Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 48: Exploring new markets: Deep Island
After she left, Clifford's anger slowly faded away, the visible frown on his face disappearing, his temper coming back to its normal state. Assistant Kai was also satisfied by the outcome of everything. He couldn't bear his master getting insulted without the latter getting punished. "Young Master, I am honestly sorry for what you had to go through in my absence. I promise this will not repeat itself again," Clifford said, lowering his head in a bow before Henry.Assistant Kai followed suit, also bowing his head. He raised his gaze and spoke with sincerity . "I apologize also, master," he said."It's okay," Henry replied, his voice dripping with amusement. In fact, he couldn't help but be entertained by her foolishness and exaggerated acting. He chuckled softly. She would do well in the movie industry, seriously."So, let's get to what I'm here for," Henry reminded him, tapping his watch as he glanced at the time. Lunch break is almost over." "Sure," Clifford said, offering him a sea

"Yes, young master," Clifford said, his voice filled with renewed enthusiasm. "I believe so. I look forward to the start of this project. Please be quick to submit your report.""Sure," Henry replied, his hand confidently signing on the paper, sealing the deal.Suddenly, Clifford felt unsettled, causing him to shift uncomfortably in his seat. "Young Master, could you excuse me for a moment?" He asked, his words rushed. "I need to go to the restroom, I'll be back in a jiffy.""No problem," Henry replied, his brows furrowing slightly as he observed Clifford's change in expression. It seemed something was wrong with him. He'd ask him about it later.Without wasting another moment, Clifford stood up from his chair, and made his way to the restroom, his footsteps echoing through the room.At that time, Caroline gracefully walked into the office, clutching the work she was doing during her lunch break. She had been given the deadline that stated that before the lunch break came to an end, i

Hence, the minute Clifford came back from the restroom, she ran up to him, her heels clicking against the tile flooring. "What are you doing here, Miss Nyx?" Clifford asked as soon as he saw her, curious. He tilted his head slightly, trying to understand her sudden presence."Uhm, sir, I came to submit my assigned task. It's over there," she replied, her voice slightly breathless. She pointed towards the spot where her task was kept. Clifford nodded.She checked his face for any emotion before continuing. "Ahem," she cleared her throat. "In the process of doing that, I was surprised to see that test you had given our newest intern, Henry Flakes. I must say…that's a stretch," she said.She hoped her words would catch Clifford's attention, and she could make her case.Clifford raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "What do you mean by that?" he asked.Her hopes skyrocketed, seeing that Clifford was giving her attention. She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. "Sir, the thing

Caroline was thrown off by his words, and her eyes widened in surprise. "Huh?" she muttered, her eyes blinking rapidly as she tried to process what Clifford was saying.Clifford had to let out a long, deep sigh. "I said, if I review his work and find no errors, what should I do, Miss Nyx?" He emphasized each word, making sure his question was clear.Her eyes lit up with a bright light of hope. 'Finally,' she exclaimed in her mind. She straightened her posture, her chest puffing out confidently. "Well, obviously, you'd have to let me take over the project. I mean, if he can't complete such a small task within three hours without errors, how can he be trusted to evaluate markets? How incredulous!""Sir, we need trusted hands to work on this project. We're talking about venturing into a country like Deep Island. It would be absurd to entrust Henry with such responsibility. So, all I request is for me to take over the project, while Henry just focuses on doing start-up projects that would

She exhaled loudly as they, together with Clifford, stepped into the Strategy department. The lunch break was already over, so all the workers were back in the office. The atmosphere in the room was heavily charged with discussion, everyone's mouths moving and talking about one thing or the order.With his poised stride and dignified presence, Clifford commanded authority without uttering a word. Caroline faithfully followed at her heels as they made their way further into the department. A wave of silence crashed over the room the moment they heard footsteps echoing into their department. Heads swiveled toward the entrance as the discussions came to an abrupt end.They began to act serious, all eyes staring blankly at the computers, like they weren't just making noise a while ago. When Clifford entered a department, all knew to appear diligently focused on their tasks.Their gazes casted at the door, curious to see who was walking in."What's wrong?" Yara murmured, brows knitting w

