Chapter 54: The Actress and the Predator
The vast office lobby felt suffocating to Rose, despite the soft instrumental piano music drifting from the corner of the room. From a distance, she caught a sickening sight: Emran was laughing intimately with Baskoro. Her father was patting Emran’s shoulder with pride, as if the man before him were the dream son-in-law who had just won the lottery.Rose took a deep breath, forcing a faint smile onto her lips. She glanced at Samson, who walked two paces behind her. He had returned to being a cold shadow with a stoic expression, his gaze fixed straight ahead, as if their intimate conversation in her office had never occurred. However, Rose knew that beneath that black suit, Samson was watching Emran’s every move with the instincts of a predator."Ah, here is my favourite daughter," Baskoro exclaimed upon noticing Rose. "What a coincidence that Emran is here. He wants to celebrate the successful negotiation for additional land this morning. Let’s have lunch together."Emran stepped forw
Chapter 53: Beyond the Boundaries of Respect
It took less than five minutes for the office door to push open slowly. Samson appeared, his breathing still slightly erratic."Miss Rose, I—""Sit down," Rose interrupted, her expression remaining unreadable.Samson sat on the sofa, composed, and looked at Rose as she took a seat across from him."Sam, are you truly serious about helping me expose Emran’s rot?" Rose asked, looking directly into Samson’s sharp eyes. She searched for a flicker of doubt but found none."I am serious, Miss. I want to help you. I don't want anything bad to happen to you," Samson replied calmly."You are always so stiff and formal with me, but not with Clara. May I know why?" Rose asked. For some reason, his formal tone had begun to irritate her."Because I respect you, Miss. Because of you, I was able to change my life and become the man my late mother hoped I’d be. Beyond that... I truly admire you," Samson said, meeting her gaze steadily."So, that's why you can't be relaxed with me like you are with Cl
Chapter 52: The Mask of the Predator
Regret hit her like a rising tide, cold and suffocating. Rose stared at the closed door of her office, imagining Samson’s stalwart figure usually standing guard there, ready to act as a shield against any storm that came her way."He didn't betray me," Rose whispered, her voice hoarse with suppressed emotion. "On the contrary, he was protecting me from my blindness."Rose wiped a stray tear from her cheek. She couldn't afford to be weak now. The documents before her were undeniable proof that her father was walking towards a precipice, and only she could pull him back before it was too late. However, she also knew that Emran was no ordinary adversary. If the man had the audacity to forge state documents, he wouldn't hesitate to take more desperate measures if backed into a corner.Rose pressed the intercom on her desk. "Indah, is Samson still there?""I heard he’s still standing in the lobby, Miss," Indah replied. "Should I call him up?""No, leave him be for now. Please make me some
Chapter 51: The Double-Edged Sword of Loyalty
Samson drove at high speeds, weaving through the city's heavy traffic. His mind was a battlefield, torn between the guilt of defying Rose’s direct orders and a fierce determination to protect her from the destruction Emran had meticulously planned.Upon arriving at Armour Café, Samson quickly spotted Clara sitting in a corner, shielded from public view. On the table before her lay a thick brown envelope, resting there with an air of cold significance."You’re fast," Clara greeted him with a faint, inscrutable smile."Let’s get straight to it, Clara. Where are the documents?" Samson sat down without preamble.Clara slid the envelope towards him. "Emran's company illegally seized land from residents, and these are copies of the dual certificates and statements from those affected. He used thugs to intimidate villagers into relocating for inhumane compensation. If this reaches the media or the authorities, the Green Residence project will be shut down instantly."Samson opened the folder
Chapter 50: The Ultimatums
Samson stood outside Rose’s office, occasionally glancing toward the tightly closed door."What’s wrong, Sam?" Indah asked, noticing his restlessness."I’m just worried about Miss Rose," Samson replied."Why don't you go in? Usually, you're always inside the office with her," Indah said, confused to see Samson waiting in the public area outside Rose's private room."Actually, Miss Rose is quite angry with me right now. So, I don't dare—" Samson couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence."Hmm... as far as I know, Miss Rose rarely gets angry, especially with someone she trusts. Maybe she’s just under a lot of pressure. Once she calms down, she’ll call for you again, Sam. Relax, don't let it get to you," Indah said, trying to soothe him. Instead of feeling relieved, however, Samson grew even more anxious.He offered a weak smile at Indah’s consolation. He knew Rose’s anger this time wasn't just work-related stress. It was about a perceived betrayal of trust and a feeling that her dig
Chapter 49: The Unmasked Truth
"Good morning, Miss Rose," Samson greeted her while opening the car door.Rose observed Samson closely for a moment before entering the vehicle without a word. Samson quickly followed and took his place in the driver's seat.Throughout the journey, Rose stole glances through the rearview mirror as Samson navigated the morning traffic."I didn't know you were so close with Clara Beatrice Santoso."Screech!Samson spontaneously slammed on the brakes the moment he heard Rose's words."Ah, I’m sorry, Miss," Samson muttered, regaining his composure and continuing to drive, though his heart was pounding uncontrollably."W-what do you mean, Miss?" Samson asked, trying to play it cool."I know it was you, Sam. 'Samuel,' the supposed investor from London who arrived with Clara Beatrice Santoso—that was you, wasn't it?" Rose guessed, her eyes fixed on him."Miss, I—""I don't like people who lie and try to deceive me. If you’re actually working for Clara, you can resign right now, Sam," Rose sa
