It was such a huge hassle to leave the hall. Jones's father was having a hard time finding his way out. The reporters were too many. They were all trooping after Miss Zoe to hear one or two things from her. But the men who had escorted Miss Zoe shooed them away, holding them back. While the escorts were doing their best holding the reporters back, Jones's father had been able to squeeze his way in and hurried to catch up with Miss Zoe before she could get into the car. Three men dressed in blank stood in his way. He couldn't get any closer. He smiled from distance at Miss Zoe. "Excuse me, please, can I have one moment of your time?" Jones's father asked. Miss Zoe's checked her wristwatch and then sighed. "Speak from there." She said to him. "My name is Marcus, I'm the eldest son of the Auroville family. My son, Jones, was the one who submitted the proposal to your office." He said so restlessly. Miss Zoe didn't make a precise reaction. She just kept staring at him. He didn't sa
Achiel got down from the cab and paid. He turned to his right. He was standing at the front of an automobile company. He lifted his gaze to look at the name of the company. Luxe Wheels was the inscription written. He had always heard about the company. Luxe Wheels was one of the best automobile companies in Jade City. Though vehicles were not produced here, the owner of the company has some strong connections with several brands of exotic cars all over the world. So the company has all brands of cars any customer could ever think of. Achiel didn't know much about cars, but he loved them a lot. Cars were one of the few things that excites and flutteres him. His love for cars started back in college days. Those days, he would vow that immediately he left college, he would get a job in an automobile company. A company that produces cars. From there, he would gain ideas. Ideas on how to build his own brand of special cars. But his dreams turned into nightmares immediately he finished c
Four security men ran into the hall at once. "Linda. What is the matter?" One of the security men asked. The man was looking like he was about to make a corpse out of Achiel. The security man also saw Achiel when he was walking into the company. He knew for sure that this average punk must be up to no good. "I'm fine, Jerome. I'm fine." Linda, the sales guide said. One of the security men stepped forward. "Are you sure?" The man asked, glaring at Achiel. "I said that I'm fine! You should go now. Otherwise, I'll report to the supervisor that you are obstructing my duty." Linda snapped at the man. The man took a glance at Linda. Then he walked to Achiel. He was standing very close to Achiel now as though he would enter through Achiel's skin. He couldn't make a scene. He was scared of the supervisor. The company was so big that the manager was hardly seen. The employees report directly to the supervisor who reports to the manager. He pointed two fingers towards his eyes, then po
What is happening? What has just happened? The manager of Luxe Wheels? The manager who was never seen by most of the workers? Suddenly, he appeared out of nowhere? Recently, it was said that the manager had travelled to a very distant city. Many had thought that he wouldn't be back until after a month. That was the basics of the information. But this manager is here at the moment? But he is not only here! He is bowing to someone! Bowing to who? This common man who couldn't afford a proper pair of fit?None of this made any sense to the people present in the VVIP space. When the four security men and the two sales guides saw their manager fall on his knees, they had no choice but to drop on their knees too. Achiel lifted his gaze to look at all of them. Even Linda was on her knees, too. None of them could lift their heads. The manager knew too well that he would have to wait for the instructions of Achiel before he could get up on his feet. "That's enough. Rise." Achiel ordered.
Linda didn't lift her gaze for the next few seconds. She was so scared and anxious. Though she had taken a guess that this man might be a rich man who is in disguise, but the heir of the Ouclux empire? She could never have taken this guess in several lifetimes if she was reincarnated. Quickly, her mind flashed through the past. She recalled how she had decided to walk away from Achiel when Achiel asked for her help. Then she suddenly dropped on her knees. "Do not spare me, Young Master. I have no excuse. I was rude to you. Punish me." She pleaded. Achiel's tough face melted into a soft smile as he gazed warmly at her. Achiel leaned forward towards her. He lifted her up. Though she was reluctant, yet she couldn't have imagined that Achiel could do something like that. Her gaze was to the floor. She feared to look him in the eyes. "Raise your head." He said to her. She didn't want to, but she dared not. Raising her head, she met a smiley face. His face was no longer tough and me
The rich looking man who had a bodyguard pushed his frame haughtily forward when he saw Achiel advancing. In his face, there was disgust and disrespect. The manager was still trying to pay his respect to Achiel, who was approaching, when the rich looking man stole the stance. "You must think this place is a joke to you. How dare you casually interrupt when privileged folks are having a discussion?" The man snapped at Achiel. The manager was going to step in right away, but Achiel held up one of his hands. The manager was not pleased with the situation, but he could never ignore the instructions of the heir of the Ouclux empire. "You seem like you have a lot to say." Achiel said to the man. "This little punk! How dare you speak so casually to me?!" The man snapped at Achiel. Achiel lifted his gaze. He realised that the bouncer who was with the man was already fuming and would act any moment from now. "Tell your dog to keep its leash firm, else he would cause you a problem that y
The rich looking man started to laugh out loudly. As he laughed, he pointed one of his hands at Achiel. "This crazy punk really has some acting skills! At this rate, you should have received an Oscar!!!" The man kept laughing. "Zoe. Cancel the contract..." The man put his hand to cheek, mimicking Achiel. "Do you even know who Miss Zoe is? Did you just casually call her name? I don't think you have any idea what would become of your pathetic life if she finds out that you are using her to front! Is that how big your ego is?!" The man looked irritated. "Oh, now I understand." The man started to nod. "You don't want to be disgraced in the front of all these sales guides and your hired bodyguards. I must give it to you. You are quite a persistent punk." The man scoffed. The man stepped forward and raised one of his hands to smack Achiel in the face,"What an active lad you are! You must be such a pain in the ass for your parents." The man almost brought his hand down on Achiel's che
"Aren't you all ashamed of yourself?" Achiel asked, looking from one man to the other. The three men didn't want to turn at once since they were still busy taunting the homeless man. When they turned eventually, they had deep glares sitting in their faces. "Whose brother is this?" One of the three men said, making a joke. The other two men who were with him took the joke on, laughing for quite a while as they argued amongst themselves. "Doesn't he look like your long-lost brother?" One said. "Never, Manuel was very much better than this shabby looking punk." The other man responded. Achiel didn't care about their insults at that moment. He was only worried about just one thing; the samething that caught his attention and made him pull over at once. Achiel's attention fell on the homeless man who was draped in wet and tattered clothes. It was very cold out there. Achiel knew what the man must be going through. It must be hell out here!!!On top of that, not only did this man hav
