Realizing that Albert was on guard against him, Aseva immediately stood up and bowed deeply.“Mr. Yanaga, I would never dare do such a thing. Please don’t misunderstand. I was only guessing, because Miss Astrid didn’t seem very surprised when you took out the Diamond. That’s why I’m sure you had shown it to Miss Astrid before,” Aseva said, his voice trembling slightly.Albert sensed that Aseva was not lying. He nodded faintly and said, “This time, I believe you.”Aseva immediately straightened up again and let out a relieved sigh. “Thank you, Mr. Yanaga.”Albert placed the wine bottle on the table and reached into his suit, taking out three necklaces;A Heritage in Bloom: this necklace uses a 507.55-carat diamond, 600 pink diamonds, jade, and has a modular design that can be worn in 27 different ways.Pearl Necklace (La Peregrina): In addition to diamonds, it features a rare pearl like La Peregrina, once owned by Elizabeth Taylor

Old Mr. Vinaro quickly came to his senses and asked gently. “M-Miss Biani, if I may ask, what is your relationship with this man?”Biani, who was being held by Albert, was confused about what to say, especially since her master’s face was still close to hers—she could even feel his breath.Albert took Biani by the chin so that her face was directly facing his. Seeing her master’s face so very close made Biani’s feelings mix together—happy, embarrassed, and afraid.“I will remember this,” Albert said softly, before letting go of Biani’s chin and stepping to the side of the woman. He wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer, before looking at Old Mr. Vinaro and saying, “Old Sir, can’t you see how close we are?”“Y-You….”“She’s my kept woman, right, sweetheart?” Albert cut off Old Mr. Vinaro’s words, then glanced at Biani with a smile, but his gaze was sharp.Biani swallowed; her body trembled in fear when she saw Albert’s sharp look. Reflexively, she nodded obediently.Again

Rini stopped and glanced back, seeing her employer violently hitting the sofa cushion again, which only made her even more confused.Albert’s relationship with Astrid was only that of boss and subordinate, so why did it seem as though they had another kind of relationship? Just thinking about it made Rini feel conflicted. She had just wanted to get closer to Albert, but who would have thought her employer also had a connection with the man she liked?Rini clenched her fists, let out a soft breath, then murmured quietly. “Rini, you have to prioritize Miss Astrid. Remember your promise back then, when Miss Astrid saved you.”Astrid was her savior. If she had not met her back then, she might have fallen into prostitution. That was why, if Astrid really did have a relationship with Albert, she was willing to step aside.Even though her heart hurt a little, to her, her employer’s happiness was the priority. Because Astrid’s kindness, in her eyes, had b

Biani was truly shocked because Albert came and was already inside her apartment, even though she was the only one who had the key.Seeing Biani’s surprised face made Albert immediately stand up and approach the woman while holding a can of beer in his hand.“Why? Didn’t you want to be my woman?” Albert asked as he moved closer.Biani reflexively stepped back slightly and lowered her head. “S-Sir... I....”Before the woman could finish speaking, Albert had already wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close, leaving Biani only able to swallow hard and look at her boss with mixed feelings—between fear and nervousness.Albert brought his face closer, studying Biani closely. “After I look at you carefully, it turns out you’re quite pretty. Tell me, what do you want? I’ll give it to you.”Biani snapped back to her senses and tried to break free of Albert. When she slipped out of his embrace, she immediately spoke with a trem

The next day, when Biani woke up, Albert was no longer there. The woman felt a little disappointed, but that disappointment instantly vanished when she saw a diamond necklace and a small piece of paper on top of the drawer.Biani then read what was written on the paper;"Sorry, I have to leave without saying goodbye first. Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I couldn’t bear to wake you. I’ve also told Rudi that today you don’t need to work. Get plenty of rest, and this is a small gift from me.Thank you for keeping me company last night."Biani’s expression immediately turned cheerful again. She hugged the paper with a broad smile on her lips."Handsome and rich. Turns out the gentleman is romantic too," Biani said to herself. She quickly picked up the diamond necklace from the drawer and put it on.She looked at herself in the mirror while holding the necklace, the smile never leaving her face.At the same time, Albert had
