That very night, Julia and Marcus were sitting together in the room, going over the plans for the school project. Documents were spread across the table as they discussed the construction schedule, materials, workers, and everything else they needed to prepare before the project officially began.
For a moment, Julia’s thoughts drifted toward Cory. She wanted to tell Marcus that she had given Cory the construction deal, but she hesitated. She knew Marcus and Cory did not exactly get along, and she didn’t want to unnecessarily make him angry or create another problem.
Instead, she cleared her throat and said, “Actually, Marcus, I need some security personnel to guard the project. Just in case anything happens p>
Marcus looked at her calmly before nodding.
“Don’t worry about that,” he replied. “I’ll take care of it.” Julia stared at him for a moment before smiling. There was something about Marcus that continued to surprise her.
“Why are you always so calm?” she asked. “No matter what happens, you always seem to have a solution.” Marcus chuckled softly and looked at her.
“I’ll find a solution to any problem you have,” he said confidently. Julia’s heart warmed at his words, and she leaned forward and kissed him gently.
But only a few seconds into the kiss, Julia suddenly felt something strange in her stomach. Her body stiffened, and a wave of nausea suddenly rushed over her.
She immediately pulled away, covering her mouth as she swallowed hard. Marcus noticed the sudden change and frowned. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
Julia shook her head quickly. “Nothing. I’m just tired.” Marcus continued looking at her suspiciously for a moment, but Julia forced a small smile.
Meanwhile, the following night, the restaurant section of the Hera Hotel was filled with wealthy businessmen and influential figures. Cory sat at one of the reserved tables with Matrix and one of their old colleagues, Darren.
The three men were clearly happy to see each other again. Matrix leaned back in his chair with an excited grin. “Wow. I am so hyped up. I can’t wait for Gabriel to come and tell us what this deal is about p>
Darren laughed and nodded. “The profit is huge. And if everything goes well, we might even gain some powerful connections from this.” Cory listened quietly, trying to hide his excitement.
He lowered his gaze and swallowed hard. Twenty million dollars. That was all he could think about.
He just wanted to get it and run away.
Meanwhile, at that exact moment, the door to the private restaurant opened, and Gabriel finally walked inside. The moment they saw him, Matrix, Darren, and Cory immediately stood up from their seats, their expressions brightening.
Gabriel was one of the most influential businessmen among them, and they treated him with obvious

respect. Gabriel smiled when he saw them and walked toward the table.
Wow, nice meeting you all again!” Gabriel said warmly. “Actually, I have missed you all p>
“Of course!” Matrix replied enthusiastically. “It has been quite a while p>
Gabriel laughed and looked around the table. Then he frowned slightly when he noticed that there was no food in front of them.
“Wait. Why haven’t you ordered any food?” he asked.
Matrix immediately called the receptionist and ordered several dishes. Gabriel was known among them for being a big eater, and he had no problem ordering expensive meals whenever he had the opportunity
Within minutes, the table was covered with different dishes. Gabriel happily began eating, enjoying one meal after another while the others watched him.
After he had eaten for a while, Matrix finally leaned closer.
“So, what about this deal you were talking about?” he asked eagerly. “I honestly can’t wait to hear about it p>
Gabriel stopped eating and frowned.
“What deal p>
Matrix’s smile disappeared.
“The deal,” he repeated. “The one you messaged us about p>
Darren immediately nodded. “Exactly. The deal you told us about. You said there was a twenty-million- dollar profit for each of us p>
Cory also joined the conversation. “Yes. The one with the twenty million dollars p>
Gabriel stared at them for several seconds before scoffing. “I don’t know what you’re talking about p>
Everyone froze.
Gabriel continued eating as though nothing unusual had happened. “I didn’t message any of you. Not one of you. Darren was the one who contacted me and said we should meet here today because there was something important to discuss p>
The three men exchanged confused looks.
Darren immediately pulled out his phone and showed them the message.
“Look! This is the message I received p>
Gabriel glanced at the screen and immediately shook his head. “That isn’t my phone number. I don’t know who the hell that is p>
Cory’s expression became even more serious.

“Hmm. But you even called me p>
Gabriel looked at him. “I called you p>
“Yes,” Cory replied. “You called me yesterday and personally invited me p>
Darren quickly shook his head.
“I swear I don’t know anything about that. I didn’t call you! I don’t even have your number anymore”
Silence filled the table.
None of them knew what to say.
Then suddenly, an announcement echoed throughout the restaurant.
“Attention, everyone. We sincerely apologize, but due to an unexpected emergency, this restaurant section must be evacuated immediately. We ask all guests to leave the area at once p>
The announcement was followed by another apology from the management. They explained that every customer would receive a full refund and that all food already ordered would be completely free.
The guests immediately began grumbling.
“What kind of emergency is this p>
“Seriously p>
Despite their complaints, the staff continued urging everyone to leave. Whatever was happening, the management clearly considered it urgent.
Gabriel sighed as he stood up.
“This is crazy. What could possibly be happening p>
He looked down at the enormous amount of food on the table. “Well, at least I got to eat for free p>
Matrix and Cory barely reacted. Their minds were still occupied by the same question. Who had sent those messages?
As everyone began leaving the restaurant, Gabriel turned toward the exit. But before he could take another step, the manager suddenly rushed toward them.
“Mr. Gabriel, please wait p>
Gabriel stopped and looked at him.
The manager glanced at the four men and said, “You four can stay. The person coming is one of our VIP guests, and he specifically requested to speak with all of you p>
The four men stared at one another in confusion.
None of them had any idea who was coming.
