Once they got to Eckre Empire Headquarters, the two went to the large foyer to talk to the receptionist. Once this receptionist confirmed them, they were led to the floor where the project manager was waiting for them.Once they got to the designated floor, they quickly found the room and the project manager waiting for them. With a huge smile on his face, Edgar introduced himself to the project manager. Edgar didn’t bother introducing the sexy lady he brought with him, and the project manager also didn’t bother asking about her name.“It is so nice to meet you.” Edmund couldn’t help but gush slightly. “I never thought that Eckre Empire Headquarters would finally accept the contract we had failed to get approved.”The project manager smiled professionally. “Of course, it wouldn’t have been possible if Miss Lola Blaine hadn’t presented us with some impressive presentations. I was really impressed with the way she delivered the introduction to the proposal back then.” The man began gla
Lola was surprised at what she just heard. “Mr. Porsche?!” She had to be sure it was him she was talking to, so she checked the caller ID once again. “Mr. Porsche, please, slow down. What is going on?”“Miss Blaine, I am currently at Eckre Empire Headquarters with the project manager you secured the contract deal with.” Edmund was at a corner of the meeting room as he whispered into the phone. He glanced back to the couch to find the project manager looking quite impatient. “The project manager has refused to start this meeting without you. He was speaking through gritted teeth. He hated that he had to beg Lola, of all people, for help. Alas, he had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, he would ruin this contract deal and might even have it canceled. “I need you here as soon as……” Edmund wasn’t sure what he was hearing as he listened to the sudden beep sounds coming from the call. Lola was no longer on the other end of the call. “Did this woman just hang up on me?”Meanwhile, Miles
Eden Raven, the same tall and muscular man who was old friends with Miles, stood before the very man in a gatekeeper's outfit.“What’s up, Buddy?” Eden replied with a smile before spreading his arms to look down at himself. “Yep! It’s me. Actually, the day you met me here, I lied when I said I was simply here to drop something for another company. I actually came to apply for a job. Since I don’t have much of a qualification, I could only get this job.” He looked down shyly. “I guess I was too embarrassed to tell you about it.”Miles sighed as he put away his sunglasses before holding Eden’s chiseled face with both hands. “Yo! We’ve been the best of friends for so long, and yet, you’re hesitant to tell me things honestly just because it’s been a while? Tell me, do you still consider me a friend?”It was quite a funny sight as Eden’s face was squished between Miles’s palms as he nodded. “You don’t even need to doubt that.”“Good, then.” Miles nodded his head as well. “So be honest with
Fisher glared at the two in their feet, not even bothering to offer them a seat. “You two should be utterly ashamed of yourselves, as I am ashamed of you both as your superior. Do you know that those apprehended security guards have confessed?” Without a request for explanation from either of the standing men, he opened his laptop and turned the screen to the two men.Fear gripped both Edmund and the head of security as they watched those security guards confessing that it was all Edmund’s plan, and he had been working closely with the head of security guards to incriminate Miles and have him locked up for the rest of his life. They then also confessed that Edmund was also behind the slander dealt to Lola – the false rumor about Miles giving his wife to Fisher for power.The two men couldn’t even say anything as they fell straight to their knees.Edmund looked at Fisher. “Mr. McCall, I’ll have to plead with you to let this matter go. If you do this, I promise that I can talk to the hi
Before either Edmund or the head of security guards could retort, Miles walked over to deliver a brutal slap to the head of security guards’ face. The older man groaned as he wobbled to the side. The pain on his face made him furious and he balled his fist as he turned a heated glare at Mike’s.“How dare you slap me?!” He suddenly got up on his feet and he aimed a punch at Miles’s face.Miles saw this coming and he quickly swerved to the left, avoiding it without much expression on his face. He then held the man’s wrist before delivering a ruthless punch of his own to the man’s stomach. The head of security guards groaned out and hunched over the punch as he felt extreme pain rush through his abdomen. He fell right back to his knees as soon as Miles let him go.Miles looked down at the man now on his knees. “I dare you to attempt another strike at me.”The head of security guards cowered as he scurried behind Edmund with fear. He had no idea Miles was this strong. If he had been told
Edmund was too stunned and his brain couldn’t function properly for a while. He could only stare at Miles dumbly as his brain was processing very slowly.Edmund began recalling on everything he knew about Miles. He recalled that Miles had managed to get that $300,000 for his daughter’s treatment. He had told his wife that he didn’t get it as a loan from dangerous gang members. Was he telling the truth then? He realized with shock that Miles was properly the invisible hand raising his wife through the ranks in the company. However, it had to be made clear that Lola had earned every single success She had gotten so far. She only needed help with dealing with people like Edmund who were trying to bring her down through horrible means.Wind couldn’t believe it. This whole time, he had been offending a very powerful man.The head of security, on the other hand, quickly accepted this sudden truth. “Chairman Miles!” He had almost bowed down to Miles, shocking the three other men in the offic
Miles straightened in his seat. “This is the punishment you will bear. As long as you work as a staff of Styleon Group Corporation, you will not be able to avoid them.” He allowed a moment of silence to pass so that his words could sink into the two culprit’s heads. “You two would no longer be at the rank you currently are from now on.” He pointed at the head of security guards. “You! From now on, you will be nothing more than a junior worker at this company. Also, you’re no longer a security guard but a gatekeeper. Therefore, you should never be seen inside the company building ever again. By the end of today, you are expected to join your new coworkers outside of this building, as you will be working at the gates.”“Chairman! Please, no!” The former head of security had tears at the edges of his eyes as he began pleading miserably. The security officers of Styleon Group Corporation had always looked down upon the gatekeepers as the former worked inside the building while the latter
Lola had never expected to find Edmund and the head of security guards kneeling outside the company building. “Mr. Porsche, what are you doing kneeling by the company’s entrance?” Edmund was deeply ashamed when he saw the way Lola was looking at him. “Lola, beg your husband. Look, I’m sorry for everything I did to you.”The former head of security guards tried to ask for Lola’s help but Wind quickly shut him up.Lola shook her head at the two. “I don’t know why you guys are being punished by kneeling here, but I have something to say.” She bravely looked at Edmund in the eyes. “Mr. Porsche, you are nothing but a worthless scum! How could you do that to me?! You were the one who forced that project contract upon me as a major task to pass my probation period. That was very unethical of you, and I should have reported you long ago. Yet, I kept quiet for the sake of peace. You have no idea what I went through to secure that contract with Eckre Empire Headquarters. Yet, you shamelessly t
