Alex blinked his eyes repeatedly, trying to dispel the dizziness that was pounding in his head."Ouch! How on earth could this happen? There should have been some people covering the meteor explosion. But why does it feel different this time? Am I the only one who can see this meteor falling from outer space?"Furrowing his brow, Alex attempted to comprehend what had just occurred.However, rather than finding clarity, Alex seemed to be more confused. It was as if the momentary fainting spell had left him disoriented. He couldn't understand what was going on with him.Inexplicably, he began to believe that he was the only one who could see the meteor falling simply because there was no crowd gathering in that narrow alley."Snap out of it, Alex! This isn't a fantasy world where everything happens due to fleeting imagination. This is the real world, and you have a life to live. What's making you think these absurd thoughts? Is it because of that hologram board?"In truth, Alex was a bi
Alex continued to hold onto his old, battered phone, which still displayed a message claiming he had received a huge sum of money."Where on earth is an ATM around here? I've been walking forever and still can't find one. Is it really this hard to find an ATM on this street?" Alex muttered to himself, his brow furrowing as he scrutinized every building in the corner of the city where he had relocated.But now, his relocation meant nothing. Everything had fallen apart because of his blind trust in everything, including the man who had clearly led him astray."Enough of all these thoughts, Alex! It's all happened, and I can't redo it," Alex reassured himself, closing his eyes for a moment, attempting to make peace with the situation demanding justice."Stay calm, Alex. Not everything you want will go as planned. Everything happens according to God's will. Remember, God's plan is always the best," Alex urged himself. He didn't want his thoughts to wander any further.Though his heart ach
Alex carried his shoulder bag with both hands holding another large sling bag.The entire bag was filled with only his clothing items. Alex decided to go home because Ayra suddenly called him out of the blue."Thank God. I'm sure, all of this also includes the intervention of fate from you. I don't know where all these systems came from and how I was able to feel like a character in this fantasy novel, one thing is for sure, I feel very grateful."Alex closed his eyes for a long time. Letting the positive energy continue to enter and affect him."It's true what they say, that gratitude only comes after a gift comes your way. If I hadn't been grateful and calm earlier, maybe God wouldn't have given me this gift. Instead, it might have been given to someone else."Alex muttered in his heart. Although it was clear that Alex was no longer an ordinary person, the man preferred to walk to the bus stop that was not too far from his former boarding house.At least Alex just wanted to enjoy th
"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
