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

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

Manhattan, New York“You don't earn much and you're already 32. You'd better get married before you become a spinster.”The long, curly-haired woman named Barbara sighed in exasperation as she glanced at her daughter, Charlotte, who was about to leave for work.“I'm tired of people calling you a ‘spinster’. Besides, if you get married, your husband can help give me some extra money,” she continued lightlyCharlotte was silent, with no intention of replying to her mother. Instead, she wanted to leave, but then her father's voice reached her.“If you can't find a husband, I'll find one for you. You just have to accept it,” Charles said, enjoying his hot coffee without bothering to turn to his daughter when he spoke.The good girl with a thin body immediately froze where she stood, unable to move for a few seconds. What is this? Does this mean she's being forced into marriage? She was going to be set up as a match? Is that so?Charlotte wanted to turn around and immediately refute he

Cecilia also added, “Instead of becoming a spinster, Sister. Just accept it, after all, no one necessarily wants you, right? Who else would you be waiting for?”The two younger siblings seemed so united in their support for their parents' idea. However, Charlotte was still tongue-tied so she couldn't immediately argue.“All your friends are married, you're the only one who isn't. Aren't you ashamed that you haven't married yourself?” Barbara added with a stern tone.Charlotte wet her lips and finally said, “No, Mom. I don't like being set up.”Beatrice and Cecilia were eager to speak again but Barbara told them to be quiet first. “Uh, I don't like your refusal. They're already planning to come here,” Barbara began to sound angry.“It's just a plan, Mom. It can be canceled,” Charlotte replied.Charles, annoyed by her reply, said, “Don't embarrass me! Anyway, you just get ready. Next week you propose to Oliver.”“But, Dad. I-”“I don't want to know, you have to marry that rich widower.

Concern suddenly enveloped Charlotte's heart. Obviously it was a very difficult choice. Even though Oliver was someone who liked to play with women, he still had sufficient assets. Her life would definitely be guaranteed if she chose Oliver. However, the thought of having to watch that person play with another woman made it impossible for her to endure it. Meanwhile, if she chose Shane, who was just a shoe sole maker, the economic problem was clearly at hand. “Charlotte, answer there quickly,” Barbara ordered with a stern expression. Charlotte's daydreams were shattered. She looked back at the man whose name she didn't yet know with a confused look. "Why do you want to marry me?" Beatrice, who was sitting next to her mother, immediately spoke up, "Jeez, Charlotte. If you ask, just accept it." "If you don't want to be with Oliver, it's fine if you want this one," Charles said, without mentioning the young man's name. Meanwhile, Cecilia, who was still dressed neatly, clicked he

"But, Mom. We're-" "Sweat it up!" Barbara interrupted, pointing at the floor while she sat on the sofa with her husband, two other daughters and two sons-in-law. Charlotte clenched her fists in annoyance. She was forced to bend down to fold the mat. But, unexpectedly, Shane held her arm, as if forbidding her to do that. Barbara raised her right eyebrow, "Huh, what are you waiting for, Charlotte?" "Shane," Charlotte called in a confused tone. Shane said, "You just go inside, I'll take care of it." Beatrice, who heard this, immediately blurted out, "Oh, so sweet!" She also clapped for Shane but then added, "Then don't forget to wash these dirty glasses too, okay?" She used his eyes to tell Shane. Charlotte said, "Shane, I-" "You just come in," Shane said. Charlotte shook her head but Shane insisted, "You just come in. Trust me, I'll take care of it." The young woman really wanted to argue, but seeing her new husband's unwilling gaze, she suddenly complied and finally went in

Shane wasn't offended and instead smiled a little, "Yeah. There's no way I could give my wife money that wasn't the result of my work." Charlotte was stunned by the way Shane referred to her. She stammered back, “Shane, but it's ten thousand dollars. This is the same as my salary for five months, Shane." "All this is the result of fixing shoes?" Charlotte said, still looking in disbelief. "Yes, you already know that I am a shoe sole maker," Shane nodded, confirming Charlotte's words. However, Charlotte still didn't have that answer and asked again, "How long did it take you to collect this money, Shane?" Shane replied, "Okay, you don't need to think about that. The important thing is that you just use it." Charlotte still looked doubtful and unsure. But when she remembered that her mother needed additional capital money for a small shop in the market that had been closed for a week, she immediately asked her husband quietly, "Shane, if that's the case, can I give this to my mo

Charlotte was stunned when she heard the unfortunate words of her mother and father. "Oh my God, Dad, Mom. How can you say that? Sean already bought this for a lot of money, Mom. He bought it at-" "Expensive? What did you buy? Burger? Kentucky chicken in front of the convenience store?" Barbara interrupted with a lazy look. Before Charlotte could answer, Charles, who was smoking, said, "What's expensive? 3 dollars at most. You're giving your mom and dad obscure fringe food." "It's not fringe food. I bought this at ...." The girl didn't continue, as Shane touched her arm again. Her handsome husband shook his head as if asking Charlotte not to say anything. Shane took over, "Well, if you don't want to eat it, let me deliver it to Aunt Rosalia's house." Barbara replied nonchalantly, "Oh, good. We also can't eat food that is not clear like that." "Yes, yes. Rosalia is often short of food. Just throw it over there!" Charles added in a mocking tone. Charlotte was increasingly surpri

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
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 49. Le Restaurant Jule Verne De 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

"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 ...

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
