Ch. 1021..1030

Chapter 1021

As an experienced and steely president, Yumi had imposed strict requirements for the job applicants. After flipping through all the resumes that were submitted, there was a disappointed look on her face.

Then, she swept her falcon-like gaze toward the group of job applicants, ignoring each and every one of those exhausted faces.

Ultimately, her gaze fell on one graceful and dashing physique. Although he was no longer the young master who was radiating with brilliance, he had never failed to amaze anyone with his coolness and indifference.

A great astonishment emerged in Yumi s eyes. Slowly yet surely, it evolved into a determined smile.

Yumi was the Severe's family's daughter-in-law. Although she rarely returned to the Severe's residence, she had learned a secret from Sera. Jay was back, and he had lost his memory too.

In order to protect Jay, Angelina was rigorous in keeping his identity a secret.

Yumi was not a good and virtuous person. Besides, she was still brooding over Grand Asia's annexing her company back then. All these years, she had been scheming to seize the Titus family's business back and take the opportunity of shortcuts to make swift

progress in order to crush and vanquish Angeline.

Unfortunately, Angeline was standing on the shoulders of giants. Coupled with her intelligence, she had not only secured and kept the Grand Asia that Jay founded safe, but she had also expanded Grand Asia's territories and made another glorious achievement.

This turned Tumi's dream into bubbles.

However, when Yumi saw Jay, her wild schemes were eager to come out to play.

Jay had amnesia. If she could just make use of his talents, there was no way Grand Asia would still be able to remain standing at the peak of glory, right?

Yumi walked toward Jay.

"Are you looking for a job?"

When Jay heard a coercive voice sounding from behind him, he turned around and saw Yumi crossing her arms. She was looking at him with a dignified expression.

He nodded. "Yeah."

"Do you have any hacking skills?" Yumi asked straightaway.

Jay nodded.

Yumi said decisively, "Perfect. We're in urgent need of a hacker. Come with me and I'll recruit you."

Although she sounded domineering, it fitted Jay's

style.

Jay found no reason to refuse, hence he followed Yumi to their company's recruitment booth.

Yumi signed the contract that she had drafted in advance, then filled in 'five million' for the annual salary before handing the contract to Jay. "Take a look. Sign if you accept the conditions."

Jay quickly flipped through the contract, then picked up a pen to sign it.

He was not even remotely aware of the look of delight in Yumi's eyes.

Fortunately, Nancy and Jean were both pampered children who worked in fits and starts when it came to managing their companies. They were not as assiduous or hardworking as her, and that was why she had hit the jackpot today.

If they were around, hiring a world-class hacker with only an annual salary of five million dollars would be nothing but a dream.

Jay had just written half of his name when a commotion broke out.

Out of curiosity, Jay stopped signing and looked up at the source of the commotion.

Standing at the entrance of the job market, he saw Angeline wearing a tiny black suit jacket with a long and narrow tie. Her long curly hair was let loose, and the color of her hair as black as ink. Though there were no hair accessories on it, her hair complemented her clover-shaped diamond earrings, making them dazzling to look at.

Standing next to her were two rows of bodyguards clad in white suits and sunglasses. The contrast of black and white made her look as though she was bursting with hormones. She looked more like a queen than ever.

She made a beeline for Jay.

When Jay saw her, he simply darted her a perfunctorily glance before picking up the pen and completing his name on the contract.

Yumi breathed a huge sigh of relief.

When she reached out to take Jay's contract, Angeline quickly acted as well.

Angeline pressed the contract between her fingers and glared at Yumi with a fierce, cold gaze. Like a sharp blade, her gaze fell on Yumi, sending chills racing down the other's spine.

Chapter 1022

Unexpectedly, after several years of girding up her loins, Angeline, who had been in a position of power and influence for so long, actually carried such a sharp edge. "Trying to steal applicants from me, Ms. Severe? I'm sorry, but you're one step late." Yumi laughed.

She had never regarded Angeline as her sister-in-law.

Although Yumi was Angelina's sister-in-law, she would never take on this obligation.

Angeline blurted in a domineering manner, "It's also possible to scrap a contract after it's signed!"

Yumi stared at Jay. "Make sure you take a look at the consequences of breaching the contract before you decide whether you want to breach it or not."

