"This is my first time entering a five-star hotel. I never imagined that I would become the CEO of such a luxurious hotel. In the past, I didn't even dare to think about tasting the expensive lobster and steak served here.
Now, I can eat those foods every day.Excitement was apparent on Henry's face as he relished the thought of being the owner of this five-star hotel.He was up all night thinking about his plans for the future.When he finally arrived at the A.G.N Hotel, Henry noticed the welcome party outside the building. It piqued his interest.He approached the gate of the hotel and saw a large sign on the wall. The hotel was closed for the time being, according to the notice.Henry was completely disregarded by the rest of the crowd. They assumed he was just a bystander.The only one that noticed him was Sofia, who was standing in front of the crowd. With a frown, she whispered to Donald, "Donald, Henry has come back."After turning around, Donald recognized Henry. With a sinister expression, he scowled at him. "I told you never to bother Sofia anymore. What are you doing here?"Because of what had transpired the day before, Henry was enraged when he saw these two individuals. His enthusiastic mood soured terribly.In a cold voice, Henry replied, "What an arrogant man you are! I just hope you can still enjoy drinking wine later."Furious, Donald approached Henry upon hearing the latter's words.With an angry gaze, he grabbed Henry's collar and threatened him, "Now is a good time for you to have a clear picture of the situation. You cannot afford to offend our guest. I don't want to dispute with you now. Nonetheless, I will deal with you after this."However, Henry shoved Donald's hand away from him. He no longer needed to be terrified of anybody, since he was the Anderson Group's heir."Henry, it's time to call it quits. I know you don't want to end our relationship, but I have to tell you that I don't like you," Sofia said in an irate voice.When Henry heard her words, a serious expression painted his face. He raised his head and stared at Sofia.This lady was still lovely, but in his eyes, she was a stranger now.Henry recognized the apparent disdain and arrogance in her eyes. A chuckle escaped his lips. "How dare you assume that I came here for you? Silly woman, you overestimate yourself.""Henry, what are you saying?" Sofia asked in a vexed voice as she furrowed her eyebrows.When Henry saw how much she had changed, he couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. Her beauty had blinded him to the truth, and he wished he hadn't succumbed to temptation.Henry let out a sigh and turned his back on her. He yelled to the crowd, "Tell your general manager to come out. I'm looking for him."The folks surrounding Henry didn't seem to care about him at all. Instead, they dismissed him as a delusional idiot.Donald burst into laughter. "How dare you ask for the general manager? Do you think he will waste time on someone like you? Are you going to leave this place by yourself, or should I ask the guards to beat you up and throw you in the garbage bin?"However, Henry remained unfazed. With a dignified pose, he made a giant stride forward. It forced Donald to take a step back."You're the vice general manager, right? Where do you get the audacity to treat the new president like this?" Despite his calm voice, Henry radiated an air of silent authority. His eyes reflected a cool radiant light."How dare you pretend to be our new president? There will be a new president for this place, and he will be arriving shortly. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be here trying to convince you to go away. Leave this place now", Donald told Henry with derision.With a grin, Sofia hid her face with her hand. Since she was familiar with Henry's family, she assumed that she would know if he was the new president."Actually, I am the new president. The one who should go away is not me but you," Henry said in a proud voice as he pointed at Donald's nose."You're a lunatic. Guards, take this man away from here. Put him in the garbage bin! It's the only thing that will make him stop being delusional" Donald shouted impatiently.Soon enough, a large group of imposing security personnel quickly encircled Henry.Suddenly, a car horn echoed from nearby. The crowd turned their heads. Everyone's eyes fixated on the vehicle since it was very familiar to them. "That's Noah car. He's back after picking up the new president himself.""You lying idiot. The real president has just arrived. Leave now!" A chuckle escaped Donald's breath. "Everyone, look presentable. Smile as we welcome our new president."Meanwhile, Noah was driving so fast that he almost hit the security guards, who were terrified of getting hit.In a flash, the vehicle parked right in front of Henry. Without hesitation, Noah pushed open the car door.Noah hurriedly exited the vehicle. His tie was unkempt, and he didn't even bother to clean up his outfit. He was clearly in a rush to get out of the car.He slammed the door shut. It surprised everyone, since he was very careful about his car. It was the first time that he treated it so roughly.The other employees expected Noah to throw Henry into the road for causing a disturbance at their welcome party.To everyone's surprise, Noah suddenly took the wine and the glass Donald was holding.With trembling hands, he poured a glass of red wine and gave it to Henry.However, Henry ignored the glass and instead gave Noah a cold stare.Despite his large figure, Noah gave Henry a deep bow. There was a smile on his lips and sweat dripped down his face. In a sincere voice, he said, "P-pleasure to meet you, Mr. Anderson. Allow me to propose a