Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 373

"No, he doesn't."

"Honestly, I don't think he looks much like a big boss either," Ron puffed out his chest, standing taller like he was comparing himself. "I mean, come on, look at me. In terms of body and presence, how could he ever compete with this?"

I rolled my eyes. "But, like, he's the one who invested all the money to start the company, right?"

"Yup, he's the real majority shareholder," Ron said. "Me?" He chuckled, "I may look like I run things, but I'm just another glorified employee-same as you and Hayden."

His easy, playful tone actually made him seem pretty down-to-earth.

"Then why doesn't he run the company himself?" I asked, still not totally getting it.

Ron scoffed. "What, are you dense? The guy's loaded. He owns a bunch of companies. Who has the time to micromanage all of them?"

I glanced back at the private room door, still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the short, stocky guy inside was some rich business mogul.

I'd spent years around the upper crust with the Johnstons, so I knew the big players. But I'd never heard of anyone with the last name Hart being this powerful.

"You don't believe me, do you?" Ron saw right through me. "You just haven't been around long enough, that's all."

I stayed quiet.

"Our boss is the grandson of Chadwick Hart, one of the old coal barons from West Ridge," Ron continued "He might look older than he is, but he's just over thirty. With the coal business slowing down, the Hart family started branching out. Kylian might not look like much, but he's got brains." Ron tapped his temple for emphasis.
