***** As usual, Rex Magnus rose early the following day at 4:00 am to do all the household tasks and cook breakfast for his father-in-law who rarely left his room, his wife who was headed to work, and his mother-in-law before she left to visit her friends.Poor Rex Magnus. Although the villa wasn’t huge, it wasn’t a place a single person should be cleaning, and there had been three professional cleaners that comes to clean it every few days and do the laundry then, it had stopped exactly the day he moved in.Apart from initially being good at cooking, Rex Magnus hadn’t been used to the tasks at first.That’s right. Rex Magnus was so good at cooking that if he claims himself to be a king at it, only a few people would dare claim themselves as the emperor. It was also because of his extraordinary talent for cooking that made his mother-in-law order him to go help out prepare the old matriarch's Birthday Feast the previous day.But that was that. when it comes to house chores,
*****“Hun?”Rex Magnus couldn’t help but become stomped when he heard all the curses and insults that just came out of his mother-in-law's mouth and saw her redden eyes.Poor him, although he doesn’t register everything, his mother-in-law doesn’t seem to be done with him yet.“You bastard, you are dead today!! You're just so dead already! How dare a useless thing worst than a dog’s shit like you speak to me anyhow? I must do everything in my capacity to convince my daughter to divorce you bastard who might go so far as to beat me up in the future!”Rex Magnus' eyes instantly widen when he heard this, then he became helpless.Although he doesn’t say what she accused him of saying, Rex Magnus doesn’t want to start his day badly today, so he decided to just apologize once and for all.He breathed in deeply with a resigned look on his face.“Mother, I’m sorry, okay? I shouldn’t have said you were a liar or blind.”Poor Rex Magnus. With him admitting to that, his day wouldn’t star
*****“Is this the time an ordinary assistance be resuming work?”Inside the Johnson family's company, a small company within Chase City, in the resources department, a tiny department in the company. At this moment, a young lady whose face was painted heavily with makeup could be seen glaring at Fiona Jonson with disdain and contempt in her eyes.Hearing how rude the lady was, Fiona who just entered and hadn't had an encounter with her before couldn’t help but glance behind her, thinking the lady was speaking to someone else, but seeing that everybody was only gazing at them with nobody looking to be the one being spoken to, Fiona became confused.She hesitated for a few seconds before pointing to her chest and asking blankly. “Perhaps, ma'am is speaking to me?”The lady with heavy makeup on her face immediately glared even more furiously at Fiona when she heard her question.“No- no, I’m speaking to myself, you useless assistant acting like the boss and reporting to work at
*****‘I guess my life just start getting worst now,’ Fiona smiled sadly before dropping her handbag and lunchbox on the ground.Then she glanced at the shelf, not knowing where to start.Had it been to just arrange the books, it would have been way easier, but arranging them in alphabetical order, means, she has to go through all these books first and decide which alphabet was before which before she could start arranging them, and no mistake must be made.Perhaps, if the books had been a little over a hundred, it would have also been easier to do, but with the huge shelf of disorganized books she was presently gazing at, she felt it would contain almost or beyond a thousand copies of all kinds of books.Fiona suddenly almost teared up, but she controlled herself forcefully before breathing in deeply and started taking down all the books from the huge shelf one after the other.Seeing this, the lady with heavy makeup on smiled extremely joyfully, then she took out her iPhone 11
***** Back in Crests Company, the Johnson family's companyAfter working herself tirelessly nonstop for more than three hours, Fiona finally finished arranging the huge shelf neatly.With sweat covering her face, she admired her work.Throughout all this, her fellow employees in the resources department had been giving her all sorts of pitiful and complicated gazes, wondering what she had done to deserve this punishment she was receiving.Also, almost everybody within the company has heard of her punishment and were all filled with the same question, just that none of them dares to question Fiona.When she was still extremely busy, the Resource department manager had gone several times to check on her, and the more miserable she sees her look, the more excited she became.She had also taken several pictures of Fiona and sent them to Ethan who in turn kept praising her and continued changing his phone's wallpaper every minute.Poor Fiona, she knew nothing at all.Because
As Fiona poses her question, Alan Bottoms felt a slight tremble in his heart at the sound of her chilly voice. However, in a sudden turn of events, his smile grew wider.‘Is she trying to play a hard-to-get game with me?’Instantly, Alan Bottoms felt a great adventurous spirit boom within him, but he controlled himself well so that he wouldn’t smile in a perverted way.“Actually, I was only passing by your company when I realized you must be around, so I decided to say hi to you.”The moment all the ladies present heard this, they became filled with envy and their stomachs with butterflies, but what could they do other than watch and gasp?As for Fiona, her face only became frostier. ‘How could he have stopped me from having my meal because of such a foolish reason?’ She thought coldly.Of cause, she wasn’t that dumb to believe Alan Bottoms' excuse and so was everybody present.But not being in the mood to entertain him, Fiona acted as if she doesn’t know he had lied.“
*****“Did… did she just reject the roses?”“Oh, My God!!! She just rejected a gift given by the God-like young master which every other lady in this world would die to have!”“This is so crazy!!!”“What the hell is wrong with the first Miss?!”Everybody's voice began to sound in a hushed manner.It was as if they had never heard of a lady rejecting a guy's gift before.Right now, inside an office located on the topmost floor of the company's building, Ethan who had been watching the scenes going on downstairs with the greatest smile on his face was now looking like he couldn’t wait to butcher someone right now.Initially, he had thought Fiona would accept the bunch of roses because of the threat and tension caused by the crowd's chant. Never had he thought she would actually reject it.In no time, Ethan's breathing began to quicken, and unconsciously, he began to ooze out strong killing intent.“This stupid cousin!” He growled hatefully and suddenly pushed out with all the
*****“What’s this fool doing here?”“How could this bastard show himself at this sort of time, does he want to cause a misunderstanding between the first miss and Mister Bottoms?”“This useless fool coming at such a wrong time!”Unable to control themselves anymore, the crowd began to mutter angrily while glaring furiously at Rex Magnus.Although Rex Magnus heard them all, he wasn’t bothered at all nor does he give a single damn.Still smiling brightly at his wife, he walked around the Ferrari parked before him and walked toward her.“Hello, wife.” He greeted again while automatically ignoring Alan Bottoms as if he never knew he was there.Seeing this, a strong and thick killing intent that could cause the death and heart attack of a normal person flew out of Alan Bottoms’ body and concentrated completely on Rex Magnus.But who was Rex Magnus, the divine general that has gone through thousands of wars and had killed thousands of millions of people directly and indirectly, so
