Chapter 18 A Sincere Apology
Four Seas Corporation was a local business steeped in the Web 2.0 industry.
It had three subsidiaries in distinct sectors–video streaming, media, and data–mining–based recommender systems.
With Jack at the company’s helm, Four Seas Corporation had successfully secured a substantial amount of the market, albeit it still had room for improvement compared to other local competitors in the internet industry like Penguin Group, Alibana Group, and ByteRock Group.
However, Four Seas Corporation was set on pulling ahead now that Alex had procured the company in one fell swoop and was planning to drive more internet traffic.
All he needed to reach that goal was money, and he had tons of it.
At that moment, Jack was talking to Madison Zucker and Felicia Scott outside Alex’s office.
“Mr. Jefferson can be a little impatient, so talk nicely to him later. No one will be able to save you if you ever get on his wrong side,” Jack reiterated as his gaze lingered on Madison’s sexy curves, regretting not being able to win the girl.
He had plans to give it a shot with Madison, but her manager, Felicia, ended up pursuing him.
“Understood,” Madison replied.
“By the way,” Felicia suddenly said before they walked into the office, “that security guard called Alex whatever who scratched Madison’s car just now has an attitude problem. Make sure you fire him. I can’t stand the sight of that man.”
What?
Jack was horrified when he heard that, but before he could reach out for the two women to stop them from going into the office, Madison had already knocked on the door and entered.
With his hand still hanging in the air, Jack knew it was all too late.
Dang! I’m going in with them.
“It’s you!” Madison exclaimed in surprise when she saw Alex smoking, leaning against the chair beside the office table.
