Around Gaston’s room, there is no CCTV. Jules personally asked the servants to take out the cameras because he does not want the Chairman to find out that he was abusing Gaston. Whenever he’s not in the mood or things do not go his way, Jules would go to his room and beat him. Gaston tolerated Jules’s physical abuse because he was scared. What would happen if he was kicked out the house? He was afraid to lose a job and a home. More than that, Gaston was stupidly in love with Jules’ sister. Back then, Gaston was an idiot, who hoped that he could be Solice’s family if only he tried his best. But things are different now. After the second punch, Jules was on his knees on the ground. When he turned back to Gaston, there was a red mark on his cheek. It was so satisfying to see Gaston. “Goddamn*t!” Jules shouted as his body trembled in madness. Gaston raised the hand he used to hit Jules twice. Then with a smirk, he said, “Now, I remember that I hit you.” Jules growled as he stood
Divine blinked swiftly. ‘Did Gaston shake my hands off him?’ she asked to herself. It must be her imagination, she thought. There’s no way this man who is head over heels to her would push her away. Divine smiled at him and said, “I heard that Jules hurt your again.” She snatched the cold compress from his hand. Then, she gently tapped it to his swollen cheek. “That childish guy. How can he hurt you as soon as you came back from New York?” Gaston’s fingers flinched. ‘Childish.’ Whenever Jules hurt Gaston, Divine always told him to spare her brother’s childish tantrum. If Divine really loves Gaston, she would not let Jules to torment him everyday. How foolish Gaston was to suffer like that just because he wanted to please Divine?! “I am fine, Miss. I am used to this anyway,” Gaston said before he snatched the cold compress back and pressed it on his cheek. “Miss?” Divine repeated in a sad tone. She tucked her hair behind her ears and looked at him with her big rounded eyes. “B
Divine swept her table, throwing all things. A crashing noise echoed inside her room. From her bloodshot eyes which were always calmed, showed blossoming resentment. Great anger thrummed through his veins, pulsing and pounding. Her face was all red, like a volcano that was about to erupt. “Argh!” she shouted and slammed the table once again. Divine always tried to be compose wherever she is. But this time, she could not hold her pacific. She blamed it all to the guy who spoke words that were as sharp as sword. [“I am sorry, Divine. I don’t love you anymore.”] After that, Divine could not say anything to Gaston. Gaston only smiled at her as he reassured her. [“I will pretend I didn’t hear any of your confession. Don’t worry.”] Then he left her alone in the kitchen. “He… He rejected me?!” she spit nails from her mouth. After some time, her breathing became stable. She was in rage that Gaston rejected her and humiliated her in the face. But while she was thinking about how Gast
The long meeting ended. Although many opposed the idea that the Chairman would like Gaston to handle the Hamington Corporation for a while, it would not change the result. After all, Gaston received Griffti’s approval as well as Sonny’s. When Gaston entered the mansion, Victoria greeted him. “You’re back.” Gaston stopped, walked and looked ahead at Victoria. Crossing her arms, Victoria walked closer to her with a sepulchral grin, as if expecting to see his demise. Gaston stayed on his spot and watched her brutal face that drowns a lurking and murderous aura. “The b*stard, who thinks that he succeeded in getting what he wanted,” she added as she ceased her feet. Victoria raised her head to look at his eyes, technically, because he is taller than her. “From asking the Chairman to give you power to handle Hamington and kicking my son out of the house. I praised your skill, Gaston. Who will imagine that a weakling like you knows how to bite?” Gaston did not reply and only looked a
When Jurgen opened his eyes, he found himself lying down in an unfamiliar place. “Where am…” He hurriedly sat up, only to feel the throbbing pain in his head. “Ahhh,” he groaned while holding his head. It wasn’t just his head that ached but also his stomach. “Are you okay now, young man?” When Jurgen tilted his head, he saw the man he saved before. It was then he remembered what happened. “Mister! Are you okay?” he asked. The middle-aged man had his eyes widened and subsided. He could not believe that the young man, who just woke up after being unconscious, was worried about him. “Yes, I am fine. Thanks to you,” he replied to Jurgen with a smile. “Thank goodness,” Jurgen said with a sigh. “I was so frightened when I saw the box falling onto your head.” He looked around and realized where he was. “This is… a hospital?” “You are right. We brought you to the hospital because you lost your consciousness before. Fortunately the doctor said that you did not get any injury. You fai
Jurgen felt happy wearing in his black suits again. Starting from today, he’ll be working as John Hopkins’ body guard. “Huh!” he scoffed. “I got fired as the Hamington’s chairman’s body guard. But now, I am working under another hot shot.” He arrogantly smiled while fixing his collar. It was not that long before his arrogant smile turned into a grin. “Gaston will be shocked to know this.” Gaston kicked him out of the Solice mansion. But Jurgen survived and found this job, all because he saved John’s live. Moreover, it was known to many that Hopkins ranked 1st against its competitors. Being in this place, Jurgen thinks that he should be thankful to his friend. ‘I found a nicer place, thanks to you, Gaston,’ Jurgen said. He took a deep breath before looking around the large office. “Woah~” he murmured. John’s office inside his house is spacious. It’s not like this is Jurgen’s first time to see this. Chairman’s Harold’s office in Solice’ mansion looks like this too. However, be
The welcome party will be on Saturday. There are two days left and Gaston felt anxious. ‘Will John Hopkins come to the party?’ Despite his effort to come to New York and tell them about the Heydiko project, John hasn’t contacted him yet. “If this does not work out, should I try another way?” Gaston thought as he parked the car in the garage. It’s already 1 am in the morning. Gaston felt so tired after working all day managing the Hamington corporation. Added the fact that the board of directors stress him a lot because they don’t want to bow their heads to the Chairman’s secretary. It was due to the Vice President’s influence. “I am handling the Hamington for the meantime. But Griffti should move and take this position quick.” For a moment, Gaston forgot that the oldest grandson of the Chairman is suffering from a mental illness. ‘This won’t last long, though. I am only delaying the time before I meet my father,’ Gaston thought while hopping out of the car. As soon as he hopp
John worked so much today that he did not notice how much time passed by. Only when he looked at the clock did he remembered that he skipped his lunch. ‘I need to eat.’ “Secretary David,” John called. David came inside when he heard his boss called him. “Yes, Sir?” “Bring me lunch.” “Alright, Sir.” “Wait a minute.” David looked back at John who called him and pointed the envelope in his hands. “What’s that?” John asked. “Ahh, this? It is an invitation for you, Sir. You were so busy last week so you haven’t checked this. I was thinking of giving it again to you.” “Really? How lazy of me.” “N-No, Sir! Everyone knows that you worked so hard.” And the reason why John was working so hard was known to many too. It was because he wanted to find his missing son. John smiled faintly as he glanced at the picture on the table, with its new frame. “What’s the invitation for?” John asked. David walked closer and gave him the envelope. “The Hamington Chairman’s grandson returned fro
