Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 20|Dealing with People
I was thorough in selecting the person who became my right-hand man. Bruce's background, family, and education were impeccable. I was pleased to trust my company in his hand for ten years. It turned out that sitting on top for too long made him tempted to become more. He didn't own the company even though his name was used as the name of the CEO and founder. The idea, the money, and the company system were all mine. And he knew that. Perhaps he also knew my first assistant betrayed me and wasn't punished severely. He was wrong if he thought he would be as lucky as that man. I warned him before he signed the contract. I wouldn't forgive a traitor. Maybe he thought I was only giving empty threats. He knew then I was deadly serious. "Who told you to do this?" I asked without taking my eyes off him. He lowered his head and swallowed heavily. "Farrell Haworth." "Can you prove that answer?" I couldn't just believe him. He could be slandering Farrell. He took out his cell phone, was bus
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 21|Your Money, Your Rules
Harold widened his eyes. Seriously. He didn't think that far ahead? The stolen money must have been huge for him to fire Camari without a second thought. How could he just let go and not find out the real thief?I couldn't believe he was confident enough that Camari was the culprit that he wouldn't investigate further. Didn't he have the slightest doubt about the oddity of the incident? The money was safe if Camari was the culprit. What if she wasn't the thief?"I'll investigate immediately. But no matter what, I can't hire Camari back. Please don't share the footage with anyone," he pleaded. He glanced at the tablet in front of Jasper."Issue an official statement in front of all your employees regarding the investigation results. I want Miss Gastrell's reputation restored from any slander. If you fail to do this within seventy-two hours, I'll distribute the video," I threatened."That's too soon. I need more time than that," Harold coaxed."The longer you delay, the more Miss Gastre

[Camari] Luckily, we chose a spot in the corner of the bar. We could see the whole club, but they couldn't see us from where they sat. I came here to enjoy the night with my new best friend, not to make a scene. Wait a minute. Why should I feel this way? I had the right to be wherever I wanted without feeling intimidated by their presence. After all, they and I had nothing to do with each other anymore. We were strangers. "This is the first time you've asked me to come to a place like this." Jasmine meaningfully looked at me. "Usually, you only want to have dinner at restaurants or cafes." "We couldn't drink on weekdays. We could get fired if we get the books wrong the next day." I defended myself. "Right. And on the weekends, you're always out of town visiting your parents or dating Farrell," she teased again. I chuckled at the memory. "I'm their only child. So, I've felt obligated to take care of them for as long as they've been around." That habit stopped when I married Farre
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 23|Annoying Incident
Jasmine and I exchanged glances. The car did not exceed the speed limit. My best friend obeyed the traffic lights as we passed through the intersection. Were any of the car's lights not working? However, Jasmine made sure she checked all the lights this morning."In that case, we don't need to panic," I suggested. "It's probably just a periodic check.""I hope it's just a misunderstanding," she whispered.Jasmine pulled the car over. The policeman also stopped behind us. I held the hand of my best friend, who was near the gearshift. She turned her head and smiled at me. The window on her side was tapped, so Jasmine opened it."Good evening, Miss," greeted the policeman kindly. "Please show me your license.""First, may I know the problem, sir?" asked Jasmine."Show me your papers. Only then I can tell you what the problem is," the man insisted. Strange. That wasn't the procedure.Jasmine glanced at me, but she didn't say anything. Obeying the policeman's words, she took out her wallet

In the morning, I started my activity with swimming. Meeting Otis and Jasper was something I enjoyed, especially when they invited me to have breakfast with them. I liked Otis's chef cooking. So, I put my pride aside by having breakfast there every day.Otis and Jasper smiled meaningfully when the food on my plate was gone. Otis invited me to add more to my meal. An offer that, of course, I gladly accepted. They also filled their plates casually."You guys must want to know what happened last night," I guessed. I smiled as they simultaneously looked at me. "Those two cops thought my friend and I were drunk. Not satisfied with their two tests, they wanted to check our bags.""I've saved all the footage proving their arrogance, Miss. Whenever you need it, I'll give it to you. We know you've just come from the club and haven't had any alcohol," Jasper explained, surprising me.How stupid of me. Of course, Jasper knew everything. He knew Farrell had cornered me in an empty room at the hos
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 25|First Appointment
The man triumphantly smiled as he looked at Otis. He crossed his arms over his chest and sat back. The man sitting opposite him looked at us in confusion.I couldn't see my superior's expression because I stood behind him. But I was sure he could handle himself well. This man never showed his emotions whenever faced with a problem. Even when yelled at by his family, he didn't retaliate with anger.“Please forgive us. We entered the wrong room,” Otis explained politely. We looked at him in confusion. “Please continue your conversation. Excuse us.”I turned to Bruce. His face was deathly pale as if he had just seen a ghost. We didn't have the wrong room. I looked back at the arrogant man. What an ignorant man. He must have done this on purpose to embarrass Otis. Did everyone in this world have to be his enemy?The cheating man straightened his seat when he saw me. Focused on mocking Otis with his gaze, he didn't notice I was in the group. But I ignored him and obeyed my superior's order
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 26|Facing Weaknesses
[Otis]Camari accepting my job offer was good news. Unfortunately, she gave me conditions that were difficult for me to fulfill. She was the only person I could trust, so I complied with her request. I couldn't force her to say yes.Isaac had prepared a specific employment contract for Camari at my request. The letter was more detailed than the one Bruce had signed. Although I trusted Camari, I didn't want to be naive. She could have betrayed me like my two previous assistants.“Twenty years in this field is a long time, sir,” Jasper consoled. “I'm sure you can become a respected CEO to your employees. We'll start with one colleague per week until you get used to meeting them face to face.”“If I fail, they'll laugh at me.” My hands were shaking just thinking about it.“What happened in the past won't be repeated, sir. Because I will always accompany you,” he added, reassuring me.I smiled at him. “It must be tiring working for me, doesn't it? I have too many weaknesses and don't show
Fall for the Disowned Billionaire 27|Weird Feelings
In the morning, Camari wasn't swimming as usual. I was doing laps by myself while she was by the pool with Jasper. I was starting to like our morning meetings. Doing activities with someone other than Jasper was fun.I was done swimming, but they were still busy practicing. I covered my body with my robe and sat on one of the chairs. I checked my phone as I waited for them to finish their business.“Thank you for waiting,” Camari cheerfully said. Her face looked very fresh with sweats on her forehead and neck. “Shall we go back now?”“Sure,” I agreed. “You'll have breakfast at our place?”“Is that an invitation?” she asked hopefully.“You can have breakfast with us every morning. You're my assistant. We can discuss things before work,” I suggested.Camari turned to Jasper. “Is he always that passionate with his work?” she whispered but loud enough for me to hear it.“You wouldn't be able to imagine.” Jasper gave her a meaningful look.“Or we could talk about something other than work,
