Chapter 786
Darius patted Floyd on the shoulder. "You're one of the smarter people I've met recently."Floyd scratched his head and chuckled. "Well, I genuinely respect and admire you. I even went for an interview at West Atlantics Int'l when it was first set up, but I didn't make it through."Darius' lips twitched at this. Since setting up West Atlantics Int'l, he'd met several people who'd scored interviews but failed to get hired. He pushed this thought to the back of his mind and smiled. "Well, now that we've resolved this, there's only one thing I need of you now—get me that business plan."Floyd beamed and immediately turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned back and said to the employees who'd been watching the show, "Get the manager. Look at how long the commotion's been going on, yet he isn't even here!" The employees shuddered at the obvious anger in his words, but they couldn't do anything—the manager wasn't around!Floyd frowned when he didn't see anyone budging. No one ma

Obviously, in her eyes, Darius didn't have the money to purchase such an expensive house. Her disdain—or perhaps it was her desire for revenge—even made her forget Floyd's instructions to give Darius a unit for free. Although Darius would've ultimately paid for it, he didn't appreciate the sales girl's attitude. He narrowed his eyes in displeasure but didn't do anything. Instead, he nodded and said, "You can continue showing me the other units."The sales girl frowned and snorted. "You're such a funny guy, sir. We need to know what you're looking for before we can show anything to you. Otherwise, we'll just end up in this very situation where I show you a house worth three hundred million, though you obviously can't afford it. It's a waste of my time, and I, Alexis Brenner, refuse to do that."Pearl frowned at this. "If my memory serves me right, your boss told you to give Darius any unit he wanted for free."Alexis stared blankly at her for a few seconds, then quickly regained her co

The employees whispered among themselves at Darius' words. He smirked and crossed his arms, leaning against a table leisurely. Alexis couldn't take it anymore. She shrieked, "Listen up, Darius!" She turned to face her colleagues before continuing, "Our manager promised to marry me, so you should all think carefully about how you treat me!"Darius raised an eyebrow at this. He didn't believe the manager's words for a second but couldn't control what these employees thought. To his surprise, they all believed Alexis. He frowned, trying to think of a way to end this farce, when a young woman dressed in a janitor's uniform said in a small voice, "I can give it a shot."When she stepped forward, Darius suddenly sensed overwhelming fear in Alexis. She screeched, "What are you doing? What do you know? You're nothing but a janitor, so do what you were hired to do! This has nothing to do with you!"Darius crossed his arms and watched her scornfully. "I think everyone can sense how terrified yo

"She's a poor thing, and I really want to help her. What can I do for her?" Pearl said. Darius smiled at this and glanced at the janitor, whose face was red as tears rolled down her cheeks.As Pearl approached her, she dropped to her knees and grabbed Pearl's sleeve, crying, "I can't thank you enough for your offer, but that's not what I need help with. I…I wanted to ask whether you could help with my brother's medical fees. My parents are the ones who should be dealing with it, but…" She trailed off and started sobbing.At the mention of medical fees, Pearl nodded without hesitation. "Of course, I can. Give me your bank account number; I'll transfer the money to you within ten minutes."The janitor's eyes shone before thanking Pearl and Darius profusely. "Thank you both for your help! If my brother makes it out of the operating theater, I'll carve a statue of both of you and put it on his bedside table so he'll never forget about you!"Darius' lips twitched at this. This was the wors

Darcy smiled as she spoke. It looked like one couldn't believe everything they heard—Darius could purchase a house worth three hundred million, yet rumor had it he was living in squalor.Darius seemed to know what she was thinking and rubbed his nose awkwardly. It looked like he had yet to return to the Reid family when Darcy was forced to drop out temporarily, so her impression of him was still stuck on him being poor. He shook his head and smiled but didn't say anything. Darcy led them to the person who handled the signing of contracts. She was waiting for them and rubbing her hands expectantly. When she saw Darius, she smiled brightly, almost revealing all her teeth.Darius found this amusing and couldn't help smiling faintly. He sat down and put his credit card on the table. When he pulled his credit card out, he heard the woman standing opposite him gulp. At the same time, her eyes practically glowed as she gazed at him. Darius shook his head. "Alright, hand me the contract so I

"Once Mr. Davis gives the green light, I'll immediately kick Alexis out of here. If Mr. Davis doesn't say anything, all I can do is apologize to you," said the head security guard.Darius raised an eyebrow, then said scornfully, "I guess you ultimately chose your manager over Floyd." He stood up. "If that's the case, I have nothing else to say." He turned to leave.Sweat beaded on the head security guard's forehead, and he gulped. At the same time, he hurried to stop Darius. "Sir, I know you may be upset by what's happened, but I think this can all be resolved with a proper conversation."Darius stared him down. "You saw how Alexis refused to give the house to me for free, right? So, I decided to pay for it myself. Yet, she insists my card is fake. I can't pay for the house because she won't allow it, and you refuse to kick her out. That means I won't be able to pay for the house or get it for free as promised by Floyd."The head security guard looked like he was in a dilemma. He lowe

The head security guard nodded and smiled at Darius. "Yes, sir. I'm sorry for my error in judgment." With that, he marched toward Alexis and stretched out an arm toward the building's entrance. "Miss Alexis Brenner, this isn't somewhere you can linger anymore. Even if you want to return, it'll have to wait until after Mr. Reid has settled the payment for his house and left the building."Alexis trembled violently and stared at him in disbelief. "How dare you treat me like this! I treated you well in the past, didn't I? My boyfriend and I just had a fight, yet you're already treating me like trash. Once we kiss and make up, he'll definitely avenge me!"The head security guard gave her a pitiful look. "The manager is already married. The fact that he hung up on you without another word is enough to show he won't divorce his wife to marry you." He stretched his arm out again. "Miss Brenner, please leave the building of your own volition. If you do so, you can return without any argument

Darius patted Pearl on the shoulder and said, "There's nothing to be jealous about. No one would compare the two of you to each other. I just think she's intelligent, brave, and, most importantly, kind. She's a good fit for West Atlantics Int'l, so I had Erin investigate her. If there's nothing fishy in her past, she can join the company in the future instead of being relegated to doing a janitor's work despite being outstanding. She ended up here because someone was out to get her; this isn't where she should be."Pearl couldn't help feeling even more jealous. She looked at him and said, "You're protecting her. I believe there are many people who possess the qualities you mentioned, but I don't see you helping them out."Darius wasn't offended by her retort. He smiled and said calmly, "Your father's done a good job protecting you. I'll be honest with you—among all the people you see here today, only one possesses all the qualities I mentioned, and that's Darcy."As his words fell, th
