The clock showed 10:00, and in less than a minute from now, the flight gate to Ruoxia would be opened."I already settled all the office matters yesterday, and Dylan already confirmed that he’s already on Vonicon. There shouldn’t be any problem," Greg pondered, staring at his phone before refreshing it to ensure he didn’t miss anything.Unlike his previous business trip, this time Greg used a regular flight, which made it difficult for him to use his phone during the journey.Although it was a difficult decision for Von Rticher to let Greg fly using regular plane considering his status as their heir, flying on a regular plane was still the best option to avoid attracting public attention, given that he was hiding his identity.As for Greg himself, he didn't mind with that idea since it was rare for him to travel on a regular plane, and he was actually kinda curious about it. Besides, this mode of transportation would make it easier for Lawson to pick him up without the interference o

"It hasn't been long since the police uncovered illicit activities at the Live Club, an infamous nightclub that has recently come under scrutiny. Amidst the arrests made, one individual stood out—a seemingly innocent employee belonging to a well-known subsidiary company of GVR Company." "It's unbelievable! I can't believe Mara would be caught up in something like this!" "I know, right? She always appeared so innocent. Who would have thought she was actually working at a nightclub?" "Just yesterday, there was a rumor going around that she stole someone's husband, and now there's news spreading that she's involved in prostitution. Karma sure caught up with her quickly!" "Poor Joy. She must be shocked by all of this. She just wanted to take the new girl out after the office dinner. Who would have thought the new girl would take her to a nightclub?" These were the murmurs circulating among the employees at the GVR subsidiary company after a video of the nightclub raid spread through

Today, Joy strode confidently toward the office, a smug smile playing on her lips. The current situation pleased her immensely."Who would have thought things would take such a swift turn?" Joy mused, her smile widening.After learning Mara's dark secret from Georgia, Joy hatched a plan. She would take Mara to the Live Club, getting her intoxicated in the hope of eliciting a confession about her affair with Greg, Georgia's ex-husband.Joy intended to record the confession and share it in the office group chat to make her despised by everyone. That way, the scandal would lead to Mara's departure from the company, leaving Joy as the most dedicated employee and a potential candidate for promotion.However, just as Mara was about to answer her questions, the police unexpectedly barged in, much to Joy's surprise and at that moment, Joy believed her life would be ruined and she would be arrested for drugging Mara. But surprisingly, the police mistook Mara, who was under the influence, as a

Joy dismissed the first message with a scoff, her brow furrowing as she read the words on her phone screen. "Karma has a way of catching up with those who play the victim? Tsk! Who sends a message like this these days?" she thought, rolling her eyes as she dismissed it and refocused on her work, determined to climb the corporate ladder and leave her mark on the company.She couldn’t let a meaningless prank like that distract her.+++"Wow, Joy... I never thought that you're actually this type of friend!""Same here! At first, I thought you were just a competitive person. Who knows you're actually fun!""Haha! Well, that's why you shouldn't judge people by their cover," laughed Joy.Right now, Joy sat in the office cafeteria, having lunch with her new best friends, Sarah and Lisa. She had recently decided to change her circle of friends, realizing the importance of networking and forming connections in a competitive environment like GVR Sub Company.Though she enjoyed the company of h

Joy stood frozen, unable to comprehend what she was witnessing. Inside the vice president's office stood Greg, Georgia's ex-husband, engaged in a conversation with the vice president himself. "How is this possible?" Joy whispered to herself, her mind racing to make sense of the situation. Greg, the man Georgia had described as a worthless individual, the same person who had a secret affair with Mara, was now conversing with a high-ranking official of the company? It didn't make any sense, unless… Suddenly, Greg turned around and caught a glimpse of Joy's presence. Realizing that she had been caught eavesdropping, panic surged through Joy. She knew she had to escape now! But as she turned to leave, a shadow emerged behind her, and before Joy could react, her world went black. +++ Meanwhile, back in the office, the news of Joy's absence began to spread among her coworkers.They had noticed her zoning out earlier and assumed it was related to personal issues. Concerned whispers fill

"Dear Mr. Millen,After a lot of thinking, we have decided to give Millen Company a chance to work with Vonicon. Please send one of your representatives from Millen Company, and make sure it's the best one to convince us.Note: Remember, don't send a candidate who has previously been presented."***Knock! Knock!"Come in."CKLEK!"Mr. Von Ritcher, I just wanted to let you know that I have sent the message offering the work contract to them," Madeline reported."Okay, Madeline. Have we received any response from them?" Greg asked."Yes, Mr. Von Ritcher. They have accepted the offer and expressed their gratitude. They also mentioned that they will not disappoint you and will provide their best candidate," Madeline replied, and Greg nodded."Okay, good. Thanks for your hard work. You can go now," Greg said, and Madeline bowed and left the room.After Madeline left, Greg turned to Dylan, who was working beside him. "It's unusual for you not to question my plan. You usually always ask abo

Flashback in the interrogation room: "What?!" Joy exclaimed in shock, her eyes widening in disbelief. She couldn't believe the offer she had just received from the mysterious figure. Persuading Georgia to make Mara the one and only Millen Representative? That seemed impossible! However, Joy quickly regained her composure, realizing the dire situation she was in as a prisoner. "I—I'm sorry," stammered Joy, her voice trembling. "I didn't mean to shout. It's just that... I didn't expect your second offer to be like this. As for the first one about resigning, I can do that, but the second one… I promise I will try, but I'm not sure if it's possible since..." Joy couldn't continue her words due to fear. Deep inside, she realized that accepting this offer was the only way to save her life, but at the same time, she doubted whether she could fulfill the second part because, honestly, the offer was quite difficult. How could she convince Georgia, who had shown hatred towards Mara in t

[I have already persuaded her. Now, she should be convincing her family to make Mara the representative.]Greg sat at his desk, a satisfied smile on his face as he read the screenshot messages from his subordinate. "Well, she's not bad. Pretty fast too," he thought, contemplating hiring Joy for future tasks.Without wasting any time, he instructed his subordinate to immediately send compensation money to Joy for her successful persuasion.As Greg finished sending the message, Dylan entered the room, carrying a bag of food. "Hey, I've got your order," Dylan announced, placing the bag on the table. "They didn't have the drink you wanted, so I got you a smoothie instead. They say it's their specialty.""Thanks," Greg replied, walking over to the table to retrieve his food. He returned to his desk and began happily munching on his meal while continuing his work.Dylan couldn't help but notice Greg's contented expression."Good things just seem to happen to him," Dylan thought before frown
