"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

Just as they sat down, Barbara asked, "So when did you give
"Honey, take it easy. Inshallah there is a way," Shane said so casually.Charlotte wanted to ask further questions, but her husband said again, "Come on, take a shower first!""But, about that-""You don't need to think about it, I'll take care of it," Shane cut in while winking his left eye at Charlotte.Charlotte sighed and chose not to ask again. By not asking she thought that it would not make Shane feel uncomfortable. Because, if she questioned him more, she was worried he would think she did not believe in his ability.According to her, a man does not like to be underestimated and would love to be given trust. So, Charlotte chose to really put her trust in her husband.In the early morning after the dawn prayer, Charlotte asked, "Shane, may I go to the market?"Shane, who had just folded his sarong after returning from the mosque, asked back, "Do you want to do a lot of shopping?""Yes, I'm running out of groceries," the woman replied as she picked up her purse."Do you still
"Find out why they lied, then take the next step," Shane replied.Charlotte gave up, her husband was too kind. Even though the money used by her mother and father was Shane's money, the man seemed to have no problem with the money used for unclear purposes."Tell you what, let's leave this matter alone. We-" Shane couldn't continue because he was suddenly pushed forward and almost fell down."Shane, is it okay?" Charlotte asked while holding her husband's obviously heavy body.Shane nodded and straightened up. Before he could turn around, he heard someone call out, "Move aside! If you want to talk, don't do it in the middle of the road."His voice sounded harsh, causing Charlotte to take offense. The woman turned her head to see a stocky man with a towering height.She fearlessly said, "Yes, but you can say it nicely, right? Not that kind of pushy?"The man laughed sarcastically, "Wow! It turns out that you are brave little Charlotte."Hearing her name mentioned by the man, Charlot
Oliver laughed dismissively, "You can't make this up, Charlotte! How could your husband, who is just a shoe repairman, give you that much money?"Charlotte replied quickly. "Well, then if you don't believe me, you can ask my father or my younger siblings. After all, it was my younger sister who got the money from my husband."Oliver laughed out loud at Charlotte's words. He also shook his head, indicating that he really thought Charlotte's explanation was just a joke.She also saw Oliver glance at Shane with a mocking glance that was so obvious that Charlotte was annoyed, "Why are you laughing? Is there anything funny about my words?"Meanwhile, Shane only looked at the man who was much older than him with a flat stare."There is, yes you are the funny one, Charlotte," Oliver said after he stopped laughing."What do you mean?" Shane said while trying desperately to contain his irritation. Because, by now it was getting afternoon, the sunlight had started to appear slowly. More people
Charlotte widened her eyes in shock. "Dad, that's not what I meant.""It's not like that, you're obviously bringing it up," Charles snapped back.Shane immediately grabbed his wife's arm, Charlotte looked back at her husband and then she heard him say, "Enough, darling!"The woman couldn't do anything else. There was no way she could argue with her husband who had clearly signaled her to shut up and not reply. Barbara looked at the submissive Charlotte and clucked her tongue, looking rather annoyed."Sorry, Dad, Mom. Charlotte has spoken impolitely.""Hm, it's good that you realize," Charles said.Barbara chimed in, "You weren't like this before, Charlotte. You used to be more silent, but now you keep arguing. Are you the Shane who taught Charlotte to be brave with her own parents?"Charlotte really did not expect her father to speak like that. She thought that even though her father was upset, he would not go as far as blaming Rayan continuously, but in fact now her husband was bein
Charlotte was indeed annoyed at her coworker who was always pestering her, but she was currently in a situation where she had to remain professional. Hence, the not-so-light-skinned woman only replied in a low tone, "Faye, do you want to help me or not?"Charlotte did not wait for Faye's reply and immediately went back to greeting the customer who had begun to put down her groceries.Faye could only smile wryly while helping Charlotte to pack the customer's goods without being able to bother Charlotte anymore.She was forced to hold her tongue until the end of their working hours. "Wow! Charlotte, who was that handsome guy?" One of Charlotte’s coworkers asked when Charlotte took her small backpack from the locker.Charlotte closed her eyes for a moment to make herself much calmer while facing those people who might intend to hurt her heart.It was Faye who replied, "Charlotte's ex-boyfriend. Isn't he cool? I don't think he's just a random person."Abby, who happened to have just ent
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
"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
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
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
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
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
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
