The whole place turned to be a shadow of what it usually was, and everyone was silent. It was just the murmurs and whispers that could be heard. The receptionist, still on her knees, couldn't close her mouth from the shock she received when Luca defended her and slapped Grey Shanks! She involuntarily let out a gasp, unable to contain her astonishment anymore. Her hands were beginning to tremble uncontrollably at the thought of getting kicked out together with Luca, who had just defended her.

She knows Grey was capable of making the main boss sack Luca at once. She became nervous, and the sound of her breathing could be heard by her own self. It was pounding heavily as she contemplated. "Will they fire him?"

Meanwhile, Derick blinked rapidly and leaned in closer, squinting his eyes to be sure of what had just happened. He was shocked to his core, and it was visible in his face. He glanced at Grey, who was still standing with one hand to his cheek. He couldn't believe that a mere manage

    Luca rolled his eyes and walked up to the receptionist. "Are you okay?" he asked, concern etched across his face.The lady shook her head. "Yes, I am okay," she responded. "Please let it all go. Grey shanks is too rich to meddle with."Luca simply smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. Go and make yourself comfortable, and go to the infirmary for some pain killers"The lady was slightly shocked and confused. Does it mean Luca doesn't care about Grey shanks or even getting fired from his job? She didn't go to the infirmary; instead, she went over to where most of her fellow workers were."Jane, I am sorry for what happened," said one of them. "Just let it go, you know Grey shanks will always be a useless asshole!"They both laughed before she replied, "I know. I just hope the new manager doesn't lose his job trying to save me. I feel bad for him already; it looks like he doesn't know who Grey shanks is.”For a few moments, Grey stood watching Luca help his receptionist up. His express

    CHAPTER 57.Meeting Rose Edward. Luca quickly smiled, trying to diffuse the awkwardness of the whole scene playing out in front of him."Hey Rose, what brought you here?" He asked innocently.Grey was shocked. He turned to Rose and inquired, "Do you know him?"Rose stammered through her words, trying to articulate herself as she explained, "Y-yes, I do know him. I mean, I know him through my sister, she is acquainted with him somehow." She lied.Actually, she didn't see any valid reason to announce him as her brother-in-law; she didn't want Grey to know."Luca!" She turned to him. "What are you doing here? How did you get to the Grand Royal Europa Hotels?" She asked curiously.Luca smiled. "I'm sorry I didn't make a big deal of it. I got a job here. I'm the new manager of this place."Rose looked at him in disbelief. "You got a job here? How? When? Who helped you get it? You got to be a manager in such a place?""Don't praise him yet, he's about to lose the job altogether with his use

    Grey didn't listen to her, he sighed deeply. "I see you love your boyfriend so much, but I am sorry, this is not for you," he sneered.The receptionist stared at Luca disappointedly before begging, "Please, Manager Luca, I need this job. I really can't do without it. My mom will starve because of it, and my dad is very sick!" She cried out hoping Luca would change his mind and lick up the shoes he was asked to lick.Rose stood there watching the whole scene playing out. She couldn't wait for when Luca would lick her boyfriend's shoes so she could take a video recording of it. A clear evidence she would show her mother and sister how much of a useless husband Luca was to them.Five minutes passed, and Luca was still standing without flinching. The whole place cracked with a different type of energy that made it constricting for most of them to breathe. Onlookers couldn't stop dropping harsh comments on Luca's stubbornness, meanwhile Derick was huddled in a corner watching it all play o

    Aurora listened to Grey in silence for a moment. Although she found him unbearable, she decided to support him since he was the wealthiest among them.She then turned to Derick and asked, "Who is that man?" gesturing towards Luca.Derick quickly approached her. "I apologize for not informing you earlier, ma'am. It was Master Giovanni who brought him in. He said Luca would be standing in until he or Ercole returns."Aurora laughed. "Ercole? Don't tell me you all think he's coming back. You should start planning his memorial instead!"Luca's brow furrowed in disbelief. How could she speak so callously about her boss, whose investments were paying her salary? Caught off guard, Aurora turned to him. "What did you just say? Don't you know your place in this company? You're just a manager, so when I speak, you'll wait until I ask you to respond!" She snarled, trying to assert her authority.Luca grew furious. How could she disregard the man whose investments had changed her life, even incr

