Immediately, she stood up and shrugged, adjusting her top."Sorry, I slipped and fell on you," she apologized as she began to leave the room hurriedly, her face hung low in embarrassment, without waiting for him to say anything.Henry wasn't a fool. He knew it was more than just a simple fall. He stood up and walked outside of the apartment.He touched his lips with his hand and smirked. It was all a mistake that wouldn't repeat itself again.He got into his car, and as his phone rang, he picked it up and checked it. He saw that it was a reminder that Stella's birthday was only five days away.The fuck, he hadn't prepared anything for her!Stella was really busy and wouldn't think of celebrating it, only focusing on her work at the company. But he wouldn't let that happen.He started driving, keeping an eye on the road. As he got closer to the fancy restaurant he had spotted before, a smile formed on his face.He parked his car along the road and stepped out.He walked into the restaur
Henry couldn't believe that the manager, Johnson, was calling him dirty. He scoffed in disbelief as Seth cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure."You see, you have no place here. The more I look at you, the more I want to give you a slap. You know why? Because of how you've been answering me. Do you realize that I can still give you a second chance to work in my business? And instead of begging me, you respond to me like a man who thinks he's above me. You're such a failure!" Seth said because he couldn't hold it anymore. The new attitude Henry displayed was deeply concerning to him, and he felt it was because Henry was no longer working for him. He was one of the former bosses of Henry, who he worked with during his part-time job era.He turned to the manager. "Sir, please calm down. He used to work for me, and I think he has lost his senses walking in here. Maybe he just wants to see the view of this restaurant," Seth interjected, trying to calm him down and reduce the s
Johnson creased his forehead as lines appeared, furrowing his brow as he tried to understand the question.Meanwhile, Henry, also bewildered by the unexpected question that slipped from his lips, anxiously waited for a response. A nervous smile crept onto Johnson's face. "Of course I know him," he said, his voice quivering slightly. "Long time back, he used to come here with your dad frequently, and they were really close."His eyes darted around the room as he spoke, "Hm, I remember those times," he continued, his voice filled with nostalgia. "The White Group was still so young and just blooming.""It's so sad that death took them away," he said softly, his voice trailing off for a moment. "Sir Henry, I do wish that as the only man of the house, you will be strong enough to be able to take care of your family."Henry nodded silently as he listened to everything he said. ‘Nice speech there, but that's not what I meant!’ Henry felt like screaming aloud.But then, this meant they were
Immediately after he said it, he casually walked to his seat, opened his computer and booted it on. The room fell into a shocked silence as the colleagues processed his words, their faces frozen in disbelief.Meanwhile, Caroline's face flushed red with anger, her cheeks burning in humiliation. Her eyes flew wide open at his fierce retort.Did he just call her a stalker?The accusation hit her like a slap in the face. She was dumbfounded to the extent she couldn't say anything for a long while.Everyone in the office gasped in shock at his words. Even they had never had the audacity to speak to her this way, yet he did it, and so casually? Whispers of disbelief filled the air as they exchanged incredulous glances. Who was this man? What gave him the guts to say such things?"Wooow," a lady by her side drawled, her voice loaded with sarcasm. "Look at who's speaking! If I may ask, did you check yourself in the mirror today? You look like you've never taken good care of yourself, and yet
"Are you trying to make me upset for no reason, Miss Nyx? If that's the case, I don't have the time and energy for it." Henry was straightforward in his words. He truly had no time for bad energy. He noticed she was trying all she could to upset him and he wouldn't let her win.But they still took his straightforwardness as rudeness. "You know what, Caroline? Let's just wait until noon. I guarantee this guy won't be able to finish the work by then. I'm willing to bet on it," Darryl declared."Yes, I couldn't agree more. With his nonchalant attitude, he must be completely incompetent. Let's not forget he was hired without even an interview," Yara chimed in.Caroline, hearing their conversation, thought about it and agreed that there was no way he could complete such a workload before lunch break. I mean, it was almost laughable to consider. Even the CEO would not finish it in three hours, let alone this inexperienced brat.So, she turned towards him again. "Henry, as I've said before,
As Henry reached the top floor, his gaze swept across Clifford's office, and his eyes locked onto a young man who appeared to be around his age or slightly older. It was Austin Kai, Clifford's personal assistant and a former soldier of the White family.Austin Kai recognized Henry as the son of his late boss, and was pre-informed of his coming. He quickly strode over to welcome him, his steps brisk and polite."Assistant Kai," Henry acknowledged, his voice filled with familiarity."It's a pleasure to see you again, Master White," Assistant Kai lay flat on the floor, prostrating in a deep show of respect.This was a customary greeting they had in the White army to show respect to the family members, and now, Henry was the new head of the household.Even though he was no longer part of the army, he still had to show respect!The corners of Henry's lips curled into a gentle smile. He asked him to stand up. "Please get on your feet. There's no need for this," Immediately, Assistant Kai ac
When Yara returned to the strategy department, she found Caroline alone in the office. Everyone else had left to eat, but since Caroline had more work to do than others, she decided to buy food and eat it in the office while continuing her tasks. Yara, on her own, liked to be a busybody. So, instead of going to eat, she quickly walked back to the office to report her findings to Caroline."Madam Caroline," she called out. That was the title she, and some other juniors, usually called her in the department as a sign of respect. Only seniors like Darryl, Rodney and others referred to her as Caroline.Caroline looked up from her lunch. "What is it?" she asked, curious about Yara's interruption."I just found out that Henry, the new intern, has a connection with Assistant Kai. I think that's the reason he got hired without an interview," Yara revealed, a sly tone in her voice.Caroline frowned, knowing that Yara was referring to the vice president's assistant. She felt that this was quit
Alice heard her name being called from her department and quickly stood up, rushing towards the vice president's office. "Sir…" she said, assuming it was Clifford who called her.However, upon entering the office, she realized it was Assistant Kai and Henry standing there. Irritated, she hissed, "You really gave me a heart attack, making me think it was someone important calling me. What is it?" She crossed her arms, eyeing them with a hint of annoyance."Explain yourself, Alice," Assistant Kai demanded sternly. "Why did you ignore my instructions? I could remember I clearly asked you to give him the best service."Alice glared at Henry and Assistant Kai with disdain. She scoffed and rolled her eyes, laughing scornfully. "Instructions? Why should I follow the instructions of a lowly assistant? Can't you see I'm busy? I have more important things to do than fetching drinks."Assistant Kai exclaimed dramatically, "Oh, and I suppose those important things include applying makeup during w
