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. A private meeting room with soundproof wa

    In the Grand Royal Europa Hotels.At the Exclusive Staff Auditorium.There were about 57 people seated in the hall, waiting for Luca to come address them. Each of them was the head of their various teams, whether it be the clubs, bars, restaurants, hotels, or other departments. The atmosphere felt dense, and a sudden dreadful energy hovered around the place, although distant giggles and whispers could be clearly heard."I heard that Lord Ercole is still alive and walking!" one of them whispered."I heard so too, but I just feel bad that he demoted Madam Aurora," the other frowned."I don't feel any type of way about it. She deserves it so much! I'm really rooting for the new HR... Mr. Luca!""Wait a minute, do you really mean that she was really demoted? I mean, Lord Ercole demoted her? Why did he do that?""I can't really say, but from the rumors I've heard, there are other hidden cameras apart from the surveillance ones we see here. Those hidden ones make Lord Ercole see everything

    Chapter 65.Meeting Mia."What?!" Mia gasped, a flurry of questions tumbling out. "Why? What happened? What really happened to Aurora? Is she still working with the company?"Blue quickly addressed her concerns. "I'm very sorry, ma'am. Aurora is still with the company, but some of her responsibilities have been reduced. Someone else will be taking over the shareholder-related matters." She lied not wanting to tell her that Aurora has been demoted.Mia let out a deep sigh. She knew the process would likely be more complicated without Aurora there. Mia and Aurora were quite close, so deals were usually straightforward. But now there was a new person involved, someone Mia wasn't sure she knew."And who is this person?" Mia asked, unable to hold back her curiosity any longer.Blue responded curtly. "He's already here. I'll let him introduce himself." She gestured for Luca to come in, and he walked gracefully into the hall with a confident stride, his presence commanding attention. Luca's

    Luca opened his file and started to go through it before turning on the laptop in front of him. For the next five minutes, everyone was booting their computers and logging in to the company's website. A sudden silence hung over the room. After witnessing how Luca had shut down Mia's earlier outburst, everyone seemed to be making an effort to avoid drawing his attention.Suddenly, Mia's voice broke the silence. "What is wrong?" she shouted, her face contorted into a deep frown. "This computer is faulty! It's been booting up for the last seven minutes!"Luca rolled his eyes before speaking as politely as possible. "Miss Mia, what seems to be the problem over there?"Mia ignored him and turned to Blue. "Hey, you!" she scowled aggressively. "Why did you give me a faulty computer? I'm sure you knew I'd be sitting right here, and you went and gave me this shitty computer!" Her face flushed red with anger as she glared at Blue with intense disgust."Look around, everybody here - their compu

    The room fell into an eerie silence, as no one dared to utter a word. A palpable wave of anticipation swept through the crowd of shareholders sitting in the hall. They all wondered who would be dropped, each silently praying it wouldn't be them. Being dropped by Grand Royal Europa Hotels would be a significant loss, as the hotel had other lucrative companies under its umbrella, which generated revenue for all of them.Every eye was glued to their screens, eagerly awaiting the companies Luca would announce as being dropped. For the next ten minutes, the only sounds were the chiming of messages and the flipping of files. The atmosphere was charged with electricity, as if the very air was thrumming with excitement and anticipation.Mia sat up, carefully avoiding eye contact with anyone. She felt a heightened sense of focus and alertness, her senses sharpened in pursuit of knowledge.Ten minutes later, everyone raised their heads curiously as Luca cleared his throat."I want to say a very

    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

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!
