He couldn't believe he actually fell in love with someone like her. She was still supporting her lover in his face! Well he wouldn't begin his revenge on her just yet. It'd be slow and hurtful. For now, he wanted to see how his first target was faring....In the sales department."WHAT!!!"Monica was shocked beyond measures after seeing the sack letter on her desk.Hell no! What was this all about? Out of the blues?!She couldn't remember doing anything to warrant such a sudden dismissal.Sweat all over her face, she read through the letter again. After the whole formal speech, one sentence at the end caught her eyes.'indolent workers aren't needed in the company' That line... Why was it so familiar? Where had she heard it from?Oh! Felix! Suddenly his words rang in her head. "Just remember this, indolent workers aren't needed in the company"A thought flashed into her head but she quickly dumped the idea. What was she even thinking? There was no way in the world Felix could be
Felix heard his name and turned around, looking at the ladies that were giggling like fools.He sighed and said nothing. He couldn't wait to see the expression on their faces when...The call went through, interrupting his thoughts. He placed the phone to his ear and spoke, "Some lousy ladies won't let me in!" "What! How dare they!" Kimber Kim shouted and Felix could hear him slamming his hands on a table. Kimber Kim cut the call and turned to the owner by his side, Robert Woods who was trying to curry favor with him. He was obviously grinning and bootlicking him."Master Kim! Is there anything you want me to do for you?!" Robert Woods, the man everyone knew as poised and strict was kissing someone's ass. If his employees were to see him, they would not believe that it's him at all. The moment Robert heard of what his employees were doing, sweat clouded his entire body as he gritted his teeth in anger. Those darned workers!Without wasting time, he informed his manager to solve t
Of course, Felix recognized him. He was Mr. Derick Wilson, the most famous and popular lawyer in the city. He had won countless cases and helped various people to gain justice. He was like a role model in Felix's eyes and he never expected to see him face to face. "Ohh!! My apologies also for not honoring your presence earlier. It's nice meeting you, Mr. Felix." The man was courteous with a smile on his too-young-for-his-age face and stretched his hands for a handshake. If one didn't know his age, they would think he's in his thirties.Felix, also with a smile of adoration, took his hands and shook it. He had just met his role model!"Ok! Now, straight to business!" Kimber Kim reminded them of their main reason of meeting. The man also turned professional."Yes, Mr Felix we called you here to sign these documents, which contains the legal ownership of the companies and all other assets owned by Mr. Kim." Felix was quite flustered for a moment. His hands slightly shook as he too
"Arrgh!!!"Karl cried, feeling like his finger just got detached from his hands.How dare you?! Bastard!" Karl yelled and launched a blow at Felix's face but he dodged it and held his hands tightly, exerting a little force. "Karl Whales, Shark or whatever your goddamn fucking name is, you'd better know your limits, or... I will put you in such an immobile state that your fucking self won't be able to lift a fucking finger!" Felix's whole demeanor and tone was intimidating that Karl had to step back a few paces. Felix himself was shocked at what he said. He was never the type to curse unnecessarily but he just had to act like a man.Karl was taken aback but, he quickly regained his composure and snickered. "You crazy riffraff! You've got the guts to speak to me that way cause you got a chance to enter in here, right?... Let's just say I'm in a good mood today else I would have thrown your ass outta here! Right now I'm just here to get the best out of the day with my girlfriend so p
And it was on Felix's table! How come?!He suddenly remembered their bet. He said Felix could not afford to eat a meal in the restaurant... Wasn't this a huge slap on his face? He couldn't afford to kneel in front of him and lose face in front of him. He was Mark Easton! He didn't even know what was coming for him next.After the waitress served Felix, she took the tray and left. Mark waited for her to bring their orders but she went to another table to take another order.Confused, Mark called for her attention. "Hey! Where's our order?" "Oh, sorry but we're not allowed to serve you, Mr." The waitress said with a sarcastic smile."What? But we already paid for the meal!" Mark flared up."Sorry again, but it's an order from above," she replied."How can this be? Who the fuck gave that order? Where is your manager? I want to see her now! Tell her the son of the Easton Group demands her presence!" The waitress flinched a little. The way he threatened her made her get goosebumps
Scott picked the call."Hello, Young master. To what do I owe this call?"Felix went straight to the point. "Among the companies under the support of Kim's empire , is there anyone with the name 'Easton Group'? Scott thought for a while before answering. "Oh yes! The Easton Group is under the support of the Kim's Empire and they have been working with us for a while. They seem quite productive but they're much of a bother now. Why do you ask, Young master?"Felix scoffed. "Withdraw all investments from their company and make sure they do not work with us henceforth.""Ok young master, I will do as you say," Scott said as Felix hung up.*The next day, Felix woke up and dressed for work in his usual cheap clothes.He walked out of the room and went to the kitchen to have his breakfast when he stumbled into Meq."Are you blind? Can't you see I'm taking out the trash?" She huffed. "That wasn't my fault. You were rushing like you had stomach upset." Felix snapped with a quick
