Rose: Satisfaction, Gratitude, and Threat
Leon and Evelyn were enjoying their lunch when Leon’s phone rang once again. He took it out of his pocket and saw Dimitri’s name flashing on the screen.This time, Leon excused himself from Evelyn to take the call elsewhere. Evelyn shot him a questioning look, but eventually nodded. Leon made his way to the restroom.Upon entering, Leon made sure the restroom was empty. Only then did he answer the call.“You’ve found something?”[Yes, sir. We’ve located The Devil Crow’s secret base. Their current situation isn’t looking good. You already took out several of their best men. Right now, among the elite members close to their Big Boss, four are out on assignment. Only one remains guarding the Big Boss inside the base. I believe this is the perfect moment to strike.]Leon processed the information quickly. Then he spoke, “Don’t rush in. Like I told you yesterday, our current priority is securing my family. What about my request to increase security at the house?”[No need to worry, sir. Yo
Humiliation And Punishment
“Leon, what’s going on?” Evelyn whispered, stepping closer to him.Leon smirked, tilting his head slightly. With arrogant composure, he led Evelyn forward, walking past Magnus like he wasn’t even there.Magnus heard the door close behind him. Slowly, he lifted his head, then straightened his body and turned around.Through the glass entrance of La Pietra Bianca, Magnus could see Leon and Evelyn being greeted by a waiter, then escorted to one of the tables.Magnus clenched both fists, eyes burning with hate.‘I swear, I’ll get back at him for this humiliation!’ he screamed in his mind.Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, Leon and Evelyn had just taken their seats at one of the round tables in the center of the room.The waiter who escorted them explained the ordering process politely and with full respect, then walked away.Leon glanced at Evelyn, smiling casually, clearly at ease. But Evelyn wasn’t as relaxed—she still seemed unsettled by what just happened outside.“What exactly happen
That's A Real Apology?
Magnus froze, standing there like an idiot. His mouth hung open. When his eyes met Leon’s, Leon simply raised an eyebrow and flashed a crooked grin—like he could hear every word Olivia had just said.“You’re… firing me, ma’am?” Magnus asked, his voice cracking.[Yes.]“But… why?”[Why? You seriously need to ask? You treated the close friend of one of my close friends like garbage, tried to throw him out of my restaurant, and you’re still asking why I’m firing you? Did you forget to bring your brain to work today?]Magnus’s eyes widened. So it was true… Leon and Arkwell were close? So close that Arkwell could just call Olivia, and she'd instantly have his back?“I… I’m sorry, Lady Olivia. I didn’t know… I swear I didn’t know he was friends with Mr. Arkwell. I’ll let him in right now, please… please don’t fire me.”Despite his big talk earlier about still having money, the reality was far from that. His wealthy father had run off abroad with his mistress, leaving Magnus behind with a pi
Not Classy Enough?
Leon raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? This restaurant is clearly still open. Why won't you let us in? Is there something wrong with us?"Evelyn gripped Leon's arm, fairly tight. It was as if she wanted to say that her earlier worries were justified. But Leon ignored his wife's signal."Our restaurant is closed to someone like you. Please find somewhere else," the La Pietra Bianca employee repeated.Leon narrowed his eyes. The arrogant man was looking at him like he was dirt."Let's just go. Let's find another place," Evelyn whispered.Leon shook his head. For him, this wasn't about finding a place for lunch. It was about preserving his dignity."Wait. Do I know you?" Leon tilted his head slightly. "Your face... it's kind of familiar. Have we met somewhere?"The man facing Leon smirked, still with that dismissive look. His dimples appeared.Leon's pupils widened. The smirk followed by the appearance of dimples... he remembered someone."Magnus? Are you Magnus?" Leon asked.The man
Absolute Defeat
“Hold it right there!” Lucas suddenly stood up.The thunderous applause came to an immediate stop. All eyes turned toward the back row, where the Harrington Enterprises representatives were seated.“Did I hear that right? The seventh envelope just announced Magnavista Corp., not Harrington Enterprises?” Lucas asked loudly.It wasn’t just the other company reps who were surprised — even his own team looked shocked.Lucas looked furious. It wasn’t like him to lose his cool like this.“I’ll say it again. Is the name written on that envelope Magnavista Corp., not Harrington Enterprises?” Lucas pressed.His glare locked onto Rose, who was still standing on the stage. Rose looked confused. A few Astral Nyx Group executives turned back, giving Lucas annoyed glances.“I don’t understand your question,” Rose replied calmly. “I simply read what’s written on the envelope. That’s it.”Their eyes met. Lucas, clearly insulted by someone he didn’t even consider relevant, began striding toward the st
The Seven Winners
Astral Nyx Group headquarters, closed to 1 p.m.The grand hall was packed. Men in expensive tailored suits, women in flawless corporate makeup, all seated in neat, organized rows.The room buzzed with tension—the auction for the mega-project was minutes from kicking off. Attendees sat in groups, marked by the number on their invitation cards.Well… except for the Harrington Enterprises team. Their name had been crossed off the list before. It was a miracle they even got in, but it came with a price—they were stuck in the last row, shoulder to shoulder with companies they usually wouldn’t give the time of day.Naturally, they were pissed. But what could they do? At least they were allowed in the damn room.“When the hell are they starting?” Laura grumbled under her breath.“The front seats are still empty. Astral Nyx Group’s reps aren’t here yet,” Lucas replied calmly.Sure enough, the entire front row was untouched—reserved for the big shots, the organizers. Word was Director Gavin hi
