A Man Like None Other

Chapter 110

“Why are you guys shooting the breeze here instead of working when it’s still office hours? Do you want me to dock your pay?” Zayne roared at the group of sales representatives as he stepped out of his office. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

At that, everyone hastily returned to their desks. One of the sales representatives told Zayne, “Mr. Carlson, Kai went to collect Dexter Murphy’s debt.”

Hearing that, Zayne was stunned for a moment before gloating. “He doesn’t even mind risking his life just to flaunt his capabilities, huh? If he manages to collect the debt, I’ll drink all the water in the toilet bowl!”

A second after his words rang out, Troy returned with sweat dripping off his face and a black bag in his hand.

When Maria caught sight of him, she demanded urgently, “Troy, where’s Hilda?”

Troy snagged a bottle of water on the table and finished it in a single breath. Then, he exhaled deeply before relating everything that had happened.

The instant they heard that the bag contained a million in arrears, they all wore astonished expressions.

Zayne even tore the bag open in disbelief, causing bills to scatter all over the ground.

At that sight, his expression turned as black as thunder. Thinking that Kai would never succeed in collecting the debt, he had even declared that he would drink all the water in the toilet bowl if the man managed to do so. Hence, that was a slap in the face to him.

“Hilda is too smitten with him. I really don’t understand what’s so great about Kai!” Lydia grumbled in perplexity when she heard that Hilda stayed to wait for Kai.

Maria was also worried about Hilda. As for Kai, no one was bothered about him.

While everyone was feeling sorry for Hilda, Kai returned with her.

Upon seeing that he was unscathed, everyone was very much surprised.

“Were you not beaten up, Kai?” Zayne asked dubiously.

“It’s only right and proper to repay one’s debt. Why would they beat me up? It should be the other way round!” Kai sneered.

Meanwhile, Maria went over to Hilda. “Are you okay, Hilda? You don’t look all too well. Don’t go with him anymore in the future.”

“I’m fine, Maria.” Hilda flashed her a smile.

“Kai, since you’re so skilled at collecting arrears, you’ll be responsible for all the arrears in the future. That’ll be your only job scope!”

Seizing the opportunity, Zayne handed all the sales department’s arrears to Kai.

Kai did not decline either since he would be doing so even if the man did not hand them to him. After all, that was his money.

His acquiescence had surprise inundating Zayne. Nonetheless, he was inwardly jumping for joy. If he manages to collect all the arrears, I’m sure to get a windfall in commission!

At noon, Xavier sat at a table by the window in a restaurant near Sentiment Chemical Limited, waiting for someone eagerly.

Shortly after, Josephine strolled into the restaurant with a bag on her shoulders. The moment Xavier spotted her, he quickly sprang to his feet and waved at her. “Over here, Josephine!”

Josephine strode over with an indifferent expression and sat down across from him. “Why did you ask me out?”

“I just feel that it’s been a long time since I last saw you, so I’d like to treat you to a meal, Josephine,” he replied fawningly.

“I’m leaving if there’s nothing important.” While saying that, Josephine was prepared to stand up.

Seeing that, Xavier hurriedly stopped her. “No, no! There’s something important! Josephine, you know my feelings for you. I’ve never loved another woman all these years. Can you please—”

“No.” Josephine cut him off before he had even finished speaking, asserting, “Xavier, I hope you’re aware of your place. You’re just a manager employed by my family. I can dismiss you anytime! You’d better place your focus on your work instead of having any more delusions about me!”

Her expression was chilly, and her tone was frosty as well. That had Xavier’s expression changing imperceptibly.
