Jack was silent. Even though he knew why people were acting this way, he couldn't tell the truth. "Probably because you're so pretty," Jack replied as he showed her his row of white teeth.Emma snorted. " There you go again." She then smiled softly, "But this is good. It means that if I get hired here, I'll be around people who really value and respect others.""That's right. Now, just focus on your interview, and stop thinking about anything else.""You're right. I need to focus so that I don't miss out on this precious opportunity.""Go, I'll wait here." Jack sat on the chair.Emma pressed her lips together. "Are you sure you'll wait for me in the lobby? Um, I don't know how long the interview will take yet. I'm worried about keeping you waiting too long." She sat next to Jack.Jack casually replied, "No problem. I can walk around if I get bored.""But...""Don't worry. I'm an adult. I won't get lost."A long breath escaped Emma's nose. "Alright then. But, if you change your mind a

Upon entering the courtyard of the Redwave Group building, Emma was mesmerized by the grandeur and architecture of the building. She had only seen it from the outside, but from the inside the area looked even better than she had imagined. She got off the scooter still staring in awe, taking in the surroundings. Jack, who had just gotten off, quickly helped remove the helmet from Emma's head after taking off his own helmet."I'm suddenly nervous." Emma held her pounding chest. Her blood seemed to flow faster, spurred on by the accelerating heartbeat."Good!"Emma's eyebrows dropped, turned her head limply and asked, "What's good?""Your look." Jack replied excitedly.Emma folded her lips as she looked the other way, her cheeks tinged red as Jack smiled compliments at her."Don't tease me," she said spoiled, "I'm serious, I'm really nervous."Jack chuckled, looking deeply at Emma. "I'm serious too. You're really..." He stopped his words.Emma waited impatiently. Even though she had gu

“You two are unbelievable,” Emma hissed, unable to comprehend their nerve. Her breathing turned shallow, her chest tight with frustration.Everything that came out of Victor and Elena’s mouths felt like toxic fumes polluting the air around them.“I was just joking. Don’t take it so seriously,” Victor said, placing a hand on Jack’s shoulder.Jack glanced at Victor’s hand; bold and uninvited.Victor left it there for a moment, trying to act unaffected.But under Jack’s sharp, silent, and piercing gaze, his confidence began to falter.Eventually, Victor pulled his hand back. Jack, without a word, immediately brushed off the spot where Victor had touched him.'What the hell? Does he think my hand is filth?' Victor’s temple twitched in annoyance.Though Jack still said nothing, the gesture alone made it clear, Victor’s touch had tainted his shoulder.Victor lifted his chin, trying to recover his pride. With arrogant flair, he adjusted his blazer.“Today is a good day for me. I have a meeti

Jack's answer made Emma laugh happily. People who suddenly appear and act arrogantly do look like people who have lost their minds. Jack's smile became wider at Emma's laughter."Jack, just tell me that you're ashamed of my future husband. We're sitting sweetly in a luxury car, not hot, not smelling of dust and sweat, while you go everywhere still on your rusty scooter. Pathetic!"Emma's eyes opened wide. She couldn't believe it. "She knows your name?""Never mind names, the contents of Jack's old wallet, even how worn out his underwear is, I know. Haha!"Jack threw a glare at the woman beside the arrogant car driver. Meanwhile, Emma covered her mouth with her hand at the woman's inappropriate remarks."Elena, you made your ex-husband angry again. What if he sulks and doesn't want to come to our wedding? Who will help the servants wipe the plates and spoons? And who will pick up the leftovers from the table? Haha!"Emma was stunned. She found out that the insolent woman in the car was

Jack closed his eyes. He prepared himself in case Emma vented her disappointment and frustration at being lied to. At least there was Laura who could bear witness that it all started with a misunderstanding."That's right! Jack is now working as a waiter at The Groove Spot. I mean, before becoming a waiter, did Jack like to share anything with others?"Jack opened and blinked. His face looked shocked, but also relieved to hear Emma's words. He held back his smile.But this was not the case with Laura. Her facial expression became more difficult. The wrinkles on her forehead became more numerous.Laura didn't understand why a conglomerate like Mr. Hall should be a waiter in a karaoke place. In a low and hesitant voice she said, "But..."Not wanting things to get complicated, Jack quickly interjected, "Miss Kills, um, I think we should leave now. This is Emma's first time going to the Redwave Group building. She should get there early so she can get acclimated." Jack closed with a crisp

Jack inserted his fingers between Emma's fingers. The scene was exactly like when they were about to enter The Foot Locker."I told you, I'll pay for it. Don't worry."Emma obeyed, stepping after Jack while occasionally letting out a long breath. She was still confused and worried, but Jack's hand was enough to calm her down.Jack made Emma sit on the waiting chair. "Just a moment, I'll be right back." "Please don't waste your money. It's not too late to leave now. If you explain to them nicely, I think they will understand. It might be a little annoying, but, those shoes are still intact without any damage. They can sell them again to other visitors."Emma's long words were answered by Jack with a short, "I understand."Jack went to the cashier's desk by himself. He didn't want to surprise Emma because he was going to make the payment using a black card. A few weeks ago, his personal assistant had sent him the card to facilitate the transaction.When Jack took out the card, the cash