Jay did not care about the consequences of breaching the contract, though what he did not like was how Angeline was behaving like a vanquisher.

"What are you trying to do?" he questioned her furiously.

When Angeline turned to look at him, the frost on her face dissipated completely. She said with a smile," Her tiny company doesn't deserve a talent like you. Come to Grand Asia and you can list whatever conditions you want."

Jay replied, "No thanks."

At the thought of this she-devil staring at him with a perverted gaze and using all sorts of fancy language to tease him, he shuddered uncontrollably.

When she saw how resolute and decisive he was at rejecting Angeline, Yumi's face revealed a trace of delight.

She thought that if Master Ares was bent on joining her company, then there was certainly no way Angeline could make him change his mind.

Yumi said, "Ms. Severe, you may be the Grand Asia president who everyone looks up to, but not everyone here likes your company. This is a society ruled by law. You can't possibly resort to coercion in broad daylight, can you?"

Angeline glanced sharply at Yumi. "You have no right to speak here."

Since Yumi had been addressing her as Ms. Severe over and over again, why should she bother showing her any respect as her family member then?

Yumi gritted her teeth in anger.

Angeline looked at Jay, listing out the pros and cons for him with a sincere look on her face. "You're more suited to work in Grand Asia. In the entire Imperial Capital, even companies that are slightly reputable have been annexed by Grand Asia. The rest are all just minor companies struggling to stay afloat in the industry. They lack professional skills, their teams are holding them back-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Jay looked at her in a provocative manner and said, "I prefer small companies. I want to take up challenges and play games with the big companies." Angeline,

Was this man trying to ruin his own company?

Angeline was furious. Since he refused to listen to reason, she would resort to force then.

"You really don't want to come to Grand Asia?"

He did not even budge. The expression on his face was a resolute and decisive one.

"Fine. Go to Titus Enterprise then, I won't stop you." Angeline let go of her hand.

Jay pulled out the contract and handed it to Yumi.

Yumi stared at Angeline with a smug and contemptuous gaze. She knew it. She had no way of changing Jay's mind at all.

Jay turned around and was about to leave...

Suddenly, Angeline was heard commanding her subordinates. "Grayson, is that Tempest guy dead yet? If he's not dead, can you stop all his medication at once?"

Jay's back stiffened. He then turned around quickly

and snapped. "You're despicable, Angeline Severe."

Angeline smiled like a blooming flower. "I'm despicable?

"Also, Grayson, buy Tempest a burial plot while you're at it-"

"You're shameless." Jay gritted his teeth.

"Yup, I'm shameless." Angeline raised her chin and gave Jay a triumphant look.

Angeline knew that in order to make Jay change his mind, there was no use reasoning with him because for a terribly self-conceited man like him, he would only listen to himself instead of others.

Chapter 1023

Chapter 1023

Jay turned back, gritted his teeth, and growled. "What do you want?"

Angeline replied, "Come to Grand Asia. Pick whatever position you want, list out the annual salary you'd like, and get everything from branded cars to big houses." Jay's face darkened. "I don't have that high of a net worth."

Angeline stuck her tongue out. She seemed to have overshot the mark.

This guy was still unaware of how valuable his capabilities actually were.

Angeline pondered for a while before saying to Grayson, "Grayson, dismiss Zayne. From tomorrow onward, he'll be my personal assistant."

Grayson could not help but laugh. Was Ms. Severe trying to put him close to her in order to take advantage of him?

Master Ares was clearly more suited for the Cyber Security Department.

Jay darted her a speechless glance, looking extremely reluctant. "I'll come to work tomorrow."

Angeline nodded with a smile and ordered Grayson,

Send him home."

Grayson was secretly delighted. "Okay," he responded in a very sonorous tone.

When Jay left, Angeline went back to looking like a cold and frosty demon queen once more as she approached Yumi.

At this moment, her gaze was as sharp as a blade while her voice could chill someone to the bones." How dare you have designs on him, Yumi Titus?!"

The look on Angeline's face left her dumbfounded, yet even so, it only lasted for a fleeting second before Yumi remembered just how soft and gullible the woman actually looked under this she-devil mask. She then shrugged and sneered, "I have no reason to refuse him when he wants to apply for a position in my company, right? After all, every company out there thirsts for talents."

