Greetings to the General!

"My husband, amazing!" Alexa exclaimed happily after reading the contents of the email.

"Why?" Max pretended to ask in surprise.

"Just now, Ms. Duran, the new manager of Chable Star, emailed me, saying I should go to her office on Monday to continue signing the contract,"

"Oh right, tomorrow is Friday, the last day of my shoot for the commercial," Alexa said cheerfully, unable to contain her excitement.

"I told you, didn't I—" before Max could finish what he was going to say, Alexa hugged him and suddenly kissed him, widening Max's eyes in unexpected shock. It was the first time his wife had hugged and kissed him, and he felt an adrenaline rush through his body, causing warmth to spread.

In that moment, Alexa realized she couldn't control herself and impulsively kissed her husband, blushing and feeling her face heat up as she withdrew her lips from Max's, but before she could move away a few inches, Max laid her down on the bed.

Both Alexa and Max's heartbeats quickened as this was their first intimate moment together. Alexa closed her eyes, letting her guard down, and upon seeing this, Max couldn't resist and kissed Alexa's sweet lips. That night was when they first tasted the forbidden fruit of apples.

...

The next morning, the two woke up happily. "Good morning, wife," Max whispered, planting a kiss on Alexa's cheek. Alexa smiled sweetly and lay against Max's chest.

"Max, get up, you still need to cook breakfast!" Alicia's loud voice could be heard knocking on the door of the couple's room.

Max and Alexa quickly got up and dressed, then they both emerged from the room a few minutes later, smiling and blushing. Alicia was standing by the door as they came out, noticing the peculiar expressions on their faces. She peeked into the room and seeing the bedsheet missing, she had a thought, her eyes widening before entering the room.

Upon entering, Alicia saw the bedsheet in the laundry basket and picked it up. Her eyes widened when she noticed the wet and bloodstained bedsheet. Trembling, she slowly turned to the couple with a sense of foreboding.

"Do you have your period?" Alicia asked in a trembling voice, pointing at Alexa with a sinister smile on her face.

Embarrassed, Alexa bowed her head and remained silent. At that moment, anger rose in Alicia as she shouted, "Don't tell me you gave it to that trash?!" Pointing accusingly at Max with a terrifying expression.

"Mom, Max is my husband," Alexa said shyly, hugging Max's arm.

Alicia had something to say but couldn't find the right words as she angrily pointed at the two, and in her rage, she fainted instantly.

"Mom!" Alexa shouted as she ran to her mother's side.

.....

....

...

Max accompanied Alexa to her workplace, and before she entered, Alexa gave him a kiss on the cheek. This gesture was new in their relationship, and it seemed that Alexa became sweeter to her husband after the recent turmoil, which pleased Max.

Max sent a message to Leon, informing him that he was going to the office. He then drove to the Crownguard Group building, and a few minutes later, he parked the car in an empty parking space before entering the building.

Max walked towards the private elevator, but as he was about to enter, he was stopped by the female receptionist. "Sir, this elevator is only for the Chairman of the company."

"Oh, it is intended for the Chairman," Max said with a smile.

The receptionist looked Max up and down and noticed his old suit, but still spoke politely, "Sir, may I know what brings you here?"

Max observed the professionalism of the receptionist and replied with a smile, "I am here to speak with Leon."

The receptionist paused upon hearing the name.

'Did he really refer to the president so casually? '

'Did they know each other? '

"Sir, do you have an appointment with the president? May I know your name?" she asked.

"Jenny, Do you know the company's high standards? Can't you see his attire? You don't need to waste your time on him; just call security and have him thrown out," a rude woman with thick makeup interjected into their conversation.

"Miss Cruz, this gentleman is here for the president," Jenny politely said to the woman with heavy makeup.

"Here for the president? Are you out of your mind? Can't you see what he's wearing?"

"Do you think the president associates with that kind of person?" Miss Cruz said disdainfully, looking at Max.

Max looked at the newcomer woman and smiled as he asked, "And who might you be?"

"I am Mitch Cruz, the front desk manager," she said arrogantly.

Max smiled and calmly said, "From now on, you are no longer the manager; you're fired."

The woman with heavy makeup laughed and angrily replied, "I'm fired? What right does a loser have to kick me out?" She then raised her hand and two guards approached.

"Break his legs and throw him out, and don't let him come back in," she ordered.

The two guards walked towards Max, but Max gestured to stop them and pulled out his phone.

"Looking for backup?" the woman smirked.

"Whoever comes now, no one can stop the fate of your two legs."

Max dialed a number and mentioned a few words, "Leon, one minute, ground floor near the chairman's elevator," before ending the call.

.....

....

...

In the president's office, Leon shook as he quickly stood up upon hearing Max's cold voice, "Hurry up, the chairman is downstairs; something might have happened down there," signaling his assistant before quickly rushing towards the private elevator.

.....

....

...

The woman laughed again, "Still pretending in front of me?"

"Hey, fool, keep pretending and using the President's name. Do I look like a three-year-old?" she sneered.

"Quickly break his legs and throw him out of the building," the woman shouted in anger.

"20," Max said, ignoring the woman.

"Keep pretending," the woman said, laughing.

"What are you waiting for? Break his legs," the woman ordered the two guards.

Before a minute had passed, the elevator rang out.

Ding!

"Who dares?!" a strong voice echoed, and the chairman's elevator opened for the first time.

The two figures walked out of the elevator, the one leading was a handsome and tall man in his 30s exuding a cool aura, while the other was a tall woman with a slim figure and exceptional beauty in her 20s emitting a gentle aura.

"President Leon!" greeted everyone present.

The woman with heavy makeup approached and said with a smile, "President, there is a troublemaker in the company, and he doesn't want to leave; he even used your name to deceive."

Leon looked at the heavily made-up woman and asked, "What did he do?"

The woman with heavy makeup smiled at Max before saying to Leon, "President, this person really has a thick skin; he called your name casually and he even wants to get me fired"

"If he says you're fired, then you're fired," Leon said coldly.

The woman with heavy makeup stopped in her tracks, "President, you're joking, aren't you?"

Leon looked coldly and remained silent; the woman angrily pointed at Max and said, "President, this trash-"

Slap!

A loud slap was heard, and everyone looked at the scene, seeing the woman beside Leon take a step forward and slap the woman with thick makeup.

"Repeat what you said, and you won't just get a slap," the woman coldly said as she wiped her hand.

The woman with heavy makeup touched her swollen cheek and remained silent, realizing that the man in front of her was no ordinary person, but it's too late to regret.

Max smiled at the previous receptionist and politely asked, "What is your name?"

"Je-Jenny Cruz, sir," she replied respectfully but still didn't know what was happening.

"From now on, you are the new front desk manager," he said with a smile and walked into the chairman's elevator.

Leon smiled at the surprised Jenny and instructed the guard to take out the woman with thick makeup before the two followed Max into the elevator and headed to the chairman's office.

When Max arrived at the chairman's office, he nonchalantly led the way inside. The two behind him stopped before simultaneously dropping their left knees and clasping their hands before loudly declaring, "Greetings to the General!"
