Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress novel Chapter 31

Alexander was the rumored fearsome, stone cold, Mafia emperor that no one had seen and that was because his identity is being hidden as CEO. Because of so much power he possess just as being a CEO, the governments who were unaware of his identity as the Mafia king had sought him out countless times to help them handle the underworld sometimes.

“So, tell me why am I still meeting their Chairman?"

No one wanted to answer due to fear of their boss, including the employees who brave earlier to talk. All his bravery had been used up earlier, besides he didn't want to be one to talk again in order to avoid being the first person to receive their boss' terrifying punishment.

However, the rest of his colleagues glanced at him, gesturing to him to speak on everyone's behalf. ‘What? Isn't once enough?! Why should I be the scapegoat and die for you all?’

Seeing that no one was willing to speak, Alex made a small gesture to his assistant.

Already knowing what to do, Derek cleared his throat and spoke, "If no one wants to answer Boss's question, then please have all your resignation letters turned in by the end of the day."

Derek glanced at the people and felt pity for them. But who could they blame but themselves.

The boss gave them one job, and yet this one job they couldn’t even do.

"Boss, it's not our fault, we tried to terminate the contract with Lexi Corps, but Chairman Roy was persistent in keeping the contract. He said he’ll meet you at tonight’s social gathering and speak with you for a reason." Finally another male worker spoke with fear.

Alex glanced at the man without saying a word.

The man gulped in fear. His boss is known as the scariest man in the business world. Just one look from him could kill a soul!

"Mm." was all Alex said, then he stood from his seat and walked out of the meeting room.

Everyone was confused and scared. Were they losing their jobs? What did the boss mean with ’mm’? All eyes darted to Derek with questioning eyes.

Letting out a deep and long sigh, Derek pinch the space between his brow, already knowing what their stare meant.

"You all should be thankful that one of you spoke. If none of you did, you all would have been jobless." He told them then cleared his throat and continued, "Everyone can head back to their workplaces. Boss will handle the matters involving Lexi Corps." He told them before walking out of the meeting room.

After Derek left, the employees glared at the first that spoke.

“What? Why are you all glaring at me like that?" The man asked cluelessly as to why his colleagues have been glaring at him like that.

“Do you really not know what you did?" Another employee asked but the man shook his head.