Angeline put on an intimidating and cold aura, warning her in a solemn voice. "You'd better put your wicked ideas away. Let me get this straight. This man is off-limits. If anyone has designs on him, they must get my permission first."

She added, "If you ever go against me, then don't blame me for not treating you as my sister-in-law."

Yumi sneered and questioned her with great amusement, "When have you ever treated me as your sister-in-law? When you acquired Titus Enterprise three years ago, you drove me into a corner, causing m e to nearly go down on my knees to beg you. How can you be so cold and ruthless?"

An alluring sneer emanated from her eyes. She ridiculed Angeline, saying, "That's why you received karma, Angeline. Your family is ruined."

Angeline slapped her on the face. "Three years ago, you lost to me because your skills were more inferior to me. Had Grand Asia not spared you and offered you a way out, do you think you can stand here unscathed and talk to me right now?"

A touch of fury and indignance emerged on Yumi's face.

Three years ago, she was riding on the crest of success. Titus Enterprise was the largest company in Swallow City. If Angeline had not imposed full sanctions on Titus Enterprise and cut them off from their business chain, they would have never submitted to Grand Asia.

It was not because she was terrible at managing a business, but it was because their opponent was too formidable. Angeline, however, was not the opponent who had defeated her.

It was Jay!

She heard that Jay had handed over all his plans of acquiring various companies to Angeline before the accident.

That was why she was unwilling to submit all this time.

"Life has its ups and downs, Angeline Severe. You think you can have eternal victory just because he helped you out three years ago? Well, I'm afraid he can't help you anymore now. Watch your back because you might end up getting overthrown by the new generations.

Angeline sneered, "Why don't you worry about yourself? Now that you've moved my cheese, I'm interested to see how your puny little company is going to survive now."

Having said that, Angeline swaggered away.

Yumi glared at Angeline with a murderous look.

Grayson drove Jay back to Sunshine Court.

Grayson was lost in thought at the sight of this elegant and unique housing estate.

Master Ares had always viewed aesthetics uniquely, and it seemed that even poverty could not stop him from pursuing a life of elegance.

Although Sunshine Court was a housing estate for the poor, it was the only community that received an award in Imperial Capital. The design structure of this building was a momentous change in the poverty area.

Though no matter how elegant a poor housing area looked like, it would still be no match for Master Ares' noble status.

Grayson racked his brains to think of a way to make Master Ares move out from this place.

"Mr. Ben, it's quite far to get to Grand Asia from here. Plus, you don't own a vehicle and it'll take a lot of time if you take the metro to work every day. Why don't you move closer to the company instead?"

Chapter 1024

Chapter 1024

Jay turned him down straight away. "It's a hassle to move."

Grayson, Yeap, that was definitely his way of dealing with a situation.

"Daddy." Suddenly, a kiddy voice interrupted their conversation.

Marilyn held Tiger's hands and was just returning from the vegetable market. The vegetables in the basket looked very much wilted and even slightly yellowish.

Grayson's falcon-like pupils suddenly contracted. Did this woman actually pick vegetables like that to cook?

To feed Tom, Dick, and Harry?

Grayson's heart was clouded in a layer of obscurity for some reason.

Marilyn had always been someone who would move a t the sight of money, hence when she noticed Grayson driving a luxury car, she immediately wanted to curry favor with him. "Who is this, darling?"

"A colleague," Jay replied.

Marilyn let out an ingratiating smile. "If he's your

colleague, then invite him in to take a seat. It's really impolite to make him stand out here."

Jay looked reluctant.

Even so, Grayson nodded quickly. "It'd be too disrespectful for me to decline."

Though after seeing Master Ares' ice-cold countenance, Grayson felt a little guilty as well.

If this was in the past, Grayson would certainly not go against his will.

However, the sight of the shriveled up vegetables in Marilyn's basket today made him uneasy. He wanted to find out what kind of life Master Ares was actually living. Grayson followed them into the rental house.

"Just sit wherever you want," Jay said.

His ice-sculptured face carried no trace of warmth at all.

Marilyn was unhappy with Jay's way of showing hospitality and hinted at him with her eyes a few times. Jay was still ill-tempered as always.

