As so as Xena blurted out those without any form of remorse, Jason coughed impulsively, and as soon as he realized that the other two people in the room had turned to look at him, he looked down almost immediately and cleared his throat as though something had really gotten into his throat. “Are you alright, Mr. Caruso?”“Yes, I am fine. I am fine, Sir. Thank you.” Jason responded to the Manager who looked a bit concerned about the way he coughed and cleared his throat. “Are you sure? You sounded like you needed some water. I could get you some if you want.” “No, you don’t need to bother about that, Mr. Coleman. I am totally fine.” Jason insisted with a smile after he managed to turn to look at the Manager. “Very well, if you insist,” Declan said, and then he turned to look at Xena who couldn’t hide the displeasure she had for Jason who interrupted their conversation. “Can we go back to the reason why we are here, Mr. Declan? You can’t be concerned about him when we have mo

Scarlet pointed to the door a few meters away from them, and Jason looked ahead to see the inscription of Assistant Manager boldly written on the door. He looked at the desk very close to the office, and she couldn’t see the Receptionist. It was as if no one had sat at the desk for months. “Where is her receptionist? Isn’t she supposed to be on duty?” Jason asked, but Scarlet scoffed at his words, and then she chuckled softly, while Jason wondered why she was amused. “I am sorry, but you are quite funny. It seems that you didn’t understand me when I told you that Miss Xena fires people who work for her after a few days of their resumption.”“Oh, is that so?” Jason chuckled even though Scarlet’s words weren't supposed to be funny. “ I think I have counted at least five innocent ladies whom she has treated badly before she eventually sacked them. Her attitude is so cruel that the Human Resource Manager is tired of recruiting any other lady to her.” Scarlet continued, but with a

Jason took two steps backward with his eyes still staring at the door, and then he sighed softly before he proceeded to speak to Harry who was eager to hear what he was going to ask. “The Assistant Manager, I heard she started working here two years ago. I was wondering, how did she start to work here?” “You mean, Miss Xena Hunt?” “Yes, Harry. She is the one.“ Jason affirmed with a low tone, and then he listened attentively to hear what Harry was going to say from the other end of the line. “Miss Hunt used to be the Personal Assistant to the former Assistant Manager of the company, Mr. Liam. From the reports I gathered, she showed tremendous dedication to her work, and Mr. Liam spoke highly of her.” “Hmm? Okay?” Jason felt the sensation of contradiction that crept into his body as soon as he heard the words that Harry said from the other end of the line. “Two years ago, Mr. Liam got really sick and he couldn’t continue working with us. Xena covered up for him with so much

Matthew thought about the question for a few seconds with his smile still intact, and when he had reached an amount within himself, he chuckled excitedly and nodded at the same time. “A thousand dollars won’t be bad at all.” “What?” “Yes!” Matthew said loudly while his smile disappeared and he more a serious look on his face. Jason was taken aback by his words, and he couldn’t believe how greedy he was trying to be. “A thousand dollars? That’s way too much, Sir.” “Well, that’s what I want,” Matthew said without being ready to budge, and Jason scoffed in so much surprise. “Look, man. You know I am just doing you a favor here. You look like you have to be somewhere really important, and I am trying to help you out here. By the way, I don’t think you would be losing a lot of money if you gave me an extra eight hundred bucks from the bundle you have in there.” Matthew pointed to the position Jason kept the rest of the cash he was with. Jason continued to stare at the middl

Meredith waved at the dashing young man in a blue suit walking out of a room from a corner close to the foyer of the building. He had brown eyes and thick blond hair that made him stand out amongst most of the people he was walking across. “Liam! This way!” Meredith was able to draw his attention the moment he looked up, and as soon as he saw her, he smiled and started to saunter toward her. “That’s my man! That’s Liam.” Meredith chuckled with so much excitement, looking at Jason with her eyes shooting rays of ridicule at him. “Is this really necessary, Meredith? I am sure that the young man has a lot on his table, and wouldn’t want to spend so much time talking to a stranger.” “Oh no, not my Lian. He barely does anything in here. How would he even bother to work when there are capable hands everywhere? He just sits around and orders people to do his work.” “I see.” Jason nodded with a smile, taking note of all the things she said to him. “Oh, yes. Did I mention that he
