"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

"I'm one step away from becoming deputy director at BlueLux, but your presence is ruining everything. You're such a pesky, disgusting, useless bearer. You're trash! I hate you so much. Why should I know you? Oh, I didn't expect to be talking to you even now!"Sophie continued to rant, venting her frustration. Jack, on the other hand, remained silent without saying anything. Of course, Jack's attitude made Sophie even more annoyed. "Did you become mute after destroying my career?! If you hadn't come that night, I would've gotten closer to my dream. I wouldn't have had such a disaster! Gosh, I thought you were a nice and innocent guy before. But apparently, you even instigated my boss to be bad to me. Now, you must take responsibility. Fix all the things you broke, brat!"Jack looked at the floor as he swallowed along with his anger. He gave Sophie a sharp look. "Think about it, who am I to influence him?" he retorted in a low voice.Sophie didn't move. Her logic was jolted by Jack's q

In the late afternoon, Jack came out of King Pizza. Claire was about to take a taxi home and asked him to go home first because she still had some things to finish. Jack took a different route. To be more precise, he didn't go straight home because he wanted to stop by the First Style clothing store. He wanted to see the atmosphere of the store after being led by the new manager. Oh or did he actually want to meet the manager?Jack smiled remembering Audrey who had been very warm to him, even though she was just a 'pizza delivery person'. He looked briefly at the paper bag hanging on the handlebar of the bike.It didn't take long for him to reach the First Style store. Jack took the paper bag off the bike. He smelled it as he walked towards the main door of the shop. 'Victor is a pizza expert. He praised his friend who was in charge of making pizzas at King Pizza.The shopkeeper bowed respectfully to Jack, "Welcome, happy shopping, sir."Jack smiled and entered. The guard's treatmen

In her unstoppable rage, Audrey almost blurted out who Jack was. She only realized after hearing Jack clear his throat.Now, Audrey was really caught in a difficult situation. Especially when Lady pressed her."Who is this pizza delivery guy anyway?! A conglomerate? An official? A ruler? Hahaha, I'll faint if that's true!""He-he's ...." Audrey's sentence hung because she was still thinking about the rest."You can't defend him, can you? It's not easy because there's nothing to be proud of in that loser! All he has is a big zero!" Mary pointed at Jack's face who remained calm."Stop pointing at him, Miss. If you ladies object to Jack being here, you can leave. The exit door is still the same as the door you entered earlier."Lady and Mary turned to each other. Both frowned, unhappy with Audrey's words."You're kicking us out just for this trashy guy! Hahaha, what a pity for this shop owner. He chose an amateur manager and let Nathalie go. Though I can guarantee, this guy won't buy any
