Monday night, Jack was seen standing in front of the mirror in his boarding house. Ross had just installed the mirror a few days ago along with the other furniture. Jack scratched his forehead, which wasn't itchy. Again and again he grunted in annoyance. Actually, the man was ready to leave for the BlueLux Hotel for the meeting. However, the shadow of that dark night couldn't leave his head. Especially after his gaze shifted to the white coat Ross had hung on the wall. A breath escaped his mouth as well. Even though the suit had been cleaned of blood and drink stains, it didn't erase anything in his mind. Jack smiled bitterly. He held his cheeks as he continued to stare at his reflection in the mirror. Smack! He closed his eyes remembering Sophie slapping him hard in front of the King Pizza patrons. "No, that abomination will never happen to me again. It's all in the past. Even if I meet Sophie later, it won't affect me at all. She's not my person anymore." Jack linked the butto
Sophie stopped in her tracks when she noticed a very familiar man getting into a scuffle with one of the guests. Her eyebrows knitted together as she watched the man. And, when the security guard was about to pull the man away, Sophie’s eyes immediately widened."Jack? What's that punk doing here?"Sophie walked quickly towards her ex. Her chest felt so full of anger that her blood seemed to almost boil. She remembered how Jack had hurt David. 'I warned him, but he came to make trouble!' Sophie clenched her hands itching to slap Jack.When she was one step behind Jack, her hand quickly pulled Jack's collar so hard that he staggered."Sophie," Jack hissed after turning around.SLAP!Sophie unceremoniously rewarded her ex with a hard slap, again!"Asshole! Why are you here?" Before the question was answered, Sophie already had her own answer. "Oh, I know, you must want to seek revenge, right? You came here to make a scene, didn't you? You brat!" Sophie grabbed Jack's shirt collar to sh
"He's the one we've been waiting for."Everyone's mouths gaped open enough to fit a goose egg in. Their minds were united in concluding one thing. However, everyone remained silent until Matthew actually said it."And he was late because Steve Shatner presumptuously told him to do something before. Are you tired of doing business on the Roodenburg Highway, Mr. SHATNER?"Obviously, all businessmen wanted the opportunity to do business in that area. It wasn't easy for Steve to get in there. "Is that mean…, h-he is Young Master from Roodenburg family?" Steve asked to reassure himself. From any angle, it seemed impossible that the guy who used to deliver pizza orders at his shop would suddenly become the successor of a conglomerate family."Absolutely!"Matthew's loud reply almost made Steve go limp. How could the man he was insulting be the one he wanted to meet the most?'That's the end of me!Too bad Steve didn't have time to pass out. He had to make amends for his fatal mistake befor
After her meeting with Jack last night, Sophie couldn't stop thinking about him. It definitely wasn't because she had feelings for Jack. Even when she was Jack's girlfriend, there wasn't the slightest bit of love from her for the pizza delivery boy.The annoying memory that couldn't leave Sophie's head was nothing but ingrained hatred. It was because of Jack that she was demoted from the position of hotel manager. If only Jack hadn't come and messed up last night, she would have gotten credit from Michael for the smooth running of the Roodenburg Highway business meeting. More than that, she would have had the opportunity to meet the grandson of the richest man in the country.'With my beauty, I can definitely impress Young Master Roodenburg. But that brat ruined everything! Not only did he make Mr. Michael send me home, he made me lose my promotion and my position!'Sophie clenched her fists under the table before letting out a long breath. She was pensive again. She was currently eat
"Are you deaf or something? I said it out loud, that start today you are a servant. If you object, you can write a letter of resignation. Of course I will immediately grant it WITHOUT severance pay!"James tried hard not to faint. His eyes were wide. He thought hard. 'There's no way I'm quitting King Pizza. Here I'm earning a lot of money from a job that's not hard at all. I can relax during working hours, I can scold the employees without retaliation, I can inflict any punishment on them. I can earn extra money very easily by deducting their salaries from the mistakes I make.'James swallowed hard. He was breathing hard even though he had been standing still."How about it James? Are you going to obey my orders or get out of here?"James turned to the employees. His jaw hardened as many of the employees seemed to be expecting him to quit King Pizza. 'I'm not just going to let them go!"Yes sir, I will." James bowed low.Steve laughed. "Good, good.""But sir, who's going to replace
"I-I'll get some gloves first." After all, James wasn't willing to get his hands dirty with that disgusting garbage.Jack spluttered. "Is your body that weak? Come on Mr. James, you won't get sick just from touching the trash directly. Besides, the supply of gloves for cleaning the toilets ran out two months ago. Have you forgotten, you yourself banned employees from using gloves to clean the toilets. You said that gloves should only be used in the kitchen. The shop has provided antiseptic soap and paper towels to clean hands."'What a jerk! This loser is a real asshole!' James could only curse inwardly. He never thought he would be in this position. That's why the only thing on his mind was how to cut the shop's operating costs so that the budgeted funds could go into his own pocket.James pressed his lips together as he reached out to pick up the trash from the barrel. He even held his breath in disgust.James started his work from a normal garbage can. He was relieved to see that i
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