toast to you. Please forgive me for making you wait for so long."Immediately, everyone outside the hotel was taken aback by what they had witnessed. They wanted to say something, but they were too surprised that their words failed to escape their gaping mouths.The entire place fell silent. Noah began to gasp for breath, while everyone else held their breaths.Donald's heart began to race, and Sofia broke into a cold sweat. They were all praying that the general manager had only mistaken Henry for someone else, or that they were only having a nightmare.Noah, who had been standing stiff for so long, felt the glass in his hand suddenly become lighter.Suddenly, Henry took the glass from his hand. Overjoyed, Noah straightened his shoulders and his pale face became normal."Thank you very much for your mercy and forgiveness, Mr. Anderson." Taking out a handkerchief, Noah wiped away the sweat on his forehead.He had received a call from Christopher, George's butler, when he had been away on vacation.Christopher had told him that the new president would take office.Noah had been drinking with some pretty girls at that time, and he did not expect the new president to appear all of a sudden.Since he did not dare to delay any longer, he immediate
"I hate repeating my orders,'' said Henry. The security guards clenched their jaws in frustration. They didn't need to be terrified of Donald since they had George's son at their side.Henry merely told them to hold down Donald. Even if Henry's order was to beat up Donald, the guards would still willingly do it. After all, Donald was nothing compared to George.Immediately, two security guards stepped forward and grabbed Donald. With each of them holding one of Donald's arms, they pulled him back.In frustration, Donald yelled, "Unhand me, you bastards. I will make you pay for touching me." Donald was afraid to upset Henry, so he didn't say anything to him.However, it didn't mean that the guards could be rude to him."How dare you continue to act so haughty even though you've been fired?" Furious, a muscular security guard delivered a strong punch toward Donald's gut."Ahhh!" Donald screamed in agony, his lips gaping open in protest. He turned his head to see who had struck him. How
"Don't be alarmed. Please inform Noah if you are a victim of bullying. The issue may be brought to my attention if he does not remedy it." Henry was reminded of himself by Benjamin.Unfortunately, he had never had somebody stand out for him before.Benjamin happily nodded his head. He was a quiet person. He raised his chin in an attempt to show others that he was worthy of Henry's faith.Being able to lean on one another was a welcome feeling for them both.His mind wandered as he surveyed the approximately two-hundred individuals around him."When was the last time you got a raise?" Henry inquired."A few years ago. Since Donald was promoted to vice general manager, our salaries have remained flat. To reduce our pay and keep our wages at bay, he enacted several rules at work." An employee with a lot of experience mentioned it right away."Benjamin, please correct the staff regulations and erase all unnecessary terms." Benjamin immediately rushed to the office to update the rules for
At One o'clock at noonAt Stanley University, the sound of the final bell ringing was heard in Room 447.The sun was shining brightly. Although Henry rushed to his class, he was still late.By the time he arrived, the teacher had left, and many students were packing up to leave.The class representative was cleaning the board when she saw Henry standing by the door."Henry, how dare you skip classes? You were not like this before." The class representative, Isabella Isaac, was petite, and always wore her hair in a high ponytail.She was excellent at her studies, and was very kindhearted, so all the boys in the class were fond of her."Sorry, I had something urgent to deal with." Since Henry knew that he was in the wrong, he could not help but smile sheepishly."These lessons are very important. Find me in the library later in the afternoon, and I'll help you."Henry didn't have much interaction with Isabella. They were both equally good at studies, and they were like competitors in c
"Are you making fun of me? How dare you!" Lucas' expression changed all of a sudden."Well, I can easily cross out the records, and the days during which you skipped classes will disappear without a trace. However, it can also happen otherwise."Lucas threatened Henry. It was a trick that always worked for him. Whenever he dealt with a cowardly student, he would threaten them in the exact same way to make them give him all of their money."I am sick of seeing your same old tricks. You're just a loser who likes bullying others by taking advantage of your position as the student council." Henry could not help but find Lucas' threat to be ridiculous."It is true that I don't have any evidence against you right now, but I have people who will do anything as long as I tell them. For example, they will accuse you of fighting or molesting girls." Saying that, Lucas laughed.Upon hearing that, Henry's expression darkened. He had only wanted Lucas to step down.Henry realized that a guy like L