So, Vice President Clifford, you can review it to know if there are errors or not in it. Please let me know your thoughts on it," he finally uttered, realizing it was the longest sentence he had spoken since the discussion began. Caroline shot Henry a fierce, triumphant look. She then stood up from her seat, making way for Clifford to take a seat and review Henry's work.She couldn't wait to start laughing at him and say, "I told you so!" Haha! She couldn't help but imagine how satisfying it would be to see Henry fail. She could barely hold her laughter.She remembered that he bet on his job saying that if there were errors, he would willingly resign. Caroline was sure that he would make at least one error and ruin his chances.Every other person in the department immediately understood what was going on. It was about the project that Henry worked on and submitted in a rush. But how did it manage to reach the Vice President's ears? This intern was nothing but trouble, clearly. In ju
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 54: Growing envy
The others around the office watched in stunned silence as they saw the look on Clifford's face too. What could this mean? They glanced at each other in confusion, brows furrowed in shock.Was that a look of admiration on his face? Was Clifford actually...impressed? By Henry's work? Anger and envy swirled within them. This made no sense at all!And what was this feeling? Could they have underestimated Henry? No, that couldn't be, she insisted inwardly. Ever since they started working in the company, they had never gotten that kind of reaction from Clifford, no matter how perfect they had made their work look. There was even a time they worked extra hours into the night for a particular project, did several researches, and even many more, just to ensure the success of the project.However, all they received from Clifford was a thumbs up emoji (👍) which was even sent through the company's mail. However, Henry did not only get a reaction, but even a reaction of admiration???What the
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 55: Whoever loses, resigns
Caroline hesitated and struggled to find the right words. She let out a nervous laugh, which sounded strange even to herself."Um, well, it's just...," she trailed off, her mind racing. "Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm exceptionally happy that my subordinate..." She paused, feeling bitter as she said the word. Subordinate? As if."Um, ha! Actually nailed it! But, you know, I just didn't expect it to be this impressive. Great job, Henry!" She forced a cheerful tone.However, in her heart, she felt like crying her eyes out because of how the whole saga turned out to be a big blow on her face. How did he even do it without errors? It was so not logical. Even the most perfect of people would make at least an error!Fuck!This loss infuriated her to no end. But she refused to be defeated here. This loss wouldn't stop her from actualizing her dreams. If Henry wanted to play dirty, then two could play at that game. Her dreams of leading the Deep Island project were not over yet. The goal was

Henry also once felt that Caeser was the boss but then again, Simon mentioned the fact that his boss was after Caesar and he also met him when he then confirmed that he was sent a life threatening letter for stopping the weapons from entering inside Green Hill city. He scoffed. "I'm definitely sure that he isn't, Caeser is just Stella's friend who wants nothing than the power of White Group to win the next election coming up" The guard nods his head as Henry picked up his phone and dialed Irene's number and That time she picked the call. "Hey Henry, lots of things happened but I'm fine" Henry was confused as concern filled up on his face, he was already reaching his room as he opened the door awaiting her response. "The manager, I think your friend was questioning me about you, not that I'm annoyed though but I think he sounded a little mean" "Just tell what did he say to you" "He asked whether I like you or something then he was like you are meant for someone, then some

"Look, even at that you don't have to fight for it, I'm a man and I know that for sure that Henry will fight for Irene if I'm not lying she is in love with him right?" Quo asked as she doesn't even respond to him she felt it was a waste of time talking to him, she just want someone to understand her and support her with everything. "I know the answer to that already but why don't you just go rest?" She immediately grabbed him by the collar as she was just an inch closer to him feeling his breathe. "Just because we fucked doesn't mean you have the right to question me, it was a huge mistake from my side and also I think I would block your fucking number..." Before she could finish what she was saying he kissed her lips. "It was fun right?" He asked as she immediately removed her hands from his collar the cringed really hard that she felt like taking a knife and slit her throat. Immediately she left Henry's house that day, she got a call from Quo to come meet her if she h

193. The guesthouse
"I know"Henry muttered but Victor and Samson just realized it.How are they going to share the room, because there was no way one of the them would sleep on the couch, but Henry already solved this issue so he wasn't worried about it."Just continue showing us around please" The man nods his head, what was on his mind was that he would sent some boys to bring in atleast a two bed bunk so that the last two persons can sleep on them,but since Henry didn't bother he refused to bring that up again, he was just focusing on showing them each of the rooms.Henry smiled because the room was big enough and has a comfy bed, it's soft and was really a cool one, all the rooms were cleaned very well, and arranged properly, even the toilet Henry expected that it won't be that convincing but still it was okay, nothing like it was manageable, he was grateful for that, he knows that if he would tell Clifford or snap it and how it to him he would immediately change the guesthouse or atleast they will

