The Destiny
The Beginning

"What's my advantage in helping you?" The man was busy drinking his cocktail.

"Everything you want me to do" the man's eyes showed that he desperately needed help from the CEO of TNP Group.

"All?" Raymond - the CEO looked at Rionardo who was pleading with him.

"Yes Ray" Rionardo said in a quivering tone.

"How dare you call Mr. Raymond by name alone, who do you think you are?!!" Said a 30-year-old man, he's Raymond Yohan's personal assistant.

"Sttts. Let it go, after all he's my old high school friend, right Rio-nar-do?" Ray said that with a tone full of emphasis on each tribe he said.

"I'm sorry Mr. Raymond"

Hearing the apology from Rio, Ray laughed loosely, he felt satisfied because only with such words was able to make someone so afraid of him.

"Sorry sir, so— can you help my family's department store?" Ask Rionardo carefully.

"Helping a small company like that isn't hard for me, but I'm not a helpful person"

Rionardo knelt down before Ray, he put his palms together and begged Ray to help him.

"I beg sir, I—"

"Sister Rio!" A girl in her evening dress forced her way into the VVIP club room.

"Rachel?! What are you doing here?" Rio who was still kneeling before Ray, looked at his younger brother with a questionable look.

Several men with large bodies ran from behind Rachel.

"Sorry for your inconvenience, Mr. Ray, we'll take this woman away from here"

They pull Rachel's arm, forcing the girl out of the room.

"Let go! I told you, here is my brother! Off!"

"Let him go" Ray's voice instructed the men, they removed Rachel's arm and walked out of the VVIP room.

When the door of the room was closed again, it looked Rachel who smiled satisfied to get a defense from a Ray.

"Mr Raymond, my introduction is Rachel, I'm the younger sister of Rio's sister" Rachel said, introducing herself as she walked closer to Ray.

Ray frowned, then smiled obliquely looking at the girl.

"He's your brother?" Ray asked Rio who was still faithfully kneeling to him.

"Right sir, he's my younger brother" Rio replied.

"Then— I will try to help your family company. But, on condition" Ray smiled cynically at Rachel.

"I want her to be my woman, you know what I mean, right, Rio?" Ray asked sarcastically.

Rio looked at Ray in disbelief, to be honest he wanted to refuse straight away but thinking about the condition of his family store department now made Rio could only be silent, unable to speak.

"What if I become your wife?" Rachel's words made the entire room go silent for a moment. However, in the next second, there was the sound of laughter and a condescending smile from Ray.

"You think you're something valuable?! how dare you speak like that to master Ray!" Yohan said, looking at Rachel intently.

"Don't underestimate me Yohan's assistant" Rachel said in a confident tone.

"At least I can erase this rumor between you and your assistant." Rachel said as she sat next to Ray.

Seeing the attitude of Rachel who for Yohan had crossed the line, the man felt eager to pull Rachel and slap her, because he had dared to touch the face of his master who was so precious. But unfortunately, he had to undo it when he saw Ray who gave him the code to remain silent.

"What rumors?" Ray's voice broke the silence that happened for a moment.

"Gay" That one word made Ray choke while he was drinking his cocktail.

"Where did you get that word?" Ray looked at Rachel sharply.

"Do you not know Mr Ray? The media is currently excited by the discussion of your problem and Yohan's assistant"

"Yohan! Is that true?" Ray asked, directly to his assistant.

"I'm sorry sir. What this woman said is true. The stock problem that had decreased at that time was also because of this."

Good, if she still attaches importance to her reputation, I will take advantage of this opportunity to my advantage - Rachel said in her heart.

"Do you believe now, sir?" Ask Rachel.

"But sir, it's not a big deal because we can still handle it." Yohan said, the man did not expect that his master would be deceived by this little trick of the crafty woman.

"Not a big thing you said? Assistant Yohan has never heard of the law of public sentiment huh? When the public knows it, and then the public starts to believe it, are you sure there won't be any major problems if your important business relations abroad hear about it?" With full shrewdness in words, Rachel was able to make Yohan's assistant speechless.

She is not just a female fox but a long-nose witch - the inner Yohan who is whipping is upset at the woman.

"Ck. You are pretty sneaky, miss. Stand up Rionardo, I agree with your brother's advice." Ray said with a cynical smile at Rachel.

"Sir, please think again, it's just gossip, even if the foreign business relations hear it we just need to explain the truth." Yohan keeps trying to keep Ray from being affected by the little witch.

"Assistant Yohan, this kind of gossip will only disappear if master Ray marries a woman, right, master Ray?" Rachel still stubbornly won't budge from Yohan.

"You just need to have a lover to shut down the rumor master, there's no need to marry this woman" Rachel grieved to hear Yohan who continued to block her path to glory.

"Dear Lord Raymond, what would the public believe if you only had a lover? It was not a powerful weapon to cover up this kind of gossip. The public will only think it's a mere setting" said Rachel.

This woman really reminds me of a witch who now lives in my house, very low and disgusting, all the way she does for personal gain

"You heard Yohan? This woman's mouth always seems right." Said Ray who then moved from his seat, he was about to step out of the room.

Rio who still has not got clarity on whether Ray wants to help him or not, immediately moves and stands before Ray.

"Sir Raymond, would you please tell me if you're willing to help my family's company or not?"

"Yohan!"

"Yes sir?" Reply Yohan.

"Make TNP Group the main investor in the family company and take care of the agreement documents containing the terms."

"Good sir"

"Thank you, Ray." Said Rionardo and Rachel together.

"Listen, little fox, I will marry you and you will get the title of wife of the CEO of TNP Group, but that doesn't mean you can act as you please, because you're just my puppet. Your only job is to pretend to be a good wife to cover up bad gossip about me. So, never expect more than that." Said Ray. After that, he stepped out of the room.
