“It's working, isn't it?” Smith muttered to himself and laughed mockingly after receiving a file inside his mailbox. Surprisingly, it was from the Rodriquez family. Once again, they were among the first few families that sent the pre-business proposal so fast. It's quite unbelievable. What did he expect from a desperate family like theirs?He wanted them to have a grasp of hope they were going to get the contract and then all of a sudden, it'll fall into someone's end. Maybe their enemy. That was what he faced. He was full of hope when he returned home with a diamond ring for his wife but he caught her cheating on him. She didn't feel remorseful for her shameful act, instead, she abused and mocked him. She even had divorce papers already in her wardrobe. Although he had healed from the pain and moved on, he couldn't stop remembering and that was the reason he was determined to make her family suffer. He was no longer the same poor and weak errand boy that he used to be. He had b
The next day, Smith woke up as the alarm blared out loudly. He groaned and reached out to the alarm clock after opening his eyes. He shut the alarm off and stood up from the bed with a cold look on his face. He pulled off his clothes and cropped them on the floor then approached the bathroom. He put on a flip-flop and walked into the bathroom. He breathed out in relief as he turned on the shower and stayed under the shower that rained down cold water on his body. He enjoyed the coldness of the water on his body. He turned it off and entered the bathtub that had already been filled with warm water. He reached out to the soap and sponge and then began to scrub his delicate skin. He came out of the bathtub after he was done bathing. He walked out of the bathroom with a hotel wrapped around his waist. He pulled off the towel and walked up to his wardrobe. He pulled out a black tuxedo suit and chinos. He wore it and reached out to the golden Rolex watch on the table. He was about to
“Fired?” The receptionist, Alessia, asked in a weak tone. The vice president, Victoria, frowned and glared at her viciously. “I'm sure you're not deaf, Alessia, so pack all of your belongings and leave before I call the security guards on you.”“You're no longer needed in this company,” she said in a hoarse tone and Alessia's heart shook in fear. “Please don't do that to me. I won't do it again, ma'am,” Alessia said and fell on her knees. “That's too late. You should have thought of the repercussions of your action before looking down on her,” she said in a cold tone and Alessia shook her head with a sigh. She fought back the tears that threatened to pour down from her eyes. She knew that her life was going to be doomed if she left the company on a bad note. They would not only pay her this month's salary but they were also going to make sure she didn't get any official job from any company. She would be blacklisted. Getting blacklisted was the last thing she needed in her life
Smith turned to his step-brother, Jayden, who stared at him with a smirk on his face. Although he noticed something fishy about his brother's behavior, he didn't take it to heart. He chose to ignore it and pretend it never happened. “Have a nice day brother,” Jayden said and tapped on his shoulder then walked into the conference room. “You!” He muttered with a cold look on his face and bit on his lower lips. He wished he could break his brother's nose and make him pay for disrespecting him but he had to comfort himself because of the presence of the board members and directors who were present in the hall. He shrugged and walked into the conference hall with a cold look on his face. He arched his eyebrows as his gaze landed on the men in suits, who were present in the conference hall. They were probably the board members and directors as his father had said. He couldn't find any staff apart from the higher official who wouldn't dare to trifle with him. “Good morning, Young Mast
“My business qualification?” Smith asked with a confused look on his face, wondering why the man was asking him such a question. “Yes. You're going to be the chairman of their corporation very soon so we need to know whether you're qualified for the post or not,” the bald man, Mr. Alex, said and he scoffed inwardly. “Whether I'm qualified for the job?” He asked with a confused look, unable to understand the man's question. It seemed he was driving somewhere but he couldn't tell where the man was driving to. “Don't get me wrong, Young Master. I don't have the right to question you, I feel we should know how good and proficient you are in this business field. I'm sure you must be a business guru, isn't it?” Mr. Alex asked and flashed a cunning smile that he didn't fail to notice. Smith nodded his head and stroked his hand on his chin with a calm look on his face. He ignored the look on the face of the man standing before him. The man had something up his sleeves but he couldn't te
“Huh?” Smith muttered and stared at the man with a confused look but he looked away as though he was guilty of something. “Are you sure of what you're saying?” Smith asked in a demanding tone and the man shook his head. “What else do you need, Young Master? Statistically, sportswear will win,” the man said and Smith chuckled coldly. “That's fine if you say so,” Smith replied in a cold tone. “It's such a shame that a dropout like you wants to compete with someone like me with a master's in business administration.”“Don't try me next time, brother. You tried and I appreciate your efforts but you can't come close to my level,” Jayden said and laughed mockingly. “That's enough,” Mr. Adonis slammed his fist on the table and they fell silent. None of them dared to talk after noticing how angry he was. Nobody wanted to be on his bad side at that moment because he wouldn't hesitate to tear that person apart. “You should learn how to speak to your brother, Jayden. I thought I'd told yo
“You're my problem. Aren't you?” Jayden asked and chuckled then moved closer to Smith, who didn't pay attention to the smirk on his face. “What do you want?” Smith asked. “I don't want anything from you. I just wanted to have a peaceful chat with my brother. Is that something bad to ask for? That's what my father said. Isn't it?” He asked and Smith scoffed. “I'll leave if you have nothing else to say because I'd rather spend my time on productive matters than on you,” he said, and Jayden grunted. “That hurts,” Jayden said and chuckled. “It's funny to see you talking to me in that manner,” he added. “It seems you don't have anything to say. Have a nice day, brother,” Smith said coldly and twisted the knob of the door. “How was today's interview?” Jayden asked and he froze on the spot. He released his hand from the knob of the door and turned to the man before him. “What are you saying?” He asked and Jayden looked away. “Judging from your expression, I bet you love it. That's a
“That's fine. I understand you. You can't have a dropout as a Chairman of your corporation. It's understandable,” Smith said and his father shook his head with a sigh. “Please don't misunderstand me,” his father tried to convince him but he didn't listen. He had already made up his mind. “I understand, Dad. That's why I want to leave,” he said and his father stared at him with a confused look. “Leave? To where?” He asked. “To somewhere that I'm needed,” he said and dropped the car key on the table then walked out of his office with a cold look on his face. “You can't walk out of my office that way. Come back here, son,” his father called him but he ignored him and pretended as though he didn't hear him. He didn't want to have anything to do with his dad at that moment. It was obvious that his father didn't trust his ability. He chose Jayden who had a master's in business administration. What was he expecting anyway?He bit on his lower lips and clenched his fist with an angry l
