Ascendance Of The Talented Tycoon

Chapter 4.

Henry scowled as he turned around to look at the figure who had just called him.

"Ohh, it's you, Abigail." Henry smiled as he looked at her. There were no emotions in his eyes and they looked rather empty.

"You had the guts to look for another woman right after I broke up with you, how dare you?" Abigail fired as she looked at Henry before looking at Mia.

She was jealous of Mia as the latter was more beautiful than her, besides, she was dressed luxuriously. Even Patrick wouldn't be able to afford the brand of clothes she was wearing.

"And how's that my business?" Henry inquired as he stared at her. 

"How dare you?" Abigail sneered.

"Well the last time I checked, you returned the engagement ring I gave you and called me a stranger, so I think the same applies to you." Henry shrugged.

"Besides, it's just as you've said, we are not of the same world, we were never meant to be together, so I don't think you should worry about anything."

"Also, since you've engaged to the one who loves you, then why the hell are you still looking for my trouble."

"Are you a fucking whore or what the hell are you if you not?"

"Shut your twerp your trash." Patrick, who was with Abigail, huffed as he looked at Henry.

"Ohh, it's you, Patrick." Henry smiled as he looked at Patrick. He didn't know why, but the hatred he felt towards Patrick had all disappeared, rather he was filled with disdain and disgust.

"Who the fuck do you do you think you are?" Patrick asked. 

"Well, take it easy Patrick," Henry smiled.

"Well, even if you didn't say it, do you think I'll take a look at trash like you?" Patrick sneered.

"Well, then I'd advise you to try remembering that you've lost your jobs, and I don't think any company would be willing to take you in." Patrick continued with a smile.

"Well then, I'd like to thank you for the kind reminder, but do you think I care?" Henry frowned.

"What do you mean?" Patrick frowned.

"Well, all thanks to you, you've been taking all that belonged to me, haven't you?" Henry sneered.

"Now that I've fired you , do you think other companies would be willing to take you in?" Patrick smiled.

"Well, well, well, Patrick, I'd say you've got the nerves of an iron talking to me that way, you know I've not followed up the case of you taking what was mine." Henry smiled.

"Alright, I'd like to see how trash like you would survive in the future." Patrick sneered.

"Well then Patrick, I'd like to inform you that you've lost your job." Mia who was by the side frowned as she spoke up.

"And who the hell are you, pretty lady?" Patrick chuckled as he looked at Mia.

"I don't think you deserve to know who I am." Mia sneered.

Even though she didn't know what dispute was between Henry and Patrick, from what Henry was saying it seemed as though the latter had always taken the credit which was meant for the former.

"Well, I see you have a quite fiery temper, but let me remind you, I don't think you can get anything going around with this good for nothing." Patrick smiled.

"Wow, then I'd allow you to decide if he's good for nothing or not. But don't take my words lightly." Mia sneered.

"What words?" Patrick sneered.

"You've lost your job." Mia smiled lightly.

"Beautiful, I don't think you know who I am right?" Patrick chuckled.

"Tell me about yourself." Mia smiled.

"Well you see, I have a very high position at Nexus Architects, so, why won't I take your words lightly." Patrick chuckled.

"Nexus Architects," Mia frowned.

"Yeah beautiful, or perhaps have you become so panic-stricken when you heard the name." Patrick smiled as he looked at Mia, the lust in his eyes evident.

"Well, it's a pity I don't know any employee with that name at the company." Mia smiled.

Who the hell did Patrick think he was? Nexus Architects was just a branch Company that belonged to the Humphrey family. Out of the many branches, it was the one that was the least valued by the family.

Besides, the company had now been transferred to Henry so he could manage it and she was there to help him.

"Well, it's normal you've not heard of my name, but I'd let you know, I'm Patrick Gonzalez." Patrick smiled.

"Well, it's done Patrick, you're fired already," Mia smiled.

"Okay, pretty lady, I'd bet you're joking." Patrick chuckled as he looked at Mia.

"Well, I'd be happy to tell you I'm not." Mia smiled as he brought out her phone and dialed a number.

