The food on the tray cooled, its aroma fading.
After half an hour, 1 presented both the original and my translation to Marcelo.
“I’m done translating it.”
Marcelo can with a grunt,motioning for me to set it aside.
He seemed uninterested in reading it immediately.
I stared at him for a moment and then asked, tentatively. “You’re investigating Venus Bar?Why?Are you interested in owning it?”
Attempts had been made to own Venus Bar over the years. Afterall it was the most successful bar in the country and who wouldn’t want to own a bar frequented by the elites.
“I owe you a wedding gift.“He lifted up h

My lips parted in shock

I wonder how he’d feel to know that the bar is already mine
It was actually laughable.
He wanted to gift me something I already own?
Marcio’s unexpected proposition to acquire Venus Bar seemed like a veiled challenge.
Mr King Surely, you must be joking.I really have no interest in bars and you don’t need to give me a wedding gift.“I responded with a feigned smile. “I think you look clever enough to manage it.”

I have to stop him
“I still think there’s no need to give me anything. Afterall didn’t give you a gift too..”
“You can still give me something.“He cut in.
Give him something?
What could I possibly give lam?
He remained undeterred and continued. “You haven’t given me a gift so please do
I frowned.
Since when did we get so close as giving each other gifts.

“Once Venus Bar is yours. You’ll have plenty of money,”
I was at a loss for words.
Why was he so determined to suddenly make me rich?
Was it because of how he witnessed the Hudson treatment of me?
I was already set on building a name for myself and I didn’t need his help of the Hudsons.
Wanting to end this conversation, I remarked.
“Alright then, you can get the bar if you want reach the owner. “I left the study calmly.
*MARCELO
I stared at Renee as she left my study.
I had detected a blend of discomfort and resistance in her demeanor.
It seemed like we were engaged in an unspoken contest,with Renee confident that I would never find out the owner of the bar.
I chuckled.
She might be smart but her smartness couldn’t be compared to mine

In my room I
I sat on the bed still thinking about earlier.
Marcelo’s motives seemed suspicious.
It didn’t seem as if he just merely wanted to give me something like that..
All I wanted was to earn money peacefully enjoy my life and steer clear of financial entanglements with the high society.
“Real and fale heiresses face off at the event
The post included a caption:“The graceful Renee”
“I was at the event and I can say Renee Hudson is a great woman Catherine Hudson doesn’t come close.”
“And to think Renee is the fake heiress. It only shows that Catherine was spoilt rotten and all she knows how to do is party So talentless,”
Catherine was dismayed to find that several affluent heirs she followed on Twitter were ridiculing her.
She had everything She had a good family name.
