Charlie felt something was off. If they were employees of that company, they should know Charlie. When they met Charlie, they should greet him, right?But they didn’t do that.“Are you... employees of Enigma Enterprises?” Charlie couldn’t help but ask.As soon as Charlie said this, all the girls looked at him simultaneously.However, they all just glanced at Charlie. Then they turned their faces away and ignored Charlie.Charlie couldn’t contain his discomfort. How dare they ignore him! They didn’t even give him a decent glance!After that, a girl wearing formal work attire said, “We’re here to apply for the secretary position. Yesterday we passed the first test. Today we’ve come for the second stage.”All the other girls were dressed nicely and seductively, but only the girl who answered Charlie’s question was dressed very formally and politely. Very different from the other girls.Besides, of course, this girl was also beautiful. It’s just that the other girls had their faces made u
“Hahaha!”The other six girls covered their mouths to stifle their laughter. They were laughing at Estella.“By the way, you’re Estella Swartz, right? Do you know that you’re late?” The examiner stared at her.“Yes, Mr. Examiner. I’m Estella Swartz. The elevator was overloaded earlier. So, I gave my place to others. Then I ran up the stairs. So... that’s why I arrived late,” she replied, panting.“Don’t make excuses, being late is being late. Are you sure if you become an employee tomorrow, you won’t be late? Just leave. You failed the advanced exam!” the examiner said, waving his hand at her.“Mr. Examiner, please give me one more chance!” Estella Swartz pleaded.“I can’t. The work environment is strict. Go away!” The examiner waved at her.After Estella bowed to the examiner, she could only turn around and walk out disappointed.Estella thought that after she explained, the examiner would understand. But it turned out she was too optimistic.The other six girls in the room, who were
“Let me help. What can I do to help?” Estella suddenly stood up and walked up to Charlie.Charlie looked at her, smiling, and said, “Miss, there’s no benefit in helping me. Are you really willing to help?”“It’s okay, besides, this isn’t heavy. I often do household chores.” she smiled at Charlie.“In that case, you use this mop first, I’ll get another one.” Charlie handed the mop to Estella Swartz.The red-haired woman, Leli, who witnessed this couldn’t hold back a smile. “Miss, weren’t you almost disqualified earlier because of this kid, and now you’re helping him? Haven’t you learned from experience?”“Exactly, aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble again? What’s the point of bothering to help a miscellaneous worker like him?” said another woman wearing a short skirt.Charlie wasn’t angry. Instead, he looked at them and said with a smile, “Is there anything else you’d like to help with?”Charlie asked them again, as if he was giving them another chance!“Don’t dream! You don’t de
They still couldn’t believe what was happening.Yes, God, the office boy they previously teased, turned out to be the CEO of Enigma Enterprises?Right now, they felt as if struck by lightning. It felt like being doused with a bucket of ice water from head to toe. Their whole bodies felt numb!Charlie slowly walked to the front of the room. Then he placed his hand behind his back and said slowly, “Allow me to introduce myself, I’m not an office boy. My name is Charlie, CEO of Enigma Enterprises. Although we’ve met twice before, this time I want to formally introduce myself!”The red-haired woman, Leli, and five other girls except for Estella, reconsidered what they had done to Charlie. It felt like they wanted to jump from the 100th floor.“You must be confused. Why did I do all that before? I’ll tell you, my purpose in doing that was to test all of you,” said Charlie casually.When they heard that, they finally understood.After that, Charlie stepped forward and walked towards the red
“Who told you to talk so much!” Arvid said cruelly after shooting.“Ah! Ah...”Rahil screamed in pain. His body fell to the floor. Red blood stained his pants.Dario fared a little better. After being shot, he could still stand. Dario could endure the pain. He didn’t scream. But there was still blood seeping from his pants.“Arvid! You bastard!”Seeing Arvid shoot, Charlie’s eyes filled with rage.Charlie felt like flaying Arvid alive right now.Charlie even thought he shouldn’t have shown mercy last night. He should have just killed Arvid right away. Even if the consequences were unimaginable. Or even if he had to risk his own life.“Charlie, there’s no use being mad at me. The only way is for you to kneel and beg to me!”“If not, when I press the trigger of this gun again, it won’t be their thighs I shoot, but their heads. I’ll count to three. After the third count, I’ll press the trigger of my pistol and shoot their heads!” Arvid said, laughing with mockery and threat.Three!Two!
Arvid laughed uproariously, “Alright! I, Arvid, will wait. You’re just garbage. Besides relying on your grandfather, what else do you have, huh? Still dreaming of revenge in the future? Dream on, haha! I, Arvid, also want to tell you that my business with you is not finished yet. Just wait, there will be a point where I will crush you until you’re completely destroyed!”“Take him away!”Mr. Labron waved his hand again. Arvid was immediately pushed and taken away.“Mr. Ornell, I will take this person back to the Provincial Capital first.” Mr. Labron said politely to Ornell.“Okay, just go ahead, I still want to talk to my grandson,” said Mr. Ornell.At that moment, a red car arrived.Lydia got out of the car. Coincidentally, Lydia crossed paths with Arvid who was about to be taken away.“Arvid, you... what’s going on?” Lydia looked puzzled seeing Arvid being held captive.Arvid’s face was disheveled. His embarrassing appearance was now seen by Lydia.“Lydia, I will come back for you, w
“It’s okay. I’m stronger than most people. Besides, the bullet that pierced my body has been successfully removed. No need to worry, Charlie. Today, I’m getting ready to leave the hospital. That way, I can protect you again.” As he spoke, Dario uncovered his blanket, trying to get up from the bed.Seeing this, Charlie immediately gently pushed him back to lying down. He didn’t want his bodyguard to move too much.“Dario, just rest well here. Later, when you’re fully recovered, we can talk again.”“But...”“Are you worried that there’s no one to protect me?” Charlie smiled. He could guess.“I’ve assigned Edgar to replace you temporarily. Although he’s not as strong as you, he’s capable of taking on this responsibility. Your only task now is to get better.”Dario sighed resignedly yet relieved. He knew Edgar’s skills. The man could definitely take over his duties temporarily. “Alright. I’ll follow what you say,” he said while nodding.“By the way, about the conflict with Arvid...” Dario
The day after passing the selection test, Estella started working at this company.So far, she had always been by Charlie’s side and performed her duties well as a secretary, both when inside the company and when meeting clients outside. Moreover, her work was meticulous and diligent. She was also not afraid to face difficulties.Charlie shifted his gaze from the document in his hand to Estella. His lips curved into a warm smile. Working with Estella every day made him know the woman well.“Estella, your work has been excellent all this time. Earlier, you told me that you weren’t that good, prone to making mistakes. Where? Nonsense. You’re too modest.”Hearing the praise made Anni smile shyly.For Estella, Charlie played a significant role in changing her life. In her heart, she was always grateful. Since she started working at Enigma Enterprises, her mother had always boasted about her to relatives, friends, and even neighbors.“Oh, yeah. You used to tell me, didn’t you, that your yo
