Hearing Fiona's words, Samuel gave his reasons quickly. He knew that Fiona would ask something like this. "He is someone who is very close to me."

Fiona frowned, she even remembered that Samuel had never talked to her about this before. "Is that true? But you never told me anything."

Samuel nodded his head. He answered calmly. "He owes me his life, and that's why he gave me this position."

Fiona raised one eyebrow. She seemed to doubt Samuel's explanation. "Isn't this too much, Samuel?"

Samuel could see the doubt in Fiona's eyes. He knew that this could not be easily believed. But it was a fact that could not be avoided.

Samuel put one hand on Fiona's shoulder. He tried to convince his wife. "Don't worry, my friend is a really good man. And I can do all this work."

He wanted to show Fiona that he was a husband she could rely on.

But Fiona couldn't lie to herself that all of Samuel's words were really doubtful. She had worked for several years, and someone would not easily entrust their company to a stranger, even though the man had helped them.

Instantly, a bad thought crossed her mind. Anxiety enveloped her heart. She held Samuel's hand tightly. "Samuel, have you checked it properly?"

Lately, Fiona had often read bad news about fraud. She just didn't want her husband to experience the same thing.

Her eyes were full of worry, holding Samuel's hand even tighter. "Samuel, I just don't want you to be a scapegoat and get you into bad trouble."

Fiona bit her lower lip. "They could cheat you and you could go to jail."

Saying that made Fiona even more afraid. She hoped that Samuel was not easy to trust.

It was very doubtful, a manual worker with no experience whatsoever, getting a position so easily. And that thought was not easy for Fiona to accept. “Samuel, there are a lot of money laundering cases these days, and I don’t want them to get you into trouble.”

Samuel understood his wife’s worries. He also held Fiona’s hand gently. “Fiona, calm down. Everything will be fine. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

Fiona sighed. This time she nodded and had faith in her husband. After talking about it, Samuel and Fiona walked together.

Adam watched from a distance, the man walked over and immediately greeted Fiona when they faced each other. “Hello Miss Fiona, I am Adam and I will be Mr. Samuel’s secretary.”

“Actually, I am Mr. Justin’s secretary. But starting today, I will be working with Mr. Samuel.” Adam introduced himself, greeted by Fiona’s outstretched hand.

The woman smiled and nodded her head. “I am Fiona. And nice to meet you, Mr. Adam.”

Fiona looked at Adam carefully. “Why did Mr. Justin give this position to my husband?”

Fiona glanced at Samuel briefly, then she looked back at Adam seriously. “Isn’t this too much?”

Adam shook his head with a smile. “Of course not.”

“Actually, Mr. Justin owes his life to Mr. Samuel. And that’s why he gave his position to Mr. Samuel.” Adam explained it slowly. Knowing that this would not be easy to accept. “Moreover, Mr. Justin is currently sick. And he can’t do his job anymore. He entrusts everything to Mr. Samuel.”

After knowing that their answers were the same, Fiona really believed them. Although in her feelings there was still anxiety about her husband.

Currently, Fiona and Samuel had walked home. But when they passed a supermarket, Samuel stopped the car. “Fiona, I have to go inside. Do you want to come with me?”

Fiona frowned. “Do you need something?”

“Yes, I have to buy groceries.” Samuel explained. When he was about to go inside, Fiona stopped him.

Fiona raised an eyebrow. “Samuel, are you going to cook after you get home from work? It’s so tiring.”

Samuel smiled and nodded his head “it’s no problem, I can prepare food for them after this.”

Fiona didn’t agree with that. She knew that this was a tiring day for her husband. And she realized that all this time, her family had been making things difficult for Samuel.

Fiona sighed. Her heart was filled with guilt. “Samuel, you don’t have to bother yourself.”

“You shouldn’t have to obey all of mother’s wishes and orders too much.” Fiona held his hand tightly.

Samuel didn’t agree with that. This was his first day at work. He thought of something. “Fiona, at least there should be a celebration today.”

Fiona understood, until finally they decided to go home and invite her mother and younger brother to have dinner together outside.

When they had arrived, Fiona decided to go down and give the news to her mother and younger brother.

Of course this made her mother very happy. "Is it true that we will have dinner together?"

Darell who was there became very enthusiastic. "Really? Can we eat at Harrods restaurant. That would be a great dinner."

"Everyone has been talking about dinner there, I really want it." Darell shook Fiona's body impatiently to leave.

Fiona just nodded her head, agreeing to Darell's request at this time. Besides, this was a great day for her husband. It didn't matter if today they would have dinner in a luxurious place.

After a while, her mother and Darell had returned. And when they were about to get into the car, they were quite surprised when they saw Samuel in it. "Why is he here?"

"He will only disturb our fun." Emma spoke sarcastically. “Come on, just push him out of the car. Just leave him.”

