Leo let out a small hiss and pretended to think even more. His index finger was now tapping his own temple. "I don't want to judge him badly either, Mr. Walter. But, when I spoke with Mr. Jonsen a few minutes ago, I felt that resentment. He didn't seem to accept my presence as a major investor," Leo retorted. Having said that, Leo lifted his face and straightened his gaze to match Mr. Walter's. While focusing his eyes on one point, he read the notification on the system screen. [WALTER ORLANDO] [FEELINGS: DISGUSTED (88%) ANNOYED (77%)] Leo secretly curved a lopsided smile reading Mr. Walter's current feeling prediction. "I know you might be annoyed with me because I might sound pretentious when I say this," Leo said, deliberately provoking Mr. Walter further. The look of astonishment on Mr. Walter's face instantly changed. His eyes were no longer squinting in confusion. [WALTER ORLANDO] [FEELINGS: DISGUSTED (70%) DISGUSTED (56%)] "Oh, I'm not ann
"But before that, I want to ask you something," said Mr. Holland. "What do you want to know from me, Mr. Holland?" asked Mr. Salex. "I would like to ask you about your VVIP lounge visitors, has anyone by the name of Jonsen or Blanco Scandla Piscasso ever been a guest of yours?" Mr. Holland asked. "Oh, wait a minute, it just so happens that I'm also checking the visitor records right now," replied Mr. Salex, accompanied by the sound of typing on the computer keyboard. "Ah, yes, there is one VVIP Piscasso guest who is recorded as visiting 3-4 times per month," continued Mr. Salex in a tone that sounded like he was reading the visitor record. "Which of your VVIP lounges did he visit, Mr. Salex?" asked Mr. Holland. "At the Night Blue Martini Lounge in Orlando. The place we visited after a round of golf two months ago." replied Mr. Salex. "Oh, in Orlando. But, are you sure it was Blanco Scandla Piscasso, Mr. Salex?" asked Mr. Holland for confirmation. "It only says Piscass
"If you don't believe me, I have evidence of my recorded conversation with one of the policemen," Ghenna said, taking out the cell phone in her pocket while wiping her tears. "Just listen to how a policeman belittled me," Ghenna continued as she pressed play on the recording. The recording of Ghenna's conversation with a policeman then filled the entire room as Ghenna deliberately turned up the volume to the maximum. "Excuse me sir, I would like to report the rape committed by my boss." Ghenna's voice was the first to be heard on the recording. "What rape? What evidence do you have?" asked a man suspected to be a policeman. "I have the video of the rape, sir. If necessary, I am also ready for a post mortem so that the lab results can be used as evidence of my rape," Ghenna said in a weak voice. "Was it really rape? Are you sure it wasn't a consensual act? Most women report rape but when it happens, they stay silent as if they are enjoying it. If you enjoyed it too then i
"And, of course, if Mr. Jonsen and Mr. Bennard are arrested by the police, both of your names will also be tarnished, your reputations will also be bad in the business world," Leo said in a tone that cornered the two assistants. They then panicked, their faces showing the fear of their reputations being dragged down if Leo reported their boss. The two assistants also looked very surprised that Leo could get the evidence. Instantly they turned to pleading with Leo. "Don't hand over the photos and videos to the police, Mr. Leo, we beg you," Mr. Bennard's assistant said, showing his tired face. "Yes, that's right, don't leak the evidence to the media, Mr. Leo, I don't want to go down with our boss," said Mr. Jonsen's assistant who also pleaded with Leo. "Alright, I can keep the photos and videos, but it's up to you. My current situation is also very urgent, and my conditions are still the same, I want to see Mr. Jonsen and Mr. Bennard's schedule for the next month. "If you ca
"Mr. Peter was also caught, but will probably be released soon considering he is a person with money and power," explained Hans. "You're right, Mr. Peter will definitely use his money and the women won't help us much in this either. But, at least we have the woman who was sleeping in the room to be a witness," Leo said in a calm tone. "Why is he distributing such a dangerous alcohol product? That's a very dangerous type of alcohol, Leo," Mr. Holland said. "Anyone who drinks that alcohol, the effects could be blindness. Is Mr. Walter so crazy that he would plan that?!" Leo was so dumbfounded that he couldn't say anything else. He almost couldn't believe that Mr. Walter would actually sell such a dangerous product. "No way," Leo said. "I mean, how could Mr. Walter be so bold as to do that?" Mr. Holland let out a rough breath. He looked at Leo as if disgusted that Leo was so innocent. "Are you really so innocent? As long as you've been alive, you don't know anything about a
Mr. Jonsen's reaction made Leo unable to help but smile. It wasn't long before Leo's steps arrived beside Mr. Jonsen. After that, Leo extended his open palm. "Can I ask for your cigarette?" Leo asked without the slightest hesitation. Mr. Jonsen looked at Leo's palm through cynical eyes. There was no answer but he looked forward again. "Why did you come to me?" asked Mr. Jonsen exasperatedly. Leo immediately chuckled at Mr. Jonsen's question. For some reason, the more Mr. Jonsen showed his dislike for him, the more Leo was challenged. "Fine if you don't want to give me your cigarette," Leo said as he retracted his outstretched palm. Leo took a deep breath, then let it out. He placed both hands on the window ledge and looked at the view of the skyscrapers. "I just wanted to make sure why you seem to hate me so much," Leo replied later. "Even though I've shown my contribution. It was my seriousness in wanting to join you guys." Mr. Jonsen chuckled. After exhaling
"What kind of schedule do you want, Mr. Leo?" asked Mr. Jonsen's assistant, who seemed to agree with Leo's conditions. "Not much, I just want a schedule of where Mr. Bennard and Mr. Jonsen are going, who they are meeting, and when they are going. But, you two must not get caught reporting the schedule to me," Leo replied casually. "Huh? How can we do that?" asked Mr. Bennard's assistant in confusion. "You just need to help me get into Mr. Jonsen and Mr. Bennard's private study to find out what their future activities are," Leo replied as he approached the two assistants. "Alright, I'll help you sneak into Mr. Jonsen's study," said Mr. Jonsen's assistant with a small nodding gesture. "I also agree with that, I will take you to Mr. Bennard's office," said Mr. Bennard's assistant. "But, you must also promise me not to tell anyone about this kidnapping," Leo said, sounding like a threat. The two men remained silent and nodded their heads in agreement. Leo who saw that then s
"I'm still considering it and don't want to tell you yet. Oh, about us being business rivals... just ask Mr. Walter," Leo replied. After Leo's glance fell on him, Mr. Walter cleared his throat to make the atmosphere less awkward. A smile of formality curved his face. "No matter what problems occur between us, we are still businessmen who can need each other, right? Especially since Mr. Leo is a good businessman," Mr. Walter replied calmly. Leo knew that Mr. Walter looked nervous. But he didn't say anything. "Come on, Mr. Leo. We'll talk about what you want to talk about," Mr. Walter said. After that, Mr. Walter turned to the investors in front of him. He bowed his head briefly to show respect. "I'm sorry we had to talk intensely for a moment," Mr. Walter said. Leo also bowed his head as a sign of goodbye. Leo and Mr. Walter's steps moved away from the investors, leaving the hall and stage still buzzing with conglomerate chatter. The two of them walked to a few
