A Man Like None Other

Chapter 115

“Zayne, you must take this opportunity and do your best to impress Mr. Jennings. If he likes you, he might offer you a managerial position in the procurement department! Now, that’s a good opportunity!” Maria encouraged.

“Yeah, don’t worry. I’ll do everything I can so that I can buy a house at Dragon Bay as our residence.” Zayne nodded enthusiastically.

Upon hearing that, a blissful smile emerged on Maria’s face.

Unlike the others, Kai was less thrilled. He frowned as he sensed that the dinner might play a part in Xavier’s plot against him. However, he couldn’t care less. Try as you may, I’m ready for it.

Within a few minutes, everyone was ready to leave for Vintage Restaurant. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Unlike the others, Hilda and Kai didn’t drive to work.

“Hilda, come. I’ll drive you!” Maria waved at Hilda.

“Thank you, Maria!” Hilda got in the car and smiled gratefully at Hilda.

“You’re welcome. Sit tight!” Maria then sped off.

“Oh no, how about Kai? We’ve left him behind, Maria.” Hilda thought Maria would offer Kai a ride as well.

“No way I’m fetching him. He’ll only dirty my car! The others are behind us, so he can bum a ride off them instead!” sniffed Maria.

Hearing that, Hilda kept mum. That’s true. Kai could just ride in any of the cars behind us.

However, none of them offered Kai a ride. Instead, each and every one of them drove past him hurriedly.

Troy, in his run-down second-hand car, meant to pull over for Kai as he approached the latter. But right behind him, Zayne kept honking for him to leave instead.

All Troy could do was cast a helpless glance at Kai before leaving him behind as well.

Following closely behind, Zayne was about to drive past Kai. Abruptly, he pulled over right next to Kai. But instead of offering him a ride, Zayne rolled down his window and mocked, “Kai, do you realize how unpopular you are? Not even one car stopped for you.”

Unstirred, Kai responded with a cold smile.

Zayne then took Kai’s silence as a weakness and said smugly, “Get yourself a taxi! Don’t worry, you can pass me the bill tomorrow. I’ll reimburse your ride.”

At the sight of Zayne gloating, Kai snorted, “Reimbursement? That’s unnecessary. Who knows I might arrive at the restaurant before you!”

“Pfft! Unless you somehow grow a pair of wings and fly, there’s no way you’ll arrive first!” Zayne burst into laughter and sped off.

As Kai watched Zayne speed off, he gathered his spiritual energy in his abdomen before transferring it toward his legs. Although he couldn’t fly yet, he could still run faster than a car.

Just before he wanted to take off, a Bentley arrived before him. It was Tommy.

Surprised by his arrival, Kai asked with a puzzled tone, “What are you doing here, Tommy?”

“My Lord, some of the debtors were so spooked that they handed over the money as soon as they heard my voice! Unfortunately, your company’s financial department has already gone off work. So I brought the money to you instead.”

It turned out that Tommy gave all the debtors a call after receiving the documents from Kai. Fearing for their lives, the debtors wanted to pay Sentiment Chemical Limited off right away. But since the financial department left the building earlier, none of them could make the payments. Hence, they gave the money to Tommy instead.

Did he come all the way here just for that? Amused, Kai chuckled and said, “There’s no rush for that. You can pass the money directly to the company tomorrow!”