"I want you to fire someone named Patrick Gonzalez, at the company," Mia said immediately after the call was picked up.

Patrick frowned seeing Mia make a call, at first he was shocked, but then he realized that she might be playing tricks on him.

"I'd rather say you tried, but you're still unable to do what you just said." Patrick laughed.

"I wouldn't laugh that way if I were you." Mia sneered.

Ring! Ring!

Suddenly, Patrick's phone rang loudly which made him frown as he wasn't expecting any call at the moment.

"I'd pick up the call if I were you." Mia smiled.

Patrick's frown deepened as he picked up the call seeing that it was his superior at the company.

"Patrick, what the hell do you think you're doing?" A loud yell came from the other end of the phone.

"If you want to implicate someone then better don't implicate me as I would never forgive you."

"But..."

"Shut the hell up, I don't care, but you've offended someone you shouldn't have." The voice from the other end cut him off sharply.

"Come and pack your load out of the office right away, you're fired." The voice on the other end of the phone said before hanging up angrily.

"Mia, let's go, I don't think there's a need to stay any longer." Henry chuckled as he pulled Mia along with him.

"Hey, beautiful lady," Patrick smiled bitterly as he called out to Mia.

"What do you want?" Henry frowned as he stopped in his tracks.

"Well, beautiful Lady, can you help reverse your order?" Patrick smiled bitterly as he looked at Mia, his arrogant attitude had undergone a 360° change.

"Well, I'm afraid I can't." Mia sighed as she shook her head looking rather helpless.

"Why's that beautiful lady?" Patrick looked rather pitiful.

"Well, the ownership of the company has just been transferred and I'm no longer in charge." Mia sighed.

Patrick's face went black hearing Mia's words as he couldn't believe his ears, she had to be joking, right?

"Well, I'm not joking, if that's what you think, I'm sorry I can't help." Mia shook her head as she said.

"Young Master, let's go." Mia continued as she turned to Henry.

"Beautiful lady, don't go yet..." Patrick hurriedly came back to his senses as he called out to Mia.

Even though he couldn't believe his ears as to what the lady had called Henry, he still chose to ignore the latter.

"Young man, if you want to plead to someone, I think you should plead to the young master instead." Mia smiled as he looked at Henry.

"Huh?" Patrick froze as he couldn't believe his ears.

"Sweetheart, tell me you're joking." Patrick frowned.

"Well, I don't think you need your job if you're too arrogant to plead for mercy from the young master." Mia shrugged.

"Henry, you know I've treated you well, don't treat me this way.." Patrick smiled as he looked at Henry.

"And what does your predicament have to do with me?" Henry frowned.

"I'm not the one who fired you, so just go plead to the one who fired you." Henry continued.

"No Henry, you can't do this..." Patrick pleaded.

"Well, it's none of my business." Henry shook his head.

"Okay, Henry, I'll give you back all your salaries I withheld and even give you the award I collected from you." Patrick smiled as he looked at Henry.

He believed that the lady by Henry's side was just trying to give Henry face that was why she said that.

"Then?" Henry frowned.

"I'll renounce my engagement with your girlfriend, then she can be yours again." Patrick smiled as he looked at Henry.

"And what makes you think that I'll want that whore once again?" Henry frowned.

"How dare you call me a Whore?" Abigail, who was by the side, sneered even before Patrick could say anything.

"Shut the fuck up!" Patrick yelled at Abigail.

"But...."

"Shut it!" Patrick yelled, feeling annoyed.

Was this girl insane, didn't she see what kind of predicament he was in, and yet, she was trying to complicate matters for him?

"Henry, don't worry, I'll give you everything you want." Patrick smiled as he looked at Henry.

"Well, I don't think I'm interested." Henry shook his head.

"Mia, let's go." Henry smiled as he turned around and walked out of the hotel alongside Mia.

"Henry, you dare refuse my offer!" Patrick growled as he watched Henry walk away.

"Whatever, do your worst, I'll be waiting." Henry chuckled.

"Are you threatening me? Patrick yelled.

"Nope, but I'm just stating facts. No need to flatter yourself, I'll never threaten the likes of you." Henry smiled as he walked out of the hotel.
