Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 24. Are You Sure?
"That's right, Sis. I know it by heart," Cecilia said.Beatrice was even more astonished, "Where did you get the money to buy such nice clothes?"Cecilia clucked her tongue, "I don't know, but I'm sure it couldn't have come from being a shoe repairman."Beatrice nodded, seemingly agreeing with Cecilia's statement. "I suspect that Shane got the money from other sources.""Let's pretend we don't know first, then we'll tell mom and dad when we find out. How about that?" Cecilia said.Beatrice nodded and looked at the contents of the bag again. But there was nothing else in it.Meanwhile, Shane, who had just taken a change of clothes, asked his wife, "Why don't you show your jewelry, dear?"Charlotte, who was cleaning up their dirty clothes, replied, "At first I wanted to show it off, Shane."Shane nodded, "So why didn't you?""Afraid they wouldn't believe that the jewelry was real?" Shane guessed.Charlotte shook her head quickly and grimaced before answering, "I wasn't afraid that they

Charlotte again nodded confidently, "Sure, Shane. I want to fulfill my duty as a wife."Shane smiled so softly and looked at his wife in such a deep gaze that Charlotte became mischievous."Shane, don't look at me like that!" Charlotte said whose face had turned red.Shane chuckled, "Why? Can't you look at your own wife?""Well, it's not like that, I just-"Charlotte could not continue as suddenly Shane's index finger was pressed against her lips making her even more nervous than before.One of her husband's other hands pulled her hair back. Somehow Charlotte's heart started beating many times faster than it should.She also saw her husband who began to move his head closer to her. Charlotte unconsciously gripped her own hand out of nervousness.She automatically closed her eyes slowly. However, something unexpected happened. A soft voice sounded in her ear, "Don't be nervous, dear!"Hearing Shane's last sentence, strangely managed to make the lulled Charlotte regain her consciousne

Charlotte was on the verge of tears, but she tried hard to hold them back. Without saying a word, she nodded at her husband's invitation.Shane quickly took his wife by the hand and picked up his briefcase and left the house quickly.The couple didn't see Barbara outside, but unfortunately bumped into Charles who gave them a disapproving look."What's the hurry?" Charles asked as he carried cleaning tools."Afraid of being late, Dad," Shane replied.Charles snorted, ignoring Shane and instead turning to his daughter, "Did your mother tell you about the shop capital, Charlotte?"Charlotte let out a long sigh, not expecting to be asked that on the street in front of their house."Dad, we'll talk about it later!" Charlotte said softly in a pleading tone.Charles chuckled, "Why? You don't want to provide capital for your parents, do you?"Charlotte's father's tone was clearly raised as if he wanted people in the neighborhood who happened to be passing by to hear what they were talking abo

Shane smiled at his father-in-law and said, "You just need to specify the amount, we will prepare it."Charles frowned in surprise and immediately turned to his daughter, "Is your husband joking or what? Are you trying to fool me or what, Kirana?""Wow, it's bad if it's like that!" another villager said.Charlotte did not want to remain silent and immediately replied, "Shane has said that, so it must be serious, Dad. It can't be a joke.""Where did he get the money?" Charles asked.Charlotte was almost impatient. But even though she didn't know herself she could only answer, "The money is definitely from his job. You just have to accept it."She looked at her husband and hoped that what he said was true. She saw him smile and give a small nod and she felt reassured."Already, Sir. Shane just said it, we'll see if the amount is correct or not.""If it's a lie, it's too much."One man nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's right. What if we become witnesses? If Charlotte and her husba

Faye laughed dismissively, "Oh my! I'm really surprised. You are proud to have a husband who's a shoe solver.""Huh, don't be like that!" Abby said, who had just entered the employee's storage room, joining them. She walked up to Charlotte and said to Faye, "You can't be like that."Faye raised an eyebrow, looking surprised by Abby's words. The look in her eyes seemed to say 'How come you're defending her?'However, her astonishment only lasted for a moment because she then saw Abby embrace Charlotte suddenly and said again, "Charlotte is already an old maid. How thankful is she for a mate, instead of not getting married?"Faye instantly smiled with satisfaction at that, while Abby turned to Charlotte who seemed fine with the insult. "Isn't that right,Charlotte? You must be really happy to be able to get married too. Yes, even though she only got a shoe repairman," Abby said, flashing a sweet smile that was meant to mock Charlotte.Charlotte casually removed Abby's hand from her sh