The moon was perfectly round. From the attic of Greenroad Villa, the wind made the tops of the cypress trees look like they were rubbing against the full moon. There was coffee steaming in two white cups on the wooden table. A burly hand seemed to pick up one of the cups. "It's beautiful," Claire said after her husband took a sip of coffee. She admired the night view of the place. Jack shook his head. "There is something more beautiful than this." Claire said with a beaming face. "Really?" "'Yup." Jack took another sip of his homemade coffee. "Tell me quickly. I want to see it tomorrow." Claire was getting excited. "Why wait until tomorrow?" "So, I can see it now?" "Of course!" Claire clapped her hands happily. "Where can I see it?" She pulled her chair closer to Jack. "Go to the room." Claire who was listening to her husband intently furrowed her brows. However, she still said, "Then?" "When you stand in front of the mirror, look ahead. It really is the most beautiful vie

People were surprised by Jack's reaction to what Claire had done, and Claire herself was no exception. From the time she knew Jack until they decided to get married, Jack had never yelled at her, except when she made a mistake.'Then, what did I do wrong?' Claire thought to herself as she looked at her husband.Some of the ladies in the guest seats also didn't expect the young master to yell at his wife. They held their chests in shock. In their opinion, what Claire did was right.Those impudent people deserved two or three more slaps. Some of the guests even wanted to join in grabbing their hair.If Claire was shocked, Lady was not. Although Claire's slap made her cheek hurt, she was glad to know that the young master was quick to yell at his wife for being rude. That meant, she still had a chance. Who knew what chance Lady was referring to."Young Master," Matthew said feeling the need to defend Claire. He thought, perhaps his employer had misunderstood. However, before he had a cha

Undeniably, the aura emanating from Jack made the four women depressed. They seemed to clutch at their own clothes to hide their trembling hands in fear."Lady," Jack called out as the four women fell wordlessly silent.Lady forced herself to smile. "I am, Young Master."Jack laughed to hear Lady, who had often made fun of him as a loser, now addressing him with such a title, and spoken in a gentle tone."You insist on seeing me. Tell me, after this, what do you want?" Jack stuffed both hands into his pockets.To be honest, Jack's changeable reactions, sometimes looking angry, sometimes so friendly, confused Lady. She was well aware that Jack had every right to be angry. And she would accept whatever Jack would do.Lady briefly turned her head to the right and left to see the expressions on her friends' faces. She was sure that the expression on her face now was not much different from theirs; fear, anxiety, mixed with an expression of regret.Then, she suddenly dropped to her knees i

The guards delayed dragging Sophie and her friends out because they heard authoritative words from a man. It was an utterance they couldn't possibly ignore.That's right, it was Jack himself who had restrained the guards from arresting the female troublemakers. Now, the place seemed to freeze. Everyone watched Jack's calm face as they wondered what would happen next."What's he going to do?" asked Gary as he watched Jack walk to the edge of the stage after asking his wife for a moment. Although Gary was only watching from the television screen, his breath caught in his throat.As someone who had a lot of blame on Jack, Gary was naturally worried about his life. He began to understand the bad things that kept happening to him, although it wasn't as bad as what happened to David, Gary felt frustrated with his life that kept going downhill. Looking at his current situation, it could explain all the bad luck that had befallen him.So, what if his bad luck is still going to continue? What

That one shout managed to provoke the other guests. Now the place was filled with calls for Young Master Roodenburg to kiss his wife.Both of Claire's cheeks flushed at the sound. She even removed her arms from Jack's neck, turning toward the audience with her head slightly bowed.Jack sighed seeing his wife like that. He brought his face closer to Claire's, making the audience stop their exclamations.Everyone was tense waiting for what the Young Master would do."Don't worry. I won't do it in public," Jack whispered so quietly that only Claire could hear him.She turned to her husband with a bright face. Meanwhile, the audience was still waiting for the young master to do what they expected.In that moment of silence, there was suddenly a shout from the back row of seats."YOUNG MASTER!!!"The people were startled. They looked back, to the source of the voice, to see the appearance of the woman who had so boldly called out to Young Master Roodenburg.Now, they were staring at a woma

The wedding procession of Young Master Roodenburg and Miss Claire Boutcher has been completed. Now, their friendship had officially become husband and wife with a sacred bond of love. Happiness was evident on the faces of the bride and groom, their families, and the invited guests, except for the four friends sitting in the back seats.Sophie, who had been shedding tears, now hugged Lady to hide her sobs after seeing Jack kiss Claire on the forehead. Sophie still remembered clearly that during the time she and Jack were dating, Jack had never asked for a kiss from her. Whereas when she was David's girlfriend, he asked her for everything, even on their first day of dating.Indeed, Sophie often sees Jack as a loser even when it comes to romance. While she gives David very high marks, and considers him to be a real passionate man.'But look at it now. Jack married Claire in front of the entire Rhineland town with great dignity and charisma, with no drama, no fuss, no promises of this or
