SLASH!"Ah!"The slashing of the lackey's hand right from his elbow and his cry of anguish bellow!THUD!The full hand drops to the ground and begins scampering. It appears to still be alive.SPUTUM!SPUTUM!Blood gushes out of the lackey's barely hanging shoulder, piling up on the floor.The acidic scent of blood fills the air! At this point, no one cares about the fact that he is naked from his waist down.Yvonne and the remaining ten employees are staring at this scene in horror."Urgh.""Urgh.""Urgh."Yvonne and five of the remaining employees begin vomiting. They seem to have a phobia for blood. It turns their stomach to the point where they can't stop vomiting up everything they've eaten. Yvonne had almost vomited on Lucian, but fortunately, he had seen through her on time and moved far away!The burly figure shakes his head at the sight and tears the lackey's pants into two.He uses one of the pieces to tie up his bleeding barely hanging shoulder. Lucian wants him to live. Ev
"There was a feud in the company. These three got into a fight and while that one over there could snap out the other two, he sustained severe injuries and fainted. I'm sure guys will know why. That lady over there -""We know her condition, Mr. Kennedy," the two assessing the lady raise their heads and say respectfully, cutting him off. "She appears to have a phobia for blood. We will take our leave now. In case, there are any more questions, we can contact you, right?""Yes, feel free," he responds with a calm smile. "By the way, which hospital are you taking those two to?""Since you are involved, Mr. Kennedy, we will be taking them to Silver Crest Hospital, the best hospital in this district. I hope that's no problem.""Of course not. Feel free. That was the reason I asked anyway.""Alright," they smile. "We will inform the families of those two about their deaths, so they can take care of every possible charge.""Can I get your autograph now, Mr. Kennedy?" The same lady rushes ov
There is a huge golden circular chandelier that hangs a little low in the middle of the office as the halogen bright light cascades upon the green orchid plants situated at three different positions in the office. The plants alone give the office a soul-soothing fragrance. If care is not taken, one can easily dose off at mere contact with the office.The sun shines so brightly that its rays reflect on the huge brown Turkish mahogany desk in the center of the office filled with multiple files on a straight line, a can of pen, a MacBook Pro, and a flower pot containing a chrysanthemum flower. Behind the Turkish mahogany desk is a throne-like golden chair and in front of it are two roller ash seats for the chairman's guests. To the far left is a two-seater ash sofa and in front of it is a glistening black table with a flower pot containing a rose flower in it.To the far right-hand side is a simple, yet beautiful bookshelf with a lot of company documents and novels as well.There is
"Yvonne? Yvonne?" Lucian calls and gently taps on the desk to get her attention.Yvonne's cheeks burn and she flushes in embarrassment seeing she has just been caught ogling. She quickly averts her gaze and lowers it to the desk before slowly sitting.Lucian chuckles lightly at her flushed cheeks and sips his coffee. "I didn't catch you ogling. It didn't happen. Now answer my question."Of course, he did. He had just said that to make her feel better.Yvonne, however, knows he just lied. But since he can go that far to make her feel better, she quickly composes herself and sighs as she says, "Before Mr. Chad Kennedy purchased this company, we were on the verge of closure.""Why?" He furrows his brow."I can't exactly say Mr. Wood," she sighs exasperatedly. "Things just kept deteriorating and we kept losing funds. "We had to depend on loans. But at a point, all the banks refused to offer us loans until we pay up the money we owed them."I didn't know what to do. I had tried so many ti
The unnamed lady is perplexed as to why Yvonne is getting angry with her so quickly. Yvonne, whom she has known since she began working at Silverlight Microsoft Company, is carefree and rarely gets angry.In normal circumstances, she would never become enraged over something so insignificant. What is going on now?Is it really her question that has her riled up? She has this feeling in her guts that her question is far from the reason Yvonne is riled up right now, however, she knows how important her job in this company is to her, so to maintain it and not end up losing it because of something as insignificant as that, she can only lower her head and sincerely apologize, "I'm sorry, Miss Xavier, I won't speak again."Yvonne sighs deeply and pats herself on the head. She can't actually tell what is wrong with her. She just suddenly started having a mood swing ever since Lucian left. Perhaps, could it be because he refused to let her lead him out? Or is she literally falling deeply in l
"Wowwwwww!" The employees' mouths are wide agape. He must be so cute since even Miss Xavier seems to be smitten by his beauty! They exclaim in their hearts.The guys in the room are feeling so jealous. They have no doubt that 90% of these ladies, if not all, will willingly spread their legs for the CEO if he only coughs at them! Hah! Their hearts are green with envy. These are ladies that they have been trying to woo for decades now but none of them have been giving them face! But now these same ladies are clamoring about a young man in his late teens. They are mostly his seniors!Hmm, they sigh in their hearts. It must be because he is rich. Money does almost everything now."Miss Xavier, please tell us his name!""Yes, tell us his name! Perhaps, he might be on social media! We will look him up ourselves and follow him!""Please!" They gather around her and start urging.This time around, it is not only the low-level staff doing it. The ladies amongst the nine high-level staff are
Besides, even if he told Jaxson who he truly is, he doubts he will believe him. Jaxson had indirectly called him a pauper while he was talking seconds ago. How then will someone like that believe him if he told him such a thing? He will rather pass on that. He can't afford to waste his breath."You work here now? As what? Security? And did you say Miss Xavier hired you herself? Hahaha, who are you that Miss Xavier will personally attend to you? And who would dare go against Seth? You must still be joking with me, right?" Jaxson has an amused expression as he asks, seemingly as if he is confidently saying, who will hire a punk like you? Even our security you are not worth being! And who would dare defy Seth's order?Lucian can't bother continuing this conversation. He can see Jaxson is amongst those who hiddenly mock him. If not for the memory they shared in the past, he would have called up Yvonne and had her fire him! Jaxson's personality irks him. But for good old days, he will jus
"You are awake, Young Master Hutton," Chad stares through the rearview mirror and says, snapping Lucian out of his reverie.Lucian stiffens slightly as he is not used to being called Hutton but he quickly masks it and shrugs off nonchalantly. He believes he will become used to it someday. But definitely not today anyway. "As you can see, I am, old man. Lest I forget, I told you to wait for me because I want to discuss something with you.""I'm listening, Young Master. What might this important something be?" Chad responds respectfully and very politely, his head slightly bowed even though he is driving.He is so respectful! Lucian exclaims frantically in his head. Chad's respectful behavior is so hard for him to stomach. He is his elder yet he respects him so much! He is not so comfortable with it. But then, he knows this is not something he can talk Chad out of, he can only sigh helplessly and say, "I don't trust that young man that was taken to the hospital. No matter what, you sho
