Immediately after he said it, he casually walked to his seat, opened his computer and booted it on. The room fell into a shocked silence as the colleagues processed his words, their faces frozen in disbelief.Meanwhile, Caroline's face flushed red with anger, her cheeks burning in humiliation. Her eyes flew wide open at his fierce retort.Did he just call her a stalker?The accusation hit her like a slap in the face. She was dumbfounded to the extent she couldn't say anything for a long while.Everyone in the office gasped in shock at his words. Even they had never had the audacity to speak to her this way, yet he did it, and so casually? Whispers of disbelief filled the air as they exchanged incredulous glances. Who was this man? What gave him the guts to say such things?"Wooow," a lady by her side drawled, her voice loaded with sarcasm. "Look at who's speaking! If I may ask, did you check yourself in the mirror today? You look like you've never taken good care of yourself, and yet

As Henry reached the top floor, his gaze swept across Clifford's office, and his eyes locked onto a young man who appeared to be around his age or slightly older. It was Austin Kai, Clifford's personal assistant and a former soldier of the White family.Austin Kai recognized Henry as the son of his late boss, and was pre-informed of his coming. He quickly strode over to welcome him, his steps brisk and polite."Assistant Kai," Henry acknowledged, his voice filled with familiarity."It's a pleasure to see you again, Master White," Assistant Kai lay flat on the floor, prostrating in a deep show of respect.This was a customary greeting they had in the White army to show respect to the family members, and now, Henry was the new head of the household.Even though he was no longer part of the army, he still had to show respect!The corners of Henry's lips curled into a gentle smile. He asked him to stand up. "Please get on your feet. There's no need for this," Immediately, Assistant Kai ac

Alice heard her name being called from her department and quickly stood up, rushing towards the vice president's office. "Sir…" she said, assuming it was Clifford who called her.However, upon entering the office, she realized it was Assistant Kai and Henry standing there. Irritated, she hissed, "You really gave me a heart attack, making me think it was someone important calling me. What is it?" She crossed her arms, eyeing them with a hint of annoyance."Explain yourself, Alice," Assistant Kai demanded sternly. "Why did you ignore my instructions? I could remember I clearly asked you to give him the best service."Alice glared at Henry and Assistant Kai with disdain. She scoffed and rolled her eyes, laughing scornfully. "Instructions? Why should I follow the instructions of a lowly assistant? Can't you see I'm busy? I have more important things to do than fetching drinks."Assistant Kai exclaimed dramatically, "Oh, and I suppose those important things include applying makeup during w

After she left, Clifford's anger slowly faded away, the visible frown on his face disappearing, his temper coming back to its normal state. Assistant Kai was also satisfied by the outcome of everything. He couldn't bear his master getting insulted without the latter getting punished. "Young Master, I am honestly sorry for what you had to go through in my absence. I promise this will not repeat itself again," Clifford said, lowering his head in a bow before Henry.Assistant Kai followed suit, also bowing his head. He raised his gaze and spoke with sincerity . "I apologize also, master," he said."It's okay," Henry replied, his voice dripping with amusement. In fact, he couldn't help but be entertained by her foolishness and exaggerated acting. He chuckled softly. She would do well in the movie industry, seriously."So, let's get to what I'm here for," Henry reminded him, tapping his watch as he glanced at the time. Lunch break is almost over." "Sure," Clifford said, offering him a sea

Hence, the minute Clifford came back from the restroom, she ran up to him, her heels clicking against the tile flooring. "What are you doing here, Miss Nyx?" Clifford asked as soon as he saw her, curious. He tilted his head slightly, trying to understand her sudden presence."Uhm, sir, I came to submit my assigned task. It's over there," she replied, her voice slightly breathless. She pointed towards the spot where her task was kept. Clifford nodded.She checked his face for any emotion before continuing. "Ahem," she cleared her throat. "In the process of doing that, I was surprised to see that test you had given our newest intern, Henry Flakes. I must say…that's a stretch," she said.She hoped her words would catch Clifford's attention, and she could make her case.Clifford raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "What do you mean by that?" he asked.Her hopes skyrocketed, seeing that Clifford was giving her attention. She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. "Sir, the thing
