The matured lady nodded. “That’s right. If you are familiar with his name, then you should be well aware of his capabilities. Linton Group’s business is growing at an exponential rate. His achievements are considered a miracle in the business world. Even Hades and his 8 infamous followers attended the inauguration of the construction project under his management. Each of them presented Zeke Williams with 100 million as a congratulatory gift. Moreover, a military officer addressed him as ‘Sir’ in public...”
“Alright, stop,” said Zeke. “What are you trying to say, actually?”
“I am actually Zeke Williams’s wife! I suppose you are one of those lowly people who barely makes a living, judging from your appearance and this lousy car you’re driving. I can easily persuade my husband to offer you a job with a monthly salary of over 10 thousand or even 100 thousand. I hope you will seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become successful.”
Zeke gasped while sizing up the matured lady.
This woman’s appearance, body, and temperament are comparable to Lacey’s. Her qualities are even better than Nancy’s. But this doesn’t give her the right to latch on to me, despite how pretty she is. Why am I unaware of your status as my wife?
The matured lady advised Zeke after sensing his silence, “Consider my offer wisely. Countless people are racking their brains to get a job in Linton Group because they want to work under Zeke Williams. If you agree to help me now, I can even arrange for you to become my husband’s driver. Your future will be promising.”
Zeke interrupted her, “Can you pause for a second? My thoughts are getting tangled. Let me process this. If you are Zeke Williams’s wife and he’s as capable as you described, why don’t you ask him to pick you up?”
“My husband is a busy man with high social standing. How can I bother him with such a trivial matter?” She replied.
Zeke said to her pensively, “I am not sure if you’re telling the truth, but that is a compelling offer. Fine, I will help you this time. But you must remember to arrange a job for me as Zeke Williams’s driver.”
“No problem.” She nodded.
Her cold expression did not reflect the exhilaration she was feeling.
Zeke asked the matured lady to stay beside the car while he walked up to the traffic officers. Then he scanned through her profile.
That lady’s name was Sharon Edward. She was the president of a small entertainment company. She drove past the exit because she was in a rush earlier. So Sharon made an illegal U-turn which was deemed as reckless driving. That was the reason why the officers detained her driving license and vehicle registration certificate.
The captain returned Sharon’s identifications and car keys to Zeke after Zeke informed him of his intention.
Zeke thanked the captain before returning to his car with the items in his hands. Then he tossed Sharon’s belongings to her. “Do not forget about our deal.”
Sharon got into her car, started the engine, floored the accelerator, and sped off in one fluid motion without saying a word.
She picked up her speed in an attempt to shake Zeke off her tail. What a joke. I’m not even acquainted with Zeke Williams, not to mention arranging a driver’s job for that man. The most important thing for me to do now is to flee.
Zeke knew Sharon was planning to break the promise. So he followed her. I cannot let her off the hook so easily. Otherwise, she will continue to use this excuse to get her way. Things will get ugly if Lacey misunderstands me.
Halfway through his pursuit, Zeke received a phone call from Lone Wolf all of a sudden.
“Bro, my informant told me Hadley Murphy is targeting him. She’s trying to figure out the whereabouts of the person from the Necromancer Assassination Organization whom we captured.”
Zeke put on a faint smile. “She’s taking action now? Hm, excellent. Disclose some hints for her.”
“Bro, are you planning to let Hadley rescue the assassin?”
“No. I want her to fall into our trap.”
“Understood.” Lone Wolf replied.
