The manager of Automaximus went on his knees immediately and began to beg for Mr. Oliver's mercy. "Forgive me for my incompetence, boss." His voice was trembling with so much fear in it.As soon as everyone saw the manager on his knees, they all rushed to their knees too, pleading to Mr. Oliver even though they didn't have a hint about what was happening."Please, forgive us, sir!" They all chorused.Mr. Oliver, who was standing at a far distance from all his staff, took off his black eyeglasses, and the redness in his eyes was as thick as blood.Each of them shook their heads instantly, gazing at the floor. They couldn't look at him in the eyes."I gave you a simple order, but you failed to carry it out. How dare you? Is that how extensive your incompetence has grown?" Mr. Oliver pointed at the manager with his index finger in fury."It's not my fault, boss. It was Sophia's fault." The manager was trying to shift the blame away from himself to the innocent lady.'Ah!' Sophia's mouth
"Today happened to be one of the best days for us in this company," Mr. Oliver began to explain cheerfully as he moved closer to his staff.Some of the workers who didn't have an idea about what Mr. Oliver was pointing at had curious expressions. They couldn't wait for him to explain this."A very generous man came to our company today and bought all the cars in the VIP hall," he disclosed, making a sudden shock strike through the lobby."What?!" Most of the staff had their mouths wide open, exchanging glances at each other."How is that possible?""How can a single person afford such luxury?""I know there are so many wealthy families in this city, but spending a whole lot of money on cars on a whim is so strange and unbelievable."They were all awestruck and couldn't wrap their heads around it. It was indeed quite unbelievable."It was so strange and difficult to believe for myself until I confirmed the payment," Mr. Oliver opened up."Did you see this most generous man when he came
As Julianna had been involved in the matter, the other workers discovered that the young man, Snake and his boys had bowed to a few minutes ago was the Young Master Mr. Oliver was talking about. They found it hard to believe at first because the guy was only wearing cheap casual clothes.Upon learning this fact, one of the workers immediately blurted out before any of them could provide proof. "Boss, Julianna was the first person to meet the Young Master." A wide smile covered her face as the man said that. She was happy to have someone defend her until he continued with his explanation."But everything Julianna said about treating the Young Master respectfully was pure lies. She never welcomed him with honor; instead, she picked a fight with him."Julianna, whose face had contorted with anger, objected immediately. "What nonsense are you saying?"She was more than dumbfounded when the other workers snapped at her, "You are the one spewing trash, Julianna.""You lied, you are known fo
"Since we already know to whom the honor belongs, we don't have to waste much time," Mr. Oliver said, smiling at Sophia. The previous rage on his face had totally dissolved.Sophia is a gentle and modest lady. Another thing is that she's the shy type. This shyness had settled on her right now.She was feeling slightly uncomfortable. She gets nervous if a lot of attention is on her.This time, everybody in the lobby had their eyes on her. She had done so well; she deserves this honor, absolutely.Then Mr. Oliver said, "Walk forward, Sophia."It was more like walking through a hall of fame.All other workers around her made a way out of the crowd as she slowly stepped out in honor to the center of the lobby.She covered her eyes with her hands, feeling so nervous and shy. The attention was too heavy for her. She just can't bear it.Well, the honor she brought for herself is way better than the embarrassment Julianna brought upon herself.They're two different people with two different d
David had arrived home some minutes ago. He was patiently waiting for his cars to arrive.Just then, Snake and his boys showed up at his estate. They drove quickly in the direction David gave them and parked in the garage.Getting out of the cars, David appeared to them suddenly as they all bowed to him with great respect."Live long, boss." They chorused.David had a slight smile, remembering that was the same greeting they used for Don Clinton. This time they had transferred the same respect to him as well.In the past, Snake and his boys knew nothing about David's identity. They were only respecting him due to Don Clinton's order.But this time, they had learned some things about him. The boys couldn't believe that a young wealthy man like David could choose to live a low-key lifestyle.He didn't even wear expensive clothes. He preferred to wear something simple and cheap. They never knew he was so rich until they drove the five expensive cars to his home.Learning that he also liv
In the evening, in Mrs. Wendy's bedroom, Patrick and the other children were seen taking seats around the old woman's bed.For some time now, Granny's health issues have become unpredictable and very alarming. If she's somewhat okay today, in the next two or three days, her health issues will resurface. That was the condition of her sickness.Granny was a hypertensive patient. The problems in her family had worsened her health condition.All the children gazed at the old sick woman lying on the bed. They all wore somber expressions because this was the third day the old woman's sickness hadn't allowed her to leave her bed."When are we taking Granny to the hospital? Her sickness is already becoming so critical," Alfred asked, his face filled with concern.Patrick glanced at his son, Alfred, and then at all the other family members too.He moved his gaze all around until he briefly locked eyes with Elena. In a flash, she retorted coldly, "Why are you staring at me? Provide your son wit
"There's a saying, it says, 'coughs...'" Granny was explaining as she coughed."Sorry, mother!""You can suspend all you want to say till other times, Grandma."They were all expressing their concerns."I already told you that I'm fine," the old woman insisted, straining her sick voice. Lady Wendy is the type that doesn't accept defeat easily. She was sick but she wasn't ready to accept it.All her children went silent for her. She might get furious if they picked a further argument with her."The saying says, 'act as if you're dead to know those who truly loved you.'" Elena's eyes widened as Granny said this. Her face felt cold instantly, feeling so bothered about how to change the bad narrative from her mother's mind."The saying is worth more than any of you could think of it." The old woman placed her right palm on her chest as she continued."I wasn't even pretending to be sick yet I was able to know those who want me dead.""Don't say that, mother. You will live longer on this E
Alfred was worried that he might end up taking the whole blame if he failed to speak up. Quickly, he explained, "Grandma, I want to tell you that only a single person can't carry out this assignment. It's not as easy as that."All attention shifted to Alfred as he said that,'What does he mean by that?''Why is Alfred trying to wash only himself clean?'These were running through their minds, and they all had a confused expression, gazing at him. Except for Granny, whose face tightened in curiosity. She was trying to pick out Alfred's point from his explanation."Do you mean you made an attempt to look for him but the rest of them failed to support you?" Granny asked out of curiosity.Alfred raised his head, looking at the rest of the family. He didn't want to be too quick to reply. The expression on their faces would determine his reply.To his surprise, he couldn't even decode what the expression on their faces meant. Although he couldn't understand it, one thing was very certain: t