Therefore, Marilyn had no choice but to mediate for him. "My husband is a man of few words. That's how he usually is. Don't mind him."

Grayson was sweating in secret. He? Getting upset with the almighty Master Jay Ares?

How many lives did he have?

Marilyn poured Grayson a cup of tea, then carried the basket into the kitchen.

Grayson felt like a heavy rock had fallen in his heart. This darn woman was actually using such awful vegetables like that to cook for Master Ares? He felt extremely upset at this moment.

He was so irritated that he got up and paced back and forth in the room.

Jay turned a blind eye to Grayson's abnormality and uttered mildly, "If you feel uncomfortable, then feel free to leave."

Grayson then took his seat dejectedly.

Even so, he was still anxious, hence he stood up again.

Jay glared sternly at him. If this guy felt uneasy staying in someone else's place, why did he even bother coming in then?"

Grayson panicked a little when he noticed Jay's stern gaze and quickly searched his head for an excuse. "I need to use the bathroom."

Jay pointed out the direction of the bathroom with his chin. "It's over there."

He thought in his heart that it turned out this guy had a bowel urgency!

Grayson ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

The anger on his face was completely unmasked.

Ms. Severe had racked her brains to think of a way to stuff a bank card with one million dollars in it to Master Ares. It had not been that long yet and this woman was already back to living a life like that?

Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025

Grayson turned on the tap and splashed cold water onto his dashing face. In the mirror, Grayson tried his best to manage his expression, gradually concealing the violent and ruthless look on his face. He then tried to squeeze out a smile while facing the mirror, yet this smile looked even more hideous than his crying face.

In the end, he gave up fixing his facial expression altogether as tears flowed out of his eyes.

Three years ago, the scene of Jay braving the danger alone in order to rescue them started flashing in his head like a movie.

He was their everything.

However, he sacrificed himself to save everyone.

Grayson was about to burst into tears. He raised his head, drew out the tissues next to him, and wiped his misty eyes vigorously before crumpling the tissues soaked with his tears into a ball. He tossed it into the trash can.

Grayson nearly slipped to the ground at the sight of a Durex condom packet in the trash.

Master Ares and this woman...

How heartbroken would Ms. Severe be if she knew about this?

Grayson's anger diminished abruptly by this major shock.

When he finally calmed down and came out of the bathroom, his bloodshot eyes aroused Jay's suspicion.

"I thought you got flushed down the toilet," Jay sneered.

Grayson forced out a smile.

Marilyn brought out a few green-colored dishes from the kitchen. When Grayson noticed a few bright red peppers lying on top of the greens, rage and fury shot out of his eyes.

Did she not know that Master Ares had a bad stomach?

"If you don't mind, Mr. Grayson, you're welcome to have a simple meal with us."

Grayson agreed readily. "Sure."

When eating, Grayson would take anything that Jay took.

He was dying to finish off all these low-quality vegetables before they ruined Jay's stomach.

Jay glanced speechlessly at Grayson. Ultimately, he ate the plain white bread on his plate grumpily.

Marilyn looked slightly embarrassed and explained."

I'm sorry, Mr. Grayson. These dishes must seem like a joke to you. If you came a few days earlier, I'd be able to offer you something better, though unfortunately, I lost our bank card just a few days ago. That's why..."

Grayson finally understood what was going on.

He immediately fished out his wallet, drew out all the cash in it, and handed it to Marilyn. "Take them, Big Sis. Use it in case of an emergency."

A touch of delight exuded from Marilyn's eyes. She had just reached out to take it when Jay pushed the money back to Grayson and said, "No, I'll ask the company for an advance tomorrow."

Marilyn stared at Jay with displeasure in her eyes.

Grayson put away the cash when he noticed what happened.

Grayson glanced at the disappointed-looking Marilyn, a bitter and obscure smile filling his eyes.

This insufferably vulgar woman did not deserve Master Ares at all.

Only a noble and lofty woman like Ms. Severe was the perfect match for Master Ares.

It was a dull and insipid meal.

After the meal, Grayson stood up and stared at Jay with a reverent gaze that was intermingled with a hint of concern. "See you tomorrow."

"Mm."

