Chapter 5
At the celebration banquet, Renee offended the client, and Lukas asked me to kneel down and apologize on her behalf. I became the laughingstock of everyone.
Nowadays, reporters from major media outlets are all present. If I were to kneel down, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to lift my head in the future.
