"Welcome, Mr. Alex and Miss Ayra, your rooms are ready."An assistant head respectfully greeted Alex and Ayra. He was Manando, a longtime servant at the grand mansion.Yes, at the moment, Alex and Ayra found themselves in a mansion, the first place Alex had ever been to. After their mother's death a week ago, a messenger from Alberto came, claiming they were his son and daughter.Considering they no longer had a mother, they decided to follow the man who claimed to be their father. It seemed like a reasonable choice to try living in that magnificent mansion."Who is the man before me?" Alex silently asked the system. "Show his profile," Alex continued, so he could memorize the people in the mansion.The hologram promptly displayed information about the head assistant.Name: Manando AsenaAddressed as: Mr. NandoAge: 50 years oldOccupation: Head AssistantAfter reading the profile on the hologram, Alex nodded. He then turned to Mr. Nando, who was still bowing. Meanwhile, Ayra remained
For some reason, Teddy's words couldn't comfort him at all. Anyway, Alex also felt that the current atmosphere wasn't quite right."Alex," his father suddenly called, making Alex jump. "Tell everyone if you're ready to take care of the company, Alex."Immediately, Alex straightened his back. "Ah, yes." He then stood up with both hands clasped in front of him. "Good evening, everyone. I'm sure you must be confused by my presence here." His gaze swept around the room. Unconsciously, Alex struggled to swallow his saliva. His eyes then landed on a girl who happened to be his sister, Ayra, and he turned to address everyone present."I'm Alex, and from now on, I will be involved in managing the company."Actually, Alex wanted to continue about his position in this house. However, for some reason, his tongue felt too heavy. There was reluctance in every pair of eyes that stared at him.Unexpectedly, applause came from his side. Alex turned and found Teddy clapping. His younger brother clappe
Alex, who was still in front of the mansion's terrace, decided to enter the mansion. His gaze looked at the entire mansion he was currently living in, and really wondered if he would be living here."Is it true that Alberto is my father?"Alex sighed. His dead mother certainly wouldn't be able to answer that question, and Alex himself couldn't get the answer.Alex decided to take the elevator and decided to rest in his room. But before entering her room, she saw that Aira's bedroom door was open, which meant that the girl was currently not sleeping.Wanting to know how Aira was feeling, Alex decided to step into Aira's room. Before he entered, of course, Alex knocked on the door first.A girl who was currently holding her cell phone while lying down, turned her head when she heard someone knocking on her door.Aira immediately corrected the sleeping position by sitting on the edge of the bed. She smiled at the man who seemed to be about to enter her room."Just come in, Alex," Aira fi
Lisa, who was inside her room, couldn't calm her racing thoughts. She needed to meet with Alex and talk to the man.However, Alex had something to say to her even though they were essentially strangers now, but they had been friends before.Lisa grew increasingly restless in her room until she turned when suddenly someone entered. That someone was Bayu.At the moment, Bayu appeared quite upset. Maybe because he had learned that Alex was the owner of the company. Bayu had not expected that at all. And it seemed that Bayu was thinking about more than just that right now. But his own fate was definitely on his mind.Bayu walked with a weary stride towards Lisa and pulled out a chair. His face looked drained, devoid of any enthusiasm."How could Alex be the owner of this company?" Bayu complained, glancing at Lisa, who remained silent.Lisa sighed upon hearing Bayu's complaint. In reality, Lisa didn't know that either and certainly couldn't answer Bayu's question.They both fell into sile
Alex Alberto, that name had become the primary topic swirling in Lisa's mind. Ever since he became the CEO at the company where she worked, it was highly likely that Lisa had fallen in love with Alex.She felt her heart race every time she thought of him. This was when she began to realize that she truly had feelings for Alex.But admitting it and telling Alex directly might make him think that Lisa liked him only because he was now the CEO. Lisa didn't want to be perceived that way, even though there was a certain allure in knowing that Alex was now a CEO.Alex was a handsome man with a somewhat aloof demeanor. He didn't even have friends and used to be the target of office bullying. However, everything had changed now. Alex was untouchable, and anyone daring to challenge him would face consequences, possibly getting fired.There was a desire within Lisa to be close to Alex, but she admitted it was really difficult. She feared that everyone would assume she had fallen in love with Al
The woman dressed in a deep black purse seemed unfocused. She had been silent for a while, her steps leading her in a direction that wasn't her intended destination.Even she couldn't understand why her feet were taking her to the cafeteria, especially since it wasn't break time yet. But for some reason, Lisa, the girl in question, really wanted to go to the cafeteria.Her throat was parched, and she could easily have called the office boy to bring her a drink. However, Lisa decided to go to the cafeteria herself. Maybe she just couldn't stand being in her office right now, so she opted to leave and head to the cafeteria.Upon arriving at the cafeteria, it felt like a perfect setup when she saw someone with their back turned, sipping a cup of coffee. Even from behind, Lisa could tell who it was—Alex.Lisa continued to watch Alex from behind, feeling the urge to greet him. But she was too embarrassed, considering how different their statuses were now. Alex had become an SEO at their wo
Alex, who was now in front of an apartment where he used to live, couldn't help but gaze at the building. There was something he needed to do at his former residence, which was why he had decided to visit.As Alex stepped out of his luxurious car, the security guard who had been on duty at the apartment for a long time, and of course, knew Alex, furrowed his brow at the sight of Alex emerging from the fancy vehicle.The security guard couldn't fathom how Alex had come to possess such a car, especially when someone had opened the car door for him, as if Alex were someone of great importance and the rightful owner of that vehicle.Alex walked towards the security guard, wearing a knowing smile, observing the guard's shocked expression. Anyone who saw this scene would be surprised, including the security guard currently before him."Good evening, sir," Alex greeted the still bewildered security guard.Alex continued to smile as he noticed the guard still in disbelief, until he waved his
Alex, still inside the apartment, repeatedly hears the sound of the apartment doorbell ringing. Alex is convinced that it must be Calista. But Alex can't fathom why Calista continues to disturb them, knowing that Calista was the one who had cheated.Hearing the apartment doorbell ring incessantly, Alex can only sigh. They really wish they could make Calista stop pressing the apartment doorbell, but Alex feels too lazy to do it.Alex gazes around at everything in the apartment. They no longer live there now and have decided to take whatever is left in there.However, since Alex didn't have anything particularly important before, Ali couldn't find anything to bring along with him right now.Alex decided to leave the apartment immediately. As Alex opened the apartment door, he noticed that Calista was standing right in front of his door. The person who had been pressing the doorbell earlier was none other than Calista, and she now glared at Alex with irritation."I've been ringing the do
