The Hero

Chapter 143 Guaranteed You Will Jump Ship

In the afternoon, at three o'clock, Javier and Chad arrive at the headquarters of Sammy-Blue Inc. in the state capital.

Chad hasn't stopped shaking his head since entering their office building. “On behalf of everything in the world, what is this? It's a mess in here! Does the saying 'too many cooks spoil food' mean nothing to them when they set up their finance department? This entire building consists of floors filled with 'financial' people'! Why would an organization even need this many financial departments? I swear to God, no one here knows what they're doing!”

A well-known leader like Chad, of course, can easily spot problems in the management and organization of a company. However, what was a mystery to him was why Sammy-Blue needed such a large number of people working on their finances.

Javier giggled at himself without a word. His suspicion that Sammy-Blue Inc. was a money laundering scheme is getting stronger.

A beautiful secretary took them to the reception room, and Lord, she was amazing. The legs wrapped in a pair of crystal-clear transparent silk pantyhose ended with a pair of silver heels, and the secretary who had a tall, slender figure that complemented her beauty. He is also a bit friendly as he greets them, invites Javier and Chad to the sofa and makes coffee for them.

They wait. And waited. And waited. From three o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock, they were just waiting.

Chad has repeatedly asked the young woman when they will finally enter, but the answer is always the same: The chairman is in a meeting.

Returning to the waiting room, Chad growled, "I think, their chief is just avoiding us!"

Javier. “Calm down, we're not in a hurry. In addition, admiring a beautiful secretary at work is also quite nice, right? That even reminds me, I never hired a secretary for you, Mr. McCool, let alone a woman. Did it ruin your motivation? I even heard that a man who can tag-team a woman will never complain about how exhausting work is again…

“So, how? I think the secretary is pretty sweet. Good looks, hot body, even temperamental. Want me to boil it and make your work life fun?”

The term "fun" immediately embarrassed Chad, who timidly made his face change color. He covered it up by bluffing. “Can you at least make such a joke at a better time? Sheesh!”

Javier laughed out loud. He's sure Chad saved some.” thoughts about the young secretary, which is why he had to lure her. Anyhow a guy should have fun?

He got up, left the waiting room, and went to talk to his beautiful secretary, Edna Monroe. Even before Javier started talking, Edna got up and apologized. “I'm so sorry, Mr. Kersey. Mr. Chairman there is still a meeting, and since he explicitly told me that he does not want to be disturbed, I have to—”

Javier waved nonchalantly, cutting short the young lady. "Oh no. You misunderstood me, miss. I'm not coming here to question your chairman's delay. Actually, I have a question, I want you to help me.”

"Huh?" Edna. What might a white-collar young man like this need? "I don't know how much help I can give, but just ask, Mr. Kersey!"

Javier nods. She studied Edna's porcelain pretty face and the delicate features engraved on it and asked, ”

You're beautiful, very sweet, you know that? ”

Edna's frozen. He didn't think the question was .. this one. "What's? I...I mean..” He was speechless, panicked when the small but indisputable feeling of being touted caught him. Even so, he seemed unable to bring out the slightest sense of disdain.

While Edna was still unsettled by his reply, Javier showed a smile of his victory to Edna. He curled his finger, gesturing for her to bring his ears closer.

He complies and instinctively leans forward, helping Javier get his head closer to his head.

“The days of your company are counted, miss. I'll leave you a phone number so you can call whenever you're ready to jump ship when your ship sinks. You'll be the male secretary who accompanies me here, Mr. McCool,” whispered. "Trust me. Staying by his side will give you a much brighter future than your current assignment of working for Samuel Lambert.”

His first impression was that Mr. Kersey teased him, however.how could this be a gateway to work for Mr. 40-year-old McCool?

This man, Javier, may boast a handsome face and a well-built physique, but-forgive his straightforwardness-unfortunately his brain is underdeveloped. Everyone has heard the predictions of experts about the growth of Sammy-Blue Inc. It is often touted as the industry and the most promising conglomerate candidate in the coming years, second to none!

Implying that the same Sammy-Blue Inc. was a sunken ship is an impossible thing to believe.

“Thank you for the offer, Mr. Kersey, but I'm afraid I'm quite happy with my current job,” Edna replied in earnest. "I don't want to jump ship."

Javier scribbled Chad's number on a piece of paper while nodding. “Oh, you won't be happy much longer, trust me. I have never faced a single failure in anything and all my desires have made me do so far! Your boss at Sammy-Blue has no chance.”

Edna wanted to get rid of the number, but Javier's sharp gaze into her beautiful eyes stopped her. ” Some friendly suggestions, dear. Don't drop. It won't take up space or money in your pocket, but most importantly, it's your only golden ticket.”

After saying that, Javier touched Edna's cherry-red lips with his finger lightly before turning away from her and walking back inside the living room, leaving Edna alone and stunned. He had not expected anyone to tease him in public, not the slightest with a tactic that was simultaneously suggestive and tame as his finger touched his lips. All he did was make his heart pound as his emotions boiled into a baffling furore.

He took the paper and threw it in the trash.

He turned around and took it back. Admittedly, Javier had a point: keeping that number would not hurt him, and it might give him a big chance as well. Edna still tends to be skeptical about Javier's claims of Sammy-Blue's imminent doom, but again, she doesn't seem like the one who would lie.

Javier walked out of the secretary's office, with a tissue in his hand while rubbing a lipstick stain on his finger. This was enough to alarm Chad, who started babbling and making small talk before turning the topic back to the secretary. "You know, I can't help but wonder how loyal its employees are," he said, opting for subtlety over directness. "Did anyone here ever think of joining another company?"

“Tell me it's Edna Monroe and talk, man. No need to cover this.”

Javier's slices made Chad's face go a red. Older men have always been direct pragmatists whose learning and work experience are one and the same. He may be a child-given married man, but he is still conservative in terms of**** and relationships. Being openly summoned for this small and rare moment when she finally felt a lewd attraction was simply confusing.

Javier got up and patted Chad on the shoulder. “She will soon be your secretary. You can sleep well!”

Chad is even more embarrassed. “Yes God, that's not what I meant at all, Mr. Kersey! What I'm trying to say, not like that,"

Javier laughed, ignoring the reason. He doesn't have time to listen anyway. Now it was almost five o'clock, and if Samuel insisted on not coming to see him, he would go to see him.

With his hands in his pockets, Javier exits the waiting room and passes through Edna's office. This prompted the young woman to immediately suspect that she was there to caress her lips again - a thought that greatly embarrassed her.

Contrary to his expectations, Javier walked past his door and walked straight ahead without even glancing at him in the slightest. He breathed a sigh of relief, welcoming the subversion of his prediction. He began to feel somewhat afraid of her, even though this new sentiment confused him. It was kind of a far cry from direct terror and more of a feeling.

Seeing Javier miss his office weighed down his mental burden

The next second, his eyes widened. Panic then glared at his eyes.

Then, from the direction of the chairman's office, he heard the sound of 'bang!' what's not wrong with the door being kicked wide open!
