It was late when the boys returned from Skye. Johnny kept them entertained and Eric didn't even want to leave. But considering the fact that they still needed to attend college the next day, he grudgingly obliged to leave.As the chauffeur drove the car into the portable garage, Jed's eyes subconsciously drifted to the next building.He and Liana didn't get any chance to discuss again after they were rescued by the firemen and she also accompanied her unconscious friend to the hospital.He wanted to know if her friend was fine. Most importantly, know how she herself is doing.But he couldn't come up with any excuse to just walk up to her doorstep and ask all these questions so he sighed in frustration and walked in.Ben noticed his gaze at the house next door and chuckled. Putting his hand round Eric who was still engrossed in the online training match, he whispered,"Did you see that? Jed clearly wanted to visit her but he stopped himself at the last minute. Do you think he has reall
"Young master, I've made my decision," Mason called out as Jed was setting the table. Ben and Eric took over while he walked up to Mason."So... What is it going to be?" He wasn't scared Mason would reject his offer after all that was such a hard to come by proposal."I agree," Mason sucked in a deep breath like he'd just made a difficult decision. "But I have a condition.""That is?""Each software I formulate that gets released successfully must have my initials as the programmer."Jed didn't expect this would be his request. Seems like the poor man was scarred by the treatment he'd gotten from the Jetti's and Meta previously."No problem. Is that all?"Mason was surprised that Jed readily agreed. At that moment, he subconsciously pledged his loyalty to this amiable young master."Yes, that's all sir.""What about the lawsuit?"Mason wasn't as fretful as he was earlier as he declared,"I will testify whichever way you want me to and also bear witness to their wrongdoings."A smile fin
Jed leaned forward, a little bit close for Liana's comfort. "Are you doubting me?"She moved away and snorted again. He loved it when she made this sound. "Of course not. Who else would be so brave to rush back into a burning building to save someone that isn't related to him?" Her voice carried a hint of sarcasm but Jed felt he could listen to her talk forever.Liana initially thought he had gotten trapped in the building like her. She was surprised to hear the rumors of him rushing back to save the chef flying around school.Though she thought it was a foolish thing to do, she felt a bit of admiration for his courage. She gave him a curious look.Back then at Elite High, she didn't pay much attention to the bullied kid in the class but she couldn't help but feel something had changed about him.Jed smirked upon listening to all her thoughts. What stuck to his mind was that Liana admired him even if it was a little bit."Is there something on my face?" He was practically leaning on h
Once Jed got outside, his phone vibrated with a message notification. He checked it only to see a reminder from Irwin.[Boss, I have arranged a meeting for you and the employees just like you requested. Be at the company by 4pm]Jed paused, he had completely forgotten that in his anger, he asked Irwin to arrange a meeting for him. But he definitely couldn't attend that meeting.It was still too dangerous to reveal his identity now. As he walked forward in search of Ben and Jed, he pondered on what he was going to do.He couldn't avoid this meeting but he also couldn't attend it. "I always asked you to keep your anger in check! Look what you've done to yourself. How would you explain a low CGPA to your parents?" Ben's worried tone disrupted Jed's thoughts.He looked up and saw the two he had been searching for storming towards him. Eric's face was completely red with anger written all over it.But despite the way Ben was lashing out at him, he didn't respond."Guys, what's wrong?" Jed
At exactly 4pm, the employees of Meta Inc. formed an orderly line in the conference room. Actually, it wasn't the entire employees but rather heads of departments Irwin had chosen.There was no way the CEO could possibly meet up with all the employees like the minor ones. The employees all stood expectantly waiting to see who their real boss was. As usual some ladies gathered in groups and began to gossip."What if our CEO is like those young, hot, Asian males in Korean dramas?" One lady sighed dreamily; obviously a fan of Kdramas."What if our CEO is like the cold blooded with a secretly warm heart in my novels?" Another suggested. This one was a romcom fiction fanatic."I can't wait to meet him. Perhaps I'll finally fulfill my lifelong dream.""That is?" Their ears perked curiously."Having a Ceo falling in love with me," The lady drooled dreamily. "How great would it feel to become the boss lady!"Other ladies didn't take this lightly. What does she mean? Does she want to become L
The secretary was taken aback at Irwin's blunt words. She took a quick look at their Ceo. In Meta's current position in the industry, isn't it a blessing that representatives from Jetti's Inc came to visit.Besides, those people out there weren't just representatives. He is the eldest son of the Jetti's and the future owner of the family's business.The secretary wanted to leave a good impression on him so perhaps if there was a chance in future to transfer to their company, it won't be difficult for her.However, hearing Irwin's words, she felt saying that to the representatives from Jetti would make her future bleak."Is there anything else?" Irwin suddenly looked around and saw that the secretary was still standing there."No sir," She shook her head vigorously and scrambled out like someone that was just caught doing a cruel thing.Irwin was puzzled at her reaction but he focused his attention on the meeting. He wanted to hear the employees' answers. When the secretary got to the
Jack Jetti looked up when the elevator made a ding sound to indicate its opening like he has been doing for almost five hours now.Even though he told the secretary they could wait for as long as the meeting lasted, he was growing impatient.In the past when he had to visit other companies to discuss an agreement, their longest meeting was one to two hours so how could he bear waiting like this in the reception for five hours?Jack didn't realize his bad mood was slowly reflecting on his face. Some nosy employees that took note of this, secretly took a picture of him and Will with the bodyguards by their sides and uploaded it on Thread.Coupled with the hashtag [See What The Heir of The Jetti's has been reduced to], the post quickly went viral.Because there wasn't any public news yet about the impending lawsuit between the Jetti's and Meta's due to Alan's influence, netizens were intrigued by the post and speculated the possible scenarios."Mr. Jetti, have you been waiting for a long
[See What The Heir of The Jetti's has been reduced to]This headline was what caught his eye. He quickly scrolled down and read the little description tagged to the picture uploaded.A smile tugged at his lips. "This is just the beginning."Ben collected his phone and continued navigating through the comments. "The comments are really eye opening. These netizens online are despicable."No one replied to him. Jed glanced at Eric. His mood is only always this terrible when dealing with a matter involving Scarlett.To think that he and Ben had thought he was just having a harmless crush on Scarlett back then at the hospital. This is clearly more than a harmless crush!"Seeing this only convinces me, if they somehow manage to get together, they will realize how unsuitable they are," He clicked his tongue."Jed, the news of the lawsuit between Meta Inc and Jetti's hasn't been made public yet. The netizens are actively looking for scoops. Wouldn't this be the best way to ride on the wave an
