Skyler praised Paige after listening to her. “If your father had foreseen the situation today, he would’ve deeply regretted his choices. Paige, you’re a more suitable candidate to lead the Remington Group compared to your brother.”Skyler seldom gave compliments to his employees. Compared to when she was still working with him as his secretary, Skyler never complimented her that much. Paige beamed as she continued, “Director Flynn if that’s the case, do you think I’m somewhat gifted in the business field? If I continue doing what I’ve been doing, do you think it’d work?”Compared to Zion, Paige was still way underneath him in terms of their capability and experience in the business field. Paige still held onto her previous plan since neither of them could come up with a better solution. “You could try, I suppose. But this time around, you have to remember what Estelle reminded you… Make sure not to go overboard,” advised Skyler. Paige nodded in agreement. She was still in the mid
Yoel Fabian was taken away by the cops in front of everyone. Hence, almost everyone in the company was aware that she was involved in a fraud case. Seeing how she returned to the company as if nothing happened, the staff were surprised but neither of them dared to ask her personally. Zion was sure that it was Skyler who bailed her out. Paige looked calm on the outside but a storm already brewed in her mind. She held herself back from beating Zion into a pulp. She simply replied, “I do know Director Flynn personally. Manager Zion, how’s the previous case going on?”It was not every day that she got to pour cold water on Zion’s enthusiasm, so Paige was determined to get back to Zion this time. However, Zion seemed as if he was already well-prepared for her questions as he quickly answered, “It was going on well until word about the fact that you were involved in a fraud case spread.”“If I was involved in the fraud case, I would’ve been locked up in prison, and not showing up here,
Paige was reminded of what Skyler said to her… “Zion isn’t someone to be underestimated. Judging by how he was willing to let the situation unfold this way, he must have a solution to it. If you keep dancing to his tempo, you’ll never be able to make a difference in your company.”“If the mountain won't go to Mohammed, then bring Mohammed to the mountain. Even if I can’t get rid of the one who’s responsible for it, I ought to do something different.” The more she thought about it, the more Paige felt confident of her plan. She then made a call to the Logistics Department.Up to that point, there was only a newbie who worked in the department and he knew nothing about the company’s operating budget. “That’s alright. Bring me the reports and I’ll do the calculations myself.” After all, Paige received her training from the Flynns and the Sanders. Hence, accounting was a piece of cake for her. Within a few moments, she had a rough calculation of how much funds were left. It was clear t
Assuming that he must have misunderstood her, Paige was about to explain herself. However, on second thought, she thought that it would be a good idea to make him spill more beans. Hence, she continued, “Don’t worry, I don’t mean it like that. Just that we’re going to the pub tomorrow night and I’m worried that you won’t find anyone who’s your type.”She then put on a sincere look on her face and added, “The things that happened between us back then were all a misunderstanding. I was simply trying to build a good relationship with you, but I didn’t know that things would go overboard.”Even Paige thought that she sounded fake, and it was of course that Zion did not take her words seriously. For the sake of preventing Yoel from attacking him again, Zion closed his laptop and replied, “We’ll think about it tomorrow night instead. Who knows, I might have urgent work to deal with and would need to excuse myself from the gathering with the rest.”With a face full of smiles, Paige said g
The pub was situated at a famous alley that was filled with other night pubs, hence they have a lot of regulars that were youngsters. There were times where these customers would ask for some help to keep them partying throughout the night. The bartender looked like he was in his thirties. He studied Paige who stood in front of him, dressed appropriately but looked rather feminine. He concluded that she was too young to be feeling low on energy and said to her knowingly, “Of course we have them. But you pay what you get, and I’m sure you simply want to satisfy your girlfriend, right?”He looked at Paige with a weird look on his face and Paige understood what he was trying to imply. Paige felt embarrassed all of a sudden but on second thought, this had nothing to do with her since she was disguised as Yoel Fabian. “There you go!” Paige gave him all the cash that she had on her but the bartender still did not look satisfied with the payment. Hence she removed her watch, handed it ov
After calming down a little, Zion then went to question the waiter. “What was that?!”The waiter felt wronged and hurriedly explained himself, “I’m sorry, Sir. This was requested by someone and he said that mangoes should be eaten with chili powder.”Zion only started to feel weird when the waiter walked away. He chugged several glasses of water down but he felt even thirstier than before. Zion felt his body warming up and was short of breath. “Waiter, please get me another glass of iced water,” Zion thought that he must have chugged down the cocktail too quickly and wanted to slow his body down from heating up. Rather quickly, the waiter served him a glass of iced water and without any hesitation, Zion emptied the glass in one gulp. The cold water relieved the heat building up in his body, but within a second, the heat started building up again and it was even more unbearable that time. Zion tried his best to focus on the laptop screen, but no matter how hard he tried, he foun
The lady caught Zion in her hands and whined, “What happened to playing hard-to-get? What’s the sudden rush? We have all night.”“Leave me alone!” Zion pushed her away with the remaining strength that he had left in him and shut his laptop down. Paige was dumbfounded by what she saw. She thought to herself that in a situation like that, Zion still did not forget to shut down his laptop and she wondered if there were some trade secrets that he tried to hide.Just when Paige was in the middle of debating whether she should get Zion’s laptop in her hands, something happened at the bar where Zion and the lady were at. Zion was completely knocked out and he leaned toward the lady. They both looked like lovebirds from afar. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to be acting like this here, handsome,” The lady looked forward to an exciting night as she got her hands on her prey. However, no matter how she tried to help Zion get on his feet, Zion did not budge at all. He was, after al
Paige thought that Zion acted all reluctant in front of everyone but as soon as he was alone with the lady, he showed his true colors. Paige concluded that Zion was a two-faced bastard.The more she thought about it, the more Paige was convinced that her plan was working. She took out a recorder and was ready to record their conversation as evidence.At the same time, Zion started regaining his consciousness. His body burned hot and he instinctively wanted to lean closer into the bedsheet that felt cold but for some reason, someone stopped him from doing so. In the end, he got annoyed and cursed out loud, “Who is it? Get out right now!”He heard a familiar female voice. “If I leave right now, you’d have to spend the night all alone. Do you want that?”Upon hearing the lady’s voice, Zion immediately recalled what happened before he lost his consciousness. He felt the blood rush through his veins as he sprung up from the bed. The room was dark and he ended up bumping into the lady.
