When she arrived at the White Grand mansion, Nathalie's eyes widened. The classic-style building in front of her eyes was even twice as big and grander than Nicholas' Grand mansion.

Nicholas grabbed Nathalie's hand and put it on his arm. "Are you ready?"

Nathalie took a few breaths, patted Nicholas' hand, then stomped her right foot and lifted her chin. "Let's go!" -- she said gallantly.

Nicholas smiled because even though Nathalie was like that, her voice sounded shaky.

The Grand family had gathered in the living room when Nicholas and Nathalie entered.

"Good evening everyone," said Nicholas. He nodded to everyone in front of him, as did Nathalie. "As requested by grandfather, I brought my lover, Nathalie Darren to formally introduce herself to you."

"Good evening everyone," greeted Nathalie politely. "Although we have met twice before, I feel the need to formally introduce myself again. My name is Nathalie Darren Adams, but I rarely use my father's name. Thank you for the invitation

    Nathalie wasn't afraid of anything. Let Grandpa Jerome live with her and Nicholas in the Grand Mansion and see how they interacted.So far, everything between Nathalie and Nicholas had been natural and straightforward. There was no awkwardness or fake behavior.Maybe, it was fortunate that Nathalie and Nicholas had known each other since they were in college and even though they weren't close at that time, their relationship wasn't bad either.After talking, Grandpa Jerome invited Nathalie back to the living room, where the others were still gathered.Andy and Lilian looked at Nathalie suspiciously, while Leon seemed to be thinking about something.The conversation that was taking place felt stiff, as if forced, but Nathalie didn't want to show that she was feeling tense.Nathalie and Nicholas had talked about this before, even anticipating what kind of atmosphere might occur. So, this wasn't a big problem to deal with.Nicholas mostly talked to Grandpa Jerome, occasionally with his f

    The CCTV footage clearly showed what happened in the hallway.Leon's face was burning with shame. The pain in his groin was still throbbing, as was his shin that was kicked by Nathalie, and his face was also very sore after being beaten by Nicholas."Tomorrow morning, I will make sure you become the main topic in the mass media, Leon," Nicholas said sarcastically. "The CEO of Grand Enterprise tried to harass his brother's lover.""What do you mean, Nicholas?" Andy snapped. "Do you want to embarrass our family?"Nicholas stared at his father with a look full of hatred. He slammed the table, until everyone was shocked, except for Grandpa Jerome, who remained calm watching the interaction between his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.When shocked, Nathalie spontaneously put her hand on Nicholas' thigh and it did not escape Grandpa Jerome's gaze. He also saw how Nicholas' head fell back."Dad, what do you mean I want to embarrass this family?" Nicholas asked sharply. "Leon was the one

    Andy paced back and forth angrily. He still wanted to scold Leon, but he couldn't bear to look at Lilian's eyes that were already very swollen from crying too much."Dad, please, listen to my explanation first," Leon said carefully. "I'm willing to give up my position to Nicholas, with certain considerations.""Tsk!" Andy snapped angrily. "Why did you do that stupid thing, Leon? You've never been too interested in women, why are you now trying to seduce Nicholas' girlfriend?""Honey, please, don't keep getting angry," Lilian said in a hoarse voice. "Can you listen to what your son has to say?"Andy exhaled loudly and sat down, slumping back against the sofa.Nicholas and Natalie had gone home and Grandpa Jerome went straight to his room, not saying anything to Andy or Leon at all.However, the look in the old man's eyes clearly implied great anger and the three of them felt afraid."I just wanted to test Nathalie," Leon said. "I'm suspicious of her. We know that Nicholas has been ask

    "Welcome!"Grandpa Jerome entered the Grand mansion with his eyes alert, examining his surroundings.He had opposed Nicholas when his grandson said he wanted to buy his own house and live separately from him.Nicholas had lived with him after his mother passed away and because of the trouble Andy had caused, Nicholas had become very close to him.Grandpa Jerome was worried that Nicholas would have difficulty living alone.However, Nicholas insisted that he could take care of himself. Finally, Grandpa Jerome allowed him, on the condition that Madam Olla, Mr. Quentin, and Lyle must accompany him to the newly purchased mansion.Those three people were the ones Grandpa Jerome trusted the most to accompany Nicholas. His worries lessened when he knew they were with his grandson.At that time, there was a little problem because Leon had just been confirmed as the CEO of Grand Enterprise and Nicholas as the CEO of The Grand Care Hospital.

