After seeing Alex, Bruce's eyes went red, and he wanted nothing more than to rip Alex apart! There was no need for reason. It was unnecessary; he hated Alex's face.
'It's this f*cking fellow's fault!' Bruce gritted his teeth while thinking at the back of his head. All the bad things that are happening to him must be Alex's doing; he did something behind the scenes!
"Alex, you horsecrap spitting b*stard!"
Unable to hold his temper, Bruce pounced on Alex; he had decided to punch him.
However, wouldn't Alex just stand still and let himself be a punching bag? Of course not!
Alex instinctively caught Bruce's all-out punch.
Just then...
"Stop!" An authoritative and powerful voice could be heard resounding inside the office, startling everyone.
A beautiful woman wearing a glass and the classy outfit of a secretary suddenly appeared at the door; she immediately scolded Bruce.
"Although you no longer have the right to be the CEO of the company...." She scrutinized Bruce with her chilling gaze, just when Bruce was about to get into a brawl with Alex. "I've allowed you to be the manager of this company in consideration of your father, but it seems to me that decision is a mistake; you don't look like a manager to me."
Upon hearing that, Bruce's expression turned incredibly pale!
However, the pretty lady wasn't done yet, as she continued to speak while narrowing her gaze at Bruce.
"I might as well fire you, too." The pretty lady's words were quite fierce and no room for negotiation.
In response, Bruce howled in rage. "You're a nobody, you can't fire me! I'm the owner of this company!"
Bruce couldn't accept it. Didn't his father already finalize the documents for him to become the CEO? Then, how come he was fired by a woman? A woman who he didn't know in the first place?
Suddenly, Shenna spoke out, and she was greatly shaken. "There must be a mistake, right? Bruce is the CEO, right? Don't joke around!"
If it turns out that Bruce wasn't the CEO, her dream of promotion and owning half of the company while every employee would be at her beck and call would merely be a pipe dream! She couldn't accept it; her investment in becoming Bruce's girlfriend would lose all meaning...
Seeing how desperate Bruce and Shenna had become, the beautiful lady lifted the corner of her pinkish lips as she calmly stated.
"Mr. Bruce, I think you've misunderstood the company's intention."
"What are you trying to say?" Bruce gritted his teeth as he inquired.
"You are unnecessary to the company, and the new CEO has given me the power to fire you whenever I wanted."
At that moment, it wasn't Bruce and Shenna that were shocked into silence; rather, everyone present made them gasp in alarm.
All the employees were thinking, "Wasn't it yesterday that the announcement was made that Bruce would be the next CEO?" Then how come Bruce is being fired right at this moment? It was a mystery to them. It had become a puzzle that was hard to solve.
"Your lying right?" Bruce couldn't take the pretty lady's insult, and he blurted it out in fury.
The pretty lady smirked at Bruce, just as he was about to continue asking her when he abruptly felt his phone's vibration. But he decided not to answer it as there was a more pressing matter.
Unexpectedly, the pretty lady spoke with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"I would answer the call if I were you."
Bruce frowned, nevertheless, he took his phone out only to see that it was his father calling him! Without delay, he answered the call.
"Father, I heard......" Bruce didn't even finish his words when they were cut short by his father's angry roar on the other side of the phone.
"You ungrateful retard, who did you offend this time? The company is being auctioned, and someone has already bought it! I'm sure it's because of what you did!...."
Bruce's facial expression was slowly turning a lot paler by the seconds that passed, and ultimately he plopped on the floor tiles with a face full of despair.
"This can't be...." Bruce mumbled incoherently; it was like he had become a soulless vessel, empty and hollow.
On the other hand, Alex, who was solely watching from the sidelines, wasn't the only one surprised by the pretty lady's sudden appearance. He briefly glanced at Bruce; he shook his head. A tumor-like Bruce finally tasted what it felt like without his family's backing, and he talked about getting off his high horse.
Actually, he deserves worse for messing with people's lives...
Alex raised his hand, as he wanted to ask that pretty lady a question.
"Miss, can you at least explain to us what's going on?" Alex said as he waited for her response.
Unlucky for him, though, that pretty lady merely raised her brows at Alex. Seeing that Alex was speechless, he was completely ignored!
At this point, the pretty lady directed her terrifying blue eyes at Shenna, who flinched.
"Your Ms. Shenna, is that correct?" The pretty lady said her voice was laced with coldness.
"Y-Yes, what about it?" Shenna was still apprehensive after listening to Bruce and his father's conversation on the phone; their family was thanked for... The question now was, why was this lady targeting her?
"Miss Shenna, the company had found that your work skills were not matching your results, so the company management decided to fire you as soon as possible." The pretty lady told her without the slightest change in her expression, as though she were simply dealing with something insignificant.
"You must be joking, right?"
Shenna said while thinking that he had misheard what the beautiful woman was saying to her.
The pretty lady didn't respond to her question, as she simply took out a file and handed it to Shenna.
Shenna was looking at the papers in his hand; on the front page of the documents, there were big "dismissal" letters written on it....
Instantly, Shenna's brown eyes went wide. She became disoriented, and her hands began to shake heavily. No! This couldn't be happening...
What she was holding was the dismissal document; it was for her to sign!
"I've already informed the security, and they will personally escort you outside." The pretty lady calmly said.
Alex let out a sigh. If it were before, he wouldn't hesitate to help Shenna, but considering what she did to him, he couldn't find it in his heart to show her kindness.
Sometimes one shouldn't abuse the authority that was given to them, as who knows when karma will strike and bite a chunk at them? Alex thought in his heart.
"The show is over; return to your seat!" The pretty lady scanned her gaze at everyone, making them swallow their saliva, then vastly return to their seats in a hurry.
Alex was about to resume his work at his desk when, unexpectedly, he noticed the pretty lady walking toward him.
The pretty lady told him. "Sir Alex, the CEO wanted to meet you at his office; please follow me."
Alex pointed at himself; he was dumbfounded. What in the world? Why would the new CEO want to meet him?
'It's useless to keep thinking that, anyway, I'll be meeting with the new CEO; let's just hope his not someone like Bruce, as that would be a huge headache.' Alex mumbled to himself. There was also a possibility that he would be fired!
Meanwhile, Shenna was at a loss of what would happen to her starting today, but Alex and the beautiful woman's conversation had certainly drawn her attention.
"Is it possible that Alex is getting preferential treatment from the new CEO?" Shenna mumbled as her brown eyes lit up.

