered to her mother."Not a good idea," Reina shook her head. "Your husband's lab can make money for us, Marcel can also be used by you ....""He's a poor husband, I don't want him!" refused Shirley with a frown."But he can make millions from his work," Ronnie quipped. "It's just embarrassing our family name, Mum."Herman sighed."If this marriage ends, we all lose." He emphasized. "We haven't made any money back yet, so who's going to reimburse me?"Shirley rolled her eyes."If you stay Marcel's wife, at least you'll get some monthly money. She can also help around the house," Ronnie suggested as he did the math. "When else would you have a free mistress?"Shirley held her forehead, she wasn't sure if Marcel had any assets that he could drain."I'm the sacrifice too," Shirley complained as her parents conferred with Marcel again."I'll help," Ronnie said. "It's only natural that mum and dad don't want to lose, they've already spent a lot of mone

    Two weeks passed peacefully. Marcel and the other tenants managed to live their new lives on a schedule set by the center.The neighbors accepted their presence without question, so they didn't bother each other if Marcel went out with his driver Aldi and two others every day."I'm surprised none of the Delvino family members have realized what we're doing yet," Marcel commented as the car driven by Aldi's driver drove towards Herman's office. "I think this is too suspicious."Aldi's driver, Diko, was still focused on driving and did not immediately answer."It's good if it's like this, Sir." Diko said after a few moments of silence. "It makes the process of moving your lab to Mr Aldi's place easier."Marcel was silent for a while as he thought."But it could also be an indirect trap," he commented introspectively. "I must remain cautious, including with strangers we meet.""I agree, sir!" said Diko from the driving seat.Not long after, the car stopped at a red light. That's when Mar

    A few days in the new lab ...."You can't do that, Sir." Diko argued. "My boss has taken over ownership of this land ....""Where are the papers then?" asked Ronnie in a debt-collector-like tone."The letters, that's my boss's business." Diko stood his ground."If you can't show us the papers, we'll take over the land!" threatened Ronnie as he tugged on Diko's shirt collar. "Do you know who I am? I'm Herman Delvino's son, you should know that name!"Diko staggered backwards as Ronnie pushed him hard."Then can you show me the ownership letter from the Delvino family, sir?" said Diko while smoothing the front of his shirt."What?""Didn't you say that if there's no letter, it means the ownership can be in anyone's name?" replied Diko cleverly.Ronnie's face turned bright red when he heard Diko's words. He then turned to his men who were still standing at attention and shouted, "Level this place with the ground, now!"Diko turned around and was about to mobilise his men in anticipation

    "You ..." A guard observed Marcel's face that was slightly hidden behind his messy jet-black hair. "Like the one over there ...."Before the guard could recognize him, Marcel turned around and immediately pulled Venya to run back. He bumped into one or two people who were intent on blocking his way."Venya, I need your help!" Marcel exclaimed loudly."Are you sure, Marcel?" Venya called back. "I can't fight, Marcel!""You just need to listen to my instructions!" Marcel said. "And do it without asking too many questions!"Venya couldn't help but nod her head."The important thing is that I can go home and see my father!" Venya exclaimed almost desperately. "I came here to continue my research, but why is it like this!"Marcel nodded his head, he stopped his running and lifted Venya up by her waist until both of her long legs were lifted off the ground."Oh my, Marcel!" Venya exclaimed in surprise."I'm sorry if I'm being rude! But please raise your legs high, I'll use them to immobiliz

    "How is your husband's divorce going?" Miko asked Shirley, who was sitting next to her.The two of them were in the car and occasionally made out without regard to place and status."I don't know, he said he wants to keep divorcing me." Shirley replied lightly. "Who cares, Marcel never existed-except with my housemaid."Miko chuckled."How could you want to marry a man who doesn't have a good job," she commented mockingly. "Marry a well-established man, at least one who can satisfy you in every way ...."Shirley tingled when the tip of Miko's nose touched her ear."It's just a debt-redemption marriage," Shirley argued as Miko moved away. "We'll see, I'm not sure if Marcel has enough money to organize our divorce ... He thinks divorce doesn't cost money?"Miko grasped Shirley's hand as she said, "Until now, he hasn't moved forward because of what? Because there's no money!""Indeed," Shirley nodded in agreement."Well, let your husband do what he wants." Miko said. "With or without him