A surge of anger spread through his body as he coldly spat, "Her salary for the rest of this year should be withheld. Also, she should get a demotion; one she wouldn't expect in her wildest dreams."" I'll do just that young master. I am also not happy that this lady would not ask for permission before taking her day off. Besides, if Master Kim should hear about it, I'm sure he will dismiss her immediately. Should I do that?""No, not at all. Just do as I say. Uh... You should leave now, the lunch break is over," Felix said, sighting some workers returning from the cafeteria. He stood up and shook hands with him as Scott bowed and left. Three staff working in the same office with him saw Scott coming out from their department and bowed their heads in respect.They were curious to know what would bring their Vice president to their office as they murmured to each other.They opened the door and was stunned to see only Felix in the department."Uck... Don't tell me our Vice pres
The cars started moving so fast to catch up with his taxi. The driver noticed it and drove fast too but he was too slow in driving.Felix hissed in anger and took hold of the steering, swerved to another direction— an alley— and pulled over.The car engine screeched as it was forced to come to a halt.The cars that were trailing him also swerved and stopped instantly. Felix didn't come down from the car or make any movement, waiting for the other party to make a move first.Watching closely, the door of the two cars opened. Three men in black suits and black eyeglasses came out of each of the Bentley cars.Out of fear, the taxi driver came opened the door and prepared to run away but was held by one of the men.One of the men with airpod on his ear came forward and stopped the rest. "Let him go. He is not our target," he said and they pushed the driver aside. The driver stood up and took to his heels instantly, leaving only Felix, who had been watching everything through the rearview
Without hesitation, Felix lunged forward, wrapping his hand around Elsa and pulling her down behind a table, just as gunfire erupted in the small room. Bullets ricocheted off the furniture, sending splinters flying from it. “Get down!” Felix yelled, pulling Elsa closer, feeling her body press against his. He could feel her reaching into his pockets as he returned fire, the sound of gunshots ringing in his ears. “Don’t tell me you didn’t bring me a spare gun! What am I going to use?!” Elsa shot at him when she noticed his pocket empty, her eyebrow raised in disbelief and a hint of frustration on her face. She felt like slapping him for forgetting something so important, her annoyance mixed with adrenaline. Felix glanced at her, guilt and exasperation on his face. He wanted to kick himself for not being more prepared. “Never mind,” she waved her hand sharply and began looking around the cluttered room for something that could help. The guards shouted commands to each other, tryin
Felix smirked as the heat washed over him. But the smirk vanished immediately; he didn’t have time to celebrate. He dashed down the corridor, taking the stairs two at a time, heading toward the floor where he suspected Elsa might be held.Reaching the upper level, he paused, his breath coming in sharp bursts. His eyes fell on a door marked “Staff Only.” He approached cautiously and leaned in closer, straining to listen for any signs of life on the other side. The silence was deafening.He placed his ear against the door, concentrating hard to hear anything on the other side. Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the hall. Felix's pulse quickened. He had to get inside, now. With a swift kick, he forced the door open and slipped inside, closing it quietly behind him.The room was dimly lit and filled with old furniture and dusty boxes. There was a table in the center of the room. His eyes scanned the space, everywhere, searching for any clue that Elsa was there. She had
“Shit!” Panic flooded him.He promised Felix he would ensure to keep anyone away from that area because he would be there. His mind raced as he quickly walked to him, blocking his view.As he got closer, he noticed the guard stiffen and frown in confusion. The guard paused and glanced behind Vito, looking sharp and on edge, as if he sensed something was wrong. He had heard the noise.“Is something wrong?” Vito asked, trying to sound casual and composed.The guard turned to him, his face darkening as he squinted. “Who are you?” he asked, his voice low and filled with suspicion. Vito noticed the guard's hand moving toward his weapon, fingers twitching as he assessed the situation.Vito stood up straight. “I’m the managing director of Vasley Group,” Vito said, keeping his voice calm and confident. A small smirk appeared on his lips.The guard's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly relaxed, bowing his head. Fear and respect flickered across his face.“I'll ask again: is something wro
