Sean, the five-year-old boy immediately looked up at Felix, “Uncle.”With a smile still on his lips, Felix walked over and saw the boy holding several sheets of paper. Sean was sitting cross-legged on the ground full of manicured and clean green grass. “What are you playing?” Felix asked in a tone full of curiosity. “I want to build an airplane, Uncle.”Felix was intrigued, “An airplane? Can you do it?”“Of course, I can.”“Oh yeah? Can you see it?” Felix was even more enthusiastic.Sean nodded slowly but the little boy frowned, as if in doubt.The man sat down on the ground, right in front of the boy. He stared at the boy who had started folding the paper. His attention never strayed from the tiny hands. The more he watched, the funnier he found Sean. And for the first time, he thought that a child was cute.However, after Felix waited for a few minutes, the little boy seemed to fail repeatedly while making it. His calm expression was disturbed to the point where Mikael felt a
Claire tried to control himself and said, “Welcome to the Himalayan Resort, Mrs. Michel.”Christine looked at her granddaughter in surprise as she heard Claire speak formally. But it was because of her own grandmother's words that had excluded her from the Michel family records that it was appropriate for her to address her grandmother as such.Moreover, Christine Michel was currently their guest, so it was only fitting that Claire should do so.Jasmine looked questioningly at her sister, while Ludwig was suddenly silent.“Claire,” Lindsay called.“You work here?” Henry asked.Claire nodded, “Yes. I heard there was a complaint about the Cleveland area. I'm sorry, that area is occupied and cannot be occupied for the next week, it will be available next week.”Christine smiled sarcastically, “Oh, you work here apparently.”“Yes, I do.”Jasmine, who didn't like the situation, said in a lazy tone, “Alright, Gran. Let's just move to another resort.”These words startled Claire.Jasmine? Wh
Felix laughed in exasperation, “You're joking too much, Helen.”Helen replied, “I'm not joking, Felix. You guys are really very similar. If you don't believe me, look at your childhood photos and compare them to Sean.”Helen looked so serious but Felix still didn't take his sister's words seriously.Felix even ignored her.Unfortunately, Helen was still persistent and didn't want to give up so easily.Helen said again, “I'm serious. You'll understand what I mean.”Felix scratched his earlobe, “Hey, I do change women a lot, but I always use safety.”Actually, Felix was a bit annoyed if he had to talk about his sexual activities, even if it was with his own biological sister. However, he didn't want his sister to misunderstand and keep questioning him so he had to explain.“The women I sleep with can't get pregnant because they're always taking medicine. Understand?” Felix continued.Helen laughed dismissively. The mother of one put her arm around her brother.“How can you be so sure? W
“Getting close to him? What for?” Claire replied, still not believing what the younger sister she used to care so much about was saying.Jasmine retorted, “Don't play dumb! As soon as you found out that we chose this resort, you must have immediately planned to get Ludwig back with you, right?”Claire shook her head. Her eyes widened slightly in surprise that her sister could suspect her like that.“On what basis do you think that? A and I are done in the past and have been for years. Why would you think that?” Claire retorted.Jasmine exhaled harshly, “Because you must want revenge on me, right?”“What kind of revenge?” Claire was shocked.“Well, because after you left home, Ludwig and I went out and got engaged. We're also married.” Jasmine moved her feet irritably but her gaze on her sister did not change.The young woman continued, “You want to ruin my relationship with Ludwig.”Claire was getting more and more clueless, “I don't know what you mean but once again I emphasize to y
The words sounded so painful to Jasmine that she fell back and cried harder.Ludwig, let out a long sigh, “Jasmine, this is a public place, don't let people see it!”After saying that he left her alone. Jasmine's heart broke even more.“This must be because you met Claire again, right, Ludwig?”“Yes, it's all her fault. She ... I got rid of her but she still interferes,” the young woman murmured with tears in her eyes.In the waiting area, Charles, Lindsay and Christine were silent. However, Charles suddenly broke the silence. “Claire, it's been a long time since we've seen her.”“She can live independently after all these years. Can't we take her back, Mom?” Lindsay tried to ask.Christine gave her daughter-in-law a stern look, “What do you mean by that? Accepting Claire back? Have you lost your mind?”Lindsay sighed, “It's been over six years, Mom. Perhaps people have forgotten about the incident. Claire has had enough of living on her own outside all these years.”Christine shook
Ludwig could not move. It was clear that Christine Michel deliberately wanted to make the resort where Claire worked lose money. “Let's get out of here!” Christine said.The old woman even ordered one of her guards, “Tell them we're not staying at this resort. They've kept us waiting too long.”After mentioning the order, Christine and her entourage left The Himalaya Resort without waiting for Claire's arrival. In the car, Ludwig said, “Have you had enough of getting your siblings into trouble, Jasmine?”Jasmine replied casually. “My sister, do you mean? I don't have a sister.” Ludwig gasped. “You ... are you a demon? You don't recognize Claire as your sister anymore?” Ludwig retorted.Jasmine smiled wryly, “My family no longer recognizes her as a member of our family, so why would I?”Ludwig immediately turned his head towards the street because he couldn't talk to his wife anymore. Either way, he might lose control and do something bad to Jasmine due to his unstoppable irritatio
