Reign of the Heir Chapter 16
Jack parked James' car in the Big Roodgrup parking lot. He smiled remembering how the BlueLux hotel guard had intercepted him to get in that night. The same thing would have happened to him if he had come to this big company on a bike. In this place, the security guards even stood guard at the front gate. Let alone getting into the building, parking a bike in the company premises was difficult.'It's a good thing Claire took these things from James, otherwise I would've made Matthew run to the front gate.'Jack got out of the car. He looked at the huge and tall Big Roodgrup building. He didn't know how many floors the building had, but it was all his.Jack closed his eyes before taking a deep breath. "The air here is so fresh.""Of course!"Jack turned his head back to see who it was that interrupted him. And he was right, it was Sophie's annoying boyfriend. He exhaled with a sour face."Hey, you said the air was fresh, why are you so upset?" David walked over to Jack. "Oh, I know, it

David seemed to recognize the voice. His face turned pale as he heard it. "Who is it? He sounds so angry."David turned around. He gulped at the sight of the man who was hurrying towards him. Then, something unexpected happened.SMACK!Jack covered his mouth with both hands. He hissed as he saw David's cheeks turn red from the hard slap. "That must have hurt.""Why did you hit me, Sir?""You're still asking! You left your job just like that. Where did you go?"The angry man was the head of the personnel department. He was tall and bulky with dark-colored skin."I-I went out to greet Young Master Roodenburg.""What?!" The man's voice rose. "Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are? Only the correspondence staff and you think you can welcome Young Master?!"David turned to Jack to see his expression. David's face looked very troubled. He was trying so hard to make Jack feel insecure."Mr. Matthew even stayed in his room to work. Now, return to your room. Finish your work if

Jack shook his head vigorously as he spoke, his voice strained with disbelief. "David, do you honestly believe that this gentleman is so naive that he can't distinguish between truth and falsehood? I was astounded when I witnessed him exiting the very room you claimed to be yours earlier."'Bastard! This loser!' David's jaw hardened at the pizza delivery guy's insulting lick. He wanted to slap Jack right then and there, but first shifted his gaze to the man in the white coat. Then, he began to swallow.Before the wrath broke out, David denied, "Mr. Ben, don't take his word for it. I thought he was here to offer me a lunch package, but it turns out he was out for revenge. He beat me to a pulp the other day, and my girlfriend came to King Pizza to teach him a lesson. If you doubt me, you can call the manager.""That’s not true."The man whose full name was Ben Braxton immediately turned to look at Jack."Wh-what do you mean?" he demanded.Jack casually replied, "Sir, I'm not here to off

"What's wrong with you? Why are you showing such a decline in IQ? Gosh, no one would think that someone like you would ever be the manager of this place!"The cursing was heard loudly outside the room. Some of the employees who happened to be passing in front of the room turned their heads toward the door. They clearly wanted to know who had angered the Head of Human Resources."I-I didn't mean to, sir.""That's the point! You don't even understand that what you're doing is like digging your own grave. If you obey my wishes, I will give you a letter of dismissal today.""Sir, I beg you, don't do that. Give me just one chance to prove that I'm still worthy of working at Big Roodgroup.""You mean prove that you're much more of an idiot than this? I-"Before the man could finish his sentence, the phone rang. He seemed to take a deep breath before picking it up."Hello, yes it is. Are you sure, sir? Okay."The Head of Human Resources hung up the phone. He straightened his suit before sitt

David pressed his lips together to suppress his emotions. There was a taste of coffee that he accidentally tasted. He wiped his face, which was wet from the coffee spouted from Jack's mouth. It was obvious that his hands were shaking. However, this time it wasn't out of fear, but out of anger.'Disgusting!'‘That kind of hobo's spit might carry tetanus!’Unfortunately, David didn't get a chance to express his displeasure. In fact, just as his eyes opened, Matthew's attack had already begun."What did you put in the cup?! I asked you to make coffee. If you can't, you can tell the Head of Human Resources. Damn, you're embarrassing me!""Mr. Matthew, -I, I just-""Putting in instant coffee and brewing it? I'm sorry to make your face wet, but I'm allergic to instant coffee. It'll make my head spin." Jack held his head before sitting on the cushioned chair.It was the most illogical excuse David had ever heard. 'It's coffee, not cyanide!"Look, you made a big mistake. Now clean up your mes

Claire stood in front of Jack's boarding house. She had to tilt her head because it was like she was looking at a different boarding house.It was still the same size, but there were two chairs and a table in front of it. In addition, there were many plants decorating it. The most striking thing was the paint. It was like the only colored flower among the black and white pictures."Is this Jack's boarding house?" Claire looked around to make sure. "Everything in this place is exactly the same. Only this boarding house is different."Claire raised her hand to knock on the door. However, a hand suddenly tapped her shoulder.Claire stood on tiptoe clutching her chest. As she turned around, her eyes widened to see Ross behind her.Claire's reaction was not without reason. She knew for a fact that Ross was a very fierce housemother. Her attitude and words were not much different from James Bing's. Let alone Jack, she had also become Ross's tantrum because her friend (Jack) paid the bill la

When Jack and Claire arrived at King Pizza, both of them looked at each other. There was obvious fear in Claire's eyes. She even held Jack's arm after getting off the bike.Besides Jack's bike, there were several motorcycles and a car parked there. Jack knew for sure that the thing that scared his friend was the car that David Guillon had washed yesterday.'I guessed it right, that damn guy was waiting!'Jack nodded and stroked Claire's hand. "Everything will be fine.""My feeling is getting worse now. I'm sure James is already planning something bad.""Of course! Bad people always think the bad things. Calm down."Jack took Claire by the hand to lead her into the shop. As soon as the door opened, James Bing's sly smile greeted them."Welcome losers!" James stood proudly. He was wearing the most expensive suit he had specially for this 'resurrection' day. With both hands stuffed into his pants pockets, he walked over. "Claire, look down."Jack and Claire looked at James' feet which we

"Who's coming?" Claire came forward to follow Jack. She held her head. "Damn Bastard! What else would she come here for?! Well, I’ll handle this and please just stay here. Let me kick her out.""Claire." Jack scratched his itchy head as Claire ignored his call and walked to the front of the shop. He briefly stunned to think whether it was better to come forward or let his friend take care of the problem. "You can't come in. Can't you see that the shop isn't open yet?" Claire's voice was faintly heard.A breath escaped Jack's mouth. 'Let it be, I'd better go to the kitchen before a war breaks out.' He made a wise decision. There was no point in him coming out now. Instead, he would only be the referee later.As Jack walked back, a woman's voice began to reply to Claire's words in the courtyard of the shop."I saw an employee flipping that board over earlier. How rude! A customer comes in, and instead of being welcomed, he deliberately rejected my arrival. Then a witch came out and go
