"Why did you just come now?" Andy asked, annoyed.

"I'm busy," Nicholas said lightly. "I also have work at the hospital, in case you forgot."

"Tsk!" Andy said in a mocking tone. "You shouldn't act so casually, while holding this position. If your performance is bad, Leon will suffer the consequences. He will be the one to take back his position and there's no way he'll be asked to clean up all the problems you left behind!"

Nicholas had prepared himself for this, but still, everything could not get used to it, because every time he always felt his anger overflowing and he had to hold it back very hard.

"If you consider the defense ministry project a problem, then I'd better cancel it and let Leon pay the penalty. How about that?" Nicholas asked calmly.

Andy was surprised by Nicholas' words and deep down he also felt wrong for being unnecessarily harsh on Nicholas

"Don't be too proud of that one project," Andy snapped coldly. "There are still many other abandoned projects that need to b

    Nicholas, that's crazy," Lilian said in annoyance. "What kind of wedding are you going to have, spending four billion?""Why? Did I ask you for money?" Nicholas asked calmly. "This is my wedding, with the woman I love, using my own money. Where's the problem?"Lilian's face turned red hearing Nicholas' words. She felt like she had been slapped. The problem was, how could Nicholas have that much money. If he could spend that much money to get married, that meant he had a much larger fortune, right?Harriet clenched her fists tightly until her knuckles turned white. How could Nicholas prepare a wedding for a woman like Nathalie with such an expensive cost?"You need to know, Mr. Abby, Mrs. Abby, and Harriet," Nicholas continued with a smile still on his lips. "Four billion is not the total cost. There are still some things that have not been paid by my assistant, and I don't think the total amount can be calculated yet. Isn't that right, George?"George smiled and nodded. "Yes, that's r

    "What are you doing, Nathalie?" Nicholas asked angrily. "Why do you keep looking this way?"Nathalie's face flushed, when Nicholas pointed at his middle part. She thought about Harriet's previous statement, which said that Nicholas was sterile.After arriving home and entering the room, Nathalie and Nicholas sat on the bed with a laptop on each of their laps."You must be wondering about Harriet's statement?" Nicholas said. "She kept saying that I was sterile, right?""She said that Leon told her about it," Nathalie said. "But, is it true?""I guess, that needs proof, right?" Nicholas said. "When I had the accident, the doctor said that there was a problem with my testicles because of the impact. He even said that I might be impotent too.""Impotent? But that's not true. At that time we--"Nathalie stopped her words. She covered her mouth with a bright red face, then quickly looked down.Nicholas smirked and moved his face closer to Nathalie. "Was my appearance okay at that time?""Hu

    Nicholas looked very relieved when the results of Grandpa Jerome's general check-up showed good results. At least, for someone of Grandpa Jerome's age, he could still be considered healthy."Please pay more attention to his diet and rest patterns," said Doctor August. "Don't let his diet and rest patterns be careless because you think he's healthy.""Yes, Doctor, I will pay more attention to him from now on," said Nicholas.He turned to Grandpa Jerome. "Stop snacking after dinner, and stop drinking coffee that is too strong and sweet!"Grandpa Jerome looked away with a pout, making Nathalie smile when she saw him.After Doctor August left the room, Nicholas sat beside Nathalie and took Grandpa Jerome's hand."Don't be too careless with yourself, Grandpa," Nicholas said lightly. "I don't want to lose you yet!"Grandpa Jerome pressed Nicholas' thumb. "I also don't want to leave before seeing Nathalie give birth to my great-grandson and give him the name Grand after the name you gave him

    "Baby, what took you so long?" asked Nicholas who suddenly appeared behind Nathalie.He waited for Nathalie to return to the room, but because it had been a long time and Nathalie still hadn't come, he took the initiative to look for Nathalie downstairs.He stared at everyone in front of Nathalie, with a sharp, intimidating gaze.Charles did not want to lose, he returned Nicholas' gaze, although deep inside his heart there was also a feeling of fear.In the end Charles looked away first and gestured to Kelly to leave."Charles," Nicholas called in a cold, piercing tone. He grabbed Nathalie's waist and hugged her possessively.Charles stopped walking and turned around, raising his eyebrows arrogantly."Next time, if you or your family meet Nathalie, just pretend you don't know her," Nicholas said in a cold tone. "Don't look for any small matter, or I will carry out what I promised you before and believe me, if that happens, the name Frederick will never be heard again forever."Kelly l

    "That bastard! He didn't keep his promise at all!

