Gene narrowed his eyes even more, looking almost oriental. Mark wondered if the HR manager needed glasses.

“Any problem, Gene?” He asked.

“Don’t you see it as a problem, someone unknown to us while you’re completely known to him? I bet he knows the color of your underwear!” Gene exclaimed indignantly.

Mark raised an eyebrow. That joke again?

“No, he doesn’t know,” Mark replied, maintaining his calm. “But we can check. Mauro said he was near my parking spot.”

Gene calmed down too, understanding his boss’s idea. “There’s a camera right nearby. I remember Adrian Curtis...”

“Forget him, and check the recording with the security team. We’ll get a good image of him, if possible.”

Gene took out his cell phone and dialed the parking lot.

From the parking lot guardhouse, Mauro answered, “Hello, Mauro speaking?”

“Mauro, this is Gene. Manager Ferro requests today’s recordings showing the sinister man who peppered you with questions.”

“Good idea, why didn’t I think of that before?” Mauro got exci

  • Chapter 734 Do Not Exclude Celia or She Will Get Worse

    Briana took a deep breath, finishing Celia’s inclusion. “Done! Everything’s normalized.” She looked up at a stunned Karl. “Honestly, Karl? I’m hoping Celia WILL SHOW UP at the engagement party.”Karl widened his eyes comically. “You’re hoping for the party’s downfall, Brie?”“No. If Celia shows up at home, I won’t stop her. If she causes any trouble, she’ll be expelled properly. I won’t feel guilty for having tried. It’ll be Celia’s fault if she takes advantage of the chance I’m giving to mess everything up.”Karl pursed his lips to the right, then retorted, “I don’t know about you, but I feel she won’t take the chance to behave civilly.”“Why do we always have to think about the negative side?” Briana sat at her desk. “Maybe Celia will surprise us.”“Maybe, but I doubt it. There’s too much hatred in that woman’s heart. I don’t know what Mark saw in her,” He said and left.Briana didn’t know either. She only knew that Mark had never been a man to choose a partner lightly.If he marrie

  • Chapter 733 I Will Attend Your Party

    The actresses were surprised as Celia knocked the scripts to the floor after announcing where Luana and Karl's engagement party would be.“Celia, what happened?” one of them asked.“Don’t worry, I tripped on something.” Celia picked up the fallen scripts.Everyone looked around, not finding any rock or anything that could explain Celia’s stumble.“Excuse me, I need to keep going.” Celia quickly stepped away from the group, too embarrassed to face them.Her mind was in turmoil, barely able to process what was happening.‘Did Briana really not invite me to the party? I joked with Mary Ellen about it... How could I have guessed I’d be right?’ Celia shook her head. ‘No, Celia. Briana wouldn’t do this to me. It must be the other girl’s plotting.’Celia had the misfortune of seeing the same Luana working with the series director, talking about some details.“We got permission from the City Hall to film that scene near the fountain in the square, director,” Luana said proudly.“Great! Let’s

  • Chapter 732 Tension in a Hotel Room

    “Luana, you scared me,” Briana complained.“That’s the point — scaring you so you won’t make the mistake of inviting someone I don’t want there!” Luana shot back aggressively.Karl stepped to Luana’s side, showing support. “Please, Briana. Couldn’t you make just this one exception for us?”Briana’s jaw dropped. “Wait... you too?”Luana couldn’t help but pile on the drama. “What do you mean, my friend? Karl and I are on the same page, just as a husband and wife should be. What will people think if he’s fine with the woman I hate?”Karl smiled, trying to defuse the tension. “Don’t worry, Briana. We just want to avoid trouble. It’s not like Celia is dying to attend anyway.”Briana frowned. “It’s just that I’m inviting almost everyone from Glamour. It’ll look bad if Celia’s the only one not showing up, especially when we’re inviting even the janitors and the parking lot guys.”“Invite them too — just not Celia. Even Mary Ellen can come.” Luana’s tone was firm, leaving no room for debate.

    Vargas knew Lord Ferro always had a plan, but even so, he couldn’t help feeling a flicker of panic.“Lord Ferro, are you sure about this?” He tried to stop Mark, who was heading to the counter to pay.Mark gave his subordinate a quick glance that was somewhere between mocking and friendly.Still, Vargas felt chills down his spine and held his breath, like he was walking toward the guillotine.Is that really a question you ask Lord Ferro?Moments later, Mark and Vargas exited the café.“Tell your man we’re on the way. If Mr. Lemes leaves, we’ll have to track him.”“Yes, Lord Ferro.”******Briana couldn’t believe what she was witnessing.In her office, Karl was on one knee in front of an emotional Luana, holding out a small box that needed no explanation.Luana, breathless with emotion, took the box without even opening it.She’d seen plenty of boxes like that — she knew it was a formal marriage proposal!“Karl... You...”“Luana Barros, will you marry me?”“WHAT A SILLY QUESTION, OF CO

    “Mary Ellen, you’re confusing me.” Celia pulled away, trying to escape the compromising conversation. “Are you seriously telling me that Karl has feelings for me?”“That’s what it seems like.” Mary Ellen gave a mischievous smile.“So, does that mean I should return his feelings?” Celia baited her.But Mary Ellen didn’t take the bait. “No. I’m saying you need to extinguish and erase any lust he might be feeling for you from his mind.”Celia made a face of disbelief.She thought her friend was finally going to understand!“How am I supposed to do that? And why?”Mary Ellen replied more forcefully, “If you don’t shut this nonsense down, everything Luana’s always accused you two of will come true! Can you imagine the war that would start? Briana will lose her patience and fire everyone – and that might even splash back on me and my career.”Celia gave a knowing smile. “Don’t worry, Mary Ellen. You’ll be exempt from any blame. I’m the incorrigible troublemaker here.”“I didn’t say you’re d

  • Chapter 729 Mark Seeks out Lieutenant Ribeiro

    “Do you know anything about Lord Ferro?” Ribeiro leaned forward.Mark shook his head, without showing nervousness. “I’m not very into political and military matters.”Ribeiro stared at Mark for a few seconds, as if he were thinking about something. Then, he said, “It seems this member of the royal family brought so many victories to Aurelia’s Army that his head is in high demand. There are many defeated people wanting revenge on him, so he had to go into hiding after retiring.”“Certainly. It’s a logical reason. I told Mary Ellen that it was not up to Glamour to investigate Lord Ferro’s whereabouts and write a story in a trivial tone.”“Therefore, Mr. Ferro, you must understand that, if there’s someone wanting to cause political intrigue, Glamour is being targeted as a scapegoat or a sacrificial lamb, as they say.”Mark tensed his jaw, not liking this at all.“If something of great magnitude explodes, people or Parliament will hold Glamour accountable. The company would suffer, and yo