192. Cooperative work
Samson's eyes widened in surprise, he wasn't told that it was this long, the only thing Henry told him was that, they were going to find Simon who was also the cause of his brother's death and he was determined to find him at all cost, his brother has done a lot for him so atleast what he could for him is to find his killer and maybe put him in cell or kill him. Henry scoffed as he saw in the rearview mirror how his big his eyes came out then went back to normal, his plan was that after some hours of drive almost reaching mid night then they would stay either at a hotel or guesthouse then after that the next morning would be another ride.He doesn't want to spend all the hours at the road driving while they will be all hungry and sleepy, and that's what Samson thought too as he reasoned with Henry in his mind."Well that true, I can't leave my tummy empty without having something to eat, I might end up dying if I'm trying to fight"Samson grumbled as Victor scoffed. "You can throw a

"who?" She asked as she then thought that it was Henry since he was the only person he knew that would come looking for her at the office and maybe to tell her for the fact that he wasn't going to be around."The manager Clifford" Her eyes widened as she shifted herself from the bed and sat down at the edge of the bed. "But why? Did I do something wrong?""Not really but though he was like you should come to my office immediately, he sounded so serious though"Her heart sank as she began to think where she made a mistake, but she could grasp anything bad she had ever done, she has always been a good lady with her staffs and also the director of the sales department."Look you shouldn't worry about anything okay?""Are you sure?" Irene asked because she was doubting it."Of course, if anything bad happens all of us wouldn't agree to it, you have been a good lady to all of us so I think you shouldn't worry at all, or was they something you did that I'm not aware of? "She hissed bec

190. Who's that?
He felt his heart sank as he wondered what she was doing at her place, it has been a long time now since he ever set his eyes on her, he felt so angry at this point, he prayed nothing bad happened to Irene. When they reached her house, he came down even before the driver tries coming down to open the door for him."I will be right back" Henry muttered casually so they won't see that he was so tensed up.As he walked into her small apartment, he knocked first but there was no response, he was about to say it's him but he doesn't know where she was at that moment.He took a deep breathe as he knocked again and this time he heard a sound of a key shaking close to the door as it got opened. Irene gazed up at him with her jaw clenched and her eyebrows lowered and was almost to mutter a word but then it was Henry as she chooses to calm down, her eye lit up then she slowly smiled. "Come in" Henry hesitated for a moment before he came inside, he looked thoroughly to make sure that the mat

Immediately Henry spotted him sitting down on the staircase, he walked really fast to his side, victor saw him coming as he stood with his laptop and a school bag he carried in his hand."So you are all ready right?" Henry asked as he nods his head. He was putting on a baggy jeans and a hoodie, it was winter already so that why he was dressing like that.After he opened the door and entered inside, he walked really fast upstairs like taking two stairs so he would be fast. He reached his room as he began to arrange some of his things inside his back to embark on this journey, he really hoped that it would be a success and won't end up taking lives.After he was done arranging his things, he came out of his room then as he sighed Priscilla's room he decided to check whether she was inside so that he would be able to tell her a good bye, she has his spare keys so they won't be any problem.As he peeped through the window, no one was inside, it was literally empty, he sighed as he knew

Henry's phone begins to ring as he took it out from his pocket when he saw the name of the screen he picked it up immediately."Hello Henry, it's seems you are not at home, I'm at your doorstep now"He said with his innocent voice."Don't worry I will be back home, just give me sometime" Henry assured victor as he cut the call.He was stunned that he was already done with what he had and came early to his apartment, he was expecting them to be going at midnight, he was going with bodyguards so there was no need of worrying about security, he is also security conscious. A call came through his phone as he planned on dropping it inside his pocket then he saw the caller ID which was Ms. Stella and then picked it up."Ok already coming to pick you up, I hope you are okay because you weren't picking up your calls, Caeser said the meeting was over" Henry placed his left hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, he was actually dealing with them Ryan and Clara and that's why he didn't eve

"I think you should mind the way you talk to my wife Henry or else.."Henry blurted. "Or else what? And what did I say to her that's bad now? I don't really like the fact that you make me seem like the bad guy here""And of course you are, you have changed and she is trying to tell you how bad that is...""Is she my mum?"This made Ryan speechless, he just stared at Henry, clenching his fists and controlling himself not to give him a mark on his face. "And also isn't it you guys who stopped at my business? Why can't you just leave? Not that I'm holding you, the fuck is wrong with all of you, and what would you gain from insulting me, huh?"Clara scoffed. "Because you deserved it Henry" "Does that make any sense to you? Clara I was fucking good to you right? And I make sure you enjoyed my company, I stayed by your side and make sure that I would bear anything that you do to me, remember raining insults on me during your birthday night and I literally had to apologize, huh?"