Claire smiled faintly in response to Felix's remark.However, the beautiful and extraordinarily graceful woman still replied very firmly, “Thank you for your generous offer, sir.”Felix was almost overjoyed to think that Claire had accepted his offer.Unfortunately, Caire then added, “But I really don't need it, Sir. I can take care of my own business.”Felix was taken aback.“Please excuse me,” Claire excused herself.She walked away, leaving Felix stunned. The man was so amazed by Claire's answer that he was stunned for a few moments until he was finally awakened by his own confidant, Andrew Finn.“Sir, is there something going on?” Andrew asked curiously.Felix suddenly smiled strangely, “Interesting. Very interesting.”Andrew looked even more curious but didn't dare ask any more questions.Felix then walked while being followed by Andrew. Suddenly Felix stopped walking and turned to Andrew, “Andrew, find out about this resort. If there's a possibility to buy it, buy it.”Hearing
Claire was silent for a few moments but then she replied to Felix who was waiting for her answer, “Sir, I am not a single woman so I am free to do whatever I want. I can't possibly go to places like that.”Hearing Claire's statement, the handsome man was shocked. It was as if he had just received news that had shaken him.Felix looked so unable to accept that fact.“What does Miss ... you have a family?” Felix asked.Claire only replied with a smile which Felix believed that she had indeed stated that she was married.Felix really never thought that the woman he thought was still very young was married. This was one of the things that made it so difficult for Felix to believe in her. However, Felix could not deny the fact and was finally forced to believe what he had heard.Because, even though Felix was a player and had slept with so many women that he couldn't count how many women had climbed into his bed, Felix still maintained one principle.That principle was that he would never
“Good morning, sir,” the two staff stammered.Felix replied with a nod and soon he was walking faster towards his office.There he already saw Claire setting up his desk.“Good morning, Sir!” Claire greeted as usual but the man strangely did not reply.Claire frowned and started to get a little flustered but he tried to act casual as if Felix was ignoring her.“Would you like some coffee now, sir?” Claire asked.Felix replied, “No.”He walked over to his desk and then sat down for a few minutes but eventually stood back up.Claire watched in surprise.“Andrew, get the car ready!” Felix ordered.Claire was of course surprised by the order but she saw that Andrew said nothing and just did as he was told.What was going on?However, as soon as Andrew walked out of the room, Claire quickly asked, “Sir, are you leaving?”&ldquo
Andrew realized that his employer's calmness was now unmanageable. So, he did not want to remain silent.“What would you like to order me to do, sir?” Andrew asked cautiously.Felix Homann shook his head quickly, “Nothing. I want to try to tease her first without any information about her.”Andrew looked somewhat surprised by Felix's statement which he found quite convincing even though he had only heard the statement that day.“Are you sure, sir? Wouldn't it be better for us to know her family background? That would be of great benefit to you, sir,” Andrew explained.Felix shook his head, “That would complicate things. I told you, I just want to sleep with her.”Andrew couldn't believe it. If it was just about bed needs, he was pretty sure that there were more women who could satisfy Felix in bed.Of course, there was little else to it so Felix put himself aside and focused
Felix waited expectantly. He thought that maybe Andrew's suggestion would hit the mark so that he wouldn't have to struggle to think of a strategy to get Claire into his bed.“Sir, you could ask Ms. Claire to go to the nightclub again,” Andrew said.Felix had never thought of that method after hearing Claire say that she was not a single woman. Felix thought his loyal friend had a brilliant idea but it turned out to be an empty idea that was unlikely to work.“Did you forget that she already rejected me?” Felix asked at last. The man made an annoyed face, as if he had just been reminded of Claire's rejection before he became CEO of the Himalaya Resort.“That was just the first try, sir,” Andrew replied, still trying to encourage his master even though he wasn't too sure himself.“Who knows, the next try might even work. What's more, Ms. Claire already knows who you are and you're the CEO of her place of work. How could she refuse a superior's order?” Andrew said.No, she can't. She'
