After talking with Amelia, the woman had to return to the office to discuss many things regarding her cooperation with the Benstar Company. Amelia said goodbye, unlike James, who still sat accompanied by a dish of chicken salad that James had yet to finish. "They'll probably come home at night. So, you don't have to worry about them being home this afternoon," Amelia explained. James cleared his throat as he continued eating the ordered food, "I see." "Let me know if you need any other help," Amelia said. The woman walked away from James, carrying a tote bag in her hand. James watched as Amelia returned to her sedan, leaving the café with her driver heading towards the city center. It didn't take James long to finish the chicken salad he had ordered; it was gone in seconds. Now, James would refocus on his mission; his nearest goal was to improve his knowledge of the pharmaceutical field. "Prime," James called, simultaneously activating his AI system. [Prime Activated] [Do you
"You disappoint me, James!" snarled Alexander.Alexander threw James' body violently to the side, hitting the bookshelf and sending thick books falling onto James' body.The burly man left James' study, leaving his son helplessly on the floor.The door to James' study was slammed loudly by Alexander, attracting the attention of everyone in the place without exception.Ruth, who suspected her husband had fought with James, immediately walked away. Selena chose to sit quietly in the living room, reluctant to interfere in Lawrence's family affairs.As the elevator doors opened, Ruth saw Alexander in the elevator with a sharp look on his face. She already knew that Alex had done something terrible to James; the two had no convers
The next day.Today was James' first day as a staff member at Eclipse. He was already dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, without a suit.The guards began carrying James' stuff to Ruth's lakeside home as the move was underway. Alexander didn't know James was moving, as he had left for his office in the morning for an important meeting."Are you leaving?" James asked.Ruth asked because she saw her son walking across the living room dressed up. James stopped his walk, heading towards his mother, who remained in the room, appearing to be waiting for someone."I'm going to work," James replied.The old woman smiled broadly, stood up, and moved closer to James. Her wrinkled hands rubbed James' shoulders and neatened his shirt."Your job is pretty dangerous. So, be careful," Ruth pleaded.James smiled, taking Ruth's hand gently. From that touch, he could sense that Ruth's love for him was much bigger than Alexander's.<
Unwilling to be noticed by Martin, James went in the other direction, separating himself from the line for lunch. Jayden, who saw James leave, became confused. He called out to the man and asked where he was going."I need to use the restroom," James said simply.The man continued to walk towards a room in the corner of the cafeteria. Martin seemed busy with his tablet, paying no attention to James's presence.James stood before the basin, washing his hands with his eyes focused on the mirror before him. There were only two closed toilet doors; the remaining three were open.He would leave the place if it was safe enough for him. Jayden and Hannah were having lunch without James. The man kept turning his head around, looking for the new staff member."You're his friend, aren't you?" Jayden asked Hannah."You could say that," Hannah replied."Is he a weird guy?" asked Jayden, squinting his eyes."I've known him for a while. It w
The party lasted about four hours. Jayden, the man who suggested the party, collapsed first after drinking two medium-sized bottles of beer.Caroline and Tobias had left two hours ago. They left at the same time in Tobias' car, and James watched their departure from the third floor.Iris noticed that James, who was sitting before her, kept watching the two people leave. She spontaneously asked James innocently."Is there something wrong with them?" Iris asked."Nothing. I just admire those who were born lucky into a respected family," James replied."With the wealth they have, they have no reason to be unhappy, right?" asked James, smiling at Iris.Iris sighed, looked to the side
Lara's white sedan stopped right near the Rosewood residence. James had asked her to do that so the people in the house wouldn't notice her arrival in a luxury car."Are you sure you're going back to this place? Didn't they always hurt you?" Lara asked.James removed the seatbelt from his body, smiling with his head turned towards Lara, " These days, I often leave the house. I'm just afraid they'll get suspicious."The car door opened, James stepped out carrying his black suitcase. Lara said goodbye, leaving the place as Tobias began to walk towards the back of the house.James entered quietly, preventing the people in the house from finding out. As the door opened, he was met by several maids working in the kitchen, apparently cooking something."James," greeted one of the maids softly."Is there a guest?" asked James, curious.He turned his head towards the living room, where Madame Margaery was sitting on a single sofa, along with
Riding in a black sedan, James drove away from the Rosewood residence towards the city's main street. St. Park's Hospital was the leading hospital in Newstrand, let alone the Country of Carran.The best doctors in the country were there, dedicating themselves and their knowledge to the people's health.The hospital's operational hours usually start at eight to take care of administration or visiting hours. However, James had his own authority after he went there on behalf of Red Eye agents.His bodyguard was seen digging into the car's dashboard, taking away something from inside. A phone was clutched in his left hand, holding it out to James."A phone?" asked James."Miss Amelia told me to give it to you. She also left a not
As they watched the DD pill patients, the room door opened and revealed two patients coming in. James and Dave turned their faces, staring at the entrance."Isn't it too early for them to arrive?" asked James."Since the disease spread, no one can predict when the patients will arrive," Dave replied.The middle-aged doctor approached the two patients, their hands and feet shackled by tight ropes attached to the bed.He conducted a brief check-up, such as heart rate, eyeballs, and pain sensitivity in the hands and feet. Even though they were giggling endlessly, they still had painful expressions when Dave pinched them."They seem to be in the early stages. Put them in the seventh room," Dave said.Latest Chapter
