The Strongest Billionaire

Chapter 5

"Slow down, I'll make you fried eggs for a side dish if you're still hungry," Rini said while placing a drink beside Albert.

Albert just nodded and continued to eat heartily, ignoring everything else; he wanted to savor every bite of food that entered his mouth.

Rini also did not disturb him; she just smiled and started preparing the fried eggs, remembering that there were no side dishes left, only rice remained.

Eating with such a simple side dish, Albert managed to finish all the remaining rice in the cooker, surprising Rini a little, because such a handsome man had an extraordinary appetite.

"Finally, I'm full, thank you, Miss Rini," Albert said with a smile, rubbing his full stomach.

"Just call me Rini, we're both working for Miss Astrid," Rini replied while looking at the groceries in the fridge.

Albert nodded slowly. "I promise I will return your kindness, just tell me what you want?" he asked confidently, as he suspected that Rini was also among the candidates for women who acknowledged him.

"Just food, besides that also belongs to Miss Astrid; you work here, so don’t worry about it," Rini replied, still looking busy with her work.

Albert got up, then washed the plates and glasses he used and helped Rini a little with her tasks.

In a short time, they became quite close, even joking occasionally. Although Albert's jokes were quite stiff, Rini found him very funny, making her like him even more.

"Albert!" Suddenly, they heard Firman's voice shouting from the direction of the door.

Albert and Rini turned to see Firman standing at the back door of the kitchen, panting and sweating profusely.

"I've been looking for you, turns out you’re here! Your guard duty is in front, not in the back!" Firman reprimanded in a firm tone.

Albert scratched his head, which wasn’t itchy. "Hehehe... I was hungry, so I looked for the kitchen."

Firman sighed deeply. "Never mind, quickly go meet Miss Astrid; she's been looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" Albert pointed to himself.

"Don't talk too much, hurry!" Firman forcefully pulled Albert along.

"Eh...." He followed Firman, but before leaving, he turned to Rini and said, "I’m off now, thank you for the food."

Rini just nodded with a smile; during her work with Astrid, this was the first time a man was so enjoyable to talk to. Previously, all of Astrid's guards were stiff, including Firman.

At the same time, Astrid was sitting pensively in the main room, thinking about the call from the Yanaga Corporation Director, who said she was requested to come to sign a cooperation contract.

Previously, Albert had said he would get that contract, and it turned out to be true, even though he hadn't submitted the application documents.

Astrid held her chin in thought. "Is this just a coincidence?"

At that moment, Firman and Albert arrived, both immediately bowed, before Firman spoke up. "Miss, I have brought Albert."

Astrid looked up at Albert and waved her hand asking Firman to leave them alone.

Firman nodded in understanding, slightly bowing and then quickly leaving Astrid's presence.

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Astrid asked with a sharp gaze. "Tell me, how did you know I would be getting a cooperation contract from Yanaga Corporation?"

Hearing that, Albert was excited; he turned the question back, "So they have sent the contract?"

"No, they just called me... no, no, I was asking you, why are you turning the question back?!" Astrid said, a little annoyed, as she unconsciously answered Albert's question, when usually she was the one who always asked her subordinates.

"They called you? Wow, did they really...."

"Albert! I'm asking you!" Astrid interrupted, annoyed, as Albert seemed completely indifferent to her.

Albert fell silent for a moment, smiling bitterly, he said, "Miss Astrid, it's better if you don't come at all, let them send the contract here."

"You are right that if I wait for them, my authority will be even higher," Astrid said, nodding her head.

"True, it's just a small cooperation contract, it's underestimating you," Albert replied in agreement.

"You’re crazy! That contract means a lot to me, how can I wait! Hurry, prepare our car to go to Yanaga Corporation now!" Astrid shouted angrily and immediately stood up to get ready.

Albert was taken aback, he rubbed his chest. "Wow, this woman is very fierce, still softer than Rini."

"What did you say?!" Astrid stopped in her tracks and turned to glare at Albert.

Albert smiled bitterly. "No, I'll get the car ready!" He hurriedly ran outside.

Astrid shook her head, even though she had just met Albert, she felt something strange about the man's attitude.

Her heart suddenly raced, an odd feeling crept in, even though she was angry with Albert, she couldn't help but feel a sensation of seeking that man's attention.

"No, no, I just met him, he is just a beggar, this must be the effect of my family's pressure," Astrid murmured, clenching her fists, trying to dismiss the tumultuous feelings in her heart.

Meanwhile, Albert, who had prepared the car, gave an order to Rudi telepathically. "Come to Yanaga Corporation, there is a foolish person who dares to disregard my orders!"

Astrid stepped out of the house wearing formal attire. Albert immediately opened the door while giving a slight smile.

Seeing this, Astrid glared at him sharply, causing Albert to stop smiling and look away.

Meanwhile, Adnan George, the director of Yanaga Corporation, was seen chatting with Old Man Ramon and Gerald in his office.

"Mr. George, thank you for your trust in Ramon Group," said Old Man Ramon with a wide smile.

Adnan chuckled softly. "You don't need to be modest; after all, our relationship is very good."

Gerald quickly handed a fairly large gift box to Adnan. "Mr. George, here is a little gift, please accept it."

"Thank you." Adnan happily accepted the gift box and opened it, and he was immediately surprised to see an Ancient Vase inside.

Seeing Adnan's expression, Gerald spoke again. "I heard you really like antiques, that's why we specifically searched for it just for you."

"Hahaha... this item is very nice, you really understand." Adnan laughed happily.

While they were chatting, a knock on the door was heard. "Sir, Miss Astrid has arrived."

Adnan looked up excitedly. "Please let her in!"

The door opened, Adnan's assistant brought Astrid and Albert inside. Once inside, Astrid frowned upon seeing her Grandfather and Uncle already there.

Adnan immediately stood up upon seeing Astrid, his smile widening as he approached her.

"Miss Astrid, I've been waiting for you, please sit," Adnan said kindly, but his hand was about to wrap around Astrid's waist.

Seeing this, Albert swiftly grabbed Adnan's arm and twisted it behind his back very hard.

"Argh!" Adnan yelled in pain.

Everyone was shocked to see Albert's action of twisting Adnan's arm just like that. Old Man Ramon and Gerald quickly stood up, simultaneously shouting at Albert.

"What are you doing?!"
