Jason swung open the car door, hopping out from the passenger side.
Today, he found himself temporarily summoned by Cassius, stepping back into the role of the executive assistant to the CEO of the K Group. Dressed in a sharply tailored slate-grey suit, his eyes stern and piercing, he was a sight for sore eyes.
Admiring glances from female employees were sent his way, but he paid them no mind. Opening the rear car door, he bowed respectfully.
"President Ashbourne, this way."
Cassius' calm and handsome face was void of any emotion, like a flawless and timeless statue.
As he moved his long legs and stepped out of the car, the women around him gasped in awe!
"Damn! He's so hot! Tonight's dream material, check!"
"Greedy much? You already have Mr. Abernathy in your dreams, and now you want to add another?"
"Is he really that handsome? I don't think he's as good as our Mr. Abernathy."
"You really don't appreciate beauty, do you? This man and Mr. Abernathy are two different styles. Mr. Abernathy is devastatingly handsome, while this man is understatedly attractive, silently gripping your heart, even more beguiling, don't you think?"
"But who is this guy? Why is he showing up at the Abernathy Group's entrance? Is he looking for someone?"
Cassius, as impassive as ever, walked into the entrance of the Abernathy Group building.
Jason followed closely behind. Despite there being only two of them, they exuded an intangible pressure that felt overwhelming to those around them.
Upon reaching the receptionist, Jason spoke first, his voice icy cold, "We're here for Mr. Abernathy."
"Mr. Abernathy?!"
The receptionist was taken aback.
Mr. Abernathy was a big shot, someone they hardly saw more than twice a year. His appointments were usually handled by his executive assistant, Gordon. No one just walked in demanding to see Mr. Abernathy.
"Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked, sticking to protocol.
Jason, "No."
"I'm sorry, but you cannot see Mr. Abernathy without an appointment. Please contact Mr. Gordon."
"Just let Thaddeus know, or his secretary."
Cassius, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, "The person who wants to see him is Cassius, CEO of the K Group."
Cassius.
Cassius?!
The receptionist was dumbfounded. It took her a moment to snap back to reality before she hurriedly picked up the phone to call Gordon.
Without waiting for Gordon to greet them downstairs, Cassius and Jason took the elevator up to the floor where the conference room was located.
As they stepped into the corridor, they were stopped by security guards.
"Tell Mr. Abernathy to come see me." Cassius spoke, his face expressionless.
"Mr. Abernathy is in an important meeting and cannot see anyone right now. Please leave." The security guard's tone was somewhat firm.
Who did they think they were, coming unannounced demanding to see Mr. Abernathy? What did they think this place was?
If he let them in easily, he might as well quit his job.
Cassius narrowed his dark eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable, and continued to walk forward.
As the two security guards reached out to stop him, Jason suddenly stepped in front of Cassius.
With a stern expression, he threw two swift punches, knocking both guards to the ground.
It wasn't that the guards were weak, but they never expected these men to actually start a fight on the premises of the Abernathy Group!
They scrambled to their feet, yelling for backup and trying to fight back.
However, they were no match for Jason's fighting skills. Personally trained by Cassius in his youth, he was not to be trifled with.
Jason's eyes were fierce. This time, he didn't throw any punches, instead, using swift kicks to take down the two guards who couldn't even get back up.
"Quite weak for the Abernathy Group’s security guards. If Thaddeus is relying on you to protect him, he's probably not long for this world," Jason sneered, brushing the dust off his suit, moving his neck as if he had just stretched his muscles.
"Jason, let's go."
Cassius, with his gaze fixed forward, walked ahead, his steps firm and unyielding.
At that moment, Gordon rushed out of the conference room at the sound of the commotion, once again trying to stop them.
"President Ashbourne, we welcome you here, but you can't just go around hitting our Abernathy Group’s employees. This isn't reasonable or right, don’t you think?"
"Will Thaddeus come out, or should I go in?" Cassius asked, as if he hadn't heard him.
Gordon's face darkened with anger, "I'm sorry, but Mr. Abernathy is in a meeting and cannot see you. Please leave."
Cassius lifted the corner of his mouth ever so slightly, moving closer to him.
Gordon's heart pounded, and he raised his arms to block him.
"Ah!"
In the next second, Cassius swiftly grabbed his arm, twisting it behind his back before forcefully pushing him away. Gordon even didn’t realize what had just happened.
Gordon hit the floor, his arm dislocated!
He gritted his teeth in pain, sweat dripping from his forehead. He watched helplessly as Cassius and Jason walked into the conference room.
The atmosphere in the conference room was tense.
Thaddeus, with his handsome posture, sat at the head of the conference table, exuding an aura of authority.
The high-ranking officials held their breaths, attentively listening to his low, steady voice outlining the work plans.
However, the sound of the door being broken open drew everyone's attention to Cassius and Jason.
Everyone in the room was shocked and bewildered.
Who among them didn't recognize the intruders?
Thaddeus knew they had arrived, but he ignored them, continuing to read from his report.
"Thaddeus, we need to talk." Cassius spoke, his eyes cold and steely.
He directly addressed him by his name in front of everyone, not bothering to save Mr. Abernathy any face.
Thaddeus paused for a moment, his long lashes lifting to meet Cassius' dark gaze.