"Okay. I understand." Mr Jones nodded with a bright smile.Henry's name sounded a little familiar to Mr Jones, and he suddenly remembered who he was.Mr Martin had just mentioned Henry, who was not able to get a scholarship anymore because he skipped classes.It seemed like Henry's parents had a target on their backs. If that was not the case, then why would he care about the scholarship?"Well, Mr Martin told me about your scholarship earlier, and I don't think that you made any mistakes, so you can continue to get the scholarship", Mr Jones said with a smile."Sir, I think that you should follow the school's rules, instead of doing things at will, because only then, the students will also feel encouraged." Mr Martin said in a serious tone, standing up from the chair."Martin!" Annoyed, Mr Jones glared at him. Mr Martin was very serious about his job as a teacher, and gave a lot of importance to the school's rules.Perhaps to others, those issues might seem trivial, but to him, they
Henry and Robert were longtime friends. They were aware of everything about each other's past.As such, Robert couldn't believe Henry's words."Don't take it personally, Andrew. Henry must have been drunk from the false wine. Just take the two hundred dollars and bury the hatchet, okay?"Since Andrew hailed from a wealthy family, the two hundred dollars was nothing to him. What he wanted was to embarrass Henry.Everyone in the crowd broke out laughing.After a few seconds, they spotted a guy walking by. There was a collective hush as they dared not glance at the stranger."Great timing, Lucas. Henry said that you'll get expelled." Immediately, Andrew told the guy about the current situation.Andrew smirked evilly as he rested his hands on his hips. He was eager to see what Lucas would do to Henry.The wrath on Lucas' face was palpable. Isabella had approached him and put in a good word for Henry. Initially, Lucas planned to let bygones be bygones. However, it seemed that the man once
At Stanley UniversityIt was time for the morning classes. The affluent student donor was the topic of conversation among several junior students who were seated beneath a tree conversing with one another. Suddenly, their PE instructor caught them skipping class.Afterward, they were made to run four hundred meters as a pre-workout.In high school, they were more engaged in physical activities.However, all they wanted now was for the wealthy student donor to destroy the school's stadium, so it could be transformed into an entertainment center.Henry just grinned at the group of students. In order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, working out was necessary. Even if he had the money, he wouldn't do what these youngsters requested.Robert, who was in front of the running students, was in disbelief. He never expected Henry to match his pace with a relaxed expression."Henry, have you been exercising lately in secret?" Robert asked with widened eyes."We must always pay attention to our he
When Isabella left the office, the strange feeling of people looking at her disappeared at once.To calm herself down, she took a deep breath.Wondering who came to her, she glanced around until she noticed the person she'd been missing so much."Henry!" Isabella exclaimed with glee. Her eyes smiling along with her lipsShe was so excited to see him. Then, she looked around to make sure that there was nobody else around.Fortunately, they were alone here. Otherwise, she would feel embarrassed.Isabella walked up to Henry and asked, "which department are you in? Do you mind if I stop by your office during break times?"She was kind of timid, and Henry was the only one she knew in the company.In her opinion, it was more comfortable and safer to stay with an acquaintance.After pondering for a moment, Henry replied. "I'm the chairman's assistant."Isabella's eyes lit up and widened in adoration. "You really are the top student of our class! You're incredible Henry!""Sheesh! It may soun
Jason wiped the bead of sweat from his forehead and hurried back to the meeting room.He knocked on the door, entered the room, and sat back on his seat.Many of the executives have left by now. It seemed that Henry has assigned them to follow up on some task."I've already told you all the seat. Do you have any other suggestions?" The school's prototype design appeared on the screen behind Henry.Jason was surprised that they managed to agree upon so many things within the ten minutes he was downstairs.Henry was most thoughtful than most people, not to mention he was quite young.By now, the others had left."Mr Anderson, I've arranged a job for Miss Issac. I'm sorry for the mistake I've made sir. It's my fault." Jason remarked sincerely."Actually, it's not your fault. I didn't get the chance to explain the situation to you. Fortunately, your men remind us about it." Henry replied with a smile. He already felt like he lucked out this time. Otherwise, Isabella would have been let do
At the other end of the phone there was a newbie in the personnel department, her voice clear and confident."Hello, Mr Clark. The receptionist just told us that a girl named Isabella Isaac is here for an internship. We don't have any information about her. How should we deal with this?"The report irked Jason. "Why do you have to ask me such a stupid question? I'm in a meeting now. If she's not in the system, then she's not our company intern. Just let her go!" He barked. He hung up the call and went back to the meeting roomWith an apologetic smile, Jason said to Henry, "Mr Anderson, I'm sorry. One of my subordinate called me. I told them I was in a meeting, but they still asked me questions that didn't matter."Henry asked casually, "What happened?'Jason relayed to him what his staff's concern was. "Besides, we are not recruiting interns recently. Maybe someone gave her the false information!" Jason exclaimed.On the other hand, Henry didn't think it was that simple. Ordinary peop
