The Ace at the Apex Chapter 616 These Troublemakers
The reality proved that Sofia had overthought. Javier and Tucker were both gentlemen at the table. No one forced her to drink.It was just that Javier drank quite a lot and was rather tipsy tonight since he did not have a high alcohol tolerance to begin with, and had no more medication in his pocket to help him now.Tucker was also tipsy and found a driver to drive him back.Sofia took the initiative to send Javier home since he had taken care of her so many times. She was worried about his safety. Fortunately for her, she had peace of mind as Javier was unlike her, who threw up everywhere when she was drunk.When she helped Javier to bed and was about to leave to fetch him some water, he hugged her. Sofia had a great figure, but she was on the petite side, so she was pinned against the bed directly, unable to fight against Javier’s powerful pull.In the next instant, Javier pushed his head forward and kissed her cherry lips fiercely. Sofia could not even reject him when he was pr
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 617 Everyone’s Slacking
On The first day of the program, Javier let the group slack. They could do whatever they wanted, and he did not care about them at all. Everyone thought that Javier had left out of anger and was quite happy about it, enjoying themselves even more as they fooled around.Lou was happy as well, but he had another scheme up his sleeve. There was no way he was accepting his fate with Javier overriding him when the latter started off under him. His lover, Leila, was repeatedly annoyed by Javier as well, so he was going to avenge her.The next morning, Lou slipped off to Tucker’s office when he saw that Javier was letting them slack again.It was a coincidence that Herschel came to the room when Lou was out to go to Tucker. Initially, no one paid attention to this young man who came in, but the entire room went silent when he declared his identity.The identity Herschel had announced was…“I’m Herschel Lord from Reivaj Group. May I know who Mr. Javier Kersey is?”No one spoke, having no

Tucker’s incessant questioning got Lou in the tongue. He was adamant that the account he witnessed was nothing like that. He was being framed! “Mr. Goldwater, please! It isn’t like that at all! I mean it! Please, m-maybe you can ask everyone around about what happened if you don’t believe me!”Tucker ignored him as the man in the room spoke. “Mr. Goldwater, Reivaj Group’s rep came to see us.”He described everything Herschel had done since his arrival in unsparingly vivid details, not skimping on minutia such as the price. It baffled Lou while Goldwater looked on, stunned.The others in the crowd voiced their assent as soon as the man finished, vouching for how strongly Javier had voiced his rejection. “Mr. Kersey is an exceptionally talented person, and there’s more proof to it than how much money Reivaj Group is willing to shell out for him. Heck, we realize that since listening to his immaculate theories!”“Exactly! We love hearing his talks, don’t we, folks? It’s so profound an
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 619 I’m Scared
“I’m going home. See you tomorrow.” Javier turned around with a nod and a wave and left. He never wanted to be invited upstairs. He was only with her till her door because the lights in the neighborhood were dark, and he worried for her safety.Sofia gawked at his retreating figure vanishing into the distance, nonplussed. She had been in the middle of an internal debate about what to do, yet this fellow closed it by turning away and bidding farewell.Honestly? She was a little bummed out. She really saw something that was not there, huh?While Sofia puzzled over her insignificant speculations, Lou was hiding in the shadow at the far end of the corridor. He was livid and clenched his jaw, his teeth grinding against themselves.He had given today’s incident a whole day’s thought.He was sure that Sofia had orchestrated it. How else could it be explained why Javier, a complete nobody with no close ties or connections within the office, managed to garner so much support?It must have