    Aurora's shout made Grey and Rose halt in their steps and turn to her. Their brows were raised in disbelief, and a wave of shock washed over each of them on hearing that Lord Ercole is back.Meanwhile, Aurora slowly sank into the nearest plush couch by her side. She involuntarily let out a gasp, unable to contain her astonishment. "How did Lord Ercole come back? I thought his son was dead even before he died, how then is he back?" she thought to herself.Feeling slightly nervous, she stood up from the couch and began pacing around the lobby."Sir, do you mean... Lord Ercole is alive and back to work?" she asked, shock evident on her face. She couldn't believe that he was back."Yes, he is back. The truth is, he has always been alive, but he just chose to stay low-key and not show up for the moment, as the custom states," Giovanni explained.Aurora gulped. "Okay, sir. So, when is he starting work?" She couldn't hide her desire to see him. As a woman, for some personal reasons, she want

    The question caught Aurora off guard. Surprise struck her like a lightning bolt, jolting her out of her usual state of complacency."Sir, sir, sir..." she stammered, trying to articulate herself. "Sir, I am the HR of the company. I mean, you can't fire me....""WERE!" Luca corrected her. "You were the HR until now, so I'm sorry, but you are no longer the HR of my company. And to be clear, I didn't fire you - I only demoted you from your rank."Aurora argued, "Sir, you can't demote me!""And why can't I demote you? This is my company, and I can do anything I want to do!" He declared coldly.Giovanni on the other end was stunned by what Luca was saying. He was shocked that Luca was trying to demote Aurora. He would have asked him for his reasons, but knowing Luca, he was too smart to make such petty mistakes, so he chose to believe his judgments and not contradict him, like Larosa would always do.The corners of Aurora's lips dropped, forming a deep frown as she thought about it.

    The words hit her like a tidal wave. Aurora opened her mouth to protest, but the words turned to gasps. She sat on the couch, and exhaustion washed over her. Her eyelids felt heavy, and it was a struggle to keep them open. The world suddenly seemed muted, as if it had shifted its axis.Aurora sat there, still in disbelief that she had been demoted without any reasons given, while Luca and Derek had been given raises and equally promoted."Why the silence? Didn't you hear what I just said?" Luca asked, snapping her out of her daze.Aurora quickly nodded her head. "I did, sir. You said I should drop Mr. Grey Shanks from being a part of us.""Good, have a nice day, Miss Aurora." With that, Luca ended the call.Aurora sat on the plush couch, staring blankly at the people boarding tickets to lodge. She had just been demoted, stripped of her title and responsibilities. The news still felt like a punch to the gut, and she still couldn't believe it.Just then, Grey tapped her shoulder. "What

    As Aurora walked away, she kept her gaze downcast, trying to hide her embarrassment. She couldn't fathom how she had gone from being the HR of the company she had dedicated herself to, to now being just a junior manager. Within an hour, she and her PA had finished vacating the office for Luca, and they quickly moved to Derick's office.Each glance she gave the office made her stomach churn.A few minutes later, Luca settled into the HR office, which was truly one of a kind - a luxurious space. As he stepped inside, he was immediately struck by the elegant decor. Rich wood paneling covered the walls, and the marble flooring gleamed beneath his feet. Premium furnishings, including a plush leather sofa and a sleek desk, created a sophisticated atmosphere. The room was also equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including audiovisual equipment and high-speed internet.Custom artwork adorned the walls, adding a touch of personality to the space.

    Luca sat at his table with Blue next to him as she explained the surge in revenue of the hotel and its clubs in the last few months.The soft glow of the hotel's lobby lights cast a warm ambiance as Luca listened intently to Blue's presentation. She clicked a remote, and a graph displaying the hotel's revenue appeared on the screen behind her."As you can see, sir, our revenue has increased by 25% in the last quarter," Blue explained, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "And if we break it down further, we can see that the clubs have been a major contributor to this surge. I just know Lord Ercole would be so proud of the tactics you have used in his investments and brought up the revenue."Luca nodded thoughtfully, his eyes scanning the graph. "That's impressive, Blue. I'm glad we could make a change."Blue smiled, confident in her analysis. "Well, I think it's a combination of factors. Our marketing strategy has been on point, and we've seen a significant increase in foot traffic. Ad

    Back at the Edward family house, it was exactly 6:56 pm when Luca joined the ongoing dinner table in the dining room. Everyone was present, with Jacob and his mother inclusive. It was just one person missing that everyone was waiting for.A couple of minutes later, the door swung open and about three maids helped Madam Ivy to the dining table. One of the maids wrapped her hands around Madam Ivy's waist, and the other one had her hands over her shoulders as a wedge. They pulled the chair out and helped her to settle down into it. Meanwhile, as they helped her slowly to the chair, Luca, who had seen her current condition, couldn't help but stifle his laughter, but then it was too late, and his smirk caught everyone's attention except Grandpa, who had his head downwards.Once Sara noticed the smirk on his face, it flashed back into her memory... he has another family!
