It was 7:00 in the morning, and Alex could be seen getting out of the bathroom with a bath towel on his hips. He was feeling refreshed.Suddenly, there was a continued banging on the door of his apartment, startling him. Before Alex could respond, he heard an angry roar behind his old oak door."Alex, you bastard! This is the third month you haven't paid; I swear I'll kick you out myself if you can't pay me this month." "..." Alex waited for the footsteps outside to disappear before he slowly opened his room's door. Up ahead, he could see a middle-aged man with a mirroring bald head leaving in a huff; he was this apartment building's landlord. Alex had been here since he graduated from college.Thankfully, the landlord wasn't so persistent."I should move out of here..." Alex smiled bitterly. Well, he could understand why the landowner would be mad. He should pay his debt and start planning to loan a house. Furthermore, this building is getting cramped.Just then, the next-door room
"Are the employees here all so insensitive?" Alex mumbled to himself; he was a bit dissatisfied as he continued to browse the variety of luxury suits!Just then, Alex paused as he saw two boutique staff members glancing in his direction. At first, he thought that they were simply arranging the tuxedos.It looks like they've been trailing behind him for some time. Of course, Alex would notice the two of them.At this point, Alex was watching as the two male boutique employees walked up to him. One was tall and skinny, while the other was short and chubby."Sir, my apologies for the inconvenience, but...." The short, chubby boutique employee had a nonchalant expression as he said that sentence. He halted his speech for a moment before proceeding. "....But we would like you to leave this section. As you can see, only our distinguished guests are allowed here. May I ask you to leave?"Alex could only shrug it off as he nodded."I understand." At this time, Alex was in another section of
Alex was seconds away from paying for the Giorgio Armani suit that he liked, but unfortunately, someone had to pick a fight with him for the suit, and on top of that, the sudden arrival of the boutique manager!Alex couldn't help but click his tongue. "I hope this lady manager is sensible..."But then, Alex's facial muscles twitched as he saw a female employee from earlier who was occasionally glancing with ridicule at him.That lady employee came to explain in a whisper at the boutique manager's ears, which made her eyebrows flare as she took a peek at Alex as though she were sizing him up.Alex didn't expect that he would be cut off by the arrival of the boutique manager, who wouldn't let him explain his side of the story. Clearly, she was being one-sided!"Actually, Mrs. Manager Katherine, this is what happened....." Mr. Kim was very articulate with his words, telling the manager about his grievance about buying the clothes."...I already ordered it." Mr. Kim managed to convince th
Inside the office of the Landmaster Company, there was quite a commotion as the company worker saw the announcement on the bulletin board."Huh? The sales manager position is being changed?" A female company employee chimed on the side."Who could be the new manager?" Another company employee commented, and just like that, everyone in the office started gossiping with interest."Who knows? But someone from our department would likely be chosen!" Someone excitedly remarked.Just then a male employee blurted out, interrupting everyone. "Hey guys, I heard something unbelievable from the Company Secretary. It's Alex; he's the new sales manager!" "What?! Although it's the worst managerial position, is Alex capable? I highly doubt it, and wouldn't the previous Roger Plump hate him to the bone?"The Landmaster Company's sales department employees had an expectant look on their faces as they knew that another interesting occurrence was bound to happen!Currently, Alex could be seen calmly pa
Alex knows that he has a bad record in the company with his conflict with the previous CEO's son, Bruce, and his ex-girlfriend Shenna, and even now, his coworkers' gossiping hasn't completely died down. A single spark of suspicion was enough for Alex's co-workers to suspect him. Although Alex could just avoid and dismiss all of these tiresome accusation by declaring openly that he was the company CEO and that it was his father, Charles Crown, who brought it for him. However, where would be the fun in that? Not to mention, Alex wanted to know what kind of cards his ex-manager Roger had in his hands!Alex couldn't help but crack up, 'it would appear that a certain someone would have to run around butt naked,' he thought while glancing at the ex-manager Roger putting on a show. He was at the peak of his confidence that he could pin the blame on Alex. With that, the ex-manager Roger stated viciously. "The loser would have to run butt naked in front of everyone!" Hearing that Alex's
'Forgive Mr. Roger?' Alex couldn't help but laugh in his mind at manager Glenn's statement.In response, Alex said. "Manager Glenn, the decision is already mad-""That's where you are wrong, junior Alex!" Managed Glenn confidently said while cutting Alex's words in half. "As you can see, the other department manager has given their vote for Mr. Roger to remain as the sales manager!"Alex wasn't that naive. The sudden appearance of manager Glenn and the other department managers and their voting for Mr. Roger to remain as the sales manager goes without saying that it wasn't a mere coincidence! It's clear as day that they want to save Mr. Roger's position.At this time, department manager Glenn let out a hearty laugh. "Junior Alex, it looks like manager Roger won't be giving you the position anytime soon!"Instantly, a flash of coldness appeared deep within Alex's dark eyes. So they want to bully him with their position and numbers? If it was before, he would have compromised. Alex snor
Meanwhile.... "He is not a man of his word. What a bull!" "So our former manager only amounted to this much? He doesn't have a backbone. This is disappointing!" Alex's coworkers didn't hold back on their comments and were getting more and more vicious than their previous remarks. It had to be mentioned, that ex-manager Roger's relationship with the other managers was starting to collapse while they were withdrawing themselves, as they didn't want to be associated with him any longer than necessary as there was a high possibility that they would be affected; it was too risky. Also, they didn't want to make an enemy out of the company employee and become a target for criticism! "Alright, alright, I'll do it." The ex-manager Roger felt like pulling every strand of hair out of his body. He glared at Alex, who merely smiled nonchalantly, as though his misery had nothing to do with him. Ah! That guy pissed him off to the bone. 'Isn't it simply undressing for a duration of time? I
Alex drove his Mercedes-Benz toward the location that Ms. Athena had given him. He glanced at his wristwatch; it was 4:00 p.m. or noon, so there was quite a bit of traffic in the city center.He let out a sigh; luckily, he arrived in time at the meeting place. Looking ahead, Alex could see an elegant-looking restaurant as the diners with elegant and expensive suits and dresses entered with their partners. "So this is the place..." Alex took a deep breath and hoped that nothing would go wrong. Soon, Alex entered the prominent-looking restaurant, but the first thing he noticed was that there wasn't any presence of bodyguards, which is odd considering this is a high-end restaurant. What's even more unusual is that there weren't any diners present inside, apart from the occasionally appearing servers. It was very quiet inside.'Weird....' Alex murmured to himself.Anyway, Alex took his seat at the farthest table. 'Miss Athena said I should wait here; I hope it won't be long...."Just th
