Chapter 284 Am I Scary?
When Jason stepped into the office, he saw that his boss was leaning against his chair.
The man's tie was slightly undone. Jason was surprised to see that he seemed dejected, as though theworld had abandoned him.
Jason thought that his boss had overworked himself.
After handling the incident in Western Europe, the boss immediately took a flight back to A City.novelbin
Back at the company, he attended several meetings in which he had to make important decisions.Perhaps he had not slept well for a few days in a row; after all, he was a workaholic. However, Jasoncould not remember that his boss was ever so dejected.
"Mr. Crawford..." Jason took out his notebook and prepared to report business updates to Luke.
He instantly shut his mouth when he noticed that Luke's eyes were closed, perhaps resting.
Jason looked at Luke's face carefully. His gaze was filled with admiration and respect.
As CEO of T Corporation, Luke Crawford had always been resolute and assertive.
Not only did he have natural-born intelligence, but he also had acquired leadership and managementskills.
When he took over T Corporation at twenty-one years old, it was on the brink of ruin.
In a few years, Jason witnessed with his own eyes how his boss had increased the company's profitsby several hundred times and grown it to be a multinational conglomerate.
At the same time, he also witnessed how Luke had changed from a positive and gentle youth tobecome a cold and ruthless man. He regained some of his humanity after meeting Ms. Rayne, thoughlast night's incident seemed to have reversed things.
Jason could not understand why Bianca would end up pinned under Xavier's body, despite his bossloving her so much.
He knew that Bianca was set up and drugged, but he was uneasy that she had been gullible enough tofall into Xavier's trap. She would not be able to stand beside Luke at the peak of his career.
Luke needed an intelligent and assertive woman so that they could grow T Corporation to greaterheights. Bianca was not like that.
'Mr. Doyle." Luke's resonant voice broke the silence of the office and also brought Jason out of his quietcontemplation.
"Yes, Mr. Crawford." Jason stood up straight and took out his notebook once more.
Luke opened his eyes and said coldly, "Get HR to send an email to all employees that Manager Olsonof the work safety department shall be terminated with immediate effect for neglecting his duty andnearly causing an accident in the newly-constructed Friendship Mall."
Jason jotted it down in his notebook without hesitation. “Yes." 'Tell the executive directorthat I'm veryinterested inTeskell Corporation's newly developed energy source, and I want a dossier on thatcompany in a week. Also, prepare a merger and acquisition proposal forthat company." "Yes."
The boss was usually interested in two types of companies. Either they were very profitable, or thattheir boss had offended Luke.
The former would usually end in acquisition, while the latter in complete annihilation.
T Corporation spent a lot of money on charity activities, but Luke was not a charitable man. Thebusiness world was a harsh one. If one did not crush another while the latter thrived, the former wouldeventually be crushed.
"Don't set up any appointments for me in the next few days, and cancel the meeting with JK Corp thisafternoon. Contact Percy Mallory and tell him that I have something to discuss with him.' Luke's eyeswere fully open.
The gloom on his face became more and more intense. It was a spine- chilling sight.
Jason was caught by surprise. He nearly dropped the notebook in his hands.
Luke remembered how Bianca had feared him. He glared at Jason and said, "Am I scary, Mr. Doyle?"
He had to save Nina today.
Otherwise, Bianca would remember that grudge forever.
He was indeed culpable for what happened last night. Bianca had been a victim, yet he continued tobully her.
He was not sure how to placate Bianca yet.
Even though Luke might be a force to be reckoned with in the business world, he was helpless againstBianca.
'No, you're not scary." Jason was almost breaking out in cold sweat. "I'll contact Mr. Mallory right now,Mr. Crawford."
At almost forty years old, Jason was more mentally resilient than most other people, and he quicklyresumed his composure. However, he almost could not withstand his boss's terrifying expression
earlier.
Luke's gaze could kill. Even if one did not die, they would be horribly maimed.
Moreover, what was most painful was the process and not the result.
At the hospital.
Xavier was heavily injured. His head was wrapped in blood-stained bandages, his youthful andhandsome face was bruised, and his eyes were swollen shut.
Even his parents could not recognize him at first glance.
His most serious injuries were internal.
Luke had broken four of Xavier’s ribs and had impaled his palm with the wine glass. The doctor spentmore than half an hour trying to remove all the glass shards with a pair of tweezers.
Xavier was lying on the bed hooked to an IV drip. Not a single trace of vitality could be seen.
Daniel and Lacey, his parents, sat by the bed, worrying so much about their only son that their hair wasturning white, i
Lacey felt as though someone had scooped a bloody hole in her heart with a knife. No matter howmisbehaved Xavier might be, he was nevertheless her son, and she could not bear to see him suffer.
Lacey wiped tears off her face with a handkerchief. "Who is the merciless wretch that did this to myson?" She wailed.
Daniel was livid.
Xavier had been causing trouble ever since he knew how to walk, and Daniel had to clean up after him.
He had even burned several bridges to protect his son. He gnashed his teeth when he saw his son inthat pathetic state. If he knew that Xavier was going to end up like that, he should have come into asock!
"That's enough of your wailing. You're the one who spoiled him! I told you that you shouldn't havepampered him, but you don’t listen. He wouldn’t have ended up like this if you hadn't spoiled him. Hejust got out of prison, and what did he get himself into this time? Do you think he'd be like this if hehadn't made those friends?" Daniel wanted to throw something out of the window when he saw thatLacey was inconsolable.
He was angry when he remembered how Lacey had pampered his son.
It was too late to discipline the child now. The bad habits were already rooted in his personality.
Daniel thought that Xavier's good-for-nothing friends had landed him into trouble again...
