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
“You will accompany me tomorrow in the Solice mansion. I was invited to the party.” Jurgen’s mouth hung open. Just a moment ago, Victoria told him to attend the party and take his revenge on Gaston. Now, John said that he will attend the party. ‘What to do? Mister should not meet Gaston. He might recognize him!’ “You look pale. Why? You can’t come with me?” John asked when he noticed Jurgen’s pale complexion. “N-No, Sir. It's just that, that place does not hold good memories to me,” Jurgen said as he lowered his head and gulped. “Was it because of your friend? That Gaston Harrison who kicked you out?” Jurgen’s eyes widened. John has no idea that the son he’s been looking for years is no other than Gaston! “I think you don’t need to worry. That friend of yours cannot harm you as long as you’re with me.” Speechless, Jurgen looked back at John. He didn’t mean to talk bad about Gaston. Actually, when Jurgen told his story, he did not know at that time that Gaston is John’s son.
Pairs of eyes went to the gigantic door, which was pulled by the servants. Behind the opening door, they saw a man with brushed up hair. He was wearing a shining black suit, silver watch and black shadows. The man has mushy and thick brows and gray icy eyes which can freeze every nerve in one’s mind. His pale skin seems like an untainted sheet of paper, delicate. If not for his red lips, someone might think he lost all the blood in his body. Not an anemic like person, but an ice prince. He looks like a Greek God creature who was molded in perfection, that no one has yet to discover, not until he appeared now in front of their bare eyes. Among the guests, he’s head taller, and his body is firmly built like a knight waiting to rescue a princess in his strong arms. Griffti’s appearance is undeniably elegant and respectable in the persona of royalty. Standing there with all eyes fixated on his side, he is an icing in the middle of ants. But he is not the only one who received the int
“But I don’t mind taking him.” Everyone looked at the lady, who butted in their conversation. Extremely fair skin which goes well with blonde hair that shines like the sun in the morning, but tonight it looks like gold under the lighting. And on top of that, they were adorned with amethyst eyes. Her face has delicate lines, smooth and gentle. It was no exaggeration to say that Divine Solace resembles an angel. But behind that beautiful face, greed was hidden. Griffti is aware that there’s no way Divine saved the conversation for him. After all, he was an enemy. But for Divine to save Secretary Gaston? Griffti looked alternately between the two. Divine stared at Gaston with eyes that say: ‘I will save you,’ But Gaston showed an expression that shouts: ‘I don’t need it.’ What exactly is the relationship between them? Griffti wanted to find out the answer. “D-Divine, my daughter,” Victoria gasped. It was her who made a statement to mock Gaston, not expecting that her daughter woul
