As the first rays of sunlight peeked through the windows, the sky was slowly painted in hues of soft blues and pinks, signaling the beginning of a new day. In the peacefulness of the early morning, Zane was already up and about in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.The rhythmic sounds of cooking and the alluring aroma of the morning meal filled the air, tempting Cecilia out of her slumber. She lay in her bed for a moment, savoring the delicious smell before finally getting up.She couldn't help but whisper to herself, still in a soft and drowsy tone, "Wow, the food is absolutely amazing."With curiosity and hunger guiding her, Cecilia made her way to the kitchen. As she entered, she was met with a familiar and comforting sight. She wasn't surprised, as Zane had always wanted to open his own restaurant."Good morning, boss," she greeted with a smile, finding Zane deeply engrossed in his cooking. He was wearing a black apron, a sharp contrast to the soft morning light."Did you forget to
As David Brown's booming laughter and condescending remarks filled the room, Zane sat calmly in his chair, unfazed by the judgment and ridicule he had grown accustomed to receiving. He had faced similar treatment from others who knew of his past as the former son-in-law of the wealthy Amber family. And David was no exception."Ha, you may not know me personally," David sneered, a smirk playing on his lips. "But you're quite the talk among Mr. Amber's employees. The son-in-law who was just a hitchhiker! Ha ha ha."Zane remained silent, maintaining his composure despite David's rude remarks. It was clear that David's perception of him was heavily influenced by Amber's version of events. The condescending tone and derogatory comments made it clear that David held a deep-seated disdain for Zane.But David was not done yet. "I can't believe I'm actually meeting you here, after your divorce from Mrs. Nora Amber," he continued, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "What brings you here? Looking
Sarah Madison's disapproving stare caused David Brown's demeanor to crumble.As he stood before her, he couldn't help but feel the weight of his mistake and the potential consequences. In Sunhaven, where job opportunities were scarce and unemployment was a dire situation, David felt like the walls were closing in on him.Driven by fear and regret, David approached Sarah and dropped to his knees, a desperate act of submission and plea for mercy."Mrs. Madison, please forgive me. I promise to correct all my mistakes. Please don't fire me, ma'am," he implored, his voice trembling with the realization of his precarious situation.But David's pleas didn't end there. He turned to Zane, the very person he had scorned just moments ago. Walking over to Zane, he knelt again, his actions fueled by desperation."Zane, please forgive my arrogance. I will make amends. Please help me so I don't lose my job. I need food and a place to stay," he begged, his pride swallowed by the fear of unemployment.
After receiving Zane's call, Emma Charlotte quickly prepared herself for their meeting.Dressed in a professional yet stylish outfit, Emma exuded confidence and grace as she walked through the clothing store to exit her office. Her presence commanded attention, but her humility and firmness earned her the respect and affection of her co-workers.One of her colleagues saw this as an opportunity to invite her for lunch. "Ms. Emma, would you like to join us for lunch?" they asked hopefully.Emma politely declined, explaining that she had an appointment. "Maybe we can have lunch together tomorrow," she kindly suggested."It's okay, Ms. Emma. Have a nice day," the colleague replied."See you later," Emma waved in farewell before stepping out of the store.Her co-workers, used to having lunch with her, didn't take her refusal personally. Emma's approachable nature made such invitations a common occurrence.As she walked away, the group began to talk amongst themselves, expressing their admi
Emma received a call from the project site, causing her to leave her managerial duties at the clothing store in the mall. As she made her way to the site, her mind was filled with concern over the unexpected situation. She needed to find out what exactly had happened."What? How is that possible? Is there something wrong with the fuel or engine of the device?” she inquired over the phone, her tone reflecting her worry.“Ms. Charlotte, everything was fine before," the worker replied confidently. "But suddenly everything stopped working. We’re currently checking for any damages.”"I see. I’ll be there in a moment," Emma responded, her tone indicating that she was on her way to the site.Although Zane had urged her not to rush out of her job until their restaurant was operational, this situation required her immediate attention. She knew she needed to be there to oversee the resolution of the issue.Meanwhile, at a restaurant opposite Zane's construction site, a couple watched the unfold
On the night of the sabotage incident, Zane had a breakthrough. He had been suspicious of foul play and managed to discreetly capture video footage of three individuals actively sabotaging his equipment. The evidence was concrete and provided the proof he needed.As soon as Zane received a notification on his smartphone, he sprang into action. He quickly enlisted the help of Cedric, and together they rushed to the location. Upon arrival, they found the three culprits in the act. Zane wasted no time in confronting them.Thanks to their timely intervention, the three individuals responsible for the damage were apprehended. Zane's quick thinking and decisive actions had paid off.In a crucial moment, Zane had the foresight to record the confessions of the saboteurs. The revelations they made were hardly surprising to him as he had suspected their involvement all along. However, their admission only confirmed his suspicions."Please, reveal to me the identity of your employer. I am willin
As Zane presented his case, the atmosphere at the table turned tense. Mr. and Mrs. Martinez, who had initially put up a facade of ignorance and false friendliness, were now taken aback by Zane's direct approach."Good evening, Mr. Martinez. If you have a moment, I would like to share a story with you. It's about the renovation journey of my restaurant. However, I must inform you that we have recently encountered a setback. Our heavy equipment was tampered with, causing delays in our progress," Zane started, his voice unwavering and determined.He continued. "I have conducted a thorough investigation and have discovered the root of the issue. It seems to have stemmed from an incident during the renovation project."Martinez, who had been trying to maintain his friendly facade, could no longer hide his annoyance and defensiveness. He confronted Zane with a mix of irritation and unease."So, what is the purpose of you coming here and revealing this to me, Mr. Gardner? Are you accusing me
Despite the tension that was rapidly rising, Zane remained calm and collected, his demeanor in stark contrast to the agitated atmosphere surrounding him.It was clear that Zane's dedication to cultivation and his mastery of the spirit channeler realm had equipped him with an exceptional ability to maintain his cool, no matter how difficult the circumstances.Emma couldn't help but be impressed by Zane's remarkable composure, even in the face of such a chaotic situation. She admired his patience and calm, traits that seemed almost superhuman to her.Mrs. Martinez raised her eyebrows and spoke up. "You're just a young businessman, Mr. Gardner. It seems like you don't know yourself very well. Do you truly believe that by accusing us, you can somehow obtain more funds for your small business? Do you take us for fools? Let me assure you, we won't fall for your tricks that easily. And if you continue to make these baseless accusations, we won't hesitate to involve the authorities. I have no
