Greg frowned as he heard the sobbing on the other end of the line. Confusion swirled in his mind as he tried to process why this person would call him in such a state.“Hi, Who is this? Why are you crying?” Greg asked, but the caller didn’t answer his question and continued to cry.As he considered hanging up, the caller suddenly responded in a choked voice. “Hiks…Greg…It’s me, it’s me, Georgia.”Georgia?“Why did she suddenly call me?” Greg thought, feeling more confused, but he quickly regained his composure, dismissing those thoughts."What do you want?" he asked, in a distant and cold voice."Hiks... Greg,... I... I just want to talk," Georgia managed to say amid her tears. Greg’s eyes narrowed at her request. After all that had happened, she still had the audacity to reach him?“Li—Listen, Greg…I—I know that I hurt you, and I’m really sorry about it. I really do, Greg. But please, now I’m in trouble, and If it’s not you then… I don’t know who else to turn to! Oh… Please Greg, p

“Can you tell me what she looks like?"***Mara looked puzzled as Greg asked her to repeat about the fancy girl she saw at Georgia's house. She furrowed her eyebrows, trying to recall the encounter.“Oh, yeah,” Mara began, “Well, I was waiting for Georgia to answer the door, and while I was standing there… I notice a woman walking down the hallway inside her house. She had this air of confidence and elegance that I couldn’t ignore.”Greg leaned in, his curiosity piqued. “What did she look like?”Mara took a moment to gather her thoughts, trying to paint a picture of the mysterious woman in her mind. “She was wearing a sleek black dress that hugged her figure perfectly. Her hair was long and styled in loose waves, cascading over her shoulders. And… She was carrying a branded purse with the letter ‘H’ on it.”"Is that it? Is there nothing else you remember about their appearance?" " Greg probed further, his mind racing with thoughts.Mara paused, trying to dig deeper into her memory.

What's so hard about letting me live peacefully for once..." the man grumbled, but in the end, he decided to pick up the call.PIP!“Hey! Stop calling me! Haven't I already given you what you want?"…"You want another update?! What do you want to know this time?”…sigh "Alright, alright. Fine! I’ll gather the details you need, but remember, this is the last time, okay? I don’t want to be involved any further.”…“Yeah…Yeah, okay, okay. Without you telling me, I’ll keep an eye on him. After all, it's my duty to keep a watchful eye on him. Now stop calling me. I'm already here, and I don't want to arouse suspicion if he sees me again. He's already suspicious enough as it is."PIP!With the call over, the first voice leaned back, a mix of frustration and concern on its face.“What did I do to get involved in this mess

Time seemed to stand still as Greg’s mind struggled to comprehend what he was seeing. He couldn’t believe his eyes!The waitress at the cafe was dressed like a school girl!Greg blinked, trying to process the sight before him. Was this some kind of costume? A uniform for the cafe? But that’s impossible since no one wears a uniform here.As his mind raced, trying to search for a logical explanation, one of the waitresses noticed his reaction and approached him with a smile."Is there something wrong, sir?" she inquired politely.“Oh, it’s nothing. I just noticed that the waitress over there is wearing a school uniform and I was wondering if she was actually a student,” Greg said. “It’s a bit unusual to see someone in a school uniform working in a cafe, right?”“Ah, I see…” The waitress chuckled lightly. “Well, don’t worry. That waitress is not a student. She’s just a cosplayer. You know how youngsters these days love to cosplay, right? It's a way for her to express herself while workin

KRUUKKKK~~~ Greg immediately stopped in his tracks as he heard the loud rumbling sound. His brows furrowed in confusion, and when he found the school girl, looking embarrassed and apologetic. "I—I'm sorry!" The school girl stammered, her cheeks turning pink. "My stomach's been acting up since morning, and it's making all these weird noises..." she lied, making Greg chuckle. "No need to apologize, it can happen to anyone," he said with a reassuring smile. "Actually… I was planning to grab something to eat. Do you want to join me?" The school girl hesitated for a moment. She couldn't help but feel reluctant with Greg’s offer, remembering he just helped her earlier, and she didn't want to inconvenience him further. "I-I don't want to trouble you, really," The school girl murmured, trying to decline politely. But after she said that, her stomach started rumbling again, and this time, it was louder than before, which made her more embarrassed. Hearing that, Greg raised an eyebrow play

After finishing their meal at the fast-food restaurant, Greg and Tina walked out into the bustling city streets. The cool evening air brought a sense of comfort, and Tina felt a warm gratitude towards Greg for the delightful company and the delicious meal they had shared.“Thank you so much for treating me, Greg. You didn’t have to do this, but you still did it and I really appreciate it,” she said sincerely.“You don’t need to thank me,” Greg replied with a warm smile. “I had a great time, and it's nice to see you enjoy the food.”Tina smiled back, her heart feeling lighter than before. Greg had an air of kindness that made her feel at ease, and she was grateful to have met him. But before they could part ways, Greg had one more thing to say.“You know, Tina,” Greg began, looking thoughtful. “I want you to keep that determination alive. Keep working hard and believing in yourself until you make it to GVR Company. Your dreams are not impossible, and sometimes, it's the belief in ours

The city lights shimmered on the sleek surface of the Bentley as it came to a stop in front of the bar. Greg stepped out of the car, scanning the area. “So this is the place, huh?”Dylan, standing beside him, nodded. "Yes, this is the place," he confirmed, his eyes sharp and vigilant. Greg acknowledged Dylan's response with a nod and began walking toward the entrance of the bar. As he approached, he noticed the vibrant atmosphere inside, the sounds of laughter and clinking glasses filling the air.Meanwhile, in the hidden room not far from the bar, a mysterious figure, shrouded in a dark coat with their face obscured by a hood, received a message on their phone. The message read, "Are the girls ready?"The figure quickly typed a reply, "Yes, they’re ready. I've made all the arrangements, and they'll be ready in ten minutes."The sender responded with a simple, "Good. Keep up the good work. Make sure you don't make any mistake or Mr. Hill will be angry with us."Back at the bar’s ent

Greg and Tina stepped into the private room, where Georgia greeted them with a fake smile. "Ah, Greg, Tina, you made it! Welcome!" she said, her voice dripping with insincerity.Inside the room, the party people turned their attention towards Greg and Tina, offering greetings in eerie harmony. "Hello, Greg! Hi, Tina!" they chimed.Tina shyly greeted back with a nod, feeling a little uncomfortable amidst the rowdy crowd. On the other hand, Greg maintained his composure, giving a curt nod in response.Georgia clapped her hands, trying to create a lively atmosphere. "Come on, everyone, let's celebrate! Drinks for everyone!" she announced, trying to divert the attention away from her hidden agenda.As the guests began to enjoy their drinks, Greg observed the scene cautiously. He knew he had to stay vigilant, as things could take a dangerous turn at any moment. Tina kept close to Greg, looking a bit out of place amidst the crowd.Greg, realizing that Tina needed something to blend in bette

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
