"The company doesn't need a leader like Nelvan Xander; he is not fit to be a leader when he himself struggles to walk. The board must agree to demote Nelvan from his current position," stated Gilbert, one of the company's shareholders."But Mr. Xander owns seventy-five percent of the shares in this company. It's not easy for us to demote him, especially since he is also highly competent in his work. During his leadership, there has been no downturn for the company," replied one of the individuals in the meeting room.Gilbert slammed the table quite hard. "A disabled man like him can't lead a company of this size. If it weren't for him being the majority shareholder, he wouldn't appear to be in power. So, who agrees to have Nelvan step down from his current position?" Gilbert asked for support.Several people fell silent, exchanging glances."Excuse me." Hans looked at Gilbert, causing the individuals who were previously discussing to turn their attention towards Hans. "Just because Mr.
Lynda ran down the hospital corridor until she saw Allexin in front of a hospital room door. She hurried towards him with a worried expression."How is Mia doing?" she asked Allexin."I don't know. The doctor is still examining Mia inside," Allexin replied.Lynda leaned against the wall near the room's door, and Allexin held Lynda's arm to help his sister sit on a nearby metal chair."What happened, and what caused her to have this accident?" Lynda inquired."I don't know, really. Someone called me using Mia's phone because I was the last person Mia contacted. I immediately rushed to the hospital after hearing about Mia's accident. As for the details of the accident, I still don't know for sure," Allexin explained.Lynda sighed deeply, hoping that her friend was not in critical condition. Mia had no one because she had been emancipated from the orphanage when she turned eighteen.After about fifteen minutes, the doctor came out, and Lynda stood up alongside Allexin."How is she?" Lynda
It had been three days, and Mia still hadn't regained consciousness. Lynda, being a good friend, always stayed by Mia's side until she woke up. Lynda was also puzzled by the man named Zeveran. Although the man often came to see Mia, deep down, Lynda still had doubts."No, let me do it." Lynda took the cloth held by Zev to clean Mia. The soft cloth dampened with water now changed hands.Lynda looked at Zev. "I still can't trust a stranger in Mia's life. I'll wait for my friend to wake up to explain whether you truly are her husband or not." Lynda squinted her eyes.Zev sighed softly, his gaze still very flat, neither looking like a bad person nor a good one. Lynda worried that quietly out there, Mia might have met a psychopath."Since when have you known Mia to be so motherly towards her?" Zev asked curiously.Lynda briefly turned after helping to clean Mia's arm with the soft cloth she held. "It's been a very long time, everyone close to Mia, I know them. So when you suddenly come cla
Lynda took turns with Allexin to look after Mia. Lynda felt much more comfortable with Allexin taking care of Mia than the man named Zev who claimed to be Mia's husband.A surprise suddenly approached Lynda; her body was lifted from behind and floated in the air as two strong hands held her tightly."Nelvan! Put me down!" Lynda shouted.Nelvan truly put Lynda down, wrapped his arm around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder."Let go, I want to take a shower. I haven't cleaned up since yesterday because I was looking after Mia," Lynda pushed Nelvan, but he lifted her again, this time in a bridal style that made Lynda's hands reflexively wrap around Nelvan's neck."I asked you to let me go, not carry me," she protested.Nelvan just smiled innocently. Why did his smile have to be so handsome? No! Lynda immediately shook her head; she shouldn't be captivated by Nelvan, but wasn't he going to be her husband?Lynda's mind was currently arguing with itself until she realized that N
The next day, precisely at ten in the morning, Lynda returned to the hospital to visit Mia. Allexin went back to school, and it was Lynda's turn to take turns watching over Mia. Lynda fixed her bag before entering Mia's room, but she heard a sound from inside the room, like a scream, and of course, Lynda hurriedly entered where Zev had been thrown by Mia using a pillow. "Go away! I don't know you! Don't come near me or claim to be my husband!" Mia shouted. Lynda pulled Zev out before Mia became more emotional. Outside the room, Lynda looked up at Zev. Slap! Zev was obviously surprised by the slap that Lynda gave so casually. When Zev wanted to protest, Lynda responded first. "You've been pretending to be Mia's husband, and now you want to make my friend even sicker?" Lynda said angrily. Zev furrowed his brow, "I'm not lying, I'm her husband. Do I need to present our official marriage certificate to you?" Zev said, equally emotional. "Then why doesn't Mia remember you if you rea
Zev returned, this time the man came to Lynda's house. It was unclear who informed him that Mia now lived at Lynda's house, but Zev's arrival was not alone; he brought a lawyer with him.Allexin, who opened the door for Zev, furrowed his brow. "My house doesn't welcome liars like you," then Allexin was about to close the door, but Zev held the door to keep it open."Your sister told me I could come if I brought proof that Mia is my wife," Zev said, then he entered Allexin's house without permission.Mia was sitting on the sofa with Lynda. Both women turned to look as Zev entered. Mia had been allowed to go home since yesterday due to the exorbitant hospital bill that she couldn't afford, but unexpectedly, Zev had paid off the hospital bill.This situation only made Mia and Lynda unsure of how to act towards Zev."Why did you come here?" Mia demanded.Zev looked at Lynda. "May I sit down first?" he asked.Lynda nodded. "Please," she replied. Zev and the lawyer he brought then sat down.
Allexin didn't hide her admiration as she first set foot in the vast area of Nelvan's grand house. The house had two floors, white with black accents, large transparent glass windows offering views inside the house."Amazing, so the man who claimed to be your future husband yesterday is the boss and owner of this house?" Allexin asked."And you hit him until he bled," Lynda said.Allexin grimaced, "I didn't know he was your potential husband, nor did I know he was the boss at your workplace. But because he behaved rudely towards you, I wanted to punch him regardless of who he was.""Aren't you afraid of being charged for hitting him?""Well, I'm actually a bit scared. But you know yourself that I won't let anyone behave rudely towards you. Even though I'm a naughty little brother, at least you often say I'm naughty, right?" Allexin chuckled.Her head swiveled, taking in the vast yard of Nelvan's house. Next to the house was an open garage where three of Nelvan's cars were parked. Allex
After a long debate between Allexin and Nelvan, they peacefully finished lunch before Nelvan invited Allexin to his sports facility.Inside, there was a black mat in the middle of a spacious room, maybe about four square meters. Allexin looked amazed by the sports area."Do you spend your time here?""Not all the time, but whenever I have the chance, I will spend time here. Do you want to spar with me? Not a real match, I'm just curious about your strength since Lynda always warns not to make you angry."Allexin furrowed his brow, turning towards the entrance where Lynda didn't follow her into the room. "Did Lynda say that to you?" he asked, and Nelvan nodded.Allexin stepped back as Nelvan wanted to challenge. His hand waved in front of his chest. "We better not need to spar if Lynda has already warned you about that. You'd better listen to her advice rather than challenge me," Allexin declined."Are you afraid of me?" Nelvan asked."Afraid?" Allexin muttered. Rather than being afrai
