A man appeared and managed to attract everyone's attention, including myself. The man walked with authority, approaching and stopping beside my body. I couldn't stop looking at him because I couldn't believe what I was seeing."Mr. Hawthorne?" I muttered, half-whispering, to him.I don't know how I would look in front of the camera, but I was really surprised. Preston did not tell Mr. Hawthorne that he had improved. I looked at Preston and at Mr. Hawthorne in turn. Preston just smiled before leaving his position."It's all true." Mr. Hawthorne reiterated his sentence."Is it true?" All the media crew immediately turned away from me and gathered around Mr. Hawthorne.I, who had prepared the material to carry out this clarification, just canceled it. All plans changed due to the appearance of Mr. Unexpected Hawthorne. I'm still looking at Mr. Hawthorne and can't believe it. I was both stunned and shocked by it all."What you want to know, I will answer now." Mr. Hawthorne continued his
When Preston and I were panicking about taking care of Mr. Hawthorne, who had been lying on the floor for two minutes, Mrs. Victoria and Spencer didn't do anything. They just stood and looked at us expressionlessly. I really wanted to scream at them and immediately seek help. However, what can I do? I'm nothing, right?"Mr. Hawthorne, hold on. Please," I whispered.I tried to listen to Mr. Hawthorne by putting my ear close. I can still feel it bit by bit, even though it's very weak. I looked back at Preston, who had finished walking around looking for and calling for help."Preston, how is it?" I asked again."In a moment, they will be here. I'll let you go downstairs, sir." Preston was informed immediately."Okay, hurry!" I panicked even more when I saw no movement at all from Mr. Hawthorne."There's no need to look so worried," explained Mrs. Victoria in an annoying tone.I didn't look back at him at all or even respond to his words. I was trying to hold back my emotions, which had
"Get out of here!" Mrs. Hawthorne shouted like he was right at home. "Go out!""Madam, please don't scream in the hospital." The doctor, who had been a silent witness, spoke."Go out!" Mrs. Hawthorne didn't care what the doctor said at all.Finally, I had no other choice but to leave. Preston also followed me out, leaving Mrs. Hawthorne and Spencer. I came out, then looked at Preston with mixed feelings."Why would you do that? They would definitely be mad at me, I can't do this, Preston. I can't take it all," I explained quickly. "Now the paper is torn, so I'm free from all this."Preston just listened to me without replying to what I said. I turned away from him and walked away. Preston followed me in silence until I felt uncomfortable and turned around."Why are you still following me? I have no ties to any of this." I confirmed it irritably."But the will cannot be changed, sir. Whatever happens, you will still be Mr. Hawthorne's heir and successor." Preston didn't give up and kep
That night, I slept completely alone in a very large house. If people are allowed to come in, at least 30 people will live in this house, not including household assistants. I slept in the main bedroom, which had been renovated and replaced with everything newer. I don't know when they got around to doing this.I stared at the ceiling while muttering to myself, "Mom, look at me now as a person who suddenly became successful. Oh, no, but rich because of the inheritance from Mr. Hawthrone."I took a deep breath before continuing my sentence, "I don't know what I should do with all this. However, I consider this a gift. So, I will try to look after it carefully."Immediately, I thought that my mother, Ms. Olivia, and Mr. Hawthorne were meeting. I imagined it and started to guess what they were talking about now. Do they still love each other, or do they hate each other?"Mr. Hawthorne, take good care of my mother, okay?" I smiled before the sleepiness came over me.I closed my eyes and f
I returned to the place where Samantha and I first met. This time, not at night but during the day. The atmosphere in this place is a little different because there are no visitors yet, apart from the staff who are starting to clean each room and get ready."Please come in," said the guard, who was different from before.I bowed and walked into Beaumont High. When we got inside, there was another bodyguard wearing almost the same formal clothes as me. "Through this way."The guard led me into a long hallway that reached the back of the building. There is a special room where it is written that entry is prohibited. The bodyguard opened the door for me, and then I went inside."Thank you," I said, walking into the dimly lit room.I glanced around the room and saw Samantha sitting with a half-finished bottle of wine and a spinning glass in her hand. I walked over to her and called her name, "Samantha."Samantha immediately turned her face towards me while stopping the movement of the gla
"Preston, please clear the schedule after lunch." I said this to Preston while looking at my watch. "I will meet with Heather's family to arrange our cooperation.""Yes sir." Preston nodded before holding the elevator door open so I could get out.I walked with authority towards my office. I unbuttoned my jacket in the middle. Preston helped open the door to my room while delivering the briefcase to the work desk. I saw that there were piles of files still left on the table."Thank you, Preston." I never forget to say that."My pleasure, sir." Preston bowed before walking out and returning to his desk, which was located in front of my room.I sat in a work chair that was no longer comfortable for me. When I sit in this chair, I must be ready to face all the things that come up regarding the company. I also need to check everything and make sure everything is running well."Excuse me, Mr. Hawthorne." An employee's voice was heard after knocking on the door three times.I raised my head
Samantha arrived in the basement with files in her right hand and a sling bag slung over her shoulder. Samantha left Haw & Co. and got into a white Mercedes-Benz car. Samantha put all her things in the chair next to her, fastened her seat belt, and locked the door before starting the engine.Samantha immediately drove her car out of the parking lot and onto the main road. Samantha intends to return to the office and meet her father to give him the cooperation documents between her company and Haw & Co."Shit!" Samantha honked and swore when a car suddenly cut in front of her car.Samantha Heather, a beautiful woman who has an attractive appearance and an aura that can attract many people, is the only child and sole heir of the Heather family. Even though Samantha is only 19 years old, she has been taught to run her family business while studying. Samantha is a smart and multi-talented child, so it is not difficult for her to do both."Welcome, Ms. Samantha." The company security guard
The next day, Samantha woke up as usual and immediately cleaned herself. Samantha showered, got ready, and went downstairs to have breakfast together. Samantha's family rarely misses breakfast and dinner together. Samantha and Mr. Heather try to finish their assignments before dinner is scheduled."Good morning, Mom and Dad." Samantha approached her parents and hugged them while giving them a short kiss."Good morning, dear." Mrs. Heather answered with a smile and started preparing plates to eat.Samantha was wearing clothes that were much different than what she usually wore to the office. Samantha wore a short-sleeved t-shirt, high-waisted jeans, outerwear, and a tote bag containing a book and laptop. Samantha sat next to Mrs. Heather and got ready to eat."Samantha just ate a little breakfast, mom; I'm afraid of nausea." Samantha told her because her body had been feeling bad since last night."Are you sick, darling?" Mr. Heather asked worriedly.Mrs. Heather got a medium-sized pot
