DOR! DOR! DOR! "GOOD MORNING EXCLUSIVE GREG!" *** The booming cheers echoed through the corridor, creating an atmosphere that was far from what Greg had expected when entering Behav Company's headquarters. He stood there, dumbfounded, trying to process the sudden burst of energy and excitement that had enveloped him. “W—What’s this?” Greg's mind raced in confusion as he took in his surroundings. The once normal corridor now resembled a scene out of a lively party, with security personnel dressed in festive attire, holding cans of confetti poppers, and the air filled with an almost tangible anticipation. Not to mention that the unending confetti makes the party vibe stronger! Before Greg could fully comprehend the situation, the chorus of voices erupted once more. "GOOD MORNING EXCLUSIVE GREG!" Greg was shocked once again, his eyebrows furrowing as he looked around, still struggling to make sense of the unexpected spectacle before him. His attention was momentarily diverted as

Greg listened intently as Bradley began recounting the story behind the unique executive greeting."Yes, Mr. Von Ritcher. So, that's the real reason why we had this greeting," Bradley explained, his tone carrying a mix of pride and amusement. "You know, if it’s not because of Karel's ingenious insight, we won’t ever think to have this unique idea."Greg raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Karel's insight? What do you mean?"Bradley's lips curved into a knowing smile. "You see, Karel, one of our executives, is a firm believer in the power of positive energy and camaraderie. He's been a strong advocate for team-building activities and strategies that boost morale."Greg nodded, intrigued by this revelation. "So, the greeting is a morale-boosting strategy?""Exactly," Bradley confirmed. "Karel proposed that a vibrant, energetic entrance to our executive meetings could set a positive tone for the discussions that follow. He believed that by starting the meeting with a burst of excitement li

The conversation in Behav's exclusive meeting room continued to swirl around the enigmatic figure of Greg. The executives speculated and theorized about his background, each theory becoming more outlandish than the last."I heard he's actually a spy sent by a rival company to gather information.""A spy? That's quite audacious, isn't it? What would a spy be doing with a name as ordinary as 'Greg'?"A bespectacled executive chimed in, "Ah, that's the brilliance of it. He's using a fake name to throw us off his trail. No one would suspect a 'Greg' of espionage."Laughter and playful banter filled the room as they concocted wild stories about Greg's origins. The excitement was contagious, and even the more reserved executives couldn't help but join in the speculative fun."And you know what's the most unbelievable part?" the fiery-haired woman interjected with a grin. "I heard he's the child of a powerful politician, and he's here to manipulate this company for his family's political gai

The room fell into a deep silence after the executive's condescending remark hung in the air like a heavy fog while Greg just remained composed with an unreadable expression as if he had expected some level of skepticism and had come prepared to face it head on.His silence seemed to have unnerved the executive who had just spoken, and a hint of discomfort was visible on his face. He probably didn't anticipate such a calm response from Greg.After a long silence, Greg finally spoke, his voice was measured and confident. "Of course, let's address the elephant in the room first," he began, his tone carrying a quiet authority that commanded attention.The room's eyes shifted from the skeptical executive to Greg, their expressions a mix of curiosity and anticipation as if they sensed that something significant was about to transpire."You see,” Greg continued, his gaze steady. “Skepticism is a healthy aspect of any organization. It fosters critical thinking and ensures that decisions are

At Havenwood estate…Dylan stepped through the polished mahogany doors of the Havenwood estate, his footsteps echoing softly in the grand foyer. The spacious mansion was a sight to behold, a testament to wealth and privilege. Yet, despite its opulence, the house felt strangely empty today."Hmm, this house seems empty...Is everyone gone?" Dylan mused to himself, furrowing his brow. He had expected at least some of the household staff to be bustling about, attending to their usual tasks. But there was an eerie emptiness that hung in the air. Then Dylan's gaze turns on the ornate grandfather clock standing against the wall. Its hands indicated that it was 10.00 am in the morning which means it was already working hours. "Hm... That's strange, I haven't even seen Greg," Dylan thought aloud, a tinge of concern in his voice. "Could he also leave too? But wait... Where will he go? There's no way he went to behav since his role as an executive begins tomorrow."Dylan pondered before a soft

