Megan arrived at the hotel basement 20 minutes after walking from where she was dropped off. Megan immediately got into the car and then drove home. The streets were very quiet - of course, it was the middle of the night, and only a few cars could be seen passing Megan.As soon as she arrived in front of the gate, Megan honked her horn, and the house guard immediately ran out, opening the gate. Megan parked in the garage, then gave her car keys to the housekeeper. "Please prepare it tomorrow morning, sir," said Megan."Yes, Miss." Housekeeper Megan nodded while receiving her car keys.Megan walked into the house through the side door and walked straight to her room. However, his steps stopped when he heard a noise coming from the kitchen. Megan gave up her intention and went back down the stairs, then walked towards the kitchen. Megan saw her father, who was busy making drinks.Megan smiled. "What are you making, Dad?"Mr. Collins immediately lifted his chin and was surprised to see M
I was standing in front of the mirror, buttoning the two buttons on my arms. The cell phone, which was still lying on the nightstand beside the bed, rang. I immediately finished buttoning the right side before grabbing it and looking at the caller's name."Mr. Hawthorne," I muttered before picking up the phone. "Hello, Mr. Hawthorne?""Theo, what happened?" Mr. Hawthorne immediately asked in a tense voice. "Why are our two investors releasing their funds from the company? What are you doing?"I knew that this news would quickly reach Mr. Hawthorne, but not so fast either. I haven't prepared an answer at all, and I haven't prepared myself to respond to it. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hawthorne. I'll fix it right away.""I'm going back now, don't do anything. I need to know what's really going on." Mr. Hawthorne made no compromises and said it straight out.I could only sigh and reply, "Okay, Mr. Hawthorne."Mr. Hawthorne immediately turned off the phone. I looked at the screen and put it back on t
I came to the office thirty minutes earlier than work time. I walked towards the elevator and intended to enter my room. However, on the way, a product staff member ran up to me, panting for breath."Mr. Hawthorne," he called, bowing his body."Yes, what is up?" I asked casually, and half my life had not yet been fully collected."We would like to inform you that new products currently in development cannot be finalized." The staff said it clearly in one breath."What's wrong? How come? What's the problem?" All these questions appeared at once in my head."The product's raw materials are destroyed and cannot be repaired." The staff explained with a very guilty expression."How could it be destroyed?" I really wanted to vent my emotions, but I tried to control it and took a deep breath. "Okay, take me to the production room now."One problem has not been resolved, and another has arrived. I couldn't understand what the problem was with me or this company after I took over. I don't want
I got a phone call from Mr. Hawthorne, but when I brought it up, he didn't say anything. "Hello, Mr. Hawthorne?"I waited for a while but couldn't hear anything. There were faint sounds of passing vehicles and car horns. I suspect Mr. Hawthorne was still on his way home. I decided to give my phone to Preston."Preston, Mr. Hawthorne called, but he didn't say anything. Please confirm where Mr. Hawthorne is now.""Yes, sir." Preston took the cell phone I gave him and took care of the rest.Work in the production room is progressing much faster than before. More than half of the total production estimate has been met. Everyone in the room was working very hard and hadn't even had time to rest at all. The wall clock showed ten o'clock in the evening."How many more products need to be completed?" I asked a staff member who had a job doing packing."There are still 30 left, once that's done, Mr." The staff answered confidently while looking at the 170 products that were ready."Okay," I sa
Preston managed to contact Mrs. Hawthorne and Spencer. Hearing this news, the two of them immediately came, accompanied by Landon and Mrs. Hawthorne. I waited in front of Mr. Hawthorne, while Preston decided to wait at the hospital door.It was already 1 in the morning. My eyes, which previously felt sore and sleepy, are now lost in the midst of this chaos. Before long, I could see Mrs. Hawthorne, Spencer, and Preston. I stood up politely and greeted them."Evening, Mrs." I was greeted with a soft voice.Mrs. Hawthorne looked at me with puffy eyes. From there, I knew Mrs. Hawthorne had cried on the way here. Of course, who wouldn't be sad if their family, especially their husband, fell ill like this?"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Hawthorne immediately attacked me with harsh words."Mrs., Mr. Theo was the first to find out about Mr. Hawthorne's condition." Preston tried to answer politely from behind Mrs. Hawthorne."Shut up! I'm talking to this bastard." Mrs. Hawthorne was still ang
The atmosphere in this room feels very different. The room feels a little more crowded and makes me tired if I'm inside for too long. The lights, music, and smells made me tempted to go inside. It's not all that flashy, but it's lit enough for me."Please," said the bartender, who greeted me warmly. "Is there anything you want to order?""Red wine." I answered without thinking and said what came to mind."Okay." The bartender immediately moved and gave me a glass of red wine in a very beautiful glass."Thank you," I said, accepting it and taking one sip.After taking a sip and going down my throat, I took out the medicines I kept in my pocket. I pulled the gauze as long as I needed and tore it. I poured some red medicine on it and then rubbed it onto the corner of the torn lip."Shh," I hissed, feeling the pain.I put the gauze containing the dried red medicine next to my drink. I took another sip of the red wine I ordered without thinking about anything. I just want to calm my mind f
Preston, who was left behind by Theo, immediately hailed a passing taxi. Luckily, the taxi was empty, and Preston finally got into the taxi, then headed back to the hospital. Preston rushes back to the hospital and pays the taxi fare with the money Theo gave him."Thank you, sir." Preston jumped out of the cab and into the hospital.Just as he was about to enter, Preston ran into Landon. Landon seemed to be in a hurry to get out of the hospital. Preston looked at him, confused, and Landon stopped. “Please take care of Mr. Hawthorne, Mrs. I will take Hawthorne and Mr. Spencer home to rest."Hearing that explanation, Preston immediately nodded his head and answered, "Okay, be careful.""Yes, please let me know if there is any new news from Mr. Hawthorne.”"Of course," said Preston lightly, patting his coworker on the shoulder.Meanwhile, Landon went to the parking lot, Preston returned to the hospital, and Mr. Hawthorne entered. Preston waited patiently while playing with his cellphone
At 8:30 in the morning, all the invited guests had arrived at the Haw & Co. hall with great enthusiasm. I was still hanging around and making sure the staff were in their positions. Don't forget, I also commanded them via HT, which was connected to each other.The receptionists greeted them, asked them to fill in their personal data, and then invited them to see the cosmetic gallery that was on display. There are also several clothes and bags—the newest products and new ones—that will be launched not long after this."Welcome, please have a look." I greeted several guests who had passed me."Thank you," said those who didn't know me very well.I have to be able to handle this event alone, while Preston has to wait for Mr. Hawthorne in the hospital. I asked for help from the head of the marketing team to back me up if any problems occurred beyond my control, as well as taking Preston's place. I saw all the guests who came, and many of them I didn't know."Sir, we will open in twenty mi
