Twenty minutes later, Kent and his assistant arrived at the office.The assistant expertly parked the car in the company parking lot, before retrieving the laptop from the back seat and got out of the car. He walked around to the passenger side and was about to open the door for Kent, but Kent opened it himself and emerged from the car while adjusting his suit, his eyes scanning the surrounding area, before he walked to the main door of the company.As they entered the lobby, the employees' chatter and laughter quickly ceased, replaced by an uncomfortable and eerie silence.They had been free during Kent's absence, and the sudden appearance of their boss, looking stern and imposing, really caught them off guard. Some were standing, chatting in small groups, while others were lounging at their workstations, clearly not working.A woman who saw him whispered in fear "Oh no!" as she hastily returned to her workstation, but it was too late.Kent's gaze swept across the room, his eyes l
After finishing her meal, the butler came in with the lunchbox.August nodded at him and headed to the kitchen to wash her hands.As she entered, the maid doing the dishes greeted her with a cheerful smile "Good morning, ma'am!" August smiled warmly and nodded in response before leaving the kitchen.Just then, another maid entered the kitchen and noticed her colleague staring blankly into space, with a dreamy expression on her face. She waved and clapped her hands, which brought her back to reality. "What are you doing?" The maid sighed dreamily and said with a twinkling eyes , "I just met an angel. Madam August is so beautiful, I feel like I have seen a celestial being”.The other maid raised an eyebrow and asked, was she here?The maid gushed and nodded , "She’s so pretty! I'm already her number one fan!" She giggled, still enchanted by August's presence. "I wish I could be as elegant and demure as her," she added, her voice filled with admiration.The other maid lamented, "Oh my
Mandy, who was humiliated and enraged, struggled to her feet. "Watch how I make your life miserable!" she spat, before storming to her desk and snatching the phone from her colleagues. An employee who was staring at her mocked her and said, "Why not use your private phone to call your Fiancé rather than that?" She said, making her blush with embarrassment.Mandy stared at the lady and hissed before saying coldly, "It's none of your business!" After that, she quickly dialed the CEO's office. The room fell silent as Kent's cold voice answered. Mandy gritted her teeth and shivered because she was actually scared, but she took courage and said "Sir, there's a mad woman causing trouble. She requested to meet you, but I told her you were busy. Now she's causing a scene."The line was silent for a while, when he finally spoke. His response was brief, "I will be there." He said and hung up before Mandy could say a word, making her grit her teeth in shame.She quickly adjusted her mood and
Mandy, realizing the situation was not in her favor, quickly fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face."Baby, I never knew you had a fiancée," August said, her voice laced with accusation as she pouted her lips.Kent's face turned red with anger. He was speechless,and was unable to form any words, so he glared and threw a dagger at Mandy with his eyes, before turning to August to pacify her."Baby, you know that can never be true. I only have you in my life," Kent said loudly, not caring about the stunned expressions of his employees.The workers were shocked to see their cold and distant boss acting so gently and romantically."Boss is so gentle and romantic," a lady whispered to her friend, who giggled and replied, "Unfortunately, he's only like this to his wife," their voices barely audible.Kevin and Jenny were amused by the exchange, they exchanged a knowing glance, while August tried to stifle her giggles. Seeing that she was still standing, Kent ordered a bodyguard to
Kent guided his wife, August, into the elevator, beaming with excitement. He couldn't believe she would surprise him with a visit. "I'm so glad you're here," he murmured to himself as he stared at her, his eyes shining with affection.August didn’t hear what he said, but she noticed Kent's quiet demeanor, so she asked, "Are you mad at me?" Her voice was laced with playful concern.Kent chuckled, his deep voice low and soothing. "Are you mad?" he said as he teased her, with his gaze locked onto hers. August pouted, her lips curling into an adorable scowl. "I guess you must be really mad," she murmured, barely audible. But Kent's ears still perked up, so he looked at her lovely expression and smiled."You know I heard that," he whispered, his amusement evident. He leaned in, his breath caressing her ear. "You can't fool me, baby."August's expression remained unchanged, prompting Kent to gently turn her to face him. His fingers grazed her cheek as he tucked a stray lock behind her ear
"I'm so pissed!" Jenny fumed as soon as they left the company. Her heels clicked angrily on the pavement as she continue to rant, "Gosh, I feel like scratching that bitch's face for insulting my baby." Her voice dripped with venom, with her eyes full of hatred. How can a mere receptionist belittle her sweetheart.Thinking about it, she took her phone and was about to call Lisa when she heard a chuckling sound. She looked at the source of the sound and frowned deeply when she saw that he was the one laughing.Meanwhile, unaware of Jenny’s glare, he continued chuckling, thinking she was joking.Kevin suddenly stopped when he heard no voices. He stared at her and gulped down his saliva when he met her scorching glare which made him retreat. "Are you laughing at me?" she asked, anger lacing her voice, her brow furrowed as she stared at him.Kevin's smile immediately vanished and quickly said. "No, baby, I wasn’t laughing at you" He said as he held up his hands in defense.Seeing that s
An hour later, Kent was finally done with the meeting, he looked at the executives and adjourned the meeting, before he hastily exited the conference room, because his mind was already on August.His assistant, Mark, couldn't help but giggle at Kent's uncharacteristic behavior. The boss he knew was cold and ruthless, but now he seemed soft and like a complete lover boy."The boss has definitely changed," Mark thought, shaking his head in amusement.He was still in his thoughts, when the executive, James, broke the silence. "Don't you think boss looks different today?" He said as he asked.After saying that, he noticed that all eyes turned to him, which made him chuckle nervously. "I mean, he's different in a good way." He said again.A colleague, Emily, raised an eyebrow and asked. "Are you sure you are with us, James?"James did not understand what she meant, so he laughed and said, "What I mean is, he seems more relaxed and happy, only that he is in a hurry."Another colleague, Dav
In another country, Victor stood before the massive glass window, gazing out at the bustling road below. His assistant who was there with him nodded in respect, and waited for his boss' instructions."Any news?" Victor asked, his deep voice commanding attention."Not yet, sir. The Ken’s have tightened up their security," James replied, his eyes cast downward.Victor chuckled low and cold, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Prepare our exit. We are heading to Canada."His eyes widened with fear, knowing fully well that Victor was banned from entering Canada due to past controversies."But, sir..." the assistant tried to talk, but he was stopped by Victor, who waved his hand dismissively and said "Don't fret; I have my ways."Seeing that his boss was calm, he sighed and turned to leave when a subordinate called."What?!" He gasped, his voice laced with alarm. "Leave no trail." He ordered as he hunted up the call immediately.As soon as the call was disconnected,his expression was urgent
