The car sped all the way to a local bar.Upon entering, Kaiser ordered two glasses of whiskey before he sat with his son and had a chat with him. Javier even found out that a woman called Shirley Quinn was Kaiser’s subordinate.However, there was one thing he still could not figure out. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that she’s one of your people?”“It’s a very long story, but it begins with the fact that she’s motherless!”After a long sigh of exclamation, Kaiser took a drink before he gave Javier an explanation. “In short, I didn’t expect you to approach her. I only found out about your appearance after she told me everything. I wasn’t going to tell you anything originally because I didn’t want you to get involved with the Raiders…”Kaiser then went on to say a lot of things. He did not want Javier to be involved with the Raiders because of the fact that Javier was his only son. After all, no father in the world would willingly put his son in danger. When Kaiser realized
Obviously, the darkness in the bar had been caused by a power outage. Everything very quickly returned to normal, but Kaiser was no longer in front of Javier.The entire ordeal had not even taken 10 seconds, yet Kaiser had managed to disappear without a trace.Javier rushed out of the bar and noticed that the vintage Rolls Royce was still around.However, the car was now completely empty.There was a note on the driver’s seat that said… ‘Stop trying to look for me. Do you think you’re going to find me when the old fox couldn’t?’Javier was rendered speechless.He looked around at the heaps of cars driving past but could not discern which one Kaiser was in, which obstructed any intention he had of trying to locate his father.‘D*mn it, Dad. There’s seriously nothing I can do about you coming and going like a phantom.’At that moment, Javier heard a clear voice singing a tune coming from the radio. “My dear father, the man I love the most…”‘What the f*ck?! Now you’re just tryin
The woman who had entered was very beautiful and seemed to be in her early 30s. She had a slim and tall figure with a fair complexion and exquisite facial features.She had burgundy-colored long hair with soft curls and was perfectly showing off her beauty with her light makeup. After questioning Leila, the woman turned to look at Javier with slight disdain in her eyes.“Are you a man or not? How can you still feign ignorance and remain calm after being scolded so badly?!”Javier shot a glance at the woman. ‘She’s quite pretty. Plus, she’s got a pretty hot body. Who is she?’Javier did not even want to explain that he had chosen to feign ignorance because he could not be bothered to deal with Leila. In fact, he did not think there was a need for him to explain himself. However, others did not have the same opinion, and the first person to think so was Leila. Leila had originally been in a bad mood, so she was exploding in flames of anger now that she had just been questioned
It was common for competing departments to sabotage each other, but it was unheard of for coworkers to foil each other.Despite that, Leila had made it clear. She was set to screw up Javier and the unit he was selling.Javier was indifferent when he heard what Leila said, not even bothered to offer her a sarcastic smile. After ignoring her, Javier took a helmet and went to the construction site with Mrs. Bailey.Javier introduced it to Mrs. Bailey like a considerate little brother as they looked at the site.“Many people think that it’s going to bubble from how the property market’s price falls, so they plan to wait but what they’ll get in return is usually the price rising again after a few days.“They’ll then rush to buy with the worry that the price will increase even more.“That’s why it’s the best time to purchase right now as the price is dropping…“Like the eighth floor that you’re looking at, I’d suggest you take a look at the seventh floor instead. It’s not that I want
Leila’s accusation was so loud that the coworkers in the office outside could hear her. This angered Sofia that her rage could barely diminish even when Leila was driven out of the company.Leila, who had packed her personal belongings, glared at Javier when she passed by. “Just you wait. I won’t make life easy for you…”Javier was nonchalant about Leila’s pre-departure threat. He had dared plot against Raiders, so what was a mere Leila to him?Flipping through the company information, Javier did his best to understand the overall operation of Maple Court. It was his daily routine now, as each second and minute of his free time was used to understand these as soon as he could.It was boring, but it was necessary in order to climb to a sufficient height within the shortest time possible.Sofia had been a little upset about Javier due to what happened with Leila since she was accused for no reason because of him. However, she was significantly less disgruntled when she saw how dilig
After carrying Sofia back home and settling her down, Javier washed, returned to his bedroom, and turned in for the night after going through some files.He had no idea how long he had been asleep when a shrill screech came from the outside suddenly and woke him up.He hurried out of his room only to see Sofia sitting on the couch in a daze as she scanned her surroundings anxiously. She seemed even more nervous when she saw Javier.“Y-You…Why am I here? What did you do to me!?”Javier was rendered speechless. “You got drunk, and I wanted to send you back but couldn’t get a cab, so I brought you to my place. As for what I did to you…If I had really done something, you wouldn’t not feel it?”Sofia blushed the moment Javier retorted with his question, but she looked much more relaxed after that. Obviously, she must not have felt different, and that alone was enough to prove that Javier had not done anything to her.After sitting around for a moment, she asked awkwardly, “Uh, do you
Every employee in the sales office was waiting for the VIP client to walk in except Javier, who was still doing what he usually did. He was either reading up or calling clients to follow up, seemingly uncaring of the matter.His coworker advised him, “Aren’t you silly? We’re all doing our best to receive the client!”Javier smiled nonchalantly, and his coworker gave up upon seeing he was unable to get to Javier.Since they had caught wind of the VIP client’s visit, everyone looked anxious when the office door opened. It was not just the salespeople outside. Even Sofia glanced out of her office occasionally, anticipating the client.Despite that, it was like the client had no idea of their sales office as there was no sight of them. From morning to afternoon, the office did not get any new visitors other than the regular clients they would have.Even with these regular clients, the employees were disinterested in serving them and looked sluggish. Some had even offered the clients t
The discount for 68 units was not something Sofia could decide as a sales manager. After all, they were not an authorized agent but a direct sales company under Maple Court. Once she talked to the company and confirmed the details, they did not have to sign the contract either, as it would be signed directly by the higher-ups in the company.The sales belonged to them, and there was no doubt about it. The achievement and commission were theirs as well.That night, Sofia wanted to treat everyone again happily, but no one wanted to go as they were not in a good mood. After all, they had waited the whole day fantasizing about hitting the jackpot only to find that dream crushed.Javier did not want to join either, but Sofia had forced him to, unrelenting even when he said no. She was getting more curious about Javier now. She had been under the impression that he was timid back when she had just come to the sales office, but she realized Javier was not meek after spending this period of
