Bab 69: The First Step

They said to keep your friends close and your enemies closer, and that was what Hugo was clearly doing.

He was staring at the calling card in his hands. A day had passed, and he hadn't contacted Julius yet about his offer.

Ding!

He took a quick glance at his phone when he saw an unknown number messaging him.

[Have you decided already about my offer?]

Instantly knowing who it was, the side of his lips slowly rose up.

[I just want to ask, Mr. Julius, if ever I accepted your offer, then what benefits will I get? I know that it sounds off, but I just wanted to know.]

Hugo grinned. He already created a plan in his mind. He just needs to see whether Julius can be of any use to it. It didn't take long before he received another notification, Just like he expected, it was from Julius once again.

[What do you want, then?]

Just like that, his grin became wider.

[Can I stay close to you every time, Sir? I really idolized you and I wanted to see how can I improve and help you.]
