Jack stared at Eland with a bemused frown. "You're completely insane, Eland."
Eland, on the other hand, seemed relaxed as he leaned back in the comfortable chair. Occasionally, he whistled happily, his spirits soaring high. He had already finished his tequila glass. But Eland always excelled when it came to handling alcoholic drinks. He didn't get drunk easily and remained focused no matter how much he drank, as long as it was tequila.
"I'm heading back to headquarters," Eland said as he grabbed his phone from the table. "You want to rest too, right?"
"I should have done that two hours ago, Eland," Jack chuckled. He raised his hands in the air. "I'm really exhausted. But everything is settled with Boss Sam's affairs, so I'm relieved. There are no more obstacles, especially regarding the renovations and the parts that shouldn't be exposed to the public."
"You know how our boss is," Eland grinned. "I need some sleep."
"You've already slept, you basta

No matter how much he's had to drink, it doesn't seem to help him momentarily forget what happened. Everything keeps changing, forcing him to think hard when there's no way out anymore. Stuck. He can't even retreat from this situation. Maybe it would be better if he were just killed.Unfortunately... the executor refuses to swing the sword. Instead, he chooses to let his victim suffer. Just like himself."Have you finished your madness, Jimmy?" Gerald asked as he entered the workspace of Jimmy Lee. Usually, there were scattered papers and project discussions that the man worked on. Even under Alfred's control, Jimmy truly explored himself to develop. Gerald could say that Jimmy had some contribution, albeit not much, to the progress of some projects entrusted to him."Can you stop the demonstration at the headquarters?" Jimmy sneered. He had been feeling dizzy for a few days. He ignored it because there was something much more important than the dizziness.

Beatrice slowly opened her eyes. She wriggled slowly, feeling restricted in her movements. Her fingertips touched a surface of skin that she recognized all too well. The man beside her still slept soundly, making her hesitant to move too much around. She was afraid of disturbing his sleep.Instead, she drew closer to him, wanting their bodies to be even closer. Gazing at Sam's face from such a close distance made Beatrice feel fortunate. She couldn't explain why her feelings changed so quickly, nor could she fathom the depth of his emotions. It was too scary for her to ask. The current situation was enough for her."Are you awake?" Sam asked, squinting slightly. "What time is it?""I don't know. I haven't had a chance to look at the time," Beatrice replied.Sam smiled faintly, pulling Beatrice closer into his embrace. "You're never satisfied just watching me sleep, are you? You're like this almost every day."Beatrice laughed softly, gently tracing

Alfred enjoyed his cigar, the smoke dissipating quickly in the afternoon breeze. The sound of waves kissing the shore accompanied their conversation. The old man didn't expect the resort he visited to be so luxurious once he entered its premises. It was vast and well-maintained by the owner. He also noticed many of Sam's subordinates wandering around.Sam, who had been reading Alfred's report intently, now handed the file to Hugo. He wanted to know his trusted assistant's opinion as well. If it confirmed his suspicions, there was no doubt that Alfred's visit was not merely to deliver the file. Beatrice was accompanying him.Hugo quickly read through the pages while Sam took out a cigar from his shirt pocket, mirroring Alfred, who was still enjoying his smoke while leaning back in his chair, never taking his eyes off Sam."Do you already know what happened, don't you?" Alfred asked with a thin smile."What do you want to hear from me?" Sam laughed. "Shall

The blonde woman grumbled repeatedly, occasionally glancing back reflexively. Who knows if someone was following their speeding motorcycles. Several times, she heard blaring horns and curses from drivers ahead of them.Gerald."We're heading out of town," he shouted."Whatever," Bella muttered, closing her helmet and following the rider's lead. Half an hour ago, when she felt hopeless and resigned to her fate, she heard a disturbing commotion.Not wanting to be disturbed, she chose to retreat under her blanket. She could spend the whole day sleeping in this room undisturbed, except for the occasional unexpected visit from Eland. That man was so damn annoying! Why did she have to encounter someone like Eland?How could she enjoy every touch from Eland, which was far from gentle and careful? Throughout her time as Sam's woman, visited by him whenever he needed comfort, Sam treated her with respect.Eland?She squeezed her eyes shut, try

Sam leaned back while massaging his temples. He couldn't count how many cigarettes he had smoked just to dissipate some of the anger towards someone who used to be close to him. Fortunately, their closeness was limited to physical encounters and pleasure. They rarely shared stories or engaged in lighthearted conversations like AnaBella did.The ruler hadn't forgotten their meeting with Bella back then. She was a beautiful woman, akin to a queen bee, drawing the attention of the opposite sex. They would gaze at her, seek her attention, and desire to possess her. Sam knew that. But he wasn't interested in making Bella the queen in his life. He merely placed her, a girl desired by many men out there, by his side. Perhaps it was because of Sam's treatment that Bella became arrogant. However, since Bella came into his life, Sam rarely had the desire to touch other women. It was just fleeting moments to fulfill his needs. Most of what Sam desired could be matched by Bella.A

"Are you sure I can stay here, Jack?" Eland asked to confirm. The doctor said there was nothing to worry about from the recent gunshot wound Jack had suffered. It didn't hit any vital organs, although there was significant bleeding that made Eland anxious.If it weren't for Bella being in Flown, there wouldn't have been that shootout. But if Bella hadn't infiltrated Flown, they wouldn't have known about Bella's wicked plan along with those two cowards, Gerald and Jimmy. The attack on Jimmy's mansion should have been carried out with one hundred percent intent. Not leaving a single one of them alive.Goodness."I can. I can sleep soundly here," Jack joked casually. Then he waved his slightly chubby hand. "Go, Eland. I can handle it myself."Eland sighed. "I won't bring wine to your room tonight. Don't complain."Jack laughed triumphantly. "I'm not the one addicted to tequila."The man in the casual white shirt just grinned. He walked away fro

Two hours before Sam prepared to leave.On the way back from the hospital this time, Sam remained silent. Completely. Beatrice felt the urge to ask what Sam and his two subordinates were discussing. Why did his face become more fierce and gloomy? The aura of not wanting to be disturbed by anything, including Beatrice's voice, was palpable."Sam," Beatrice called softly. Her hand was itching to touch Sam's muscular arm as he sat comfortably beside her. Beatrice knew that Rulli occasionally glanced at Sam with curiosity and fear combined. His order was clear, directing their car to headquarters."Don't talk, Beatrice," he said.His voice was filled with a dark aura. Sam's gestures indicated that he did not want to be disturbed. Even with his eyes closed, Beatrice was convinced that there were many thoughts running through his mind. This made Beatrice sigh softly. Until the car entered the headquarters' area, which she hadn't visited in a long time, Sam rema

"Alfred, confirm," said Hugo as he picked up his other phone. The one he had thrown carelessly onto the side of the seat. Leaning back comfortably afterward, he spoke to Alfred, who always wanted and provided detailed information about various things, making his head spin."You're really worried, Boss?" Hugo glanced briefly at his boss next to him. That face was completely unaffected by their surroundings. Cold and impassive. Staring straight ahead at the road they were currently passing. From the rearview mirror, Hugo could also see several cars he recognized following them."Shut up," Sam grumbled irritably. "Where's my drink?""Oh, for God's sake!" Hugo became annoyed. Sam and alcohol couldn't be separated that easily. "Can't you ask Eland?"Sam immediately hit Hugo quite hard. "Where?""Why do you get so sentimental when you're on your period, Boss?" His hand quickly opened the storage box in front of him. Never missing a bottle of alcohol that
