2025-04-29 19:24:41"Dera Denz… I have a feeling that I've heard this name somewhere before." Kalus massaged his temples and muttered to himself.
"I made a detailed inquiry about Ms. Denz," Ian presented in his report.
Kalus's eyes gleamed with the thought, 'Finally! This useless secretary is one step ahead of me!'
"Tell me the result."
"I couldn't find anything about her." Ian shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands in a helpless manner.
Ian, I think you should report to the human resources department to sign your salary tomorrow." Kalus's eyes were cold.
"Mr. Mike, calm down! It is not that I don't want to ask about her. It is just that Ms. Denz's information is like a top-secret file. I really cannot do anything in that matter."
Ian's face whitened in fright, and he wiped his damp hands with trembling hands. "Don't you think it's strange? All I could learn about Ms. Denz is that she is the only daughter of Wyatt Denz's first wife. And yet, nothing about her is online. I've attempted to search for her on social media but couldn't find anything. Does she even exist?"
Do you have her photo? Show it to me."
"Ah, yes! I had to look so hard for it."
Ian got his phone, pulled up the photo, and placed it in front of Kalus.
Kalus examined it carefully and was furious. "Ian Harris! Do you want to die?!
The old image on the screen wasn't clear. Never mind, the girl Wyatt was carrying was only a toddler!
How were they going to make out anything from this photo?
"Mr. Mike, please don't be angry! This is the sole picture of Ms. Denz which I could find on the entire internet. It was 20 years ago, at the funeral of Wyatt Denz's first wife." Ian was anxious. Working as Kalus's secretary was stressful.
Twenty years ago. That would make Dera Denz 24 or 25 years old this year.
She was about the same age as Amara Kol.
Kalus stared at the image for some time. The more he stared, the more his eyebrows creased.
Why would this girl's face resemble Amara Kol's?
Damn it! Ever since he signed the divorce papers, Kalus couldn't help but think he was thinking about his ex-wife more frequently. What was going on?
One of the maids came and knocked on the door.
"Young Master Kalus, the chairman wants to see you."
Zera was leaning her head on Gregory's shoulder in the living room, silently crying.
She was already in her forties, but she was still acting like a baby in front of her husband.
"Greg… My sister is such a pathetic thing. She married into the Osita family and did her duty to bring up Zeke and Lydia. She was only happy for a few years before ending up like this. She called me on the phone last night, and her throat was hoarse from crying. She said she was too ashamed to visit me because she did not want to bring shame to our family."
"Why is this embarrassing? We are family, so ask them to stop being strangers."
Gregory put his hand on Zera's shoulder and comforted her gently. His voice was gentle as he said to her, "We'll resolve this when Kalus comes. "
Over the years, Zera utilized her good figure to intimidate Kalus's mother and successfully married Gregory, becoming the Mike family matron.
Gregory loved Zera so much that he could not help desiring her.
"Dad, were you looking for me?"
Kalus came near. His eyes were cold and steel-like.
"Kalus, you must save Lydia's family!"
Zera wiped her tears delicately with a silk handkerchief and said between sobbing, "Lydia and her father are sick. Lydia fell ill and could not eat anything after hearing this news. You must do something to rescue her family if you love her and feel sympathy for her."

Kalus, did you hear what happened?" Gregory asked with a frown, as he comforted his wife."I heard. The person who made this news known is the new general manager of Zz World Hotel, Dera Denz."Kalus lowered his eyelids, deliberately not gazing at the lovers in front of him.Gregory had never been so gentle to his mother, or to him, in his recollection. Perhaps Gregory had forgotten what Kalus's mother looked like."The Denz family from Hatchbay?!"Zera clutched her mouth and exclaimed, "That's the richest family in Hatchbay! How could my sister's family have possibly offended them?!""We have never had any relations with the Denz family because our ancestors fought a bitter war against each other. Wyatt Denz's great-grandmother made a vow that none of the Denz family members could ever marry a Mike. Whoever goes against this will be disowned by the Denz family and will not be entitled to anything."Kalus did not care about this because the woman he wanted to marry was Lydia, not Dera

