"We'll see!" Howie said while he snapped a photo of Henry with his phone.He then turned to Chelsea and said, "Chelsea, what I told you before still stands. If you don't comply by today, don't blame me for being rude."Then, Howie stormed off. It was easy for Howie to find out who Henry was with his surname and photo.He wanted Henry to pay a hefty price for confronting him.As Howie left, Chelsea grew anxious and said, "Why did you confront him? You won't be able to survive here if you offended him.""Are you worried that I'll drag you into this?" Henry asked."Of course not!" Chelsea denied it immediately."This has nothing to do with me. Furthermore, Mr. Bass wouldn't let me off, even if you're not here."Maybe I can't stay in this company anymore.""Why? Did that old pervert want to take advantage of you?" Henry guessed, judging by Howie's looks and his parting words.Chelsea thought the description was spot-on. She said, "You're right. Mr. Bass is a shameless old pervert
"Can you tell me more about the rumors in the company?" Henry asked curiously."Why?" Chelsea replied."Just curious!""Maybe later, since I'm leaving the company soon anyway. It's getting late now, so we should hurry up.""Alright!"They needed an access card to get into the building, but Henry did not have one and felt awkward.Chelsea looked at him suspiciously, wondering why he did not have an access card if he was really an employee."I forgot it today," he said, sounding casual."Alright, come with me."Chelsea spoke to the security guard, explaining that he was a client, and they were let in together.The building was quite new, with clean elevators. They quickly reached the 15th floor, where Neptune Group occupied the 15th and 16th floors.Henry continued to follow Chelsea to enter the office as he did not have a keycard.Chelsea did not think much of it. She somehow felt Henry was not a bad person due to his handsome appearance and generosity.As they went further
Unexpectedly, Henry continued to guide them calmly, leaving the girls feeling enlightened and gaining significant insights.They were getting more excited and realized Henry was a design genius.Chelsea was stunned by Henry's impressive design skills and quickly won everyone over."Which university did you graduate from? Where do you work? You're amazing!" one girl asked."Do you have a girlfriend? If not, what do you think of me? Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.""Me too! I'll handle all the chores and take care of the household. I can even quit my job to support you.""I can give you four kids! Five! Six!"The comments were getting more and more outrageous, making Chelsea blush.The commotion attracted Nickie, who came out and coldly asked, "What are you all doing? Don't you have work to do?"Everyone quickly scattered back to their desks, leaving Henry behind.Meanwhile, Chelsea's palms were sweating. Even though Nickie usually treated her well, she was known to
Henry laughed when he heard that and said calmly, "You're not qualified to say that. Actually, you should be welcoming me.""Who do you think you are? My patience is limited. Don't blame me for calling the police if you don't leave now." Nickie was furious.She had harbored resentment toward Henry since they first met. She took the chance to let it all out.She would not have been so restrained if her subordinates had not sided with Henry that much.Chelsea quickly said, "You shouldn't have come in without permission, Mr. Truman. Please leave now.""No, I can't leave," Henry said. He was there to assume his role as the new CEO and could not just leave.Then, Howie showed up and said, "I've been looking for you everywhere, and you're causing trouble here."Security! Take him to the police station," Howie shouted into his phone angrily.Chelsea's face paled when she heard Howie's instruction. She said, "What are you doing, Mr. Truman? Leave now!"Nickie frowned as Chelsea sudden
Howie was furious. He did not want to fire Zoey, but he had to vent his anger, so he yelled at Henry, "Security! Where the hell are the security guards?""Here, here!" After a moment, the security guards came running.Howie shouted angrily toward the security guards, "Beat him up! If you break his legs, it's on me. Then take him to the police station and say he stole our confidential designs."As soon as the security guards heard that, they immediately attacked.Chelsea was terrified. Her face turned pale with worry, but she could do nothing.Nickie looked coldly at Henry, thinking he deserved it for not listening to her.Perhaps because of all the commotion, even Leonard's secretary, Hazel Jennings, hurried over.After all, that day was the day the new CEO took office, and the company could not afford any major problems."Stop!" Hazel rushed over and quickly said, "What's going on, Mr. Bass? The new CEO is arriving today. We can't afford any mess."Howie's expression changed
Chelsea's face paled. She was so scared that she just closed her eyes.Fortunately, Henry was there. With a cold snort, he stepped forward and casually broke the hands of several security guards.They screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground, looking agonized. Even though their legs were not broken, they were unable to crawl.Everyone was stunned. They did not expect Henry, who appeared delicate, to be so skilled.Chelsea opened her eyes in surprise. She was confused about what had happened.Howie's expression changed. He said angrily, "No wonder you're so cocky. So you know martial arts, huh? But do you think you can do whatever you want here? I'm calling the police now."Meanwhile, Hazel said, "Mr. Bass, the new CEO is arriving soon—""So what?" Howie ignored Hazel's reminder and made the call.Hazel was helpless. After all, Howie had a close relationship with Leonard. Otherwise, he would not be in charge of such an important department.She could not afford to offend hi
Everyone was shocked by Hazel's words; no one could ever believe what they just witnessed. No one could imagine that the young man, who looked very delicate, was the company's new CEO.Howie's heart sank as he saw Hazel's expression. His legs went weak, and he almost knelt.He was over!"Mr. Truman, I—" Howie stuttered."Do you still want me to leave?" Henry said coldly."No, no, Mr. Truman! It was a misunderstanding. I didn't know you were the CEO. Please spare me a chance," Howie pleaded."Do you mean you can act recklessly if you didn't know I was the CEO?" Henry retorted."No, I—""Enough, I don't have time for your nonsense. Do you want to leave on your own, or do you want me to kick you out?" Henry could not be bothered to deal with him.Howie's face changed drastically, a flash of cruelty in his eyes. He shouted, "It was indeed my fault just now, Mr. Truman. But I've made significant contributions to the company. Isn't that too heartless to kick me out because I offende
"Understood!" Hazel responded promptly with respect; she also needed to report the situation to Leonard."Go now. Remember, everyone in the company must be present in ten minutes or miss it at their own risk," Henry said coldly."Understood!" Hazel and Howie responded.Once they left, Nickie finally snapped back to her senses. She looked at Henry with shock and embarrassment. She had always looked down on him and never believed his words. It turned out he was the new CEO.She felt awkward and said cautiously, "Mr. Truman, what I said earlier was—""Forget about it. Just do your job well in the future," Henry said.Even though Nickie had been rude and disrespectful to him multiple times, she was competent. Henry decided to tolerate her attitude for the time being, but she was off the table for any promotions; he planned to replace Howie with Zoey."Yes, sir," Nickie responded meekly, losing her previous arrogance. She glanced at Chelsea and smiled bitterly.'Chelsea had a good e
