“Are you going to listen to us or are you going to keep ignoring us like we do not exist?!" One of the protesters yelled in anger. At the same time, Glady was asking Ethan what he planned to do with the protesters. Ethan glanced at them; they couldn't tell if he was happy or angry. He just watched them for a while. They used the opportunity to yell their concerns. After a while, Ethan lifted his left hand and the whole place became silent. " You all are talking; no one is talking. Where is the leader of the protest?” He inquired. They frowned and looked at each other. No one stepped out. They began to discuss within themselves, pointing at a particular man with big eyes and a bald head. Finally, the man with a bald head stepped forward. “There is no leader, but I would speak for the people." Ethan marked him. “Then speak. What is the aim of this protest?" “We want our salaries too. Delta Logistics has grown and gotten back into the market; we want our salaries that you have be

This statement gave the protesters courage again. Ethan frowned, seeing that they were really taking this as their rights. He typed something on his phone and dipped his phone right back into his pocket. The day he came, he had asked Williams to draft out the number of employees he met, the state of every piece of equipment and machine, the amount he had invested into the company, and many other important details.“The people I worked with when I came in here are the people I intend to work with until I am interested in having new employees.” The statement didn't sit well with the protesters. “But we were here before!" “And now you're somewhere else. And I don't wish to have other companies' employees at my company." Ethan replied.“Who said we want to continue working at Delta Logistics?" The bald man sneered, “We just want our salaries, and we would leave." “Yes! Yes! Pay up our salaries!" The scream was getting louder and louder. They were protesting during the time of their

She? Ethan raised a brow. The one who had been stealing the company's machine parts was a woman? His eyes scanned the protesters. Jack didn't waste time; he pointed at a woman in the crowd. Seeing their boss pointing at the woman with shoulder-length brown hair, a flat nose, and wide lips, they made their way to her and pulled her out of the crowd roughly. " Hey!” She yelled, struggling to get out of their grip. She was a woman in her fifties. Ethan first sighed in relief that the person was not part of the people he had worked with the first day because he had come to love them all. Seeing that the person who had stolen Delta Logistics' machine parts was one of the protesters, he wasn't going to hold back. The woman was pushed to the podium. She clicked her tongue in a rude manner before properly arranging her shirt. She snorted,“Have you guys lost it? Do you know I have sons your age at home?" Ethan watched her with an unimpressed look in his eyes. He had actually thought i

Those whose names were called and three others whom the woman didn't remember to mention all tried to run away. But the gate was blocked by the bikes of the thugs. It dawned on them that they'd been trapped. They had come to get their salaries, but instead, they'd been exposed. The other protesters that had come with them couldn't believe it. These were the people that had formed the protest group.The bald man whose name was Dan was the first to try to run past the thugs, but he was caught and thrown towards the crowd. The other protesters felt they'd been used. They had been following these sets of people because they claimed that with their influence, they could get their salaries back. It all started with the strike, which was Mrs Han’s idea. They all went through with it, thinking the manager or the general manager would call them back, but no one did. Not only did Mrs Han and the rest of them go behind their backs to secure jobs; Dan had called yesterday and said he spoke t

Not long after the thugs drove over ninety people out of the company's premises, the police arrived. Ethan pointed at the nine employees who had stolen from Delta Logistics. They were arrested. Now, it was time for their business meeting. Ethan walked into the large conference room on the third floor with Mirabel behind him. She still didn't know what she was doing here, but she assumed Ethan was going to let her work here since he asked her to come along with him. When Ethan stepped in, the twenty-two employees stood up to welcome him. Their eyes glowed with admiration for Ethan. He was able to handle the protest for the second time. They all thought that Ethan did the right thing by not paying the protesters their salaries. The company was crumbling, and they all ran away. Now that they saw that the company was getting back up, they wanted to eat their cake and have it. As for Ethan, that wasn't the case. He was given a broken company with twenty-two faithful employees; if he

