Archer alone was already enough to stir up panic amongst the staff members of Wolfenden Corp. Now that Faris, Archer’s superior, was here, perhaps it would be better off for Wolfenden Corp. to venture into other businesses from now on. Sadie’s face was ghastly pale. Faris was Archer’s immediate superior!Archer had actually invited a bigshot like Faris to the company. Was he trying to get her killed?The expressions of the leaders from the other departments changed drastically as well. Some expressed their panic, fear, and displeasure. The chief of the human resources department, River, could not refrain from looking toward Miles and wondered whether this was Miles’ doing.River wondered how Archer could be so influential that he could even alert Faris. Also, he wondered what Sadie had done last night to infuriate Archer to this extent.Meanwhile, River thought to himself, ‘Don’t ever offend Miles.‘Perhaps Sadie will need to retire from her position after today. Don’t ever th
Kayson saw Faris after getting out of the elevator. After seeing Faris' emotional gaze, he knew everything would be fine today. However, he furrowed his eyebrows instantly at the sight of Faris approaching him in a rush as he was about to call out to him. Thus, he signaled with his eyes. Faris was very good at observing people, so he understood the situation instantly upon seeing Kayson’s insinuation. “May I inquire where Ms. Wolfenden is?”He retracted his gaze that was fixed on Kayson in time and turned to look at Sean.“Ms. Wolfenden… is right behind us. She’ll be here soon.” Sean looked at Faris suspiciously. He remembered hearing Faris call out ‘Mr. Yar’ earlier, yet he changed his remark to ‘May’ in an instant.Sean did not have the time to ponder further, so he said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Cook, Ms. Wolfenden is still young, and she may be relatively impulsive in her behavior—”“Hehehe, Mr. Batley, that’s quite inappropriate for you to say that. Is being young an ex
Sadie and Faris chatted in delight inside the reception room next to the general manager’s office.Faris thought it would be inappropriate to stay long, so he got up in preparation after half an hour.After sending Faris to the door, Sadie made a call to report the good news. “Dad, the company is fine now! Mr. Cook and I chatted for a bit, and he just left.”“I’ve already found out about the situation. However, did Mr. Cook tell you why he’s helping you, Sadie?”Sadie paused for a moment before saying, “I asked him about that. He claimed that he just could not stand Archer’s despicable, shameless behavior anymore.”Liam said in suspicion, “Is that all?”“That’s what he said,” answered Sadie in puzzlement. “Alright then. Quite a few quality control chiefs called me up earlier to apologize. They claimed that they had too many drinks last night and had already passed most of our major projects.”“That’s awesome!” Sadie’s gaze turned cold. “However, Miles… He has been watching me
The next morning, Kayson joined Easton to depart for Capital Building Material Corp. with the contract.On the other hand, Sadie took out her phone to make a call while she was at the company. “Hello, Mr. Young. I’m Sadie Wolfenden from Wolfenden Corp.”“Ah! It’s you, Ms. Wolfenden!” Kenneth chuckled on the other end of the call and said, “You’re calling me so early in the morning, to what do I owe the pleasure?”The matter would determine the survival of The Tetrad, but she did not have the courage to make it sound like a big deal. She said in a very gentle tone, “This is the situation, Mr. Young. There’s a project which we’ve collaborated on previously that has already come to a full completion.“We are sending over two staff members with the contract from our side—”Upon hearing that, Kenneth immediately interrupted by saying, “Ms. Wolfenden. I’m afraid that this is a slightly difficult situation for me because I’m running short of money recently.“Hence, I will need an exte
At Capital Building Material Corp…Kayson and Easton were waiting at the entrance when two muscular men who looked rather rugged came out.One of them pointed at Kayson brazenly and barked, “Mr. Young asks for the two of you to leave!”Easton was a little scared, but he braved it out and said, “We are from Wolfenden Corp. and are here to meet Mr. Young for business.”“Mr. Young isn’t free. Piss off right now, or don’t blame us for getting rough!”Easton looked a little troubled as he asked in a whisper, “Mr. Kace, what do we do next?”Kayson turned to him. “We’ll go back since Mr. Young isn’t in?”Easton was rendered speechless.“Bro, that’s obviously an excuse! They’re trying to shrug the payment off! They’ll say he’s busy no matter which day we come!”“Oh.” Kayson nodded and said, “Then hide in the car. I can go up on my own.”“Uh…” Easton was taken aback before he replied through gritted teeth. “I think I’d better go up there with you.”Kayson chuckled and went back to th
Kayson swung a fist on Kenneth’s left shoulder, and the latter’s left arm fell limp. Fat droplets of sweat dotted Kenneth’s forehead.“You… I won’t let you go… And Wolfenden Corp. too…”Kayson grabbed Kenneth’s head and slammed it against the desk, causing the latter to bleed through his nose.“I’ll sign it!” Kenneth was heaving. He was furious! He would sign this contract but make sure Wolfenden Corp. would pay for this!Kayson let him go. “You could have done this earlier, and it’d be good for both of us, right, Mr. Young?”Kenneth fumbled for some tissue to wipe his nose and glared at Kayson begrudgingly. He picked up the pen to sign his name before barking, “Piss off!”Kayson nonchalantly collected the contract and left. When Easton saw that Kayson had managed to get the contract signed, he was delighted.“I knew it. There wouldn’t be any issue when you’re the one handling it!”Easton took the contract and flipped through it carefully and joyfully.“Mr. Kace, wait for me h
“D-Don’t you joke about this!”Kenneth paled in fear. He used to fight Horacio back in the day, but he had lost—very badly! The Quad Falcons had been the ones who kicked his *ss back then, so he was well aware of their capabilities!When he learned about Horacio and The Quad Falcons' demise, he was shocked but also delighted.Now, though, Gabriel was telling him that the young man who had beaten him up minutes earlier was the one who had killed Horacio.Gabriel continued to speak with a shuddering voice. “What’s worse is that Mr. Yarde knows bigshots in Assos. No one will be able to save you if you offend him!”Kenneth paled with terror brimming his eyes.“Why the f*ck didn’t you tell me earlier!?”Kenneth fumbled for his phone and called back everyone he had called.“Mr. Young, you’re…”Kenneth trembled with sweat slowly soaking him.“I made calls just now to ask all the bosses in the construction material field to stop working with Wolfenden Corp…”Gabriel felt like a thun
A Honda Accord stopped right in front of Wolfenden Corp.’s entrance. As soon as the driver got out of the car, he sprinted for the lobby without a care for his car. Not even the security guards could stop him.The driver looked panicked as he jabbed his finger on the elevator button—and he was none other than the boss of Capital Building Material Corp., Kenneth.Taking Gabriel’s suggestion, he had come straight to Wolfenden Corp. to apologize in person! He was not wasting even one second with it, and this was the first time in his life that he felt how tortuously slow the elevator was.In the meeting room…Miles snorted. “Mr. Oxley, do you think we should be praising you for being efficient?”Easton’s heart dropped. Miles’ tone did not sound kind!Ben stood up with a glower.“G-Grandpa—”Ben raised a hand to slap Easton, stunning the latter. The young man was frightened and asked shakily, “G-Grandpa, have I done something wrong?”“Idiot! You’ve caused so much damage to the com
