Julie met her brother’s piercing gaze with a calm, emotionless expression. Despite his irritated tone and confrontational attitude, she remained still and silent, showing no signs of surprise or remorse.“And you—” Mr. Paul paused as if recognizing the face of Joshua. “You're that man from the lobby. I thought I told you to place a ban on him?!”Mrs. Felicia glanced at Joshua, whose eyes panned outside the transparent wall of the room. He was calm, too calm, so that when he finally glanced at the board members' direction, uncertainty instantly crept into their faces. “Call security—”“That's enough,” Joshua's authoritative voice growls. Everyone in the room snapped their heads in his direction. Mr. Cedric instantly dropped to his chair with wide eyes.Paul, who hadn't come across Don Cara except in the lobby, scoffed.“Do you know who you're talking to?!” he yelled, clenching his fist. “Get me security now!” He snapped at Mrs. F

Meanwhile, inside the SC conference room, a group of fourteen board members gathered, seated in hierarchical order with individual tags displaying their names and official titles. Unlike the seven continental staff meetings, which included a wider array of participants, this annual gathering was limited to the board of directors.A normal meeting would be characterized by subtle whispers and opinions, but this was notably silent, so silent that the only movement was from a man seated at the far end of the room. He nodded his head slowly with a smile spreading across his lips.“It seems like neither one of you is willing to make the hard decision,” the voice of Mr. Paul lingered through the silence. Each member, hearing his words, remained quiet with their collar high. The look on their faces made Paul's lips stretch into a grin.It was the first time he had seen the board stunned into silence at the mention of a replacement, which gave a hint that there had never been one. The name he

“B… But Ms. Felicia, you have to understand, though you are my superior,” the lady paused, narrowing a forced smile towards Joshua. “I have experience in these kinds of matters, so trust me when I say this man shouldn't be your priority," she added, hoping to convey her point.Felicia's expression hardened as she tilted her head to meet the woman’s eyes. “Like you said, I am your superior, and I will not tolerate insubordination. If you ever undermine my authority again, there will be consequences!” The gravity of her words hung in the air, sending chills down the spines of the other staff.The lady with a stunned expression nodded and then shrank back. The young receptionist, seeing her boss's expression, forced down a lump. “L…let me take down your details,” she said.“That won't be necessary,” Felicia quickly added, then turned to Joshua. “This way, sir,” she added, directing him towards the elevator.The other staff, seeing the scene, whispered in silence, with the horror of the

The elevator doors slid shut, leaving a few lingering gazes on Joshua. Ignoring their curious stares, he strode toward the receptionist's desk. Although Joshua had a secret access card tucked away in the right pocket, which would grant him entry to any floor, he decided not to use it. Instead, he slid into the crowd, weaving through the line until he reached the front. The young woman with dark hair styled back into a bun barely looked up from her computer screen. “Hello, how can I help you?” “I would like to speak with whoever is in charge,” he replied, a hint of urgency lacing his words. The thought of using his card crossed his mind again, but he brushed it off. With his earlier encounter with Paul, he believes there is already a face ban on him and that he would trigger security if he were spotted. The lady, struggling to comprehend what he was saying, finally looked away from her screen to focus on him. “I’m sorry, sir, but could you please repeat that?” she said, adjusting

The following day, news of a police raid on multiple downtown clubs spread through the media like wildfire.“Yesterday's raid marks a victory in the ongoing battle against organized crime and corruption,” the voice of a reporter announced.Meanwhile, Joshua, who had his eyes fixed on the road and his hand against the wheel, increased the volume of the mini TV embedded in the luxury of his car."The actions from the police department follow a recent incident in which an officer was brutally killed by a cartel member, sparking outrage from law enforcement. According to official sources, authorities seized a significant amount of illegal drugs and apprehended several gang members during this operation.”Joshua, seeing the red traffic light, slowed down and dropped his gaze at the screen, showing a familiar female figure, one whom he had encountered recently."The joint task force, formed to tackle gang-related violence and drug trafficking, has demonstrated commitment to its mission. The

The sound of broken furniture echoed through the room, followed by a heavy silence that lingered among the men watching their colleague, who whimpered in pain."I think he broke my bone!" The man whimpered in pain.Joshua, towering above the crumpled figure, pulled his cold gaze from the man to the other men, who remained shocked at the scene. Their smirk, that has once adorned their faces, was nowhere to be found. Joshua adjusted his clothes before stepping forward. “Which other one of you laid a finger on him?” his voice echoed through the silence. The man sitting with pliers in his hands finally stood up. He shifted his gaze from his injured colleague to the strange man standing with a question.“Who are you?” The word broke out, rolling off his lips. Joshua raised his gaze to meet the man's eyes, and with his expressionless face, he remained quiet. The silence felt heavy, almost suffocating, as if the men held their breath, waiting. Even the man crumpled on the floor held his w

