Arnold was the deputy president of Perry Express. At the same time, Jordan was only the supervisor of the company's newly established training department. He was only at the level of a department manager.
In terms of position, there was no way he could compare to Arnold because he was Arnold's subordinate.
Therefore, Arnold had been throwing his weight around as Jordan's superior.
If Victoria was not around, he would have made Jordan carry his suitcase!
Jordan took Victoria's suitcase and gave her a kiss before answering Arnold's question.
"The training is going very well, and the girls are very serious about learning English. They're fast learners too. If you don't believe me, you can always go over and check on the results."
Arnold said, "I will definitely go check on them, but I have to go to the golf course now. Wait for me at the training department at this timing tomorrow. I'll go over to check personally."
Although Jordan was indignant, he nonetheless said reluctantly, "Yes, Mr. Decker."
On the other hand, Victoria asked curiously, "Since when did you play golf? Who are you going to play with?"
For many years, the two had known each other, and Victoria knew that Arnold didn't play golf.
Arnold laughed and answered, "No one, I'm just going to
play alone, haha."
He couldn't let Victoria know about Cayden's secret in the golf course, lest Victoria steal the credit from him.
Victoria was now the president of Perry Express. Still, she had lesser shares in Perry Express than Arnold, so she was just an acting president.
Audrey was still the one who was truly in power. Arnold believed that as long as he could do a good job this time, he could request Audrey and the board of directors to make him the president of Perry Express!
By then, it would finally be possible for him to subdue Victoria!
The reason being, most women would be in awe of their superiors!
After leaving the airport exit, Arnold was picked up by his chauffeur. While driving, Jordan asked Victoria, "Are you heading back to the office?"
Victoria held Jordan's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a week. Let's go home instead!"
Jordan pretended to sigh and shook his head helplessly. "Being a subordinate means you lose your human rights, and you have to go wherever your boss does."
Victoria hit Jordan lightly and said, "You don't want to go home, right? Let's go to the office then."
Jordan hurriedly laughed and said, "No, no, I'd very much like to go home! Haha."

A week later, in the golf course of Great Mountain Villas.
"Hey, Mr. Decker, we meet again. You've become
obsessed with golf lately, huh? I've seen you here thrice this week."
Cayden was dressed casually and wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses. Holding a golf club in hand, he walked towards Arnold.
When Arnold saw Cayden, he smiled and greeted, "Mr. Huxley, I know you come here often, so I've been coming here frequently too. I'm a beginner. I have to learn more from you."
Cayden suddenly found it strange because he and Arnold used to be rivals who were at odds against each other previously. Yet, Arnold now sounded like he was deliberately trying to get closer to him.
Cayden and Arnold walked to the spot where fewer people were and asked, "Arnold, how have you been doing in Perry Express lately?"
Arnold sighed and said, "Don't mention it. After suddenly acquiring Perry Express and becoming the new president, Audrey left again. Still, she let Victoria, who has only been on board for two months, become president."
"I've been working hard for years at Perry Express, and I have more shares than she does. Yet, I wasn't chosen to become the president."
