That morning with the Chairman’s cue to transfer the company from Brethart to Haiden, Xavier was brought in the Black E-Commerce company.When Xavier visited the company for the first time, he was wearing a turtleneck and a blazer in a core color.Employees heard that the management changed and that the former boss’ brother will handle the company.They did not expect much because they saw Brethart’s performance for the past years, and now, employees were scared that they might lose their jobs forever. However, when they saw Xavier, they were so surprised.“That is Sir Brethart’s brother? They don’t look alike!” “Didn’t you hear it? The Black family has an adopted son.” “Really?” Even if everyone knows that the new boss is the foster son of the family, they cannot deny how he looks like a true gentleman with a pleasant and respectable persona. His body is firmly-built like a knight waiting to rescue someone in his strong arms.Can he also rescue the company from falling down?Ever
Humiliation.While looking at the floor with wine dripping from the top of his head, to his face and to the tip of her chin, a cold wave of dread washed over Xavier. He was humiliated by Brethart in front of the employees.Brethart wanted him to become the laughing stock of everyone. He thought this was the best way to show Haiden where he should stand. Although Haiden replaced his position as the CEO, Brethart wouldn’t like him to forget that he was his dog, and he will always be. Murmurs buzzed like bees around flowers. Employees gasped as they observed their new boss froze like a statue while watching the wine dripping from his chin onto the ground. They felt their hearts dropped to the pit of their stomach, as they realized how mortifying it might be to stand in his place.They felt the second-hand embarrassment for the new boss. Yet pity cannot do anything. This is not the first time Brethart humiliated someone. His employees experienced it from time to time! They know the feeli
When Xavier thought that Gian was busy doing his job as the Mafioso, he wasn’t sure if that includes being his secretary.Speechless, Xavier looked at Gian, who was roaming around the office.“After you announced that you have 4% shares, you suddenly became the CEO,” Gian said before he turned his head to Xavier.He fixed his round eyeglasses and smiled at him.“And you were showered with wine during your first day,” Gian added as he walked closer.“How did you…?” Xavier asked an incomplete question.Sitting above the desk while looking at the nameplate on the table, Gian guessed, “How did I know that? Everyone was talking about the wine pouring incident as soon as I got here.”“Not that. I mean, how did you become my secretary?”“Forging things, faking identities, these are essential in my occupation. So, as soon as I heard that you will manage this company, I moved right away.”“I would say that it was too fast.”“Coming from a person who said he wants to make impossible things poss
Being Mayor is the best political job, they said. You can get things done and make things happen. And that is what Cesar aimed for.But it was a tough path. Cesar had to win over the city’s residents, launch his own campaign and stay within regulations to qualify as a candidate. Fortunately, there are people who started to support the third in rank candidate.Some were paid. Others were forced by their employers. And they were also people who really believed that Cesar is the kind Samaritan just like what they heard.In the town square where the loud sound of the campaign theme song was played, the crowd gathered while chanting a name.“Cesar! Cesar! Cesar!”Cesar raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. When the noises subsided, Cesar began his speech.“Good day, everyone! Thank you for coming here! It is really an honor to be part of this election. At this moment, we have an amazing opportunity to transform New York into the more gleaming and Charming place it is destined to be!
Excitement was painted on Lewelyn’s face like sparrows flying out of her arse. If a smile can shout, noise would fill the entire empty restaurant.Wearing a Red Slinky Ruched Bodycon Dress which shows her figure, Lewelyn looked at her face into her pocket mirror.“Perfect as ever.”Her clothes are too vulgar for someone who was looking forward to a date. But it was on purpose.Technically speaking, Lewelyn didn’t come to this place to date someone. Rather, she came to meet an acquaintance.A moment ago, Cesar asked her to send roses to Haiden Black and to treat her for dinner. Haiden became the CEO of the E-Commerce company, so they need to strengthen their alliance. Yet for Lewelyn, this is her opportunity to make Haiden hers.With Cesar money, Lewelyn reserved the whole restaurant. Disturbance isn’t allowed during her idle time with the young and sexy CEO.‘And after this, we can go straight to the hotel,’ Lewelyn giggled. She could not wait to experience being held by a manly guy l
“I wanted the steak wel…”Xavier stopped talking when he felt something brushing against his thighs. It wasn’t difficult to know what it was.His red eyes gaped at the woman sitting across him. Lewelyn’s eyes curved into a slight smile. Her twinkling, bright gaze was full of mischief. Xavier could guess what she was up to. Calling it a mistake at this point would be an utter embarrassment as the movement beneath the table had turned increasingly explicit.“Sir?” The waiter called Xavier to ask if there’s any problem why Xavier suddenly halted in the middle of giving his order.Gian, as observant as he can be, noticed the unusual reaction of the man beside him and turned his head to watch what’s happening.Xavier was pale.“I am sorry,” Xavier managed to answer with difficulty. “I wanted my steak to be well-done and…”The point of the heel gently slid up his calf and down again, giving him a strange tingling sensation that shook his thighs in disgust.When Xavier looked at the cause of
Gian went outside to pick up the call. His mood rotten as soon as he heard the report that there will be another schedule for illegal human trafficking tomorrow night.The mastermind of this was no other than Odeen Slyvia, A.K.A Spade.‘Even after killing the boss, he's making another trouble. That sh*t doesn't want me to rest,’ Gian whispered to himself through his clenched teeth.[ “The deal will happen tomorrow night, Sir Gian. It will take place near the 4th Harbor,”] the man continued his report.Soughing air, Gian asked, “What is the estimated time of the deal?”[ “10 pm. The ship which will hold the goods will arrive at 9pm. Then it will sail one hour after.” ] “Where is Kija?” Gian inquired.[ “We haven’t seen him today, boss. Do you want me to find him?” ]Gian sighed. Finding Kija was one of the most challenging tasks for Gian. It was because the kid was very unpredictable.“Never mind. Finding that kid is a waste of time. I will go to the place tonight.”[ “Do you need me
Xavier looked behind him and saw Louisa. She was wearing a thin nightgown as she crossed her arms. She looks like a cat about to raise her claws.“Good evening, mother,” Xavier greeted.“Hah! What’s good about meeting each other tonight? Seeing you will never be pleasant,” Louisa answered.Suddenly, there was a delicate atmosphere in the air, thin as ice that could be shattered at any moment. Between Xavier and Louisa, a silent war raged. The subtle desire of each person to advance or defend was concealed on their facades.The maid held her breath while watching. She does not want to meddle between the feud of the foster son and the second wife. However, she lost any chance to escape.“That’s right,” Xavier agreed to Louisa's statement after a long time. “My mother won’t be happy to see me, I know that.”Louisa’s face crumpled as she heard him call her that way again.How brazen, Louisa thought.“I don’t remember allowing you to call me ‘mother’. I did not give birth to trash.”“Ahh