    "Can't we put an extra bed in that room?" Nathalie asked hesitantly. "The room is very spacious."Nicholas raised an eyebrow. "No need. Grandpa will get suspicious. I'll just sleep on the couch, it's not a problem.""No!" Nathalie denied quickly. "I'll sleep on the couch. I'm a guest in this house and I should--""You must be kidding me," Nicholas interrupted, flicking Nathalie's forehead lightly."Ouch!" Nathalie complained, rubbing her forehead. It didn't hurt, but she was surprised. "Why did you flick my forehead?""Because you're being unreasonable," Nicholas said, rubbing Nathalie's forehead. "How could I let you sleep on the couch? Besides, you're not a guest! You're part of this house!"Nathalie smiled shyly and pinched the tip of Nicholas' nose. "You're so cute. But, we still can't sleep in the same room," she said with a serious expression."Why?" Nicholas asked with a frown. "We're getting married soon, according to th

    "Nate, don't talk back to me!" Nicholas said angrily. "Get in bed now!"Nathalie pulled the covers higher up her chest and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.Nicholas shook his head and sighed. He and Nathalie couldn't agree on sleeping and there was no way they were going to add a mattress to the room.Finally, after dinner, Nicholas went to take a shower and when he finished, Nathalie had already put the covers on the couch and was ready to go to bed."I'll sleep here," Nathalie said. "You'll be in bed.""No," Nicholas said. "That's not right. Get in bed, I'll be here.""No," Nathalie said stubbornly. "The couch is too small for you. You'll be hunched over here. But I'm smaller and this is enough for me."Really, Nicholas didn't understand how a woman as small as Nathalie could be so stubborn.He remembered when he was in college, Nathalie was not at all afraid of the fact that he refused to work in a group with her an

    "Try them on!"Nicholas stared at the two shirts that were still intact in the box. Grandpa Jerome had bought them for him."Grandpa, why did you buy me these shirts?" Nicholas asked. "I have a lot of shirts that I've never worn.""Tsk! I've always bought you shirts since you were little," Grandpa Jerome said. He waved his hand. "Come on, try them on. I want to see if the color and size fit you. You're getting bigger now, so I might have gotten the wrong size."Nicholas almost choked on the emotion in his heart. The two shirts in his hands were small things, but they meant a lot to him, because his grandfather had bought them for him."Okay, I'll try them on and show them off to you," Nicholas said, getting up from the sofa to go to the bedroom."Nathalie?" Grandpa Jerome called.Nathalie, who had been silent and just smiled watching the two men in front of her, turned her head in surprise when she heard Grandpa Jerome's call.

    Charles was upset. Several clients complained that the design they ordered did not match what they had conveyed to the design team.According to Charles, several of their complaints that came to the customer service team were too contrived and seemed far-fetched."I don't like sharp corners in all the rooms in my playground. There are many children here. But, the design you made uses a lot of iron frames as a base.""Can't you find a color pantone that matches the other rooms that have been completed first. My work space looks too bright.""I don't like the placement of the cupboard and sink too close together. It makes my room feel cramped."He was tired. This was getting worse. The new designers he recruited were useless. They were just loudmouths but none of their work was done properly.There was one designer who was quite good. He had won awards for best interior designer in several competitions several times, but the designs he made ha

    The lunch was only fun for Nicholas, Nathalie, and Mrs. Keylani.Charles and Gina sat uncomfortably, as if there were nails in the chairs they were sitting on."Mr. Frederick, why didn't you just tell me that you and Nathalie are divorced?" Mrs. Keylani asked in an unamused tone. "At least that would reduce the discomfort between us.""Yes, I'm sorry, Mrs. Keylani," Charles said embarrassedly.Mrs. Keylani turned to look at Gina. "And you, ma'am, didn't have to be so rude to tell me. I'm sure Nathalie wouldn't think of going back to your husband. She's with a Grand!"Gina pouted, but Charles nudged her leg under the table and Gina quickly lowered her head and apologized softly.Mrs. Keylani ignored them after that and was only busy talking to Nicholas and Nathalie."I was friends with her late mother, since Nicholas and my daughter, Marilyn, were born in the same hospital and almost got mixed up," said Mrs. Keylani."However, s

    "It's so nice to see you again, Nathalie," Mrs. Keylani said. She looked at Nathalie from head to toe and back to her face. "You're getting more beautiful and glowing.""Thank you," Nathalie said. "You also look healthy and fresh.""There's a job that makes me excited, after my husband passed away," Mrs. Keylani said cheerfully."Ah, my condolences on your husband's passing," Nathalie said."Tsk, that was almost two years ago," Mrs. Keylani said with a laugh. She moved closer to Nathalie and whispered, "Being single is quite fun, especially if you have a large inheritance."Nathalie laughed. "As long as you're healthy and happy, Ma'am.""I was so happy when I found out that you would also come to supervise the work. I remember, when you supervised my first resort, you were so meticulous and detailed, so that when everything was finished, I was very satisfied with the results and even before my husband died, he kept saying that he wanted you

    "Nicholas? Honey?"Nicholas turned his head, diverting his attention from the trunk he was about to close. "Yes, baby?"Nathalie pointed at the villa in front of her. "Are we really going to stay here?""Hm, yes," Nicholas said. He approached Nathalie while dragging two suitcases, his and hers. "Why? Do you think the place is not big enough? Not comfortable enough? I'll ask for a more--"Nathalie stood on tiptoe and kissed Nicholas, to silence him. "Sshhh...."Nicholas smiled and kissed Nathalie back. "Shall we try the bed right away?"Nathalie laughed. "Young Master Grand, my pervert love man, I mean, this is a very nice and big villa. We can even bring four or five more people here and it still feels spacious."Nicholas laughed. He moved closer to Nathalie. "Isn't that great? We can try every corner freely."Nathalie glanced and laughed at Nicholas' flirtatious words. She grabbed one of the suitcases from Nicholas' hand.