Felix walked down a grand flight of stairs, the sound of his footsteps echoing softly in the hallway as he headed for the backdoor. “Vito?” He called into the airpod, keeping his voice low but clear.“Yes, Boss,” he replied through the receiver.Felix paused for a moment and glanced over his shoulder to see if anyone was watching him closely. “The floor opposite the rear exit. Guard that area. Ensure no one goes closer, if anything seems wrong, alert me right away.”“Yes, Boss,” he responded.Felix took a deep breath and began to move, continuing down the stairs. He took long strides towards the rear exit, ensuring to avoid any guards around him.He decided to go on this mission alone to not raise suspicion so he let Jake attend the event in place of him. As he opened the door, he spotted a CCTV above, on the wall. Immediately, he grabbed a plank and swung it against it, hitting it several times.The lens shattered, sending bits of plastic flying.With the camera out of the way, he
They drifted to the edge of the ballroom.“Where's Elsa now?” Jen asked in a hushed tone once they were out of earshot, feeling nervous.Jake shook his head grimly. “Felix is still looking, but no word yet.” Vito looked around the ballroom, carefully observing everyone mingling and discussing. He didn't see any sign of Diane Fox among the wealthy and glamorous guests. He frowned slightly and discreetly waved over one of the nearest Vasley employees.He leaned in close so he could be heard over music. “Excuse me, have you seen Miss Diane? I didn't notice her with the Fox family earlier.”The worker shrugged without much interest. “Last I saw, she ran off the moment she got in. Probably hiding and crying in one of the empty sitting rooms, if you ask me.”Vito frowned in thought. He quickly sent a short message to Felix:“Diane is missing from the main event. Employee thinks she's hiding alone in an empty room. Let me know what you want to do next.”After sending the message, Vito put
“It would take a while to recover from this hit,” Jake remarked as they sat in the car, watching the hectic scene happening on the red carpet through the tinted windows.Jen looked out at the flashing lights and swarming paparazzi. She turned to him. “Even worse since Glitz and Glamour is leading now.” She had a satisfied smile on her face. Jake glanced over at her. "Are you ready to step out?" he asked. "The attention might be overwhelming."Jen took a slow, deep breath to calm her nerves. Being at the center of attention was scary. “As long as it's for Ma'am Elsa. So, yeah,” she said, arranging her dress and clutching her purse. Jake gave a subtle nod and got out of the car, then hurried around to open her door, offering his hand. Jen grabbed it gratefully with a smile as she stepped out.She held a confident smile, allowing her aura to radiate as she headed to the red carpet.A reporter in the front spotted her and did a double take, shocked to recognize her. "Isn't that the P.A
The incident had blown up really nice, and she knew it would cost an arm and a leg for damage control. Not that Vasleys were not up to the task, but they knew how hard it would be. She went back into the room, completing her makeup. She spent over half an hour carefully twisting and winding her hair into an elegant style on top of her head. She used pretty pins in red and shiny silver colors to match her accessories for the evening. The style highlighted her beauty. She realized just how much she had glowed up after the arrest and smiled.Stepping back from the mirror, she picked up the blue dress. The shiny satin material shimmered under the light. Small crystals were sewn neatly along the fitted top part. “This definitely fits the theme,” she smiled as she began to wear the dress. It went all the way to the floor, flattering her. She arranged all she needed and began to walk outside.She looked up and down the quiet sidewalk for Jake as she adjusted the thin straps on her shoulde
Jericho Vasley sat in his office, scrolling through social media on his phone. As the evening news began reporting on, his blood started to boil. Videos and images of his son Jerry with Diane Fox doing drugs were splashed across every site.The hashtags condemning them were going viral by the minute. Tabloid headlines screamed of scandals and rumors were running wild online. His company was getting roasted left and right, and it didn't help that they will recovering from the project Crest scandal.Fury rose within Jericho as he watched the disaster unfolding. How could Jerry be so careless and foolish? To be caught on camera like this, risking everything their family had built.His hands slammed down into the desk, venting his anger against the piece of wood. His phone crushed under his hands, his face tightening.Storming to his son's room, he burst through the door to find Jerry leisurely getting dressed. "Explain yourself! What is the meaning of this?" Jericho shouted, shoving the
Within minutes, the first posts started appearing on social media from accounts of Vasley employees about Diane Fox and Jericho's son, Jerry Vasley, doing drugs together.An idol from Vasley Entertainment uploaded several photos with the caption "Friends having fun at a party #oops". The pictures showed Diane, Jerry and several others passed out or engaged in drunken kissing. Meanwhile, Vito shared one of the more explicit videos on his profile. As people started watching, the comments rolled in. "Whoa is that the CEO's son?! Not a good look..." "Someone's career is over after the boss man sees this."Meanwhile, other anonymous accounts that Elsa had already arranged were busy stirring up and adding more fuel to the fire on the rumors online. Small nudges trying to guide the conversation. A low-quality video was posted with the caption "Celebrity drug use revealed!" The video showed Diane and Jerry in a messy embrace, with a blurry figure pressing something to their lips.Another
