Shane stared at his wife whose forehead suddenly puckered. He knew very well that she was holding a big question.Not wanting to make his wife wonder anymore, Shane did not delay in answering, "From books. You know that books are the window to the world. Anything can be learned from there."Charlotte relaxed a little at that answer, but she was still not satisfied. "But how come you're so fluent like that, Shane? Like you're already a pro."Shane smiled softly in response to his wife's response, who still had an unsure look in her eyes, "Yes, because I like to learn, so I don't half-ass it."Charlotte let out a long sigh. She knew her husband was no fool. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get clients or customers from the upper class.Her husband had excellent communication skills and she could see it in the way Shane spoke to the waitress earlier."Do you still have questions about the French?" Shane asked with a calm expression.Charlotte shook her head. Even if she asked ag
As soon as Shane and his wife left the French restaurant, the woman who had insulted Kirana earlier seemed to faint and fell to the floor.Some of the diners looked at her strangely, but she didn't seem to care."Oh, shit. What did I just do?" the woman ruffled her hair, feeling so frustrated.A female waitress approached her and said timidly, "Ms. Agatha, are you alright?"Two male waiters, including the one who served Shane and Charlotte, stood awkwardly with their faces already looking deathly pale.Agatha swatted away the servants' hands and snapped, "It's your fault. Why didn't you tell me that Mr. Shane was here?"The maidservant was immediately frightened while the male servant turned even paler.Exasperated, the woman in the fiery red suit said, "Come to my room right now. All of you!"Agatha got up and pointed with her index finger at the three maids as well as the two other staff who were already trembling in fear.In a fit of rage, Agatha walked to the room on the second fl
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
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
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
"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
"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
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
Before answering Abby's question, Faye giggled.Abby, who didn't understand Faye's strange behavior, only raised her eyebrows in confusion.But the woman who had just gotten married a few months ago calmed down her laughter and asked her friend to come closer to her. "What the hell, Faye?" Abby asked with a lazy expression because she thought Faye looked mysterious. Faye smiled wryly and replied, "Sis, that must be Mita's sugar daddy."Abby, who understood the meaning of the term mentioned by Mita, widened her eyes in shock. "Why sugar daddy? What does that have to do with Mita?" Abby asked still with an astonished and clueless look. Faye clicked her tongue impatiently and then spoke in a mocking tone, "Sist, don't you know what people are talking about with that Mita?"Abby just shrugged her shoulders because she didn't really understand the gossip about the new employee that she never paid attention to. "Uh, never mind, why did you say there was a sugar daddy," Abby pleaded.Fa
Mita suddenly smiled sadly and it made Shane stare at the girl with a puzzled look. "What's wrong, Mita?" Shane asked curiously. Mita looked back as if to make sure that Charlotte had not walked towards them. "You don't know that there are many people in this bakery shop who don't like her? Uh ... I mean, the boys are normal, but there are so many female employees who kind of dislike her or you could say maybe they're jealous," Mita explained.The girl sighed and then explained further, "Many of them often gossip about her. And then there are people who insinuate and even say insolent things too.""At first I thought it was just a few people but when I was here longer and paid attention to them, it turned out that there were far more people who didn't like her. I really wonder what they have in mind?" Mita said, this time sounding annoyed and with a hint of anger in her tone. Shane responded, "I know she does have haters here and-""Uh, if you know, why don't you just tell him to
"That's your husband, right? How come ... it's a bit different from what I saw yesterday?" Mita responded and it managed to break Charlotte's brief reverie as she wondered at the shocked expression on her husband's face. Charlotte immediately turned to Mita and replied, "Oh, yesterday he was wearing his friend's fancy suit so ... it looked really cool but now he's wearing his usual clothes."Mita nodded without asking further questions. Charlotte then invited Mita to approach her husband who looked like a statue at that moment. "Have you been waiting for a long time?" Charlotte asked her husband.Shane, who seemed to be daydreaming, immediately looked surprised and replied to his wife quickly, "Oh no, dear. I just got here."He glanced at Mita who was holding back a smile when she heard him say the word "Dear"."Oh yeah, she is my coworker and she's only been working here for two weeks," Charlotte said.Shane only gave a small nod as if he didn't want to look at Mita but the girl v