The airplane commenced its gradual descent, gliding smoothly through a dense curtain of clouds as Song Island gradually emerged beneath them. Its breathtaking terrain was laced with pure nature, prompting a wave of gasps spread through the cabin. Everyone quickly pressed their faces to the windows, their eyes wide with awe. Their gazes drifted across the waters, sparkling under the afternoon sun to the coastline, holding several tall palm trees. They all stood in a line like vigilant sentinels with its fronds swaying gently in the breeze as if welcoming the aircraft’s arrival. A few distance from the resort at the shore, modern buildings with minimalist designs rose faintly above the greenery, hinting at the island’s developed areas.For a moment, it felt almost surreal; such an unspoiled, stunning paradise seemed too perfect to be real. One student nearly lifted out of their seat, with his eyes glued to the window with an expression of wonder, as if the island might vanish if they b

Mason studied her for a moment, her calm face laced with hidden tension. Even when she tried to hide, he could clearly see through her. Without a word Mason leaned back in his own seat, allowing the silence to settle between them.A few minutes later, the flight attendant returned with his order.“Sir—” she paused, her eyes briefly flicking to Cleopatra, whose eyes now fluttered open. “Here is your request.”Cleopatra turned slowly toward Mason, and their eyes met.‘Is she jealous?’ Mason thought.Ignoring the momentary awkwardness, he asked softly, “Are you hungry?”Cleopatra nodded.Mason turned to the attendant. “Could I get another? My girlfriend will be having this.”He took the tray from the attendant and placed it gently in front of Cleopatra.“Oh,” the attendant said, her gaze lingering on Cleopatra for a second before returning to Mason. “Right away, sir.”Cleopatra lifted the wine glass, took a sip, and frowned; then her eyes lit up, but she quickly replaced her expression,

The first-class cabin flourished with luxury, its amber lights glowing along the ceiling, reflecting off the wood panels and cream colored leather seats, which were wide enough to feel like small thrones. The air lingered faintly of lavender and something expensive he couldn’t name. As Mason stepped into the section, his pace slowed, not out of hesitation. Despite being the youngest richest man in Aleric City, this was his first time flying not only first class but also on a plane. In the past, he was always too busy with work and school activities, but now it is different.He adjusted the cuff of his jacket, suddenly aware of how quiet everything was compared to the economy section behind him. No crowding or raised voices, just murmured conversations and the subtle hum of luxury. He found his seat by the window, and a smile appeared on his face. Mason placed his stuff beside him, then slid into the plush leather chair.The seat seemed to mold around him, probably among the many reas

“Natalia, move,” Jacob muttered, nudging at her as the line surged forward. “You’re holding people up,” he added, pulling his gaze from the direction she was staring. Even when Mason Williams had disappeared, the frown on his face didn't soften.“Sorry,” she murmured, forcing her feet to move. Around them, students buzzed with different gossip, as most of them didn't care if Jacob overheard them. “Did you see that watch earlier?” a group of students who were still invested in Mason watched muttering through the slow line.“Who would have thought the Mason we used to know would be lucky to be gifted a watch like that?”“If anyone gives me such a present, I will definitely marry him,” a girl beside them chuckled, making Jacob’s frown deepen.“Why don't you befriend him? Maybe you will get lucky,” another girl teased.The girl heaved a sigh. “I think it's too late; befriending him now would look suspicious, and with a competition like this, I can't compete for his attention.”More whis

Beyond the glass walls, the aircraft gleamed beneath the runway lights, its massive body humming softly, patient and imposing.From the direction of the plane, a lanky, tall man descended the mobile stairs with unhurried confidence. His uniform was immaculate, and the badge of Williams Airline was clipped neatly to his chest. In his left hand, he held an iPad, the glowing Williams logo unmistakable against the dark screen.He stopped just before the gate, lifting the iPad slightly as his calm voice carried over the students.“If you check your flight ticket, you’ll find your seating arrangement, and within a few minutes you will be assisted into the plane,” he said, wearing a professional smug. “If you believe there’s an issue with your seat, please notify airport staff before boarding. Thank you.”Several students nodded, quickly unfolding tickets again. Others leaned toward their friends, whispering seat numbers and giggling as they scanned the crowd for potential seatmates. For man

The boy looked up, pointing at Mason’s watch as if it might burn him. “It’s registered! A limited edition of the Paul Newman Daytona registry.” The words landed like a verdict, and Jacob froze. “No,” he said flatly. “That’s impossible.”The seller let out a low, humorless chuckle. He folded his arms, while his eyes fixed on Mason with a knowing look. He had been in Aleric City far too long and had watched too many men hide fortunes behind plain shirts and quiet manners to be fooled by appearances. The students might see a poor boy in borrowed clothes, but he saw a concealed empire.“What is it Jacob?” Mason muttered almost calmly that Jacob’s leg shivered not from cold but from the sudden realization creeping in. His face drained of color as the truth settled in. The humiliation he had planned so carefully, with every insult rehearsed, has failed.Around them, the students buzzed with whispers and murmurs and one thing was sure; their tone had changed from that of suspicion to admir

