Frederick was also dumbfounded by the turn of events. Fiona had fallen into his embrace as a defense mechanism. But she was currently pretending to be a ghost, so was she still falling into his embrace?He could feel her body on his as the smell of her body began wafting in the air around him. He immediately felt his body begin to heat up.On the other hand, Fiona's face immediately turned red as she could feel the change in Frederick's body.But Frederick continued to play along with Fiona's little scheme. In hopes of clearing the awkward atmosphere, he said, "Oh no! Why are you on top of me? Do you want to eat me?"Fiona's eyes immediately brightened. She forgot all about getting up from Frederick's body and continued to pretend to be a ghost. "I want to eat you!" Fiona exclaimed.With that said, she opened her mouth, exposing her white teeth. She continued to lay on top of Frederick and kept talking about how she wanted to eat him.But at the same time, Fiona didn't know what
Then, Frederick continued to use his energy to lift the doll in the air. Then, he used some ventriloquist techniques to make a sinister and horrifying laugh.Fiona was so scared by the scene before her that she began to tremble.Frederick put on a terrified expression and said, "Oh my God. There's another ghost here, except she's headless. That's terrifying!"Fiona felt goosebumps all over after hearing Frederick's words. She turned around and looked at him in disbelief. "Aren't I the only ghost here?" She asked for confirmation.Frederick pointed to a space behind her and said, "D-Don't you have a partner standing behind you? S-She's even placed her head on your shoulders!"Under the influence of her own mind, Fiona felt a chill on her back and felt like there was actually something on her shoulder after hearing his words.Fiona was so scared that she immediately ran toward Frederick. However, Frederick was much faster than her and quickly left her behind.Fiona was so scared
Anya was furious. "You know that Fiona is a girl. How could you scare her like that?"Anya didn't think much of it when Fiona had planned to scare Frederick as he was a man and would be fine after a small fright.She never expected Frederick to end up scaring Fiona into such a state.Frederick wanted to explain himself, but Anya was in a particularly bad mood tonight. She turned to Frederick and roared, "How unlucky could I have been to get engaged to someone like you?"With that said, Anya brought Fiona upstairs. On the other hand, Frederick watched the two women leave, feeling extremely helpless.It took Anya some time to get Fiona to sleep after bringing her upstairs.Then, she sat alone in her bed as tears streamed down her face. She had planned to manage the company properly to prove herself to her brother. But nothing seemed to be going right.The victims of the previous cosmetic product mishap were still troubling them. Today, an employee had lost their hand during a cele
"Pris, could you go and look for my boss? Tell him that I've been arrested. He promised me he'd help me."It was Priscilla's second time hearing Mitchell mention his boss.She had experienced the highs and lows that humanity had to offer. She had been a rising young entrepreneur in Jenaire City only two months ago. But when her company was facing bankruptcy, no one had been willing to offer her a helping hand. Instead, they were all thinking of ways to get a bargain when she was selling off her company's assets at a low price.After experiencing it all, Priscilla knew that people in society were cold and indifferent. Was Mitchell's so-called "boss" really willing to help him?"Mitch, would your boss really help you?"Mitchell was still immersed in the memory of Thomas' promise to help him. He had even given him two beautiful ladies in the process.Hence, Mitchell truly trusted Thomas. "Pris, I'll tell you where my boss is. All you have to do is look for him and tell him that th
However, Thomas was immediately stunned when he saw the attendant bring Priscilla and Grace into his office.As a leading figure in the underworld, it was his first time seeing such a beautiful woman as Priscilla.His attitude immediately changed as he said, "May I ask what brings the two of you here?"Priscilla quickly informed him of the purpose of their visit. "Hello. Mitchell was the one who sent me here. He said that he had been betrayed by two bitches, causing him to get arrested. He hopes that you'll be able to help him."Although Priscilla didn't know who the two bitches in question were, she still repeated what Mitchell had told her.Thomas's expression changed slightly. He never expected Mitchell to know such a beautiful lady. "May I ask what's your relationship with Mitchell?"Priscilla answered, "I'm his older sister. Mitchell told me you'd be able to help him. So, could you please help him?"Thomas narrowed his eyes after hearing that Priscilla was Mitchell's sister
Not to mention, Fiona's heart condition was acting up because he had scared her last night.Frederick quickly said, "I'll go and take a look at her condition."Anya stopped him. "What are you going up there for? She's not awake yet, so she's still in her pajamas. It's not appropriate for you to check up on her now. "There's been a lot of problems within the company recently, so I won't have time to take care of Fiona. You should come home after you get off work to look after her."Up until today, Anya still had no clue what job Frederick had found. Although she did not expect Frederick to be the breadwinner of the family, she did hope that he would be able to care for family matters.Hearing Anya's words, Frederick felt slightly embarrassed. At the end of the day, Anya's company was also his company. But he had never put in the effort to manage it.He had always trusted that Anya would be able to manage the company well. Furthermore, he didn't want Anya to know that he was the
After Anya left, Frederick returned to his room to draft his resignation letter. He had planned to hand it in to Ivy today.Throughout his time at Timbergale Corporation, Frederick had grown a liking to most of the employees in the company, especially Olivia, Melissa, and Ivy. However, he still had to prioritize his own company.After arriving at Timbergale Corporation, Frederick felt a strange atmosphere within the office. The air felt heavy and oppressive.Frederick looked around the office in confusion and realized that a few of his team members were missing from their desks.Upon seeing Frederick, Olivia immediately went up to greet him. "Mr. York, how was the party last night? Did you have fun?"Frederick rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. Well, yesterday's party was indeed interesting to say the least.Luckily, Olivia wasn't present. Otherwise, she would probably be traumatized if she witnessed someone's arm get cut off.Olivia was oblivious to everything that had happ
Frederick was Ivy's strongest soldier. She believed that Frederick would not leave them at a time of crisis.The other employees' faces turned red after hearing Ivy's words before leaving her office hurriedly.Only then did Ivy try to regain her composure. She smiled and asked, "Frederick, why did you come to my office?"Frederick quickly kept his resignation letter inside his pocket. How could he leave right after hearing Ivy praise him so highly in front of the other employees? Ivy would probably be disheartened if he were to resign now."Oh—I just came to see if there's anything I can help with."Although his own company was facing a crisis, the crisis Timbergale seemed to be facing was slightly bigger.Frederick had planned to continue helping Ivy resolve the company's issues even after resigning and returning to his own company.After all, Ivy had treated him well throughout his time in Timbergale, so he had to do his best to repay her kindness.Ivy felt touched after hear
