Chapter 102
Hearing Director Josephine words London's mouth opened slightly, but no sound came out. His heart skipped.Then Josephine took one step forward, her eyes locked on him. “Who gave you the right to act in my place? To decide who belongs and who doesn’t in a company under my care”Immediately London's face dropped.Immediately, without being told, he bowed his head. His proud shoulders slowly lowered, and his confidence started to shake.“I-I’m sorry, Director,” he stammered. “I was just… I was just trying to help. I didn’t want you to stress yourself because of… because of a nobody. Because of trash like this.”At that moment, London wanted to continue speaking. His lips had already parted, ready to explain more, wanting to say something worse, when—“SLAP!!”The sound echoed through the hall like a gunshot.Director Josephine’s hand landed hard across London’s face, and the force of it made his head snap sharply to the right.Everyone in the room froze.The assistants, the manager, the

She had never, not even once, been in the presence of Director Josephine before.The woman was like a ghost in high places, rarely seen, rarely heard from directly. Even when she called on the phone earlier today, it had already been a surprise. But now? Seeing her walk into the hall in person, calmly and without warning, was something the manager was not used to.Her body stiffened. Her heart skipped. She stepped slightly to the side, almost by reflex.And she wasn’t the only one, the rest of the guests in the hall, all froze for a moment as Director Josephine stepped in.She wasn’t wearing anything loud or flashy. Just a simple, elegant suit and a pair of small glasses. But there was something about her presence. Something silent… yet strong.Anyone didn't need to be told she was important. You could just feel it.Without being told, anyone watching could tell that something was definitely going on. The air had changed. Even the light in the hall somehow felt different.However, Lon

Even though, from everything she had seen so far, she could already tell that Tyler might not be able to afford such a high-class building like this, she still couldn’t say anything. She didn’t want to offend the director or make any mistake that could cost her job.So, keeping her face calm and professional, she looked at Tyler and his mother and gave a soft smile.“Well,” she began slowly, folding her hands in front of her, “since this place is also being considered by another person… someone else said he likes it too… it will have to go through a bidding process.”Immediately Tyler’s mother turned slightly toward her, a bit confused. “Bidding?”“Yes, ma’am,” the manager replied politely. “It means, the one who offers the highest price will get the building.”She looked at Tyler now. “So if Mr. Tyler truly wants this place, he has to win it. The highest bidder will be the one to walk away with it.”At that moment, Tyler didn’t flinch. He didn’t even blink fast or shift his legs. He

His voice was calm, but firm. Assured.The manager, sensing the shift in energy in the room, didn’t waste time. With a quick motion, she tapped on the screen remote. The lights dimmed slightly, and all eyes shifted to the large display at the front of the room.In an instant, a high-resolution image flickered onto the screen, a tall, modern structure with glass panels gleaming under the sunlight, sharp clean lines, and an aura of quiet prestige. It stood tall on Z Street like it belonged to royalty. The moment it came into view, a quiet awe fell over the room.It was, without a doubt, a magnificent building.And it fit the description and everything.Upon seeing the digital image of the building, with its elegant architecture, pristine glass exterior, and the interior rotating on screen in a detailed projection, complete with polished marble floors, chandeliers, and gold-accented stair railings, Tyler turned to his mother with a soft but confident smile.“Mom Do you like it?” he asked

The room quieted for a moment—not out of respect, but out of more curiosity. Even London, caught off guard by Tyler’s poise, stopped laughing for a second, his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed.At that moment the manager hesitated slightly, her fingers brushing the tablet in her hands. “Well…” she began, nodding slowly, “there is an alternative, Mr. Tyler. But I must be honest with you it’s not a store. It’s something far more significant.”The silence in the room deepened.“It’s one of the premium commercial buildings located at the core of Z Street,” she said. “It includes four floors, already fitted for high-end luxury retail, with additional space for customization. It’s not just for rent, it’s under private listing for acquisition. Only two people have shown interest in it so far because of the price tag.”At that moment London scoffed. “Here we go again,” he muttered, rolling his eyes.The manager looked at Tyler seriously. “But I’ll be frank with you, sir. It’s extremely expe

At that moment, hearing what Tyler just said, London couldn't just help himself, he burst into mocking laughter that rang through the luxurious hall like a drumbeat of contempt. His voice echoed, drawing the attention of everyone once more as he stepped boldly into the center of the room, his expression twisted with arrogance and disdain.“Who the hell do you think you're talking to, boy?” London sneered, waving a hand toward himself. “You think you're standing in front of one of your poor neighbors or some street seller? This is me—London. I don’t entertain delusions, especially not from someone like you.”The room grew tense again. Some of the seated guests chuckled quietly. Others nodded with approving smirks, feeding off the energy London was throwing into the air like firewood into flame.“Everybody here knows you can’t afford a damn thing in this place,” London continued, his tone rising in pride. “This isn’t some open market where you come and price pepper, Tyler. This is Z Str
