Chapter 65

“Why?” A deep and magnetic voice rang out from the door, prompting everyone to turn their attention to the speaker.

Artemis had his arms crossed before his chest as he leaned against the doorframe. With a cigarette resting between his lips, he looked like a laid-back hooligan.

Ironically, it was that handsome, bad-boy style of his that caused women to swoon over him.

After all, how could any woman resist a good-looking, rich guy who was strangely graceful yet unrestrained?

“I'll tell you why. How about because this is my turf, and I can bankrupt each and every one of you? You got a problem with that? Or do you think I don't have what it takes to fire you?” challenged Artemis. “Or perhaps I should let you be the CEO for a couple of days, huh? That way, you can actually experience what it's like to be at the top.”

“N-No!” said Janice as she hastily backed away. With a stumble, she fell into Jeremy's arms.

“J-Jeremy, please help me ask Mr. Luther for mercy. Please. I don't want to get fired! I don't!”

Jeremy's expression was grim. When he turned his attention to Janice, his eyes shone with a hint of disdain.

Rather than a girlfriend, he thought she was more like a friend with benefits because their connection had always been more physical than emotional.

Now, she had offended Artemis and was hoping he would help. She can dream on!

“You're the one responsible for the rumors in the office? There is no evidence to prove them one way or another, so why did you say all that and tarnish Ms. Bailey's reputation? I finally understand why she slapped you. You are the one who started all this drama, and she only slapped you to retaliate and teach you a lesson.”

Janice's eyes bulged. She trembled endlessly as she stared strangely at the man beside her.

Is this the man who keeps whispering into my ears about how much he loves me? So his love only exists when we're in bed, huh?

“Jeremy, y-you...”

Jeremy ignored her. He turned his attention to Dwayne and simpered, “Since Mr. Luther has already issued the order personally, Mr. Derning, I will support his decision wholeheartedly.”

Dwayne didn't reply. He simply smiled at Bailey, and the implicit message could not be clearer.