The tension that had gripped the exclusive meeting room began to dissipate as the discussion bound to close.Bradley, who was seated in the front, leaned back in his chair, his expression thoughtful yet composed.The executives exchanged final nods and gestures, acknowledging the conclusions they had reached during the meeting. It was a rare occasion for these formidable minds to come together, and the weight of their decisions hung in the air.With a subtle clearing of his throat, Bradley's commanding voice cut through the lingering silence. "Thank you all for your valuable insights and contributions today. It's through these discussions that Behav continues to thrive and innovate."He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the executives gathered around the sleek table. "Remember, the future of this company rests on each of your shoulders. Let's continue to work diligently and uphold the principles that Behav stands for."The executives nodded in agreement, their e

The opulent restaurant buzzed with the lively chatter of executives dressed. The air was thick with an aura of celebration as the lunch for the company's top minds felt more like a party than a simple lunch. Crystal glasses clinked, and laughter filled the air as the executives raised their glasses."To our new executive!" Alan's voice rang out, his grin wide and infectious."CHEERS!"

I appreciate your offer, but I prefer to take i

"Hey, Greg," Karel's voice broke the rhythm of their conversation, his tone contemplative. The city sounds enveloped them as they walked side by side.Karel paused for a moment as if choosing his words carefully before continuing, his voice carrying a hint of curiosity. “Do you find it amusing or even fun to pretend to be an executive?”.Greg's steps faltered as he absorbed the unexpected question. He turned his head toward Karel, his brows furrowing slightly in confusion."What do you mean?" Greg asked, his voice steady despite the tumultuous thoughts swirling in his mind.Karel's lips curved into a small smile, his gaze fixed on Greg. "I mean exactly what I asked. Being here, playing the role of an executive, surrounded by all this façade and power. Do you find joy in playing as an executive and hiding your 'identity'?" Karel's words carried an edge that made Greg's frown deepen.What did Karel mean by that accusation? Why was he implying that Greg was merely playing a role, hiding

At The Faith's Company.The imposing wooden door of Charles Faith's office had a distinct rhythm as it received three sharp knocks, echoing through the hushed corridor."Come in."The door swung open, and his impeccably dressed secretary entered with a respectful bow. She carried a folder and a map, her demeanor exuding professionalism."Good morning, Mr. Faith," she greeted. "I just wanted to inform you that the Faith Company's market is experiencing rapid growth. The score was higher than last month, and the number held a new sales record for our company, so our marketing team decided to set a higher score so that we can achieve higher success.

Greg's thoughts swirled with uncertainty, the weight of the situation heavy on his shoulders. And just as he was wrestling with the question of how to navigate the unexpected presence of Griffin and Mara, a sudden knock at the door disrupted his contemplation. It was one of Bluebell Inn's servants."Good afternoon," the inn servant began, "I'm sorry for bothering you, but I wanted to remind you that the banquet is now available, and you are welcome to join if you wish."Greg nodded, acknowledging the information. "Thank you. We'll head to the banquet shortly."As the servant left, Dylan turned to Greg. "Looks like the banquet is already open. Shall we go now?" he asked, and Greg nodded."Sure.

As Greg continued to ponder the familiarity of the bag, Alan's voice abruptly brought him back to the present.“Hey, Greg. I’ve been searching for you everywhere," Alan said with a friendly smile. "We need to get inside the lab building. Everyone's already gathered inside since Mr. Smith has already arrived.""Alright, I'll come in," Greg said, as he followed Alan.Inside the Old Behav Lab Building...Greg stepped into the old Behav lab building and found that everyone had already gathered inside. The room buzzed with whispered conversations as the executives engaged in hushed discussions. There was a certain nostalgia in the air, a reminder that many of them had started their careers in this old abandoned lab when they were young scholars. Some of the executives were reminiscing about the past, discussing their memories of working in this very building."Everyone must be feeling nostalgic, considering it's been a long time since they set foot in here," Greg mused as he observed thei

