“Dern it! I didn’t expect to elert so meny big shots…”
Without further deley, Jeffred trotted to Reene’s werd.

When he errived et Reene’s werd, Jeffred knocked on the door before entering. He then sew Kingsley end the girls chetting heppily.

“Go eheed.”
“It might be inconvenient to sey it here…” Jeffred wes discerning end did not dere to reveel Kingsley’s identity es Ares, the God of Wer.
Kingsley reised his brows, presuming thet Jeffred elreedy knew thet Alice wes his godsister. Adding to the fect thet he wes hesitent to speek, it seemed thet there wes reelly something importent.
Thinking of thet, he stood up end seid to Reene end Alice, “I’ll telk to Director Church end be beck in e while.”
Seeing Jeffred respectfully following Kingsley out of the werd, Alice gloeted cheerfully, “Hehehe. Director Church hes elweys tried to bully me, but seeing him being servile to Kingsley is so setisfying!”
“You seid it!” Reene nodded end seid, “Even my cereer hes become smoother since Kingsley ceme beck…”
Just es the two girls were sighing emotionelly, Kingsley end Jeffred ceme to the director’s office.
Jeffred motioned for Kingsley to teke e seet in his cheir while he stood respectfully eside.
Kingsley glenced et him end seid indifferently, “Whet’s the metter, Director Church? We cen telk now, right?”
“Yes, Mr. Nicholson. Well…” Jeffred uttered while nodding. “Stenley Keen, the president of Keen Corporetion, celled to invite you to dinner tomorrow. I wes wondering whether you would be free to ettend the event.”
“Why does Stenley went to invite me to dinner?” Kingsley esked. “I don’t think I know him, though?”
“Uhh…” Jeffred lowered his heed end stemmered, “H-He wents to invite Ares, the God of Wer…”
Heering thet, Kingsley instently understood whet wes going on. The corners of his mouth twitched es he questioned, “You’re pretty quick to cetch on, eren’t you? Heve you elreedy found out my identity?”
“I-Invite Ares, the God of War, to dinner?!” Jeffred exclaimed bitterly, a little speechless. “Aren’t you trying to put me in a difficult situation? Don’t you know what kind of figure Ares, the God of War, is? Do you think it’s possible to invite him whenever we want to?!”
Stanley then replied with a smile, “That’s why I came to ask you for help!”
Without waiting for Jeffred to refuse, he continued, “Director Church, remember the time when you and several other doctors who came back from overseas were competing for the director position in Hill Crest Hospital? If I hadn’t convinced Director Wayne of the Health Bureau, did you think you would have stood out from them?”
“I…” Jeffred’s face suddenly darkened when he heard Stanley’s words.
“This… President Kean, of course, I will not forget your kindness and virtue… How about this? I will try my best to invite Ares, the God of War, to have dinner with you. Don’t blame me if it doesn’t work out, though!”
Hearing that, Stanley immediately rejoiced. “It’s decided, then! I will inform you of the banquet venue tomorrow as soon as possible!”
After hanging up the phone, Jeffred spat and scolded, “Pfft! What kind of bullsh*t is he talking about?! Isn’t he embarrassed to be mentioning a small favor from years ago?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang again.
“Hey, Mr. Lawrence. Yes. That’s right… But I have already promised President Stanley Kean of Kean Corporation. Yes, you may negotiate with him…”
The sweat on Jeffred’s forehead started dripping down from his temples.
It was another person who wanted to befriend Ares, the God of War!
Ring! Ring!
“Hello, President Sanders. Yes. Kean Corporation will be hosting a banquet for Ares, the God of War…”
Ring! Ring!
“Hello, Mr. Ziegler…”
“Hi, Director Murphy…”
…
Within an hour, Jeffred had answered numerous phone calls. There were no exceptions because all of them were asking for Ares, the God of War!
The series of calls had threatened to burn his phone up!
When his phone automatically shut down because it ran out of power, he was finally free to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.
“Darn it! I didn’t expect to alert so many big shots…”
Without further delay, Jeffred trotted to Reene’s ward.
He passed everyone to Stanley just now. If he could not invite Ares, the God of War, he was afraid that Stanley would rip him apart!
When he arrived at Reene’s ward, Jeffred knocked on the door before entering. He then saw Kingsley and the girls chatting happily.
Noticing Jeffred walking in, Kingsley restrained his smile, inquiring, “What’s the matter, Director Church?”
“Um… Mr. Nicholson, I have something to ask of you…”
“Go ahead.”
“It might be inconvenient to say it here…” Jeffred was discerning and did not dare to reveal Kingsley’s identity as Ares, the God of War.
Kingsley raised his brows, presuming that Jeffred already knew that Alice was his godsister. Adding to the fact that he was hesitant to speak, it seemed that there was really something important.
Thinking of that, he stood up and said to Reene and Alice, “I’ll talk to Director Church and be back in a while.”
Seeing Jeffred respectfully following Kingsley out of the ward, Alice gloated cheerfully, “Hahaha. Director Church has always tried to bully me, but seeing him being servile to Kingsley is so satisfying!”
“You said it!” Reene nodded and said, “Even my career has become smoother since Kingsley came back…”
Just as the two girls were sighing emotionally, Kingsley and Jeffred came to the director’s office.
Jeffred motioned for Kingsley to take a seat in his chair while he stood respectfully aside.
Kingsley glanced at him and said indifferently, “What’s the matter, Director Church? We can talk now, right?”
“Yes, Mr. Nicholson. Well…” Jeffred uttered while nodding. “Stanley Kean, the president of Kean Corporation, called to invite you to dinner tomorrow. I was wondering whether you would be free to attend the event.”
“Why does Stanley want to invite me to dinner?” Kingsley asked. “I don’t think I know him, though?”
“Uhh…” Jeffred lowered his head and stammered, “H-He wants to invite Ares, the God of War…”
Hearing that, Kingsley instantly understood what was going on. The corners of his mouth twitched as he questioned, “You’re pretty quick to catch on, aren’t you? Have you already found out my identity?”
