"I'm...""I know you. You're James, the new assistant to the director of finances. Congratulations," Milly interrupted with a smile."Thank you," James replied politely."Okay, so I want to get to know you, maybe spend some quality time with you if you know what I mean," Milly said, and brandished a sensual smile while searching her pocket before handing him her business card. "Here's my card, that's my number. Make sure you give me a call."James hesitated for a moment, not particularly interested, but he took the card to avoid embarrassing her.

Chapter 123 Williams got to his office and quickly got back to work. His plan was to hack into the new server, claiming it has been breached by the hackers. He would then request a large sum of money from Eric to buy tools that he would use to fix it. “Nice scamming strategy!” He boasted to himself. “At least this would generate over 10 million dollars for me.” Within a few minutes he was able to breach the new EMC's server where every employee's information was moved, with his sophisticated software. He searched the server, looking for Mrs. Lee's profile and it didn't not take him a few seconds before he found it. “There you're, Mrs. Fucking Lee.” He smirked. “Now let me see how you'll be able to come out of this after I have framed you. But first, the whole of EMC must feel my shock.” He said and sent an email to everyone on the server. *** Mrs. Lee told James everything he needed to know as the personal assistant. But just as they were deep in discussion, an urgent message
Chapter 124"That's a whole lot of money," James blurted out. "I don't think that's necessary. Moving the server to a…""Shut up, what do you know?" Williams retorted, cutting him short. It appears he was still pissed that James was promoted."Say that again and I'll bang your head hard across this marble table," James replied angrily."You're just good for nothing, and you can't do anything. Try," Williams scoffed at him.James clenched his fist hard and angrily stormed across the table towards Williams.Williams saw him coming and readied himself for the confrontation.It was evident that the enmity between the two has grown and they can't wait to dig it out among themselves.William was sincerely trying hard to find out who James really is and James on the other hand is trying to figure out what his intentions are.Eric saw how the situation was escalating and then intervened, "Enough of this, both of you! I won't have you fighting in my office. That's a disgrace to EMC.""Why not
Chapter 125"James, what do you think?" Ellen noticed James' sad expression and asked."Oh, I love it. It's a great idea," James brightened up."Are you sure?" Ellen questioned."Yes, I love it. That'd be great," James affirmed."A second double date it is then," Lana chimed in.Eric looked up from his seat with a playful jealous look. "Oh, how I wish I was younger.""Yeah, you can join us too, Mr. Wood. It's gonna be worth having the CEO and his lovely wife around," Williams said. He wanted to meet her too and if possible manipulate her."Nope, you guys should go along. I don't want to ruin your date for you. Anyway, send me your account number. Let me send 10 million dollars for you," Eric said."Of course," Williams agreed and sent his account details.Instantly, Eric sent him 15 million dollars."Sent," Eric confirmed."Received. I think I better be on my way to update the server," Williams said.“What server?” Lana asked him.“The virus just broke down the new EMC server.” Eric s

Chapter 127Ryan Wane burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha! Just joking." He shook Williams' hand vigorously, and Williams felt relieved.

"You're Williams Jesse?""Yes, sir."“How are you doing?” Ryan Wane asked.“I'm very well, sir.”"I know you. The hero of EMC," Ryan said."How did you know about that, sir?"

Although he didn't feel like it at all, he had no option but to make Ellen and Lana happy.At the Princeton's Manor entrance, he was stopped by security. "Who are you, and what are you here to do?" one of the guards asked."I'm James, and I'm here to see Ellen," he replied."Okay, our lady told us that you would be coming, sir," the guard said, greeting James with respect.