A moment after the incident, Lucian, not ready to go home, sat at the waiting ward, hoping to speak to the doctor who had attended to the girl. Though Lucian wasn't her family but filled in a few details, I'm trying the hospital chat except the part regarding her name and medication or allergies.After what felt like an eternity, the doctor emerged from the surgical ward, his face a mask of fatigue and concern. Lucian, seeing his expression, felt his stomach twitch and instinctively clenched his stomach, bracing himself for the news that was about to shatter his world.“Doctor, what is going on? Is she okay?” Lucian asked, pulling his eyes from the hospital board, which showed the surgery was over.The doctor, seeing his expression, heaved a sigh, prompting him to force down a lump. “The patient lost a lot of blood, which made the surgery difficult considering her blood is difficult, but the surgery was successful, and we need to monitor her vitals closely,” the young doctor added.Ma

The man's voice vibrated through the air, making Lucian adjust his gaze to the girl shuddering under the man's grip. The weather, which wasn't helping the situation, soared with thunder, and even the man quickly glanced at the sky before returning his gaze to Lucian. The man scoffs, tightening his hold on his blade. "If you had just done what I asked for, I would have been on my way, and everyone would have been happy!" He yelled, adjusting his gaze to his unconscious men on the floor. “You have to make things difficult by playing a hero, huh?” The loud voice, yelling angrily at Mason, made the girl shiver once more, and even when she tried to maintain her composure, the cold rain pierced into her skin. “Shake one more time and I will slit your throat!” The man yells, and the girl freezes, holding her breath. Hot tears drop from her cheeks as she holds Lucian's gaze. Her eyes secretly beg him to save her, and Lucian understands her pain signals for her to remain calm. Luci

Lucian raised his gaze to the shattering rain pouring on the city, leaving the predatory eyes of the men staring from him to the girl handing in his shadow. None of the cars driving by dare to stop or interact, including the pedestrian who instantly retreats away from their destination when they come across the scene, as they assume the men with the mask and bat are from a gang, which always results in Violence. The rain became heavy, and none of the thugs seemed affected by the weather, especially the man who was skillfully swinging his bat, ready to attack.A dangerous smile crawled into Lucian's lips at the adrenaline running through his veins. His eyes watched every move made by his opposition. Predicting the thug's next move, Lucian lunges forward before the man can get closer to him. He quickly ducked his head, avoiding the flying bat that swung above him, and with the force of his clenched fist, he sent a heavy blow into the man's gut.With a loud groan, the masked man stagge

Lucian's frowns deepen as he shifts his gaze from the injured men on the floor to the group slamming iron bats on their hands. They all wore black masks except for Henry, who dressed differently from them and wouldn't stop grinning. A satisfied expression spread across his features since his plan to get Lucian off his car in a lone street was successful. Lucian instantly turned to see if the girl he was trying to save was also part of Henry's plan, and when she inched closer to him, she hid her shuddering body away from the prying eyes of Henry's men. Mason shrugged off the thought since she was a victim of Henry's vicious plan. He remembers Henry making threats, but he didn't expect him to pull something like this."I see, you were able to handle these two idiots," Henry said, placing his boot on top of their heads until one of them let out a whisper from the pain. "You must feel like a hero for saving that girl, don't you think?" he grinned, his tone laced with sarcasm, but Lucian

The men watched, as the figure exited the luxury car parked in front of them, and a frown appeared on their faces, as they stared at Lucian, who also reciprocated their action with a sneer. The men tightened their hold on the girl, who whimpered with pain escaping her mouth. The taller man, who had a scar on his top brow, scoffs with irritation. “This is none of your busy boy, get lost!” The man growls, making Lucian clench his fist while his legs are rooted to the ground. The shorter man, seeing Lucian, was adamant about their instructions: glance from him to his colleague before pulling out a knife from his back pocket. “You don't want to mess with us, boy! Leave, if you know what is good for you!” the shorter man spat. Lucian stood his ground, sending a dangerous gaze between the men. The shorter man noticed Lucian wasn't scared, averted the knife to the girl's throat and she shuddered with tears flowing down her cheek. “P…Please don't hurt me.“ the girl stuttered, struggling

Lucian raised his gaze at the person who placed a knock on the front door before entering his office. Anna's figure appears in her new clothes; she wears a red shirt with the restaurant logo printed on it and a matching red shirt that reveals her long legs. After Lucian had resolved the issues with Gladys, he instantly promoted Anna to oversee the staff, working as the frontman of the restaurant, especially the receptionist to avoid the stunt Gladys had pulled. Lucian raised his gaze to meet Anna, who had been on her toes since the few minutes she had been promoted. She cleared her throat and stepped forward. “Sir, your reservation is ready.” She said, with little composure, and even through her professional facade Lucian could see the nervousness lingering in her eyes; she was new to her job and hadn't made any mistake or offended any customer which was the sole reason for her promotion but being in the presence of someone who could make her lose her job with the flick of his fing
