The Ace at the Apex Chapter 39 One Should Not Live Their Lives at the Mercy of Others
In truth, Jade had not only agreed to have Javier stay in her home to honor her bet, but she also did it for the Dunhams. Later on, she came clean with Javier about her thoughts and hoped that by having Javier live in her home, the fellow from the Dunhams would finally give up. If he were to stop pursuing Jade, she would not be forced into marrying him anymore. However, Javier did not agree with her thoughts. Instead, he merely thought that Jade was unknowingly making him more enemies! If he were to live in Jade’s home, both the Odells and the Dunhams would immediately see him as a hostile presence. However, Javier decided that it didn't matter.‘Why should I be worried about those small fries when I’m the one they should be afraid of? Let those foolish idiots come at me as much as they want then! I’ll teach them a lesson that they will remember forever… They will come to realize that I’m no mere pushover they can just mess around with whenever they please!’Jade’s house was lo
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 40 They Should Be the Ones Coming to Beg Us!
Jade’s words were firm, something that was almost unimaginable for her to have considering her slender and petite frame.In fact, her fearless temperament bolstered Catherine’s courage. Finally, Catherine took a deep breath and nodded her head. “All right then!”With that, Catherine agreed to have Javier live with them… That night, Javier was arranged to live on the second floor, while Jade and Catherine lived on the third. Initially, Catherine was worried that Javier might get up to no good during the night, but it turned out that she had been worried for nothing. It was only after this that Catherine wholeheartedly accepted Javier living in their home. The next morning, Jade and Javier headed to the company, where they entered their own offices and buried their heads into their work. However, after a mere half an hour, Jade rushed into Javier’s office in a panic. “Javier! Something bad happened!”Javier could tell from Jade’s expression that whatever it was, it was definit
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 41 Don’t Come Begging Me
Jade’s first instinct was to decline, but Javier beat her to the punch and said yes, much to the young woman’s initial bewilderment. Of course, by the end of their lunch, Jade saw why. Javier could drink an ocean if he wanted to.Jade wagered the men had consumed a good 700ml or so worth of white wine each, and yet only Dwayne and Clement were positively sh*t-faced. By the time Jade and Javier left, those two were swinging their clothes around like a lasso while taking their sexiest attempts at twerking.To top it off, Dwayne would even throw his head and spew a drunken, skyward spout every now and then. Clement, being quite the supportive hype-man, would then groggily clap and cheer, “Ooh…Pwetty…fountain!”To sober up after that spectacular foofaraw was to toil in embarrassment.“You are a f*cking lightweight, Mr. Lewinsky. That was what, a kid-sized pint? And apparently, that’s enough to reduce you to a clown!”“Ha, the pot calling the kettle a terrible drinker, aye? You were th
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 42 You Got What You Wanted
Javier left Midnoon Tires and began making calls and arrangements as soon as he got into his car. Satisfied, he played some airy music and drove back to the company, terrifyingly relaxed and chilled.His return was immediately greeted by a grinning Jade, who sprung into his office, beaming. “Oh. My. God! You wouldn’t believe how frickin’ cool Ms. Gould is. She’s such a bad*ss! Upon arriving at work, Mae Kingsley didn’t waste time before planting system-breaking bugs and making up fake accounting to siphon our funding away. Just around-the-clock crippling our financial system!“But then Ms. Gould came, and do you know how much time it took her to debug the entire system that saboteur tried so hard to ruin? Less than ten frickin’ minutes! Then she sniffed out that fake accounting and the stolen funds and wrapped it around Mae’s neck like a leash! Ha! That old rat was so scared, she was squealing for mercy and started laying out all the deets…just like that!”Jade subsequently relayed
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 43 Say Goodbye To Being A Lewinsky!
Waking up to all of her old customers and their contracts pouring back in made Jade Odell quite ecstatic. She was in a good mood, especially after she arrived at her office to find Dwayne Lewis standing there with a smile that could only be a prelude to flattery.“Ms. Odell, just the brilliant mind I’ve been dying to see! Finally, I've been waiting for you!”Jade scoffed. “For what? Waiting to get Mr. Kersey so drunk that you can finally harass me uninterrupted?”Her barb cut deeply enough to instantly make Dwayne’s face wrinkle in embarrassment. “Oh god, no! That was a misunderstanding, Ms. Odell! A blunder on my part! Don’t take it seriously, Ms. Odell…”Dwayne did not stop there. His flattery and apologies were incessant as he followed Jade into her office. Anything and everything he had done before today, be it trivial or no, had an apology of its own. The goal was to soften Jade up and appeal to her angels, hoping that she would eventually supply tires for his cars once again…
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 44 Such Tactical Prowess! Such Majestic Air!
Javier had not cared enough to lace his words with the most basic of courtesies. In fact, he was provocative and disrespectful, which only fanned the flames in Clement even more.Unfortunately, right now, he was hardly in the position to negotiate nor continue his previous hissy fit. As Javier had so succinctly pointed out, tantrums were not going to fix the pickle he was in.“Fine.” It was all he could say by this point. “How much are you willing to fork out to acquire my company?”Javier made a whole theater production of counting with his fingers before proclaiming, “About 780 thousand dollars.”“You said what now?!” Clement could not believe his ears. It took Javier repeating himself to convince the former that he had not misheard his quotation, and send him into a flying fit.“Son of a b*tch! Are you f**king kidding me? My company’s fixed assets make up to at least 4.7 million dollars, dumb*ss! And now you’re buying a company worth that much with that paltry 780k dollars?!”
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 45 Promises Made, Promises Kept—the Quarterly Deal
The quarterly deal!This used to look like Mount Spectacular to Jade. A spectacular benchmark, yes, but also something she believed she could scale. Then a battalion of business difficulties joined forces with family members trying their damndest to frustrate her, and suddenly, Jade found herself facing grueling odds to meet her goal.However, all of that changed since Javier Kersey appeared. Even the most insurmountable of odds crumbled before him, like a famous landmark helpless before the might of a superhero! And now, even without any long-term preparation, he managed to push her into fulfilling the deal!As Jade’s fair, delicate hands flipped through the contract detailing the change to the ownership of Midnoon Tires, they trembled against her wishes. She was astounded that Javier managed to acquire their rival company at a slashed price of 780 thousand dollars. She was ecstatic that she had managed to hold up the end of her deal, thus freeing her from the nightmare of a politi
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 46 Should You Be Holding It in Your Hand?
Matthew was exceptionally confident that Jade would not be able to fulfill the quarterly deal they had.Clement had called him earlier in the afternoon and said that production had recovered while the controversy surrounding Midnoon Tires had also died down. Midnoon Tires had also reacquired most of the orders that had flocked to Beacon Tires when the scandal broke out.In Clement’s words, Beacon Tires was only a step away from bankruptcy! That was why Matthew dared be so sure.While those in the meeting shifted their gazes toward Jade, the lady was calm and composed as she retrieved photocopies of a report from her workbag. She tossed them on top of the meeting table and everyone picked up a copy. Everyone got a copy except Matthew.When they saw the photocopied reports, they gaped. The Matthew’s lackeys who had been hollering shut their mouths then. This made Matthew curious. Snatching one from his underlings to see for himself, he was shocked at what he read and stood frozen lik
