The Astonishing Rise Of Hector Henderson CHAPTER 67
A few minutes later, the two male staff members she had found were running toward the office, one almost tripping on his shoelace.‘Why did he call us?’ The one with messy brown hair said, his gaze serious. ‘He just joined the company. Am I getting fired already?’The one who had just tripped on his shoelace had curly brown hair, and their faces were identical. The twins, Akitomo and Aritomo Higasa worked in the brainstorming department, creating ideas and strategies to help the company grow. Akitomo was optimistic and proactive, while Aritomo was cautious and detail-focused, making them a strong team.‘Is the company running out of resources or going bankrupt? I haven’t been paid my salary yet,’ he thought.‘Is he going to fire us because we were a minute late for work today?’‘Is he some kind of spoiled brat who doesn’t know how to take care of a business?’They both pictured him in an expensive suit with piercings on his brows and ears. The mere thought of him yelling at them in th

Hector got on his scooter and put on his helmet. He looked tired after listening to the twins talk for so long. Since their idea was one of the easiest they had come up with, they had piled on countless side addresses.Sighing, Hector tilted his head from side to side, stretching his neck to feel some relief.“Now, all I have to do is buy a building or rent one?”He thought about it. If he bought a building and Madison got involved, she might find out. However, renting wasn’t ideal either.Buying a building seemed like the better option, so he headed over to a store specializing in buildings suitable for a restaurant.Parking his scooter in the lot, he was reminded of his old, worn-out one. He felt grateful to Meira for buying him a new one. His first scooter had been something he saved up for over a long time.As Hector walked into the building, all the salespeople turned to look at him.Though he was dressed in a suit, it was a simple one that anyone could wear. They scowled at him b

Hector wasn’t in the mood to beat around the bush or convince anyone that he could afford the building. Without a word, he pulled out his bank card. Since the conversation began, one person had tried to stop the others from mocking Hector, but they hadn’t listened to him.The other staff members who had insulted him were taken aback by the card, regret flashing in their eyes. Yet, they seemed too stunned to utter a word.Hector pointed to the youngest salesperson. “You! Attend to me,” he ordered.The young man flinched, his eyes widening in surprise. He wasn’t the only one stunned; the others, who had mocked Hector, froze, their gazes glued to the black card in his hand.“Is that a black card?” Bobby exclaimed, his eyes round with shock.“It’s really a black card!” the first saleswoman shouted.“He had a black card this whole time while we insulted him?” the second saleswoman stammered, her face turning pale. “Does that mean he’s rich?”“Did we just insult a rich man?”The card gleamed

Upon hearing the man’s words, Hector still ignored him. “You should get the documents ready, Sam.”Hector’s words urged Sam to proceed with the preparation of the documents, further annoying the man whose question had just been ignored.“I just asked if you were ignoring me?!” the man yelled. “I told you I wanted the house, and you should stop acting like you could afford it! Aren’t I trying to save you from the embarrassment of being unable to afford an ordinary building?”Sighing, Hector glanced at the man. “I never asked you that, though. I already told you I could pay for the building. You’re the one acting like I couldn’t.”The staff looked on, unable to stop the argument. They had seen Hector’s black card and knew he could pay for it, but the man—an important company client—was someone they couldn’t afford to offend.“You dress cheaply and don’t even have a car! I saw you get here on a freaking scooter!” the man snarled. “And you’re telling me you can afford this building when yo

Hector glanced at Sam, who was holding the signed documents with a satisfied smirk. Then his gaze returned to the man.“Since you and your son are so interested in judging appearances, here’s what I’ll have you do,” Hector said.He gestured to the spotless showroom floor. “You’ll clean this entire space—on your hands and knees—until it’s spotless. I’ll even provide the cleaning supplies. Oh, and you’ll do it while wearing a sign that says, ‘I underestimated someone richer than me.’”The man’s face turned a deep shade of red. “That’s ridiculous! You can’t make me—”“You agreed to the terms of the deal,” Hector interrupted, his voice cold. “I didn’t force you into it. Now, unless you’d like to explain to everyone here why you’re breaking your word, I suggest you get started.”The staff exchanged amused glances, clearly on Hector’s side but trying to maintain their professional demeanor. They stayed silent, watching everything unfold.The man’s son, however, wasn’t as composed. “You can’t

A few minutes later, Hector leaned against the wall of the restaurant where Madison was supposed to meet him. It was one of the high-end restaurants in town, known for its delicious food, and one of her favorites.She hadn’t been able to pick him up since she had something important to attend to that morning.The security guards had been watching him for a while, noticing that he still hadn’t gone inside. He didn’t even act like he was there to dine at the restaurant, which made them frown."If he isn’t going to go into the restaurant, why is he just leaning against it?" one of them asked the other two.“I thought he was here for the cleaning job mentioned on the flyers recently,” another replied.“Let’s get him out of here,” the last one suggested. “He might scare away potential clients with that beggar's face.”Hector had just glanced at his phone to check for a message from Madison when the guards approached him. Their gazes were hard, and they looked ready to confront him.“You sho

Picking a table as soon as they got to the restaurant wasn’t a hard thing to do. They picked the one right next to the window, where they could see the outside and people walking and talking among themselves.Hector recalled that it was the same place he had sat with Madison on their first date. She had refused to go with him, and he had no choice but to act like he didn’t like the date either.It had been so awkward that they ended up going their separate ways. Now, he was on an outing with her, and it wasn’t one she was forced to attend. She was interested this time and even arrived on time.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Madison asked, reading the expression on his face. “If you’re nervous, remember that you’re the one who invited me to this place and not the other way around.”Hector snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her. “Well, I guess that’s the truth. I invited you when I was drunk,” he said, reminding her of the state he was in when he made the invitation.Madis

Hearing Hector’s words, a frown crossed Deon’s face, quickly replaced by a smirk as he glanced down at him. He had been brainstorming ways to prove to his girlfriend how influential he was and how he could do whatever he wanted. Now, he had just found the perfect opportunity to make himself look even more impressive.“You know, you were the poorest guy in high school. You couldn’t even afford the school trip and didn’t go with the rest of the class,” Deon said, his grin widening at the memory.Hector sighed, maintaining his composure. The truth was, he hadn’t gone on the school trip because it coincided with his grandmother’s memorial, an event he wouldn’t have missed for anything.“And let’s not forget—you didn’t buy food from the cafeteria. You always brought your lunchbox because the cafeteria food was too expensive for your family,” Deon added, clearly enjoying himself.‘That was because my mother was overly cautious about my health,’ Hector thought. ‘I was sick all the time as a k

“Huh?” The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Hector. Everyone stared at him, their eyes wide with disbelief. “Did he just say what I think he did?” a woman in an evening gown asked. “Did he just tell Paul that he’d been scammed?” “Who does he think he is, saying stuff like that?” “Is he tired of living in this family?” Paul turned to Hector, his glare sharp enough to cut glass. “What did you just say?” he demanded. “How dare you claim it’s fake and that I was scammed?! This is a necklace I bought for Grandma to wear as a family heirloom!” Hector reached out to take the bracelet to make his point, but Paul smacked his hand away and pulled the box closer. “This is a gift for Grandma. How dare you try to touch it with your filthy hands?! Didn’t you hear me say it was just recently released? How can you claim it’s fake when you’re so poor you wouldn’t know a real bracelet if it hit you in the face?!” Hector smirked slightly. “Of course, I know what the bracelet lo
