Knowing he had set the young woman’s cheeks aflame, Javier felt her hand wriggling against his hold as it tried to break free. He did nothing to stop it, so her hand easily slipped out of his grip.“What a waste,” he remarked aloud. “Your golden ticket to pleasure you’ve never felt before was right there between your fingers! But you just had to let it go. Sorry for your loss, beautiful.”The young woman pointedly turned her head away, and her falling, disheveled hair hurriedly covered her gorgeous features. Half a minute later, she finally broke her silence. “I don’t know what you’re trying to tell me, sir, but my boss has been waiting for you for a while now. Please see him right away!”Well, that was an indirect but resounding no. She had basically told Javier that her gate was closed and she was not spreading it wide for him.Fine by him. Not everyone was capable of recognizing a chance and seizing it, right?Javier collected himself and climbed the stairs with big strides, hi
It was clear as day. Clark was a piece of sh*t, the most useless kind, at that. He was so useless he was the kind of tick who did not even know the name of the host he was leeching. He was a brainless parasite and deserved nothing more than to be ejected like one.Javier ignored Clark completely and yanked the door open before descending the stairs.Clark had to wriggle his rotund meatball of a body to keep up on Javier’s tail while putting on his best apologetic smiles. “Don’t leave so soon, Mr. Kersey! Please, have dinner with me! I know a spectacular place around here. The food is really good. I’ll treat you!”He was now using his business daddy’s money to “treat” his daddy to a meal. Clark was the epitome of a deadbeat, deadweight son!Javier ignored Clark even more and marched into his car.The reception lady was startled by what she was seeing. When would the arrogant, self-important, cocky Clarke ever see the need to lick another person’s boots? It was so mind-boggling that
Mary Jane had always been good at reading the room. All it took her to understand the situation was Javier’s suspicion being directed at her latest guest. Few people in the company possessed the authority to circumvent her in the company’s decision-making process, and even fewer still would do something explicitly for Mary Jane’s sake, all for an unselfish reason.Javier was definitely not the one. Chad had no motives. Other higher-ups were not at all close to her that such an act would seem conceivable for them to do.Sensing both of their suspicions locking on her, Jade froze, a little perplexed. “Uh, what did I do this time? You two are looking at me like that.”“Is it just me,” Javier asked, “Or have you become even more beautiful?”Jade glared at him. “Be serious!”It would be a fool’s wish to get Javier to do that, so Mary Jane stepped in. “You’re the one who’s been helping Clark Gould, aren’t you?”Jade reeled back in realization. “Oh, so this is what it’s about? Yeah, it’
While Clark was kissing the check victoriously, Mary Jane entered and picked up a square plastic stool on the floor as she made her way toward her nephew.Just as Clack turned his head when he realized that someone was walking toward him, the stool crashed against his head with a loud crack. The square plastic stool was pretty much harmless, but the broken shards easily cut Clark’s face and made it a bloody mess.Clark was bewildered, looking at his aunt, who had swung a stool in his face so violently.Mary Jane crossed her legs as she sat on the couch and asked Clark, “Do you think your aunt’s very good? That I can rein Reivaj Group? That no one dares offend me? Not even Javier and others?“Do you think your aunt’s prowess in finance is peerless? That no one can replace me? So I can do whatever I want and even let you, my nephew, do whatever you want? That you can mock Javier right in front of his bodyguard?”Clark wanted to reply when he realized that the check he was holding ea
The Nebula Design Inc.’s reception lady was actually here at his residence. It surprised Javier. He could not wrap his head around how she had found out that he lived here.After approaching her and studying her alluring body, Javier asked, “How did you find your way here?”The reception lady answered, “Mr. Kersey, you’re famous. The chairman of Reivaj Group. It isn’t hard to find you.”Speaking of which, that was also correct. Javier’s residence had never been kept confidential. One could honestly find him easily if they wanted to. Hence, he asked again, “What do you want coming here this late at night and dressed up so sexily?”A breeze lifted the black lace on the woman and offered a peek at the temptation lying inside. She was quite a treat.She answered sultrily, “I just want you to help me, Mr. Kersey. I haven’t felt real happiness as a woman. I am troubled every time Clark forces himself on him. I don’t feel anything, and it ends.“After experiencing your greatness today,
All that should happen happened naturally, so it was two hours later by the time everything came to an end.It was with Jade’s urging that Javier left the bathroom. Once he stepped into the bedroom, he received Trevor’s call.Trevor was now the general manager of the Chinean car under Reivaj Group. He had the authority to make decisions. Why was he calling this late at night?Javier picked up his phone and a cigarette to go to answer the call and smoke on the balcony.It was not anything grave as Trevor reported all sorts of good news, like how much the sales had increased, how many 4S Shops directly under the Chinean brand were opened, the research state of the new car, the state of overseas sales, and whatnot. They all shared the similarity of soaring up high.In the end, he told Javier, “Not trying to brag, but the annual profit of our Chinean car has gone past 1.5 billion dollars!”1.5 billion dollars sounded like an astronomical figure at first. The total asset assessment of
The next morning, when Javier left his place, he got into the backseat of the car while Herschel took the wheel.“To Heisenberg Inc., I’ll take a nap while you drive there.”Herschel started the engine and drove out of the residential area, speaking. “Boss, I previously met a master living in seclusion, and he taught me how to read faces. It’s magical. I read your face just now. Do you want to know?”“No,” Javier answered.Herschel made an “oh” and continued to say, “Don’t hide your desire. You want it, I know.“From my observation, you’re pale, your steps are floaty, and your eyes are dazed. I think a siren sucked all your energy and for the entire night too, nearly devouring you clean. I think it’s time you replenish some nourishment.“I’ll get some good proteins for you later and some powerful tonic and stuff. You shouldn’t have staple meals recently. Just take these nourishments and recover your energy. You—”“F*ck off!”Herschel was one to talk. Who knew how he had so much
A chivalric knight would sacrifice for what was worth his loyalty. The medieval ancestors had figured that out a long time ago. That reflected in Trevor and Javier’s current situation.Of course, there was a premise—the knight was worth being recognized for his prowess and honor.Obviously, Trevor was the knight worthy of that, so Javier was willing to bestow him the power unconditionally. The absolute and unreserved support filled Trevor with fervent motivation.Nevertheless, such motivation was different from Javier’s motivation when he saw Quinna.She wore a white batwing-sleeved blouse with black patterns, white high-waist pants, and lavish but elegant high heels—each step Quinna took exuded an incomparable charm that was bound to entice. Her pretty face, especially, captivated in a glance that one’s soul could simply be pulled away.Javier watched Quinna, who came to them, sat down with his elbows on the table, and kept staring with a side-eye.“Quinna, kitty, why do I feel
