The meeting was attended by the client, who two people also represented. One was a man in his fifties who introduced himself as the director of the Hexia Garment company, accompanied by an assistant who was a young woman with make-up who suggested she was in her thirties. In fact Aileen was willing to bet that the girl was still young, perhaps just out of college. She said her name was Dianne."Well, if I may ask, is she Mr Lucas' new personal assistant?" Mr Leo, the director of Hexia Garment asked, his eyes fixed on Aileen.Aileen felt uncomfortable being stared at like that. She had a feeling that he was the kind of bad guy who would not let any female prey, at least not from his lascivious eyes."Please keep your eyes save, Mr Leo. She is mine." Lucas' spontaneous reply made Aileen's eyes widened. Not just Mr Leo."Wow, so you're bringing your woman to professional meetings now? Wow, that's interesting,” Mr Leo said after a while after he had got over his surprise."We should only
"Ms. Aileen met with Mr. Lucas this afternoon at the restaurant with representatives from Hexia Garment Ltd. After the meeting, Lucas drove them to the courtyard of Ms. Aileen's apartment. Without stopping."Mr. Ben sent a message to Mark. The man hadn't had much to do lately because the H Corp office had no criminal problems. So when Mark asked him for a favor, to occasionally provide Aileen's security from time to time, he readily agreed."Ah, Lucas. You seem to be interested in Aileen as well?" said Mark. His mind was now filled with fear. What was the intention behind Lucas approaching Aileen? Was it just because he liked Aileen? Or was it just to Lisa's business with him?"Whatever it is, if Lucas dares to hurt Aileen, he'll definitely have to deal with me!" Mark snarled.He clearly had something to do with Aileen's latest kidnapping. Which made Mark very worried about leaving Aileen alone. Mark brooded in his room with a slice of bread in his hand. He had to eat inside because h
The next day, it turned out that Lisa was traveling back to NYC. She secretly booked a ticket without Mark's knowledge, saying she would visit a college friend out of town. Lisa only said she would visit a college friend out of town. Mark, who had been looking forward Mark, who had been looking forward to being free of Lisa, was satisfied. At least he wouldn't be bothered by her presence all day.Just being free of Lisa for a day changed Mark a lot. He was so cheerful in the office and even smiled when Gio bombarded him with questions about where Lisa had gone that day.“You can call her yourself if you're worried. I'm enjoying not having her around. So don't spoil the moment by continuing to mention her name!” Mark warned Gio.Poor Gio. The boy was so interested in Lisa. But Lisa didn't want to pay any attention to Gio at all. Gio was clumsy despite his good looks. Ah, of course, Lisa, who was famouswould not be interested in him. Meanwhile, Lisa, who had arrived in Jakarta that afte
Lisa didn't stop by the house. She only saw her father briefly at work. Then, when she just wanted to say hello to Lucas, he instead had to undo his intention because Lucas was seen walking hand in hand with Aileen, whom she hated so much. Of course, Lisa didn't want to come over.She immediately went home and waited for her brother to come home so she could confront him. How dare her brother approach Aileen, knowing Lisa hated her so much! Where the hell are those feelings? Lisa couldn't stop thinking.Later that night, Lucas was surprised to find his favorite sister sitting in the living room. Not to mention the glum look he gave her without a care."You're home? Mark... he were here too?" asked Lucas as he looked around the room. But no, Mark wasn't there."Mark didn't know I was here," came Lisa's short reply, her face still bent."Oh dear! How careless of him. Isn't his main job to take care of you?" demanded Lucas in a fit of anger."I'm not a baby. I'm just going home anyway. I
“Please have a seat, Ms. Aileen."That day, Mr. Alex Howard deliberately asked his secretary to call Aileen and ask her to come into the room to meet him."Yes, sir. Is there... something I can help you with?" Aileen asked as she took a seat in front of the large, shiny polished brown desk with a bit of nervousness. She wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that she had gone outside yesterday to meet Mr. Lucas. It clearly shouldn't have been his job desk as Marketing Manager."Ah, please just be relax. I don't feel comfortable calling you Ma'am' because you're obviously the same age as my daughter. But do you mind if I call you just Aileen?” Mr. Alex tried to break the ice between them. The tense atmosphere that Aileen felt, on one side, wanted to be broken first by Mr. Alex's friendliness."Go ahead, sir. I'm used to being called Aileen instead of Ma'am.'" Aileen replied, shaking her hair, which slightly covered her forehead."All right then, Aileen. I just want to talk for
"When true love hasn't found its way, sometimes it gets buried for a while. But don't ask how much you miss it, because all the numbers in the world won't be enough to count it".Once again, Mark had to work quickly to clear up all the problems at his auditing branch. Some of the issues were related to the embezzlement of funds and the excess production costs over the real ones, so Mark had to deal with the branch officials.Of course, he did not accuse immediately. That would have been a dead giveaway. Instead, he used the tactic of approach. He came while complaining about work during a meeting with his colleagues. And sure enough, the result was that he was placed in a group where many people were unhappy with the company's state. It was a team of idealists who were against any form of embezzlement.So Mark mingled with them and gradually found out the root of the problem. Based on the rumors circulating, the accounting manager seems less transparent. Several other elements, such a
"Oh my! It's so complicated to deal with rich people. If it's true that in this world they all have the right to do whatever they want. I don't want to deal with them anymore." Aileen continued to mutter to herself.She packed her clothes and personal belongings into the apartment. The apartment she had only lived in for three months did not seem to suit her. She remembered the first time she came here, accompanied by Mark, when she had just arrived in NYC. Some hilarious arguments between them made Aileen blurt out that maybe this apartment wouldn't last long. And she was right. It turns out that she has to go back to Manhattan now."Huuft ... Mark already paid for six months. I wonder if I can ask for the change back?" Aileen mumbled to herself, glancing at her cell phone occasionally.For some reason, she felt that Mark would contact her today. For some reason, she felt that Mark would find out about her departure to Manhattan today. It was a strange feeling.Finally, a call came t
That night, Mr. Alex did not sleep well. Some fragments of a dream kept him awake several times: his first meeting with his wife, when he, the son of a rich businessman, fell in love with Emma, an ordinary girl from an ordinary family.The opposition of his parents made Alex love her in silence. Not daring to be open. Only when they were alone together, on infrequent occasions, did he declare it. It was painful to remember.Then, they were finally forced to agree when Emma became pregnant with Lucas. Alex threatened to leave home, even at the risk of being dropped from the family's list of heirs. This decision finally made his parents realize that as long as their son was happy, it didn't matter which family he married into.In the second part of the dream, Alex seems to be visited by his wife. Emma, who was very beautiful in her old age, said that love should not be manipulated. Let it grow properly—without force and without signs called caste.The following day, it became clear that
