The Worthy Heir's Charisma

Chapter 10; Returning To The Company

Around 6:00 am, the morning sunlight shone right through the window inside the master bedroom. Alex could be seen sleeping soundly while the relaxing breeze caressed his face.

Moments after Alex woke up, he didn't immediately sit up, as he was looking blankly at the ceiling. 

"I'm the Crown family heir...." Alex mumbled gibberish. He scanned his eyes around this mesmerizing room with plenty of space.

Yesterday he was too tired to examine the room, but now he could see that he was sleeping in a king-sized bed; the interior and its decor were superb, and it gave off a cozy atmosphere that would make one involuntarily fall asleep! It was welcoming and comforting to sleep, and there wasn't even a speck of dust. The curtains were laced with golden threads. 

Alex had a complicated expression. Usually, he would sleep in a bed that was as hard as tree bark or concrete; it was just sad.... Presently, he was feeling indignant, at how the rich people would sleep in a place like this every day!

In any case, he still has to prepare because heading back to work was a top priority for him, although he wasn't sure if he would still be accepted.

While Alex was starting to relax and was satisfied...

Just then, someone suddenly barged into the room without warning; this greatly startled Alex, who had just woken up. He wore a stoic expression plastered on his face as he spoke. "What is it?"

"Young Master Alex, please get yourself dressed for breakfast." A young man wearing butler clothes similar to Alfred's outfit could be seen on the door. He was around Alex's age. 

Seeing Alex nod and be about to head out, the assistant butler stole a glance at Alex, sizing him up while he lifted the corner of his lips as he sneered.

'This loser came back unexpectedly, giving me more extra work. This is pissing me off!' The apprentice butler cursed at Alex in his mind. At this moment....

"Huh?" The assistant butler noticed Alex stopping right beside him.

"Next time... Don't forget to knock; I'll let you go this time, but there won't be a following," Alex said as he sensed the hostility coming from this assistant butler.

In the split second that followed, the assistant butler felt his palm go cold as he gulped hard.

'Didn't the intelligence report that he's a loser?.... No way, and why am I trembling? Did I just get scared by that loser?' The assistant butler mumbled to himself. 

Meanwhile, Alex was walking through the large hallway while frowning.

"Something was off with that butler...." Alex spoke under his breath. Usually butlers have a ton of experience when it comes to serving, and although that butler managed to hide his disgust toward him quite well, unfortunately for him, Alex detected it. 

Soon, Alex will arrive in the dining room. His father, Charles Crown, was at the table while looking at the video of his son being pinned down on the ground; no one knows what he was currently thinking. Beside him was Alfred Wadsworth, serving him a morning meal.

Finally, Charles Crown put his phone down as he saw Alex come in.

"What's with the gloomy face, son?" Charles Crown smiled gently.

"I have to leave early, father."

"I see..." A flash of disappointment appeared on Charles Crown's countenance, but he quickly hid it.

Soon, Alex was outside the mansion when suddenly he heard his name being called, and to his surprise, it was the head butler, Alfred! He was somewhat tired, as his forehead was covered in perspiration. It could be imagined that he was rushing here. Also, he was getting old.

"Young master Alex, wait for a moment...." The head butler, Alex, wiped his sweat off and took something from his chest pocket and showed it to Alex, who had a look of intense curiosity on his face.

"This is a gift from your father." 

Alex looked down, and he could see on head butler Alfred's palm two cards: one was made of gold, while the other was completely charcoal in color.

"Um... What are those for?" Alex said skeptically. 

What he didn't know was that these two credit cards would have a value similar to the Dubai gold and diamond engraved credit card in that only the royalty would have access to it, and on top of that, there were only two hundred of them. It would be easy to imagine how valuable these credit cards are!

Every celebrity and powerful individual around the world would die to have that in their hands!

"Just take it, young master. If you don't accept it, that would be an insult to me." The head butler, Alfred, forced the two cards into Alex's hands.

Alex forced out a smile as he heard Alfred's words, especially seeing how serious he was.

The head butler, Alfred, paused before continuing. "By the way, young master, are you sure you don't want me to give you a ride?"

As the housekeeper and also the head butler of the Crown family. He wanted to serve the young master to the utmost of his ability!

Of course, he would want to send the young master to whatever place he wanted in the most extravagant car!

"N-No, I can take care of myself." Alex hastily said.

The thought of Alfred bringing those terrifying-looking bodyguards following him around would be unnerving!

"Young master at least take a car with you."

"..." Alex scratched his cheeks.

Just then he found a Rolls Royce parked in front of the door, and since he wanted to play it low-key, he asked what the cheapest car in the house was.

Alex arrived at the company in a Mercedes-Benz. Everyone looked at him when he got out of the car. His co-workers were dumbfounded! Since when did Alex have a car? And a luxurious car at that? Even their office manager didn't have such a vehicle!

On the other hand, Alex pretended that he didn’t know, though he knew he was a joke now.

When he arrived at the office, he saw the co-worker who had paid his bail the night before. He wanted to thank him, but this co-worker pretended not to see him. They were making him an outcast in the company. 

Alex let out a sigh with a heavy heart. At this time, Alex decided to bite the bullet and grab the hand of a female co-worker.

"Hey, can we talk?" Alex just wanted to find out the situation and if he was being fired!

However, what Alex's female co-worker suggested was that he should stay away from the prying eyes of everyone until the rumors about him confronting the CEO died down.

 

Unfortunately, things tend to go high wire, and what one would fear would eventually come!

"Alex!"
