Gennadius' voice broke Viktor's reverie. Viktor was also nervous. Not nervous because he doesn't know or doesn't understand what Gennadius is talking about. However, because Viktor's mind was remembering something. Yes, that's right! Recalling the pieces of the past left in his mind."That's right, Mr. Viktor."Maksim joined the conversation. He glanced at Gennadius for a moment before continuing his words. Meanwhile, Viktor just fell silent, with his face beginning to blanch."In addition to musical performances, you can read books or magazines in Russian as well as foreign languages available on the bookshelf on the right, right behind you. The Grand Hotel Art Accent makes visitors feel comfortable."Maksim pointed to the bookshelf that was behind Viktor. However, Viktor didn't respond at all. Instead, he was busy playing with his thoughts.'I think I have to go to the bathroom right now,' Viktor thought, looking at Gennadius. He felt his head hurt."Grandpa and Mr. Maksim, I'm gonna
At the same time, Maksim came with his handsome face tense. He heard a little of Viktor and Gennadius' conversation."Excuse me. We are delivering orders for table number 7."Two waitresses came to greet Viktor and the others. They brought lunch orders and arranged them neatly on the table."Please enjoy!" "Please enjoy!"After bowing, the two waitresses left.Viktor looked at the many food menus served on the table."Please enjoy, Mr. Maksim!"Gennadius tries to melt Maksim's heart. He didn't want Maksim to be hurt, so he canceled the cooperation contract between the Romanov family company and the Konstantin family company."There's no need to be so formal like that, Mr. Gennadius. After all, I'm your granddaughter's former fiancée.Viktor saw Maksim force a smile to his lips. However, Viktor was pleased to see Maksim being respectful towards Gennadius."What does Grandpa want to eat? This man is at your service."And yes, Viktor volunteered as usual."Mr Maksim, you should try the
Maksim opened his eyes wide and stared at the series of sentences written on worksheet 2."If the 2nd party unilaterally cancels the cooperation contract, then the 2nd party must pay a penalty of 10 times the loss incurred."Viktor heard Maksim read the striking sentence that stunned everyone, including Gennadius."Yes, that's right."Viktor confirmed the sentence Maksim had just read. His calm demeanor always fooled the opponent."By what is written in the document, you as the second party must pay a penalty if you break the cooperation contract with Konstantin Co."Gennadius patted Viktor's left shoulder after his grandson-in-law explained to Maksim."Viktor, wasn't that sentence not in our agreement when we signed the document?"Gennadius whispered in Viktor's ear. He was anxious because he didn't want to lose the opportunity and trust of a giant company like RHC."Maybe you forgot, Grandpa."Viktor tried to avoid eye contact with Maksim as well as Feliks. Because he didn't want th
"Mr. Gennadius, I'm sorry if I presumptuously interrupted your conversation with Mr. Viktor. But in my opinion, what Mr. Viktor did was correct.Andriy spoke up in defense of his master."As a businessman, Mr. Viktor was simply anticipating things that might happen in the future. Considering that the relationship between the two families, the Konstantins and the Romanovs, has been strained by the breakup of Miss Zoya's engagement to Mr. Maksim."Andriy tried to clear up the misunderstanding between Gennadius and Viktor."And in my opinion, Mr. Viktor is perfectly suited to hold the position of a legal team or similar, Mr. Gennadius."'Yes, I like the position of company attorney better than Grandpa's assistant. I hope you'll listen to Andriy's advice.'Viktor thought to himself as he hoped that Gennadius would grant his wish."Let's go back to the office!"Gennadius didn't respond to Andriy's suggestion. Yuri handed Gennadius his cane. Viktor helped the great lord to his feet.***Vik
"Are you joking?"Viktor laughed as he stared at the painting that had managed to distract him."Joking? I'm not joking, Viktor. A man's endurance is certainly stronger than a woman's. Think about it!"This time, Viktor looked at Gennadius seriously."Grandpa, I can't imagine that Zoya will have a man looking after her all day. And, it's possible that there will be the seeds of love between them."'It's not that I'm concerned with my ego. Don't you see that?' Viktor thought to himself. He spoke his heart out without letting anyone know."Ha! Ha! Ha!" Gennadius laughed at Viktor. "It turns out you're a jealous man, Viktor."Viktor was silent. Deep in his heart, he confirmed what Gennadius had just said."You're Zoya's husband. You have full control over your wife's life, Viktor. So, decide what is best for my granddaughter!""But, Grandpa. I don't want anyone to know about this, including Papa David and Mom Galana."Gennadius nodded his head and replied, "I know what you mean, Viktor.
'I don't know whether Zoya believed the answer I gave or not. If I look at her eyes, she doesn't seem to believe me.'Viktor wondered about his wife's thoughts. He was eager to gain Xandrova's full trust, but it was difficult for him to convince her."Hmm? Is that so?"Xandrova changed her sitting position by shifting the chair."Viktor, how was your first day at Konstantin Co?"Viktor smiled as Xandrova looked at him from a very close distance."I liked it, Zoya."There was a clear look of happiness on Viktor's face."I've always dreamed of working for a big company. Amazing skyscrapers, spacious and luxurious office rooms, professional coworkers, and everything else that's amazing!"Viktor is enthusiastic when he talks about his workplace."I never expected Konstantin Co to have such a beautiful Stalin neoclassical design, Zoya!"Xandrova smiles broadly."Viktor, can I go to the office with you and Grandpa?"Viktor's heart almost stopped beating when Xandrova threw out that line of
"Huh?!"Viktor was dumbfounded by Yeva's words. He was confused. He didn't understand what Yeva was saying to him."Yeva, hold on! What did you just say?"Viktor tried to chase after Yeva, but the man just disappeared from his sight."Oh, no!"Viktor realized that his clothes were wet from the water spilled from the container."Viktor!"At the same time, Galana's voice came from the living room."Viktor!"Before he could answer, Galana called Viktor for the second time."Yes, Mom."Viktor actually didn't like shouting. However, he was forced to do it so that Galana wouldn't call him again.Viktor walked towards Konstantin's living room where Galana and Davidoff were."What took you so long, Viktor? What are you doing?"Galana stood up and walked ahead of Viktor."Follow me!"On the long sofa, Davidoff was playing with his smartphone. He was laughing to himself and looked extremely happy."Come quickly, Viktor!""Yes, Mom. Do you wanna go to bed early?"Viktor stepped into his father-i
"Yes?"The car stopped right in front of the gym center. Caleb was silent for a moment before resuming his sentence."I work for a private detective agency. Andriy promoted me to Mr. Gennadius to look after you."Viktor was surprised by Caleb's confession.'According to my observations, Caleb is unlikely to betray. And what about Andriy? He is far from a traitor. So, where did Papa find out about the change in the contract?'Viktor thought for a moment about what had happened in his father-in-law's bedroom. He would find out who had complained to Davidoff.Caleb pulled out the car keys and reached for the gym bag on the back seat. He looked at Viktor who was lost in his reverie."Mr. Viktor, let's get out of the car!"Caleb's voice boomed in Viktor's eardrums. The son-in-law of the Konstantin family got out of the car.***At almost 1:00 am St Petersburg time, Viktor was practicing Muay Thai with Caleb. Besides practicing, they also exchanged ideas."You know what, Caleb? One of the r
