Claire didn't stop talking during the trip. She was very excited. Not only was she happy to be able to take her friend for a drive in a new car, but she was also excited that she would soon know where Jack lived.Claire turned her head briefly to look at Jack's face. As long as he was talking, Jack only gave simple answers. Claire furrowed her brows before refocusing her gaze forward."Jack, why do you look worried?"Jack gasped. He grimaced while showing his row of white and clean teeth. "Really? Um, maybe I'm just tired. It's been a long day." He smiled silly remembering what he had done while worrying about Claire."Are you sure you're not hiding something from me?""That's too hard to do. Even if I speak silently, you'll probably hear it."Claire chuckled. She nodded before asking, "So, where do you live now? You haven't told me either. I can't go there if you don't mention the address. There will be an intersection soon, should I go straight, turn right, or go left?""Um, that's.
The smile on Matthew's face vanished like dust swept away by the wind. His breathing became labored after the young master mentioned Donald Pasmod's name. His heart, which had been warmed by Jack and Claire's sweet story of friendship, suddenly became anxious."What's wrong Matthew?" asked Jack who saw the change in his subordinate's expression."Young Master," Matthew paused to take a breath. His breathing was heavy. There was no denying that he feared for Jack's safety every time Donald Pasmod's name was mentioned.What Matthew felt was natural; he understood how dangerous Donald Pasmod was. And Matthew certainly didn't want anything bad to happen to his master.More than that, Matthew knew very well that Tom Roodenburg's happiness was complete with the presence of Jack who was finally found after decades of searching. He couldn't imagine that something untoward would diminish the old man's happiness.Jack remained silent, waiting for Matthew to continue. However, it was not Matthew
A Rolls-Royce Phantom entered the courtyard of the Big Roodgroup building. The luxury car attracted the attention of passers-by, and Sophie Parker was no exception."Who is that coming? Why are the guards and staff standing in front of the main door to greet him?" Sophie asked herself as there was no one beside her.Sophie had just exited the Big Roodgroup parking lot when she saw a luxury car enter the building. The car didn't stop in the parking lot, but stopped parallel to the main entrance of the building.Sophie had come to the big company where her ex-boyfriend worked for no reason. She was there for a job interview.Ever since Sophie had been fired from BlueLux Hotel, she had been having trouble finding a job. That's because news of the reason for her dismissal was circulating among the other company officials. Sophie didn't know how it happened, but she kept getting rejections from all the places she applied to, even from small companies.Sophie was surprised because she didn'
Sophie stared at Jack almost unblinkingly as her ex stepped out of the elevator."Sophie." Jack tried to pull his lips back.Slowly a smile also appeared on Sophie's face. Actually, she was too surprised. Apart from the fact that she hadn't expected Jack's appearance at all, Jack appeared with a completely different appearance.Jack looked charming in his suit. He was also wearing shiny black loafers. Jack's appearance was made even more perfect by the classy watch on his hand. Sophie's careful eyes confirmed that everything Jack was wearing was branded and authentic.'How can Jack wear all that? Where did he get those things?'Although she wondered this, her perspective on Jack was different. In the past, Sophie would have thought that Jack was stealing, cheating, or doing other bad things. But now, she was sure that no matter where Jack got those things from, it couldn't have been in a bad way."I-I have a job interview. Um, I applied for a job here. What are you doing at Big Roodgr
Claire picked up a paper bag. A tantalizing aroma immediately entered Jack's nose."Burger?" asked Jack when Claire handed him the paper bag. "You asked me out to give this to me?""Yes, you should eat. It's a special burger combo. I saw a customer ordering it, then I thought of you. Take it and eat it. You must not have had breakfast yet. Now get off my car because I have to go back to King Pizza."Jack smiled wryly, feeling touched and ridiculous all at once. He looked sharply at Claire."What's wrong? Don't tell me you've eaten. I know you won't let me see your dorm room because it must be really bad now, worse and more depressing than your previous dorm. And it must all be because you have no money." Claire's voice sounded so confident. "Stop being so arrogant, okay?" she continued while ruffling Jack's hair."Don't you see my clothes? Look at my watch. What can I buy if I don't have any money?"Claire laughed. "Maybe your boss or a friend gave it to you.""Oh, does it look like s
After meeting Jack by accident, Sophie couldn't stop thinking about her ex-boyfriend. She tried hard to focus on the interview, but Jack's image kept creeping into her mind.Fortunately, it didn't break Sophie's concentration. She was still able to answer the questions from the Head of Human Resources smoothly.From the look on the interviewer's face, Sophie hoped her answers wouldn't disappoint. And now, she was very nervous because her fate was about to be decided.The results of the interview selection will be announced this afternoon. Successful or unsuccessful candidates will receive a notification message. Those who pass will automatically be accepted into the Big Roodgroup. And of course Sophie wanted to get the message with the good news.!!Sophie's cell phone beeped with an incoming message notification. She grabbed her phone and closed her eyes with a sigh.She looked at her phone screen. She gulped when she saw that the message was sent by Big Roodgroup's office number."I
The new employees awaited Young Master Roodenburg's arrival in conference room one. There were several meeting rooms in the 262-meter-high building. And the first meeting room was on the top floor, next to the director's office.They sat down with nervous faces. Some of them seemed to be holding tightly to their chairs, cell phones, feet, or anything else they could use to ease the tension.They were about to meet the number one person in the company. And Big Roodgroup was the number one company in the country. That thought alone explains how important Young Master Roodenburg is. The most influential and powerful person they had never met before."I'm very nervous. I've already gone to the toilet twice. And now I have heartburn again. But I should be able to handle it," said the woman sitting next to Sophie.Sophie replied, "Yes, you have to control it. You don't want to be on the toilet when Young Master Roodenburg comes here, do you?""Yes, I'm very worried about that too." The woma
Sophie looked at Jack who was smiling at her.'But why is Jack smiling at me?'Sophie's breathing became more and more labored. But her body seemed to move on its own.Sophie bowed respectfully!She looked at the marble as if there was a mound of gold there. Sophie's mind was now filled with new questions.If Jack was Young Master Roodenburg, why was he working as a pizza delivery boy? Why was Jack hiding his identity?But, if Jack wasn't Young Master Roodenburg, why did he dare to sit in Young Master's special seat? Besides, Matthew didn't reprimand him!"Sophie, you can stand up straight."Sophie's pupils dilated, hearing the gentle and polite words of a man. His voice was very familiar to Sophie.'Jack, is that you, Young Master Roodenburg?' Sophie asked herself.With her eyes closed, Sophie straightened up. What had happened was obvious. However, it was too shocking for her to accept the truth.'Jack is Young Master Roodenburg?' Sophie asked again. She couldn't accept that fact.M
