Chapter 57
Realising that would make his brother stop asking him numerous questions about his source of money, Reed stood up, intending to play along as much as Selena wanted. “I'm sorry for my brother's attitude. It's obvious that he doesn't know what he's supposed to do. However, I hope you will treat him right!” Vincent said with a bright smile completely smitten by her beauty while Selena nodded with a light chuckle. To her, it felt nice that she was meeting with her boss's family. “Do not mind our house structure. I know it's not what you expect and…”“It's fine…” “I…”However, just as his brother was about to ask more questions, Reed hurriedly grabbed her hands and continued, “She would like to leave now…”“But we haven't offered her anything yet…’Yet, Reed was gone. The moment they stepped outside, he tucked his hands into his pocket and stared at her. For some reason, it felt as though she was being judged for what she had done. Not knowing whether she had offended him or not, she

“Reed, tell me the truth. I am your brother and I promise you that I will not judge you! Are you into money cultism?” Vincent exclaimed in fear. He knew the implications of being into money cultism. The end of it was not always the best and in fact, the cult society would get more than they bargained from them. “What? No! That's not true. My money is decent!” Reed continued, wondering how else to convince his brother. However, he understood his point of view. They grew up in poverty that such amount of money he promised his brother seemed too good to be true. In fact, it was a dream!No one would offer him that kind of money especially since he just got out of jail. “I want you to believe me because I will never tell lies to you!” Reed said again, his gaze softening. “That's not true. We both know that no one in our family has ever been successful. We've always been managing our resources…”“That's…” Reed said and stopped abruptly wondering how else to let his brother understand

“I have a better hair shave in my car, sir. How about I give you a nice haircut while you lean on me? That can soothe you also” Selena suggested as they walked out of the car, hoping that he would give her a positive response with a smile laced at the corner of her face. The man stared into space for a while before he nodded his head in approval. Maybe it wasn't really bad for the next day's meeting.Now that he thought about it, he wondered if the people he met there three years ago were still the same people that worked there. “Did you meet the people that used to work for my father when you went there?”However, she shook her head. “I was able to get this somehow forged. But while I was still under Cornell, I overheard him telling a friend that he made sure to send your father's employees to jail because they defyed him.”“The only people you may see are those that are scared to talk against him and the people that he employed directly, sir” “Get ready, you will come with me t

“Take your hands off me, you idiot!” The man screamed out in excruciating pain! However, Reed tightened his hands again, causing no space! On seeing that Reed had probably gotten stronger since he must have learnt a lot of skills after going to jail, he swallowed his pride and closed his eyes. “I'm sorry.. let me go!” He managed to say while Selena looked at her boss. Judging from the cold look laced on his face, it did not seem like he would let him go anytime soon. “I'm not the right person to beg!” Reed replied sharply, not letting go of his hands while the man screamed out. At this rate, he was definitely sure that his hands would either break or he would never be able to use it again. “What… Ah!” The man yelled again. To the other people, it seemed as though he held his hand like a layman. Why then was he screaming like a fool?Was that… a look of fear on the oldie's face? They all thought in bewilderment. Back in the days, the oldie used to tell a lot of stories of how he us
Chapter 53 - Floral spa
Floral spa! Those words were on Reed's lips as he stared at the place Selena had brought him to.It seemed local just like the one provided for them in jail. Old posters were pasted on the walls of the building that seemed like it was set for demolition. For a while, there was stunned silence while the smile on Selena's face faded. Had her boss perhaps not taken a special liking to this that he wished to turn around and leave? She thought, her mind disoriented. Only then did Reed nod. “Do you like the place, sir?”“I don't have the best response for that” He replied with a blank expression. “Tomorrow, the workers of your father's business shop want to meet you. Actually, not directly because I did not let them know that you would be coming, sir”That again impressed Reed. A while ago, he did not realize that he would be attending a meeting. “And?”Then, Selena flashed a smile as she continued, “You should meet them. Cornell have constantly abused them for a very long time and

“I'm surprised to see you here, Lena?” Reed said curtly the moment they both watched the ladies being driven away by the cops. Somehow, Selena released a light blush as she tucked her hair behind her ears. Only then did she hurriedly bring out a file. She knew her boss. He was easy to switch topics immediately. “It was also very easy for you to find out where I live. Apart from the fact that you are good with your brains, you're probably good at stalking people, Hun?” He asked again. This time, she laughed shortly. Reed complimented her again. This was something that Cornell would never do. He would instead tell her how much of a fool she is for not doing her job the way he wanted it.“I wasn't stalking you, sir. In fact, I came here bearing good news”“The same news that should have waited at the office till I resume? You were awesome earlier, anyway” Reed continued without a smile. However, that again made her heart leap forward as she looked downwards. She would have also love
