Another chapter will be updated later!
“THE CARD was named after him…” Mina trailed off as her eyes flickered between Bruce, Samantha, and Triana— which all were giving a deadly gaze at her. Mina doesn’t have any characteristics to judge someone based on their appearance. However, as a part of the protocol, and since August was going to buy the most expensive bag, she needed to do a fact check. And with that, she realized that it was impossible for the card to be stolen if it was named after August in the first place. “Impossible!” Bruce exclaimed as Mina’s words made his blood boil. “An ordinary man like him couldn’t even have the right to touch a black card like this!” Without permission, Bruce grabbed the black card from Mina’s hand. He looked at it with frustration, because August had an expensive card like that, and amusement because it was his first time to see such a luxurious card that costs millions of dollars, at least. “Are you sure that it’s his, Mina?” Triana answered back. She crossed her arms and raised
LITTLE DID everyone knows, the Remington Corporation was the major shareholder in this store, and Charles named the shares under August. He could even not pay for the bags if he wanted to. However, Charles gave him a black card that he could spend because of the major improvements he had in his first training. Besides that, he doesn’t want to showcase to everyone about his newly owned company. August dialed his phone and called someone. For August, women like Triana make the world worse— people who base their kindness on someone’s worth were worthless themselves. They were the reason why people try hard to be worthy even though their existence was already worthy from the start. “Hello?” August greeted as the person on the other line answered. His glance flickered on Bruce and Samantha before he spoke. “Are you busy? Can you do a little favor for me?” “Anything for the Remington family, young master,” Zeke, who was currently at a business meeting, responded. “What is it?” Zeke, w
Hello to all! This is not an update. Sorry. Daily updates will resume on January 1, 2023, every 3 pm UTC+8. I have four schedule updates already, so rest assured that the updates will publish at that time. Again, thank you everyone for reading this story and adding this to your library! If you like a fast-paced story with lots of faceslapping (rest assured. I prepared my outline for this, haha) but of course, August's plans would not also happen the way he planned it to be (hmmm!) Anyway, let me give you a sneak peak on the next chapter! “I… I…” Triana wanted to say something, but it seemed like her voice left her throat already. August shook his head, having no plans to talk to Triana anymore. Instead, he looked at Bruce who was already staring at him. “Take good care of your girl, okay?” August said. Mixed emotions of worry and sarcasm were evident in his voice. “Don’t let anyone treat her as a pushover.” HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
“I-I’M SORRY!”Triana suddenly went onto her knees. She rested her palms on her thighs as tears cascaded onto her eyes. This was the first time she did such a thing— kneeling in front of someone and begging for their forgiveness.But she couldn’t afford to lose this job! This is the only achievement she could brag to anyone. If she were fired from her job, what more could she be proud of? Nothing!“I-I’m sorry if I offended you in any way, sir!” Triana pleaded as her hands traveled onto August’s shoes, lightly caressing them. “I promise not to do it again!”Triana’s screams and pleas filled the room. Even Mina was shocked to see what Triana was doing. Never in her life did she see Triana
“YOUNG—”Nicollo, one of August’s people, was about to greet him like how they greet him when they were at home, but suddenly remembered that no one could know about August being another adopted child. So, they couldn’t call him young master.August suddenly shook his head. Nicollo suddenly understood what he wanted to say indirectly. He didn’t continue what he was going to say. Instead, he opened another topic.“The master was looking for you.” Nicollo lied as he cleared his throat. “He personally asked me to fetch you.”He did that because he saw that Bruce Sandoval was looking at their young master intently.‘I couldn’t do something that would place th
MEANWHILE, as Bruce and Samantha went onto the Sandoval mansion, both of them immediately went into the bedroom with grimaces on their faces. Bruce let go of Samantha’s hand, and the latter couldn’t care less. Her mind was wandering on August’s existence and she didn’t even notice it anymore. “Hey, sister-in-law—” Daphne, who just walked onto the living room, waved her hand as she was about to greet Samantha… Only for Samantha to not greet her back, nor even take a glance at her. “Wow…” Daphne parted her lips in shock. When she moved her gaze to Bruce, she saw how his brows were furrowed, too. “You two had a love quarrel, didn't you?!” She added teasing them, but no on
BRUCE NODDED and stood up. Samantha immediately followed him as both of them sat on the bed. Fortunately, there weren't any pieces of glass on the bed since Bruce didn’t throw the vases in that direction.Silence filled their conversation as both of them tried to regain their composure. Bruce, for his uncontrollable anger, and Samantha, for her doubts and fear.“I’ll fucking destroy him and bury him deeper than hell,” Bruce mumbled before he stared intently at his fiance. He clenched his hands afterward. “Until he doesn’t have any pride to show his face anymore.”“Yeah. Let’s do that.” Samantha showed a weak smile as her hands went on Bruce’s, lightly caressing the back of his palm. &ld
“MRS. JOHENS.”“Yes?” Mrs. Johens, who was currently wiping the table as the two customers left for their seats when they finished eating, suddenly stopped what she was doing as she heard someone come."It's me," August answered as the smile never left his lips.He was glad to see Mrs. Johens again as both of them weren't able to see each other for a long time."Who?"Her head turned onto the man who called her, and a gasp escaped her lips, followed by her eyes widening as she saw August standing behind her.“August!”She left her chore, went quickly to the sink to wash her h
