"For God's sake, Win. I just finished work. And now? You want me to come to your house to help with this tender thing?"
Randy continued to grumble in annoyance. How could that squinty-eyed man not be angry when she, who had just come home from work, was accosted and even forced to go visit Darwin, who supposedly needed help.
"Who else can I ask for help, Ran? Kennedy doesn't handle tenders like this. If it were about real estate, maybe I'd drag her into it. Besides, in the Walters family, you're the one who has direct experience with joint venture projects like this."
"But aren't you a mining specialist?" Randy retorted while roughly loosening the tie around her neck.
"But I've never dealt directly with Foxtail. Whereas you, you used to work with them back when you were in Singapore."
"Hey, Jaka Sembung!" Randy scoffed. "You've got the wrong person. You should call Rama. It's Ram
After returning from work this evening, Veronica decided not to go straight home. With a driver to accompany her, she intentionally stopped by one of her favorite cafes. She ordered a Green Tea Frappuccino and enjoyed her solitude in peace. While sipping on the provided drink, Veronica's thoughts occasionally drifted. She still remembered Darwin's words from the previous night when he had called her. "Don't you have any desire to come back to my place? I miss you so much, Ve. Don't you feel the same way?" Veronica fell silent when Darwin asked that question. Of course, she missed her husband. But the disappointment she had felt was still palpable. Besides, how could she go to Darwin's home without her father giving his permission, and without Darwin proving himself as a suitable partner? "No, until you convince Dad that you're worthy of being his son-in-law." "I'll prov
For almost three consecutive days, Darwin spent dedicated time studying and discussing with Rama. He gained a lot of new knowledge and insights from his cousin, who had previously worked with Foxtail.From these intense days of discussion, Darwin learned what criteria Foxtail was looking for. He was truly grateful because Randy had directly asked Rama to help him."So, what do you think is better? Presenting a summary of the data or explaining the whole thing in detail during tomorrow's presentation?"Rama smiled. He was sitting with Darwin in the TV room and reached for one of the papers in front of his cousin."In my opinion, you should just read the summary.""Why just the summary?
After attending the meeting, Darwin hurried back to the office. Together with his team, he evaluated today's presentations. Additionally, at Randy's initiative, Rama, who had already finished his work, was asked to join Darwin at the office.Upon arrival, Rama was immediately asked by Randy to help Darwin prepare the materials for the presentation in two days."Congratulations, Win. I know you have a natural talent for this," Rama said sincerely."It's also thanks to your guidance and help. Without all of you, Infinix Group wouldn't have made it today.""So..." Rama continued. "What else can I do to assist you?""You can help Darwin prepare accurate materials for the final presentation, Ram," Randy added. "Who knows, you might have some strategies that Darwin can use in the final selection."Rama promptly sat down, grabbed a pen and paper, and began jotting d
"Veronica never expected Darwin to be this daring. He came out of the blue to meet her. And now, he even took the opportunity to declare his desire to involve Veronica in a husband-wife relationship.Veronica wasn't unwilling. Although she didn't openly admit it, she certainly missed being touched by her husband. However, Veronica was worried that while they were in the midst of their intimacy, her father might suddenly return from an event and catch them like this in the room."Dad could kill you if he found out what we're doing, Win," Veronica reminded him.Darwin didn't care. Instead of responding, he grinned again. He released his grip on Veronica's body and then unexpectedly pulled down the fabric of his pants. He approached Veronica again, then untied the knot of the silk nightgown she was wearing until it fell off."That's why I have to be quick, Ve. Besides, it's funny if a husband can't touc
That afternoon, Darwin had just finished a meeting outside. As he returned to the office, he walked lightly down the building's corridor, eager to reach his own office. A wide smile graced his face as he recalled the romantic events he and Veronica had experienced the previous night.In the midst of all this urgency, he daringly approached and invited his wife to have an intimate encounter. Even halfway through, they were almost caught when Veronica's father suddenly arrived and knocked on Veronica's door repeatedly.Luckily, everything was under control. The longing they initially had slowly started to fade away. Darwin admitted that the meeting and lovemaking they had last night with Veronica had fueled his determination to achieve what Damian had proposed to him."Sir..." Darwin's secretary greeted him when he arrived at his office. "Mr. Rama is inside. He's been waiting for you for a while now."Darwin nodded
Damian was seen sipping tea that had been served on the table while reading the documents in his hand. In front of him sat Sean, who anxiously awaited Damian's comments.This morning, before they would later head to the Colosseum building for the final selection, Damian deliberately called Sean into his office. He wanted to directly assess how far Sean and his team had prepared to advance to the final round today."Are you very confident in all the material in these documents?" Damian inquired.Sean nodded, and there was no doubt on his handsome face. Almost every day, he immersed himself in studying and preparing all the materials to be presented on the final day. He poured all his energy and efforts, including his experience, knowledge, and expertise, into this final presentation. His determination was unwavering, and his confidence was strong. Sean believed he could achieve the success that Damian hoped for.&n
Around one o'clock in the afternoon, Darwin was already present at the Colosseum. Randy and Kennedy also joined the team, accompanying Darwin. Both of his cousins came directly because they wanted to provide support and be the first to congratulate Darwin when he passed this prestigious selection. It's not excessive. Randy and Kennedy are confident in Darwin's abilities to outperform the rivals and other remaining candidates. That's why, because it's considered a fierce competition, both of them don't want to miss the opportunity to witness Darwin's success. "I pray you make it through, Win. Besides, your abilities are undeniable. If you weren't exceptional, how could you be sent to Korea to lead the company there?" Kennedy exclaimed proudly. She tried her best to boost Darwin's spirits so that his performance could be even more impressive. "No need to exaggerate, Ken," Randy interjected before Darwin could respond. "Even though
Darwin was aware that he had been very selective and had carefully thought through all the materials he would present today. Likewise, Rama had also assessed and even evaluated what he needed to convey and not convey in the presentation.Realizing that he had mastered all the material, Darwin had never been this confident before. He even believed he could perform at his best and emerge as one of the successful candidates to win the Foxtail tender.Especially during the Q&A session, he could easily handle all the questions directed at him. So, what else was lacking? Why did Darwin ultimately end up being sidelined like this?Still seated, Darwin remained motionless. His eyes were fixed straight ahead, observing how Damian, who had just risen from his seat, threw mocking glances and a smirk. Perhaps at this moment, his father-in-law was feeling satisfied because he had successfully witnessed Darwin's embarrassment for
