“I have to say, Miles, you’ve really become quite a mysterious person over the years.” Ethan let out his thoughts as he was driven by Miles along the road. “How did you even know a man as powerful as Mr. Jackson Bell?”Miles chuckled as he could hear the slight excitement in Ethan’s voice. “It’s a secret, my friend. No one is privy to know that, yet, at least.”Ethan nodded his head as his smile became slightly weak. He then began speaking with a calm voice. “Miles, you really saved me today. I don’t if you realize how truly grateful I am to you for the things you and your wife did, but I’m really….”Miles placed a comforting hand on Ethan’s shoulder while his other hand was still on the steering. Somehow, he still managed to look cool while being in such an awkward angle. “I don’t want you mentioning this to me again, got it? You, my friend, used to help me a lot back during our college days. This is the least that I can do for you. As for the managerial position, it should be open t

“Miss Lola, thank you so much for being here with me. I really appreciate it.” Ava Truman smiled warmly at Lola as she was seated in the passenger seat of the sales director’s car. Ava Truman is a sales manager who got into Styleon Group Corporation around the time that Lola was on probation for her promotion from Sales Manager to Sales Director. When she saw how competent and overall amazing Lola was at doing her job, she gathered her courage and approached the Sales Director to help her with a contract deal worth $500 million. This was a few days after people at the office began speculating that Lola had the highest chance of heading the new company that the chairman was building.At first, Ava Truman didn’t hold any hope that Lola would accept to help her bag that contract, as it was just $500 million. Even though this was a big deal to Ava, she knew it was nothing to Lola who had bagged multiple contract deals for Styleon Group Corporation, with a total sum of up to $5 billion. T

Derek now had a lewd expression on his face. “It’s exactly what it looks like, Miss Lola. You simply do not have my permission to leave until I get what I want from you.”Lola raised an eyebrow at this bald man in the suit. “And what is it exactly that you want from me?” She appeared calm on the surface but her heart was racing furiously at the moment.Derek smirked at the question. “C’mon, you’re a freaking Sales Director after all so I know you’re dumb. Unless you get naked with me in a special room and let me have my absolute full of you, you will not be leaving this place.”Ava gasped and covered her mouth as she heard these words from Derek. Fear gripped her heart, not for herself but rather for Lola who was currently in this conundrum because of her. If she hadn’t convinced Lola to come with her to this place, this would have never happened to Lola. Feeling responsible, Ava knew that she had to save Lola no matter what. At this point, she didn’t care what would happen to her, bu

Ava was sobbing heavily as one of the bodyguards in the room held her by her arms and twisted behind her while the other bodyguards kept slapping her face over and over again. She had blood trickling down her face at this point. The other bodyguard who had been kicked by Ava in the balls earlier still couldn’t walk properly. He had a pack of ice placed between his legs while his trousers were down while glaring hatefully at Ava, glad that she was getting beat up.As for Derek Webber, he was seated back while taking a glass cup of whiskey. “I’m willing to forgive you, Miss Ava, as long as you bow down to me and ask for forgiveness twenty times.”Ava was heaving from the exhaustion and agony at this point, but she simply kept quiet.At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked down and Derek became alert while his bodyguards froze as well. There, right at the entrance, they all saw Miles and Lola standing right behind him.Derek smirked. “Ah! I see the runaway slut has returned to get h

Miles halted his assault and he turned back to find the four bodyguards, who he had knocked out outside this building, were now awake and all pointing guns at him.Miles chuckled. “Or what? What will you do if I don’t get off of him?” He turned back and he resumed punching Derek who was desperately trying to keep his life from being snuffed by this crazy man.The bodyguards frowned in annoyance and all four of them pulled the triggers on their gun only to find nothing being shot out of them. They were left confused initially, and they pulled the trigger multiple times only to be left with the same results.“Your gun is empty of all bullets. I made sure of it.” Miles didn’t even turn back to these four bodyguards as he just continued punching Derek in the face. He had lightened his assault though, as he didn’t want Derek to pass out.The four bodyguards were left stunned and they threw away their empty guns with anger as they checked their guns and confirmed that they were indeed empty
