"Mr. Kirin and Mr. Ren, see you again on Wednesday. There are still some discussions on merger and management issues which seem to require the presence of not only me, but also other directors," said Nicholas while shaking the hands of the lawyers.Mr. Kirin and Mr. Ren bowed in salute, then shook hands with Josephine as well."Congratulations on your new position, Ms. Josephine. We will assist you with legal matters and your assignment letter will be made and sent as soon as possible," said Mr. Kirin politely."Welcome to the Genesis Group, Ms. Josephine," added Mr. Ren.Josephine nervously accepted the two lawyers' congratulations. Nicholas led Josephine out of the Laveria building and back into the car."Nicholas, wait," Josephine said, grabbing Nicholas' hand before exiting the building door. She still felt giddy and unsure of what was happening at the moment.Just a few minutes ago, she signed the papers approving herself as the new director of Farline Tech, the company founded a
"Are you serious, Joy? Italy? You ask me to go to Italy with you and the triplets?" Anna's eyes widened."Nicholas told me that I can bring my friend along. He will take care everything for us," said Josephine. "Do you wanna come?""Nicholas? Nicholas Adams?"Josephine thought of asking Mrs. Prim and Anna to come to Italy, because Nicholas said she could take them. However, Mrs. Prim refuses because her cousin will be arriving from Thailand in the near future, so Josephine invites Anna."Yes. Nicholas asked me to invite one or two people along. Mr. Prim can go with us because her nephew will come next week.""What's going on in Italy? Honeymoon?""I wouldn't take you and Mrs. Prim for our honeymoon," Josephine argued irritably. "So, do you want to come or not?""Of course I'm coming," said Anna quickly. "Yeay, Italy!"Josephine took her phone out of her jacket pocket. "Nicholas, are you busy?" said Josephine after Nicholas received her call."No baby, just some normal work. What's
"I'm hungry, Ann, coffee isn't enough," said Lynn, rubbing his stomach. "I've had so many patients since earlier and I even skipped my lunch."Anna patted Lynn's stomach gently with a smile. She knew that even without many patients, Lynn often forgot to eat his lunch. He is someone who loves to read and find out about things, loves to read so much that sometimes, when he's too late in reading or whatever he wants to know, Lynn will lose time."Lynn, I know you're busy," Anna said softly. "You're a doctor and not only that, you're a good doctor and you have a lot of patients. However, you shouldn't neglect yourself. You don't even have time for me these days."Lynn rubbed Anna's cheek guiltily. "I'm sorry, Anna. I really don't want to let you down, but I can't just leave my patient either."Anna stared at Lynn for a moment, then nodded with a smile. She didn't want to burden Lynn and be an inconsiderate and cranky lover."I know of a good restaurant near the food court in the mall. Let
"Are you kidding?" whispered Josephine. "You didn't say Lynn was coming."Anna blushed. She took a deep breath. There was no way she'd told Josephine that Lynn was coming because he was worried for her safety knowing that they would be going with Nicholas. That would definitely ruin their friendship in an instant.Anna was also a little annoyed with Lynn, but she had no choice. "I'm sorry, Joy. I only mentioned this trip in passing and suddenly Lynn said he wanted to go. He even got his passport and visa ready right away."Josephine's eyes narrowed. Her suspicions that there is a special relationship between Anna and Lynn are growing.She forms a V with his fingers and gestures with her eyes. "I'll be keeping an eye on you two. Just watch!" said Josephine fiercely. "You're hiding something from me and I guess it's useless to get it straight out of your mouth, so I'm going to watch and catch you two red-handed. Just watch!"Anna scowled and Josephine glared at her. Nicholas approached
"You're going too?" Josephine asked."I don't know yet," Nicholas replied. "There are guests who will meet me here, but after that, I'll just take a look at the situation first, whether to go or not.""All right, then. I hope you will come with us on the next trip. Take care, Nicholas," said Josephine, kissed Nicholas on the cheek before getting into the car.The triplets waved to Nicholas. "Bye, Uncle Nicholas. We will take great photos and videos and send them to you.""Bye, kids, take care of each other and your mom. Have fun," said Nicholas. He smiled at Josephine. "Bye baby!"Nicholas went back inside the castle after the car was gone and called Ben. "Ben, get everyone together in an hour here," Nicholas said.Less than an hour later, about twenty cars, convoy entered the castle. They were higher ups members of the Italian branch of the Gold Dragon clan, with their own bodyguards.Nicholas comes to Italy this time, not only to find his old friend, whom he will enlist to mentor Jo
Josephine takes the children on a visit to the Trevi Fountain. There is Very lively atmosphere. Many tourists take pictures in front of the fountain. Voices of people conversing in various foreign languages filled the air. Children were running and screaming.Josephine has never visited any tourist attractions in Metronine since she was little, let alone abroad.When the family has tours anywhere, Josephine is never invited to participate and is always left to look after the house.Now, having grown up and even having three children, for the first time Josephine traveled abroad and visited this very beautiful place, it made her feel like she was choking."Mom, let's go there," said Flower while tugging at Josephine's hand."Yeah, let's go there," said Sky. "Let's take as many photos as we can. Come on, Auntie Anna, Uncle Lynn!"Lynn, Anna and Josephine divided up the chores, holding one child each, so they wouldn't get lost in a crowded place. The triplets are very happy and commen
"It's getting late, let's go home," said Lynn. "I don't know this place and I think, even if Mr. Adams has bodyguards behind us, it will be safer if we get home before it gets too dark."Josephine agreed to Lynn's words and invited the children to return to the castle.When they arrived at the castle, the maids were busy preparing dinner dishes. Nicholas heard the arrival of the car carrying Josephine and her entourage coming from the window of his study on the second floor. He immediately came down to greet them.Flower immediately ran into Nicholas' arms. The man laughed and hugged Flower tightly. "Hey pretty girl. Did you have fun?""Yes, yes, Uncle Nicholas, I'm very happy. I bought gelato ice cream, took many photos, ran in the park, and ate very dry and delicious pizza," Flower said enthusiastically.Anna and Lynn exchanged glances at Nicholas' interaction with Flower. Secretly in his heart, Lynn admired Nicholas' sincerity in treating Flower so lovingly. He felt a little guilt
Towards midnight, after feeling that the conversation between the three of them was clear enough, about what situations and conditions would be encountered in Farline Tech, Nicholas and Josephine finally escorted Rocco back to his car.Evenings in Italy at this time were quite bright and warm, so they didn't feel like they were spending time chatting about business and management, interspersed with light and sometimes funny topics, making the time fly by unnoticed.Nicholas also ordered three bodyguards to escort Rocco to the house, even though he refused."Come on Nic, I've lived here for years and am used to traveling alone," Rocco said sullenly. "You treat me like a foreign tourist and that's embarrassing."Nicholas's eyebrows rose. "Don't you realize who you are? Why are you traveling alone when I know you can afford bodyguards, not just one or two, but a platoon at a time? Your life is very precious, Mr. Margini."Rocco clicked his tongue. "I'm just an ice cream cafe owner on a t
