Chapter 14
William stared at Justin in shock, his eyes wide, the heat spreading to his heart.The slap he received had deeply wounded his ego, but the middle-aged man still tried to restrain himself. His ego was no match for the risk he would face if he tried to fight a man who held more power than he did.One mistake in front of Justin and his career would be ruined, and the thought flashed through his mind, as fast as lightning, that he would lose everything he currently held in his grasp.“Sir, are you okay?” Jollie approached him quickly, trying to reach out her hand to help William stand upright.William's hand moved first, signaling him not to touch her. Being humiliated in front of them was bad enough for him, and he didn't want Jollie to make it worse. He didn't want them to focus on his humiliation. “I'm fine.”She looked at Justin with a forced smile amidst her fake composure. “Sir, I'm sorry if I upset you.” He knew the slap must have been his own emotion, but he couldn't understand w
Chapter 13
It can't be.William's frown deepened as he stared at Gideon in disbelief.He remembered who Gideon was. He probably didn't know who Handy was referring to when he so adamantly rejected the man named Gideon from being accepted into White.inc. Corp. But seeing Gideon's face right in front of him, he remembered who he was.The Gideon he recognized was his friend's son. He wasn't wrong about that, and he had more than a passing knowledge of them. He knew that his friend—Gideon's father—was poor.He had witnessed Gideon's father living in poverty and struggling so hard just to survive. It was impossible for parents like that to raise their son to such a great person; it sounded like a ridiculous and implausible fairy tale."No." He shook his head and smiled, trying to calm himself, taking Justin's words as a joke.Unlike Gideon, Justin was an important person he needed to deal with properly. She knew Justin as well as she did Gideon's background. Justin was a senior executive at White.Inc
Chapter 12
Hearing the loud voice coming from the entrance, everyone, especially William and the staff, fell silent, not daring to move.The sturdy man stood in the doorway, staring straight ahead. His cold, serious face startled William, who was now completely nervous facing that expression."Who is he?" Jollie muttered softly, right beside him, within earshot.William's entire body suddenly felt as if it had been hit by a cold wind, realizing Justin had arrived at an inopportune time.Just a few minutes earlier, he had received the sudden news that had sent him rushing to the room, almost out of breath, and Justin was the cause.He had tried to get there as quickly as possible before Justin, and he had succeeded, but the commotion Jollie had told him made him forget his purpose in coming there—to welcome Justin safely."Woe is me," he cursed under his breath, and began to control himself calmly to remedy the situation before Justin misunderstood any further.His hands moved deftly, tugging nea
Chapter 11
William raised his eyebrows in surprise, but that surprise quickly turned to anger.He glared at Gideon. "This place is reserved for important people. How is someone like you here?"Jolie nodded in satisfaction. She smiled beside him, thinking that this time Gideon was truly finished. He wouldn't be able to act arrogantly in front of William, who held power at White.Inc Corp.Sensing that Gideon's anger wasn't enough, Jolie added further spice to it, "I've already told him that, sir, but this man is arrogant and still sitting there. He truly has no sense of self."William's gaze sharpened, focused on Gideon. Jolie's words rang true because even now, Gideon was sitting cross-legged, unassumingly in front of her, who held power there. "Get your feet out of there right now!" the man said firmly.But Gideon didn't budge. He remained where he was, ignoring William's instructions."Who exactly are you, and why did you come into this place? Who gave you permission to come?" The man questione

“What?” Jolie exclaimed softly in shock, unable to believe what she had just heard.There was something different about Gideon that made her blink in surprise. Normally, he never ignored her, acted coldly toward her, or even contradicted her.The Gideon she knew was a cowardly man who obeyed whatever she said, lacking the courage to challenge or even assert his opinion in their relationship. He was someone she could easily control; everyone who knew him would agree that he was a hopeless nerd who wouldn't fight back even when bullied.But in front of her, he had just casually replied to her, sounding defiant and deeply touching her ego.Her brow furrowed deeply, her eyes glaring. “You!” Her voice choked, her emotions rising rapidly. “Are you belittling my words?!”Others might be able to look down on her, those superior to her might have reason to look down on her, though she still wouldn't accept it. But not Gideon. The man was nothing in his eyes, there was no reason for him to trea
Chapter 9
Jolie raised her gaze to the White Inc. Corp. building, which stood majestically among the other office buildings. The 345-meter-tall building, with dozens of stories, was beyond her reach, and her gaze furrowed in annoyance.She stared at the building for a moment, then stepped inside with a grumpy expression. She tried to dial the same number again, but just as before, she still received no answer.Her brow furrowed even deeper. "What is he doing? Is he really that busy that he can't even answer my calls?" She took a deep breath to calm herself.She was supposed to be meeting with Handy today. He had scheduled a contract signing for her today, but since this morning, he had disappeared. There was no word from him to remind her to come, making her feel neglected.She let out a sigh of relief, banishing her frustration. As she put her phone back in her bag, she walked confidently into the building.She stopped right in front of the receptionist's desk, who greeted her warmly. "Can I h
