Sir Ares, Goodnight

As he spoke, the door was pushed open and an attractive secretary poked her head through.

The secretary respectfully said, "Mr. Ares, there is a pretty lady here for you." She sounded rather excited and gossipy.

Grayson told her off, "Don't you know that Mr. Ares's office prohibits females from entering arbitrarily? Send her away."

Jay actually wondered momentarily if it was the accursed woman, Rose. However, when he heard the secretary describing the woman as pretty, he dismissed the thought.

'That mundane and shapeless Rose with her dated style could never be described with that word.'

The secretary closed the door and returned to the reception desk. She said demurely, "I'm sorry, Miss. Mr. Ares isn't accepting guests now."

Rose lifted her chestnut curls and took a deep breath to suppress her anger. Then she huffed, "Your president invited me himself. What's the meaning of him turning me away now? I've already done my part and surrendered. Why is he treating me like I'm less than a human being?" 2

The secretary was stunned. In all her years of working in Grand Asia, that was the first time she had ever

heard someone insult Mr. Ares so courageously.

Jay and Grayson walked out of the office and headed to the elevator. On the way, they heard Rose's raised voice and turned around to see what was happening a t the secretary's desk. When the secretary noticed the annoyed and bloodthirsty look in Mr. Ares's eyes, she quickly pretended to organize her desk.

Jay stood directly behind Rose as she remorselessly continued to list out his wrongdoings. "The customer is always right. If it wasn't for our money paying him, how would he run his business?" 2 "Oh, Rose..." Jay growled her name from behind through gritted teeth.

Rose almost fell to the ground from the sudden voice. She whirled around to see Jay with his hands in his pockets, glaring daggers at her. The only thing Rose could do was smile sheepishly at him.

'F*ck.' She had been full of resentment and needed to vent. The thought of Jay not allowing any women near him made her so exasperated that she could not help but ridicule everything about Jay to the sweet secretary of his. Much to her surprise and dismay, Mr. Ares caught her in the act. 2

She wondered if the misfortunes were piling up on her because she did not pray to the gods before leaving the house.
