Paige was utterly grateful for the fact that she got a hold of Zion’s weak spot. She thought to herself that it would be a waste if she did not put his weak spot to good use. “Oh, okay. Well, take your time then.” Paige then took a few steps closer to Zion and just as she expected, he instinctively avoided her by taking a few steps backward. Zion was constantly reminded of how Yoel touched him. Every time he saw Yoel, he felt disgusted and wanted to get away from him as much as possible. However, if Zion were to make sure his plans went successfully, he needed Yoel to sign the agreement. Hence, he hissed through his clenched jaw, “Since you’re back, you should sign the agreement.”Zion swore to God that as soon as he got his hands on the agreement, he would never want to have anything to do with Yoel anymore. He also swore that he would make sure that Yoel would be tortured by his debt collectors. “Where’s the agreement?” Paige was almost touched by Zion’s dedication. With a det
“Oh my, it’s a misunderstanding, Zion!” Seeing how her plan worked, Paige put on an innocent look and added, “I’m only hoping to learn how to manage a company from you.”“Oh come one now, Director Fabian! You think too highly of me,” Zion scoffed while avoiding Paige’s attacks and moved towards the door. Paige secretly celebrated but she dared not show it on her face. She dug her fingernails into her palms to hold back the urge of bursting into laughter and said, “That’s alright, I don’t care about small matters like these. I’m willing to learn as long as you’re willing to teach me, but if you’re not, I’ll just watch and learn from you.”Zion cursed Paige under his breath before replying with a straight face, “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Director Fabian. But I don’t have the time to teach anyone right now, please excuse me.”Zion had no other choice but to leave the scene as he did not want to put up with Yoel any longer.Paige, who did not expect Zion to make such a
Paige went back to work as usual the next morning. Upon seeing no signs of the debt collectors gathered around the office building, she was able to enter the building with no issue. When she passed by Zion, Paige greeted him. “Good morning, Zion!”The look on Zion’s face changed almost immediately the moment he heard Paige’s voice. Zion then turned around and returned to his office as if he ran away. The employees that were in the middle of a discussion with Zion followed him to his office. Upon seeing that, Paige felt as if she walked on air. She stayed in her office for the rest of the day and it was about late noon that Zion showed up at her office again. “Have you signed the document?” asked Zion while he stood right at the door. He studied Paige carefully with a defensive look on his face. Paige put on a confused look and asked, “What document? Didn’t you take it with you yesterday?”“The document that was on your table!” Zion took an entire day to mentally prepare himself
“Oh, it’s nothing!” Paige threw herself onto her bed, and feeling slightly embarrassed, she replied, “I almost fell off my chair from laughing too hard.”Estelle sighed in relief and said, “You should be careful as well, if not, Zion would be the one laughing at you instead.”“It’s alright,” Paige chuckled carefreely, “Zion literally bolts off the moment he sees me, so you don’t have to worry about him laughing at me.”Just the thought of Zion’s look on his face the moment she got closer to him, Paige burst into laughter again. Estelle was still able to hear her laugh even when she covered her mouth with the blanket. Estelle worried about how Paige might be weighed down by the burden of having to manage the Remington Group, but seeing how Paige was able to laugh her heart out, Estelle felt a sense of relief. She then said, “It’s good that you’re having fun but you should still be alert. I heard from Skyler that Zion’s eyeing the Fabians’ assets for some time and he plans to use th
Due to the mess that was left by her brother, Paige never felt wronged and aggrieved for the past twenty years of her life. Hence, she could not help but curse at her brother whenever his name was mentioned. “From what I can tell, he still has some conscience left in him. Skyler used all of his connections but he can’t seem to track Yoel,” Estelle chuckled and added, “since he seemed to look like he’s trying, I think you could cut down on the cursing at him. Who knows, he could be sneezing hard right now.” Upon hearing that, Paige felt slightly better and sighed, “Whatever, let’s stop talking about him, I get frustrated whenever I talk about him. We parted ways in a rush and I didn’t get to ask how you and the kids are doing.”“I’ve never been better,” Estelle had rosy cheeks and she looked as if she drowned in happiness. She then added, “After nine months, do come and visit me, and the baby… If you’re free.”“For sure!” Paige replied without hesitating, “it doesn’t matter how we
Skyler pulled into a smile, moved closer to her, and answered, “But I think only Paige was able to come up with this idea.” From his several interactions with the Johnsons’ family, Skyler knew that they were not to be underestimated. For Zion to be able to get out alive from the Johnsons and even keep his last name, he too must have been a tough opponent. “It’s not that difficult, really,” Estelle thought of Paige’s words and told Skyler, “all she did was show up close to him, and touch him. She’d ask if Zion wanted to use the washroom together with him.”Skyler, too, was repelled by the idea of having an intimate relationship with another man. Hence, his expression turned bitter the moment he heard Estelle’s words. On second thought, Skyler realized that he was not the one experiencing this. Hence, he immediately burst into laughter.“Paige really does have her own way,” Skyler slapped his lap to hold his laughter back around Estelle. He simply shook his head and added, “But I
On the other hand, unlike Paige, Zion was neither in a good mood nor had the time to be relaxing. Throughout the entire day, he felt as if he was stained with dirt. Not only did he have a hard time concentrating, but just the sight of anything that was related to Yoel made him feel disgusted.His secretary who entered his room to deliver some packages saw the calm and collected Manager Zion wiped his hands frantically with a box of wet wipes while cursing underneath his breath.His secretary stood silently for quite some time before finally asking, “Manager Zion, is the office not clean? Would you like me to call the cleaner over to wipe the table?”“It’s fine, leave it!” Zion said coldly, “for the rest of our meetings, make sure to arrange Yoel’s seat toward the corner of the room.”Even a blind man would be able to hear that Zion wanted to shred Yoel’ into pieces. After hesitating for a moment, the secretary chose to save himself instead of telling the truth. Feeling terrified,
Paige knew right away about what upset Zion and before she nearly burst into laughter, she cleared her throat and tried to contain her laughter. “That’s fine, I’ll go check on him. We’re after all managing the same company, and who knows, I might be able to help solve his problem.”She then waltzed to where Zion’s office was located. The rest of the employees slowly gathered around for the showdown. Zion’s secretary felt anxious as he whispered, “What if Manager Zion flips out? What should we do then?”“What else can we do?” one of the staff rolled his eyes and scoffed, “he’s the one who wants to provoke Manager Zion, so he should clean up his mess.”With a big smile on her face, Paige entered Zion’s office without even bothering to knock on the door. She then asked, “I heard that you’re in a bad mood. Well, you can always share your troubles with me, I might be able to give you some advice.”Even though she seemed to be concerned about Zion, Paige was eager to hear him out so sh
