Return of the son-in-law

Chapter Seven

Klaus sneers before he approached the receptionist, he gave Mr. Harold a little respect, but he tossed to the ground, now he single-handedly dig his grave.

If he kept ridiculing him, Klaus wouldn't have said anything, but he dare mention his wife with his fetid mouth.

‘I will show him what happens when you dance in front an hungry lion’

Klaus stride to Harold, he caught up with him, Harold turns seeing Klaus was standing beside him. He shrugged his shoulder talking to the receptionist.

The receptionist recognized Klaus immediately, he has been showed a picture of the new CEO by Lady Helen. She didn't want Klaus to face any issues when coming and she was also trying to give a good impression.

The receptionist was about speaking when Klaus wave his fingers telling him not to utter anything. The receptionist was Sharp to understanding. He confirmed Mr. Harold appointment. “Sir, this way” he pointed to the elevator.

Harold shook his head, the receptionist was talking to Klaus, not him. He slam the wall guard with his palm.

“Are you insane, don't you know your work!” he roars. The receptionist look at Harold, puzzled by his words.

“How can you let this bushman follow me on the same lift” he points to Klaus. The receptionist shook his head, looking at Harold.

“Can't you see his outfit, this man is from the dumpster, what kind of logic does Ricky company use, you let an important guest compact with an inferior being” he slams the front desk again, his voice was loud and starting to attract others.

The receptionist wanted to fire back, but he saw Klaus signals.

“If you are not ready Harold, I will leave then” Klaus approached the lift.

“you!” Harold points to Klaus, he folds his palm, screaming. “Shit!”

“You will be punished, trust me, I will report this act to your superiors” Harold moved to the lift, but Klaus was already gone.

Klaus went to the top where the CEO office was located, he came out only to be greeted by Helen Freeman.

she bow immediately the elevator open.

Klaus has planned to scold her for not announcing the winner but seeing her respectful behavior. He swallowed the words, and she was even more beautiful on real ground. Her brown skin was glowing, and this dress was different from the one she used for the interview. This one tightly fit her slender body with all the curve visible.

Klaus shakes his mind, he shouldn't be staring at another woman.

“Welcome Mr. Marshall, please allow me to lead the way” she finally gazed to Klaus. She shocked that this handsome young face was the new CEO. She scans his clothes, everything was like how Steve explained it. The new master was a low-key individual.

Helen leads Klaus to his office. She stood by the door while Klaus enters, she redesigns this place to suit the new CEO. With Klaus looking around, she could tell he liked it.

Klaus turns to Helen, his face harden again, this scary Helen, she wonders if it was because of the designs.

“Harold Jerry is waiting for you at the guest room, Send the security to toss him out, tell him he is a rotten cabbage and incompetent to enter Ricky company” Helen eyebrow moved, at one glance she analyzed the CEO to be nice and cool headed. She could only think that somebody from the Jerry family must've offended him.

“I will carry out the orders now!” she bow her head. She turns to leave, but Klaus words stop her.

“From now on, Harold is banned from this building, Ricky company will never do business with the Jerry family again. Do you understand!” Klaus points to her.

“I understand” she bows before she left.

**

Harold was busy operating his phone, the door badge open, he gazed to see if it was Helen Freeman, the secretary to the CEO of Ricky company.

Harold was shocked when he saw the security, he stood up immediately.

“there must be a problem” he thought. His mind swings to Klaus, maybe he has done something stupid and he told them they knew each other. His face squeezed.

“I will kill that bastard” he strides to the security.

the security man, Jack warrior grip Harold by the trouser. Harold eyes shoot opened.

“What is the meaning of this. Do you know who I am—” before he could finish that statement, jack smashed his palm on his face twice.

Harold face turn red. The slap was so hot that he lost conscious of his surrounding.

“The....... Jerry family” Harold manages to complete his words.

“I don't care who you are, you are a rotten cabbage and incompetent to enter the Ricky company” the other men seized Harold hands. They pulled him on the ground to the stairs.

Jack threw Harold to the dumpster outside. Harold crumbles on the floor.

"Fetid" Jack and his hefty men bounce inside.

Harold eyes were turning as he was seeing countless stars, he couldn't help but think about Klaus, these were the same words he said to him. Couldn't it be Klaus knows Helen Freeman.

Harold wash that thought away quickly, there is no way that Bushman would know a rare goddess like Helen Freeman. But he couldn't help but wonder why he was kicked out, his head was swollen forming three buns.

The news that Harold was kicked out from Ricky company spread fast across South Cherry. It was the talk in the neighborhood and even in the Baker family.

Harold arrived an hour later, he changed his outfit and even apply some makeup to hide the little cuts on his face.

he enters the Baker villa, he was welcome with honor, Harold pretends like nothing happened. The reason he went to Ricky company was to get a deal for lady Baker, but since he got none, he decided to play a quick trick that wouldn't bring his face down.

“Welcome Mr. Harold” they welcome him. “Have a seat” Mrs. Baker said. Harold nods before he sat down. He relaxed comfortably on the armchair.

“I am sorry, I couldn't get a deal for you Mrs. Baker, lady Helen says most of the remaining deal were given to the Jerry and the winner of the bidders, but she promised to contact me as soon anything show up” Mrs. Baker nods, “Good!, it doesn't matter if you didn't get any deal. As long as we have you on our side, we have anything to be scared of” she gently arrange her words.