Chapter 1026

Chapter 1026

After Grayson left, Marilyn started grumbling endlessly, "I know you're a man of high morals and that's why you refuse to accept alms from others, but can't you see what kind of life we're living? We don't have a single penny, and all the vegetables we ate today were the leftovers from the farmer's market. How are we supposed to live a life like this?"

There was a hint of anger in Jay's eyes. "And you served our guest with vegetables like that?"

His icy tone sent Marilyn shuddering with fear. She then cried and said, "No housewife can cook a meal without food and vegetables. What do you suppose I d o?"

Jay roared. "Bread alone is enough to fill someone's stomach."

Having said that, he turned around and left abruptly.

He shut himself in the bedroom and inadvertently swept his gaze across the Hacker Empire books on the bedside table.

A singsong voice rang out in his mind. 'Mr. Ben, these are my mommy's favorite books!'

They were strangers who had never met, yet even so, she was able to so generously give him her favorite

books. A woman who lived outside of the illusory and fantasy of fame like that was one he truly admired.

He pulled out one of the Hacker Empire books and started flipping through it slowly.

In the living room, Marilyn sat on the couch in a daze.

Ben had rarely lost his temper at her. She was surprised to learn how terrifying he looked when he lost his temper. Even if he did not have an argument with her, those stern eyes alone were enough to frighten her out of her wits.

Marilyn wanted to say something to him at first, but she swallowed her words back in after seeing the look in his eyes.

Clenching both hands together, she felt a lingering fear in her heart when she thought of the incident this morning.

This morning, she had just returned home with Tiger.

When she was about to close the door, a figure suddenly came in from the side. When Marilyn took a closer look at that person, her entire being was crushed by despair.

"Why are you here again?" she asked in a shuddering voice.

As soon as Ken walked in, he started hugging her unscrupulously. "I can't take it anymore, Marilyn. I want to make out with you."

Marilyn grumbled impatiently, "I just gave you money, didn't I? Take the money and go live your life. What are you doing pestering me all day?"

The man was vexed by her indifference. "What do you mean by that? You're not happy to see me? Do you think you can get rid of me with that bit of money? Listen up, Marilyn Auberge, you're mine. Had I not killed the man who tried to rape you back then just to protect you, I wouldn't be jailed either and wouldn't have trouble looking for a job now. Since you've ruined my life, you'll have to make it up to me."

He patted Marilyn's face and uttered ferociously, "I will toy with you however I want. Once I'm done toying with you, you will still have to keep on supplying me with money to spend."

After saying those words, he dragged Marilyn into the room.

Marilyn struggled. "Not that room. He has mysophobia. If he finds out about our affair, then you might as well forget about getting any more money."

The man was very much puzzled. "What the heck is mysophobia? It's not like he's a rich young master or anything. Why are there so many problems with him?"

Though that was what he said, the man dragged Marilyn into the bathroom. After his desires were met, the man told her with great satisfaction, "Remember, Marilyn Auberge, you're my wife. It's your obligation to do this with me..."

Marilyn buttoned her shirt in a hurry and hissed. "If

we're done, then you should probably go."

The man harrumphed coldly. He stroked Marilyn's face and said, "I'll be back tomorrow."

When the man left, Marilyn started panicking. She needed to get rid of Ken.

Just as Jay was lost in the sea of books, Marilyn suddenly opened the door gently and walked in.

Without raising his eyelids, Jay asked indifferently," Yes?"

Marilyn walked up to him and said in a timid voice, "When I was downstairs just now, your colleague said that the company is going to allocate a house for you. Shall we move, darling?"

Jay frowned. "The company's president isn't easy to deal with. We'll have lesser trouble if we stay further away from her."

Marilyn bit her lip and pleaded piteously. "Let's move, darling. When I go to the farmer's market these days, the rich people there would stare at me with judgmental eyes. I can't stand it anymore..." Jay let out an imperceptible sigh. "Okay then."

Chapter 1027

Chapter 1027

After Grayson returned to the company, he pondered over and over again before eventually informing Angelina of Jay's situation.

Grayson said in a choking voice, "Ms. Severe, he's not doing well at all. The vegetables they eat are wilted and yellow. They were a little spicy as well, none of which is good for his stomach." Angelina was stunned for a very long time after hearing what he said.

"I just gave him money, didn't I?"

"Marilyn accidentally lost the bank card and all the money in the card was transferred out."

