Gerald couldn't help but smile as he wrapped his arms around her waist, feeling the warmth of the hug melt away the chill in his heart.

They ended the hug, and Gerald placed Juliet down gently before hugging Terry as well.

Terry blinked away tears in his eyes as he patted Gerald's back.

“Bro, you're really mean, you know that? After the way you left the party, we couldn't reach you. We assume you were too upset to talk to us, so we decided to give you space to cool off. Then we went to your apartment yesterday morning, but we didn't find you at home. Plus, the door was….well, not in the best condition.”

Juliet was also tearing up at this point as she weakly punched Gerald's shoulder to convey her anger.

“Ger, I was starting to think the worst, you know? I thought maybe you became overwhelmed with the never-ending bully and…..”

Gerald could see that Juliet was struggling to finish her words as she looked choked up, just like Terry.

“And what? You guys thought I had suddenly become suic

    Gerald was angry at this. Terry shouldn't be settling for less. He made so much, too, with his own ability. That greedy manager shouldn't have any claim over it.Sadly, the manager was well aware that Terry was a desperate boy with no one to help him. He began chuckling with an evil tone.He suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Terry by the throat before whispering close to his face.“You dare threaten me about quitting?! Fine then! Go ahead and quit! I would like to see which establishment would hire a disgusting debtor from the slums! Especially when I announce to the cafe community that I fired you for stealing from me!”Terry gasped through his choking. This was something he couldn't afford to deal with. If this manager truly went through with his threat, Terry would automatically be blacklisted and might find it hard to get another part-time job.And Terry needed this job to pay for his sick mother's medication.Understanding all this, Gerald felt a deep pain in his heart. He won

    Gerald had picked the $11 million Bugatti Chiron Profilée as his ride to Cheerio-Law Cafe. His new chauffeur, Richard Silver, was the one driving him there, of course.On his way to the cafe, Gerald kept calling Terry’s phone but it kept stating that it was currently unavailable.Gerald frowned at this as he felt something was off.“It's already nighttime. Terry should have been done with his shift, right? So why is his phone location still showing that he's there?”He later arrived at his destination and to Gerald's surprise, the cafe was closed, as expected. He checked his brand-new phone's location tracker. This phone has the latest designs, which include a superior tracking program installed into its system.Thus, the location showing on his screen couldn't possibly be a mistake, right?Gerald suddenly felt the urge to go check out the back of the cafe building. He used to work here before, and thus, he knew his way around here.The back of the building, where the trash can is pl

    Seeing Gerald's barely hidden reaction towards the food, Manager Hawkins was internally overjoyed. He had been hesitant to surprise the young master, as he didn't want to risk getting him angry.“Sir, I instructed these chefs to cook their signature meals, and together, they made you fourteen different dishes.”Gerald's eyes shifted from the bowls filled with various fruits to main course meals like Ravioli di Erbette, Lobster Bisque, Creamy Garlic Chicken, and Chicken Tagine Makful. There were even desserts like Tiramisu Cheesecake and Lemon Desserts.Gerald paid no attention to the lengthy explanation that these five chefs were giving him about their individual meals, as he began devouring the meals one by one.As Gerald went from one meal to another, he would nod his head without sparing anybody a glance.“Mmmmh! This is good! This one is good too! Oh! I like how this melts easily on my taste buds! Wow! This is so……”Unknowingly, Gerald had turned into a professional food critic.

    The “Sir, can you hear me?” from the other end of the call reminded Gerald that he was still on the phone with the female receptionist.“Um, sure. Have the package delivered to my door.”There was no question to be asked in terms of shadiness. The security downstairs would have made sure that this delivery was legit before even calling to ask for his permission.This is one of the many reasons that the Lavish-Paradise Hotel was incredibly expensive. The security operations here were top-notch, and mistakes were rarely made.Gerald walked out of his office when he heard the doorbell. He checked the LCD screen to confirm that it was a delivery man.He had no worries as he received the package. He returned to the living area and began unboxing this package. He was stunned by what he found.“A phone?”Indeed it was a phone. Warm-Glo Futures was known for creating various kinds of devices, from phones, televisions, and cars, to even household appliances. They're also one of the most soug

    Manager Hawkins shamefully looked down at himself.“It was the only chance that was given to me. Otherwise, I would have lost my job. My captors made me agree to approach you this way. Whatever happens to me after this is up to you.”Gerald finally spared this man a glance.“So basically, whether your career gets saved or ruined is in my hands?”He couldn't help but chuckle.“Well, would you look at that? It seems the power you welded over me last night is now in my possession. Seeing as you look like a dog, I'm more convinced that it's best I let you go. The entire hotel staff members have seen you in this…..humiliating form. I doubt they would ever respect you again.”Hearing these words, Manager Hawkins began sobbing once again as his forehead touched the ground.“I'll manage, Sir Stark! I promise that I can handle whatever disrespect I encounter with any of the staff members! As long as I'm the manager, no one would dare mock me to my face! Please, don't fire me!”Seconds of sil

    Gerald was stunned to find a crowd of hotel staff members huddled in the foyer of the building. The most shocking part of the abnormal situation was that Manager Hawkins Craig was…..dressed in a dog costume.That was not all. His face looked like it had barely survived multiple rounds of slaps and punches as it was swollen and covered in heavy bruises.Manager Hawkins also had a dog collar around his throat, and attached to the collar was a tag that read,[Property of the Penthouse Owner.]Gerald didn't know how to feel about this. This hotel manager had suddenly gone from the annoyingly arrogant man who insulted him last night to a beat-up dog belonging to him.His steps became slow as he approached the crowd. The closer he got to Manager Hawkins, the clearer he could see that his mouth was sealed with a tape that also had words written in it.[This can only be opened by the owner of the penthouse.]Gerald felt a bad shiver run down his spine. He knew for sure that this was his uncl