Richard's face was turning a shade of red as he hurriedly grabbed the bags Alex was carrying."Y-You must be tired, junior brother?" Richard wanted to keep his dignity, so he was making excuses not to be obvious. Furthermore, he had no idea about Alex's identity; he was horrified inside thinking about offending someone he shouldn't have. However, would Alex not notice what Richard was thinking? So he feigned ignorance and stated it in a calm voice. "Tired? Not at all. I can carry it for you all the way."Richard was stunned then, his back broke a cold sweat as he felt like crying with no tears.

"What do you mean my credit card didn't go through?" Richard was frowning heavily. How come his credit card wasn't accepted? He was pretty sure it had some savings in it.The server rolled his eyes, although he was annoyed. Nevertheless, he still had to maintain professionalism. With it in mind, he politely explained. "With all due respect, we only accept credit cards from reputable banks, mostly VIP card holders, but we do have a beer minimum; it would be the C.F.R. City Bank."The moment Richard heard those words, he was dumbfounded. What the... VIP card holders? What's even more incredulous is that the C.F.R. City Bank was considered a beer minimum.'Wasn't the C.F.R. City Bank the biggest bank in the City?' Richard mumbled in disbelief. On the side, teacher Vivian was similarly stunned, but soon she recovered, and she was starting to worry as she uttered. "Does it mean we will have to leave?""Let me think..." Richard gritted his teeth; he shouldn't have lost his cool, yet he had

Alex wondered how they managed to grow those plants that could only be seen in different countries!Indeed, the place deserves its name, the Golden Paradise.Just then, someone came toward Alex."Sir, this way, please."

They've already gone ahead; I should look for them later.' Alex mumbled while scanning the crowd, looking for his co-workers, only to fail.At this point, as

Weeks passed, and everything was back on track. Alex could be seen jogging around the plaza, as the children were playing while noticing the young man, Alex pass them by while gasping for air.Gradually, Alex slowed down. He was thirsty and dead tired from working out. He took a seat on a vacant bench, gulping down the water bottle and putting some on top of his head to refresh himself. "That felt good," Alex uttered while feeling his muscles start to relax.Just then, Alex heard his name being called from a distance. He shifted his gaze toward the direction of the voice and saw a young lady wearing a yoga outfit.Rihanna? Alex thought in surprise at her appearance."Alex..." Rihanna was catching her breath as she spoke. "I noticed you from the apartment's balcony earlier; I wanted to tag along, but you were jogging too fast... Oh, I almost forgot this is for you."Rihanna took out a small pink towel and handed it to Alex in a shy manner."Wow, thank you, Rihanna." Alex grinned as

At this juncture, the veterans were starting to incircle around Alex; one of the veterans even moved a step closer toward Shenna.Just as the perverted veteran was about to grab her, Alex suddenly blocked his outstretched hands with his body."Tell your men to stop." Alex's words were directed toward the veteran leader, who was simply standing at the back of the group of veterans.Hearing Alex's sentence, the veteran leader signaled to his group of veterans to stop."You want me dead, right?" Alex said while pushing the terrified Shenna behind him to cover him from the veterans."Indeed, we want you dead; your head will be valuable." The veteran leader's statement was very alarming."At least give me a reason why you are after me... Is it because of the Crown family?"
