The Strongest Billionaire

Chapter 8

Rini's reprimand made Albert immediately turn and embrace Sisil while smiling and whispering to her. "Don't say anything inappropriate, or...."

Sisil quickly nodded her head; she was truly scared that if Albert really got angry, it wouldn't just be her who would have problems, but her family too.

"We're just joking, right Miss Sisil?" Albert forced a smile.

"Y-Yes, we're just joking, Miss...." Sisil quickly added with a trembling tone.

Rini stared at both of them for a moment with a scrutinizing look, and then she sighed in relief and approached them, offering the snacks she brought.

"I thought Albert was hurting you, it's good if he isn't. Because a man should never hurt a woman," Rini said with a warm smile.

Sisil raised her palm and shook her head. "P-Please don't misunderstand, Sir...." Her voice choked as Albert gripped her arm tightly.

"I-I mean Albert is very good to me," Sisil continued while swallowing nervously.

Albert released his embrace of Sisil. "Go on, you said you had important matters."

"Y-Yes!" Sisil replied quickly and hurriedly left.

"Hey, wait! Let's have some snacks first!" Rini called out loudly. However, Sisil ignored her and rushed away.

Albert grabbed the plate of snacks and the cup of coffee in Rini's hands. "Just for me," he said while sitting in front of the door and eating the snacks.

Rini could only shake her head while smiling, then she sat beside Albert, staring at the handsome man's face as he enjoyed the snacks.

Just like earlier in the afternoon, Albert savored the snacks eagerly. Rini, who had heard from other guards that Albert was previously a beggar, was sure that he had never eaten food like this before. That's why every time he was given food, he enjoyed it immensely.

While watching Albert, Rini asked, "Do you still have family?"

Albert quickly answered. "Since I was little, I've been an orphan, I only have one close person."

Rini nodded her head in understanding. "Now that we are working together, it means we are family; if you need anything, just say it. As long as I can fulfill it, I will definitely do it."

Albert looked up, gazing at Rini and smiled. "Thank you," he said sincerely; after a long time, finally, someone other than Rudi was willing to help him.

"Oh right...." Albert quickly set the plate of snacks beside him, then immediately took out a silver necklace from his pocket, "for you...," he said while handing her the necklace.

Rini happily accepted the necklace. "Thank you."

"Do you want me to put it on you?" Albert asked attentively.

Rini nodded while smiling. Even though it was a cheap necklace, she wanted to accept it. Because it was the first gift a man had given her.

She didn't know that the necklace was made of white gold and Diamond, a gift from the System that Albert had kept in a dimensional storage, worth millions of dollars.

After Albert finished putting the necklace around Rini's neck, he smiled and said, "You look great wearing it."

Rini smiled back, holding the sparkling pendant of the necklace. "I will take good care of it."

Albert nodded and continued eating the snacks, while Rini went into Damar to prepare for dinner.

At the same time, Jerico and Sisil were about to leave the Astrid Villa after finishing the contract signing for the partnership.

As they were about to get into the car, Sisil whispered to Jerico. "Sir, it seems that Mr. Yanaga really likes Miss Astrid, to the point that he is willing to pretend to be poor and become her guard."

Hearing that, Jerico loosened his tie and swallowed hard. "Fortunately, I'm not as foolish as Adnan; if I hurt Miss Astrid's feelings, my life would be over." He paused for a moment and then gave an order, "You keep a close watch on this collaboration; if anyone dares to disturb Miss Astrid, handle it quickly."

"Yes, Sir!" Sisil replied promptly.

The two of them quickly got into the car and left Villa Astrid. Jerico felt relieved, having executed his orders well.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Astrid stared at the contract she had just signed in wonder.

"What is really happening? Why are all of Albert's words coming true?" Astrid wondered to herself, confused.

At the same time, Rini came in bringing Astrid's favorite avocado juice. She placed the juice on the table while bowing her body.

Astrid glanced at Rini and smiled, as the girl, though just her servant, was considered like a sister. However, her eyes narrowed when she saw the necklace hanging around Rini's neck.

"Please, Miss," Rini said softly and was about to leave.

But Astrid immediately stopped her. "Wait a moment, Rini!"

Rini, who had already turned around while holding the tray, turned back and asked, "What is it, Miss?"

"Come here and sit!" Astrid commanded softly but firmly, patting the sofa beside her.

Rini complied and sat down next to Astrid, looking at her mistress with curiosity about why she was suddenly asked to sit.

Astrid suddenly reached for the pendant of Rini's necklace and examined it closely, her eyes widening in shock.

"There's no mistake, this is indeed The Rock Diamond!" She looked at her servant seriously and asked with curiosity, "Rini, where did you get this necklace?!"
