Chapter 6 Manipulating Damian‼

Damian smiled broadly upon hearing Glara's response. "Truly, my dear, I love you very much. You are the only one in my heart."

Glara looked at Damian with an inexplicable gaze. She seemed touched by Damian's words. "Come back to me, and I will make both of you happy after completing my mission."

In a matter of seconds, Glara's expression changed sharply, with a smirk on her face. "Come back to you? Don't expect that, Damian!" Glara's curt remark shattered the hope that Damian had built.

"I truly love you, Glara. I will-"

"What will you do? Stop the drama! You're here not because you still love me, but because now you know who I am, right? What if I were still poor like yesterday? Not to mention coming here, you'd find mentioning my name repulsive, wouldn't you, Damian? So, why are you still here? Go away. Weren't you the one who abandoned us?"

Damian was stunned. For the first time, Glara dared to confront him. Damian never expected Glara to look at him so sharply, as if she were skinning Damian alive. "Get out now!"

"But, Glara, I truly-"

"Leave, or I'll call security!" Glara snapped, pointing at Damian.

The man stood still, standing there quietly, casting a gaze of sadness over Glara's rejection. Glara snorted roughly, reaching for a flat object from her work pants pocket. Delicate fingers typed something on the valuable hundred-dollar device.

Soon, three bodyguards approached Glara and stopped right behind Damian. Without many words, Glara just nodded her head towards Damian. After that, the three men pulled Damian away from Gama's bed. Initially, Damian resisted Glara's bodyguards, but his smaller size and their overwhelming number eventually made Damian give in, and he left the room.

"Glara, I will keep trying to convince you‼" he shouted before Damian's body completely disappeared from Glara's and Gama's view, the latter still cowering in fear.

After the door closed tightly, Glara took a deep breath and moved to embrace her son, who was still trembling in fear because of Damian's visit. Glara hugged him tightly while uttering calming words.

Not long after, Louis arrived with a tall man following behind him. Glara loosened her embrace and welcomed Louis. "Grandpa, why didn't you give notice first?" Glara asked, shaking her grandfather's hand.

Louis just smiled and gently patted Glara's head, as if channeling strength to his only granddaughter. Glara then shifted her gaze to the well-dressed man standing behind Louis. "Ah yes, let me introduce this is Bhuvi, one of our longtime colleagues in our company."

"Bhuvi, let me introduce you to my granddaughter, who is now leading the company," Louis said, patting Bhuvi's shoulder.

Bhuvi nodded and extended his hand, signaling Glara to shake hands. Glara responded with a faint smile. "Glara."

"Bhuvi," he replied succinctly and clearly.

After the brief and awkward introduction, Louis invited Glara and Bhuvi for a serious conversation. He handed a folder to Glara. With a furrowed brow, Glara started reading each page. "So, Glara has to take over this project?" Glara asked after reading the contents of the folder Louis gave her.

"Yes, you are now leading the company, and this charity project needs to be implemented soon. Because a few months ago, grandpa delayed it. So, can you two work together?" Louis asked, looking at Glara and Bhuvi alternately.

Glara glanced at Bhuvi and Louis alternately. Hesitant, Glara finally nodded. "But, I can't work on it this week, Grandpa. Because of Gama...," Glara paused in her words, not daring to continue her reason with someone else in the room.

"It's okay. At least, you can start thinking about the concept first. Right, Bhuvi?" Louis replied, looking at Bhuvi and Gama who was still visibly frightened.

Bhuvi nodded after remaining silent for a moment. "This is Gama, Glara's son. Something happened to him."

"Something?" Bhuvi asked without hesitation.

Louis shrugged, and the sad expressions in both Louis's and Glara's eyes showed sorrow. "His father abused Gama."

Bhuvi nodded sympathetically. He felt sorry for Gama's condition. However, he didn't want to get too involved in Glara's family affairs. They continued their discussion about the concept and the date of the charity project visit.

Time passed quickly. Glara and Bhuvi were still busy with the concept they were going to create, while Louis was busy playing with his granddaughter to alleviate the fear and trauma caused by Damian. They were unaware that the day was getting late. Glara's stomach growled, drawing a small smile from Bhuvi, who had been busy with his laptop.

"Are you hungry?" Bhuvi stopped his activities.

Glara shook her head quickly, trying to divert her embarrassment by reading the documents. Bhuvi smiled again. "You're smart, huh."

Glara turned with furrowed brows upon hearing Bhuvi's words. "Yeah, smart. Reading upside-down documents like that."

Glara immediately closed her eyes and turned her blushing face away from her embarrassing actions. Bhuvi tried to hold back his laughter not to make Glara even more embarrassed.

The man in the light blue shirt with rolled-up sleeves stood up from his position. He grabbed Glara's hand to make her stand up with him. "Let's go."

"Where to?"