Henry opened the car door and stepped out. He couldn't help feeling nervous since it was his first time meeting an official. The solemnity of the place failed to put him at ease.A woman came by the door, wearing a black uniform, accentuating her captivating beauty.She exuded elegance. He'd hair pulled up high, away from her face, looked exquisite.Her loose clothes couldn't hide her curvy figure."Mr Anderson, the mayor is waiting for you in his office. This way, please." Olivia escorted him.Immediately, Henry recognized her voice and knew that it was Olivia. Henry nodded and signaled to Archer to stay on the lookout.Then, he followed Olivia to that mayor's office.He looked around and noticed there were traces of peeling on the damp walls.The pipe was leaking. A faint rotten smell filled the air.The building was losing its race with time and badly needed repairs.Olivia noticed Henry frowning, which was worried her, for she didn't want him to have any poor impressions. Trying
A faint smile appeared on Henry's face as he watched them leave.It was not uncommon for people to not care about something that did not affect their interest.Had it been the opposite, they would bare their fangs and do whatever it would take them to protect their stake.Henry and the leader arrived at the meeting room on the top floor, preparing for the meeting about their community project.Brent said in admiration, "Mr Anderson, you are indeed a resourceful man. It's a brilliant idea to raise the housing price on the market using the school for enrichment. No one would return the houses because of their increased value."The executives nodded in agreement."It's human nature to want the better end of the deal. Mr Anderson has taken advantage of it, but it was rather unexpected!" Jason explained.Ryan added, "Mr Anderson is naturally good at it."He was very excited.Given time, Henry might be able to accomplish great things as Christopher had said.However, Brent, who was in charg
Toby swallowed his saliva and said, "Jim claimed that he poisoned a building site for an Dale Building community. At least ten employees perished. On the one hand, we are able to express our rage. On the other hand, If the people who want to buy the house know that someone died there, they weren't going to buy them. They will very certainly seek a return of the deposit, and the community's house prices will certainly fall. It will be a major setback for Dale Building's capital chain. Henry is going to be in a lot of trouble once the Dale Building is in disarray.Jim nodded. Douglas was a bit disgusted because of the two lumps of fat on Jim's cheeks were wobbling. However, this strategy was excellent. As a result, Douglas said enthusiastically, "you did an excellent job. You have finally come up with a plan that will irritated Henry. Fantastic! I will give you a couple of vacation days to relax!"Jim was overjoyed. He was giddy with delight as he danced. However, Jim's conduct irritate
Archer took immediate action.An automobile pulled up in front of Henry in less than two minutes."Get baçk to dale Building as quickly as possible," Henry remarked as he climbed into the vehicle.Archer casual demeanor was quickly replaced with a stern one.He adjusted his seat, gripping the steering wheel tightly, and pushed the accelerator pedal all the way down.Archer's old automobile had been left behind after the gas can explosion the last time.In every way, the new automobile worked well.Even though there was a lot of traffic on the road, Archer maintained driving smoothly and passing.They arrived at the Dale Building's gate ten minutes later. Henry stormed into the chairman's office on the top floor.All the department heads were waiting for him in the office.Ryan, who didn't attend such things, was also present. Henry slammed his fist on the desk and yelled, "Tell me! What the hell has happened? Was is by accident or n deliberate act by someone?" Ryan offered Henry
Isabella held Henry's hand tightly. She was so nervous that her body couldn't stop trembling.What happened just now really freaked her out. Moreover, Henry's friend actually assumed that she was his girlfriend.For a moment, Isabella was flustered and pleased at the same time. Her face was red, and her arms leaned against Henry's arm. Feeling the softness and warmth on his arm, Henry looked at Isabella who looked like she was still in shock.Then, he asked in a teasing tone, "what are you thinking about? Do you realise you're holding me a little too tightly?" Hearing this, Isabella came to her senses. She quickly loosen her grip and muttered embarrassed, "what? I'm not... What nonsense are you talking about?""Haha!" Henry burst out laughing upon seeing her cute reaction.On the other hand, Isabella was so embarrassed that she really wanted to let go of Henry's arm. However, Henry grabbed her hand.Feeling the warmth on her hand, Isabella's face blushed all the more. It was as if t
"This is Giovanni from Bloody Monster. If you go to Starry City, you'll definitely hear about him. Ask around, but make sure you don't wet yourself!" Adrian became arrogant with Giovanni beside him.If people were only to speculate, they could most likely recognise him as the leader of the group."Fuck off!" Giovanni then went to the front and kicked Adrian aside.Naturally, Adrian bowed and smile at him apologetically. He was eager to keep on his good side.Despite Henry's presence, Giovanni stepped closer to Isabella and looked her up and down. It seemed that he completely and deliberately ignored Henry."Ha! She's certainly pretty. Well done, Adrian. You will have your chance after we've finished with her."Isabella felt a shiver down her smile. All the colour on her face quickly got washed off. She grabbed Henry's shirt and hid herself behind him.Right then, Henry clearly felt that she was trembling in fear. He didn't like that this insolent man put Isabella in cold sweat. The n
