The next day, Felix watched as his so-called mother-in-law prepared to go to the grocery store while Meq was almost done preparing for work , just having her breakfast.
He was almost done with getting ready for work as he was preparing breakfast for Dice in the kitchen, Kate began to yell out his name. " Felix, you bastard!" Kate yelled his name again and felix rushed to the living room.There, he saw Kate was sitting on the couch with Dice. "Good morning ma" he greeted and turned to the Meq "good morning great wife."She ignored him like she didn't hear a thing then ordered, "go get me my bag from my room." He nodded and went to bring it for her. "Gosh, he irritates me like damn" Meq said seeing him going to bring her bag He came back and handed the bag over to her "Hope you didn't steal anything from my bag because what's in there cost more than your miserable life" . Felix sighed and ignored her then turned back to Face Kate. "Mummy I will be off to work, dear loser hope I don't set my eyes on you!" She Muttered and perked Kate's cheek then left the house, Felix shook his head "Yes ma, you called me the other time." "You have to make up for the time you missed at the grocery store, it's good that you're dressed already so let's go." Kate stated, arranging her stuffs, expecting Felix to join her in it.After a while of receiving no response, Kate turned back only to see Felix smiling at her as he stood and watched what she was doing.Shit, how much she hated that cunning smile. "You brat!! Are you deaf?! Why standing there like a log of wood?!" She yelled at the top of her voice."I got a job," Felix said in a casual tone. Kate scanned him thoroughly. It took a while, before She started her loud, derisive laughter. "Hehe... You rubbish, who do you want to deceive, huh?" Kate taunted acidly. "I'm not lying. I got a job at my friend's company."It took Felix a while to decide the best lie as a cover-up. He didn't even know when that came out of his mouth. He never expected that they would still be ignorant given the fact that they had such a talkative daughter like Meq. "You mean a useless dump like you was offered a job? In a company? Haha, let me guess... Is it as a cleaner or a gatekeeper?.. . Oh no, maybe it's a trash collector... Haha," Kate sneered non-stop. Kate stood up." You wretched soul are not allowed to work! If you leave who will do the work in the store? Who will deliver the groceries to our customers?... Also, at least for once, think of this little baby Dice! Who'll look after him when you're at work? Don't be an ingrate!"Kate ranted on and on in frustration. She just didn't want to believe that he was capable enough. He was supposed to be their underling! Not the other way round! He was supposed to be a grocery boy!Felix was fuming in anger, receiving all the insults without complaint. He once thought that if he got a job, her attitude towards him will get better but it was just his wishful thinking.As for now, it didn't matter to him anymore. He suppressed his brewing anger and opened his mouth to speak, "Auntie, let's not forget that money is involved here. I am going to be paid a lot of money! Look at it! A job as an accountant will fetch us nothing less than 10000$ a month! And of course the money will be given to you, my dearest in-law!" Felix let out an annoying smile.He made sure to use the most flattering voice he could to persuade her. Thank goodness his brain came to him when he needed it the most. Phew! Kate on hearing this from him was excited about that and reconsidered it. After all, this foolish son-in-law was surely going to bring his earnings back to her at the end of the day. So.... Why not? Let him work his ass off! She can take absolute care of the grocery store and Dice on their own without his help. Kate cleared his throat and said, "Do as you wish. Just make sure you don't go back on your words..."She made it sound like he was doing Felix a favour. They were being greedy yet so egoistic. Amazing in-laws of the year! "Good luck to you! And make sure you don't fumble, dumbass! "Kate yelled as Felix left the house.**A.X. CORPORATION. Felix reached the company and was going into his office when he stumbled into Fred.Fred stopped him as he saw Felix entering the financial department. "Hey you son of a bitch, what the hell are you doing here? Oops! Almost forgot. You now work here, haha." "Excuse me." Felix tried walking away but Fred pushed him back. "Oh, how great! You wanna enter inside when I'm still talking to you?! You've got some nerves huh! Is it because you got a job here, you think you have the right to talk to me like that?" Felix really wanted to punch this guy really hard but of what use will it be anyway?Instead, he walked nearer to him and put his hands together. "Please Fred, enough. I don't have time for your nonsense, neither do I have time to exchange words with you. So, get out of my way so I can go in!"Fred was startled at first, but soon started laughing, "Look here, loser! I'm not scared of you. And if you choose to act foolishly like you already are, I'll make sure to give you the worst beating of your life! Gosh, you're so despicable