There was a spark of anger in Angelina's eyes. "I want you to check and see who on earth has stolen that bank card. Once you find that culprit, I want you to punish him severely." Grayson clenched his fist. "I will."

"Go on then."

When Grayson left, he suddenly remembered something else when he got to the door. His countenance turned vague as he turned around to look at Angelina.

Angeline was reading documents with her head lowered.

Grayson felt awful.

For the past few years, Ms. Severe had used her own soft and tender shoulders to help Master Ares carry the weight of Grand Asia and be its backbone. She remained so determined and persistent because o the faintest hope she had in her heart that Master Ares would return again.

If that bit of hope eventually vanished into thin air, her fragile heart would definitely not be able to take such an immense blow. Hence, it would be better to give her an early reminder so she could at least be mentally prepared.

"Anything else?" Angeline lifted her eyelids and looked at Grayson.

Grayson blurted out, "Ms. Severe, I found a Durex condom packet in his bathroom today."

Then, Grayson left quickly, afraid to look at her expression.

Like a sculpture, Angeline was stunned.

A Durex condom packet?

That was evidence that he was having sex with Marilyn!

Although she knew that this was inevitable as they were husband and wife, for some reason, she still felt awfully heartbroken after learning about it.

Angeline was in such a terrible mood that she smacked the file shut.

She then took a paper and a pen, scribbling the job scope of a personal assistant on it in a fit of pique.

For 24 hours a day, she filled up his schedule. In addition to handling all kinds of company matters, he also needed to eat, drink, and play with her.

Angeline hissed. "Sex is all you can think about, huh? This will be your punishment then."

The next day.

The golden morning light shone on Imperial Capital's iconic building-Grand Asia. Then, it got refracted by the tinted glass and broke into specks and fragments like a sea of flames erupting to the skies. An endless stream of employees rushed in at dawn, adding a touch of worldly grime to this frosty yet magnificent building.

In the president's office.

Angeline held a mirror in her hand as she carefully examined her makeup. She had retained the cold charm of her smoky makeup today but ditched the greasiness of the honey.

Of course, Jay was the one who had forced her to make such a sacrifice.

Angeline did not want to trigger his mysophobia after he saw her, hence she compromised by putting on a new style of makeup.

There was no honey and just a light layer of primer. Although it was already the darkest color code available, it paled tremendously when compared to the honey.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Jay came to the president's office in a lackadaisical manner.

He darted a lukewarm glance at Angelina, paying no attention to her new makeup at all as he stared at her with his ever unsmiling face.

Angelina gave Jay the new personal assistant's job scope and schedule that she had already printed out a long time ago.

Jay sneered when he saw the work schedule.

"Eat, drink, and play with you? Sleeping is the only thing left out?"

Angelina said, "If you're willing to, then why not?"

Jay tossed the personal assistant work schedule back to Angelina furiously. "I don't want to work as your personal assistant."

Angelina gritted her teeth and said, "I'm the president of Grand Asia. Get that in your head. You do what I ask you to do."

'F*ck! That also includes eating, drinking, and sleeping with me!'

Chapter 1028

Chapter 1028

Jay gave Angeline a provocative stare. "Are you threatening me?"

A hint of guiltiness emanated from Angeline's eyes.

Though at the thought of how dutiful he was at serving Marilyn at home, a surge of jealousy overwhelmed her.

He would serve Marilyn at night and serve her in the day!

That was only fair!

"So what if I am?" Angeline said.

Jay's eyes darkened. "I'd rather have Tempest die with dignity than to live with humiliation."

Angeline,"..."

Her tone softened as the tension on her face eased. Her voice carried a hint of compromise. "What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to the Cyber Security Department."

Angeline looked furiously at him.

The president's office was on the ninth floor.

The Cyber Security Department on the sixth floor.

They were separated by three floors.

Was that to say that she would have to go downstairs if she wanted to see him?

When Angeline looked at Jay's stubborn expression, she suddenly felt a pang in her heart. Reluctantly, she summoned Grayson and ordered, "Take Ben to the Cyber Security Department." Jay did not leave immediately and stood there looking like he still had something to say.

Angeline stared at him with great bitterness. "Is there anything else?"

"I need a house that's provided under employee benefits."

