Zeke was clad in a security guard’s uniform.
When he came to Grand Empire Group earlier this morning, he was still wearing Mia’s father’s clothes that were loose, unsightly, and also rather uncomfortable.
Thus, he simply found a set of security uniforms, putting it on.
Mia instantly assumed that Zeke was a security guard at the Grand Empire Group.
A security guard proclaiming that he could sway the higher-ups in Grand Empire Group was nothing but a complete joke.
She was certain that Zeke was a thief, so she was seemingly unfriendly when she spoke, “Zeke Williams, you’re one complicated guy, aren’t you?”
He was a thief and also a security guard, so, of course, he was a complicated person.
Zeke nodded. “Yeah.”
He thought that Mia had realized that he was the boss of Grand Empire Group.
Mia always seemed to be at a loss for words around him.
This guy admitted to it without any trace of guilt. How shameless.
Mia tugged on his security uniform and chided, “You know, you’re a disgrace to this uniform. You’re not worthy of it.”
How could a thief be worthy of becoming a security guard?
Zeke was slightly baffled.
Is there something wrong with her brain?
I’d saved your life. Forget about showing me gratitude, why the hell are you mocking me?
What an ingrate.
He could not be bothered to argue with Mia. “Take a seat,” he instructed in a bland tone.
Mia became defensive, saying, “You don’t actually think that I stood up to greet you, do you? Haha! You think too highly of yourself. You haven’t earned that respect. I thought that it was the boss who was coming in just now, that’s why I’d stood up.”
It was Zeke’s turn to be speechless.
Yeah. I am the boss.
Mia took no notice of the change in his expression and continued speaking, “Speaking of the boss of the Grand Empire Group. Zeke, I need your help. The boss is probably a big pervert, and he might try to get a little too close for comfort with me later on. If he tries anything funny, you must stop him and give me the time to escape. If you help me, I won’t hold you responsible for stealing my belongings.”
Zeke was puzzled, “Stealing your belongings? Don’t throw groundless accusations.”
“Hah! Feeling guilty?” Mia said smugly. “Stop playing dumb. I saw you stealing my stuff with my own eyes.”
Zeke indignantly pulled out some banknotes and placed them on the table. “Take two hundred and go and check your eyes at the hospital. I suspect that your eyesight is failing you. Also...”
He gave Mia a once-over before saying, “You’re overestimating yourself by thinking that the boss will be attracted to you.”
Mia exploded with anger.
She took the most pride in her looks.
However, this man had just insulted her by implying that her looks were mediocre at best. She huffed with anger and snapped, “I dare you to repeat what you’ve just said...”
Suddenly, the assistant director entered with a look of confusion. “Huh? What’s going on? Wasn’t everything fine just a while ago? Why are you both arguing now?”
Mia shot a threatening glare at Zeke. “Are you going to help me or not? If you refuse, I’ll expose your evil deed!”
“Go ahead.” Zeke replied weakly, with a helpless expression.
“Think wisely. Once I expose you, your future might very well be ruined.” Mia threatened him once again.
Jessie’s features were still lined with confusion as she asked, “What on earth is going on?”
Mia gritted her teeth and steeled her resolve. “Your security guard has stolen something from me. He’s not fit to be a security guard!”
Jessie’s expression morphed into one of curiosity. “Oh? What did he steal from you?”
Mia took a moment to formulate an answer, “He stole my necklace that’s worth one thousand.”
She did not dare to say that it was worth five hundred thousand, lest Zeke would be sent to prison for ten years if he was convicted of criminal responsibility. His life would really be ruined then.
Jessie could not help but laugh, “Boss, is Ms. Young speaking the truth?”
“Ahh...” Mia began stuttering, as shock overtook her senses. “Ms. Diaz, what... what... what did you just call him?”