and no wonder your wife hates you to the core!" Fred said scornfully. As he walked away, he didn't forget to deliberately hit Felix's shoulder. Felix was so angry, then he decided to meet his dad at his office.Felix opened the door to the CEO office and met Kimber Kim. Kimber Kim was on the couch with a laptop on his laps and it seemed like he was just surfing the net. As soon as he saw Felix's face, Kimber Kim's face brightened up as he dropped the laptop on the couch and stood up. "Hey Felix, how is my boy doing?" The old man beamed. "Am good dad," Felix smiled. Kimber Kim signalled him to sit beside him on the couch and he did so. After settling down, Kimber Kim thoughtfully asked, "So which department are you going to work in?" " Just want to intern in the finance department of the company." "That will be better, you need to stay undercover to avoid taking unnecessary risks." " Yeah, dad. So, I will officially begin it today?" Felix asked. " Yes son. But... Be careful Felix," Kimber Kim said, caring like a father. Felix smiled seeing the look in his eyes. "I got that dad. So, I will get going." Kimber Kim nodded. Felix left his office and went to the accounting department.H
Kimber Kim brought out the documents inside the bag and flipped through the pages. Lo and behold it was the company's confidential files. It included most of the important details of transactions between them and other companies, and some more... "My oh my! Mr Fred Meyer!" Kimber Kim exclaimed. Fred was about to run when the guards held him and pushed him down to Kimber Kim's feet."Trying to outsmart me?" * Felix already knew that his suspicions were right. "Let's get him thrown out and forbidden from stepping into this company ever again." Felix communicated with Kimber Kim through the airpod in their ears.Kimber Kim turned to Fred and instantly hit him on his face and grabbed him tightly by his hair. "You bloody thief! You have the guts to steal such important documents and dare to fool me? You are leaving this company now!" Kimber Kim's cold words made Fred burst into tears as he held his legs and began pleading.* Felix stood in the corner and smirked. "I never knew my w
"What a pleasant surprise! I never knew you it'll be you again... Fred." Fred, the one in black, was extremely stupefied on seeing Felix. On the other hand, Kimber Kim's lips curved upwards a bit. 'Such a grand entrance! Keep it up boy!' It took Fred a minute to process the whole situation before he began laughing again."How can a houseboy from nowhere claim that he is the heir to a powerful empire? What the heck is wrong with this motherfucker?"Felix scoffed. Walking towards them, he said, "You don't seem to believe me... Mr Fred Meyer?""Are you crazy? Who will believe a dummy like you who can't take proper care of his wife? Or.. oh... Let's say she is the one taking care of you! Of course you are a bastard with no future. Who knows, maybe you drank a lot of cheap alcohol today!" Kimber Kim was no longer calm again. Who did this idiot think he was to degrade his heir?!Immediately, he flared up, roaring, "how dare you talk to my own son that way?! Do you have a death w
Fred scurried off the building with his guards, leaving only Kim and Felix in the uncompleted building."Felix!" Kimber Kim started. "I knew you wouldn't disappoint me! My son!" He smiled happily as he patted Felix's hair. "Though I expected you to be good at fighting, I never knew you'd be that good!" Felix walked up to him."Am a little bit good at it, I just don't show it out and besides, there haven't been any reason for me to fistfight," Felix said.Kimber Kim nodded and put his hands on Felix shoulder."Felix, with the way things are going, I think it's almost time to show the whole world that my son is alive. My true heir is alive." Kimber Kim said in a half-worried tone."The company's anniversary is around the corner. Soon, I will be announcing you as the heir to Kim's empire, but for now, you just have to remain undercover." Felix understood what he said but was still overwhelmed at the thought. How would it be like on that day? "I will dad" Felix said and bowed
After finishing the piles of work dumped at his desk, Felix stood up to see his dad at his office. He noticed he was visiting his dad too often and becoming too close to him. What could he do? He was just too glad he now had someone to call a family member.He strode into the CEO'S office and met his father working tirelessly but as soon as he saw Felix, his mood lightened."Dad? I hope I'm not interrupting anything?" Felix asked, sitting down."No son, there's nothing much to do here. Hey, is everything alright?" Kimber Kim asked, noticing his not-so-cool mood."There is a lady here called Monica Shaw, right?" Felix began. He already did his check on her."Mmm... Monica Shaw..." Kimber Kim said, tapping his jaw while thinking. "Well if I am not mistaken she should be the head of the sales department... Yeah."Felix scoffed. "I don't think she is of use to this company anymore.""You want her sacked? Did she offend you?" Kimber Kim asked in concern. "A lot! I don't even wan
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