Sofia’s cheeks turned hot pink as soon as she finished. She realized her wording could cause quite a misunderstanding…“I mean, I’m literally scared. Literally!” she hurriedly added. “That’s what I meant when I asked you not to leave me tonight. I don’t, um, I don’t mean that as, uh, an invitation to sex.”The more she tried to clarify herself, the more flushed her cheeks were. She was inching closer and closer to outright inability to explain herself.Luckily for her, Javier understood. “You’re worried that Lou’s gonna come back and continue his vile, vindictive assault, aren’t you? So you want me to stay and keep an eye out for you. Doesn’t mean it as a ploy to seduce me for sex. That what you’re saying?”Sofia bobbed her head, her blushing cheeks rattling with the movement. “R-Right! That’s exactly what I was thinking!”Javier hummed. As he considered the young woman retreating away from his arms, he wondered aloud, “And you’re not worried that I might coerce you into it while
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 621 And Whose Problem is That?
Javier himself had no idea he was going to spring so far to the top that he would land on his cushy position. On the surface, the fact that a newbie had catapulted to such a role defied any logic and reason, but there were many factors that made it understandable.For starters, Tucker needed a loyalist. There was also the fact that Reivaj Group had spent an obscene amount of money in an attempt to poach Javier. Then, there was Javier’s exceptional abilities and loyalty, his cordial relationship with the sales managers, and much more. All these factors seemed to justify why he should be where he was.It did not mean it was any less of a surprise to the rest of the company. Even Sofia was shocked. Now that she was in Javier’s office, she was staring at him in confusion. “I remember walking into the sales department and telling you people that if any one of you ever became my boss, I’d congratulate them for real. But becoming my boss so soon? That’s just too fast, isn’t it?”She found
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 622 I Don’t Fight for Trash
Tucker turned to look at Javier expectantly. “You’re a smart man, aren’t you? I’m sure you already get what I mean.”Javier nodded. Of course he did. Tucker was telling him to muster his courage and take up the challenge, make a grand work of it to the best of his abilities, and earn praise through it. He was reassuring Javier not to be scared of the 60% mark their higher-ups wanted.Tucker was right about one thing. Javier was not scared at all. In fact, he was quite pumped up for the task. Getting the sales figure to 60% within three months in the Northgard region? It might be a big boss fight to everyone else, but to Javier? Piece of cake!“Don’t you worry, Mr. Goldwater. I’ll come up with something.”With information supplied by the elite Kersey family, Javier had more than enough reasons to believe he could do what he was supposed to do.Tucker admired the young man’s boldness and was vocal about it. Still, to himself, he was more than ready to lean on his Plan B. After Javie
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 623 I Don’t Need Anything Else
Javier had had s*x with plenty of women, but a drunk one? There was no precedent. He had always believed that the best climaxes were reached only when people had s*x in sobriety.Of course, that was not his argument against scr*wing Sofia today. For her, the biggest objection was her state. She was a drunken, depressed mess, and he would not want to take advantage, gratify himself, and then leave her back where she was. Sofia might regret this once she was sober.More importantly than how regretful the woman would feel, though, was the woman’s opinion on relationships. She was faithful to a fault. Having s*x with her would likely motivate her to pursue marriage with him, and that was not what Javier would want.In this case, it would be better to wait until Sofia woke up and was sober.Finding consolation to be a waste of time, Javier karate-chopped Sofia on the neck. She blacked out, and he carried her to her bedroom, laid her down, and returned to the living room. He even had the

The Ace at the Apex Chapter 875 What Is This Four-Legged B*tch Trying to Do?
As Bernadetta launched a barrage of kicks against the restaurant door, Mrs. Greene summoned 120% of her strength, holding the fort. The older woman had made a living terrorizing others with absurd accusations and downright unreasonable demands, but this time, she had met her match. Bernadetta James put the “man” in the word “woman”—in that she resorted to violence as soon as things escalated. In the end, it took both Mrs. Greene’s apology and a deal to provide Javier and Bernadetta with three days’ meals, all free of charge, to make the young woman stop. Then—“because I actually have a weakness against people sincerely appealing to my better angels,” according to Bernadetta—she amended the peace offer, changing the three days’ free meals to…a week’s worth. Back in the inn, Javier expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Bernadetta for rescuing him. “I can’t thank you enough for standing by my side when I needed it the most, Bern. But I can thank you a bit more if you refrain from using t

Mrs. Greene opened her flap and unlocked the floodgate, the spit during her tirade so profusive that she could water an old lady’s lawn. “It’s him, officers! It’s all him! He did this to his own camera just to remove himself as a suspect, but we know better than that! He’s the guy who stole my goddamn lingerie!”She turned and trained her finger on Javier. “You vile, disgusting, degenerate piece of sh*t! Ptooey!”‘Back at you! I'd rather spend the night with my left hand than with you!’ By this point in the morning, Bernadetta had arrived at work. Her heels clicked onto the floor as she sauntered toward the commotion. As soon as she heard what had transpired, she laughed, looking clearly amused. She trained her perfectly manicured finger on Javier and piled on. “Oh, it was him. I can testify to that! He stole Mrs. Greene’s bra because he is…the Lingerie Phantom Thief! By day, he is Javier Kersey. At night, he is Jo Ker, the Bra Stealer!” Javier threw his arms up in exasperation

Javier shook his head. By the time his vision was back to normal, the dog was gone. It had escaped! “What kind of hell spawned this little sh*t?!” Javier wondered to himself aloud. “Was this really an effect of the world changing? Is this an example of mutation because of the Storm? Or is there something else at play?”Baffled and unsure what to think, Javier returned to the dorm and told the residents to open the door. Inside, he found Florence huddling the frightened kids closely. She was white from fear, and yet in the presence of vulnerable kids, she had assumed the role of the protector without a second thought. “Hush, it’s alright! It was fake. Someone pulled a terrible prank and put on this white sheet and…” Javier made up a fib to explain the haunting away exactly because the truth could land him in a mental institution. No one would believe him—and for good reason too!Javier drove Florence back to the Yuzuian restaurant, where the latter’s electric scooter was. While
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 872 Honey, I’m Not Crazy, This Dog Is Magical!
A resentful wail—interspersed only by sobs that sounded more like someone was being strangled—was echoing in the middle of the night while Javier and Florence could not see even a single soul out there? Animated by the power of “hell, naw!”, Florence dove into Javier’s arms for protection. Her hands were clasped firmly on either side of her head, hoping to block out the ghastly demand in her ears. Her eyes were squeezed so tightly shut that even a crowbar could not pry them open.Javier himself was just as terrified. He would have felt better if he could see the source of the voice rather than just hear a woman sobbing about getting her head back. At least he would know what he was up against! But just hearing it without any visuals at all?! Nooooope!Then, Florence hugged him in a “help-me!” sort of way. She was soft and supple—damn, that sexy figure in combination with her silky-smooth skin sure was welcoming. She was warm, and damn did she smell good! Nothing competed with fea

