"So, this is the place, huh?" she murmured to herself, awestruck by its commanding presence.Just as she had seen in Google images, the building stood tall and resolute, emanating an aura of success and power. Its glass windows glistened, reflecting the sunlight and casting an enchanting dance of light and shadow. But amidst the breathtaking sight, a surge of uncertainty washed over Mara. How could a seemingly ordinary company like Millen strike a deal with a mega-corporation like Vonicon?With Vonicon's reputation alone, Mara could infer that any company fortunate enough to collaborate with them must be on a global scale, like GVR Sub Company.

Greg now sat in his office, looking deep in thought. He didn't know if it was just his feeling or not, but somehow... He felt like someone was watching him. "Hmmm... Not only today, but I've been feeling like this ever since I first arrived," Greg pondered, his mind filled with curiosity before the door suddenly swung open, and Dylan came to the room. "Hey, Greg. Just a quick reminder, the meeting is in a few minutes," he said. "Ah, alright. I'll be ready in a moment," Greg replied, rising from his seat. "By the way, Dylan?" "Yes?" "Besides you… Did Father send anyone else to keep an eye on me?" "No, it's just me. Your father only trusts me since I’m the only one who can handle you," said Dylan. "Why? Has something happened?” "Meh, it's nothing. I'm just curious. That's all.” After finishing his preparations, Greg and Dylan swiftly left the office. As they stood outside, Greg cast a final glance at the towering Vonicon building. "I hope it's just my imagination, and there's

As the room fell into stunned silence, Mara could sense the weight of disbelief and shock emanating from the Millen family and the others present. Gasps and wide eyes filled the space as the reality of the collaboration sank in. Georgia, unable to accept the truth, broke the silence with a strained voice, "This... This can't be happening. How is it possible? We've tried so hard, and yet..." George's eyes darted between Mara and the employee, his skepticism slowly giving way to astonishment. "I... I don't understand. How did you manage to secure such a massive deal? It's beyond anything we anticipated." Even Victor, who had been so adamant that securing the contract was impossible, stood there in disbelief. His face contorted with a mix of surprise, admiration, and a hint of resentment towards Mara. Grandma Millen, who had been reveling in Mara's supposed failure, suddenly found her smug expression replaced with a mix of surprise and annoyance. She struggled to find her words as h

As soon as Greg and Mara bid farewell at the restaurant, Greg made his way back to his apartment. Upon stepping inside, he noticed Dylan already waiting for him in the living room, comfortably settled on the sofa."Hey, it's unusual for you to suddenly call me at night. What happened?" Dylan inquired, his curiosity piqued. His gaze then shifted to the bag Greg was holding. "And what's that you're holding?""It's just some leftover food from the restaurant. We ordered way too much," Greg replied, placing the bag on the kitchen table. "Anyway, there's wagyu inside it, in case you're interested."Dylan's eyes immediately lit up at the mention of wagyu. "Of course, I'm interested! I've been craving it for a while," he exclaimed, heading towards the kitchen counter to grab the bag.While Dylan indulged in the delicious food, he turned to Greg and asked, his mouth full, "Are you sure you don't want any?""Nope. I had enough during dinner. It's all yours," Greg said, briefly messaging his s

George returned home with a big smile on his face. He couldn't believe what he just heard as he looked at the photo on his phone! "Mara... and Greg... Who would have guessed that these two lowly people know each other?" George mused, a mix of disbelief and satisfaction in his thoughts. It seemed almost unbelievable, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of delight at this unexpected revelation. Somehow, the mere possession of this photo had managed to brighten George's day, erasing the frustrations that had weighed on him earlier. It was as if a stroke of luck had washed away his previous discontent, replacing it with a renewed sense of purpose.

Greg now found himself preparing for The Millen party, a place he never thought he would set foot in again. A crooked smile tugged at his lips as he pondered the irony of the situation. Who would have known that he, the one they once looked down upon as a tramp and a trash son-in-law, would return to this very place? Unpleasant memories of his divorce and the judgment he faced resurfaced in Greg's mind. The disdainful glances, the whispers behind his back—all of it came rushing back. But Greg was determined not to let those memories tarnish his evening. As he adjusted his tie, the door to his room swung open, and Dylan walked in with his usual nonchalant demeanor. "Ready to go?" Dylan asked, his eyes scanning Greg's choice of attire. Greg nodded confidently. "I'm all set. Let's get this show on the road." Dylan's gaze settled on the old blazer Greg had chosen to wear, and a look of mild disbelief crossed his face. "Seriously, out of all the clothes you have, you had to pick th
