“Annoying brat?” Rene repeated, her blood boiling in anger. “Just who do you think you are to call me that?! Just because you work now, I'm supposed to give you respect?” Now that Brian stared at Rene, he realized she looked oddly familiar, and that made him even confused. Not interested in her tantrums, he proceeded into the elevator, but Rene pulled him out. Brian was stunned by the amount of strength she wielded, and out of anger, he grabbed her hand, controlling himself hard not to snap it into two. “Little girl, it's better you continue working, and ignore me. Don't get me angry.” Rene scoffed, rolling her eyes as she stared at Brian. “And who are you calling a little girl? Do you think you're old enough to give birth to me?! Hey, Brian, if respect is something you're looking for, I can never give it to you. Anyone below my standards isn't worth my respect.” she smirked. Brian clicked his tongue in anger, curious to know her identity. “So you're indirectly saying I'm below yo

“True?” Rene repeated, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “I can bet on anything that your position would even be less than that of a mere manager. Perhaps an assistant, or even worse, a lowly junior assistant.” she added. “Anyways, I need to go now. Duty calls as I'm not as jobless as you are.” Rene said after a while as she turned to leave. “Master, it took you so long.” Albert's voice was heard as he walked towards Brian, and Rene halted in her steps. ‘Master?’ she wondered as she turned to look at Albert, her eyes filled with curiosity. Brian smiled, “Albert, I was dealing with something insignificant, but I'm here now. Is anything the matter?” he asked, referring to Rene as unimportant, but she was unusually calm. The sight In front of her was quite hard to take in, and she was having a hard time wrapping her head around it. Her heart raced and she wavered slightly, but she masked it with a smile. Perhaps Albert was also of a low class, and they were birds of the same feathers.

Kaiden could sense a threat from Brian's words, and he was suddenly frightened. Kaiden was completely speechless as he didn't know the response to give Brian. He valued the two options, but Brian didn't seem to care. Brian scoffed, “Mr Walker, please leave this company. I've had enough.” His voice was extremely cold and frightening, sending shivers down Kaiden's spine. “Mr Duke,” he began, his voice wavering slightly, “Please have mercy. Rene is deeply sorry.” he added, and Brian's gaze landed on Rene who seemed unconcerned, “No, she isn't. She's not even willing to accept she was wrong. That's the greatest of them all, Mr Walker. She's a spoiled brat.” he spat. Kaiden dragged Rene and forced her to kneel, “Rene, tell him you're sorry. Your future depends on this. If other companies should hear that you got rejected by the Duke's Empire after getting accepted, no one would want you as an intern.” He warned. Rene's eyes widened in surprise as she had a long time accepting the truth.

Brian chuckled at the boldness of the sales assistant to hold him that way. Even if she didn't really know who he was, she wasn't supposed to treat a customer this way. He gave her an icy glare, “Take your hand off.” His voice was low and menacing, sending shivers down the young lady's spine. Immediately, she released his hands and apologized, “I'm sorry, sir. However, you can't purchase this dress. Please pick another or leave our mall.” she said politely, even when she was indirectly insulting him. Dumbfounded that the young lady asked him to leave the mall, Brian became enraged. All he wanted was to purchase a dress, and this sales assistant had the guts to humiliate him this way? Ever since he started shopping, Brian had never encountered something like this. If the dress was off the market, why place it on display? The dress was still there because they were still looking for a potential buyer. Why then was the sales assistant proving stubborn?At the same time, another lady ap

Sonia planned to leave the mall immediately, as she had lied to the sales assistant and everyone at the mall. Close with Helene? She? A person with no unique status? Sonia simply threatened the young girls to make her do whatever she wanted at the mall, and this wasn't the first time she would be trying that kind of thing. Sonia paused, her eyes widening in terror as Brian's authoritative voice scared the shit out of her. However, she decided to feign ignorance and blame it all on the sales assistant. Moreover, the young man might have no unique status. He might only be acquainted with Helena, why then was she suddenly afraid of him? Sonia smirked as her gaze landed on Brian, “What do you mean?!” she snapped. “Just who do you think you are?! Because you called the owner of the mall outside, you think you can act high and mighty now?!”Brian smirked, and before Sonia could utter another word, Helena delivered a resounding slap across her face, causing her to stagger slightly.
