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
And just like what Ms. Athena told Alex, though limited, this person in front of him had a pale complexion, a tall figure, and an aura that commanded respect, but at the same time, he was the lustful type. He was expecting it to be merely a rumor, but it would appear it was true.He was no ordinary man; on both sides, two ladies wearing similar masks were serving him liquor, while the other one was very touchy with him."Hmm? Who are you?" The young man finally took notice of Alex's arrival, but then he recalled something as he spread his arm wide open in comfort while inviting Alex to take a seat on the expensive couch.In response, Alex said."I am, Ale-...." In the middle of his sentence, Alex halted his words."What's the matter?" The young man smiled kindly at Alex.Alex shook his head. It was better for him to hide his real name in this kind of environment, not to mention the curious and judging eyes of the guests that were observing him. With that being said, Alex proceeds to
At this juncture, the whole building floor light turned dim, then Alex, Nathan, and the other guests' attention were suddenly pulled when the male host of the event on stage was introducing the line-up of young ladies that were wearing revealing dresses. It was a provocative sight for the male guests in the crowd."Ladies, any gentleman!" The announcer was purposely building up the tension in the atmosphere to set the mood. "Ahem, these pretty ladies are of the highest quality and will be performing for tonight's event! I wish everyone enjoyed it... Well, start with the first contestant!"With that, there were thunderous claps and cheers from the hundreds of guests echoing in the room.These young ladies in their late teens were then forced to dance and perform on stage for the guests' entertainment, despite wearing revealing clothes and a little more, they would be bare naked! At the event, everyone had to wear a mask, so no one really knows who was showing a lewd face while watching
"No, I change my mind.." Alex shook his head. There was no point in playing with a clown. He proceeded to walk toward the exit.On the other hand, Nathan Lester was gritting his teeth as he saw Mr. Crown giving him the cold shoulder. But then he thought of something as he smirked while glaring in Alex's direction.At this juncture, the two grizzly guards were blocking the exit."Halt!"Alex had to stop his pace. He locked eyes with the two burly guards that looked like a bunch of grizzly bears with their large frames, even though Alex didn't show a sliver of fear while facing them.There was a tense atmosphere in the air as the youngest of the two guards spoke with a deep tone to Alex. "Brother, the young master Nathan is asking you to come to upstage; why don't I escort us two brothers there?" He even winked in young master Nathan's direction. It was as though he was saying that he would handle this trouble for him, and he could more or less guess that the boss wanted Alex to get pu
The next day, Alex arrived at the company. His shoulder was dropping, with a tired expression on his face. It couldn't be helped that last night he had to calm Rihanna down and do some explaining to her panicking mother, who happened to call the cops at the time Rihanna was taken.Needless to say, Alex didn't get a proper night's sleep last night with all the chaos and trouble. "There shouldn't be any more trouble with the police getting involved." Alex mumbled to himself while massaging his shoulder, which had gone sour after his fight with the younger grizzly guard; those guys were too tough to crack.At the back of his head, Alex thought. 'It would have been a different story if they had cooperated in taking me down.'Anyways, Alex had to finish some things in the office and explain to Ms. Athena about the failure of the negotiation. He wondered how she would react to this new....At this moment, Alex finds his co-workers going back and forth carrying documents in panic and answer