The morning sun bathed the Bluebell Inn in warm, golden light as the executives of Behav Industries enjoyed a grand breakfast. As everyone was eating, Greg, who was sitting on the corner couldn't help but observe Jason, who was now sitting at a table, laughing heartily with Bradley. It was a stark contrast to his furious demeanor just the day before. "Hm, that was weird, how come Jason suddenly changed his mind in one day? Wasn't he still angry yesterday?" Greg mused as he silently drank his coffee."Is Bradley perhaps saying something to him? He must have said something to Jason since he was still mad yesterday. "What did Bradley say that managed to change Jason's mind in one da—” "Hoh, newbie, so you're joining our trip to the lab, huh? What did you say to Karel that made him suddenly let you? You didn't tell what Dr.Lou tells right?" Greg, who heard someone call his name, shifted his gaze and he immediately met with Alan's smiley face. Returning his smile, Greg said, "Nah

Greg now stared in disbelief at the sight before him. Under the bed, there was…“Dylan?” Greg exclaimed, his voice betraying his astonishment as he looked at his subordinate who grinned mischievously before slowly getting up from his hiding place."Hey, Greg," Dylan greeted with a smirk. "Phew, I was relieved to no longer be down there. It's pretty dirty under the bed."Greg scoffed, still bewildered by Dylan's sudden appearance. "Weren't you just out with your belongings minutes ago?"Dylan chuckled as he brushed off some dust from his clothes. “Well, about that… Let’s just say, I didn’t really go out since I was kinda curious about what you and Karel are about to discuss so I decided to eavesdrop for a while before going back to Maria and the teen room,” said Dylan, making Greg roll his eyes.“Anyway, Greg, about Karel’s question…” Dylan's grin faded, and his expression turned serious. "It was strange, don't you think? Like, why would he suddenly ask about Bradley and forgiveness? I

BRAK!The suite room's door swung open, and Karel stepped inside, his eyes scanning the spacious and luxurious surroundings. "Oh, so this is the room, huh? It's pretty big," Karel remarked as he began placing his belongings on the floor. "It's almost as big as the city's hotel suite room. Bluebell Inn should try to advertise more about this place. It'll definitely elevate their income."Greg followed Karel into the room, placing Karel's other belongings beside his own. "Well, yeah, I agree with you. Bluebell should try to advertise this place more" Greg replied, keeping his tone casual. 'Tsk, how come he and Dylan had the same thought?' Greg mused.Karel continued his assessment of the room. "And also, I think they need to fix the connection too. You know, even though this is an inn based in nature, this world is already modern, so Wi-Fi and a good connection have become primary needs, just like food and drink."“Yeah, I agree with you,” Greg briefly said.As they settled into the ro

Karel sighed as he heard what the receptionist said, his mind racing to find a solution to his predicament. "Hmm… So the only option that's available is just an extra bed, huh?" Karel said, a hint of frustration in his voice. The receptionist nodded, her eyes sympathetic.“Yes, sir, the only option available right now is the extra bed. But don’t worry, even though you'll be sleeping on an extra bed, we will give you a free breakfast as our apology for any discomfort you might experience—”As the receptionist talked about the inn's apologetic service, Karel, on the other hand, fell silent as he contemplated this option. Sharing a room with the executives wasn't his idea of a peaceful night's sleep given his personality as a picky person who had zero tolerance to someone else's habit."Hm… who should I sleep with? Alan and Mr. Anderson, or Dr. Lou?" Karel thought as pondered about the sleeping candidate. "It will be troublesome if I sleep with Alan and Mr. Anderson remembering how talka

"I know that exposing the lab and Bradley's activities will tarnish the company's reputation, but seriously, destroying Behav... Should we really just stay silent and let them do it?"***The tension in the room was palpable as Greg and Dylan exchanged thoughts about the executives' plan to expose Behav. Greg's brow furrowed as he considered Dylan's words, the weight of their conversation sinking in before saying, "Well, yeah. I guess so...?" Greg said, raising an eyebrow. "I mean...Why should we stop them? Just like what you said, by exposing the company, it will automatically tarnish its reputation. So what's the difference with letting the executives do that instead? Won't it be good since it didn't dirty our hands?"Greg asked, and Dylan nodded thoughtfully as he acknowledged the validity of Greg's points."Well, you're not wrong about that," Dylan admitted before continuing, "However, our purpose is different from theirs Greg. Our purpose in revealing Behav's illicit activities
