A Man Like None Other

Chapter 119

As soon as Zayne was done shouting, the door to the room flung open, and Xavier walked in immediately.

When Zayne saw Xavier, he started having cold sweats profusely. The things I said just now were so disrespectful toward him! What if he heard everything?

“M-Mr. Jennings…” Zayne was so terrified that he was trembling uncontrollably. He pulled a chair for Xavier and said, “Mr. Jennings, please have a seat.”

Xavier sat down slowly while lifting his head and asked, “Mr. Carlson, I think I’ve heard you saying that you’re the most powerful person in the sales department. Did I hear it wrongly?”

Zayne was dumbstruck. He came to his senses quickly and explained, “Mr. Jennings, I was talking nonsense. Everyone knows you have the final say in the company. Kai doesn’t know how things work around here. So, I was just teaching him a lesson.”

“Well, as long as you know who’s the boss.” Xavier’s lips curved into a smile. He then waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit. “Have a seat, everyone.”

As everyone was sitting down, Kai walked over to sit next to Xavier.

Since Kai was aware of Xavier’s intention, he wanted to size him up.

However, Zayne was annoyed at the fact that Kai was sitting next to Xavier. “Hey Kai, know your place! Do you think you have the right to sit there?”

Since it was such a rare opportunity, Zayne wanted to sit next to Xavier so that he could butter him up for a promotion. But Kai had just ruined it for him.

Everyone else was glaring at Kai as well. After all, he was just a newcomer. If anyone were to deserve to sit by Xavier’s side, it would be Zayne and Maria.

“What’s wrong? Why can’t I sit here? What right do you have to tell me where to sit?” Kai sneered.

“Kai, stop playing dumb. I know you’re doing this on purpose. Are you trying to lick Mr. Jennings’ boots? You’re just a newcomer! That seat is meant for Mr. Carlson!” Lydia was fuming as well.

Everyone in the room joined in to criticize Kai. They were saying that Kai wanted to suck up to their general manager.

From their perspectives, their emotions were well-justified because they felt that promotion should be based on seniority.

Kai took a quick glance at everyone with contempt. “Don’t force your intentions onto me! I don’t care about you bunch of bootlickers. I decide on where I want to sit. Don’t you dare to tell me otherwise!”

While sitting next to Xavier, he turned and asked sarcastically, “Mr. Jennings, am I not worthy of sitting next to you?” Come on, now. If you dare to play tricks on me, I swear I’ll make you pay.

Having heard the disrespectful remarks towards Xavier, the others were petrified.

Hilda, too, was getting worried on behalf of Kai. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Kai! Watch your tone when you speak to Mr. Jennings!”

“Get over yourself, Kai! Of course, you’re not worthy!”

“Don’t take advantage of Mr. Jennings just because he’s being friendly. Get up now, Kai!”

Everyone in the room was grumbling.

Zayne was afraid that Kai might anger Xavier with his disrespectful demeanor. “Mr. Jennings, don’t mind him. Something’s wrong with his head. Don’t get mad, Mr. Jennings.”

In response, Xavier flashed a faint smile and said, “It’s all right. Let him sit here.” He then turned to Kai with a dark gaze. “It’s good that youngsters are ballsy sometimes. But be careful, that attitude might get you hurt one day.”
