This is it!I already checked everything around the venue. Every guest that we invited was already outside and waiting for our opening. Media that will cover the whole event are also on standby. And of course, the food for guests was also prepared.I made sure that everything is in place, especially our display.We are just waiting for the exact time to start the event when we are launching the partnership between Raiden and Anox, the cars that we have in our displays, and the new method that customers can use in case they can’t afford to buy the cars in cash.“I am nervous,” Art said. He kept walking back and forth as he looked around. “I didn’t expect that there would be a lot of people here.”“Well, I gave an invitation to all the people that are related to Raiden,” I said. “And of course, I also make sure that all the executives and investors are here because there are media who will cover everything that will happen in this event.”“Really?” he asked and I nodded.“And Castiel, m
I can’t help but feel relief as soon as the program that we prepared finally ended.And as of now, everyone is now enjoying the food and drinks that we served, as well as the Anox cars that we put on our display around the area.I can see on their face that they love seeing the new achievements that Raiden got. And they are going to give their full support for it.Raiden’s executives and investors are also pleased and I think the next time I lay out another plan or idea to them, it will not be hard for me to get their approval, especially if I can just show them that this is for the good of their company.And overall, this is a successful launch.“You are the one behind all of this, right?”I turned my back and saw one of the executives of Raiden. “Mister Viella.”He was just looking at me and to be honest, I don’t know how to act in front of him so I just averted my eyes from him.“You should greet me first, Milan,” he said and that made me turn my eyes on him again and this time, he
The whole event finally ended.And when all of the visitors were gone, Enver said that we will have an after-party for all the employees of Raiden. To appreciate all their non-stop effort for the whole week and the celebration of the success of our launch.Since I know am aware of this plan, I already reserved the nearest bar in the venue. I told them to go there and just say my name to the bar owner who I am sure is waiting for us.“You are a hell of a secretary,” Lucien said when he finally entered the bar. “As far as I know, this after-party is Enver’s surprise for the employees yet you manage to reserve this bar just for us ahead of time.”I smiled. “Let’s just say, I know how a boss like Enver thinks.” I slightly pushed him so he will get inside the bar since I still needs to stay here at the entrance of the bar together with the bouncer. I just need to secure that only Raiden employees will enter here at this hour.Well, aside from them, some of the executives decided to come wi
“I still can't believe that the two of you are husband and wife,” Adze said while pointing at me and Enver.I also gave an invitation to them for the event earlier since they are also part of that but they said that they already had a personal plan so I just told them to at least attend the after-party.And we hadn't had enough drinks when they arrived so they just joined our table.Though, Lucien, Simon, and Gavin already left after staying for an only half-hour here since they still have work for tomorrow. Other employees also went home so the place is not that crowded anymore.“Correction, Adze,” I said. “Ex-husband and wife. We were already divorced and moved on from our lives.” I think I drank more than I imagined because I don’t want to say that but I couldn’t stop myself.“Really?” he asked.I nodded. “I filed for divorce and let the ferry deliver it to Enver. She is also the one who finalized it at the court.”“Oh.” He nodded. “Does it mean that you are single?”I nodded. “Sin
A massive headache greeted me as soon as I woke up. And I immediately got up as soon as I saw that I just slept on the sofa.“Oh,” you are already awake,” Millie said. She is standing at the doorway of the kitchen wearing her pink apron. “Good morning, Mommy. Breakfast will be served in ten minutes so please wash your face.”“You cook?”She shook her head and pointed at Mikea who had just got out of the kitchen. “She is here with us all night.”My eyes widened. “What?”“Just wash your face first, Milan,” Mikea said. “I will prepare our breakfast.”I stood up and went inside the bathroom. And that is when I realize that I haven’t changed my clothes. I still wore the same clothes that I used yesterday.I shook my head and decided to change into comfortable clothes since I don’t have to go to work today. Then, I washed my face and after that, I got out of the bathroom.Millie helped Mikea set the table when I got into the dining room so I just sat down.“So? What happened last night?” I
“We have a lot of complaints,” Art put a lot of folders on my table. “And most of them came from our customers.”I didn’t bother to take a look at that folder because I have an idea about its content. And I also didn’t bother to turn my attention to Art and I just stayed looking at my computer. “Just give it to Sir Enver,” I said. “And give a copy to Lucien.”“You are not going to do anything about it?”I sighed and this time, I turned to him. “We have to know Sir Enver and Lucien’s opinion first, Art. And if they can’t find a solution for themselves, then that is when we are going to do something, okay?”Well, I don’t want them to become too dependent on me when it comes to every problem that Raiden faces. Yes, I can do something about the complaint and make sure to stop it but if I am the one who moves, it is not going to be good at Raiden and Enver.They have to remember that I am only here for three months so they can’t count on me for everything.“Oh, right.” He took the folder a
Enver took care of the complaints in his shop while I went to a friend who owns a detective agency. And to be honest, I am not sure if I can convince that one to help me since I know that he is also mad at me.“Ahm, Miss…” I called the receptionist as soon as I reached the floor where my friend’s office was.She looked at me and smiled. “Hi, ma’am. How may I help you?”“Ahm…” I cleared my throat. “I don’t have an appointment but I was wondering if I may speak with Mister Lainz. Just tell him my name.” I put my business card in front of her and she immediately took it.“He doesn’t have anything to do as of this moment but I am not sure if he will entertain you,” she said. “He told me earlier not to disturb him. But I will try.” She took the phone and called the office. And after some time, she looked at me while still in the line. “Ma’am, Mister Lainz said he doesn’t know anyone named Milan Escuero.”I sighed. I am not sure if he is teasing me or if he just doesn't want to face me.I t
“No! I want a high-end Anox car!” That scream greeted me as soon as I entered Raiden’s shop. There is a commotion beside the counter where Enver was still talking with an old woman. And from what I heard I think she is one of the customers that keep insisting on buying Anox cars even though we have a policy regarding that specific car.“Are you not ashamed of what you are doing?” the old woman said. “I am one of your regular customers here, right? Every time you launch a new model or brand of car, I am one of the first customers who buy it to support you. But what the hell are you doing now?”“Madam, we appreciate your support to our company,” Enver said with a calm voice, though I can see in his eyes that his patience is at its limit. “We really do. But those high-end Anox cars are here for a purpose. We cannot sell it to you. I am sorry—”“Shut up!” she screamed again. “I don’t care about any of that. I already said what I want and you will give it to me right now!”“What is happen