Charlotte fell silent as soon as she heard Mita's words which this time sounded very curious or rather very enthusiastic. Seeing Charlotte who was silent and did not answer her, Mita looked at her with confusion. But when she realized something, the young girl immediately raised her hand and made a gesture as if she was rejecting what Charlotte was thinking.Mita quickly said, "Charlotte, don't misunderstand me! I ... didn't mean anything by it. I don't like people's husbands either. Take it easy!"The girl said very convincingly and Charlotte judged that Mita did not seem to be lying. Uh, Charlotte who had been suspicious of the young girl became uneasy. She felt that she had a small mind to think that there was something that Mita wanted. Charlotte immediately shook her head quickly and then touched Mita's hand, "I'm sorry ... You were just thinking strangely. But, I trust you."Mita let out a sigh of relief. The girl touched Charlotte's hand back and then said softly, "You jus
Charlotte shook her head firmly, "Not all corporal punishment can have a deterrent effect on the offender.""How so?" Mita stared at the woman with an astonished look. Ever since she was a little girl she had always received corporal punishment if she made a mistake. As a result, she was always scared when she was about to make that mistake so in the end she chose to be careful not to get punished. It made her a person who did not want to make the same mistake so that she could escape punishment. "Yes, sometimes such physical punishment makes the offender afraid but it usually only lasts temporarily. There are times when he has a sense of resentment and eventually the feeling of retaliation returns," Charlotte explained.Mita immediately thought hard. Suddenly the young girl smiled strangely as she remembered how she had done what Charlotte had mentioned as an adult. In her childhood, she had been so deterred by the fear of punishment that she did not dare to do anything wrong.
Being asked about such an important matter immediately made Ferry think seriously and she also wanted to help the leader."Charlotte ... do you think my wife will be angry that I hid everything from her?" Shane asked when Ferry had not even suggested a way out for him.Ferry lifted her face and replied in a tone that sounded very careful, "Sir, you hid your identity and so many other things from Ms. Charlotte because you had to. You didn't just want to lie to her."The young man paused for a moment and continued, "You had very good reasons for doing so and I am very sure that Ms. Charlotte would not have been angry with you."Shane was not convinced and although he knew how tender his wife's heart was, he thought that no one would like to be lied to.However, what Ferry said was also one of the reasons that made him hopeful that Charlotte would be able to see things from his point of view."Maybe ... Ms. Charlotte wil
Actually, Queen seemed reluctant to answer or reply to the employee's words that she thought were not important.However, when she saw Shane's stiff and cold expression, she knew that if she didn't reply, Rayan would definitely be much angrier at her.So, she reluctantly said, "Well, how can you believe that even though everyone seems to know about your marriage, Shane. In fact, it was your family who told me about your marriage and still ... there is no proof."The girl chuckled and seemed to really not believe Shane or Ferry's explanation.While adjusting her hair which was currently dyed light brown she said again, "Even if it is not officially announced about the real identity of your wife, shouldn't there at least be a photo or a small description of what her name or origin is even if it is just initials."Queen shrugged her shoulders as if in contempt of how Shane was just telling a big lie to make her jealous.
Shane without hesitation nodded and said, "I'll choose the menu and you arrange the delivery, okay?""Yes, Sir," Ferry replied obediently.Miko, who overheard the conversation, also smiled and felt that Shane's attention towards Charlotte was very great.When Shane had chosen the menu that his wife would probably like, Ferry immediately contacted his boss's restaurant to prepare the food and deliver it to the minimarket."Wow! Ms. Charlotte must be so happy to be really taken care of by you," Miko teased, which immediately made Shane chuckle."This is just normal, Sir. I just want my wife to be able to eat without having to go to the neighborhood convenience store," Shane said.He went on to say, "So she won't be too tired."Ferry smiled at the answer and responded, "Mr. Shane is very considerate and I'm sure Ms. Charlotte won't get tired, Sir."Shane just shook his head at the two's jokes but he s
Ferry was actually quite surprised by Shane's request.Shane Lee that he knew was not someone who chose to do unimportant things like taking care of other people's lives. However, when he remembered Miko's story about his boss's life as a son-in-law who was insulted and humiliated by his wife's family, he could easily understand what Shane was doing.He quickly nodded his head, "Yes, Sir. Then, what else would you like to order?" "Nothing for now. You ... can relax until lunchtime," Shane said.Ferry nodded obediently then she quickly left the boss's office. He wandered around the inner area of the bookstore and met some of the employees. There were 10 employees working at the place and all of them were students.They work alternately and come to the character at an uncertain time. Ferry was initially very surprised by the system in the store but after he heard the whole story of Shane, he even admired the kindness of her boss. Shane deliberately built the shop not only to satis
