Alex frowned. “I haven’t disclosed why I came here yet, and you are bent on kicking me out already?”A round-faced security guard replied, “What else could you be up to? I have seen many people like you, aren’t you the security guard from the parking lot located opposite our salon? Is it too hot outside, so you are here to scrounge for the free air conditioning? Are you even worthy to do so? Look at the expensive marbles inside, what if you soiled them, can you afford to pay for it?”“I did not come to cool myself down.”“Then, are you here to apply for the position of security guard? I am sorry, our security guards have high standards. Poor bumpkins like you are not qualified for the job. Hurry and get out of my sight as far away as possible, you are such an eyesore.”The other guard deeply agreed and chimed in, “This bumpkin right here must be envious of us so he also wants to apply to be a security guard here. Our security guards at City Salon are well-treated. Other than high s

Rumors had it that half of the male students in her high school had written love letters to her back then.Yet, after many years later, they met again.Her eyes, once intelligent and glossy, were not what they used to be. What changed was how weathered they looked now. The innocence and naivety once radiated in those eyes would never come back.“I can’t believe you still remember your former classmate.” Hannah broke out into a faint smile, like a flower in bloom, oozing charm and allure.Her face was extremely enamoring, though she only had light make-up on.Both security guards were shocked to hear Hannah’s words.The poor bumpkin who was standing right in front of them was actually Miss Nancy’s acquaintance.Damn!What should they do?Would Miss Nancy fire them over the bumpkin?With a smile on his face, Alex said, “I really didn’t expect to see you here. Do you work here now?”A trace of pride slowly crept up Hannah’s face as she said, “Yes, I am the reception manager for

Hailey headed for Alex in her heels. Never did she expect that Hannah would stop her in her tracks.In fact, Hailey did not know the reception manager at all since she had just taken over City salon. With a slight frown on her face, she immediately asked, “What do you need from me?”Actually, Hannah had been waiting to meet Hailey.That was because after the change of ownership at City Salon, Jackie Luden, who was initially in charge of the salon, left. On the other hand, Hailey was the owner of Belle Blossom, she was too occupied to take charge of both establishments. Apparently, she wanted to hire a capable general manager to manage City Salon.For Hannah, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, she had to take initiative and offer herself for the position.At this moment, after seeing Hailey taking initiative to ask her, Hannah quickly said, “Well, I heard that City Salon is looking for a general manager to manage its daily operations. I feel that I have the confidence a

“The boss that you insulted is him!” Hailey pointed at Alex.“He… he is…” Hannah widened her eyes in disbelief as she was extremely shocked.Hailey said, “Yes, Alex Rockefeller is your boss, the actual CEO of City Salon! From now on, you are fired!”“Argh!” After receiving Hailey’s firm response, Hannah was all shaken up as her face was as white as a sheet.“No, this is impossible. How could he be the owner of City Salon?”Hailey wanted nothing to do with her. “Go to the finance department and take your check now, begone!”Hannah’s legs trembled and almost collapsed onto the floor.City Salon had a bright future ahead, especially now with the addition of Lush Cosmetics, the salon raked in huge profits daily. Despite great hardships, she managed to climb up the ladder to become the reception manager. She even sacrificed her body and slept with Jackie Lundel for several times behind her boyfriend’s back to achieve her goal.However, now she was relieved of her job.She could not

“Um…”“I am sorry, I didn't mean to do it!”Alex let go of his grasp quickly and helped Hailey to get on her feet.Hailey’s face flushed as she glared at him while gritting her teeth. She lamented softly, “Who knows if you did it on purpose!”“I swear, it was unintentional.”At that very moment, Hailey screamed out of the blue again and fell onto Alex. The spot that Alex groped earlier fell into Alex’s embrace on its own, without any barriers.“Ouch, my foot hurts.”“Hm?”“I think I sprained it earlier.”Alex hurriedly replied, “Let me have a look.”He stooped and grabbed her ankle. Only then did he realize that she was wearing black pantyhose, like those that extended up to her thighs. With that garment on, he could not see the condition of her ankle. However, after observation using his Third Eye, her ankle should be fine.At most, she just sprained the soft tissues of her ankle.Alex gave it a light pinch.Hailey let out a faint cry. “Ouch.”At this moment, she heard sounds of fo

Even his heartbeat increased. A strong urge surfaced in Alex’s mind and kept pushing him to turn his head around right now to see what she was doing!“I’m done!”Just as Alex was resisting the conflicts in his mind, Hailey spoke just in time to interrupt Alex’s wild imagination.He turned around and saw the pantyhose was crumpled like a ball and rolled all the way down to her calves. She could not pull them down further by herself due to her injuries. Alex had to help and take it off in the end.After taking off the pantyhose, the condition of her legs was now clear for Alex to see.Both ankles had different degrees of swelling. The right foot was in a much serious condition where the soft tissues were badly torn. Fortunately, the bones were intact. Under such circumstances, the treatment was not too difficult.However, Alex’s attention was attracted by her toenail polish with a floral motif for several seconds.“I shall begin your treatment now!”“Sure!”Then, Alex forcefully kept h

A pair of pantyhose couldn’t be considered as a private object. Yet, it meant something else for men, especially a pair of pantyhose that had been worn by a beautiful lady. It would even make their imagination run wild.How would a man think if he saw the garments that were worn by his wife were lying next to a handsome young man on a couch? Anyway, it wasn’t a trust issue but infidelity.Fortunately, Charles did not notice such details. Otherwise, he would have misunderstood and it would surely leave a stigma in his heart, which was not a good thing for their family.He thought, ‘I need to be extra careful in situations like this.’Hailey went and poured Charles a glass of water and said, “How was the trip, darling? Alex came with good news. I am sure you will be over the moon when you hear it.”“Oh? Alex, what’s the good news?” said Charles. His expression immediately turned to surprise as he continued, “Why are you dressed like this? This security guard uniform seems to be from

Alex did not get to carefully inspect the medicinal herbs that Nathan brought over. He was reminded only when he saw the herbs scattered on the tea table and caught a whiff of their refreshing aroma upon returning to his home.‘Dragon Wood of the Fifties!’‘Twelve Bearded Barley!’‘Blood Plum!’‘Rainbow Orchid!’‘...’Alex broke out into a wide grin after inspecting the herbs.At this moment, he could see the wide network connection of the patriarch of the Pattingson family in Alaska. In just a few days, he managed to gather all of the herbs on Alex’s list, with all of them in good quality too.In fact, most of the medicinal herbs here were not meant for Nathan.With the flaming lotus reishi in hand, the concoction of Energy Recovery Pill would not be difficult.One Energy Recovery Pill could completely heal Nathan’s damaged upper energy core within an hour, but he would not do that.Both Nathan’s son and grandson were killed by Alex. Who knew what the old man was thinking?
