CHAPTER 618
Conrad is an ambitious and arrogant guy, so if things don't go the way he wants, he starts planning dirty tricks to achieve his goals and he doesn't even consider the Pixoy family.
It was for this very reason that he came up with his plan to create a monopoly within the territory of the Duchy of Cannes despite not being his territory. One has to admit that he is an intelligent person, but his arrogance gets the better of him.
If he was able to carry out his plans, without fearing the Pixoy family within the Duchy of Cannes, he also dared to think that he could dominate Andrew and bring him to the point of agreeing to comply with his demands.
The problem was that he didn't know much about Andrew. The only thing he knew was that he had a good relationship with the Pixoy family, but he didn't know the reason for this friendship, especially since he had appeared in the city out of nowhere.
Despite all the signs, he began to play a game that was dangerous. He gathered several of his closest men who were in charge of his dirty plans and instructed them to look for information about Andrew.
He had already exhausted his resources looking for information about Andrew through normal means, so now he had to be a little more daring. He first tried to get information from the employee who used to work for him.
When he met Andrew, it was thanks to his former employee Ves. While it is true that Ves had quit working with Conrad to apply for a job at the Cannes Palace where the benefits were better, Conrad thought that everyone had a price.
For this reason, he approached Ves through some of his men and tried to convince him to help him find information about Andrew so that he could better understand him in order to manipulate him.
What he never expected was that, despite offering Ves a lot of money, he really failed to convince Ves to help him. Conrad was surprised by the loyalty that Ves showed to Andrew.
The young employee had not been working for Andrew for long, but somehow he was very loyal and Conrad could not understand the reason. In his mind, such a situation should not occur.
In fact, Ves had a greater connection with Conrad than with Andrew, having worked for him longer, so he thought it would be easy, but the reality was that Ves did not even consider helping him.
It was not that Ves had money to spare and it was not that he was not tempted by the benefits offered to him, but, even so, the young man stood firm and did not accept Conrad's offer.
Ves had worked for several years with Conrad and had not been treated badly, but he had not benefited much either. He was just a normal worker that Conrad did not even know until he facilitated the meeting with Conrad.
For this reason, Ves did not see Conrad with good eyes. It was not that he hated him either since he never suffered, but he did not esteem him enough to betray his new employer.
Also, although Conrad did not understand the reason why Ves was so loyal to Andrew, things were simpler than they seemed. Andrew treated all his employees, even the slaves, with respect.
No matter how small the job was, Andrew always greeted them politely whenever he saw them and even talked to them from time to time, which seemed like a minor detail, but for people like Ves, it was different.
When he worked for Conrad, Conrad never knew him or valued him for his work, but in the short time he had been at the Palais de Cannes, he had already spoken to Andrew and his wives on several occasions.
It seems silly, but something as minuscule as a greeting or some encouraging words like "Good job," were more significant than they seemed. Ves felt that he was important and valued within the company and that generated a feeling of loyalty.
Obviously, Andrew's divinity played a role in this change, but it was actually his actions that brought about the change. This got to the point that Ves after rejecting Conrad's offer, communicated this to Andrew.
While Andrew and his wives had spoken to him and encouraged him, this was when they saw him in the hallways, it was not as if Ves could talk to them whenever he wanted, but he was still happy.
Although she couldn't go directly to Andrew or his wives, going to Gaston or others close to Andrew wasn't difficult, since they were in charge of the management of the place.
Ves is a cleaning employee and Carmen is his boss, although she spends more time taking care of Andrew's children than acting as a boss. Despite that, when there was a problem, the employees sought her out.
For this reason, Ves went to Carmen and told her what had happened. Carmen is one of the people close to Andrew who is the least involved in complex matters like these, but she is not ignorant either. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire
For this reason, the moment she heard what Ves was saying, she interrupted him, "Don't say anything else, boy, come with me," Carmen said and began to guide Ves towards the office where Andrew and some of his wives were meeting.
This was the second time Ves came to the office and he was no less nervous than the first time. Carmen didn't even announce herself, she just opened the door and entered as if it were her room.@@novelbin@@
Andrew, Candice, Helena, Gaston, Canna, and Oliver who were discussing something in the office fell silent when they saw Carmen enter. It wasn't that they didn't want her to hear what they were discussing, but they noticed Ves following her.
"Is something wrong?" Andrew immediately asked when he saw them and Carmen nodding answered, "Yes, young master. The boy has something important to tell." Then everyone focused their gaze on Ves.
Ves trembled in fear when he saw how all eyes were focused on him, but he managed to calm down a little after several breaths. Andrew and the others noticed his nervousness and then Andrew wanting him to relax said, "Ves, right?"
Although Andrew only wanted Ves to relax and so spoke with familiarity and calmness, the effect was massive. Ves trembled with pride seeing that Andrew, the big boss knew his name.
Again, this seems like little, but it is actually very significant. Even on Earth, employees feel a bit of pride when the big bosses of the companies they work for recognize them. While this can be both good and bad, Ves didn't think about it, for him it was all about being recognized and that excited him. Taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down.
Andrew wanted to speak again to reassure him, but he saw that the young man had calmed down and didn't say anything. Then Ves began his story. He didn't make anything up, nor did he embellish things to make himself look better.
He was honest and told how Conrad had sent one of his men to convince him to sell information about Andrew. He didn't know the details, but it was obvious that he was targeting Andrew.
Hearing this, Andrew scrutinized Ves with his Eros eyes, to see if she was lying or had some hidden agenda, but what he saw was an aura of sincerity, which made him smile.
Andrew values loyalty more than anything and although Cannes Palace is new, there were already some employees who showed signs of loyalty and Ves was one of the most loyal according to the aura Andrew could see.
