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,
Harold observed Christian’s actions closely, looking for any unusual behavior, but he found none.Christian’s calm demeanor and his serene expression made Harold lose his suspicions. He decided to take a seat about 5 meters away from Christian.Zofia’s private driver and the production head stood on Christian’s right and left sides. Their faces were tense, as they couldn’t figure out how to ensure Christian’s safety without a scratch.About 15 minutes later, Diego finally arrived in front of the old house.A security guard spotted Diego’s arrival, carrying a backpack suspected to contain money.“He’s here. He’s alone!” the security guard informed.Harold smiled with satisfaction. He said, “Open the door and let him in!”The security guard followed Harold’s command.Diego walked in, his eyes sharply fixed forward, displaying himself as a cold-blooded killer.Then, Diego entered the house, and the security guard promptly closed the door.“Mr. Demetri, I have arrived!” Diego said, bowing
If it’s true that the samples and secret materials are still missing, it would be extremely dangerous, both for this project and ChrisCrafter Ltd..If the person who got hold of the secret material can figure out the composition of Pommes Frites, they’ll surely replicate the product and market it. This would disrupt the Pommes Frites market, especially if the stolen product is sold at a lower price.The thin man nodded and said, “The stolen secret material consists of 2 boxes, or more precisely, one full box and half a box. As for the sample product, it’s as tall as my chest and weighs 1 kilogram, which is clearly insufficient based on its height alone.”Zofia tapped her forehead, her face turning pale, and she began to panic again. “Oh... what should we do? We need to find it.”Christian immediately called Diego.“Diego, please ask Harold where the remaining secret material and sample products of Pommes Frites are. He’s still hiding it from me. Do whatever it takes to make him talk!”
Seeing Mateusz’s figure, Zofia pointed at the man and said, “Get down here quickly!”“No manners at all! Is this how you speak to your little brother? Do you still have the attitude of an older sister towards him?” Manuel exclaimed, disapproving of Zofia’s ungraceful demeanor as a woman.“What?” Zofia paused for a moment, furrowing her brow. “In that case, ask him if he has the attitude of a younger brother in front of me. Without any clear reason, he’s already taken off with samples of Pommes Frites products and their secret ingredients. That’s truly an outstanding attitude!”At this point, Zofia’s patience had run out. She reluctantly said this to her father.Zofia turned her gaze back to Mateusz and said, “Quick, tell me, where are those samples?”“Oh... my sweet sister. We are a family, so what’s yours is also mine. What harm can a few samples do to you?” Mateusz appeared unconcerned and indifferent. He then slowly walked down the stairs. Once at the bottom, he sat next to his mot
