Chapter 117
He was afraid that Kingsley might blame him for being incompetent by letting all these ‘weirdos’ enter the final round.
Nonetheless, Kingsley smiled. “I understand. You’re not to blame for this anyway. Please get me a camera.”
“A-Alright, I’ll go get one now!”
Jay looked relieved as he quickly gave his documents to the two secretaries behind him and jogged out of the meeting room. Meanwhile, the two young and beautiful secretaries glanced at Kingsley curiously with looks of admiration as they had never seen Jay being respectful toward anyone at all.
Yet, it seemed like Kingsley didn’t notice their gazes as he lit up his cigarette and turned toward Ethan and the others. “Young Master Ethan, why don’t we talk about what happened yesterday night?”
When everyone in the meeting room heard that, they fell into silence just as all twelve of them who were involved in what happened yesterday night started feeling terrified.
On the other hand, the other job applicants who weren’t involved stared at each other since they didn’t know what was happening.
Just then, Kingsley waved at them. “Come here; those who weren’t involved in what happened yesterday night should go sit on one side.”
Since they were candidates who managed to get into the final hiring process, all of them could sense the dynamic change in the venue despite not knowing what was happening.
Thus, all of them quickly moved to a side upon hearing Kingsley’s instructions.
Immediately, only twelve people that attended the dinner party yesterday stood in the middle of the meeting room, and all of them were shaking as if they were dogs left shivering in a winter storm.
Under Kingsley’s intimidating gaze, Noah became the first to give in as he kneeled and pleaded, “Mr. Nicholson, Miss Wynn, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have been disrespectful toward you guys!”
……
Thump! Thump! Thump!
…
At once, everyone behind him kneeled and started crying out as well, “Mr. Nicholson, we didn’t do it on purpose! All of us were tricked by Ethan!”
“Yeah! We didn’t know anything at all, and Ethan was the one who fooled us!”
“Please forgive us, Mr. Nicholson. We are in the wrong, and we are truly sorry about it…”
All of a sudden, various pleadings started ringing out, and the meeting room turned into a room for repentance as crying, pleading, and begging voices rang out incessantly.
At this moment, Benjamin dragged his shaking knees toward Kingsley’s direction before he said weakly, “Mr. Nicholson, we don’t have any grudges between the two of us, and you’ve already beat me up yesterday, so why don’t you let me off the hook? I really can’t afford to lose this job opportunity from Coliree Group—”
“Did you say that we don’t have any grudges between the two of us?”
A cold glint flashed past Kingsley’s gaze.
This person even tried to pull off Reene’s clothes yesterday! Things would have taken a worse turn if I wasn’t there!
At the thought of that, he immediately got angry.
With a loud thump, he brought his feet down on Benjamin’s chest.
“Ah!”
Benjamin yelped before he flew away from the impact of the kick and crashed into the meeting table behind him.
Immediately, the base of the wooden table cracked while a sickening crunch rang out from Benjamin’s spine. Then, sweat started dripping from his forehead.
“Ugh… It hurts…”
He huffed for air. At this moment, he was completely drenched in his own sweat as if he had just fallen into a pool of water.
Seeing that, everyone sucked in a cold breath and went quiet.
Meanwhile, Ethan couldn’t stand it any longer when he heard Benjamin’s painful groan.
With a thump, he kneeled on the ground as well.
“I-I was wrong, Mr. Nicholson. P-Please let me off the hook and ignore everything that I’ve done!”
However, a smirk appeared on Kingsley’s face.
“Weren’t you being arrogant at the Wynns earlier on? Didn’t you insult Reene with that fiancée of yours?!”
