"Do all these demands make sense?" Calysta asked her legal team. "This is all driving me crazy!"
The lawyer accompanying Calysta, Noland, could only sigh softly. "Everything about their charges makes perfect sense. Plus the evidence submitted is enough to keep you on your toes."
Calysta chuckled. "Are you guys trying to help me, or are you trying to get me in trouble?"
Noland chose not to speak up. Apart from not finding any loopholes to refute and finding ways to defend his client, the man himself was already quite nervous about the opponent in front of the court. A team of lawyers at the level of Richard had intervened in several hearings of cases involving Calysta and Goojoo. Noland more or less knew Richard's work as a lawyer in this country. There has not been a single case that has lost in court every time he has handled it. Plus, the arrival of Rein's team. Oh my God!
Why did Noland have to face a situation like this, anyway?

Questioning the past, it was not easy for Fabian to tell others. Only Jane. Because he grew up in an environment that might not be expected to give birth to someone who is a genius in fashion. Even Fabian himself could not understand why he ended up on this path."What are all those books and colored pencils for, huh?"Fabian trembled but could not let go of his grip on the sketch he had just finished drawing. He dared not look at the owner of the booming voice behind him. Certainly, there would be a whipping or two in store if he did not stop his activities immediately. But really, as long as he carved the tip of the pencil on the blank paper that was made into a design of clothing with a firm line at the waist, he felt that he had found a world that was so pleasant."Fabian!""Ta-but, Mom," Fabian closed his eyes tightly. He tried not to flinch despite his mounting fear. "I'm... just drawing."That remark was met with a very rough booty. It was s

Austin was busy looking over the sales report Jacob had given him. There was a significant increase on several fronts. Last week, before Samantha and Marcel's trial was held, he had visited the two main factories. Supervising directly on the part that had been missed in terms of supervision. As well as the way they produce goods that are now starting to rise in terms of sales and demand. Not only that, Jacob also said there were several new names that applied for cooperation."It's like you're drowning in a flurry of activity, sir," Jacob said with a smile. In his hand, there was another file he wanted to hand over to his boss. It just so happened that the door to Goojoo's owner's office was not closed, as if anyone could visit him. Or if Jacob could give an opinion, the boss was busy with many reports.So it was useless if the door was closed but knocked frequently."Not really." Austin grinned slightly. "Did you prepare the materials for our meeting later? The

Calysta stood among the dozens of camera beams. Turning a deaf ear to all the questions thrown at her. Frowning as she realized the consequences of being in the crowd of reporters who had been waiting for her."You... sure?" asked Noland as he handed Calysta a hat, goggles, and mask to cover her face. At least, in this case, even though those two things were not needed because Calysta's face had been widely circulated on social media, but at least they could disguise Calysta's haggard-looking face.Her eye bags were big. Her eyes were also lifeless. Plus, the face that was usually covered in light makeup only showed a simple appearance. At the very least, Noland saved Calysta from the facial publicity that could have made her the target of others. It was enough that Calysta got what she did."What else can I do? I don't like to delay. Let it be. I don't know about the news after this either." Calysta smiled slightly. "Thank you for the hat. I really appreciate i

"Yes?" said Fabian reluctantly. His cell phone kept ringing, disturbing him who was accompanying Jane to cook. Not accompanying, but antagonizing until his girlfriend asked Fabian to keep his distance. Making the man laugh endlessly because it turns out, teasing Jane is a routine that makes his mood at a thousand percent.At least that's why the final design for the show that will take place in two months is already done. All she had to do was ask the production team to realize it into a beautiful dress. There was a certain ethnic carving on the tail. It looked like a stork complete with a philosophy that followed the details of the dress."Have you been watching the news?" asked the voice on the other end. It sounded a bit noisy but Fabian wasn't too bothered."What's so important?" asked Fabian reluctantly. He put his feet up on the table and plopped down on it. His tail stole a glance at Jane who was engrossed in the grill. Delicious aromas began to fill his

Austin welcomed the clients well during the three days of discussions about the new cooperation between Goojoo and related parties. Trying to dispel the notion that his incompetence in leading Goojoo, which had been in his hands for the past few years, was due to gossip and unreasonable assumptions.For Austin. But for others, especially rivals who were deliberately looking for Austin's faults and trying to keep him down, the news of the scandal with Calysta kept rolling in."The offer and what you have is very attractive," said one of the bespectacled men who owned G&A Furniture, who had been looking at Austin with interest. But Austin also noticed that this man was quite a dangerous person in business. In addition to his desire for the price to be too low, he also wanted the quality to be on par with the high price. It was like buying things as cheaply as possible but with the best quality possible."Thank you," Austin said with a pleasant smile. For the o

"Aren't you coming down?" asked Jane once again to the man beside her. Though she was a little hopeful, accompanied even for a moment. But Jane understood that Fabian would find it hard to leave Merry.He didn't. Fabian was never afraid of his car being stolen or sealed by the officers for parking carelessly. Or if there were any pranks from nosy hands out there. Jane knew that.However, the man's steps were clearly heavy because the place Jane was visiting this time was unnatural. But Jane couldn't deny, there was a longing that had been pounding at her for a long time. But she held it in such a way that aside from being busy, she still repeatedly thought, was she worthy of visiting this place?"Go on." Fabian smiled widely. His hand was now used to gently rubbing the top of Jane's head. Besides, for some reason when he did such a small action just now, Jane's eyes were closed. As if savoring every touch Fabian gave her like now. "I'll just wait here. You need

Jane sighed softly. "I can't believe you're visiting here.""He's my father." Austin wanted to burst out laughing, but seeing Jane looking uncomfortable, he decided against it. "It's been a while since I've been here. To be honest... I miss him."They fell silent. Preferring to be immersed and busy with their own memories, especially those related to Charles who was once in their lives."I'm sorry Pa, I was too busy to ignore you." Austin closed his eyes for a moment. In his hand was also a bouquet of flowers. It was placed gently as if it was received by Charles with joy. The smile of the middle-aged man Austin looked up to was in his eyes. "I missed you, Pa.""I made a big mistake, Pa." Austin let out a long sigh. "Even if I'm telling the truth, I don't have the face to meet Papa. But my anxiety the past few days has really thrown my concentration off."Feeling that she was just an intruder, and that her business was done here anyway, Jane retrea

"Everything is well prepared, Boss," said a voice on the other end which made Fabian chuckle. Perhaps because he often asked about the preparations for the show which he thought would be much grander than other shows, Fabian was a little worried about all the preparations. Don't miss anything let alone encounter obstacles."That's good," Fabian replied cheerfully. "What about the finishing of the last dress I made? What stage has it reached?""Just adding the embroidery details on the back ribbon. The most difficult and attention-consuming part has been done well. You can check it directly to see the finished result." Irena's voice seemed calmer, at least for now, because her boss liked to keep her at the point of frustration.In addition to her many wants, this event was somehow much more troublesome than in previous years. Maybe besides the new concept, the boss had other goals during the show. Irena thought it made perfect sense."What do you think?" F