Angeline drew out an envelope from the drawer and gave it to him. "This is for you."

Jay took the envelope and could feel several cards in it. They were probably for the gas and water of the house.

It was only then did Jay swagger off.

Angeline stared at his dashing and tall back, a wicked smile emerging in her eyes.

The house she gave him was a single-story villa located in a housing estate next to Horizon Colors.

This house's balcony was positioned directly opposite her villa in Horizon Colors.

It was only less than 100 meters in distance. As such, they would be able to see each other from a distance.

In order to better keep track of his life, she even asked Grayson to buy her an excellent telescope.

She would then be able to spy on this guy when the time came.

'Hahaha...'

Grayson took Jay on a tour to help him adapt to his new working environment at the Cyber Security Department.

Although the Cyber Security Department employees were all hardcore engineers and men of few words, occasionally when bizarre things would happen, each and every one of them could sound extremely mean as well.

When the logistics department sent someone to the Cyber Security Department to sanitize the place, the employees then began wagging their tongues.

"They must've hired a man from a royal or noble descent, hence the differential treatment."

"I doubt that a person of a royal or noble descent could attract the attention of a self-conceited and patronizing person like Ms. Severe."

"Who could this man be then?"

As they were discussing, Jay pushed the door open and walked in. Like a huge refrigerator had fallen from the sky, he turned the entire office building ice-cold. "Don't you think it's a bit cold?" An employee shuddered with his arms folded.

"This feels exactly like what we felt a few years ago, don't you think?"

Grayson immediately let out a sound to stop them." Cough, cough!"

The employees all turned to look at the door. When they saw Jay standing next to Grayson, they were all dumbfounded.

The office that was filled with whispers just moments ago was now engulfed in pin-drop silence.

Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029

Grayson swept his falcon-like gaze across the crowd. With a sharp edge in his voice, he warned. "This is your new colleague, Mr. Ben. If he needs any help in the future, you must all do your best to guide him." "We certainly will!" the rest nodded and responded.

However, they were all thinking to themselves inwardly, 'How can we be of any help when the almighty president has such a remarkable intelligence already?'

Jay wore an indifferent and distant look on his face as he walked straight to the empty space by the window. He sat down and switched on the computer.

A bright spot flickered on the computer screen before zooming in gradually and turning into a document.

It was a warm greeting from Ms. Severe.

Dear Ben:

'Welcome to Grand Asia. I wish you a stressless 365 days in Grand Asia.'

Jay picked up the mouse and crushed the soul soother that Angeline had prepared for him.

He then opened up Grand Asia Network's firewall and

began studying it.

Of course, other employees at the Cyber Security Department had also received a message.

However, it was not the same soul soother from the president, but instead, a cruel and merciless threat.' Anyone who has the guts to piss him off will be asked to pack up and leave with immediate effect.' The employees stared at the bright and beautiful sunny day out there and finally understood what it felt like to experience hail in June.

Oh, how cold!

They should probably wear more layers of clothes tomorrow.

To take better care of Jay, Grayson deliberately assigned a job for himself at the Cyber Security Department. That way, he would be able to take care o f Jay from a close distance.

At lunch, Grayson brought Jay to Grand Asia's staff cafeteria. As soon as they entered the restaurant, the employees could be heard complaining.

"Why is the food so bland today? There's not a single strong-flavored dish served."

"Is the kitchen running short of salt?"

"Running short of peppers?"

Jay's dashing face looked puzzled.

Did the she-devil order the kitchen to not cook anything spicy or too salty just because he could not eat them?

Despite that, the thought merely flashed across his mind. He did not think that the she-devil would dote on him so much that she would disregard others and treat him differently.

At this time, the chef was heard explaining, "The president reminded us over and over again today, telling us that the dishes we cook have to be light from now on."

The employees exploded!

"What does Her Majesty mean by that?"

"Why is she forbidding us from spicy food?"

Grayson led Jay inside without a word.

When the employees in the cafeteria swept their gazes across Jay by accident, they were so terrified that their souls left their bodies at once.

Angeline had prepared them a month earlier, telling them that if they saw Jay, they were supposed to ignore him as they would a stranger and keep their respect for him in their hearts. At the moment, there was absolute silence in the bustling cafeteria.

