"Mm." Luan nodded nonchalantly.
CEO Marco did not seem to be affected by Luan's indifference. He remained enthusiastic while saying, "CEO Luan, you are a genius. The recipe you passed on to us is a huge success!"
"It is not a big deal," Luan said with the same indifference, "I am here today to pay a visit. Tomorrow morning I return to have a meeting and discuss how we are going to make sure that our company sells more chocolates than the others."
Of course, Luan would not let this chance escape. This holiday was one of the biggest to raise money for chocolate, and luckily, Dimas Corporation had a chocolate branch. Although not the best, it was acceptable, however, now with the new recipe, Luan was confident of being among the first if it didn't take first.
Anyway, it was all about getting more money and investing more in precious plants and herbs, and creating more pills. Luan has also started planning on creating machines to make mass alchemy. Of course, he would only make low-level pills, however, for the present time it was more than enough to help the entire planet and also raise more and more money.
The more money he made in the meantime, the more prepared he would be for when the Third Awakening happened.
"You must be Ingrid, CEO Luan's girlfriend, yes?" CEO Marco was a smart man and knew where he could and couldn't go. He saw how Luan treated Ingrid and realized right away that he loved her very much, otherwise he wouldn't have been holding hands with her even now. Smiling, he said, "Miss Ingrid, it is a pleasure to finally be able to meet you."
"Equally," Ingrid said, politely.
"Haha. Okay, I'm not going to be taking too much of your time anymore. I am now going to show you the factory and also the process for producing the chocolates and Easter eggs." Smiling, CEO Marco turned and headed toward the elevator.
The moment they stepped into the sector that was the chocolate factory, CEO Marco led them and started to explain everything.
Although they continue to work without distractions, this did not prevent since of the employees from whispering softly among themselves when noticing the presence of CEO Marco and especially Luan Dimas - the creator of the recipe that made them all praise and admire them.
"Wow! He's so handsome."
"Yes, even more personally."
"His girlfriend is also very beautiful."
"Yes, although she wears little revealing clothes, her figure is difficult to hide behind that suit. She has a beautiful face and a beautiful body."
"Shh, don't say that! What if CEO Luan hears it?"
"Oh..." The man who said that before swallowed and lowered his head for fear of being noticed.
Sometimes for moments of excitement and even lucidity, people forget the word "fear". Now, remembering that he was talking about CEO Luan's girlfriend, his face went as white as a sheet.
The other employees were not fools. They did not even dare to look at Ingrid lasciviously. The fact that Luan Dimas was holding hands with her even in this situation, showed how much he loved and idolized her and was not afraid to show his love for her or hide it.
How many people would have dared to do this? How many would have been willing to show such affection, even when it was such an important subject, without fear of being scorned for it? Even so, he refused not to let others know that she, Ingrid Anjos, was his girlfriend.
Luan looked in the direction of the man who had spoken with his cold eyes. It was as if the man had turned into a popsicle with a look. He became so hard and rigid that he didn't even dare to breathe, and he prayed to God to transform himself into a chameleon and become part of the background and avoid Luan's gaze.
Luan snorted and stopped looking at the man. This was not just a warning to him, but to everyone who dared to talk nonsense. The first time he just gave a warning with a look, but not the next time. Next time he wouldn't let it go so easily.
CEO Marco did not say a word. His face was somber.
Despite explaining things at the factory to Luan, he always noticed Luan's reaction and saw when one of the employees was disrespectful. CEO Marco's assistant was with him. He looked at the assistant and said quietly, "Jason, make this man go to HR. We don't need lascivious people who don't know how to behave in front of CEO Luan."
"Yes." Jason nodded and left.
Luan, who saw this, nodded with satisfaction. Originally he did not think it was necessary to fire the man. However, he noticed that CEO Marco was doing this to show respect for him.
When he saw Jason standing in front of him, the man became even more pale as a ghost. "Aguinaldo, follow me to HR." He didn't even hear it when Jason spoke; he only came to himself seconds later and was forced to go to HR.
Aguinaldo's expression was worse than crying. He wanted so badly to slap himself.
Pretending to cough, CEO Marco gave an apologetic smile and continued to explain about the factory and introduce all the machines and explain and suggest that he had purchased new machines since he was confident that the chocolates would sell very well and this would be a good chance to increase production.
"Regarding the proposal to acquire new machines: I am not totally against it, but you need to work it out and let me see tomorrow how you plan to manage it," said Luan.
"Yes, yes, I already have the proposal made and I am very confident."

Meanwhile, all over the world, mysterious cracks were appearing at a devastating rate and the worst of it was that living beings had come out and started to attack.
The world was in chaos!
The armies of all countries took to the streets to fight these beings and try to regain order and peace, however, not all monsters were easily killed by normal firearms. Even missile launchers and grenades were used, and it was not long before they had to resort to using even heavier weapons. Even fighter planes appeared and began to bombard the living beings that emerged from the mysterious cracks.
