Alex arrived at the estate manager's company, parking his car in the lot. He came down and saw a bold inscription of De Silva real estate atop the building. He smoothened his suit and began to walk into the company when suddenly, he felt water being splashed at him."What the...!" He sidestepped and turned to where the water came from. There, he saw an old man watering some plants by the entrance. The old man threw a glance at Alex and looked away, not bothering to apologize for splashing water. Alex couldn't believe it and scoffed. He decided to just ignore him and continued walking.However, the old man looked at Alex's expensive suit and watch and sneered. "Young people these days really think they can afford anything. It's all flash and no cash!" "Sorry?" Alex furrowed, taking a step back while looking at the old man.The old man flared his nostrils, eyeing Alex. "What? You think I'm wrong? You want to come beat me up?" He shook his head and turned away. "Hmm, these 21st centur
"Hold it, was that a prank call?" Marcus shouted, as the other agents nodded in agreement. "Alex, give it up already and stop fooling yourself. We won't take this lightly with you. Enough is enough!" Suddenly, a wealthy middle-aged man with two bodyguards dressed in suits entered the building. He wore a Rolex wristwatch and was none other than James, the owner of the company. Everyone in the company began to bow their heads in respect as James looked around, like he was searching for someone. Everybody began to greet him loudly, even Marcus left his position and bowed his head. But James paid no attention, still scanning the place. When his eyes landed on his target, "The Great Master!" James boomed loudly, bowing his head in reverence."Huh?!!" Gasps and murmurs of "Goodness!!" and "oh my!" rippled through the watching employees.Pens and paper dropped from petrified fingers. Mouths gaped open in astonishment as stunned workers gawked at the unexpected sight of their boss bowing
The goons cracked their necks and knuckles, ready to give Alex a good beating. He seemed to be a spoilt rich kid who knew nothing about fighting or living on the streets.So, the one that was holding the girl hurriedly charged at him and threw a punch at his nose. Alex stumbled back a bit, but just merely wiped the blood off his nose.The girl gasped in tremor, and quickly searched herself for her handkerchief. She started wiping off the blood stains from Alex's nose. "Sir, sir, you need to leave now! The goons might hurt you!" The lady exclaimed, still wiping the blood off.Seeing her display of affection for Alex made the goon start to snicker loudly in mockery. "Hey, are you kidding me right now? Does this look like a tender moment to you? Come here, you whore!"They began to drag her roughly, taking her away. They laughed, "Haha, you're so funny, you were really asking a spoilt kid to help...."The words hung in the goon's mouth as he suddenly felt himself being thrown to the grou
He never noticed she was the one right before him. He felt that the only person Argent would send was Vivian and was only focused on giving Vivian the worst treatment of her life. Harley's surprised gaze traveled down Alex, surprised tht he was the president.She inched closer to him to clear her curiosity, asking innocently. "Alex, are you the president of this company?" She then gasped, "And you allowed me disrespect you last night?" Caught off guard, Alex found himself at a loss for words. He observed the shock on Harley's face, running his hands through his hair in confusion. His mind suddenly clicked. He swiftly turned his attention to Barney, signaling him to say something.Understanding what Alex meant, Barney nodded in understanding. Barney suddenly released a wide smile and gestured towards a seat, "Please take a seat. He is my assistant." He said.Alex breathed a sigh of relief. He felt like giving Barney a kiss at that moment. He didn't want to risk revealing his identit
"Huh?" Barney raised one of his brows. "No, I was just saying, not like I have any idea who it is. But Master, I think you should be very careful henceforth," he added."Of course, and it will be starting today. Rockson, arrange for six of the guards to follow me!" Alex said. "Yes boss!" Rockson responded and left to carry out his orders.Alex left for the penthouse and changed into a casual fit to go and see Harley. He also took a car that was not too catchy but still pricey to avoid drawing too much attention. The enemy might be watching his move, right?Harley had texted him that the place there were to meet was Upwest restaurant.After he arrived at the restaurant, he surveyed the interior of the building. While the layout and design were similar to that of Hypernova Restaurant, the one owned by Edmundo, Upwest lacked Hypernova's style and space.He told the guards with him to wait outside till he was through then entered inside, and checked everywhere to see where Harley was. Af
Vivian looked up at Alex with burning fury in her eyes. Her hands itched to give him a slap that instant, but she controlled herself. What the hell did he think he was???She looked around, and luckily for her, only a few people recorded. But hold on, can't these Texas people do without recording embarrassing scenes????Lord, she hated embarrassment! Even though her legs were hurting badly, she stood up and expected Alex to give her an apology. After all, Alex was a guy who never liked to hurt a woman. But Alex stood there, not even giving her a look. To him, he was only protecting Harley from her dubious step sister. She then shifted her gaze to Harley, who was overwhelmed with everything happening. When she noticed how Alex had made her embrace him, she withdrew herself quickly. "Wow, it all makes sense to me now. You bunch of idiots, especially you, Alex. You dare to push me, huh? Just to save your sugar mommy, right?" Vivian bellowed with deep rage burning within her, while Al
Vivian taunted Alex. She knew from the start tht Alex was only joking; how could he pay for it? Of course, he was a poor rat, no change even after six months! She decided to strike a good pose. She folded across her arms across her chest, giving him a disgusted look.On another hand, Alex was dumbfounded. He was sure he always took his black card with him while going out! Watching all these, the waitress at the counter scoffed. "Do you think this place is a joke? It seems you don't know where the fuck you are, or do you want me to call the security guards to give you a beating? Do you think we offer free meals here?" She looked at him in disgust, ready to cause trouble, while Vivian still found it amusing.To add more fuel to the fire, Vivian cleared her throat. "I will never regret leaving you, Alex!" She said sarcastically.The waitress heard it and was shocked. But still not to shocked. Of course, how would someone as shameless at he man in front of her care for the beautiful la
Alex violently pushed Amos to the floor, and he fell on him, getting dust all over his shirt.But he quickly stood up without dusting the dirt off, and looked at where the bullet was shot from, and saw it was from the top of the building opposite them. But the person was already escaping, and he knew even if wanted to go after him, it was useless."Amos, are you alright?" He asked with genuine concern, turning to Amos. He was still on the floor, his eyes wide open in shock at what just happened.Alex helped him stand up and checked if the gun had hit any part of his body. But thankfully, no one had been injured.The bullet had missed its target, instead hitting and bursting one of the tires on Amos's car."I'm fine, son. Are you alright?" Amos asked, touching Alex's face with a hand as they embraced, both feeling a sense of relief. Amos then stood up, finding it strange. "Alex, where did the red light come from?" Amos inquired and Alex pointed towards the tall building opposite them.
