"Stop!" said Max (the rich man), hastening his steps and rushing to them to stop Samuel and the security guard from expelling Aiden and Ariana from the company. Max fixed his eyes on Aiden with a guilty look. Then he glanced at the girl next to Aiden, which made him wish he had come sooner so that such a mess could be avoided. Aiden let go of the security guard's hand holding Arianna's wrist to drive them away. Catching Max is like a guarantee for him to stay calm. "Are you okay?" Aiden checked Ariana's condition first. Ariana gripped his wrist stiffly. Her innocent face showed that she wasn't in a comfortable position after what she had been exposed to earlier. "I'm fine," Ariana said. But the girl made up that lie in front of Aiden, even though it didn't feel necessary because Aiden could easily read the look on her face. Aiden smiled; he felt better believing the girl's words without arguing with her. "Who gave you the order to treat them so harshly?" Max faced the two rough
"I'm really sorry about this, Sir. Actually, you must not get that kind of treatment from the employees that we work for." Max took a deep breath.Aiden had heard enough of his guilt, and he thought it was better for him now that the situation was resolved. "Not everything can be controlled. So I quite understand it.”"You don't need to feel heavy about what happened earlier. It's better to forget about it," Aiden said.Aiden didn't mind it, but after he finished, he realized what he had just said and glanced at Ariana.Ariana should have said what she just said because she is the one who has suffered the most humiliation from Samuel."I think we should go to my office now. Go through this way!" Max directed Aiden to his room in the company.They climbed several floors. Then, they arrived on a floor and were greeted by a woman who smiled at them upon seeing their arrival.Max opened the glass door after he used the access card to enter the room.Ariana, who had just stepped into the w
Coming out of the airport, the look on Stella's face showed her mood very clearly. She walked up to the car that picked her up with a stern and cold look. It all happened because he, who had intended to stay for fun, was forced to return, annoyed, because of her father's plan."Welcome again, Miss!" A man dressed in all black neatly greeted her. Immediately, he took over the suitcase that Stella was carrying.Stella walked over without taking a glance at him as she let go of the grip on her trunk."What's changed about this place?" asked Stella, who immediately sat in the passenger seat as soon as the car door was opened for her.The man who had been sitting in the driver's seat looked in the rearview mirror with a crooked smile."Everything is still the same as when you left the last time," he said, having known Stella for a long time.Stella stared out of her window in embarrassment. She had absolutely no interest in coming back. But her father's decision to involve her made her d
Returning from Spirex, Aiden was asked to come to the mansion where Lord Osrich lives.Lord Osrich said that Aiden doesn't need to meet him at the office. Aiden was also asked by Lord Osrich to come to dinner with Lord Osrich's family and bring along the contract he got from Spirex that day.Aiden arrived in front of the mansion fence that Lord Osric told him about. He saw the magnificent building of the mansion.Upon seeing it, he could immediately recognize a building that looked exactly like Lord Osric. The personality of the middle-aged man had even permeated his home."Rich people are different," said Aiden.He walked into the courtyard of the building. He saw the housekeeper, who strangely seemed to recognize him even though this was the first time he had come to that place."Lord Osric is waiting for you, sir." The man informed him.Aiden entered what looked like a party room. There were so many people attending the dinner that he thought it was a simple event. Aiden was led to
"What makes you come here?" Aiden approached James (one of Aiden's underlings), who contacted him by phone and asked to meet.They met in a fairly crowded place. It is a small harbor that many local people visit to just sit and watch the sea or hang out with their families and friends. Such a small tourist spot wouldn't look suspicious.Aiden sat on a park bench. He brought a packet of bird food that he bought from a small seller in the corner of the place.He planned to feed the birds, which would also liven up the place. Aiden's watching them worrylessly fight over food cheered him quite a bit.James saw what Aiden was doing. He saw that his boss's behavior was getting weirder.For someone like him, he should do things that are far from simple, but that time he found Aiden with his very, very simple appearance. Compared to the person whom he was targeting, he looked more like an innocent man from a small village."You shouldn't be doing this here," James said.Aiden held his gaze at
Aiden was still looking at Lady Irish that was now gawking at nowhere. Her shocked face was still obvious and Aiden couldn't help but feel pity. "Are you sure you're alright, Lady Irish?" Aiden asked once again though it was useless to ask the obvious. "O-Of course, yes..." Lady Irish replied but her mouth betrayed her for it was trembling due to nervousness. She walked and wanted to leave that place but her knees were trembling as well. Good thing Aiden was able to caught her hand when she lost her balance. "Gracious goodness!" Lady Irish exclaimed as she was holding tightly on Aiden's hand. Lady Irish immediately composed herself and smiled timidly. "Thank you saving me." "No need to say that," Aiden answered and roamed his eyes around the corner. "I just did what's suppose to be done." Lady Irish looked at Aiden with questions in her eyes. But she chose to leave him and didn't speak a word. Meanwhile, one of the member of Black Scorpion saw Aiden and noticed him while he w
"How could you do this, father?" Stella couldn't control herself to just keep silent anymore.She was in deep rage after hearing that Aiden got the most of the shares. "It's unfair!"Lord Orsic smiled in secret. He knew that Stella was against his announcement."Who is that man that you will give the most of the shares!" Cole also didn't keep his silence. "For all people, why it has to be him?""Whatever you will say, it's my decision to be done!" Lord Orsic's voice roared in the whole villa that made everyone shut their mouth."Are you questioning my decision, Cole?""It's not like that, Father," Cole was controlling himself to be calmed and not talk back to his father as a respect."We are your sons and daughters, is it hard for you to give the most of the shares to us?""So you're questioning me?" Lord Orsic said stiffly."Can you please just listen to me, Father?" Cole's voice sounded like pleading.He would do everything just to make sure that Aiden would not have all the shares
Aiden decided to see Lord Osric first, before he would finally take his leave. He had something he has been meaning to ask, and it was better to ask it now. So, he strolled to meet the Lord privately. " Aiden!" Lord Osric beamed, as soon as he saw Aiden approaching him, and he adjusted himself. " What brings you here?" He asked with a smile. Aiden kept a cool and stoical face, as he moved closer to Lord Osric. " Lord Osric," he greeted politely. " I have something to ask you if you don't mind." There was no need to beat around the bush, so Aiden went straight to the point. " Is it about what I said earlier?" Lord Osric inquired curiously, almost immediately and gestured for Aiden to take a seat beside him. Aiden made a dry chuckle, " No." He actually didn't care about that. Lord Osric arched his brows and thought of what Aiden wanted to ask. " What is it then?" Aiden gazed at Lord Osric with a straight but still calm face, " Can you tell me about my family?" His voi
