"Jesse, I called to let you know that I won't be coming to work tomorrow. You can help me convey the information to the director."Arthur heard Jesse chuckle at her own end and inquired further. "Ugh, did I say anything wrong? I'm just making an excuse for tomorrow."Are you being serious, Arthur?" "I'm serious. I'm just telling you so it won't look like I intentionally refused to come to work." Arthur replied to her and Jesse started laughing at him."Why are you laughing, Jesse?""You've got to be kidding me. You, the big boss, is making an excuse of absence from an employee like myself. Is it not funny?"Arthur was silent for a while. Now he got the reason Jesse was laughing. As long as he was still working as a security guard, Jesse was his superior. It was only right that he let her know since he won't be available the next day."Jess, I understand your point but I'm still an employee under you for now. It's only right that I do the right thing, which is what I'm doing now.""Hm
Arthur was approached by Oscar as soon as he got into the place. As they got into the building, Arthur called for an urgent staff meeting.All the employees of Raremix mills gathered at a large hall, except for those who were busy with production. Some whispered among themselves while the ones who knew Arthur before were stunned to see him back."Listen everyone." Arthur's hoarse voice halted the noises and they all paid attention.After a long pause to get the noises to die down, Arthur continued."Most of you already know who I am but for the sake of those who are new to this company, I'll introduce myself. My name is Arthur McCain, the only son of Gregg McCain, your boss."Arthur emphasized on the words 'the only son' and some people began to whisper among themselves. The old employees didn't murmur much but the new ones were stunned. They had seen Bryan a few times acting all bossy with his mother.If Arthur was Gregg's only son, who was Bryan? And where the heck had he been? Arth
The man knew very well that Arthur was still in his mid twenties. Although his body build looked like one who was older, his facial appearance clearly showed how young he was.Arthur gaped at the man with widened eyes. He wasn't expecting such a question. As soon as he realized that his mouth was open, he quickly closed it.Why would the man ask him such a question? Does he give him the vibe of a Mafia Lord?When the cab driver realized that he asked the wrong question, he quickly apologized."I'm so sorry for asking such a stupid question. It's obvious that you're an heir. However, I'm still curious to know why you're acting as a mall guard? I hope you're not offended by my question."The man's heart was already thumping faster. What has he done? What if Arthur became angry and got someone else to replace him because he was prying so much?Arthur began to laugh when the man stopped talking. The cab driver, on the other hand, didn't know how to react. Should he laugh with Arthur or no
Although he expected a serious reaction from his father, Arthur was stunned to see a different reaction. Gregg didn't get angry at the mention of his in-laws. Given that Gregg and his in-laws were not on good terms. He only sighed and continued eating. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a soft voice. "Oh! That's good to know.""Yeah." Arthur was smiling as he replied. He continued with his meal and then stopped eating when Gregg didn't say anything more."Dad, is anything the matter? Why are you not saying anything?"Gregg stopped eating, flashed a smile at Arthur and said. "It's good that you reunited with your mother's family. Um, what actually does Carl Ramon want from you? How did he know who you are?""He did his research before approaching me. Actually Dad, he made me his heir and gave me everything in his name."Gregg's mouth dropped. It was unbelievable. From what he knew about Carl Ramon, he was heartless that he even disowned his only daughter. He turned his face away a
"Forgive me for being so unconcerned. I've been working with you for over two months but haven't bothered to know your name. I'm sorry about that. Since you're already working for me, I'd like to know what your name is."The taxi driver smiled. He was also at fault. He should have gone ahead and told Arthur his name even without him asking. "It's Dario and I'm happy to be at your service."Arthur nodded his head and after a long pause, he said to the man. "Alright, Dario. I'm Arthur. Arthur McCain."With a cheerful grin on his face, Dario nodded and continued driving. He already knew Arthur's name some time ago.A while later, they pulled over at one of the addresses and Dario pointed to the place.Since the room number was part of the messages that was sent by Oscar, Arthur wanted to go over and knock on the door of Mr. Leo's house but decided to wait. Mr. Leo was one of the men who joined forces with Rosaline and sent him to prison. Arthur was on a mission to pay them with their co
"How do you know about that?"Arthur began to laugh at him. Strolling around the place, Arthur went to stand before Mr. Leo with a smirk on his face."Gregg, my father was merciful to you and your partner in crime. Unfortunately, I'm not my father. You conspired and framed me after being paid a huge amount of money by Rosaline, my so-called stepmother. Because of what you did. I dropped out of school and was sent to prison.""But, it wasn't me who sent you to prison. It was Rosaline who made your Dad do it." Mr. Leo retorted."But you had a hand in it. You framed me and now I've come to make you pay." Mr. Leo was becoming more scared. Especially because Arthur knew about his interview. But how did he find out about that?"How did I find out about the interview?" Arthur jolted him out of his thoughts and Mr. Leo gaped at him. "Well, you should be scared of me because you have no idea what I can do to end your career. I should have arrested you but won't do that. You'll never get a goo
"Let me guess, your partner in crime has been calling you. Well, he has just received his own dose and of my payback. I know you're coming back from an interview. You're also very qualified for the position but don't worry, you won't receive a call from them about any employment. The company belongs to me and you're never getting another job."Mr. Mason's jaws dropped. "Ho… How did you…" He paused in his words when his phone began to ring again."Go ahead and pick your call, then you'll confirm my words."Reluctantly, Mr. Mason picked up the call and placed the phone on his ears while throwing glances at Adam."Hello.""Arthur McCain just left my house. I think he's heading to yours. Maybe you should desist from going home at the moment." Mr Leo tried to warn his colleague but it was already too late for that.Well, the warning was no use because Arthur didn't need to meet with them face to face before making them pay."I think we're in more trouble because of joining forces with Rosa
Even though Anna and Hannah were twins, they had different voices and Arthur could differentiate them through it. It was why he learned that Annah was standing before him."Nice to meet you again, dear Anna." With his face tilted, Arthur spoke in a sullen voice and could imagine the look on the lady's face. She froze at a spot and her face paled instantly.Dario stared at Arthur open-mouthed and also directed his gaze back to the woman standing before them. He had never seen her before. However, the look on her face was like someone who had seen a ghost.Anna was speechless and could not get herself to utter a word.Arthur pretended not to notice her discomfort and went ahead to make an order."Come on, Dario. Go ahead and make your own order. I'm sure their food will have a nice taste."Hesitantly, the man awkwardly pointed to some dishes and Anna took note. She quietly turned around and began to walk away."Be snappy about it." Arthur ordered with a smirk on his face. He could see