The dog barked in protest as it pointed its paw at Javier with the intensity of a mob before executing a monarch. The flames in its eyes were so bright that they could incinerate Javier into ashes in milliseconds. In the end, though, all that protest was for naught. Constance tied it up in the parking garage, while Javier watched in glee. Ah, sweet, sweet revenge! The stupid dog had thought it could set him up, had it? That would teach it!The look the Pomeranian shot him almost felt like a threat: ‘Just you f*cking wait, hooman!’‘Wait for what? How much can a stupid b*tch like you do to me?’ Javier scoffed in his mind. Now that the four-legged pest was gone, Javier turned back to Constance and talked about the new orphanage. As it turned out, despite the old woman’s sentiments for the building she had founded, she was a lot less obstinate and unreasonable as she might appear. “I mean, I don’t object to it completely. I know the new place is gonna be better, but…” She faltered a

Florence called half an hour later to tell him where they’d be having dinner. After leaving the inn in Bernadetta’s care, he hurried to the venue. Florence had picked a newly-opened Yuzuian restaurant. Javier had never liked Yuzuian restaurants, but since Florence had invited him, courtesy stopped him from asking the woman to change their meeting venue. He found Florence quickly enough and sat across from her. They placed their orders, and Javier began his performance: He started sighing and doing his best to look forlorn. It intrigued Florence enough to ask what was wrong, and Javier told her about his unfortunate beef with Constance that day.“It’s so unfair, man! Why would I bully a dog for no reason?” he moaned. “I’m sure Aunt Constance misunderstood. You’re a knightly, heroic, kind man! How could someone like you possibly get off on hurting a dog? I’m sure Aunt Constance was just too worried about the dog’s welfare to think things through. She didn’t mean it. I can vouch for

Herschel was dressed quite sharply today. It was the full ensemble—black leather shoes, black slacks, a white collar, and last but not least, the good old oil-slicked hair. The typical look of a high-ranking office worker, just as Javier had requested. Ordering him to get in his car, Javier asked, “You brought all the stuff I told you to?”“Yo, I would never forget the stuff my boss told me to bring. I’ve got all the preparations down pat. You can check ‘em if you don’t trust me,” Herschel replied. He fished an ID and some documents out of his leather bag. “See? All the documentation a journalist in the most important room of a news agency would have.”After a round-check and some instructions, Javier sent Herschel on his way to complete his mission. The man was strangely reluctant, though. “Boss, you told me you decided to work in that inn, right? Does that mean, you know, that you’re gonna call me ‘boss’ while you’re there?”Javier had almost forgotten he had mentioned this. It

Javier’s suspicion turned to Constance Hellman’s white Pomeranian. He turned to the director’s office and met the dog’s eyes. With its paws on the windowsill, it hoisted itself up to look out of the window. Seeing the dog cracking a lopsided grin and baring its fangs—beaming as smugly as a teacher’s pet who had managed to subdue everyone through the power of being the boss’s favorite—made it look both amusing and chilling. It would have been had the dog not caught Javier’s gaze, suddenly dropped the smile, and put on a face that seemed to be saying, ‘I’m just your average dog! Nothing to see here!’And then it feigned—yes, feigned—a yawn as its one last measure to cover up the fact that it had been laughing smugly to itself. ‘What. The. Actual. F*ck?!’ Javier thundered in his mind. ‘B*tch’s a natural actress! What’s it doing here instead of being interviewed on a talk show after becoming viral on TikTok?’In combination with Russell’s report, the incident inside the director’s of
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 867 This Is One Dramatic Dog
As Javier was befuddled, Constance rushed in from outside and picked up the white Pomeranian gingerly to carefully check its injured leg.“Oh, baby, what’s the matter? Did you hurt your leg?”The white Pomeranian whined in pain and began twitching upon hearing Constance’s concerned question. This upset Constance so much that she admonished him sternly. “Mr. Kersey, I thought that you were a loving person, but I can’t help doubting your motive now.“I’m skeptical about you taking good care of the kids here when you’d even hit a cute dog!”Javier felt extremely offended. When had he hit the dog? He hurriedly explained, “Madam Hellman, I didn’t do anything!”Constance asked angrily, “You didn’t do anything? Why would it suddenly limp now and whine so pathetically? Why did it hurry over to me? Give me a reasonable explanation!”Javier was in distress as well. “How would I know? It was fine when I was carrying it just now, but it wanted to get down on the floor, so I carefully placed
