MasukI have just secured a massive ten-million-dollar deal during the Black Friday Sales. I have endured several days of hectic work, yet I still find myself unable to turn down my girlfriend, Charlotte Ward. We spend the night in passionate abandon and finally fall into a heavy, restful sleep. The next morning, a loud thud jolts me awake. When I open my eyes, I realize that it's my luggage. Charlotte suddenly says, "This is the end for us, Robert. It's time for you to move out. I've already wired the money for your past services, along with your salary. So get going." I find myself caught in a daze and about to move to question her, but she stops me dead, jabbing her fingers into my chest. "Know your place, Robert. You're nothing but a gigolo to me. I might, maybe, let you keep your job in Ward Group if you beg." I almost reach out to grab her wrist but stop myself. Instead, I smile broadly and say, "You've got it all wrong. Your company wouldn't survive without me, Charlotte."

She valued my insights, agreed with my fundamental principles, and her love was directed entirely at my authentic self.I was driving her back to her place that evening. I glanced at her profile—so calm, so serene—and I knew it was time for me to tell the truth. "I have something I need to tell you, Natalie. I—"Natalie cut me off. Her smile was warm, her eyes holding a gentle, knowing twinkle. "You were going to tell me you're Robert Foster from the well-known Foster family, right? I figured that out a long time ago, Robert."I was stunned.Natalie continued with a smile, "I thought you looked familiar the first time we met, and I later realized that I had seen your photos in a financial magazine. "But I thought that it wasn't that important, as what truly matters is the immense comfort and security I find in your presence. I feel for you, Robert, not your status."I let out a genuine, relieved laugh, feeling the final shred
I turned, my eyes locking onto Charlotte with searing intensity. "You lacked the capacity for even the simplest concepts of respect and genuine honesty, Charlotte."Charlotte was deathly pale, swaying unsteadily on her feet. She finally grasped that she had not only cast aside a man who adored and obeyed her every command but had personally rejected the powerful patronage that could have launched the Ward family into the upper echelons of global wealth."I've made a mistake, Robert! I swear I know I'm in the wrong now!" Charlotte lunged forward, desperately reaching for my arm. But before she could make contact, she was swiftly restrained by Calvin's bodyguards. "I was completely out of my mind back then! Steven manipulated me! I swear I truly love you, and the feelings I had for you this past month were genuine!"I felt as if I had heard the joke of the century. "You say you love me, huh? Is love demanding intimacy from an exhausted man? Is love speaking sweetly while calculating
Everyone would make mistakes, and no one was perfect. I only hoped that this incident would serve as a powerful enough deterrent to force those newcomers to clean up their act.Calvin leaned close to my ear and whispered, "That loser was a total waste of time, Rob. Where's that woman on the phone from earlier? Who is the one who broke up with you and humiliated you publicly? She actually dared to insult me as well!"I shot Charlotte a sidelong glance and jerked my chin in her direction. "That woman who insulted us earlier is right over there—Charlotte Ward, CEO of Ward Group."Calvin immediately slapped Charlotte before I could even get another word in. "I don't usually lay a hand on women, but I'll make an exception since insulting Rob is a line you don't get to cross!"That slap landed with a clear, resounding crack. The sound bounced off the walls of the office.I watched Calvin shake the sting from his hand, his eyes now gleaming maliciously.Calvin let out a contemptuous lau
Calvin stuck out his chest with pride. "Of course! I'll definitely give it my all since you trusted me with this, Rob! You know, I would've already made a move if you hadn't held me back."A thought struck him. He grabbed my arm and asked, "Where's that woman who insulted us earlier, Rob? I still need to teach her a lesson!"That short exchange shocked not only Charlotte but also the surrounding employees. Steven, who was the closest to us, stared at me in disbelief, his mouth gaping. "Y-You're actually acquainted with Mr. Baker, Robert!"I nodded, smiling. "That's right. I forgot to mention that I grew up in Barovia. The man you're reverently addressing as Mr. Baker is just like a brother to me."In that instant, every Ward Group employee suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.Steven knelt on the floor. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Foster! I messed up. I failed to see who you were! I'm begging you; please let me off the hook!
