“Stop it!”Faris sped through his toilet break and dashed back to Kayson. He had decided. No matter the price, he had to keep his ties with Kayson!It was just that he was greeted by the scene of Archer asking his men to beat up Kayson when he returned. The sight nearly scared him witless.“Archer Gustin! You b*stard! What are you trying to do to Mr. Yarde!”Archer quivered when he turned back to see Faris and stuttered, “C-Chief Cook…”The thugs next to him stopped as well.Faris was glowering as his rage flared while looking at Archer.He raised his hand and swung it down on Archer’s face. The latter’s face was already injured, so the slap only made him shudder harder in pain.“Mr. Gustin! Very well done! You’re even better than your chief now, huh!?”Archer trembled. “N-No…”Faris glanced at the thugs and hardened his gaze. “Don’t know how to piss off on your own?”The men knew that someone Archer was so scared of was definitely someone they could not afford to offend, so
It was already past 9:00 p.m. when Sadie woke up. She sat up in a startle and looked around to find that she was in her own house.‘What’s going on? Wasn’t I at the Shengville Hotel? How did I get back?’Beatrice noticed that Sadie was awake, so she approached and asked in worry, “Sade, how are you feeling?”“Mom…” Sadie calmed herself down and shook her head. “I’m fine… Why am I home?”“Your bodyguards sent you back. It’s too dangerous. You nearly let him have his way. If it weren’t for the bodyguards… I can’t even imagine the consequences.”Beatrice could still feel the fear when she recalled how the four bodyguards had sent an unconscious Sadie home.Sadie breathed in relief. “All thanks to them! If they weren’t there, I’m afraid…”She was terrified. ‘That j*rk Archer!’“Don’t worry. Your father rewarded all four of them. Remember to thank them when you go to the office tomorrow.”“I will.” Sadie nodded. She did not expect the four bodyguards to be so good. The high price s
“Hmm, you’re awesome, Mr. Kace! It’s my first time being fully healed within such a short time!”“It’s good that you’ve recovered.”Kayson did not pay too much attention to Easton but returned to his seat. Noticing that Kayson did not seem to be in a good mood, Easton asked curiously, “Mr. Kace, did something displease you?”Kayson was about to speak when the woman who had informed them about the meeting yesterday showed up at the door.“The team leader of The Tetrad, please attend the meeting in Boardroom 3!”“Meeting again?” Easton was momentarily stunned, but he said soon afterward, “It will be better if you go, Mr. Kace.”“That’s kind of inappropriate, right?”“It’s not inappropriate!” Easton hastily said, “You’re the leader of The Tetrad, and I’ll punish whoever dares to object!” At the thought of the solemn ambiance in the car on the way to the company, Kayson felt that it was indeed necessary for him to find out the situation.In the boardroom…Miles made a fuss ins
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
