Chapter 68
Chapter 68Charlie’s calm warning stunned the room. Everyone turned to look at each other, wide-eyed.Duke stared at Charlie without words, wondering what had come over him. The man himself let out a chuckle at first, amused by Charlie’s statement. However, his face instantly changed. His face twisted, a dark particle visible in his eyes. “Bastard! How dare you talk back to me?” He grumbled, voice filled with venom. “Alright, let’s see what you can do after I’m done dealing with you.”Hearing that, Duke’s heart skipped, fear immediately gripping him. He rushed forward to beg the man on Charlie’s behalf, but the latter held him and slowly pulled him back, shaking his head slowly.“What do you think you are trying to do?” Charlie asked, his face contorted with a frown. “Beg him? Come on. Let him be. Let’s see what the simp is capable of doing.”His expression was calm, with one hand casually tucked into his pocket as he spoke. Boom!The astonishment in the room grew even louder.Char
Recap II
Chapter 60Just a minute after Charlie left, Jake walked out of the restroom, exhaling in relief.He adjusted his shirt, eyes scanning the place as he stepped forward. “Where's he?" Jake asked, looking around to see if he could find Charlie. The waitress turned, facing him. “Sir Charlie? He just left a few minutes ago. He received a call—an urgent one—and he had to rush away.”Jake frowned but before he could say anything—“But…” the waitress reached out to the table, grabbing the bag of packaged food that Charlie had instructed her to give to Jake. "Here. He instructed me to give this to you.” Jake didn't hesitate.He took it sharply, but gently, and started glancing inside, taking note of the contents. His eyes widened. "You mean he bought all of this just for me?" He asked, his mouth slightly open. The waitress nodded, confirming. “Yes. And here too." She pulled out the five crisp bills that Charlie had also given her. Subtracting one, she handed the remaining four to Jake.
Recap I
Chapter 57A few minutes later, Charlie stepped out of the cab that had carried them. Following immediately was Jake from the other door, his eyes sharp as they scanned around the place, slightly nodding in admiration.Charlie dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out a crisp $100 bill, handing it to the driver. “Here you go. The fare." The driver, after taking the money, glanced down, his eyes rotating as if they were searching for something, but suddenly Charlie spoke up, his voice calm and his expression unreadable. “Is it the change?" He asked, but before the driver could nod and reply, he simply added, waving his hand in dismissal. “Don't worry, just keep it to yourself." The driver's mouth fell open and his jaw dropped to the ground. “I should keep the change? $60? That's huge! Thank you so much, Sir. God bless you." However, as he was thanking, Charlie had already started walking toward the restaurant building, hurling the bag of his purchased gadgets with one hand. Jake
Chapter 67
Chapter 67“Do you have any appointment with him?” She added.Charlie shook his head. “No, I don’t.”The receptionist scanned him from his head down to his toes, slightly getting irritated. “I’m sorry but you can’t see him,” she responded, her voice carrying finality.“Why?”“That’s because the manager has nothing to do with someone like you.” Her voice was laced with disgust. “He’s a business-minded person so what possible business plan do you want to discuss with him?” Slowly, she pointed toward the exit door as if giving him a piece of advice. “I’ll urge you to kindly use the exit door before security guards do so.”Charlie’s face contorted into a tight frown instantly. Without warning, he slammed his hand on the desk. “I said I want to see the manager and you are asking me to leave?”His nose flared up with anger, fists clenched. “Where the hell is that bastard? I want to see him. Call him here. Now!” He barked out.The receptionist startled, body vibrating at the sudden outburst
Chapter 66
Chapter 66Duke raised an eyebrow, clearly not getting what Charlie was saying. “What do you mean? That you’re going inside so the manager can give you back your salary? How?”To him, if the manager should be working in a place like this then he must really be powerful. How then does Charlie intend to get back his salary?He blinked, the whole thing seeming strange to him. “You can’t be serious, are you?” He asked.Charlie nodded firmly. “No, I’m not joking. I’m serious.”His jaw clenched as he started to explain. “I worked hard for that money and I can’t let it go just like that. I won’t let him have it to himself. We deserve to be paid for the work we did.”His voice turned cold. “I will get all the money today and if he dares to act stubborn and not comply then I will be left with no other option but to make him regret it.”There was something dark in his eyes as he said that.Duke saw it and he just looked fixedly. There was something totally different in Charlie.The way he just
Chapter 65
Chapter 65 Before she could approach her father, Miller raised his hand, stopping her. “Stop right there!” He warned, his eyes blazing with rage. “What’s all this doing in this house? Occupying space?”“But Dad, that’s one of my items. Just bought it yesterday and you’ve destroyed it,” June burst out, her eyes wet with tears. She knew how much it cost her to get that. And now it has been destroyed in just a blink of an eye. “Why do you have to be doing this to me? Why, Dad?” She sobbed, tears rolling down her cheeks. “Am I your daughter? Why don’t you let me chase my career in peace? Why don’t you allow me to do what I love doing? Why keep interfering?”“Career, you say?” Miller scoffed. “What kind of career is it being a TikToker or whatever you call it? Since you started it, for three to four years or so, what tangible result have you gotten? What can you hold onto? Or is it sitting down or standing up making hell of noises in the house all in the name of going live? What else do
