"Mr. Miller, I'm sorry to keep you waiting," Mr. Ruben lowered his head and bowed, and said with a smile.

Mr. Miller?

Why did Mr. Ruben call James that way? And why was he so respectful to him? What was going on?

Not only was Lucas shocked, but Henry was also taken aback.

"Mr. Ruben," James snorted and said, "Looks like these people are doubting my identity. In this case, I think you'll have to explain it."

"Who dares to doubt you?" Mr. Ruben put on a solemn face and announced, I'm telling you, from now on, Mr. James Miller is the new boss of Learn intelligence."

"Mr. Ruben, are you kidding me?" Lucas sneered as he pointed at James beside the motorcycle. He is just an employee who used to work in our company but was fired. Besides, he's living off his wife. How could he be our boss?"

At first, Mr. Ruben did not believe it himself, let alone Lucas.

However, Leo had seriously informed him over the phone that James was the heir of Miller's organization, and now he was also the boss of Learn intelligence.

But Mr. Ruben was not allowed to leak it out to others, so he had to keep it secret for now.

As a businessman, Mr. Ruben knows that Leo was the CEO of Miller's organization and that the Miller family was a force that held power and influence worldwide.

As it was Leo who told him about James' identity, Mr. Ruben dared not have any doubts.

"Mr. Ruben, he said that I was living off my wife. Do you believe him?" James smiled instead of being angry, saying in a relaxed tone.

He felt that Lucas was an idiot.

Even at this point, Lucas still refused to believe it.

James thought that perhaps everyone had been imprinted too deeply by his image of a loser who only knows how to live off Ava.

However, he would change himself from now on and build up an image of a powerful man.

Slap!

Mr. Ruben raised his hand and slapped Luca's shiny bald head, leaving a mark of his five fingers on it.

"Lucas, how dare you slander our new boss! Who do you think you are? Apologize to him! Now!"

Thinking back to how Lucas had given him some valuable paintings before, Mr. Ruben wanted him to stay.

His slap finally made Lucas come back to reality. He finally understood.

So James was Indeed his new boss.

But James did not give him any chance before he could plead for mercy.

"Just apologize?" James said coldly, "fire him!"

The word 'fire' struck Lucas heavily. He was dumbfounded. He was quite arrogant at the motel just now, wasn't he?

But now, he had become so depressed like a homeless man!

"Now, I am your boss. If I tell you to get lost. You'll have to scram!" James laughed to himself.

Since his new boss had given the order, Mr. Ruben had no intention to help Lucas stay.

"Lucas, did you hear that? Mr. Miller said you are fired. Now leave!"

"Mr. Miller, let's talk in the office. This way, please!" Mr. Ruben said to James with a smile.

"Ja... Mr. Miller!" Just as James was about to step in, Lucas knelt and hugged his legs like a dog begging for food. "I'm sorry! It's all my fault. I was so stupid that I didn't know who you are. But... We have worked together before as colleagues. Please forgive me on account of that!"

James stopped in his tracks, lowered his eyes, and said indifferently, "Lucas, do you know why I can fire you today? Because I'm richer and more powerful than you!"

What he said struck Lucas again. A chill passed through his body and the cold statement pierced Lucas's heart.

In the office building, James called a staff meeting urgently. In addition to raising everyone's salaries and benefits, he announced a major piece of news.

"From today onwards, Henry will be the general manager of our company."

Upon hearing that, everyone immediately shifted their gaze towards Henry.

Even Henry himself was stunned.

"Alright, what happened before is all over." James clapped his hands and said in a loud voice, "As long as you work hard, the senior managers in the company and myself will assure your benefits."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd cheered.

In the general's managers office.

"James, what... What exactly Is going on? How come you have become the new boss here?" Henry looked at James excitedly and worriedly. "And, you made me the general manager, but I don't think I can do it."

"Buddy," James stood up from the sofa, held his shoulder, and said without taking his eyes off him, "I can't answer your first question for now. But you must believe in yourself. You can do the job."

"I... I'm afraid that I'll let you down if I can't do it well," Henry said with a frown.

"I'm sure you can." James patted his shoulder even more confidently and said, "Besides, I'm here backing you up! There's nothing you need to worry about!"

"Forget about Aria. She is just a material girl. Forget all the terrible memories in the past. Start afresh from now on, and move one step at a time. Score a big point and don't look back!"

"You'll have everything, the house, the car, the money, and the woman."

There was something that Henry had to admit. From the moment James appointed him as the general manager, the most beautiful employee from the design department fixed her gaze on him and stared for a long time.

James knew how capable Henry was ever since they worked here previously. Henry was mature and steady, and he had remarkable professionalism and abilities.

If the bastard Lucas had not deliberately picked on Henry, he wouldn't have been fired.

Furthermore, James wanted to promote his best friend.

Soon after James stepped out of Learn intelligence, a black Bentley stopped inside his motorcycle.

Rolling down the window, Leo stuck out his head with a smile. "Mr. Miller please get in."

Seeing him, James rolled his eyes unhappily.

He did not expect that Leo would doubt his actions.

And he could not believe Leo had been secretly watching him.

"Leo stopped his motorcycle and raised his eyebrows. "You underestimated me. Dealing with Lucas is a piece of cake for me. How can I not be able to do it?"

"Mr. Miller, what are you talking about?" Seeing that James was not willing to get into the car, James had no choice but to get out and say, "I was just protecting you, Mr. Miller. Moreover, you have said that you won't reveal your identity to the public for now, so I have to be cautious, right?"

"You old fox, you have a sharp tongue." James grinned and said, "if I say something, you'll have a thousand reasons to explain yourself."

Leo was more worried that James would refuse to return home if he was unhappy. It was only after Leo, had expanded much effort, that James finally agreed to come back and inherit the family business. Leo would not let him leave again.

If that was the case, it would be difficult for Leo to finish his tasks.

"Mr. Miller, how about you have dinner with Sir Miller at the vanilla bistro in two days?" Leo brought it up carefully.

"I..." Before James could refuse, Leo interrupted him guilefully.

"I know you don't want to go home for the time being, but you can have dinner with him, right?"

Indeed, after leaving home for so long, James wanted to know how his father was doing.

"Alright." James finally relented and nodded.

"That's great!" Leo was overjoyed. He patted James' shoulder excitedly and said, "Mr. Miller, I'll inform sir Miller right away. Um, I'll pick you up that day personally, okay?"

"No need! I'll go by myself." Seeing Leo's smug face, James looked at him in disdain. He removed Leo's hand from his shoulder and said, "Didn't I tell you that I want to keep a low profile?"

"Oh, sure, as you said, keep a low profile."

However, at this moment, a shrill female voice came from behind.

"James, it's you." Bella Bailey, a long-haired woman, stuck her head out from her red sports car.

However, when she caught sight of the person beside James, Bella was shocked.
