Could it be... Could it be that Samuel was the mysterious figure who booked the entire Crystal Restaurant?Yvonne had a stupefied look at that point too. Crystal Restaurant, on the top floor, had been booked by someone half a month ago. Even if Linda had a tremendous amount of self-respect, it was impossible for her to hold a party at Crystal Restaurant. "Linda, does this have anything to do with Samuel?" Yvonne thought of only one possibility and her breathing became inexplicably urgent.Linda's brain had lost all cognitive ability. Although she was very much in disbelief, were there any other possibilities aside from that explanation? "Yes Yvonne. Samuel was the one who asked me to bring you here," Linda admitted. An inexplicable feeling of envy surfaced in her heart. If it really was Samuel who prepared that gigantic surprise for Yvonne, would she not become the happiest woman in the entire Cloud City that day?It was then that the elevator reached the top floor. Both women were l
"Don’t you know that they’re all calling you useless?"Don’t you know how uncomfortable I feel after hearing those words?"Samuel held Yvonne tightly in his arms and said softly, "I know."Beside them, Linda was moved to tears. At that juncture, she felt that all the grievances her best friend endured were entirely worth it. Regardless of how Samuel managed to plan everything, at the very least, Yvonne would be happy right then and invoke feelings of jealousy of Cloud City’s women.‘But, why? Why did you have to be the piano prince?’Linda knew that her dream had been completely shattered.This night, rose petals floated throughout Crystal Restaurant the entire night. Compared with the sensational declaration of love two years ago, the only dissatisfaction with the present occasion was that no one managed to find out who the people involved were.That night, when Samuel slept on his floor mattress, Yvonne suddenly asked from the bed, "Are you cold?"It was early summer, and women who s
Hex Capital Nightclub.It was around mid-morning and a few thuggish-looking people were standing at the door, smoking cigarettes and chatting. A place like that was usually closed for business during daylight, but at that moment, an Audi stopped at the entrance.Samuel got out of the car.When they saw Samuel, those thugs stood up one by one."What are you doing? We're not open for business yet," one of them said to Samuel."I'm looking for Johann Lynn," Samuel spoke curtly.Several of those thugs looked at Samuel with a sneer when they heard that. Johann was the boss of Hex Capital and was also the big shot in the underbelly scene of Cloud City. He was certainly not someone who could be asked to meet on a whim."What kind of joke are you? The first thing that comes out of your mouth is you want to see our boss. Some tone you’ve got there.""Don’t you see how many fists we have?"Several of them began to fold their sleeves as if about to start a fistfight."Tell him Samuel is here."
"I’ll deal with you guys later."Johann's words made them tremble with fright, but they could not understand why Samuel could receive such treatment. He was famous for being trash, so why would Brother Johann treat him so politely?Inside Johann's office, Samuel sat on Johann’s seat while the latter stood aside respectfully."I heard that people are trying to stir up trouble with the west side project?" Samuel asked lightly.Johann nodded and said, "I’m aware. Aside from me, there are several other bigwigs who are very concerned about this. They’re probably eyeing to make a fortune."Cloud City was not Johann's domain alone. Although he was one of the big fish within the gray areas, he was not the only one who wielded enormous influence. Aside from him, several others could call the shots around there.Many people were coveting for a share of the spoils from the shadows. If the Sue family had zero connection to the west side project, Johann wanted to get a share too."I’ve given you th
After Peter took a pick of the men and left Hex Capital, he sat inside the car for a long time.Johann had earlier said that he was busy as of late. It was obviously some big move, and with his disinclination to reveal anything, it must surely be a big deal.Peter received the news that there have been many people from the gray areas who wanted to interfere with the west side project. Some even organized a band of workers with the intention to use the identity of a foreman to meddle with it. Johann however, had been silent on that issue.Peter initially thought that Johann was ambitionless and did not want to participate to avoid getting himself hurt, but it now seemed that Johann had other plans.Could it be...Peter was stunned. If Johann really dared to go against all the others and took control of Cloud City’s shady areas, then Johann would be a person worthy of his attention."Looks like I’ll have to establish a good relationship with Johann in the future. If he succeeds, his powe
Yara had been unhappy with Yvonne for a long time, so the materialization of an issue was the perfect opportunity to add insult to injury. She remarked, "Yvonne, you’re the project leader now. It has already been several days and you haven’t resolved it. Are you constantly just wasting time with your best friend in the office?"Linda visited Yvonne often during those few days. After knowing that the piano prince was Samuel, Linda gave up the idea of regarding Samuel as her husband, but the fact remained that she had been thinking about it for days on end and found it hard to let it go. Her only recourse was to go to Yvonne and complain.Upon hearing Yara's words, the old lady raised her eyebrows and asked, "What’s the meaning of this, Yvonne? You’re doing other things during working hours?"Yvonne was very responsible with her work and Linda was also sensible enough not to disturb her during working hours. Yara's words were blatant slander."Grandma, whenever I receive visits from frie
After hearing Harvey's words, the Sue family members looked at him with admiration."Harvey is still the most capable person. He found out who did it so quickly.""Sure enough, things are better with Harvey. Our future will be bleak if we don’t have him in the Sue family.""Yvonne, you’ve got to learn more from Harvey. The west side project has nothing to do with him, but he still cares about it. You have to thank him."The old lady nodded to express her affirmation and said, "Harvey, you’ve done a good job.""Grandma, although I’m not the person in charge of the project, I’m still your grandson. The Sue family's business is my business and there’s no way I can ignore it." Harvey pretended to be humble and said that to the old lady after receiving all that praise."Yvonne, since Harvey already helped you investigate, you can move forward with discussing it. If he asks for money, we can agree to it as long as it’s within one million," the old lady said.Yvonne replied, "Don't worry, Gra
Yvonne rolled her eyes. How was she supposed to be happy when others misunderstood her? She felt suffocated because of it."By the way, there’s a group of people causing lots of trouble to the Sue family recently and are even creating a lot of problems at the construction site. I asked a friend to investigate for me but there were no findings, yet Harvey suddenly pretended to be kind and give us his findings. During the meeting, he said that he found out who did it and I was told to have a discussion with them tomorrow. Do you think there’s something fishy about this?" Yvonne asked, and her instinct told her that there must be a problem with the situation. Harvey was right. Her attitude was fortunate not to harm her, how could it help her.Samuel frowned. He heard about it too and told Johann to find out more. Johann even arrested two people and tortured them for information, but to no avail. The other party obviously did a good job of keeping everything under wraps, so there was no wa
