I realized; Carlo was being truthful when he said we’re going to lose the shop. Stupid guy! Just what was he thinking?! I let them do things freely. But to meddle with the old man's property was unforgivable!
Carlo is a bad weed, which meant he wouldn’t die easily. It’s up to karma to bitch whoever did that to him.
I turned around when I heard someone coughing on his drink. He obviously wishes to get my attention. It was the man from earlier. There, buddy. You should know where to put your nose on.
He caught my deadly gaze, the reason why he spilled his drinks.
The man who thought he knew my situation a while ago. The one who interfered with that I was more concerned with money than Carlo's severe condition.
What he wants to see is begging to save my cousin's life. Cry for him. The question is, does crying pay the hospital bill?
It would be best if he joined our conversatio

(Venal POV)I went back to the shop for the real purpose of our visit. To talk to the woman. I found the two women serving our men with milk tea. I just nodded when they stared at me.“Where did you go?” The woman greeted me vigorously. She has had this lively aura around her ever since we first met. Her name is Dahlia Amelia.

My mind didn't get it wrong. Tss.They entered one by one. There were strained smiles on their lips. A kind of smile that feels ashamed of how they look. Somebody beats them for good. I think they had already got what they were looking for.I approached one of them because no one dared to say something. Suddenly I was a little dazzled by the rays of the golden setting sun. Two more men entered; a man looking at me was making the umbrella that was familiar to me.It is my umbrella!I looked up at the long-legged man in front of me. He is the

Cedrick motioned his hand and the lawyer placed an additional suitcase. Cedrick opens it, and the contents are still the same. Money.They are really persistent. I smiled bitterly.“No, thank you.

Even if I did nothing to her.Does this mean, we will be kicked out of the cafe?“Catch them. I've been driving them out of here for a long time. They don't listen to me. Stubborn."

(Yuki POV)“While those bitches you call, have a status in the association.”I give him a forced smile. "I do not care Cedrick. As long my brother Kai was at my side I would never falter.

Well, you're just his secretary and nothing more bond to you with my brother, but your job. He just orders you, and you need to obey. If you make him angry, he might punish you with death.

Nine Months Chapter 93: Weak, Human
(Yuki POV)We arrived at the threshold of the company; I didn't bother to go to the reception desk. I went straight to the executive floor.

Nine Months Chapter 92: The Ghost Writer
(Yuki POV)When Mr. Owen left, I walked around the garden while the servants were taking care of the dog that I murdered. When I couldn't find peace and calm myself, I returned to their presence.

(Yuki's POV)“And who is she Miss Yuki? As you refer her as ‘her.’” I caught his curiosity.“You, yourself gave me that idea having a ghost writer. Didn’t you?” I didn’t bother to answer his inquisitiveness. But confirm with a nod. He likes the idea not only I would have an assistant to my career, also to divert my mood and he sees some hope that I won't take my anger out on him.“Though there is a problem finding her. It is only my brother who can tell me where I can find her. But it's just a simple problem not to compromise your time especially in part of my brother. Tss. She is just a mere aspiring writer. It is easily to find her. If she declines me even though I place a few cases of money in front of her, she is prideful of herself. Didn’t she, Mr. Owen.”“I agree with you on that Miss Yuki.” Tsk. He always agreed in front of me. “I know she will not decline you.”“I hope so. I hope she is like you who sells his integrity.” Then I grinned at him. I slap him with my words so good.

Get some inspiration and they will make a different version so that it won't be seen that they plagiarized it? Don’t you get it Mr. Owen?”In truth, the real reason behind is I don’t want to make the story famous that I didn’t write. If I let them make a movie adoption, it is obvious that a lot of movie enthusiast will love it. It is like a silent bullet for myself, that proves there is someone better than me.I hate it. I don’t want to lose to that mere commoner!Dahlia… Who are you to take everything away from me?! I need to put an end of this.“Miss Yuki. Please consider and think about it.
