It was late when Greg had just finished his paperwork for Vonicon. He only needed to review his own company documents before he called it a day. Click! "That's should be enough. For now, there’s nothing I can do except wait for their response regarding the plans. I think they will approve it since this project has good advantages for the futures market," Greg muttered as he stretched himself. Now that his job is done, Greg decides to take another look at his underling's files about the Hills and their true motives behind supporting his ex-wife's family. It turned out that all this time they just did it to get the Millens, especially Mr. Millen, on their side so that their son, Victor, could marry Mr.Millen’s daughter, Georgia. Although the whole Millen, except for Mara's father, is just a nobody. The Millen have something that the Hills want on which they might can only get it through Mr. Millen. And that’s a piece of land in the CBD, which belongs to Lord Millen, Georgia's Grandf
"His name… Ah, sorry, for now, the name of the new CEO of Vonicon is being kept secret due to some reason. For now, the new CEO has chosen to be referred to as "The Second Heir". Von Ritcher stated that The Second Heir would most likely be the sole heir in the future who would handle Von Ritcher's companies, considering that Griffin Von Ritcher's condition is currently not possible after that incident. The next news is..." Cklek! "I already do as you say," said Dylan, who had just arrived. "That's great," Greg answered curtly without intending to look away from his document. He had been expecting Dylan's arrival after hearing his footsteps outside of his room. Seeing how relaxed Greg looked after the shocking announcement, Dylan couldn't help but start to sigh deeply. "Hey, uhm… Don’t you kind of feel worried?" Dylan asked carefully. "Worried about what?" Greg replied casually as he flipped through the document and read it contents. "About the announcement," Dylan let another
The next day, Greg went to Vonicon to meet Madeline White, the Vonicon director. Even though he hid his identity, Greg still had to meet and introduce himself to the director as a form of formality, and Greg didn’t mind that idea since he had some plans to do in Vonicon that required the director, which was: Screening the candidates. "The announcement has been a real big hit for Vonicon. Apart from the drastic market increase, the announcement succeeded in getting many people interested in working with Vonicon. They even came to offer cooperation before the office opened." Greg thought as he walked around and looked at the faces of the candidates he might work with one by one. After he became the headline of the news, a lot of people tried to find any information about him and that time,Greg immediately jumped at the opportunity by opening an offer for those who wants to work with Vonicon, considering the company was quite underrated. Luckily, the strategy seemed to be work bec
"Greg??" shouted Victor as soon as he saw him, making Georgia, who heard that immediately, turn around, and that time, she also held the same shock expression like Victor.It was obvious that neither of them had expected to see Greg again, especially not in front of Vonicon!Slowly, Georgia started to recover from her shock as her face morphed into a hateful expression as she looked at her ex-husband’s face disdainfully. It was clear that she was unhappy to see her ex-husband's face again."What are you doing here?" asked Georgia angrily, folding her arms but Greg, who was asked had no intention to answer and just stare lazily at his ex-wife's face.Unlike them, Greg already expect that Georgia and Victor would come to Vonicon after the announcement. How could they not come here to ask for cooperation, considering that the Millen company is now in bad shape. But even though he already guessed it, Greg still hopes that he won't bump into them again because he's lazy to dealing with sh
"Could you tell me who The Second Heir's name is?" asked Greg, which immediately made Victor’s heart stop beating.He didn’t expect that Greg would ask his name!"Damn… Why did this stupid tramp suddenly ask these questions? I underestimate him too much!" mused Victor anxiously as he was starting to regret his words about promising to talk about his good deeds.But not long after, Victor starts to recover from his shock as he laughs sinisterly, "Greg, are you stupid??" said Victor, wiping away his fake tears as he looked at him disdainfully."Tell The Second Heir's name? Do you expect me, his best friend, to spill his name to you? Tsk! No way! Don’t you know that someone as high as him keeps his identity a secret for some important reason, unlike you, a tramp who can be known by anyone!" said Victor, and Greg just nodded his head in understanding."I see, you’re right, but you can at least call him, right?" asked Greg again, making Victor once again shocked."Call The Second Heir?" gu
Madeline immediately fell into complete silence after hearing Greg's words.In all of her years working as the director of Vonicon, Madeline has never faced this kind of serious problem where the CEO suddenly decided to unilaterally terminate all the work contracts from a specific company.Moreover, the company that they ask to terminate has already worked with them for a long time!What did this company just do that made this Second Heir go this far? Did someone from The Hill's family just offend him?Madeline thought before she quickly regained her composure and said,"Okay, Mr. Von Ritcher. I understand. I will order all the staff to no longer work with the Hills, and I will also terminate all of their contracts now," stated Madeline as she rushed out to carry his order. She didn’t want to risk losing her hard-earned position by offending The Second Heir even more!Once Madeline was already out of sight, a small smile started to form on his lips."Now, let’s see… Who’s going to cra
Kring… Kring… PIP [Hi, is he already taking over Vonicon? How does it go?] [So he kicked out The Hill?! Wow, what a great way to start his first day! How’s Madeline's reaction? As far as I know, that woman is pretty strict and a judging type, she must have a bad impression of him!] [Oh, so… Madeline like him, huh? Tsk, all women are same. Always get lured easily by mini attention.] [Alright, for now, let’s just stay silent and keep an eye on him. We just need to wait for the right time to strike. Anyway, I already sent the payment to your account, please check.] [Okay, that’s all I want to ask. I must hang up now, see you later.] PIP! *** "It’s great to know you, Mr. Von Ritcher, and I must admit that your idea about this project is brilliant. I’m really looking forward to working with you." "Same, I’m looking forward to working with you too." After escorting the new collaborator out, Greg went back to his seat to continue his work. But not long after, another knock was hear
"You know she has to work hard for her sick mother, and maybe do some "night jobs" to earn more," said the taller co-worker, making Mara furrow her brows.A night job? What did she mean?"Oh, you’re right, Joy!" exclaimed the shorter co-worker. "I completely forgot about it! Well, let’s ask others, then, hey James,are you—""Hey… Um, excuse me," Said Mara suddenly, making the two co-workers stop as they turned their heads toward her direction. "What do you mean by night jobs? If you're asking whether I'm free at night, I—""Tsk! Don’t you dare act innocent in front of us! Do you think we don’t know what you do every night?" accused Joy, which confused Mara even more. She honestly had no idea what her coworker was saying!Seeing her confused expression, Joy immediately snorted before walking toward Mara."Rumor has it that you used to work as a prostitute. They even say that you managed to get a job here because you seduced our manager in the bar! Hah!I never thought that you would us