Sean looked at Felix with his innocent face.Suddenly Felix sensed something strange in the boy's expression.“Tell me, why do you intend to hide from me?” Felix asked.Sean was silent. “Why? Don't you want to tell me? You don't consider me your friend anymore, do you?” Felix really felt so very disappointed and this was again the first time he felt that way.Sean immediately shook his head, “No, Uncle. I consider you as my best friend. It's just that ....”“What's wrong? You can tell me anything,” Felix said, deliberately wanting to make the little boy more open.He didn't want to be seen as a pushover but he really wanted to know what was on Sean's mind.Sean seemed to be hesitating but when he observed the face of an uncle who had often accompanied him to play when he was waiting for his mother to work, he felt safe to tell him.“Won't you tell anyone if I tell you everything?” Sean asked.Without hesitation the man replied, “Of course, sweet boy. I always keep my word. You don't
"What do you have to fear? Even if someone recognizes you, they won't be able to do anything," Felix said.The man was now truly a CEO and not a man pursuing a woman he wanted.Felix Homann was known to be able to separate the world of work and his personal affairs.If he was in a situation where he had to bring out his ability to deal with various problems in his company then it was certain that the man would put his own personal problems aside."Yes, sir." After all, Claire had no choice but to obey the CEO's orders."Let's go in!" Felix called and she quickly followed behind him along with Andrew.Once the stranger had arrived at the lobby, he was immediately greeted by several staff members.This was of course because Felix's appearance was so convincing that he was treated much better than the usual guests."Sir, then please come with us!" a very pretty female staff member said.Claire suspected that the woman was in the same position as she had been because obviously one of the
When Andrew was about to open his mouth to answer Claire's question, Felix suddenly raised his hand and asked his trusted man to be quiet.Claire immediately turned to Felix who then said, "You will be my personal secretary."For a moment Claire looked speechless but after he understood what Felix had just said, Claire widened his eyes, "What do you mean? I am to be your personal secretary?""Yes."Claire couldn't believe it but the man who had become the CEO of the Himalaya resort changed again, "You're not cut out to be an assistant manager and that's evident from the fact that you've failed to overcome previous problems."Indeed when Felix understood the nature of Claire's problem, he felt he had found a solution that would enable him to bring Claire to her knees.He did not know the background that made Claire look unprofessional when serving the Michel family. But he did not care about that reason because all he could think about at the moment was how he could get close to Clair
Oh, no. Claire forced herself to smile and then pinched her own cheeks to wake up.She really thought she might be dreaming or perhaps daydreaming.There was no way that Felix Homann was the CEO of the resort where he earned money for his son.It was simply impossible and there was only a fraction of a percent chance that it could happen.However, Claire felt a twinge of pain as she tugged at her right cheek and had to gasp in shock when she discovered that it was indeed a reality that she had to accept.The sound of applause and noise soon filled the building. Claire also joined in the applause even though in her heart she was extremely agitated.“Wow! That's amazing!” “We are so lucky to have a CEO like him!”Others also responded, “Under his leadership, our resort will definitely progress further.”“Yeah, he's known for his cold hands in the business world so there's no doubt about that,” added another.Jason, the staff standing right beside Claire also chimed in, “But, don't yo
Ludwig just realized that he had really made a big mistake when he decided to marry Jasmine.The woman who had been his wife for several years was a very stubborn woman and had a very different nature than her brother.However, he no longer wanted to feel pressured by his wife so he calmly retorted, “If you dare to divulge all the secrets of our marriage then I won't keep our marriage either.”Jasmine widened her eyes, staring in disbelief at her husband. “What do you mean?”“Divorce,” Ludwig replied.Jasmine's lips instantly trembled when she heard it, “You're joking right? There's no way you're going to do that. You can't divorce me.”“Why not, Jasmine?” Ludwig replied still with a very calm expression.Jasmine said back with her chin up, “Because your family depends on my family. My family saved your family's honor from destruction. Your mother's father would never allow you to divorce me.”Ludwig was silent for a few moments and that gave Jasmine the upper hand.She believed that
As a good boy, Sean also kept his promise and never said the things that had been whispered to him by Felix to anyone.The little boy didn't even tell his mother and just smiled happily when his mother asked him to go to bed at night.On the other side of the world, Michel and Bayer's family were holding a celebration of Ludwig Beyer's success in managing his own business.The celebration was held in a very luxurious hotel and was attended by many business people in Indonesia.All members of the two families were present and were seen wearing big smiles as they greeted the guests.It was also seen on the lips of Jasmine Michel who was seen accompanying her husband wherever Ludwig went.Jasmine was currently standing next to Ludwig to welcome some of the city's top CEOs.“Besides your business running so smoothly, you are also so smart to have chosen one of the daughters of a famous businessman as your spouse,” one of the guests said, which instantly made Jasmine smile widely.Ludwig r
