"What do you mean, and who are you?" Rex questioned the lady, who had just run into the audience.The lady turned to see the person who was questioning her; the voice sounded so familiar, or could it be him?As she turned, taking a glimpse of Rex, she took off her spectacles to make sure she was seeing clearly."Wait, are you now working for this company?" The lady stuttered as she noticed the person who asked her the question was Rex.The lady was Cassandra's friend who was reported missing a few months ago; however, it was later that it was confirmed she was held hostage over a mission she went on for her boss. It was the people who wanted to reap the rewards who caught her but didn't involve the police; they wanted to handle her by themselves. It was later that they were exposed by a spy planted in their group by Sophia's boss.However, her boss's identity was kept hidden, as the reporters claimed she didn't disclose who her boss was. "Sophia?" Rex called her with a surprised expr
Rex picked up the call and waited for her response. "Good day, sir," she greeted. "Yes, good day. How are you?" Rex responded in a cold tone. "I'm fine, sir. I've been calling because of the interview you said," she replied. "I'll still do that, it's not yet the time I fixed with you, remember?" Rex responded. "I'm sorry, sir; I just wanted to remind you," she pleaded. "No problem, I'm still aware," Rex responded, ending the call a few seconds later. "So as you were saying, Grandpa, what did you say last before the interruption?" he asked. "Oh, I've even forgotten, but let me use this medium to let you know that there's a meeting I'll be hosting in a week, but I think I should postpone it to next week because of your studies," Mr. Alphonsus said, placing his finger on his jaw and thinking for a while. After a few seconds had passed, he came up with a question: "When is the exam starting and when will it be over?" "Um, we're starting our last semester exam in a week from now.
Rex exhaled in a sign of dissatisfaction. He wondered what could make Caroline fix an appointment with him and still fail to turn up, or was she not demanding a favor from him anymore?Of course, Rex would not benefit much from her working for him; after all, he has enough workers in his company and his grandfather's company as well."Does it mean she was harmed on her way trying to come here?" he wondered, gazing up to the ceiling in confusion.After a few seconds passed, another thought ran through his mind: "Or did she intentionally decide not to come despite knowing today was the day for her interview? Wasn't she the one that called me, disturbing my rest all in the name of a reminder, then she chose to ghost me at last?" He clenched his jaws, gently hitting his fingertips on the desk out of annoyance."Well, one who bedwets her mattress will surely sleep on the bare floor," he concluded, and he stood up to leave.He took his briefcase and exited the office with his bodyguard, Tyl
"Young master, nothing happened; everyone was just worried about you. It was after Tyler arrived that our curiosity increased," Tyga answered."Where did you go? Why didn't you return with your security? Is the place so confidential not to go with your security?" His grandfather questioned him continuously.Rex let out a long breath upon hearing his grandfather's comment. He was now relieved that nothing bad happened to him in his absence, as he had thought earlier."I'm sorry that I kept you anxious, Grandpa; actually, I wanted to visit Golden Age Group for the rebranding of the company as we discussed," he said."But this is not the day we agreed about that, Rex, and why did you find it difficult to go with Tyler? The old man questioned."I'm sorry about that, Grandpa. I was provoked by someone, which made me want to be left alone," he apologized."Please always be careful," Mr. Alphonsus said, and they entered the building.Inside the building, Rex was seen in the kitchen preparing
He rushed downstairs, and within a blink of an eye, he had already returned to the upstairs with a box of liquid items in it."What's that for?" Rex questioned."It's the best remedy for him, sir. This is a special antidote for cases like this," Tyler responded.He opened it and placed it on Mr. Alphonsus's nose, using it to cover his entire nostrils. This made it difficult for the old man to breathe out air or take in oxygen."What are you doing, man? Stop that crap!" Rex yelled at him."Young master, he will definitely wake up within a few minutes," Tyler replied.Out of confusion, Rex hurried out of the sitting room, heading downstairs to call the estate emergency units. He wanted to take him to the hospital, as he concluded the situation could not be treated by first aid anymore.As he and the driver arrived upstairs to take his grandfather, he became astounded; his grandfather had woken up, looking even healthier than before!"What happened? What did you later do to him?" Rex aske
He tapped to read the message.Message: [I'm really sorry, sir, for turning you down yesterday. To be honest, it wasn't my intention to do that. I was seriously sick throughout yesterday. Even when I called to remind you, I was sick and thought I could make it, not knowing it'd get worse. Just as soon as the time we agreed reached, it became worse than ever before, which resulted in rushing me to the hospital. I'm still in the hospital right now. I just regained consciousness and decided to plead for your forgiveness.]As Rex finished reading the message, he felt so emotional for the lady."No wonder the behavior yesterday," he mumbled.He texted her back, requesting the hospital address, and Caroline responded immediately.Message: [Clear Junction Hospital, sir]"Well, I'll visit her if I manage to have free time today," he concluded."So, Mr. Edmund, as I was saying, you should arrange workers and get this done in a few days, at the latest, a week. We need to be active this season;
Rex sighed upon hearing this."Well, I'm sorry that I haven't called you all for a meeting concerning my recent plan for this company; however, I'll let you all know about it today or on my next visit," he apologized."No problem, sir; you don't have to be sorry for anything. You're the boss," Miriam teased, blinking her seductive eyes at Rex.Rex laughed sarcastically and responded, "Stop it; I like it.""Indirectly telling me to continue," Miriam responded, walking coquettishly towards Rex."And what about me dropping my contact information for you? Maybe you could call me and let's have fun," she said.Rex was already trembling in his seat; he hadn't experienced such a thing before. Though he knew staff workers do flirt with their boss, he never knew he'd be a victim of such a thing.Even if Rex was impotent, the allure of Miriam and her seductive eyes, steps, and flirtation words would make him potent immediately. His little guy has already been erected in his trousers like a ciga
Words could not describe how excited Cecilia was at the moment. Throughout her days as a chef, she had never seen or cooked food worth more than $1000 for someone, unless it was on an occasion where consumers were many.She stood there speechless with the money in her hands, glaring at her new boss, Rex, as he was leaving.As Rex walked downstairs, he noticed Tyga and his coworkers were already dressed and waiting patiently for him."Let's go, guys," he said, without even looking at them. They followed him as he headed toward the most expensive car in the garage. Of course, it's flexing time, so there is no reason to go with a cheap car.However, as they arrived at the stunning Lamborghini and Rex wanted to enter, Tyler rushed to open the door for him. Just then, Rex noticed something that made him stop his action and glare at them one after another."Is this how to get dressed in your city, Tyga?" he asked."I didn't say you all should be in your security outfits, or have I ever remi
