*****Neither Ares nor Alle had expected Old Man Lean’s sudden roar of rage.Both standing stuck in their tracks, they stared at the old man whose eyes were now aggressively looking and then they exchanged gazes.Moments later, Alle pushed aside the unsettling realization that the intense gaze was coming from her father to her. She continued to approach him."Father, you were the one who helped me see my mistake towards him, right? Why are you suddenly upset with him?" she asked, genuinely puzzled.Although she mentioned no name, it was obvious she was talking about Ares.Old Man Lean gritted his teeth upon hearing her question, his glare at her instantly intensified even more aggressively. "I'm talking to you!" he growled, sharply startling Alle once again, leaving her trembling and speechless with her mouth widely agape.“Leave my sight, I don’t want to see you again for the rest of my life!” He concluded.Both Alle and Ares stood speechless, unable to react. They remained s
*****After leaving the tightly guarded Army Base, where the hospital was located, Ares did not return home, instead, he called Robert to give him the address of a good real estate company where he could buy a house.Robert was greatly confused at first, wondering why Ares would still want to buy a house after owing the most expensive estate in the state, but since he wasn’t in the position to query Ares, he hurriedly did his search and sent the list of a few places to Ares.“This one seemed to be near,” Ares mumbled to himself as he scrolled through the list sent to him by Robert, then making up his mind, he changed his direction and drove to the new destination.The real estate company selected by Area from the list was a small one, one of the smallest in its category, since it was near and he wasn't planning on buying a large house.Ares felt that the company was ideal for his needs.As soon as he entered the real estate office, he was met by the sight of a few ladies in an o
*****Ares stopped in his tracks upon hearing the sudden nervous voice that just sounded while all the ladies within the open office, who had intentionally ignored Ares turned their gazes in unison toward Sharon.Sharon, a reserved woman who had been working as a sales attendant for the Real Estate company for months but had not made any sales again since her initial success from when she was just employed, due to the oppression she faced was immediately filled her with panic seeing how she had become the focal point of attention.The Sa.r Ares was the source of bullies since he was little was the same way Sharon was the source of bully in this company.Apart from having lesser beauty compared to everybody else, she doesn’t have any designer dress other than her baggies, and she also has zero self-esteem.She would have in fact long been fired, however, she kept getting pardoned over and over again due to her exceptional performance during her first few weeks on the job, having m
*****Sharon, feeling one side of her face hitting up crazily couldn’t help but touch it with a dumbstruck expression, flabbergasted to the core.As for Ares, he couldn’t believe that something like that had happened.Perhaps his mind was so preoccupied that he didn't notice someone approaching him and Sharon, or he may have subconsciously ignored it.All in all, Ares had failed to register the presence of the current aggressive-looking Cloe.“You!!!” Gritting his teeth with rage, he jumped to his feet suddenly and pointed ferociously at Cloe.“What can you do to me, huh, you motherfucking loser?” She glared disdainfully at Ares, finally feeling good that she had put Cloe right at the place she belonged.Meanwhile, the other she-devils in the space were laughing excitedly at this moment, mocking Sharon, who was still seated on the ground she had been knocked.Ares couldn’t believe this sort of oppression. He forced in a deep breath to calm his raging heart, and then he rushed
*****“Sir President, you have to fire that bitch this time, she has already gone insane!”“Please remove the bitch from the office, otherwise, we might need to stop coming to work from tomorrow.”Acting as if they had been unfairly treated, all of Sharon's colleagues, led by Cloe, were currently in the President's office, putting the middle-aged man in a tight position.The middle-aged man, a kind and gentle person who had always treated all his employees like family, looked at the sobbing ladies before him and felt frustrated.“Could you ladies calm down first?” he pleaded.After a few more requests, they finally did as he asked.“Can you now slowly explain what really happened? Weren’t you ladies friends? Why do you suddenly want me to fire her?” President Timi finally asked, clearly confused.Because he spent most of his time either in his office or meeting potential clients outside, he wasn't often aware of what was happening in the shared workspace. Consequently, he freq
*****Although the first house was beautiful, it had a little staircase which was obviously a red flag to it, considering that there was no way Old Man Lean would be able to climb it.As for the second house, that shouldn’t even be mentioned at all, its beauty isn’t up to Ares’s taste and standard.Although it was beautiful on its own and appeared rather elegant, most of all, it could be used by a handicap, Ares did not like it which gave them only the third one left.“Hope there is another house like the one I want if the third house isn’t up to my liking as well?” On the way to the last house, Ares gazed inquiringly at Sharon who contemplated for a moment before shaking her head.“All our other houses apart from the three picked by you are not that user-friendly to people with disabilities.” Sharon, trying her best to not make the disappointed and sad expression in her obvious responded to Ares after a moment of thought.Ares entered a deep deliberation once he heard Sharon’s w
*****“Is Sharon not back yet?”Back in the real estate company, President Timi suddenly inquired, instantly startling all the ladies who were busily gossiping and making them all quickly sit straight.“Sir President, she is yet to return. This is how she used to leave the company in recent weeks.” Cloe, regaining her composure hurriedly reported with a helpless sigh.President Timi’s face changed greatly as soon as he heard Cloe. “You are telling me she has been leaving my company for no reason in recent weeks?”He gazed at Cloe with disbelief.Acting as though she had no idea about what the President was thinking, Cloe nodded her head matter-of-factly. “Sometimes, she used to leave for hours while other times, she would leave for minutes, but she seemed to always know when you will return and always return before you.”“This…” President Timi’s face slowly deformed with rage while everybody else gazed speechlessly at Cloe for a brief moment before they understood what she was
*****Although Hopeland Real Estate was a small-scale company, handling less than ten million dollars in a year many times, President Timi had never been rudely regarded like this before.He was always respected given how he owned 100% of his company all to himself.Even amongst presidents of bigger and famous companies, he was always given his own regarded respect, but now, a young man whom he could have as a second son had just spat on his face and ridiculed him to the peak.While shaking, President Timi continued glaring at Ares for a moment, furious to the extent that he had no idea about what to do, but just as he was about to return to his senses and do the needful, Cloe yelled with rage.“You motherfucking useless bastard! What do you think gives you the audacity to speak to my boss like this?!” She glared at Ares hatefully as though she was hoping he would be hit by a truck with a filed brake.After a while, she finally tore her glare away and looked back at President Ti
