The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 11

Just then, Felix's phone rang. When Sasha and the others saw the caller ID, their fury was immediately extinguished.

A phone call from Wendy Kinsley?

Everyone knew of Wendy. She was the daughter of the richest man here, the drop-dead gorgeous CEO of Avesburgh, and the dream woman of countless men. Just this guy? Did he really have access to Wendy's mobile? That was beyond belief.

At this point, Felix had already stepped aside to answer the call.

"Are you here?"

"In a few minutes, F-Felix. Since you're there, I've made a reservation at Zenith Pavilion. We can talk there. It's quite quiet. There's no need to change locations."

Although she had Felix's permission to address him by his given name, Wendy still felt distinctly uncomfortable.

"Okay. I'll head over now."

When he hung up, Sasha was about to burst into flames.

"Felix Zeller! Are you not done yet? First, you show off with an edited image. Then, you hire someone to pretend to be the richest man's daughter and call you at such a critical moment.

"Do you think you can manifest these fake things into reality? If you think that's how you can win my favor, you need to stop dreaming!" 1

Felix thought they were thoroughly hopeless. He had revealed so many hints already, yet their arrogant attitudes remained steadfast.

Naturally, he didn't think any further attempts at explaining would yield any results. It would be a mere waste of breath. Hence, he headed outside and grabbed a server.

"Please take me to Zenith Pavilion."

"Yes, sir. This way, please."
