Chapter 21 Is Your Chairman A Jefferson
When she noticed Jessica’s look of despise, Heather hurriedly changed the subject, “Jessica, are you here to buy a car?”
Jessica nodded, “That’s right! My mom gave me five hundred grand to buy a car when she learned that I got a job. Oh, are you here to get a car as well?”
Heather’s face flushed red.
The Jennings family had not been earning as much profit in recent years, and Heather’s family did not own any shares. Besides, after buying a house, they would not have much money to spend after paying for the monthly installments.
Hence, it was not possible to afford a car.
Although she had one million at hand, she needed to save it for her family.
Her son had started schooling, so their expenses would only increase from here.
Previously, Demi had given her son five percent of the shares, but if the Jennings family did not profit, they would not get any dividends either.
She had prepared to compensate Alex one million after divorcing him, but now that she no longer wanted a divorce, she would save that for her child.
“Heather isn’t here to buy a car today,” Luke explained.
“She’s not?” Jessica was confused. Then what is she doing at a car dealership then? To take selfies and show off?
She shook her head. That’s not the Heather I know.
“However, I’m not sure why her good-for-nothing husband is here,” Luke jeered.
“He said that he was here to purchase a car,” one of the dealers sneered.
“Buy a car?” Luke chuckled. “The cars here don’t come cheap. Will a good-for-nothing leech like you be able to afford it?”
“There isn’t a car here that I can’t afford,” Alex declared.
The moment he spoke, Heather’s eyes were filled with disappointment. Is there really a need to show off at this point in time? Stop embarrassing yourself further!
“I’ll be off then,” Heather turned to leave after casting Jessica and Luke one final glance.
Since her friend, Jessica, was the secretary to the chairman of Four Seas Corporation, Jessica should be able to introduce her to the chairman.
Most importantly, she felt the worst when Alex was trying to show off.
“Heather, wait…” Luke attempted to stop her, but Heather did not even turn back. The words remained stuck in his throat.
He then glared at Alex.
Jessica, on the other hand, shrugged and asked a dealer to show her around.
“Get out, you scum! Don’t come and pollute the air over here!” Luke snapped.
“You’re chasing me out?” Alex smiled. “You’ll regret this, Luke.”
He snorted and stormed out of the building.
“Me, regret this? You must be mad!” Luke scoffed as he watched Alex leave in his electric scooter. He then returned to his office. Alex is just a good-for-nothing who’ll be chased out of the Jennings family soon. There’s no need to bother with trash like him.
When Luke returned to his office, he noticed that it was already twenty minutes past two and that made him frown. Why isn’t the chairman of Four Seas Corporation here yet? Didn’t we agree to meet at two? Surely the chairman would be punctual?
He lit a cigarette and waited for another ten minutes. Still, no one showed up, and he started to panic.
What if he doesn’t come? I won’t be able to answer the higher-ups!
After hesitating for a moment, he dialed the manager of the project from Four Seas Corporation – Melanie Lewis.
“Ms. Lewis, why hasn’t your chairman arrived yet?” Luke asked genially.
“Our chairman went there a long time ago,” Melanie replied.
“Is that so? I didn’t see him. What car is your chairman driving?” Luke inquired in shock.
“He’s riding a worn-down electric scooter. Oh, his back tire was rammed into earlier in the morning, so it looks unstable,” Melanie described.
E-Electric scooter?
Luke was stunned. The new chairman of the Four Seas Corporation spent eight billion to buy fifty-one percent of the shares! He’s so rich, yet he rides an electric scooter?
Luke’s mind went blank. What on earth is going on?
“Oh right, my chairman likes to remain low-key,” Melanie added.
Low-key?
Alex’s figure suddenly formed in Luke’s mind. That piece of trash…
“Ms. Lewis, can I check if your chairman’s surname is Jefferson?” Luke inquired. The hand holding his cell phone had started to tremble as he prayed fervently for a negative response.
“That’s right, his name is Alex Jefferson. What’s wrong? You didn’t offend him, did you?” Melanie demanded.
As an executive in the Four Seas Corporation, she knew Alex well. Luke must’ve looked down upon Alex because he didn’t think he looked like a chairman. That’s why Alex didn’t meet him. If that’s the case, then this will probably be a major incident.
“No, of course not. Bye then.”
Luke was bewildered by this information. Impossible! How could Alex be the chairman of Four Seas Corporation?
He then hung up an bolted out of the room.
“Quick, chase the man on the electric scooter!” Luke barked at the car dealers.
“Huh?” the ladies queried in shock.
“Mr. Stanton, did that street rat steal your belongings?” one of them asked in doubt.
“Keep your mouth shut! You guys had better treat him with more respect. If you offend him again, I’ll fire the lot of you!” Luke bellowed.
The ladies were stunned and could not understand what was going on. Isn’t that piece of trash just a live-in son-in-law of the Jenningses? Why is Mr. Stanton reacting this way?
“What are you waiting for? Get him back!” Luke roared.
“R-Right,” the ladies replied in shock. They hurriedly looked for their own electric scooters and rushed in the direction Alex left in.
Suddenly, a group of beautiful ladies was speeding after Alex in electric scooters, lagging a few hundred meters behind.
Every driver on the road turned to look at this sight. It looks like those kinds of advertisements where a group of women are chasing after one man…