    The woman seemed so scared that her body was shaking a little, she even felt her palms wet with cold sweat and then with fear the woman spoke. “I—I… I didn’t see Mr. Samuel’s name on the list of important guests,” Then the woman looked at the security guard and said, “Maybe Mr. Samuel didn’t tell me correctly!” The security guard felt very annoyed with the receptionist, as if his eyes were wide open. “How could you say something like that? I’ve even asked you to check it several times and you said that there was no Samuel’s name listed there! And that’s why I strictly forbid Mr. Samuel from entering this company.” “I’ve even told you about Mr. Samuel and why are you making excuses now?” The security guard looked annoyed with the receptionist. How could the woman deny it when she had been caught red-handed. Moreover, the receptionist’s excuse could endanger him while he as a security guard was only doing his job. It is true, his job as a guard is only to receive guests

    The next day, Lyla felt her head was very dizzy after thinking about Samuel's changes. "I don't think it's possible. How could he change so quickly?" Lyla exhaled roughly.She walked back and forth and occasionally massaged her head which was starting to hurt. "Where did he get that much money? He's just a servant who has nothing.""Ah no. Why do I have to keep thinking about that man? I think this is a mistake. There's no way he could change that easily." Lyla seemed to convince herself.Lyla took her white bag. She wanted to take her cellphone which was inside there, but her hand accidentally touched a small object and she immediately saw it. It was an access card to a gathering event that was only attended by socialites.Her eyes seemed to move as she studied the card. "Rather than keep thinking about that stupid man, I'd rather spend some time there."Lyla immediately got ready. She wore her best dress and immediately left her house until after an hour of travel, Lyla had arrived

    Samuel stared at Lyla's face coldly. "Oh so it turns out I work with you?" Reynol shifted his feet slightly to look at the two people who were staring at him sharply. Then he spoke again, "Then how come I don't have money when I work for a big family like the Bernard family?"Samuel's question immediately made Lyla and Thomas silent. They became hesitant and afraid to speak again. And at this time, the two people looked around. In fact, the people there, directed their gazes at the two of them"That's because you never paid me." Samuel revealed the fact in front of everyone here. Everyone was currently whispering to each other, even some of them looked at Lyla while shaking their heads. The Bernard family name was not a foreign name to their ears. Until when Samuel said that he was not paid, it shocked everyone.Samuel's hands were in his pockets, his gaze still looked cold. "I'm not a servant. And that man is your lover." Samuel stared sharply at Thomas who was beside Lyla at this ti

    A man's footsteps walked very calmly. While both of his gazes were straight and looked very firm. "Found it."A man with sharp eyes was watching a man who was none other than his wife's lover. At this time, Samuel saw that the man was talking to someone else. But for now, Samuel chose to ignore the man first, because he could not be seen yet.Samuel was at a fundraising event held by an important community there. And Thomas's arrival had actually also been arranged to make a donation at the event. And of course because he wanted to raise his reputation among the people who attended the event.The event was just about to start, suddenly Lyla came who also attended the event. The woman immediately looked for a seat right next to Thomas' body, until now they seemed to be sitting quietly. While without them knowing if secretly, Samuel watched her from a distance not too far away. Samuel looked at her with a cold gaze."Welcome to everyone who has taken the time to attend a fundraising eve

    Inside the narrow room, Samuel stared coldly at the rows of iron bars in front of him and this made him very sick. His annoyance had not disappeared after knowing that Lyla had given him a painful betrayal and now, of course, he would not let this happen just like that.Samuel looked at one of the policemen on guard. The policeman named Jeff had his legs up on the table, while his hands seemed busy playing with a smartphone far from where Jeff was sitting. Samuel looked at him coldly and said, "I want to call someone, can you give me the phone?"Jeff immediately turned his head, staring at Samuel with a sharp gaze. He thought that Samuel had disturbed his fun. But suddenly Jeff laughed loudly. He shook his head while lowering his legs from the table. "Are you kidding? You want to make a call?" He laughed again but in a split second, his face suddenly changed to being very serious. “You should be self-aware. Who are you to dare to borrow a phone? You are nothing more than a troublemake

    “Shouldn’t you clean that up right away!?” A woman was pointing at the spilled water that had just been spilled beside her. More precisely, it was the woman who had intentionally spilled the drink. Lyla looked at the man who had become her husband with a sharp gaze. A gaze full of emphasis and also full of anger. While Samuel who was there nodded his head. He said, “Yes, of course I will clean it up.” Samuel said it softly.Without having to wait long, the man with a tall posture, now immediately moved to take a cloth and with him cleaned up the spilled water as ordered by Lyla.Seeing Gideon who started working, Lyla seemed to smile slyly. She took her drinking water again and very deliberately, she poured the water back in a different place. “Clean this up too.” Lyla gave another order with a satisfied smile.Lyla continued to watch Samuel’s movements. He sat very arrogantly. He saw both of his hands in front of his chest, while his legs were also crossed like a boss who was paying
