*****“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
*****‘So she doesn’t hate roses?’Apart from feeling greatly relieved, what Rex Magnus was feeling right now as he gazed at his wife was great joy and pride.That’s right, he was currently feeling extremely proud of his wife for not being influenced by people or things.He still hadn’t realized that Fiona had only accepted the rose from him unconsciously and not willingly.Having returned to her senses and realizing what she had done, Fiona first went blank for almost five minutes before returning to her senses.She doesn’t need to be told at this moment that her grandmother would definitely not only be furious at her now but also at her husband.‘Why had I let my emotions take over me?’She lamented as she shut her eyes for a few seconds to calm her raging heart, and when she opened them again, they had returned to the normal cold and expressionless feeling they always portray, but Rex Magnus wasn’t moved by this at all.“I would take that as you having forgiven me.”Altho
***** “Cousin, Rex, I could see that you two are enjoying yourselves bullying my employee.” Hearing this voice, Rex Magnus wasn’t surprised at all as he already knew that Ethan had been hiding in a corner before finally stepping out. The person shocked and scared was Fiona. She instantly regretted allowing Rex Magnus to fight for her. Of cause, although she doesn’t know to what extent Ethan abhors her, she understood that he does and she also knew that their grandmother would always do everything he wants which immediately made her nervous to the core. “No… no, we weren’t bullying her?” Her voice shook slightly. “Then what were you two doing to her?” Ethan's face currently looked utterly serene, but deep inside, he was breaming with unimaginable anger. ‘How dare this beggar’s piece of trash spoil my already good mood?’ He glanced at Rex Magnus with hatred-filled eyes. Rex Magnus’s suspicion was correct: Ethan had been concealing himself behind the Resources manager from the s
