Four Seas Corporation was a local business steeped in the Web 2.0 industry

It had three subsidiaries in distinct sectorsvideo streaming, media, and dataminingbased recommender systems

With Jack at the company’s helm, Four Seas Corporation had successfully secured a substantial amount of the market, albeit it still had room for improvement compared to other local competitors in the internet industry like Penguin Group, Alibana Group, and ByteRock Group

However, Four Seas Corporation was set on pulling ahead now that Alex had procured the company in one fell swoop and was planning to drive more internet traffic

All he needed to reach that goal was money, and he had tons of it

At that moment, Jack was talking to Madison Zucker and Felicia Scott outside Alex’s office

Mr. Jefferson can be a little impatient, so talk nicely to him later. No one will be able to save you if you ever get on his wrong side,Jack reiterated as his gaze lingered on Madison’s sexy curves, regretting not being able to win the girl

He had plans to give it a shot with Madison, but her manager, Felicia, ended up pursuing him

Understood,Madison replied

By the way,Felicia suddenly said before they walked into the office, that security guard called Alex whatever who scratched Madison’s car just now has an attitude problem. Make sure you fire him. I can’t stand the sight of that man.” 

What

Jack was horrified when he heard that, but before he could reach out for the two women to stop them from going into the office, Madison had already knocked on the door and entered

With his hand still hanging in the air, Jack knew it was all too late

Dang! I’m going in with them

It’s you!Madison exclaimed in surprise when she saw Alex smoking, leaning against the chair beside the office table

Likewise, when Felicia saw Alex in the room, she reprimanded, How dare you sneak in and smoke here! That’s so brazen! I can’t believe you have the audacity to come to the chairman’s office on the sly!” 

When the situation had sunk in for Madison, she also chimed in, Speak up, now. Are you a spy from another company? Are you here to steal something from the chairman?” 

Me? A spy

Alex puffed a mouthful of smoke, staring at them in amusement

Behind the two women, the man who had just followed them in turned as pale as a sheet when he heard their accusation. Shut the f*ck up, you two!he raged

Madison and Felicia shook in fear at Jack’s outburst and could not help but look at the man, confused

1/3 

Mr. Sawyer, he’s the weird guy I told you about earlier,Felicia reminded him

Siap

Before Felicia could continue. Jack slapped her in the face. roaring lividly. Are you f*cking blind? He’s the 

chairman‘ 

Huh?” 

Their eyes widened in disbelief at the revelation

Slap

The next thing they knew, Jack had also slapped himself in the face with his head low, apologizing fearfully. I’m so sorry. Mr. Jefferson! I didn’t know what they did. It’s all my fault. I’m willing to make it up 

to you!” 

WWait. Isn’t he a security guard? How is he the chairman

Madison and Felicia began to tremble when they saw how terrified Jack was

Slap 

Quickly comprehending the situation, Felicia slapped herself in the face and begged for forgiveness. I- I’m sorry. Mr. Jefferson! We were so stupid to have spoken rudely to you. Please give us a chance to make it up to you too.” 

As she spoke, she tugged Madison’s shirt on the hem, hinting at the clueless woman to apologize

IIt’s all my fault, Mr. Jefferson. I’m so sorry. IIMadison stuttered with her head low

Alex sneered, looking at how petrified the three were. Well, you should at least be sincere when you apologize, right?” 

Felicia shuddered at his words and quickly gave Madison a cue to follow suit

When Madison finally understood the hint, she slapped herself hard in the face until her cheek turned red

I’m sorry. Mr. Jefferson. Please forgive me and give me a chance to compensate for what I did!she voiced shakily, still looking down

When Madison and Felicia had sincerely apologized for their misbehavior, Alex sucked his cigarette again and asked indifferently. So, what’s your business here today?” 

IIt’s nothing, actually. We’re just here to visit you, Mr. Jefferson. We were just wondering if you had time for a meal with us,” Felicia quickly explained

Yeah. We just wanted to invite you for a meal, Mr. Jefferson,Madison also agreed

Alex gazed at the two women quietly and finally shifted his gaze toward Jack

Mr. Jefferson, Madison Zucker is a celebrity under Volcano Media Group, while Felicia Scott is her manager. They came to me when they heard that the company had a new chairman, saying they wanted to have a meal with you.”