    Aldi split the team into two parts after Marcel received a call from the lab."Sir, I'll just go to the family's house." Marcel volunteered as Aldi put him on the second team as the search team."Hold on," Aldi interrupted, looking at Marcel very sternly. "We don't know if this is a trap from Delvino's family or not, Mr Marcelino. So let me send someone to visit there."Marcel didn't have time to argue because at that moment Diko came into their midst."Sir, all the teams are ready." Diko reported."We're leaving now," Aldi said, then turned to look at Venya. "You should stay in the lab ...""But ... I owe you and Mr Marcelino a lot, I want to help too," Venya insisted as she looked at Aldi, making it impossible for him to deny her request."Let me drive," Diko said as he grabbed Aldi's car keys. "You still look sleepy, take a nap while I drive ...""How can you?" said Aldi as he got into his own car and let Diko drive. "I'm not sure that Mr Herman Delvino would go out of his way, tha

    Elen and Shirley sat on the chairs that had been provided. While eating, occasionally the two of them engaged in short conversations with Ivone and Saga, who were sitting opposite.“A busy day for a CEO?” Saga commented casually.“Very, especially for someone new like me.” Elen nodded her head.“Oh really?” Saga responded with a surprised expression.Shirley herself was busy with a conversation that she thought was not that important with Ivone.“You still look young, how old did you graduate?” Ivone asked kindly.“Two or three maybe ... I don’t know, I’ve forgotten,” Shirley replied, occasionally her fingers were busy surfing on her cellphone screen.Elen, who saw that Shirley was more busy with the gadget in her hand, couldn’t resist reprimanding her.“Mrs. Shirley?” Elen called while moving her head closer to Shirley. “Please put your phone away, we’re having an important party right now ...”“Shut up,” Shirley hissed while pushing Elen’s head openly. “Don’t boss me around.”Ivone’

    Elen herself certainly wanted to reject her big boss’s proposal, but she couldn’t possibly say it directly in front of Shirley.However, she still cared about Herman’s daughter’s feelings, even though her attitude was very unpleasant to her.“I ...” Elen tried to find the right words to reject Herman’s plan.“Is there anything lacking in Shirley to be your secretary, Elen?” Herman asked again.Elen glanced at Shirley, who glared at her, as if ready to swallow her whole if she dared to say anything bad about her.“Nothing, sir,” Elen shook her head. “Mrs. Shirley ... is perfect, but Mrs. Shirley shouldn’t be my secretary.”Herman smiled faintly, while Shirley snorted softly.“Okay, there’s no reason for you to reject my daughter, right?” Herman asked again while looking at Elen.“Well, what’s this?” Shirley interrupted angrily. “I didn’t ...”“Dad didn’t talk to you, Shirley.” Herman reminded without looking at his daughter. “I won’t rush, please have a natural discussion with Shirley.

    “Elen, I want you to represent me in an important meeting with a client from Aldians Group.” Herman called Elen into his office when she had just checked one of the proposals.“Me, Sir?” Elen asked, nodding hurriedly to greet her boss.“Yes, you.” Herman nodded.“I ... feel bad for Mrs. Shirley, Sir.” Elen admitted. “I’m not on her level of education ...”Herman smiled faintly when he heard that.“You can go with Shirley,” he said lightly. “You can also teach my daughter so that she has a good attitude like you.”Elen froze for a moment, she remembered Shirley, who had once looked down on her because she only graduated from elementary school.“Is Mrs. Shirley willing to go with me, Sir?” Elen asked hesitantly. “I’m worried that ... if Mrs. Shirley objects and the meeting will be disturbed by my presence ...”Herman shook his head.“Don’t worry, this is just a casual social gathering. So it’s a good idea for you and Shirley to go together,” Herman said. “I want Shirley to do her job as

    Marcel looked at Venya with a serious look every time they discussed the Delvino family.“I hope Elen’s presence there can help us to uncover the real plan of my father-in-law and his family,” Marcel said slowly. “I know what my father-in-law is like ....”Venya took a deep breath.“Be patient,” she said. “I’m sure Elen can do it well since you told me that she was betrayed by her partner.”Marcel looked more serious when Venya walked past him to get a book.“People who are betrayed tend to want to prove themselves,” Marcel commented wisely.“I agree,” Venya replied with a nod. “We really have to give her a chance to prove her potential, Elen.”“I met her when she was mentally chaotic,” Marcel replied. “She seemed to be helped a little by what we did.”Marcel just nodded his head and walked away to his own room.Venya was still sitting pensive in her chair when Ivan appeared without any meaningful expression.“Have you finished your research?” Ivan asked casually.Venya stuttered and