The next morning, Kalus dressed up nicely in a suit and leather boots. He was handsome and dignified looking as he stood before the Zz World Hotel in top condition.The moment he stepped into the hall, he was physically and psychologically comfortable.Kalus was there once before last year, and because he is a no-nonsense, demanding person, he had spoken its standards about.He had a perception that the hotel was inefficiently managed and had nothing much to be proud of.But when he stepped into the hotel again, Kalus felt the difference. The hotel was immaculately restored and exuded the high levels of a fine hotel.Clearly, Dera Denz was a good manager. She was an opponent with whom he couldn't be indifferent."This is Mr. Kalus Mike, CEO of Mike Corporation. He would like to see Ms. Denz. Kindly convey the message to your general manager."Ian had to make several attempts before he eventually found Dera's administrative secretary and explained the reason they were there."I'm sorry

As I put the phone down to my elder brother, Steven ran in here scowling."Ms. Dera, Kalus Mike came over again! The impudent creature! Too bad he didn't make a vocation out of peddling insurance!""His diligence at taking care of his dear fiancée is just something to marvel at."I didn't even raise my eyes. I was busy signing forms.But Steven could sense a hint of bitterness and jealousy in my voice. He was not sure if he dreamed it."Ms. Dera, I will personally go downstairs and shoo him away.""No, invite him up." I snapped the lid of my pen and raised my eyebrows."What?!" Steven was surprised."He's so persistent and came three times just to glance at me. I must show him respect."I leaned forward and stuck out my cute little feet.Steven hurried over, dropped to his knee, and helped me into my high heels."Go to the restaurant on the first floor and fetch a girl with a pretty face and a good argument. I have something planned."Ten minutes passed, and Steven brought a waitress

"Mr. Mike… I simply can't continue anymore!" Ian panted while they trudged along the stairs.The hotel ceiling was extremely high, so the floors required extra steps than usual. Ian had already started breathing hard before reaching the 8th floor. His legs ached, and he was already contemplating giving up.A man should not give up so easily. There are just two floors remaining. Hurry." Kalus prompted Ian as he ascended the stairs without breaking his composure.Kalus was 30 years old. He was two years older than Ian but had served as a soldier in the peacekeeping force in his early days. He had retired from the army, exercised often, and practiced martial arts and hence his physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people.He could still climb another 20 floors if he had to, as when he was in the army, he would have to run at least 30 laps during their night run.Finally, they reached the 40th floor.

"Hahaha…."I laughed loudly, so my puppet also had to laugh mockingly.Kalus furrowed his eyebrows."Enjoy the compliment, Mr. Mike. But you need not be humble. I can make hundreds of such calligraphy pieces a day, so it is no great loss to you if you take one from me."I smiled mockingly, and Kalus's face stiffened. He clenched his fists into small fists."Mr. Mike, I know that you didn't come all the way here only to admire my writing. Down to business already." I had no time to waste and I spoke bluntly."To tell the truth, I am here concerning what happened to Gold Corporation. Hope you can lighten up on crushing them, Ms. Denz. Negotiate for terms on that, we can."Kalus's tone was low, and his stare was suffocating. "Anyway, I'm sure that you will be more rewarded working with Mike Corporation in the future, especially in Savrow.""Are you suggesting I'm suppressing them, Mr. Mike?I erupt into laughter.

I went back to the office. My puppet waitress stood up hastily and walked over, still shaking legs."I was so afraid! Mr. Mike is so good-looking! He also has such powerful charm that I blushed when I saw him. Did I mess up, Ms. Denz?""No, you did exceptionally well."I gave her an envelope. "Here, you deserve it."“Thank you, Ms. Denz!” The waitress took it and felt a thick wad of cash inside.At this time, Steven handed her a confidentiality agreement.“I know you’re an honest lady, but for both parties’ sake, it’s safer to sign an agreement.”I smiled weakly. "Don't reveal any details of what transpired today. If a third party knows about what we spoke in my meeting with Mr. Mike today, then I will consider it your breach of contract and sue you legally."The waitress swallowed hard, signed the contract, and swore repeatedly not to reveal anything before leaving the office."Aren't Kalus Mike so heartless, I mean, supposedly?

The truth was that Kalus did not find any pleasure in gaining his freedom to pursue his own love. Rather, he felt like he could not meet the expectations he had for his relationship with Lydia.There was a knock on the door, which Kalus answered. Ian burst in with a document.“Mr. Mike, I’ve investigated the situation. Zz World Hotel canceled orders with Alia Furniture nine days ago and terminated cooperation with Gold Corporation. But at that time, Zz Group did not disclose Alia Furniture’s quality problems to the media. The outside world was mostly just speculating what happened.”Immediately afterward, Lydia announced her wedding news with Kalus and defamed Amara Kol.
