Jessica was very beautiful and her singing was the more reason people troop into the bar. In fact, most of that bar’s turnover was brought by Jessica and now that she was out, the bar manager felt like he’d been beaten in a game.
As the others turned around to leave, the bar manager rushed to Jessica and grabbed her hand. “All this was my fault. I apologize to you, Jessica. Please forgive me and come back. You’ve been here for so long. The bar is your home.”
Jessica yanked her hand away from the grasp of the manager. “I’m just a singer. You can find another singer anywhere. And this is not my home. If it was, you would have had a second thought before sending me away with that man.”
The bar manager’s heart skipped a beat. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his bare hands and looked at Jessica pleasingly. “Jessica, how about I double your salary?”
The only way the bar manager coul
Henry wondered whether it was Betty’s dressing or temperament that made him assume she didn’t look like a soldier.The information showed that Betty had a resounding Nick name in the past. Betty’s Nick name was Goddess of death. It was said that which ever target she wanted to kill would die undoubtedly. She had never failed before. Other than the ferocious scar around her left eye, her entire personality depicted that of an ordinary housewife.Betty saw that Henry did not say anything for a while. She cleared her throat loudly and asked again. “Sir, do you want to buy any flowers?”“Betty, you’re a former member of the revolutionary force. Your nickname is Goddess of death. Later, you guys were betrayed by your employer and the revolutionary force was wiped out and you’re the only one who survived. Then, you quit your career and returned to Marylyn to run this flower shop.” Henry disclosed while
“You don’t have money right? Then I’ll smash your shop.” Mr. White shouted.Mr. White and his subordinates were the ones who gave loans to locals in that community. When a debtor exceeds his payday, Mr. White and his subordinates resolve to violence.“You want to destroy the shop? Trust me. If you hurt her, you can’t afford it.” Henry spat.Mr. White turned around and looked closely at Henry for the first time since he walked into the shop.Henry did not want to interfere with the matter in the first place but from the look of things, Mr. White and his subordinates were about to smash things around and he couldn’t bear to watch from the sidelines.“What did you say?” Mr. White asked Henry with an angry expression.Mr. White then studied Henry and darted his gaze to the stunning beauty beside Henry. He quickly realized that the car outside belonged to this customer
“The Parker family came to recruit someone with a low status as her?” Mr. White sneered. He pointed at Betty. “Let me tell you. I’m not letting you go so easily.” He said boldly. Mr. White felt that Henry’s instigation was the reason why Betty beat him and his men up. June walked up to Mr. White and kicked him on the leg barely after he had gotten up from the floor. “How dare you insult the Parker family? You deserve to die.” She said with an angry expression.When Mr. White looked at June, he was stunned by the cold expression on her face. Betty might have disfigured his fingers but the kick from June felt as if his leg was crushed. June reached her hand toward the metal shelf on her right. The metal shelf shook when she clenched it and it became distorted. June pulled out a straight pole from one of the cabinets of the distorted shelf. Everyone was stunned by what they saw. June flipped the iron bar and casually twisted it into a spiral form. She then stood before Mr. White and
To Henry, the loyalty of his subordinates was the most important thing. “Well, now that it’s settled, I’ll have your commander transferred to my hospital,” Henry said to Betty. Betty did not expect Henry to do things very quickly. Before she made any contributions or resumed work, Henry had already started to help her. “Thank you, sir,” Betty replied. She had now changed the way she addressed Henry, indicating that she had already become one of his subordinates.****In one of the wards of a local clinic, the former leader of the revolutionary force was confined to a room. He did not need any treatment now that he was in a vegetative state. What the old man needed was 24-hour care however, he was alone in the room.“This way,” Betty said and led Henry into the ward. When they got inside, Henry looked at the man and felt sorry for him. The man was in a corner, draped in blue sheets. He could not open his eyes and if not for the movement on his chest, one would assume that he was de
“May I know why they won’t pay you guys?” Henry asked.The young man shook his head. “These people think that we’re kids. They’ve been playing games with us. The construction company said that it’s the fault of the development company and the development company is saying that the construction company would be the one to settle us.” He began to yell at the top of his voice. “I’ve not gotten a single cent. Do they think it’s easy for workers to come across money like them? All they do is drive luxury cars into hotels and party all day long. Even if they spend tens of thousands of dollars, they won’t feel it. “Why are you guys blocking the door? Do you want to work or cause more trouble? You guys should all get lost. Don’t even think of getting a penny.” An arrogant voice thundered from the gate. When Henry turned around, he was stunned by the person he saw. The statement was made by Troy who was smartly dressed in a black tuxedo and was standing at the gate. The Lions residence was
Henry waved his hand indifferently. “This is a small matter. As long as you’re willing to work for me then consider yourself as family. Your troubles are now my troubles.”Tiny Time was elated. He had been invincible in the underground world after his mishap with his boss. Since then, he had always wanted to stand up again but the Patel family who had been chasing him were not people he could afford to offend so he had continued to sink in despair.Fortunately, Henry had given him a chance which meant that he could make a comeback.Tiny Tim cleared his throat loudly and turned to Henry. “Mr. Parker, I have another request.” He exaled sharply. “It might be a little too much.”“Speak.” Henry urged.“When I was hiding in this construction site, I could barely boast of a penny. It was the friends I made here that supported me to get through the difficult times and now that the construction boss hadn’t paid us, my friends are having a hard time. Mr. Parker. Can you……Tiny Tim stopped after
After the workers shrouded Henry, he waved his hand and called Tiny Tim over. Tiny Tim made his way through the small crowd and was soon standing in front of Henry.“Troy is gone and so are his subordinates.” Henry began. “Tiny, Tim I need you to take some of the workers and move around the area. You guys should take pictures of the poor-quality materials that are used here for construction.”Tiny Tim raised an eyebrow in confusion.“You guys can use your phones to take the shots. Ensure that you capture everything” Henry pointed out.“Sir. Are you going to…” Tiny Tim slurred and cocked his head.“I’m going to help the workers get their money but I need to make some preparations first,” Henry replied.“Okay.” Tiny Tim replied happily. He called the workers to the side and selected the ones who would assist him in taking the pictures. To the rest of the workers, Tiny Tim said. “Mr. Parker is going to get our salaries so you guys should stay here and don’t panic.”The workers heaved sig
Alexander opened his palms before his managers. “I have not offended anyone recently so why would anybody want to sabotage my company?”One of the managers walked up to Alexander and lowered the pitch of her voice. “Chairman, I think Benedict offended someone recently. You know that he’s currently with the Smith family so I believe he’s seeking refuge there. What if this was all his fault?”Alexander pondered for a moment. It made sense to him. Benedict had been out of town for days and it was unlike his son to get away from home. He wrapped his hand around his neck and groaned and then he began to mumble curses.The woman who linked Benedict’s interference with the situation was a subordinate of the Red family aside from being a manager of one of the company’s departments.“Get out. All of you!” Alexander dismissed the managers. He yanked off his tie and quickly reached for his phone on the table.His secretary quietly leaped out of the office.Alexander dialed Benedict’s phone numbe
