Nathalie PoV

"Nicholas," I called, before he entered the bathroom. "Are you serious?"

"Hm? About what?" Nicholas asked, turning around again, not opening the bathroom door.

"About the dowry," I said with embarrassment.

Nicholas smiled and nodded. "Of course. I never play around when it comes to people I consider important."

I think I blushed, hearing him emphasize the word important.

"But that's too much," I said. "Our marriage contract is only one year and you give me a Porsche as a dowry?"

"No," Nicholas replied. "It's worth it. For you, it's worth it."

I stared at him, not sure how to deny or answer him anymore.

It seemed like Nicholas saw my confusion. He walked closer to me again and lifted my body, surprising me.

In order not to fall, I was forced to wrap both of my legs around his waist. He smirked and held my body by hugging my butt.

If I look in the mirror right now, I must look like a koala hugging a large eucalyptus tree.

He leaned over and landed his lips on mine. I was su

    "I forgot about this," Charles muttered as he stared at the white envelope in his hand.Suddenly something felt like it was pressing on his chest, making him feel short of breath.Cynthia stared at her boss with annoyance that she didn't try to hide at all.Ever since she found out that Charles was having an affair with a woman who was completely unmatched by Nathalie, then they even got divorced, she lost all respect for Charles.She had even written her resignation letter and would submit it at any time, if the company's condition remained the same as it was now.She wanted to apply for a job at Nathalie's company. In fact, she actually wanted to be Nathalie's personal assistant."I'm sure Ms. Nathalie's reaction when she received the letter was very different from your reaction now," Cynthia said.Charles stared at his secretary with a frown.

    Gina PoVMy mom said, I should try to persuade Charles again to make up and if he still acts annoying, then I should pretend to leave and leave him."But, what if he doesn't care?" I asked worriedly. "I don't know what happened, but I'm worried he'll go back to his ex-wife.""That's impossible. Do you think his ex-wife is stupid? When I attacked her and her father in the hospital, there was a very handsome and dashing man who defended her," my mom said with a sour face."I'm very sure, that man is also very rich, much richer than Charles. I heard, he is the owner of the hospital.""That man, Charles' ex-wife's boyfriend?" I asked a little jealously. Why is that woman so lucky? She and Charles divorced, she ended up with a man who is more handsome and rich than Charles."I guess so. He is very protective and he was even the one who sent me to prison," my mom said. "That woman is smart and Charles is just a stupid narcissistic man.""Mom, he's going to be my husband," I said, protesting

    "No, George, it doesn't have to be that many," Nicholas said. "Just limit it to the people who are important."George sighed. "The thing is, sir, for the sake of you and the business, we also have to invite business partners, clients, suppliers, investors," George read his notes. "Not to mention grandfather Jerome's guess, Mr. Andy and Mrs. Lilian's side, and Ms. Nathalie's side, that also needs to be counted, right?""Gosh," Nicholas massaged his forehead. "Can't Nathalie and I just get married together? Just count five or six people, with Nathalie's grandfather and father, you, and a priest to bless it.""Oh, you'll invite me too if the wedding is that small?" George asked happily."Of course," Nicholas snorted. "Otherwise, who's going to prepare everything there?"George sighed again, this time longer than before. "Five or six people, that's not possible, sir. Let's just go back to the original plan.""Uh, this is so troublesome," Nicholas mumbled. "I think you should also discuss

    "Why did you just come now?" Andy asked, annoyed."I'm busy," Nicholas said lightly. "I also have work at the hospital, in case you forgot.""Tsk!" Andy said in a mocking tone. "You shouldn't act so casually, while holding this position. If your performance is bad, Leon will suffer the consequences. He will be the one to take back his position and there's no way he'll be asked to clean up all the problems you left behind!"Nicholas had prepared himself for this, but still, everything could not get used to it, because every time he always felt his anger overflowing and he had to hold it back very hard."If you consider the defense ministry project a problem, then I'd better cancel it and let Leon pay the penalty. How about that?" Nicholas asked calmly.Andy was surprised by Nicholas' words and deep down he also felt wrong for being unnecessarily harsh on Nicholas"Don't be too proud of that one project," Andy snapped coldly.

