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
*****‘Why had I let the fear of my wife and mother-in-law took over me last night?’Inside a taxi, Rex Magnus could be seen currently seated with a big frown on his face as he laments to himself.After leaving his wife's workplace earlier, Rex Magnus had rushed to the hospital in search of the Rodriguez family, but unfortunately, he was told that they’d left the previous night, and poor Rex Magnus, he instantly became filled to regret as to why he hadn't asked for their contact before leaving the previous night. He began to mourn about how had with his hands thrown such a great opportunity to please his wife away.It must be known that one of the reasons why Rex Magnus had helped the old man was because of his wife, so when Rex Magnus realized that he had only helped in vain, he became filled with grief.It was when Rex Magnus was busy lamenting that a sudden thought crossed his mind.Then without bothering to think about it, Rex Magnus immediately acted on the thought and st
*****“What! Are you searching for me?”Upon careful listening, Rex Magnus finally discerned that the voice originated from a petite speaker affixed to the edifice adjacent to the colossal gate.“Great!” An exclamation suddenly sounded from the speaker. “Now that you see, I will ask you again. Who are you and what do you seek from the Rodriguez family?”Rex Magnus immediately became further confused when he heard the laziness in the voice. ‘Am I in a different place from the one being feared by everybody?’Just as Rex Magnus finished thinking like this, he heard several footsteps approaching the gate from the inside, then he watched closely.The moment Rex Magnus saw the owners of the disorganized footsteps, his mouth twitched repeatedly.“Hey you, are you deaf? I’m asking you, what are you looking for in the Rodriguez family estate?”“Brat, don’t you know that you're on private property? Do you so much wish to lose an arm or a leg?”They began to bombard Rex Magnus with tons
*****“Sir Medicine God?”The fool-like men glanced at each other's faces, looking all lost when they heard the term used by their second master and the shock in his voice, but Cliff Rodriguez couldn’t care about that right now.“You Fools!!! How dare you make The Sir Medicine God Wait outside?”He glared ferociously at the men behind him, making them tremble in fear.“Sir… sir, we… we..”“We What? Hun! You still dare to talk back to me instead of going to open the gate, do you want me to break that mouth of yours for you?” The Rodriguez family's second brother snapped at the person who just spoke, making him instantly run anxiously to open the gate.“Sir Medicine God!!! Where have you been since morning, I’ve searched the entire city for you, but you were nowhere to be found!”Rex Magnus became confused when he saw how the person who had been all rude to him last night behave.‘Is this still the rude guy who angered me to the core last night?’Just as the gate opened, Cliff
