Reflecting on the countless humiliations he had endured in the past four years, Manuel Rodriguez had little affection for his wife, Penelope Sullivan. Manuel knew about Penelope’s infidelity but he never let it bother him, though it did at first.It was laughable that, as a live-in son-in-law for four years, his wife had never even allowed him to hold her hand. They had always slept in separate rooms, or rather, Manuel had always slept in the boys quarters but he never complained.Manuel was no different from a maid.Manuel had finished working for the day and picked up extra bunch of flowers to give to an old lady out of courtesy.He went over to the maintenance shop to offset his bills and claim his rickety motorbike.Manuel had given the flowers to the old lady who just happened to live in the next neighborhood after where his wife’s company was situated. He rode all the way, opposite his wife’s company and stopped for a moment as something or rather someone caught his rapt attenti

Manuel sat back down to listen to what Don had to say. “Don’t worry, I’d get everything done nicely. I’d send the documents over to the suite you’re in. All you have to do is just to sign it. I’d instruct to you a new assistant.” Hearing that Manuel’s brows furrowed slightly. “I don’t want a new assistant. Return Gavin back to me. He’d continue to take his place by my side and not your errand’s boy. By the way, I found out that my villa is being managed by your son, relay my well wishes to him but I’d be returning tomorrow. So, I’d be sending Gavin to sanitize my villa thoroughly so he can hand over his duties.” Knowing Don for a relatively long amount of time, Don’s idea of a new assistant was a spy to feed him information on whatever moves Manuel would be making and he wasn’t going to let that happen. This time not only was he stronger, he was far wiser. Besides only Gavin had remained loyal to him. If it weren’t from his father finding out that Gavin sends money to Manuel occa

Damien was wearing a suit and a pair of leather shoes with the Audi car key hanging on his waist. He looked so handsome at this moment.Seeing this a lot of people tried sucking up to him and began directing crude remarks at Manuel.“I’m sure his whole outfit doesn’t amount up to 6 dollars”“Heard that he’s now out on the streets. Apparently, he was a living with the Sullivans as a matrilocal husband.”“He’s that feeble?”Shirley had had enough of the criticizing and spoke up, “You all don’t have a say as to how he lives his life.”Manuel just tapped Shirley’s arm to reassure him that he was fine but that didn’t stop the others.“Aye! Although I can’t make any money, I won’t be a live-in son-in-law. Even if you hit me to death, I won’t do it!”“Poverty stifles a man’s ambition, I never thought you’re such a short-sighted person!”Shirley slightly sighed at this moment. It was really bad to see Manuel in this situation.Damien still had not had enough. Trying to show off more, he looke

When Brandon’s eyes fell on Manuel, he was slightly taken aback.There’s no way he wouldn’t recognize his master.He quickly moved forward and walked to Manuel.He almost hugged him out of joy.He hadn’t seen his master in years.He hurriedly bowed and said in a low voice, “Sir, I honestly had no idea that you were here. Please forgive my impudence.”Everyone in the private suite was shocked at this moment.The superior arrogant Brandon who could seal their fate with just a snap of his fingers was now standing beside Manuel respectfully, just like a student awaiting punishment from the lecturer.Brandon’s subordinates were not exempted from the shock.Manuel was the only one that remained calm with a straight face.“Just let them go, they’re all my classmates after all,” Manuel said.He only decided to let go all because of Shirley. Asides him, Shirley had other friends and would definitely not want them to get immersed in troubles.“Yes! I’ll do whatever you say. I’ll let them go. I’

“This kid doesn’t look capable. His clothes seem to have a bit of quality to it but it doesn’t amount to what even the ordinary workers of this company wear. He rides a motorbike to work. He should be a cleaner, right? If he offended Miss Griffin, I’m afraid he wouldn’t even be worthy of washing the toilets.”“Who is this? Why haven’t I seen him before? Isn’t he afraid of offending Miss Griffin?”“Maybe he just wants to attract Griffin’s attention!”“That makes sense! It turns out he’s just a toad trying to swallow a swan! Does he not possess a mirror at home? He’s wearing middle class clothes. What is he thinking?”Manuel remained quiet.Gavin got him a set of high-end clothes that weren’t even displayed to the world just yet but Manuel felt satisfied with being lowkey for now and sent Gavin back to just get him something of more quality but not expensive.Emily frowned slightly and said, “You? Working in our company? Who recruited you? Why don’t I know?”“With your attitude, no matt