Charlotte did not need to turn around to recognize the person with the voice. It was still the same person, Faye.And as expected, Abby next joined the woman as she added. "Charlotte, did you forget that your husband's profession is just a shoe repairman? Yes, there's a lot of unemployment, Charlotte.""Oh, yes too. His working hours are free." Faye responded with a chuckle."Not like our husbands whose working hours are fixed. Charlotte's husband can pick up now because there are fewer customers," Abby continued.Faye asked, "Is that so? Is your husband having fewer customers? Do you need help? How about getting my broken shoes repaired by your husband?"Charlotte still did not move to respond to the two people's words. She wanted to go straight home because she was too lazy to respond to the unimportant remarks. She finally just said, "Sorry, Faye. I don't think I can. Anyway, I'll go back first, Abby, Faye. My husband is waiting for me."Abby clucked her tongue and instead caught

"Really?" Charlotte asked again, still in a surprised tone.Shane nodded, "Yes, yes. You asked for that much." Shane answered with a casual expression."So where did you get it, Shane?" Charlotte repeated. The woman found it hard to believe. It seemed too strange to her. Oh, she thought that anyone would be suspicious of a husband who claimed to only work as a shoe repairman, but in fact had such a large amount of money.In fact, now the husband managed to earn ten thousand dollars in just one day. How could the woman not be suspicious?She had just been thinking about how much money her husband had spent. Now he added to her confusion by saying something that made her doubts increase dramatically."From work, Charlotte. Where else do you get it from?" Shane replied with a smile.Charlotte sighed, "Shane, I'm serious. From you ... repairing shoes? Can you earn ten thousand dollars in a day?"Shane immediately looked deeply at his wife. He tried to find something in her eyes and fin

"Come in first, how can you talk outside?" Cecilia said curtly.The woman invited Beatrice to come inside.Charlotte sighed, starting to get a bad feeling.Meanwhile, Shane, who was standing right beside his wife, whispered, "Calm down!"Charlotte shook her head, "How can I calm down, Shane? Did you hear what Cecilia and Beatrice said earlier? Share the money, Shane. Who would want to share money?""Uh, I remember you said that you didn't give it to your father today. Didn't you, Shane? Why are you collecting now?" Charlotte said impatiently.Shane nodded instead, patiently saying softly. "Let's just go in first, shall we? Later we can find out what the truth is."Charlotte reluctantly stepped inside with her husband. Once inside, she could see that in the not-so-large living room, her father and mother were already sitting together with her two younger siblings.Charlotte chose to sit on the right side with Shane beside her. Just as they sat down, Barbara asked, "So when did you give

Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 53. A Warning
The girl did not stop there. She immediately stepped closer to Shane who was about to get into his car.Shane immediately stepped back. Unfortunately, Queen was one step ahead of the handsome man and she quickly blocked the door with her hand.Shane sighed in exasperation, not understanding the young girl's way of thinking. "Answer, Shane! Why are you still hiding your wife's identity?" Queen urged Shane who was now standing a few steps away from her with Ferry who was starting to look anxious."Why would I answer that?" Shane retorted through gritted teeth as he almost lost his self-control.Queen sneered, "Oh, come on. Don't go around in circles! All you have to do is answer why you didn't introduce her publicly.""In fact, Aric said he didn't know anything about the girl you married. Isn't that very strange?" Queen added with a furrowed brow.When that name was mentioned, of course Shane could no longer tolerate Queen's attitude which was still bothering him.So, with great restr
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 52. The Best Woman
"No," Shane said, who had taken one step forward.Agatha's lips trembled as she replied, "You didn't lie, Sir?"Shane sighed, "Have I ever lied?"Indeed not. Everyone knew that their boss always told the truth and never broke his word if he had promised something.Before leaving, Shane said, "And as for Agatha's replacement, we'll discuss it in three days. In the meantime, all of Agatha's duties will be handled by Ferry."Ferry, who seemed to have guessed that her boss would speak like that and pointed at her, only replied with a nod.After finishing his business at the French restaurant, Shane immediately went to Brokefield. The young man attended a meeting for almost two hours there. He did not feel bored at all, as if he was used to his routine as a young businessman.Indeed, he was the heir apparent of Lee Shoes, but he also had his own business to take care of. So, he also tried to divide his time so that all his affairs could run smoothly.Ferry, his personal assistant, played
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 51. Calm Down!
Agatha of course could not possibly argue. Especially with the cold and flat tone of voice that Shane had used earlier.She was forced to say, "Fair, sir.""I ... thank you for giving me a chance to make things right. I promise I will never repeat my actions again. Nor will I ever-""Wait a minute!" Shane said suddenly, making Agatha stop talking.Shane frowned, "I haven't reinstated your position yet. Your friends haven't even voted yet. So, you ... don't need to thank me."Agatha nodded in understanding.Then the girl moved her head and instantly she seemed to have a lot of confidence again. She did not even hesitate to stare at the employees one by one and put on her best smile. She also threw a look at them as if to say, "Choose me. I'm counting on you."Once she was sure that they would vote for her again, Agatha said to Shane, "I am ready, Sir. When will they be asked to vote?"Shane looked astonished at the girl's overconfident demeanor. But he couldn't comment on it and coul
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 50. What Are the Conditions?
Agatha's beautiful gray contact lens-covered eyes widened perfectly at once, "You mean ... what? I don't understand, Sir."Shane sighed again, looking very tired.Ferry and some of the staff who knew Shane's character quite well realized that the super-handsome man was currently holding a great deal of resentment towards his employee.Shane was about to fire Agatha but he was the head of the European-style restaurant so he couldn't just dismiss people for flimsy reasons.Nor can he just walk away or ignore small problems that occur.Besides, Le Restaurant Jules Verne De S was the first restaurant he had built without his father's involvement so he would never willingly let the place have a bad image."Ferry," Shane called out.Ferry hurriedly handed Agatha a laptop.The girl quickly wiped away the tears that had fallen and looked confused at Shane."Just look at it!" Shane ordered again.Shane mo

