Christian was taken aback when he heard Belinda asking for so much money.“Are you crazy? Is that much money just to make you keep quiet?” Christian asked.Belinda nodded her head and said, “If you want to, give it to me. But if you don’t want to, then don’t give it to me. It’s as simple as that.”Christian shook his head. He couldn’t give Belinda that much money.“I won’t give you that money!” Christian exclaimed, then walked out of his wife’s office.Yve was checking her phone when Christian arrived.“Let’s go; we’re leaving!” Christian said.“Where were you? You took so long,” Yve asked, putting her phone back into her bag.Christian was unsure of how to respond. Suddenly, Belinda’s voice came from behind, “That’s right, Miss. Earlier, Mr. Christian was asking me questions.”Christian immediately turned around and stared at Belinda.However, the woman just smiled and appeared unfazed by Christian’s anger.“Oh, what was he asking about?” Yve inquired.Belinda was about to speak, but
Mateusz tapped Donilok on the shoulder and said, “We should sit down.”Both men then took their seats next to each other. Yve and Christian also joined them.Yve made an effort to be polite and show her respect to Mateusz, despite his higher social status. “You tend to be too brutally honest and speak your mind without considering other people’s feelings. Even though Yve’s husband is only responsible for cleaning the house, you shouldn’t say that in public like this. You could hurt his self-esteem and dignity,” Mateusz advised.Donilok shrugged and replied, “I’m just stating the truth. Is that wrong?”“The truth, even if bitter, should be accepted. In reality, if Yve could be happier with you because you’re a member of the Kowalska family, I think everyone would agree, including Yve and Christian,” Donilok continued.Mateusz leaned back in his chair, his right hand on the table, playfully tapping his fingers on the dining table with a smile.“Yes... in terms of the truth, what you sa
Christian couldn’t control his emotions. That old motorcycle wasn’t just a means of transportation to him; it was like a part of his soul. He had gone through all sorts of situations with the motorcycle, most of which were bitter, creating an emotional bond with it.Therefore, he was furious when he found his motorcycle in such a wrecked state, and the person who should have been looking after it was acting foolish.“Wes... what’s going on here? Playing rough, are we?” asked the parking attendant, raising both of his hands.Without saying much, Christian slammed the man with a single move.Thud!The parking attendant hit the asphalt with his back, leaving him struggling to breathe.“You’re responsible for the parking area. It’s impossible for you not to know what happened. So, now you better tell me who damaged my bike. Or else, I will beat it out of you!” Christian yelled with a restrained voice.Yve pulled Christian’s arm, trying to calm him down.“Christian, calm down, don’t resort
Mateusz indeed had a quick temper. He didn’t hesitate to raise his voice with his sister, Zofia.Zofia shook her head and said, “I’m not underestimating you, but I don’t want you to take over the procurement of the new machines because I don’t want the incidents of the past to happen again. Instead of benefiting the company, you’re taking money that makes the company incur losses.”Mateusz quickly thought of a way to refute what Zofia said to make his actions seem reasonable.“Well, I’m not embezzling or corrupting. I’m just taking my rightful payment because I’ve handled all the necessary work from start to finish. Is it unreasonable for me to ask for payment? You also hold the position of the CEO of Kowalska, and you get a salary, right?” Mateusz retorted, not wanting to be blamed.Zofia said, “If you took it at a reasonable value, I wouldn’t have an issue with it. But in the last two projects, you took nearly half of the project’s value. That’s not a payment; it’s corruption.”Mate
Zofia was extremely annoyed with her younger brother, who had accused her of various things about Christian’s life in front of their team at ChrisCrafter Ltd..“Mateusz, I’ll remind you once again to watch your words. Mr. Demetri is responsible for the project and leads ChrisCrafter Ltd. in US. Accusing me of having a special relationship with him is the same as accusing Mr. Demetri of infidelity,” Zofia said in a raised voice.When Zofia explained Christian’s position, Mateusz was instantly surprised. He didn’t expect that the useless man who had earned the title of the De Delta Family’s son-in-law could be in charge of the project and lead ChrisCrafter Ltd..“What? That useless guy is in charge of the project? Are you sure you’re not mistaken, Sis?” Mateusz asked with wide eyes and an open mouth due to his shock.Zofia shook her head and said, “I’m definitely not mistaken. Mr. Demetri is in charge of the project. So, I hope you can treat him with respect.”Christian, who had been si
Mateusz leaned his face towards Harold. Then he whispered to the middle-aged man.It was apparent from the movement of his lips that Mateusz was speaking slowly. It seemed like he wanted every word he spoke to be understood by Harold.The man’s facial expression immediately changed, as if he had just received significant news. Both his eyes and mouth widened.“Just like that, and you’ll get 100 million from me. So, what do you say? If you don’t want it, I can find someone else,” Mateusz asked with a mysterious smile on his face.Harold didn’t immediately answer the question, but instead, he thought for a moment. The job offered by Mateusz carried very high risks, but it was commensurate with the amount of money offered.“That’s a lot of money, you know. It would take you about 2 years to earn that if you don’t spend a dime of your monthly salary here,” Mateusz said, persuading.Money is something hard to resist, especially with such a large sum.And now, Harold felt the irresistible a
A security guard with a large build but not-so-tall stature, standing at only 168 centimeters, quickly contacted his fellow security guards via the handy-talky.“Report, there’s been a theft of confidential material and Pommes Frites sample products by Mr. Harold. We need to act quickly to catch him. The last time Mr. Harold was seen was about 5 minutes ago passing through the factory gate!”The report sent shockwaves through the security personnel, causing them to panic.“Message received; we will pursue Mr. Harold!”“We’re ready to chase him!”Responses from the other security guards echoed one after the other.Now, the security personnel rushed to chase after Mr. Harold.“Where could that thief be heading?”“It’s better if we spread out to limit his movements and find him quickly.”“Alright.”The ten security personnel divided and spread out in different directions around the factory.Meanwhile, the security personnel in charge of the CCTV cameras provided further instructions to t
The head of production immediately panicked when he saw the closed door of the house. Zofia’s personal driver was equally frantic.Both of them, for some reason, sought refuge behind Christian, as if they knew that Christian had high martial arts skills and could protect them.However, despite having a bad feeling, Christian tried to remain calm because the people inside were Kowalska factory security personnel.“Where’s Mr. Harold? Where are the Pommes Frites samples and the stolen secret ingredients?” Christian asked.No one answered Christian’s question. All the security personnel remained silent.Christian observed the security personnel, who had unusual expressions on their faces. This only intensified Christian’s unease.What was really going on?Shortly after, a man emerged from behind the house with a smug expression.“I heard someone was looking for me earlier. Who is he?” Harold asked with an annoying look on his face.The head of security nodded towards Christian and said,
