When he saw that they only covered part of his car, he sprang into action:

He grabbed some grease using his handkerchief and smeared it on his license plate, then he headed back inside. 'It's payback time, but I'll take it out on your daughter.' As soon as he started the engine, he immediately stepped on the accelerator pedal and drove straight towards the woman, who was now standing with a guy.

Good morning, Mr. Andeza, Mr. Joselito."When Nico caught sight of Nigel, his eyes landed on the bandage on his forehead. He felt an inexplicable feeling, he looked down and seemed lost in thought."Good morning, Nigel. Come in." Armando instructed his assistant to get a chair. "Uncle, is it true that the person who rammed into us last night got away?" Armando let out a disappointed sigh. "Yes.

    "Hi Mr. Sarmiento~" Franchesca chimed in. She inserted herself between Nigel and Nathalie, deliberately blocking the latter from Nigel's view.

She was partially hidden because the foreign woman was taller than her and had a more huge frame. "Let's go, Nat. Let's talk somewhere else," Nigel suggested."You're leaving with her? No!" Franchesca exclaimed. Nigel furrowed his brow while Nathalie went speechless because of the woman sudden appearance and attitude. "Excuse me, miss?" "Let's just ignore her, let's go."

    Nico stared at Nigel straight in the eye, but the latter didn't even flinch. He instead staring right back at him. Nico's head was slightly tilted upwards since his former brother-in-law was taller than him, he could only reach up to his eye level. "You really got some nerve saying that, huh? Have you forgotten how you've hurt my sister? How you cheated on her for some itchy woman out there? And how she almost died because of you?"Nigel's defenses seemed to weaken a bit after hearing that."I haven't forgotten, and believe it or not, I still regret it to this day even though she said she's already forgiven me.""Heh, forgiven? And you think we'll forgive you just like that? Listen, just because you're helping our company out now doesn't mean you can just walk back into my sister's life.

    "What's wrong, Dad?" Asked the blonde girl, who looked like in her 20's as she noticed her father's bad mood when he arrived home. The man had come with his daughter to the country, and since they were foreigners and had just arrived, they were renting a place. He waved his hand dismissively, indicating that he didn't want her to bother him.The girl just shrugged off her father's temper and continued with what she was doing. She headed to the living room and resumed watching a yoga instructor on TV, following along with the moves. The old man sat down on the sofa, feeling a bit worn out. "This country's hot climate is crazy, I feel like being roasted!" He turned to his daughter, intending to ask her to get him a cold drink, but his gaze landed on her fit physique instead. His eyes narrowed as a sudden thought struck him, he quickly concocted a plan.Just a while ago in the meeting room at Andeza Enterprises, he was seething with anger as Armando humiliated him in front of everyone

    Nathalie immediately snapped back to normal, ignoring Andy's question. "Why did you ask about that?" Andy carefully looked at Nathalie, worried that he might offend her by his question. "Nothing ma'am, I'm just curious... But if you don't want to tell me, that's okay." "Have you asked your boss about it? What did he say?" "Uh, I haven't asked him yet. You know my boss, he's kinda scary. I don't want to get in trouble and have my salary deducted again.""I'm not gonna deny that our breakup wasn't good. I just won't say who was at fault between us, but I can say that I don't regret marrying him, even though..." Nathalie gave a faint, bitter smile. "Even though I knew we were impossible from the start."Nathalie walked ahead, while Andy slowed down his pace. As he thought about Nathalie's last statement, he finally realized who was to blame for their breakup.When they return to the meeting room, Andy's perception of his boss suddenly changed.

    Andy was standing off to the side, casually glancing at his boss who'd been in front of the mirror for a while now. His gaze drifted to the bed, which was covered in high-end suits. He'd picked out some of them, while Nigel had chosen the others. Nigel had asked for his help, but always ended up rejecting his suggestions.Andy couldn't take it anymore, so he cleared his throat. "Uh, sir... You've been trying on suits for ages, and you still can't decide?" Nigel didn't respond, too busy with what he was doing."Sir, isn't it just a meeting with Andeza's enterprises? Do you really need to dress up that formally? It's not like you're going to attend some grand gala or anything." This time, Nigel looked at him, but Andy felt a surge of fear. "Uh, don't get me wrong, sir. I'm just worried that you might intimidate the people you're meeting with later because of how you're dressed.""What do I care?" Nigel replied nonchalantly without even turning to face his assistant. He was now