A hint of suspicion flashed in Jay's eyes. Why did the employees react like that whenever they saw him?

Was he that scary?

As soon as those thoughts emerged in his mind, Angeline was seen swaggering her way in.

It dawned on Jay that he had thought too highly of himself.

Angeline was probably the reason why the employees were silent.

Angeline was wearing a white tight-fitting blouse, a green sheath skirt, and a pair of white high heels.

She carried the aura of a gorgeous and enticing female president.

"Why is Her Majesty dressed like an enchantress today?" Jay heard the employees talking about the she -devil.

A hint of suspicion filled his eyes. The she-devil had never worn a skirt before?

It turned out that she really was a tomboy.

At this time, a new employee stood up and suggested." Your Majesty, can we add spices to the dishes?"

Angeline raised her eyebrows and was just about to let out a lioness roar when she caught sight of Jay standing in the corner. She quickly reminded herself to stay demure and composed.

Angeline smiled softly and adorably, but even so, it was a soft smile that carried a sharp edge. The words that came out of her mouth were blunt and ruthless." Yesterday I went to visit our next-door film company and I realized that we have a huge problem here in Grand Asia."

The employees were instantly on tenterhooks. Grand Asia served as a benchmark for corporations and a model in the industry, hence if there was a problem in Grand Asia, no matter how major or minor, it would still be a glitch that could not be tolerated.

Even Grayson looked serious now.

Angeline looked as though she was having trouble breathing. Just as the employees were burning with anxiety waiting for her to continue, she put on a look of admiration and praised all the employees at the film company next door. "Each and every one of the employees next door has a pleasant and enchanting appearance. Now when I look at all of you, I see your faces looking like Grinch with your listless dead panda eyes. It's just like I'm rushing to a funeral. Can you at least make me proud?"

The employees were rendered speechless.

"But Your Majesty, what does this have anything to do with the kitchen not preparing spicy dishes?" Engineers were known for their straightforward personality.

Hence, with twists and bends, Angeline retorted," You'll get angry easily if you take peppers all the time and anger leads to constipation, constipation leads to acne, and acne affects the image of Grand Asia. Grand Asia's slogan is to strive first for everything, so it doesn't make sense for us to lose to that eggshell of a company, right?"

The employees were probably convinced by the president's theory as every one of them started wearing a dazed expression. They were speechless.

"Crazy."

In the quiet restaurant, a deep, magnetic, and mellow voice was heard.

Everyone turned to the source of the voice and saw Jay staring provocatively at the queen with his devastatingly charming face.

At the sight of both presidents staring at each other with mutual hostility, the employees softened their breathing and focused their attention on them. They cocked their ears to listen to what these two had to say next.

They were all making furtive guesses. When Jay, the iceberg of a president, met Angelina, the charismatic queen, who would be the winner, they wondered?

The beautiful voice chimed once more. "The film company employees' appearances are their source of income. Is that what you want for Grand Asia too?"

Jay, the iceberg president, had won against the gorgeous president flawlessly.

Angeline's face was beyond clouded.

All of a sudden, she felt like her enthusiasm had been fed to the dogs.

She was doing all this only because she was worried about his stomach.

She stood there wearing a blank look on her face as her cheeks puffed up with anger.

Then, she turned around and left.

Zayne, her entourage, quickly called out to her. "Hey, Your Majesty, aren't you going to eat?"

Angeline said angrily, "I've lost my appetite."

Jay,"..."

He seemed to have crossed the line for embarrassing her in public!

After all, women liked to look good in front of others.

He stood up in silence and went to the cafeteria to grab a lunch box before walking out with a sullen look on his face. The president's office.

Angeline was sprawled out on the desk with her face buried, looking like a green onion that was placed upside down in the soil.

When Jay knocked on the door and came in, Angeline said weakly, "This person is dead. If anything, please call a psychic medium."

A faint smile emanated from Jay's icy soul.

He walked to the desk and pushed the box lunch to her.

Angeline smelled the fragrance of vegetables. Her hand that had passed through her black hair looked just like the Plants vs. Zombies' zombie hand. She was even humming a dirge for herself. "I'm not eating. I'm utterly devastated by his words."

Without even lifting her head to see who the person was, she began blabbering away.
