"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm the general manager of this restaurant, Martel." He said, offering Yuffie a business card, "May I have the pleasure of inviting you to the private room for a drink?"He completely ignored Howard and Mystical Chubby during the exchange."Sorry, I don't know you, and I don't drink. Please don't interrupt our dinner," Yuffie declined without taking the card."A first encounter is chance; a second is familiarity. Not knowing each other is no issue. A shared meal will fix that," Martel said with a sly grin.He then signaled a waiter with a snap of his fingers. "Tell the kitchen to whip up a presidential feast. I plan to dine with this young lady tonight.""I'll say it once more: I don't know you. Kindly leave us be. We're about to eat!" Yuffie insisted."With all due respect, they won't serve you a bite without my say-so." Martel smirked."Here's a free tip: walk away now, or you're going to regret it," Yuffie warned with an icy stare."Oh? I seldo

Sophronia burst into the room frantically, with Adrian and several others trailing behind, looking concerned."Sophronia?" Martel's voice shook as he stood up to greet her. A sense of dread washed over him. Had they really managed to bring her there?However, before he could say another word, Sophronia kicked his chest, sending him flying back into a dining table. The impact was so severe that he could feel ribs cracking and blood spilled from his lips."Sophronia..." Martel's anxiety spiked as he struggled to comprehend what had just happened.Without a word to Martel, Sophronia marched straight to Howard, bending over with a look of sheer alarm on her face."Forgive me, Master Howard, I've failed in my duties. Please, I accept any punishment you deem fit," Sophronia said, her voice strained.There was a collective gasp, and the room went still as stone.Yuffie's eyes were wide with shock. She knew her brother-in-law was no pushover regarding Sophronia, but that? That was beyon

"Master Howard, would you care to join me in the private room?" Yaretzi asked once they were alone, taking a moment to steady her breath. She always felt a weight of unspoken expectations in his presence.Howard nodded with a steady gaze before rising and heading upstairs.The main hall, bustling and chaotic, was no place for a serious conversation.Soon, they settled into a quieter space upstairs."Thank you for joining me, Master Howard," Yaretzi said, pouring him a cup of coffee."Try not to outsmart yourself. It tends to lead to trouble," Howard said calmly."Forgive me, but I'm not sure what you're implying," Yaretzi replied, her hand pausing mid-pour."Are we still playing games?" Howard's voice took on an edge. "Yuffie's internship at your family's company isn't just a coincidence."He had connected the dots the moment he heard Yuffie call her Ms. Cole back in the hall.Clearly, Yaretzi had orchestrated that move to get closer to him after their last encounter in Mendor

"Hey, can you not jump to wild conclusions?" Mystical Chubby was exasperated."Don't you know the kind of man he is? He's not the cheater you're making him out to be!""He sent you away to spare you the heartache!""Why?" Yuffie paused, her fingers hovering over her phone, genuinely confused."If I'm not wrong, landing this internship wasn't just a stroke of luck," Mystical Chubby hinted.As the star of the Rectenwald clan, his smarts were off the charts.He was in the dark about whatever drama had gone down between Howard and Yaretzi before, but he was sure Yaretzi showing up at the diner today was no fluke."What's that supposed to mean?" Yuffie blinked in surprise.However, after a quick thought, it clicked. "Are you saying Ms. Cole is trying to get to my brother-in-law by cozying up to me? She needs a favor from him?""Ding, ding, ding! You nailed it!" Mystical Chubby gave a nonchalant shrug."That explains it!" Yuffie let out a sigh of frustration."That explains why th

In Derrick Cole's villa grand hall, nestled in the heart of the Cole family estate, three generations were gathered."This is one heck of a storm we've weathered!" Derrick remarked, lifting his coffee cup for a sip, his face etched with the shadows of a close call.If Yaretzi had not stood her ground, pushing for the Cole family to bail out of the Mareno City Chamber of Commerce, they might have been in the same boat as the other families.The Cole family might not have had skeletons like the others, but in the world of high finance, rumors do not need proof to spread like wildfire."I never saw it coming. Master Howard's move was like a bolt out of the blue," Wagner chimed in, his face a mix of relief and awe."Yaretzi, you're our family's guardian angel!" Derrick said, looking at Yaretzi with a glint of pride in his eyes."It's all thanks to Grandpa and Dad's help," Yaretzi replied, his smile as composed as a cucumber.She could not help but feel a wave of relief wash over her
