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
Spencer, with a happy heart, immediately took Samantha to his car. Don't forget, Samantha sent a short message to the driver to wait because she had some business to do. Samantha tried to keep up with Spencer, who was in front of her."Please come in," said Spencer as he opened the door of the white sedan."Thank You." Samantha didn't comment and immediately got into the car, sitting in the front passenger seat.Samantha hugged her tote bag and then buckled her seat belt. Meanwhile, Spencer ran to the driver's seat and started the engine. Samantha didn't ask many questions or engage Spencer in conversation because there weren't any topics she wanted to discuss."Have you had breakfast? Is there anything you want to eat now?" Spencer asked, trying to break the silence between him and Samantha."Yes," answered Samantha briefly. "I'm not used to eating lunch.""Oh, I see, okay. Then let's just go to the cafe and eat something light." Spencer tries to decide where they should go."Hm." Th
"Preston, do we have a monthly meeting agenda today?" I asked as I walked out of the elevator and towards the entrance of my room."Tomorrow, sir." Preston answered confidently as he carried my briefcase into the room, then placed it beside the table."Oh, okay, then what's on the agenda for today? Is there anything that hasn't been finished yet?" I can no longer remember the little things I have to complete."Today there will be a cosmetic rebranding promotion, and then there will be lunch with top officials, then closing with checking out the new clothing store branch in the city center." Preston read my to-do list in great detail."Okay, then. Thank you very much, Preston." I nodded my head before undoing one of the buttons on my jacket and sitting in the chair."You're welcome, I'll excuse myself." Preston bowed before leaving my room.Today, I spend a lot of time outdoors. I'm just checking the monthly reports that come in before we hold our monthly meeting tomorrow. Half past el
"So, actually, the news is true. I am Mr. Hawthorne's son, but not Ms. Victoria." I took a pause and watched their reactions."Then, does that mean you were born from Mr. Hawthorne's mistress?" The man sitting in front of me immediately chided me with the next question."Mr. Hawthorne is not having an affair," I answered, hoping not to lead to bad opinions about Mr. Hawthorne. Hawthorne."If you didn't cheat, how could you be born?" The same man still insults me."Listen to the explanation first, Mr. Theo." Hilton tried to mediate between us and give me space to talk.I can only look at Hilton and thank him silently. Hilton looked back at me and gave me a look to continue my explanation."I don't know what happened to them, but at that time Mr. Hawthorne and my mother met at Beaumont High." I finally told him everything I knew regarding their relationship."Does that mean your mother is a prostitute?" Another man immediately responded in disbelief.Hilton immediately looked at the man