"I made sure everyone worked on it like their lives depended on it.""Good," Nicholas said. "I know you can always be counted on, George."Nicholas went to Nathalie's office that was being renovated. There were three workers working diligently on their tasks. They all bowed their heads respectfully to Nicholas when he came to inspect.Nicholas looked at the room with a sense of satisfaction, although there was still some regret, because he was late in doing what his people were doing now.If it weren't for the incident at the hospital five days ago, he probably wouldn't have done this either because he didn't know any better."You can bring Ms. Nathalie here tomorrow afternoon," George said, following be

    "So, all this time you were separated by Charles?" Hardy muttered. He looked at Nathalie sadly. "How could he do something like that to his own best friend?""I think Charles never considered Nicholas as his best friend. He only approached Nicholas because he was a Grand. He wanted to get the privilege of being someone who was considered close to Nicholas," Nathalie said."I think it's good that you finally divorced him and met Nicholas again. It must have been fate's will, which brought you together again," Hardy said. "So, are you sure you want to marry Nicholas?"Nathalie looked at her father with conflicted feelings. She knew that deep down, her father was worried. She had just divorced Charles and the time must have been considered too soon to start over.But, she had already made a pact with Nicholas and even though now everything felt absurd, because in reality she and Nicholas loved each other, there was still a promise that had been made between them."And what about the chil

    "Who?"Nathalie's eyes widened.She was finishing checking some new designs her staff had made when the phone on her desk rang and the receptionist told her that a man named Charles Frederick wanted to see her."He said his name was Charles Frederick, ma'am. He said he wanted to talk about a joint project."Nathalie didn't know what Charles wanted, but it must have been important enough for him to come to what was clearly a rival company."Tell him to wait in the main living room," Nathalie said. "Ah, Katty?""Yes, ma'am?" Katty said."Turn on the AC to maximum, and all the lights on our display boards," Nathalie said."Yes, ma'am, I will," Katty said."Call me back in half an hour after he sits down," Nathalie added.After hanging up, Nathalie picked up her phone and sent a message to Nicholas."Charles came here and said he wanted to meet to discuss a joint project."Nicholas' reply came about three minutes later."I'm leading a meeting, can't call you.

    "So far, in two months, Nicholas has completed four pending project tenders and secured two major projects that previously did not even include us as tender participants," said Mario Marwin."You're right," responded Lorenzo Urbin. "Have you checked the development graph of The Grand Enterprise last month? After previously there was a fairly large decline in numbers, at the beginning of last month the line had registered and at the beginning of this month the line actually went up.""Gentlemen, it crossed my mind some time ago, when observing the development of our shares, could it be that we have chosen the wrong person all this time?" said Abner Jhonson carefully.Lorenzo and Mario exchanged glances. Each was struggling with their thoughts. Questioning again what Abner had said."I've thought about that too," said Lorenzo somewhat embarrassedly. "If we had chosen Nicholas from the start, perhaps the benefits we would have gained would have been enormous."Mario nodded, agreeing with

    "Are you busy?" Nicholas asked. He had just finished taking a shower, shirtless, wearing only pajama pants, and his hair was half wet.Nathalie looked up, looking away from the laptop. Her eyebrows furrowed."Why don't you dry your hair?" Nathalie asked as she took the towel draped over Nicholas' shoulder. "This is a bad habit. It can make you catch a cold quickly."Nathalie led Nicholas to the chair she had been sitting in and she stood behind him, wiping his hair with the towel."I'm revising some sketches," Nathalie said. "There are materials that are hard to get lately, because of the shortage in the wood market, so I have to find alternative materials."Nicholas looked up and looked at Nathalie whose face looked tired."Don't push yourself too hard, baby," Nicholas said. "You should start training some of your trusted staff to do the more complicated tasks, so they don't have to rely on you all the time.""Yeah, I'm doing that too, honey," Nathalie said, leaning down and kissing

    "Lilian used to be my father's secretary. She was a distant cousin of grandpa Jerome and because her family was poor, but she was kind and diligent, my grandmother made her my father's secretary," Nicholas said while rolling spaghetti on his plate. "She started working not long after my grandfather appointed my father as his successor at The Grand Enterprise.""She said, you will never be able to become the leader of The Grand because that position belongs to Leon," Nathalie said. "I got goosebumps when I saw her face, when she said that. She was so determined that I think she was capable of killing anyone who tried to disturb Leon."Nicholas' face was gloomy. He didn't like to talk about his family, because he himself had never felt comfortable with the real situation there.Other people saw the Grand family as a symbol of unlimited wealth and power, success and glory, but inside, it was not that grand."When I was born, Leon was already four years old," Nicholas said.

    Lilian PoVI started to feel restless, every time I heard my husband talking about Nicholas.Two days ago, Andy said that Nicholas won a tender from a South Korean electronics company that would build two branches here and they would use The Grand Enterprise as their construction partner."Leon, why does it seem so easy for Nicholas to win big tenders?" Andy asked, while we were at the dining table.Leon's spoon and fork stopped moving. I looked up and saw that he had turned a little pale, while Andy continued to eat calmly. To me, it was a dangerous calm."The tender didn't even exist when I took office, dad," Leon answered after a while. "It was just a coincidence, the tender took place when Nicholas filled my position."I felt relieved to hear Leon's answer. At least he didn't keep quiet when his father criticized or criticized him."Then what about the other old projects?" Andy asked again. "Lately, all the staff have been busy digging through the archives of all the delayed proje
