Return of the Big Boss: Secretly A Billionaire Heir 42
“Sorry, your payment has been declined.” None of them reacted at first as no one expected that, but a couple of seconds later, they all came to their senses. Max’s brows knitted in confusion while the attendant's worried look eased. Meanwhile, Vivi and Greg gave one another pleased looks as they stiffened their mocking laughter. Only July had an angry look on her face as she felt embarrassed. “Let me retry.” The attendant spoke up, clearly relieved. “Maybe there was an error.” Although everyone knew it was probably an insincere attempt to further embarrass Max. After all, how could the system make a mistake? She swiped the card again, and sure enough, that same mechanical voice rang out again. She was about to put it in again when Vivi suddenly snorted and laughed, folding her arms, “Don’t bother. You can try all day and it won’t work. Didn’t I tell you he’s as broke as a church rat?” The attendant smiled, and she turned to Max, regaining her condescending look. “Maybe you gave t

July folded her arms, a smug smile playing on her lips. "We caught him red-handed, and when we asked him to pay up, he couldn’t. The attendant was ready to call the cops on him, but then you walked in."She seemed pleased with herself and kept looking at Alexa’s face to gauge her reaction. After all, no woman would be happy to hear that the man she brought to such an upscale store tried to steal. She expected Alexa to lash out, yell at Max, maybe even storm out in embarrassment. Although she actually knew Max was not the type to steal; he was the holier than thou type and would not do something like that. She just wanted to mess with him.But to her surprise, Alexa looked like she heard something ridiculous and looked toward the attendant. “Max would never do something like that. Could it be a misunderstanding?” Luxe also shot a sharp look at her. "Tell me exactly what happened. How did the tux I specifically put on the rack end up in this mess?" The attendant, now visibly nervous,

July's eyes widened as the rip echoed through the room. For a second, she just stared at the fabric in her hand, disbelief washing over her face. Then, like a switch flipping, she jumped at Alexa, blurting out, "It's not me!"Alexa raised an eyebrow, momentarily stunned before letting out a cold laugh. "Are you serious right now? You were the one yanking at the dress. If it's not you, who is it? Me?""I said it's not me!" July retorted, bent on not taking the blame. She had merely wanted to feel out what was between Alexa and Max a little and intimidate Alexa while at it. She was absolutely not prepared to get in trouble while at it."You know what?" Alexa shook her head and laughed. "I won't bother arguing with you."She scoffed like she thought July was nothing but a joke before walking past her. July was stunned at first but quickly recollected herself and shouted, "Where are you running off to? You were the one who took the dress in the first place? How dare you try to leave it f

The person who spoke was a young lady in pink at the forefront of the group. When Alexa looked over, she quickly slipped her hand into the arm of the man beside her. The man in question looked at Alexa and seemed a bit flustered even though he managed to look calm. Alexa gave a light scoff at this, which Max noticed, and he glanced at her face before looking at the faces of the people in the group with a scrutinizing look in his gaze. There was only one man in the group, and when the girls saw him look over, they all began to stare at him intently with giggly eyes and whispering amongst themselves about how handsome he was. He didn’t recognize any of the faces but recalled that the girl at the front called Alexa, ‘sister’. Albeit, it was devoid of any sincerity. The girl in question faced her group of friends and said in an excited tone, “This is my sister, Alexa.” Her friends looked at Alexa’s face and gave her strange looks before looking at the face of the man Alexa scoffed at e

The sound of wine hitting the marble floor echoed as Alexa stood still, her maroon dress soaked but showing no visible stain. Her eyes hardened, jaw tightening as she glanced down at the mess.Max stepped closer, concern in his voice, "Are you okay?" He offered her his handkerchief.Without a word, she sidestepped him, her gaze locking onto the girl who had dared to spill the wine. In one smooth motion, she grabbed a full glass from a passing waiter’s tray and, with a sharp sneer, tossed the wine straight into the girl's face.Gasps filled the surroundings, but Alexa wasn't done. She grabbed another glass and splashed it all over Sabrina’s light pink dress, the wine staining it instantly.Afterward, the entire place went silent. With all that splashing, it was inevitable that they had caught the attention of everyone in the surroundings. But thankfully, they were some distance from the front of the hall, so it didn't disrupt the ongoing banquet.But regardless, it was still rude to ca

The meeting room was already filled with people by the time Max walked in, and even Noah and Lauren were already seated. Soon, the rest of the people involved came, and the meeting began. Since it was Max who called the meeting, he directly took charge. "Good afternoon, everyone." Max started, picking up the tablet where he had neatly drafted his points. “This meeting is to discuss—”A loud scoff suddenly cut through the air, and Lauren leaned back in her chair, arms crossed. "How about you get straight to the point? We don't need this unnecessary show of words. Who knows what CEO Lawson was thinking when he got a newbie like you on the job?"Everyone went silent once she spoke, and some sniggered under their breath at her words. Several eyes fell on Max, and he could sense the mockery in them from several miles away. Majorly, it was because most of them were intimidated by Lauren, and no one liked Max, who suddenly came out of nowhere and got to be Noah's manager, albeit he was an

"Are you sure we don't need to inform them in advance?" One of the legal team members asked the team leader as they pulled in front of a small house.The team leader shook his head. "Even if we did, they wouldn't agree to meet us. The victim's father is quite arrogant. Otherwise, why would I bring you to discuss the compensation and settlement at their home and not at the company."In the car, Max looked out of the window, and his gaze briefly surveyed the house ahead. After a couple of seconds, he took out his phone to take a picture, which attracted the attention of the rest of the people in the car. Several of them nudged one another uncomfortably, and someone even asked the team leader in a low voice, "Team leader, why is he here with us?""Yes. Why did a manager tag along with us to discuss the settlement?"The team leader looked Max's way before shrugging. "Maybe he's just curious about how we'll handle things.""If he's curious, he'll find out when we're done. What's with the t

Silence enveloped the entire team, and they seemed at a loss as they looked at one another for suggestions. In the end, the youngest piped up, "Team leader, what do we do?"The team leader sighed. "Let's just go back for now and discuss an increase in the compensation.""Okay."And so, they all turned to return to the car whilst Max followed behind them languidly. But just then, out of the corner of his eyes, he sighted someone peeking out a window of the house directly beside it. He stopped walking instantly and looked that way. When the person realized that they were noticed, they quickly pulled the window blinds and retreated into the house.Max suddenly realized something - the neighbors seemed to be the gossipy type. Maybe they saw something?He directly turned to the group he came with and said languidly, "You can go ahead. I'm meeting up with a friend close by."They didn't seem to care whatever he did with himself anyway and merely gave noncommittal responses before leaving in
