It's been a week since the death of the founder of the Arison company, Mr. Jacob. Since then, Reid has not returned to the company.All employees understand this because Mr. Jacob's grandson is definitely still in a state of mourning and is not ready to return to the company, leading all the employees.Moreover, before Mr. Jacob's death, it just so happened that Reid had just finished taking care of an important project, now all that remains is its implementation and that can be done by selected employees without Reid having to supervise it directly. Moreover, even though Reid is not there, there is still Amanda Waverly, who has always been Reid's confidant and can represent Reid to supervise and also give commands if something goes wrong.No employees or company officials complained about Reid's absence. That's why Amanda was surprised when this afternoon she got a call from Reid's personal assistant who said, "Miss Waverly, you have to help me get the young master out of this house.
Jacob's work room was left in a dark atmosphere, different from the previous time Amanda was here, the room was bright with all the lights on.Tonight only one light was on, and that was the lamp sitting next to the sofa, shining straight into Reid's face. His appearance made Amanda gasp in surprise.How come? Reid's appearance, which was usually clean and neat, was really messy this time, like he hadn't showered in a week. Or has Reid really not showered in that long?His chin, which was usually clean, was shaved, but this time it was covered in sideburns. His hair was messy. His face looked oily and worn, as did the plain blue shirt he was wearing.The shirt was ragged and completely unbuttoned, revealing Reid's broad, muscular chest. Amanda turned her face away when she saw that part.Why does Reid have to be this messy? Not to mention the aroma in this room is very strong with the smell of alcohol. Of course, on the table in front of Reid lay a lot of used wine bottles with the co
"You haven't been in for a week, of course the company lost its CEO. You know what a ship is like without a captain, right?” Amanda answered Reid's previous question, lying a little."Has the kei car project been distributed yet?" Reid asked, ignoring Amanda's proverb."Yes. Everything has been distributed to well-known showrooms. There's no report yet about the sales volume, but maybe soon," Amanda answered quickly. Talking about work always excited her.Reid snorted. “I see. If so then everything is fine. There hasn't been an emergency situation that requires my presence," said Reid. Then he threw away his shirt which had turned into a rag, then just lay down again.Amanda widened her eyes. “Hey, what are you doing? You can't sleep anymore, Reid. You should at least eat!” Amanda exclaimed. She grabbed Reid's arm. But just like her previous efforts, her efforts this time were also in vain. Reid's body didn't budge without any signs of being affected in the slightest by Amanda's pull.
The next dayAmanda was in her room, typing a report. For a full fifteen minutes, she focused on her laptop, until suddenly she felt something was wrong.Why is the company atmosphere so calm today?During the week during Reid's leave, the company was calmer because there were no new big projects being worked on, so the level of hectic felt by the employees was reduced. Also because the company is still in mourning. But usually companies aren't this calm, at least not for Amanda. Moreover, Amanda is tasked with being Reid's right hand, checking if something is wrong and fixing it.But today, the phone on her desk didn't ring at all. There were no reports from the managers that anything was wrong and Amanda was expected to check it immediately.Maybe Amanda should feel grateful. Does she really want to continue responding to chaos? Once in a while she also has to feel calm.The problem is, it's so calm that it feels suspicious.Amanda closed the report on her laptop. She got up and sta
Raynold was the person most surprised by Reid's arrival. How could Reid suddenly come? Even if Reid was planning to go to work, shouldn't he have come in the morning? If he knew that, Raynold would have chosen another way to attack Reid.Then Raynold's gaze turned to the figure of Amanda Waverly. The woman smiled with a happy face at Reid's figure.Raynold cursed in his heart. Amanda must have called Reid to come to the office right now. He should have made a more thorough plan regarding this woman. Raynold thought it was enough not to tell Amanda about this meeting, then his plan had succeeded. It turns out that this woman has sharp instincts so she can detect Raynold's plans.Reid walked with confident steps to the CEO's chair. Behind him was Charles Brown, his personal assistant who faithfully accompanied him."Sorry I'm late for this meeting," said Reid as he sat down in his chair. Then Reid glanced at Raynold, "I should have been informed earlier that an important meeting was goi
Meanwhile, in a different room, Raynold called his two sons. They had to change their plans again regarding the current situation.“What's wrong, dad? Why call us? Did the project presentation not go smoothly?" Brian asked.As the person who suggested this idea, Brian was also the one who helped the most in conducting research and compiling the report. It's not surprising that of Raynold's two sons, the one who asked most enthusiastically about the meeting was Brian. Meanwhile Harry just crossed his arms with a bored look.“The project was a mess, Reid found a lot of flaws in the project and chipped away at them. I have to revise it from the beginning," Raynold answered with a sour face.Harry, who initially had a bored face, immediately widened when he heard his father's answer. "You said Reid found many flaws in this project, did he come to the office today?" Harry asked.Raynold nodded.“Damn it!” Brian cursed. Even though he had prepared everything well, Reid still found a flaw? I
Luckily Reid pressed the gas pedal deeper so that when the enemy car was about to hit him from the side, Reid's car managed to dodge it.But of course the car didn't just give up, continuing to chase Reid's car.Reid stepped on the accelerator harder, going full speed.Charles, who was sitting next to Reid, was of course surprised by this change in speed. He turned to the young master beside him whose face looked serious.Charles wondered if the effects of caffeine made his young master so excited that he wanted to speed around at night?From the story that Charles had heard from Amanda, the young master really had extraordinary speeding abilities. Amanda even complained to Charles that she didn't want to share a car with Reid anymore, even though in fact Amanda was seen riding in Reid's car several times - it seemed like the marketing manager had forgotten her own promise.Charles started to feel worried when he saw that there were no signs that his young master was going to slow dow
The next day Reid still went to the office as usual. Charles had previously suggested that Reid not come to work yet and wait until the spies they ordered had finished investigating and given their report to Reid. At least after that, Reid will know who the perpetrator is, who the enemy he must avoid is.However, Charles' suggestion was immediately rejected by Reid.Just yesterday Reid apologized to company officials for taking a long leave and promised to set a better example, then now Reid wants to take another holiday?The company officials will ridicule him and never want to trust him again.Apart from that, Reid wasn't actually that worried about who the perpetrator was. Seeing how yesterday the perpetrator waited until late at night after Reid finished working overtime, that means the perpetrator intended to carry out his crime in secret, at least not in an area where people could see his figure directly.If the perpetrator not cared about the confidentiality of his own identity