" That's enough now, please. We are in this together to build Delta Logistics again. You cannot worship me like this.” Ethan waved his hand at them to stop. Although Jack and his brothers stopped, Jack still blabbered, “I'll worship you, boss. You are my answered prayers!" The employees around wiped their tears-stained cheeks as they continued to laugh. Even Mirabel couldn't hold back her tears. She had a wide smile on her face as tears rolled down her cheeks. She knew what it was to be helped like that. Ethan didn't look at their background; he chose them. Unlike Gracious Life Restaurant, which wouldn't accept just anyone. With their tight rules, they still had so many bad workers in the restaurant, yet the manager turned a blind eye to all their nonsense. But Ethan was giving even thugs an opportunity because he saw them fit. Mirabel wiped her tears the moment she heard Ethan speak up again. He allocated positions to the people he thought were capable until he was done. Then he

The day ended in a twinkle of an eye. Ethan dropped Mirabel off at her home before heading home himself. He bought takeout for himself and Harrison on his way home. His day at Delta Logistics had been so busy that if Mirabel had not brought something for him to eat, he wouldn't have had lunch. He didn't expect his employees who had just gotten positions to really come with their well-detailed reports. And because he wanted to know how the company was doing, he had to read it all. Every report he picked gave him a headache. Human resources stated that they needed to hire at least 100 workers in two days. The operational department stated that they needed more hands in overseeing deliveries. Customer service’s report detailed the valid complaints of the customers. The marketing department stated the need for advertisement of their company for announcements and many other issues. The only department that didn't send in their report was the security department. Mr. Gabriel had only c

“Are you fucking laughing at me?" Harrison wanted to smack Ethan on the head, but he couldn't. He turned red in anger as he pointed at Ethan,“Just you wait. Wait until someone does the same thing to you!" Ethan didn't care. He laughed at Harrison until his heart was content. Harrison didn't find it funny. He was seriously explaining his predicament to Ethan; he expected the man to come up with a solution. He was always the one who had the right solution to give.In college, there were three brothers. Ethan was the smart one, Diego was the fighter, and he was the one bringing peace and unity amongst the brothers. Well, that's what he thinks he does. Now, Diego had long gone into the military and was out of reach. But they believed that their bond was still alive. As for Ethan and Harrison, they remained in touch and in the same area. Although Ethan was in the Northwest of City D and Harrison was in the West, it wasn't completely far from each other. Harrison didn't stop pouring out

The words that came out of Ethan's mouth made Harrison red in anger. He pointed his beer at Ethan as he shot up from his seat, “What nonsense are you spouting? My family knows that I like women. What do you mean they think I am gay?" The words rose from the depth of Harrison's heart. “How would they know you like women? You have always been with men; even your dog is a male. You have never brought a woman home, but you have brought two men at different times to your home." Smoke began to come out of Harrison's ear. He wanted to jump at Ethan and punch him. The only two guys he had brought home were Diego and Ethan, himself. He couldn't believe that Ethan would use that against him. He had only done that because he valued the friendship he had with the two guys. “If you do not want them thinking you are gay, do something that would make them surrender." Harrison paused. His face, which was as black as charcoal, began to rearrange. He sat back down on the couch and said,“Now you'

Dressed in a sky blue long-sleeved shirt and well-ironed black trousers, Ethan hurriedly walked into the meeting room with Henry and Mirabel running behind him. He had an emotionless expression on his face as he walked up to his seat and sat down. Everyone was already here, even with their busy and tight schedule, yet he made them wait. All this happened because of that shithead Harrison. After hearing the news of his sister's successful surgery, Harrison refused to allow Ethan to go with just one beer. “This calls for celebration!" He exclaimed. And the two drank to stupor. He blamed Harrison for bringing so many beers when he knew very well that he had a low tolerance for alcohol. What made Harrison the happiest was when he got the news that he had left Wendy's company. Harrison exclaimed that it was the best night of his life because of all the good news he had heard. He made Ethan drink so much that waking up this morning had been so difficult. Thanks to Mirabel, who kept ca
