Richard Foster of course understood that he could not dodge anymore so he could only reply, "Hm. Yes, you're welcome.""Thank you, sir," Jack said as he smiled at Richard.However, Richard didn't like seeing the satisfied smile on Jack's face and he again warned, "But, don't get too happy. There's a lot of difficult work for you to handle, if you can't do it, you'll be fired.""You understand that right? Remember, this is not a small company. This is a giant international company." Jack wasn't scared at all, instead he said, "Don't worry, I'll gladly try to do it in the best way possible.""This company means a lot to me, I won't play around and will always take everything seriously," Jack continued.All of this, of course, would be done by Jack for the sake of the company he would soon be leading. Apart from his family, to be precise for his grandfather and parents, he also did it for himself. It was a proof for him if he really deserved the title of an heir to the Morland family. H
Ignoring his pain, Hugh Morland replied with a slight cough, "No, Gideon. Remember, Jack must not be bothered with bad news about me."Gideon began to look troubled. But Hugh said, "Gideon, you promised me that you would not say anything to Jack without my orders. So, I beg you, keep your word."The man who had served Hugh for a dozen years also looked at the master through the screen with uncertainty."Please help that old man who has no one else but my grandson. You're the only one I trust, so can you assist Jack to reach his goal, Gideon?" Hugh asked whose face was starting to look pale.Gideon realized that his great master's wishes were only for his grandson's benefit, so he had no choice but to say, "Yes, sir. You do not need to ask me for help. I will certainly always do the task you give me."Hugh Morland nodded with relief. "I am glad to hear that.""But, you must ....""Of course, I know what you're going to say, Gideon," Hugh cut in quickly.The old man snorted in exasperati
Jack Morland should have known that even if he had completed the initial challenge, there was bound to be another one that came along like this one. The young man currently had no time to argue with others as he had an appointment an hour away with Gerry Hall in Ferlo Street.However, he also didn't want to make his coworker even more resentful of him and get him into more trouble.So, Jack quickly replied, "I'll finish it in the morning.""Tomorrow morning? Are you deaf? I said that the assignment must be submitted to Mr. Foster today," the fat man said whose name Jack still didn't know.Jack reiterated, "I can only do the job tomorrow. I have to go now."The man glared angrily, feeling opposed by a young man who had just joined the company as an intern. His other coworkers knew that the man named Benjamin Ferl was going to explode in anger so they began to fear that Jack would be exposed to the man's wrath, so Edward, who was the one who was a little bit on Jack's side, said, "Ben,
Meanwhile, Jack Morland had just gotten out of his luxury car and was looking around the Ferlo Street area. An area that was the center of fashion in Ocean Hill.Ferlo street could one of the great cities of fashion which had many famous anda luxury boutiques. And they were filled with boutiques owned by famous designers all over Ocean Hill. In fact, it was said that if someone ever bought an outfit from a designer on Ferlo Street then it was certain that the person must be quite wealthy.That's what Jack knew from what he had read a while ago about this street that was popular with international models and the wealthy.It was no surprise, then, that all along the street Jack saw only a line of luxury cars parked on the side of the road. That explained why the customers of the boutique shops on Ferlo Street were from the upper class.As long as Jack saw the street, he only saw people with branded clothes and looked well-known such as some celebrities.At the moment Jack in his simple
Gerry Hall smiled, "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that after meeting that young man a few times, I've come to know how his bad temper comes about.""He's a lot like his father, not a very pleasant person at all," Gerry added.Jack frowned, "In that case, I'm not friends with him. Our relationship is ... not good."Gerry turned his head at once, "What has he done? Did he make you angry, Young Master? Hm, how dare he!"Jack sighed, "He doesn't know who I am so all he knows is that I'm just an ordinary person."Gerry clucked his tongue, "Uh, I just realized and remembered. You decided to hide your identity from the public. I ... was one of the very lucky ones to find out. I have Gideon to thank for that."Jack raised his eyebrows, Gerry corrected, "I mean you too for trusting me. But, I'm glad Gideon was willing to answer my questions about the newly discovered Morland family members.""Gideon probably forgot that I'm a person with such a good memory that I still remember everything related
Jack Morland immediately observed what Gerry Hall was about to do. Curiosity got the better of him.In Jack's opinion, if Gerry Hall was furious with Celine and even punished the young girl or fired her, it meant that everything Gerry had said about the Gray family meant nothing.It was only his opinion not about the action.His annoyance or dislike meant not much. Or in other words, the money spent by the Gray family to pay for his services could make Gerry's sense of self-worth disappear.However, if the opposite was true, it meant that Gerry Hall was not a man who only thought about his business profits. And Gerry deserved to be one of the people he trusted."Oh my, Celine. Why are you still asking me that?" Gerry looked at the young girl with a resentful gaze.Celine displayed an alarmed expression and then said with a stammer, "Although I obeyed your order not to let anyone interrupt your meeting with Mr. Jack, but this is the Gray family, sir. You would be losing a high-class cus
Hearing that confident remark, Tobias Gray burst out laughing. Jack just looked at the person who had snatched his lover without annoyance. He shouldn't have been annoyed at Tobias Gray, who had a bad habit of insulting others.Raymond Gray also said, "Young man, don't make me want to laugh too.""Laugh if you want to laugh, Mr. Gray. There's nothing against you at all," Jack said.Tobias stopped laughing, while Raymond said, "Oh my. You're a lot braver than I thought. A poor kid from an orphanage like you shouldn't be like this.""Why not? Anyone with money, of course, has the right to spend it anywhere, including Ferlo Street," Jack replied still fairly emotionless.Tobias snorted loudly with a disdainful smile. "Don't be like that! You might be able to afford those overpriced shoes, but as for clothes, you could spend several years buying clothes on this street, Jack. Wouldn't that be a huge drain on your treasure?" Raymond nodded in agreement, "Instead of spending your money on
Jose Collins shook his head, "Jack, there are many pairs of eyes in your division. And they all have mouths."Jack sighed. Now he fully understood. Of course the people who said and spread it out were definitely people from his own division. Jack was really surprised. "These people should be busy with their own work. But why do they even have time to make such inane news?" Jose looked at the young man sympathetically. "You ... don't believe the rumors, do you?" Jack asked Jose.Jose nodded, "If you really have a close relationship with Gideon Miles, you can't be as stupid as I saw when you first came here."Jack winced at that."No offense! But it was real. Someone who comes brought by Gideon Miles doesn't necessarily have a close relationship with him. You might just be lucky to be helped by Gideon but he obviously ignores you."Jose's words made Jack very relieved.Jose added, "If he was your father, how could he let you be in that general division? You must have risen to the to