"Haha" Harold laughed. “Definitely, definitely” he moved his head. Although Mrs. Baker wasn't happy with Harold lying without hesitating, but she has to endure it, she still needs Harold not to mention their family connection too.

Harold was an asset, she was going to treasure for long and since Klaus has made those statements, she was excited Clara will soon be getting married to Harold. with that, the Baker family will surge forward in the social ladder poll.

“Brother Harold, do you need anything” Richard asked.

“No!, not actually” Harold spots Clara at the corner, she was probably hiding her face, too bad light can never hide inside darkness.

“Is that the Baker goddess, Clara!” he adjusted himself. Mrs. Baker smirked when he spots Clara. They had force to come listen to Mr. Harold announcement, too bad Harold messed up.

Clara remind silence, she didn't look at him.

“Clara didn't you hear brother Harold calling” Richard spoke up for his mother.

Clara looks at them, she stands to approach the door, she was taking her leave since they weren't important things to discuss.

“Clara, don't you dare move an inch, stay right there” Mrs. Baker stopped her.

Harold grins, seeing lady Baker Still got control over this goddess.

“Brother Harold is calling you and dare to leave” Mrs. Baker raised her voice.

“Mother, it is nothing, I kind of like her stubborn attitude, this is definitely my type” Harold licks his lips.

“Mom, I have something doing before you guys brought me here” Clara complains, but her voice wasn't heard, instead Harold low voice was heard.

“If I could hang out with the goddess for one day, I give out some of the Jerry deals to the Bakers” Harold looks at Mrs. Baker. Her cheeks bounce up immediately she heard it, she adjusted herself on the armchair.

“Clara did you hear what brother Harold is going to do just to spend sometime alone with you” Mrs. Baker gaze to Clara.

She was the center of topic and she was standing in the middle of the room.

“Mom, I am married and besides do you think Mr. Harold has the power to give us some of their deals” Clara frowns looking at Harold, how can they believe a professional liar.

“Shut your mouth Clara, keep it close” Mrs. Baker lashes out.

“What Good has Klaus ever done to this family, rather he scavenges from us, look at Brother Harold, he comes from a prominent family, and he ready to spend so much just to hang out with you!” Mrs. Baker glare at Clara, the little girl was trying to ruin her plans. They can't afford to offend Harold today.

“You pick which is better, Harold who spend without hesitation or Klaus who collects without brakes” Harold giggles when he heard that, he relaxed again on the armchair.

Hearing Klaus name was hurting his ear, but seeing lady Baker handling the situation butter his heart. He looks at Clara, ‘soon, you will be mine’

“Klaus doesn't tell lies mom!, don't be deceived by his fluttering words, he just an empty vessel” Clara glare at Harold.

Harold stands up immediately, he wanted to teach Clara a lesson. Mrs. Baker was ready to plead when somebody shouted at the corner.

Everybody eyes drift to the direction, he stood up, walking to Mrs. Baker. “Ricky official just made an announcement” Richard saw the notification too since he was subscribed to their social media handle.

Mrs. Baker collect the phone, her eyes teared opened immediately. She looks at Harold before facing the phone again. Clara rush to her mother, she checked the news then she read it out.

“Ricky company will never do business with the Jerry family again and anybody who stays in contact or partnership with the Jerry family will be put on the Ricky company black list”

Everybody eyes drift to Harold. Harold shivered a little, he pulled himself together quickly. “What nonsense, who post such rubbish, I bet it's one of those foolish people looking for views” Harold shrugged looking at the Mrs. Baker.

The place was quiet after Clara read the post, being on the black list means they will never get cooperation opportunity from Ricky company.

Mrs. Baker eyebrows pushed down. She looks at Richard.

“kick this madman out from here!” she points Harold.

Harold eyes teared open, “Mrs. Baker, what the meaning—” before he could finish his statement.

Richard and other boys from the Baker family grip his hands. Harold tries to struggle, but they seized him immediately.

“Get him out! quickly, get this Crap out immediately” Mrs. Baker bakes.

Harold was shocked, his heart was pounding, how could lady Baker turn her back on him because of some fake news.

Richard pushed him out, they shut the door immediately. Harold bakes from outside.

“You are done Mrs. Baker, fetid Baker family!!, your pleading won't save you this time, I will deal with guys!, all of you” Harold turns furiously. His rage was bursting out from his body.

Countless notification sounded, Harold opened his phone only to see tons of unseen emails, texts, and phone calls from his business partners.

The message were all the same, they all want out, they all withdraw their contracts. This was heart slacking to Harold, his palms were soaked, he couldn't move his screen properly.

he could feel his heart beat on his head region. ‘What is this, what is going on’ Harold legs were shaking, he was the most confused being on earth now. His phone ringing tone sounded, Harold pick it seeing it was his family.

“Father—” Harold was interrupted by the thunderous voice of his father.

“How dare tarnish the family name with your hole you call a mouth!!”

“Who did you offend you bastard!, who did you spit nonsense to kid, who!! Did you mess with, you are dead kid!, you are fcking dead!!”

“I did... nothing dad” Harold finally got a chance to talk.

“Shut your mouth boy, Don't ever call this line again, just pray I don't catch you before I disown you, cause if I do, I will feed you to the pythons”

“Dad!” Harold legs crumble to the ground, his nose covers with running liquid.

“Just pray I don't catch you!!” his father end the call. Harold rolls on the floor crying, he has lost everything, his pride his face, there was nothing to live for.

Harold cries louder, even the Baker family were tired of the noise he was making.