    Meanwhile, Shirley still could not accept her father’s decision to appoint Elen as CEO of the company. How could she, who was highly educated, be paired with an employee whose educational background was unclear.That was an insult, Shirley was furious in her heart.She immediately ordered someone to find information about Elen, including her educational history.At least, Shirley wanted to make sure for herself that her competitor was someone who was very equal in everything.“Here are the files you asked for, ma’am.” A secretary handed a brown folder to Shirley.“No one knows that I told you to get Elen’s personal data, right?” Shirley asked, looking up at her secretary.“No one, ma’am.” The secretary shook her head politely.“Good,” Shirley replied in a satisfied tone. “You may go. But remember, don’t tell anyone about this.”The secretary nodded and hurriedly left Shirley’s room.After her employee left, Shirley lowered her head to check Elen’s biodata.

    “Sir, this is bad!”Damian looked up when Dirlan entered his office.“Why didn’t you knock first?” Damian asked unhappily.“Excuse me, Sir … but this is really bad!” Dirlan exclaimed, holding back. “I just got news from Wina this morning, and I came straight here looking for you …” “Sit down,” Damian ordered. “What’s the problem? Did a lot of employees leave?”Dirlan shook his head, he sat down and stared above him.“Not a single body was found from yesterday’s incident,” Dirlan said with a tense expression on his face. “There’s only a car wreck that’s ringing.”Damian responded to the news delivered by Dirlan with clenched fists.“How is that possible? Didn’t you say that the car should have had passengers?” Damian inquired with a twitching expression.Dirlan was a little horrified to see his boss’s face, he replied hesitantly, “Of course I’m sure, the car couldn’t have been driven by a ghost—at least there was a driver and an unexpected person, Marcel ...” Damian sighed heavily, “

    Upon arriving at the headquarters, Marcel successfully piqued Aldi’s curiosity because he saw their messy hands.“I told you to be careful!”Ivan, representing his colleagues, immediately explained the chronology of the events that had befallen them. Aldi shook his head in response to the unexpected disaster.“Take the injured to the lab,” Aldi ordered.“I’m fine, Sir ...” Marcel replied softly.“If you’re injured, that means something is wrong.” Aldi looked at Marcel firmly. “You two also have to be examined regarding the formula you’ve consumed.”Diko and the others nodded obediently when Aldi had already said so.In the lab ....Marcel suddenly felt his head dizzy and his body weak, so he just obeyed when the team of doctors asked him to lie down on the bed while Diko and Ivan were examined in another room.“No matter how magical it is, this formula still has to be perfected.”“Especially when it’s drunk in an unhygienic condition ...”“... a lot of dust, for example.”Marcel close

    When all the iron had been thrown completely, a man and a woman jumped down and walked closer.“How? Are you sure this won’t make the boss angry?” asked Wina who was standing on the far side. “Even though we had acknowledged the man as our son …”“Shouldn’t we be one step ahead?” replied Dirlan with sparkling eyes. “Let’s just say it was a single accident, the important thing is that the boss wants to stop Marcelino from continuing his cooperation with Mr. Aldi.”The man with the short hair shrugged.“We should go now,” he suggested. “Let the fake scientist clean up this mess.”The husband and wife immediately got back into the truck, not long after they left the scene before people came because of the chaos they had created.“My mind feels relieved after the person named Marcel was successfully destroyed, Wina!”“Hopefully what we did was right, Dirlan!”The couple did not speak to each other anymore as the truck carrying them continued to speed away from the scene of the crime.Upon

    Since leaving the shop and deciding to join Aldi, Marcel rarely showed his face in front of the Delvino family.Marcel's old cellphone was also always ringing, but he never bothered because the ones who contacted him were always Shirley or his mother-in-law who demanded that he return as soon as possible."I've finished the experiment with Venya and the team, can I go out for a while?" Marcel asked asking permission from Aldi. "I'm bored if I keep being locked up here without a job."Aldi thought for a moment. Marcel thought that he would never be given permission, but it turned out he was wrong!"You can go anywhere you want," said Aldi who at that time was busy with the layout of the Delvino family's very large residence."Are you serious, sir?" asked Marcel, very suspicious when Aldi easily gave him permission."As long as you continue to act carefully," replied Aldi with a serious face. "With us having started to gradually take over the medical market, I'm sure the Delvino family
