Trapped by One Night's Mistakes
Chapter 30

After exiting Steven's room, Prince intends to return to his room but Rafael stops his steps.

"Why do you always grab something that should be my achievement?" Sergey Rafael.

"Your achievements? Ever since I came here, I've never really seen your work, Rafael Surendra."

"You stole it from me! You know my dad trusts you so much, that's why you deliberately licked my Papa!" Rafael, who did not accept the Prince's words, accused the man at will.

"Before you speak, think carefully! This company belongs to your father, and also yours. All the achievements that I have achieved to this day, they are all yours. You'd better take the time to study with me, to get better and make your dad proud. You have to change your attitude if you want to be considered by everyone, you have to make everyone see your abilities!" Prince's words are sincere. But Rafael was actually upset to hear the words of his subordinates.

"Don't lecture me!" Rafael's snap won't take it.

"You won't make it if you just use emotions instead of thoughts."

"I told you, don't lecture me, you son of a bitch!" Rafael grips the collar of Prince's shirt. His yelling sound was a success making Steven and all the employees ran up to them.

"If you still don't want to think and don't want to hear like this, don't expect you to make everyone proud of you. You will forever be underestimated!"

Rafael fell silent, he was completely stunned to hear all that.

"Raphel! Release Prince!" Pinta Steven is firm. And Rafael immediately took off the clutches of his hands from the collar of Prince's shirt. "Now you're coming to my room!" Tell Steven. Prince and Rafael.

Inside his room, Steven was asking Prince and Rafael for an explanation regarding the commotion they created earlier.

"What are you guys doing? As the Emperor's higher-ups, you should have maintained your attitude."

"I'm sorry, sir." Prince is not feeling well. While Rafael just silently flinch.

"Raf, Papa knows this must be you, right?" Accuse Steven.

"Yes, it's all me because I don't like Papa belittling me and always praising Prince!" Reply Rafael.

"And Papa underestimated me because I deserve to be underestimated, right?" And Rafael was full of emotion. This time he could not hold back his anger and jealousy anymore because the Papa was more proud of the Prince.

"It's not so, Raf!" Denying Steven.

"Then what? How can I boast of Papa if I have never been given the chance to show my abilities? Prince always steals projects from me." Rafael.

"Actually all projects are yours, I'm just helping you work on them. Or do you want to do everything yourself?" Ask Prince. Rafael fell silent, realizing that he would not be able to do all the projects on his own without the help of Prince, because indeed he did not understand too much in the business world.

"Alright, Raf! Stop being jealous of Prince! You better start working together now to help Papa run this company." Pinta Stevens.

Rafael did not answer, he stood up and was about to leave, but Steven held him back.

"Papa wants you to make up!"

Prince held out his hand before Rafael, but the stubborn man did not respond.

"Raphel!" Jerky Steven.

"Cckk ...." Rafael shook Prince's hand with great force. And hurried away from Steven's room.

Steven breathed out violently. "I hope you're not offended by Rafael's words and attitude."

"Why? You're afraid I'm resigning?"

"I'm saying this because I'm worried about you." Steven Sahut.

"Don't worry, sir. As long as I haven't achieved what I promised. I'm not going to run away anywhere." Reply Prince.

Steven smiled at the Prince's words, he recalled two years ago he asked Prince to join Emperor to help Rafael so he was ready to be Steven's successor. He deliberately belittles Rafael and praises Prince before him, solely to make his son envious and attempt to defeat Prince. But unfortunately, until this moment his plan has not succeeded, it turns out Rafael is more stubborn than he imagined.
