After what happened at Gurtuh’s the last time, Mallory had no longer wanted anything to do with Donny, but the man resorted to sweet words and repeated promises that he would not lie to her again. Thus, she had chosen to forgive him—yet, he not only tried to steal today but also lied to her without batting an eye like she was a fool.Mallory was furious. Her hands may be cuffed, but it did not stop her from raising her leg and kicking Donny with her heels-clad foot, making the latter hiss in pain.Javier could care less about this. He had more important things to do.“If you both want to leave this place, the best thing to do now is to shut up and let me handle it.”“Why must we—”Another kick from Mallory shut Donny up.If Javier had not been worried about the incident embarrassing Chineans, he would not even care about these two people. Donny, especially, could be drowned in the lake for all he cared!Swinging his hand, Javier slapped Donny again without any forewarning. Donny
That night, Javier did not return to his room but slept with Suzanne. Even then, nothing actually happened between them as Javier chose to respect Suzanne’s wishes.Of course, it also had to do with the lab being abandoned after he offended Suzanne back then.After returning from the overseas trip, the assembled equipment arrived soon after them. Usually, the vice CEO would send such a huge order over. Still, Javier was obviously not a usual case to Heinfensmirtz Inc. Adolf sent it personally and promised that there would be a 60% discount when the rest of the equipment would be sent over within half a month.The discount was shocking—taking 96 million dollars off 160 million dollars—so Javier could not help asking, “You’re done being the CEO, is that the case?”Adolf was determined. “Even if the board of directors kicked me out, I stand firm to show my favor to you, Mr. Kersey. I strongly believe that you’re my lucky star.”Javier chuckled. “What if I watch you get kicked out a
Most of the researchers who were on leave had returned by the time the equipment arrived. Compared to the original research team, a total of five people were missing. Alyssa was—well, who knew where she was decomposing right now, while the other four had left the team for their own reasons.Luckily, they were only assistants and would not hinder the research progress. They were not too aware of the invention process in particular either. In Suzanne’s words, they were people who could not provide any insightful answers even if other research teams recruited them.Suzanne led the members to begin installing the adjusting equipment and running the experiment on the psoriasis vaccine once more. The effect turned out well. The vaccine could both prevent and treat psoriasis and demonstrated a decent efficacy. The result pleased Javier.Hence, the drug manufacturing plant began to manufacture in batches while Javier sent the vaccine to relevant departments as well as went to a professional
Steve was terrified. He never thought in a million years that the huge gift Javier had meant would turn out to be such a thing.Although the photo of him having a meal with a certain higher-up was not enough to prove anything, he had no idea what other things Javier’s huge gift contained, which was the point that terrified him the most.After successfully gaining Steve’s attention, Javier packed up his things and was about to leave.Of course, there was no way Steven would allow Javier to walk away, so he hurriedly stood up to stop him.“Hang on, my friend, please. That’s a rather wonderful gift you’ve got there. May I see it first?”Javier smiled and said, “What’s the matter, Mr. Collings? Are you interested in my gift now? You didn’t seem to think much about it just now, though!”Steven smiled in embarrassment, seeming especially apologetic. “I didn’t realize your gift would pack such a huge punch.”Javier continued. “So, you want to know if there’s anything that packs an even
Steve had been on the phone for a very long time, trying to show his sincerity.However, Javier did not seem to be the least bit interested in his invitation. After all, he knew exactly what Steve was up to, so he rejected his invitation.Evidently, he would not allow Steven to have that honor of buying him a meal. Why should he anyway?After hanging up the phone, Javier sat in his car and immediately returned to the research center.In the end, the moment he met up with Suzanne and told her that the patent’s application was about to be completed, the latter suddenly complained to him about something. “Although my subordinates haven’t made any extra requests, don’t you think it isn’t appropriate for them to live together in the same quarters?”Javier was confused as to what was happening. It was not until Suzanne explained everything that he realized they did not have suitable accommodations for the researchers. Doug had arranged for them to live in their company accommodations,
Javier left Suzanne’s research center and ordered Herschel to look into the thing that was bothering Suzanne.He still had the same thought as before. ‘Once I find out what it is that’s bothering her and resolve it, I’m sure everything will be alright.’After sending Herschel away, Javier drove himself to a nearby hotel that seemed to be garden-themed, Hotel Garcia.Hotel Garcia may have a rather elegant name, but it was a hotel with a much more beautiful environment.Javier had been there once in the past and was rather satisfied with what he saw.He was there to have a chat with the owner of the hotel, intending to see whether he could rent his rooms long-term, three months, at the very least.He believed that Doug’s construction would be more or less done after three months, and they could even rent a little longer if required. The researchers under Suzanne were all precious babies to Javier, geese that laid golden eggs. Thus, he wanted to make sure they were well-served.H
Javier had never heard of the name Audrey Mendez before, but he had heard of a person called Audrey Bitoni.Audrey Bitoni is a p*rnstar ranked somewhere around the top 100 in the world.Javier sniffed his palm after shaking Audrey’s hand and said, “Yup, you’re quite fragrant like your name.”Audrey was startled for a moment but quickly revealed a smile.Javier had just teased her, and other ordinary women would probably be feeling frustrated at that moment, if not furious.However, Audrey felt no such thing. After all, she had been running the hotel for a long time, so it was only natural for her to have come across all kinds of people. She had even heard vulgar words in the past, so Javier’s words meant nothing to her.Instead, she smiled and asked, “How many rooms would you like to book, Mr. Kersey? What sort of requirements do you have?”Since they were now discussing business, Javier recollected his flirty emotions and put on a serious expression. “Let’s begin from your best
At that moment, Audrey was so embarrassed that she began to panic. She originally thought that Javier was a major customer, which was true. However, he was a relentless *sshole with no boundaries.Aside from the fact that he had forcefully flirted with her, he was now even trying to force her into…that!Audrey had already decided she would rather not have his business than have her honor tarnished.However, right at that moment, there were a few knocks on her door, which were rather rough.The moment Javier turned around to take a look, Audrey was able to grab that opportunity and escape, hurrying over to face her desk, even pulling open a drawer.Inside the drawer was a can of pepper spray.She thought that she would spray it onto Javier’s eyes if needed.However, the person knocking on her door suddenly stopped and forced his way inside instead.Audrey’s office door was clearly unlocked, so it was a wonder why whoever was behind would choose to knock on it rather than enter