    Nicholas, that's crazy," Lilian said in annoyance. "What kind of wedding are you going to have, spending four billion?""Why? Did I ask you for money?" Nicholas asked calmly. "This is my wedding, with the woman I love, using my own money. Where's the problem?"Lilian's face turned red hearing Nicholas' words. She felt like she had been slapped. The problem was, how could Nicholas have that much money. If he could spend that much money to get married, that meant he had a much larger fortune, right?Harriet clenched her fists tightly until her knuckles turned white. How could Nicholas prepare a wedding for a woman like Nathalie with such an expensive cost?"You need to know, Mr. Abby, Mrs. Abby, and Harriet," Nicholas continued with a smile still on his lips. "Four billion is not the total cost. There are still some things that have not been paid by my assistant, and I don't think the total amount can be calculated yet. Isn't that right, George?"George smiled and nodded. "Yes, that's r

    "What are you doing, Nathalie?" Nicholas asked angrily. "Why do you keep looking this way?"Nathalie's face flushed, when Nicholas pointed at his middle part. She thought about Harriet's previous statement, which said that Nicholas was sterile.After arriving home and entering the room, Nathalie and Nicholas sat on the bed with a laptop on each of their laps."You must be wondering about Harriet's statement?" Nicholas said. "She kept saying that I was sterile, right?""She said that Leon told her about it," Nathalie said. "But, is it true?""I guess, that needs proof, right?" Nicholas said. "When I had the accident, the doctor said that there was a problem with my testicles because of the impact. He even said that I might be impotent too.""Impotent? But that's not true. At that time we--"Nathalie stopped her words. She covered her mouth with a bright red face, then quickly looked down.Nicholas smirked and moved his face closer to Nathalie.

    Nicholas looked very relieved when the results of Grandpa Jerome's general check-up showed good results. At least, for someone of Grandpa Jerome's age, he could still be considered healthy."Please pay more attention to his diet and rest patterns," said Doctor August. "Don't let his diet and rest patterns be careless because you think he's healthy.""Yes, Doctor, I will pay more attention to him from now on," said Nicholas.He turned to Grandpa Jerome. "Stop snacking after dinner, and stop drinking coffee that is too strong and sweet!"Grandpa Jerome looked away with a pout, making Nathalie smile when she saw him.After Doctor August left the room, Nicholas sat beside Nathalie and took Grandpa Jerome's hand."Don't be too careless with yourself, Grandpa," Nicholas said lightly. "I don't want to lose you yet!"Grandpa Jerome pressed Nicholas' thumb. "I also don't want to leave before seeing Nathalie give birth to my great-grandson and give him the name Grand after the name you gave him

    "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.

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. "If we had chosen Nicholas from the start, perhaps the benefits we would have gained would have been enormous."Mario nodded, agreeing with

    "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

    "Lilian used to be my father's secretary. She was a distant cousin of grandpa Jerome and because her family was poor, but she was kind and diligent, my grandmother made her my father's secretary," Nicholas said while rolling spaghetti on his plate. "She started working not long after my grandfather appointed my father as his successor at The Grand Enterprise.""She said, you will never be able to become the leader of The Grand because that position belongs to Leon," Nathalie said. "I got goosebumps when I saw her face, when she said that. She was so determined that I think she was capable of killing anyone who tried to disturb Leon."Nicholas' face was gloomy. He didn't like to talk about his family, because he himself had never felt comfortable with the real situation there.Other people saw the Grand family as a symbol of unlimited wealth and power, success and glory, but inside, it was not that grand."When I was born, Leon was already four years old," Nicholas said.

    Lilian PoVI started to feel restless, every time I heard my husband talking about Nicholas.Two days ago, Andy said that Nicholas won a tender from a South Korean electronics company that would build two branches here and they would use The Grand Enterprise as their construction partner."Leon, why does it seem so easy for Nicholas to win big tenders?" Andy asked, while we were at the dining table.Leon's spoon and fork stopped moving. I looked up and saw that he had turned a little pale, while Andy continued to eat calmly. To me, it was a dangerous calm."The tender didn't even exist when I took office, dad," Leon answered after a while. "It was just a coincidence, the tender took place when Nicholas filled my position."I felt relieved to hear Leon's answer. At least he didn't keep quiet when his father criticized or criticized him."Then what about the other old projects?" Andy asked again.
