Suddenly, Richard's eyes looked at Victoria. There was a slight hesitation in his gaze before he said, "Victoria..."Victoria turned to Richard. Deep in her heart, there was a slight worry that Richard was suspicious of her, but she brushed it away. She tried to calm herself, hoping that everything would go according to plan."Yes, Richard. Is there a special task for me?" asked Victoria calmly."Yes, Vic," replied Richard. "You need to go to the EO and ask them to include us, there are a few things we're going to change."Victoria looked surprised. "How to do that, Rich. If they report to the Wils, I'm dead.""Use the pretty way, Vic.""The pretty way?" Victoria repeated, pretending to be innocent, "What does that mean?""We'll give them some money.""Ooh, that means bribe them," Victoria confirmed and Richard nodded."Hehe, but you give the money, Rich. My money savings are almost gone. Understandably, I'm just an ordinary employee now.""Take it easy, Vic. Give me your account numb
"Huh? Really? You came to the women's auction? Are you a mafia man?" Nina asked innocently.Aran just smiled at his sister's question. He understood that Nina's social circle didn't understand that. As part of the Bourgeoisie, Aran often received invitations to the free auction."Not everyone who comes to the free auction is a mobster, Lady. Certainly all those who come are the Bourgeoisie and other people with money, whether they're mafia or not, but they're mostly mafia." Tom explained"Oh, thank goodness," Nina said with a sigh. "What did you come there to do?" Nina asked Aran."Just to have a look around, to accompany Tom to investigate the situation. And it's not just women that are auctioned there, sometimes it's antiques that have a high value."Aran smiled at Nina, who was stunned by his explanation. "Haven't you ever been to an auction, Alice?""Never, brother," Nina replied with a shake of her head. She glanced at Nathan, "but my husband seems to be a frequent visitor because
"Mr. Nathan, Mrs. Nina..." Bob muttered. He was amazed to see the boss couple. Both of them were very radiant, especially Mrs. Nina.Bob secretly glanced at the woman next to him, who was also fixated on the couple Nathan and Nina. At first, he was very proud of the beautiful woman who accompanied him tonight. Still, compared to the boss's wife, Rebecca was nothing."Ms. Nina is very beautiful, Bec. Mr. Nathan and Ms. Nina are amazing.""Tsk, it's because of the man beside her. Any woman standing with him would look special. Nathan is amazing, getting more and more handsome and charming." Rebecca's eyes sparkled, her gaze not shifting from Nathan."What did you say? Nathan?" Bob's question surprised Rebecca, and she gasped nervously."O-oh, m-meaning Mr. Nathan, yes, Mr. Nathan."Bob let out a rough breath. There was a hint of irritation at the woman beside him. He immediately stepped closer to Nathan and Nina; Rebecca followed."Good evening Mr. Nathan, Ms. Nina," Bob greeted. Nathan
"Ah, shit! You dirty my suit, Miss!" shouted the man who was hugged by Rebecca. To hear the man's voice, Rebecca opened her eyes, and the lights were on. She saw the man she hugged; it wasn't Nathan. Rebecca spontaneously released her hug, and she saw that everyone was watching her; while Nathan and Nina were standing a little away from her, the two of them were holding each other intimately."N- no! Impossible!" Rebecca shouted."What's impossible, Miss. I've been standing here, you've been passionately hugging and kissing me. Come on, let me hug you, don't go into the dark, Miss.""Shut up!" Rebecca shouted. She rushed towards Nathan, but he blocked her."Miss, why are you chasing Mr. Nathan? Look, Mr. Nathan has an amazingly beautiful wife, and smart, look, Mr. Nathan loves his wife very much.""Get out of the way!" Rebecca shouted. She was in over her head, and she wasn't going to pretend anymore."Becca, what are you doing?" shouted Bob, trying to get close."Shut up, Bob! Stay
"Nathan, if you pull this woman, then this sharp shard will tear her neck, I assure you she will soon reach the hell, hahaha."Rebecca laughed out loud, while Nathan stood still, he saw Nina's face pale, very scared. Nathan's face tightened, and Rebecca had utterly lost her sanity. She didn't even pay attention to the blood oozing out of her bare feet from the splintered shard.The atmosphere became very tense. All present seemed to be holding their breath. The shard Rebecca placed right on Nina's neck was very sharp, but they couldn't do anything about it. Likewise, the people of Tom, Bill and Emmy had to be careful in dealing with an agitated person like Rebecca because she would hurt and even kill Nina."Miss, please let my wife go," Nathan pleaded, his voice trembling. "What do you want?""Miss, have you forgotten how to call me? Have you forgotten my name?""Miss Rebecca, please don't hurt my wife." Nathan pleaded again."Miss! Call me darling, like you used to!""Alright, Miss D
"Mike, what if..." Laura didn't continue her sentence. She was distraught."What could it be, Ra?" urged Mike."Maybe Richard kidnapped Victoria," Laura replied softly.Mike sighed, "let's wait for Mr. Tom."Not long after, Mr. Tom appeared, explaining that his men had lost track of Richard. Last seen, Richard was disguised as a waiter and met Rebecca. Richard was also the one who turned off the lights and went into the monitor room. But when some of Tom's men entered the monitor room, Richard disappeared. It looks like he's hiding."During the incident where Rebecca took Nina hostage, did anyone see Richard?" asked Mike, Tom replying with a shake of his head."There are two possibilities, first Richard was hiding. And secondly he's gone." Mike analyzed."I will cooperate with the veneu, to open the security camera footage.""Okay, Mr. Tom. Then we'll go to the hospital to see Nathan and Nina's condition." Mike and Laura left the venue immediately, heading for the hospital. Laura sti
"Nina! I hope you know why I called you here," said Nathan. The baritone voice sounded piercing to the ears of Nina, a young executive under him.Inside the elegant and luxurious office, Nathan Wilson, a 32-year-old man, sat in front of his desk, filled with piles of documents that he had to peruse. His masculine face complements the majesty of the boss, nicknamed the killer boss by his employees.He leads firmly and harshly, always demanding perfection from his subordinates. However, under his leadership, considerable progress has been achieved. He has brought his company to become one of the most respected giants.While in front of him, Nina Evans, a 23-year-old lady, sat with a tense face, her hands sweating; she had no idea what she had done wrong.It was already the seventh month since Nina joined Nathan's large company. Initially, she was very ambitious to join the prestigious company because she was among the best university graduates with special values and talents.However, r
Nina and Laura looked at each other, raised their faces, and looked towards the source of the sound. A man wearing a light pink shirt stood staring at them. The man's face could be categorized as handsome. Still, unfortunately, his feminine face was always adorned with a sarcastic smile, especially towards Nina. The man was Richard, one of the employees who had worked at the company for a long time; he was in the same division as Nina. But the relationship between the two seemed less than pleasant because Richard often offended or insinuated Nina. "Richard, what's the matter with you?" Laura said curtly. "It's still working hours, but you two are talking." Richard acted like a supervisor. "I know it's still working hours, but the rules of this company don't prohibit us from having a coffee to relieve our fatigue," Laura argued, "the important thing is that we don't neglect our duties and work." "Oh, yes. It's good to get the job done well, and the boss is satisfied with the result
