Ethan arrived at the Nexus Air regional branch as early as possible. He had already arrived at the facility before most of the employees and just stayed in the car till the facility was opened.He had asked Ava to find and purchase a car that looked in such bad shape no one would think too much of it, but as expected, she had gone over and beyond.The car she got him was a Honda Civic. The car’s body was rough and old, but the engine had been replaced with a V8 engine, and the windshields were all replaced with bullet proof windshields.According to her, she was not going to be taking any risks. As long Alexander Cole and his brothers were still out there, she wasn't going to be comfortable leaving him alone.Since he wasn't going to let her send security with him, for the sake of keeping a low profile.The only compromise for her was that he would let her do whatever she wanted with the vehicle that he would use, so he didn't debate it.He sighed and left his car, walking straight

“Hey, do you know who the hell that dude is?” the receptionist called one of the security guards as Ethan walked by the lobby.“The one that just left the HR department. Do you know who he is?” Ethan had already told her that he was there looking for a job, and she still had plans to make his life a living hell, but she wanted to be sure that he wasn’t related to some manager.“I have no idea,” the guard shook his head.“But I think he had asked for Mr. Adewale when he came.”“What? The Chief HR Officer?” The lady was stunned.“Yeah,” the guard nodded. “He went in to talk to Emily before coming back out to call the guy. I think he said his name was Ethan.”The receptionist looked at Ethan with curiosity in her eyes.‘If he got the job through Mr. Adewale, then he must know someone big, right?’ she thought to herself, but she was still unsure.Like the previous day, Ethan had worn very simple and cheap looking clothes. A plain pair of trousers with a checkered brown shirt.He didn’t

Lydia walked over to Ethan slowly. “Ethan… how did you know to do that? I thought you had no prior experience?”He just shrugged lightly. “Since I was asked to apply, I’ve been reading about Operations Control Center work. Just the basic stuff.”She blinked at him. “That wasn’t basic.”“Well… I had read about a case once.” Ethan replied.“A plane crashed because two flights were on overlapping channels. They only realized later that switching to secondary communication could’ve prevented it.”He nodded toward the board. “So I tried it.”Lydia stared at him for a long moment before letting out a breathless laugh that was full of disbelief and admiration.“Ethan,” she whispered, “you just prevented a near-disaster.”He smiled modestly.“Just got lucky, I guess.”But the entire room knew it wasn’t luck.“Two saves in one day? Damn. He already deserves a raise,” some of the guys joked as Lydia led him out of the room.Ethan followed her in silence as she led him back to her main office

The man Ethan was with had been talking for about half an hour, complaining about everything that was wrong in the company, at least the parts that were wrong with the Engineering department.“They give us weekly quotas to meet up with. They make us do some crazy shit with terrible equipment.”“We have to risk our lives everyday, and now I am hearing that some managers have given their kids access to the ticketing site,” the man groaned, frustrated.Ethan raised a brow and the man explained.“I mean, it's all rumours, but we heard that apparently, some of the managers gave their kids access to sell tickets, and they keep the cash for themselves.”Ethan was visibly shocked by it, but the man quickly raised a finger in warning.“Like I said, it is nothing more than a rumor, it's probably not true,” he said and Ethan nodded, understanding his concern.The man sighed and went silent for a while, before continuing.“You know, I graduated top of my class. One of the best in my school’s his

Ethan stood still, his hand clenched into a fist as Jane toyed with the keys in her fingers. His jaw was tight, and he felt the pressure of his anger rising, bubbling like molten steel just beneath the surface. He inhaled slowly, forcing himself to stay composed.“Lady,” he said, his voice calm but cold, “if you know what’s good for you, you’ll give me my keys and walk away. Right now.”Jane laughed loudly.It was a sharp and cruel sound that grated against his nerves, but he kept trying to calm himself. Afterall, he wasn’t raised to manhandle women.“Give me my keys and walk away,” she repeated his words with a tone of mockery.“Tell me, Mister New Guy, what are you going to do if I don’t?” she taunted. “Are you going to cry to Mommy? Or maybe to the person who got you this job?” She arched a brow, her smirk widening. “I heard all about your little… failed attempt to get the job, before you got someone to pull the strings for you.”“I guess you are as dumb as you look,” she said