    "Oh, I hate my body," Gina said, staring at herself in the mirror behind her."Tch, your body is fine," Marla said in an annoyed tone. "You're just pregnant and bear it, don't complain too much. Charles won't like it. He'll think you don't want to have his child!""I'm going on a strict diet after I give birth," Gina said, rubbing her stomach. "Oh, but this is a really pretty beach dress.""I really can't come?" Marla asked. She sighed, envious of her daughter's youthfulness. Even with her pregnant and growing body, Gina still looked beautiful in the beach dress Charles had just bought her, a set with a bikini."Don't be ridiculous, Mom," Gina said. "This is my first vacation with Charles, of course you can't come."Gina was very enthusiastic about preparing for this vacation to the Maldives.

    Charles was happy because Nathalie accepted his offer of cooperation.He did not delay long and immediately made a cooperation contract. Nathalie is a freelance design staff for Mrs. Keylani's current resort project.At first Charles was a bit annoyed because the price Nathalie asked for was very high, but he was satisfied seeing the initial design sketch given by Nathalie and was willing to pay according to Nathalie's request."Make sure all the details are the same and don't miss anything. This is my late husband's request," said Mrs. Keylani for the umpteenth time. "Please supervise the workers so that there are no mistakes or shortcomings.""Of course, Mrs. Keylani. We will try our best to realize the same resort as before, to fulfill your late husband's wishes," replied Charles."Ah, and if possible, I also want to meet your wife again, Mr. Frederick.

    "You're going to take three days off and just leave the company?" Andy snapped in a high tone."I'm not just leaving the company," Nicholas retorted with furrowed brows. "Why do you use such a negative-sounding term?"Andy snorted. "You're irresponsible, Nicholas! You still have a lot of work to do and your three months are almost over. Are you going to leave so much burden for Leon when he comes back?"Nicholas slammed the table hard. His eyes shone very sharply and his lips formed a sarcastic smile."I'm irresponsible? Are you seriously saying that? Are you blind? In these two months, how many projects can I break through? How many pending jobs can I complete? Do I need to take the company's profit chart from the finance department? Or a record of how many new projects came in in the two months when I was CEO, compared to what your other son had produced?"Nicholas' words were very calm, but sharp and piercing. He stared straight into Andy's eyes without blinking."I don't understan

    "Who?"Nathalie's eyes widened.She was finishing checking some new designs her staff had made when the phone on her desk rang and the receptionist told her that a man named Charles Frederick wanted to see her."He said his name was Charles Frederick, ma'am. He said he wanted to talk about a joint project."Nathalie didn't know what Charles wanted, but it must have been important enough for him to come to what was clearly a rival company."Tell him to wait in the main living room," Nathalie said. "Ah, Katty?""Yes, ma'am?" Katty said."Turn on the AC to maximum, and all the lights on our display boards," Nathalie said."Yes, ma'am, I will," Katty said."Call me back in half an hour after he sits down," Nathalie added.After hanging up, Nathalie picked up her phone and sent a message to Nicholas."Charles came here and said he wanted to meet to discuss a joint project."Nicholas' reply came about three minutes later."I'm leading a meeting, can't call you.

    "So far, in two months, Nicholas has completed four pending project tenders and secured two major projects that previously did not even include us as tender participants," said Mario Marwin."You're right," responded Lorenzo Urbin. "Have you checked the development graph of The Grand Enterprise last month? After previously there was a fairly large decline in numbers, at the beginning of last month the line had registered and at the beginning of this month the line actually went up.""Gentlemen, it crossed my mind some time ago, when observing the development of our shares, could it be that we have chosen the wrong person all this time?" said Abner Jhonson carefully.Lorenzo and Mario exchanged glances. Each was struggling with their thoughts. Questioning again what Abner had said."I've thought about that too," said Lorenzo somewhat embarrassedly.

    "Are you busy?" Nicholas asked. He had just finished taking a shower, shirtless, wearing only pajama pants, and his hair was half wet.Nathalie looked up, looking away from the laptop. Her eyebrows furrowed."Why don't you dry your hair?" Nathalie asked as she took the towel draped over Nicholas' shoulder. "This is a bad habit. It can make you catch a cold quickly."Nathalie led Nicholas to the chair she had been sitting in and she stood behind him, wiping his hair with the towel."I'm revising some sketches," Nathalie said. "There are materials that are hard to get lately, because of the shortage in the wood market, so I have to find alternative materials."Nicholas looked up and looked at Nathalie whose face looked tired."Don't push yourself too hard, baby," Nicholas said. "You should start training some of your trusted staff to do the more complicated tasks, so they don't have to rely on you all the time.""Yeah, I'm doing that too, honey," Nathalie said, leaning down and kissing