"What is it, Mr. Shane?" Miko asked in astonishment.Shane immediately asked while pointing at Bagas who seemed to be talking to two men, "He ... is he an employee of this company?"Of course for that matter Miko had absolutely no idea and he turned to the young man standing beside him, asking for help.So the one who answered was Ferry who was always in the company as Shane's assistant who would do any work according to his orders, "He should be, Sir. He's wearing the company's employee identification card here."Shane immediately looked at the dark blue object hanging around Percy's neck and understood.Ferry added, "The blue color indicates that he is an employee or staff, the green color indicates that he is an employee in the production department, while red is for visitors or guests."Shane nodded and replied with a bit of offense, "I know the explanation of the colors, I just didn't pay much attention to the sign."Ferry

"Of course, Mr. Lee," Ferry replied obediently.In just a few seconds Ferry had prepared a file of the employee data referred to by Shane on a special tablet that Shane used for work.Shane immediately read the list without wasting time.However, just after he had read a few pages, Ferry said, "Sir, the meeting is about to start."Shane reluctantly handed the tablet back to his personal assistant and said, "I'll read it again later.""Yes, Sir. I will tell Mr. Damian later," Ferry replied.Shane got up from his chair and walked to the meeting room that was located only a few meters away from his room.The staff and employees who were not participating in the meeting looked up when they saw the handsome man who was the heir to Lee Shoes walking with his young assistant.A young girl staring at him without blinking said, "Why does he have to get married anyway? Being handsome and already owned by someone doesn't seem like s
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 47. That Busy?
Miko could only shrug, "I can't confirm that either, Sir."It wasn't that he didn't want to say that, but he himself felt that there wasn't much."So what? You are the one who meets Mr. Lee the most. Don't you know, Sir?" Damian asked again.Miko shook his head. He looked around the office on that floor, as if to make sure that no one would hear what he was saying.It would be very dangerous if anyone was listening to their conversation. Moreover, it was the leader's personal matter which was of course very confidential.Damian himself was quite hopeful that Miko would provide useful information for him since he didn't know too much about the company's leader.Miko said quietly, "I actually don't meet Mr. Lee often. Only a few times, when he was with his wife."Hearing that explanation, Damian couldn't resist asking, “Uh, Sir. What is Mr. Lee's wife like? Pretty?"Miko smiled, "Beautiful for sure, but ... Mr. Lee's
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 46. Lying How?
Charlotte was of course annoyed, but she knew that whatever she said now would not change anything so she simply said, "I take my leave for work first, Dad, Mom. And ... congratulations, Gas for the promotion. Cecilia, I go first. It's getting late."Cecilia nodded with a happy smile, as if she'd managed to get one step ahead of her sister, while Barbara and Charles didn't respond to their daughter's words, ignoring her as if she wasn't there.Percy said, "When it's official, I'll invite you and Shane for the celebration."Charlotte responded with a small nod and quickly left the house after saying her greetings.She was not jealous. Not at all. She just did not want to hear any more insults or ridicule from her own family about her or her husband.Because, if she heard any more, she would definitely not be able to bear it anymore and would probably come out with a defense that might make her family upset with her.Me
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 45. Do You Understand?
However, Agatha could do nothing else. She knew that she could only wait for tomorrow in silence.Meanwhile, Charlotte and Shane were still on their way to their house. If they had previously walked to the French restaurant, now they were back in a car whose driver Charlotte had memorized.Charlotte observed her husband who had just turned off his cell phone and did not hesitate to ask, "Why, Shane? How come his face is so serious."Shane winked and reflexively touched his own face, "Is it?""Yes. From the moment we got out of the restaurant, you were silent, then you looked really serious while holding your cell phone," Charlotte explained.Shane suddenly changed his facial expression and smiled at his wife, "Oh, you were still a bit upset earlier. Then this is serious when you're contacting people for work.""Oh, I see," Charlotte replied while nodding, not suspicious at all.Shane then said, "Charlotte, about the money for father, shall we give it tomorrow? I don't mean to procrast
