The next day, Brian resumed work early, drinking only a glass of tea before leaving home. Entering the company, he had everyone's eyes on him for his ridiculous way of dressing. In the real sense,Brian preferred to dress in cheap clothes, so as not to draw attention to himself. For someone who wears cheap clothes, no one would suspect he has a motive, or raise some suspicion about him.When he reached his designated desk, he chuckled softly. There in the Duke's Empire, his office was the biggest in the company. The interior decor, the chairs, and everything in it were of the highest quality. And here, he was only given a desk. Not even an office. After settling down, his boss, Jane, called for him a few minutes later. Brian hurriedly got up on his feet and went inside her office. “Good morning ma” he said softly, bowing his head slightly. Jane didn't acknowledge his greeting, instead she pointed at a pile of files, “Henry, these files contain everything about our products. As you al
Jane walked majestically out of her office, holding a single file in her hands. Turning to Brian, “Henry, let's go for the meeting.” she said, and Brian got up and trailed after her. On their way to the meeting room, Jane warned, “Henry, don't embarrass me there. Instead, when you don't know something, just keep quiet. Do you get that?” Brian simply gave a quick nod and continued tailing after her. Entering the meeting room, a few executives were already seated, so it seemed like Jane came a bit late. Her face turned red in embarrassment as she bowed her head slightly, “I'm sorry everyone for coming late. Let's proceed.” she said as she walked over to an empty seat. However, everyone's eyes were on Brian who obediently sat down beside her. Immediately he sat down, everyone stifled out a laugh. Pointing at Jane, “He must be your assistant. Didn't you tell him junior assistants can't sit while a meeting is going on? Why is he trying to embarrass you this much?” an elderly man said. H
Brian then said, “Sir, I didn't take your money, so I'm not going to admit it.” The CEO of Diadem Holdings, James, then said, “I've only been away for a few days, and you've turned the meeting room into a battleground to attack people?” His voice was extremely cold and frosty, sending shivers down everyone's spine. The old man, George then sat down reluctantly, still glaring angrily at Brian. Brian stood by the sides, wondering if everyone in this company was used to accusing people for no reason. As that matter wasn't that important, he waved it aside and focused on fishing out the spy, Marcus who he caught earlier. Frank's gaze landed on Brian, giving him a pleading look but Brian wasn't even looking at him. He was focused on his mission, the only reason he came to Diadem Holdings. James then said, “Good day everyone. It's been a long time, how's work coming up? Diadem Holdings has been slacking off lately, and I don't quite like that.” “We need a new model, one that would make
“Old guy? Which old guy?” Frank asked, slightly confused by Brian's statement. Brian had a sullen look on his face as he recalled how George embarrassed him in the presence of everyone. Turning to Frank, “That brat that accused me of stealing. I want you to teach him a lesson.” Frank nodded, “I'll make sure I teach him a lesson, you don't have to worry about him. George is used to causing trouble with employees he doesn't like. He's a sly man. Very cunning and dubious.” Waving that aside, Brian then said, “About the spy I told you, about, we really need to do something about it.” his voice was laced with urgency, as he knew that they were up to no good. Frank nodded, “Yes. We'll find a way to put the bug inside his office so we can get to know whatever they're up to before it's too late.”“But how?” Brian asked, narrowing his eyes as he thought of a reasonable plan, but nothing was forthcoming. Suddenly, an insane idea dropped in his mind, a sly smile curling up his lips, “We’ll
Brian stared at the lady, stunned by the words she just blurted out. “Brian Duke or Henry Anderson?” She wouldn't have known unless… Brian's gaze turned cold, “So you have my ID and business card?” He asked, his voice cold and frosty, sending shivers down Anna's spine. “Y..yes yes..” she stuttered, reaching out for her wallet to bring out the card. With the cards in her hands, she then said, “Mr Duke, please I need your help. I've brought you your ID and business card. Don't you think you should reward me?” Brian chuckled slightly, his eyes filled with amusement as he gazed at Anna, “Don't you remember? You claimed that I was just using my boss's card to show off. Don't you know how degrading it is to come back to beg the same person?” he asked, his voice raising slightly. “Give me my property and leave.” He snapped and Anna shivered. Not wanting to lose the opportunity in front of her, she suddenly burst into tears. “Mr Duke, my mother…my mother is in the hospital. I need..need som
“More than one spy working for different companies? That's impossible!” Frank breathed, his eyes widening as he thought of the possibility of Brian's words. Since it was from an important source, it was definitely true. “How are we going to fish them all out?” Frank added as he stared intently at Brian, somewhat shocked and confused.Brian sighed, “Let's just focus on who Marcus is working for. Once we're able to win Marcus to our side, finding other spies should be easy.” “Alright.” Frank simply said. Getting up to leave, Brian then said, “I need to go now. Jane would probably be waiting for me.” “Alright.”As Brian was walking through the hall, he was surprised to see George standing, like he was waiting for someone. “Thief, we meet again,” he grumbled, approaching Brian with anger burning in his eyes. “I've never lost to any employee before. You were only lucky because the CEO stepped in at that moment. If not because of him, you would have been sacked by now!” he growled. Bria
“Lilian!” George snapped, but she ignored him, frightened by Frank's presence. “Mr Frank..I..I can explain “ He added, turning to Frank who had a stern expression on his face. “There's nothing you need to explain.” Frank said coldly, “You're fired.” he added and George's face cracked slightly, beads of perspiration forming on his skin, “You can't fire me!” He yelled. pointing towards Lilian, whose expression was messed up, “We did this together. Why am I the only one being punished?!”“What did we do together? Mr George please!” Lilian snapped, her eyes blazing with anger as she glared at him. Frank grinned, “So you're going to deny it? How smart.” “You're fired too.” He said coldly and turned around to leave, leaving Lilian and George in their bewildered state. George glared at Brian, but his job was much more important,so he tailed after Frank, and so did Lilian. “Please.. we promise not to try something like this again.” George whispered, his eyes swirling with a thousand emotions
Brian inhaled a sharp breath, trying to contain the anger that was building up inside of him. With the way Jane was treating him, he felt like crushing her completely, ruining her career to the point of no repair. However, that has to wait. Immediately after his mission, he would show her what it means to be the CEO of the Duke's Empire. “What are you still doing there?!” Jane growled. “pick up that card and get me my lunch.” she ordered and resumed work without sparing Brian another glance. Picking up the card, Brian dashed out of her office and walked straight to the cafeteria. Holding the card tightly, he approached the lady taking orders and said, “I would like to order some fried chicken nuggets and some toppings.” The lady sized him up, her face scrunching up in disgust as she completely ignored him, turning to other people around to take their orders instead. Brian sighed,”Miss.. can you just take my order?” he asked, leaning close to stare at the lady, whose hair was slightl
