Yve was surprised to hear that Val knew she was lying.“Oh, come on! I didn’t lie! Don’t make things up!” Yve said, trying to cover up her lie.But the more she tried to cover up and avoid, the more apparent it became that she was lying.“Hahaha... you’re really funny. Right now, I regret my decision back then. If only I had accepted you as my girlfriend, maybe I would be your husband now, and we would be living happily together,” Val said.The word “happy” used by Val was a sarcastic reference to Yve’s married life with Christian.Looking at Yve now, it could be said that she was cursed and had the misfortune of marrying Christian.Yve chuckled slightly, shaking her head and waving her hand. “No... it wouldn’t have been like that. I doubt we would have lasted from dating to marriage. I’m pretty sure there are many women around you, willing to do anything to snatch you away from me. I probably wouldn’t have been able to handle seeing my partner surrounded by beautiful women.”Now, the
The voice emitted by Christian was still very gentle. He tried to suppress his jealousy deeply just to avoid embarrassing Yve.Certainly, if he created a scene, Yve would be the one most embarrassed.Both Yve and Val were equally surprised to see Christian in front of them.Val felt extremely awkward at the moment. In reflex, he shifted his seat away from Yve.Christian’s gaze was sharp towards Val’s eyes. However, when he looked at Yve, his gaze seemed very cool.But due to Yve being influenced by alcohol, she couldn’t think clearly and became emotional.With narrowed eyes, Yve said, “Christian! Where did you come from? How did you know I was here?”“Forgive me, earlier I didn’t answer your call because I was in the middle of a job that I had to finish as quickly as possible. So, I put my phone on silent, intending not to be disturbed and to finish my work quickly,” Christian explained, giving a reason for not answering the voice call made by Yve.“Is it not important enough for you
Christian chased after along with his subordinates until they reached the front of the club. Not finding Yve there, they searched the parking lot. However, Yve’s car was no longer there.From the end of the parking lot, Dorota approached Christian.“Mr. Demetri, what’s going on? You seem really panicked,” Dorota asked.Christian didn’t answer Dorota’s question and instead asked, “Have you seen Yve?”Dorota nodded while saying, “She just left in her car. What’s going on with Mrs. Yve? Did you guys have a fight? Because earlier, I saw Mrs. Yve driving away in a hurry.”Again, Christian didn’t answer Dorota’s questions. He chose to run towards his Rolls Royce parked at the far end of the parking lot, where Dorota had come from.Dorota ran towards Christian. Meanwhile, Christian’s three subordinates ran in the opposite direction towards their own car.And then, both cars immediately left the J&F Club.Christian directed his car towards Yve’s house at high speed, just like the car carrying
A week’s time was undeniably short, but Christian wasn’t afraid at all. He could already gauge the strength possessed by Ravon, and he was confident he could defeat him.Christian continued his steps towards his private room to rest.Tonight, he slept soundly. However, when he woke up, his body felt sore and achy all over. It was the effect of yesterday’s training that truly drained his energy.He really wanted to take a day off from work today, but as he was about to go back to sleep after using the bathroom, Zofia contacted him and asked him to come to the Grecia factory.“Can’t it be tomorrow? My body is sore all over,” Christian reasoned.“No, we have to discuss this now. As for your sore body, I’ll give you a massage later, don’t worry!” Zofia said, not giving Christian any chance to have an excuse not to come.“Ah, okay... I’ll come there!” Christian replied.Then he ended the call and threw his phone onto the bed. He stood up and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.After f
Christian’s thoughts were indeed thoughtful and well-calculated. In this case, observing competitors’ developments was crucial to determine future actions.Zofia nodded and then turned to her secretary, who was nearby.“Give me the file!” Zofia said to her personal secretary.The secretary then handed over a file containing a report on the Innovations Group’s products, which were now fully acquired by Mateusz.Zofia then handed the report file to Christian, saying, “Here’s the report, Sir.”Christian took the file and began reading it.“So, their products are now fully taken over by Mateusz. Their production was halted for almost a week due to the ownership transfer. Innovations Group had to withdraw a day after Baltazar’s death. Daniel Innovations claimed that the product did not perform well and decided to terminate the collaboration established with Mateusz and Baltazar,” Zofia explained.Christian read the report while listening to Zofia’s explanation.“And when they re-released t
Val appeared uneasy upon hearing the news. If it were true, it meant that Christian was not the trashy man that many people had known him to be.Had he changed?Yve read the message written by Christian on the greeting card.“Have a great day, Honey. Always stay motivated, okay!”Just simple words, but they meant a lot to Yve.It turned out Dorota was right earlier this morning; giving gifts would make a couple happy and feel appreciated. Even though it wasn’t a luxurious or expensive gift, what mattered most was the sincerity.Yve immediately grabbed her phone and called Christian. It seemed like she forgot about Val’s presence in the room, ignoring him for Christian.Without waiting long, Christian answered the call.“Hello, Christian, did you send me flowers?” Yve asked cheerfully as Christian answered the call.“Oh, yes. Have they arrived already? Wow, that was fast,” Christian replied.Yve nodded as if she were talking directly to Christian so he could see her gestures.“Just arr
Yang Lee was astonished when he saw Christian stepping forward, carrying a bucket full of water.The power in Christian’s footstep seemed to develop rapidly even though he had only practiced once.“He’s truly blessed with a special gift! It’s amazing!” exclaimed Lee.Although Lee was impressed, he didn’t express it to Christian. He didn’t want Christian to be influenced by it, so he wouldn’t lose enthusiasm for training. Yes, even though yesterday he remained enthusiastic despite being told that he had a gift not given by God to just anyone.After taking water with the bucket three times, Lee intended to stop Christian. However, he refrained from doing so because Christian still seemed enthusiastic and had enough energy.It was only after taking water five times that Lee stopped Christian, who was about to go down again.“That’s enough, Christian! Take a break!” shouted Lee.Christian nodded his head. Then he put the bucket back in its place and walked following Lee.The two of them t
Mateusz seemed to be suffering from a mental disorder. He started slamming the ashtray and glasses on his father’s table. Of course, Mateusz’s actions infuriated Manuel. Without mercy, he delivered punches to his son’s face, causing him to fall. Though Manuel was quite old, he had trained in martial arts, and to this day, he still enjoyed practicing. On the other hand, Mateusz had no martial arts foundation whatsoever. When he received a blow from his father, he immediately fell. “You disrespectful child! I’ve done everything you wanted, even spent a considerable amount of money just for you. But you dare to be so disrespectful to me!” Manuel shouted. The commotion in Manuel’s office prompted Carmen to enter and check what was happening. Upon seeing Mateusz on the floor, she approached him and scolded Manuel. “Manuel! What are you doing to Mateusz? Did you hit him?” Carmen asked loudly. Manuel glared with a flushed face. Then he said, “You should be asking your spoiled child tha
