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
Javier felt wronged. What did he do to have bullied Quinna? It was Quinna who wanted him to be bullied, and he fought back, only for the woman to claim that she was the one bullied.It did not even make sense. It was as absurd as the decorative tree at the hotel’s entrance that had rainbow-colored leaves.Nevertheless, Javier opened up for Quinna ultimately. They were partners, so he gave a 40% discount. Slashing 11 million dollars, he charged only 7 million dollars and forwent the 4 million dollars. It was a patent fee anyway. If Heisenberg Inc. did not invent any new car, Javier would not earn anything from them.In this way, both parties took a step back. No one was suffering a loss, and both of them managed to make it a win-win situation.Quinna wore a smile then.When Trevor got up to answer a call outside, Javier asked her, “Quinna, I’ve already opened up the way for you. Should you do the same for me too?”Quinna paused for a moment, not quite understanding what Javier mea
After successfully driving a bunch of kids away, Javier, Trevor, and Quinna ordered another bottle of wine and resumed their meal. They were not at all bothered by the young man’s threat earlier.Despite being mediocre, the young man kept his promise. When dinner was about to end, four speeding cars came to an abrupt stop in front of the hotel. A man in his thirties then got out of the imported Land Rover that was the first car in front.According to the police’s reminder, the most basic characteristics of a thug were a crew cut, big gold chains, and tattoos. Not that one was certainly a thug by fulfilling these three descriptions, but most low-ranked thugs were dressed like this. Even if those were not pure gold chains, they were keeping up their appearances if it meant they had to wear ones made from copper.That was how the man who got out of the Land Rover looked. He had a lofty pace and swung gold chains in front of him as if he was wearing a rosary while over a dozen underli
Griff was now laughing maniacally. Because he had arrogantly asked Javier to put his hand inside the meat grinding machine, it was enough to tell he was no ordinary crazy man.However, Javier especially loved it when people were crazy and arrogant because he would find them even more interesting when he put them in their place.Hence, he lit up a cigarette and blew the smoke right at Griff’s face. “Sorry, but I don’t like to move around. How about you have your men go inside the kitchen and bring the meat grinder out instead?”Griff laughed even more and turned around to his underlings at the back. “Heh! This little sh*t seems rather arrogant. This makes things even more interesting.”After retracting his sinister grin from his underlings, Griff went on to look at Javier once more.“Sure, I’ll have my men go get the meat grinder out, but I’m going to have to add in some interest. I think you should also put your other hand inside, don’t you agree?”Javier flicked the ashes off
After leaving the restaurant, Trevor hailed a cab and took off while Javier drove Quinna home.During the journey, Javier reminded her, “Make sure you be careful over the next few days. I’ll have someone be your driver tomorrow.”There was no need to be afraid of an upstanding person, but there was definitely a need to be wary of petty people.Javier may not be afraid of Griff getting his revenge, but he could not guarantee Griff would not capture Quinna to vent his frustration.This was not a risk Javier was ever going to take. Quinna was his woman, so he did not want her to be harmed in the slightest.Faced with Javier’s concern, Quinna smiled and said she would be fine.“I’m basically inside the company most of the time, so do you think he would dare to gather his men and storm inside, perhaps?”Quinna did not think it was a great deal, but Javier wanted her to be careful just in case.He could not be careless before taking care of Griff. Hence, he decided to have GTR become
After getting out of bed, showering, and enjoying the hotel’s breakfast buffet, Javier drove off to Heisenberg Group.He had already made an appointment to sign the contract in Quinna’s office at 9:00 a.m.Javier drove the entire journey and arrived at the entrance, which had rather strict security since they were now a national corporation. This was especially true if anyone wanted to enter the headquarters.However, the security guard there had recognized Javier’s car. Of course, the majesticness of the car was one thing, but the identity of the person inside that car was another matter.The gates opened up before Javier even arrived, and the guards saluted him professionally.Now before the headquarters, the guard on duty there opened up Javier’s door for him, causing other onlookers who had only just joined the corporation to think he was another new director! Shortly after, Javier took the elevator and arrived at Quinna’s office.Surprisingly, her office door was still tig
