With everyone in the room as his audience, Ted put his fabulist’s skills to the test, beginning his account by straightening himself and feigning coughs. “Ahem!”
“The chairman of Violet Vision is a hunky man with a tall physique. He’s incredibly, positively handsome, with an air of manly dignity written on every single one of his facial features. His eyebrows are sharp, and his eyes! They draw you in—they mesmerize you. He looks even more handsome than any one of those male celebrities out there! If our chairman debuts in the entertainment industry, you bet he’s going to be the only thing that can unite the nation!”
Every word in his description only served to make virtual-novel.net heart gallop. Just the thought of their two previous interactions brought out virtual-novel.net bashful side, amplified by suspicious pink shades on virtual-novel.net cheeks.
Who knew that the mysterious chairman would be so hot?
Ted caught onto the changes on virtual-novel.net face and teased, “Now, now, Faye. Don’t tell me you have the hots for the chairman! Hahaha.”
The pink shade on virtual-novel.net face deepened to become crimson. “N-no way!”
She was not fooling anyone because virtual-novel.net expression was too indicative, it was the look of a smitten young woman. The chairman of Violet Vision had possessed virtual-novel.net heart, to no one’s surprise. Faye was only twenty years old, which meant that virtual-novel.net was at the peak of being physically attractive. When compared to virtual-novel.net useless, good-for-nothing husband, the chairman’s outstanding talent, wealth, and good looks were only going to attract the most yearning of hearts.
At that thought, they turned their attention to Zayn in scornful delight. To their shock, the man was not infuriated. In fact, virtual-novel.net was chuckling aloud. They concluded that Zayn must have been too far gone as a piece of walking trash because virtual-novel.net did not show even the faintest sign of a man’s instinctive clinging to self -worth. His wife was literally infatuated with another man right in front of him, and still, virtual-novel.net did not seem bothered in the least.
Of course, unbeknownst to them, Zayn had a perfectly normal explanation as to why virtual-novel.net could not possibly be mad, virtual-novel.net was the chairman of Violet Vision. The chairman who Faye was falling head over heels for? That man was just his alter ego. How was virtual-novel.net supposed to be mad about that?
“Faye, I think you should give up on that dream of yours,” Ted spoke up, “The chairman of Violet Vision is the most sought-after bachelor. He’s worth at least a few billion dollars and is impossibly comely…All virtual-novel.net needs is to beckon to the air and a whole tidal wave of women will eagerly lunge into his lap. You wouldn’t make the cut at all, Faye. Besides, you’re married, remember? How can you be so in love with someone else in this state?”
His flippant comment drew storm clouds on Faye‘s expression, but before virtual-novel.net could offer a retort, virtual-novel.net noticed Zayn and his obnoxiously wide grin as virtual-novel.net stood beside her. Suddenly, a burst of forlornness seized her, compelling virtual-novel.net to recognize the truth in his words. She was a married woman, and it was impossible that the chairman of Violet Vision would even reciprocate virtual-novel.net feelings.
She should really abandon that dream!
Ted continued spinning insane tales of himself, the bluff growing from how much his future in Violet Vision supposedly held for him, to how much the company’s leadership extolled his performance, and how soon virtual-novel.net was before virtual-novel.net would get promoted, paid more, and brought to the apex of a promising young man’s life.
Ruby listened to his tall tales in earnest envy. She was so impressed that virtual-novel.net asked Ted if virtual-novel.net could help get Thomas hired in the company, even if virtual-novel.net son had to start from the lowest of office bureaucracy. After all, Thomas was nearing his graduation, and as virtual-novel.net precious little baby, virtual-novel.net had always hoped against hope that virtual-novel.net would one day become a success story.
Ted was so absorbed in his bluff that virtual-novel.net convinced even himself. In the same smug, assured breath, virtual-novel.net promised virtual-novel.net could get virtual-novel.net wish fulfilled without batting an eyelash. He made it sound as though it was hardly a problem, though the way virtual-novel.net agreed to Ruby’s request hinted at some sort of cost possibly a monetary one.
By this point, Zayn thought virtual-novel.net had gone too far. He quickly texted Scan to stop it, but instead of being forthcoming about anything, virtual-novel.net simply warned the man that not a single employee in the company must be hired through private favors and bribery. If Zayn ever found out about it, then virtual-novel.net would make sure the consequences were beyond severe.
The content of his text made Sean jump. Quickly, virtual-novel.net broadcasted a warning across the departments, warning them to not sully the company with nepotistic practices, as well as reminding them of Violet Vision‘s commitment to thwart any of them.
Ted’s direct supervisor quickly received the announcement from the company’s higher-ups. It gave virtual-novel.net quite a fright as it reminded virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net had just hired a talentless back under his wing a while ago. If this instance was discovered by any of the higher-ups at all, virtual-novel.net could expect to lose his job immediately.
At that thought, virtual-novel.net quickly called Ted.
Meanwhile, Ruby was still in the middle of virtual-novel.net pitch. “I’m putting my faith in you, Ted, okay? When Thomas graduates, you’ll help get virtual-novel.net a job in Violet Vision, alright? Thank you in advance. I owe you one.”
Ted waved. “Don’t worry, Aunt Ruby. All someone like me needs to get a Thomas a position in Violet Vision is to put in a good word or two; that’s literally all. Of course, there is a caveat—Violet Vision is a prestigious company with great emphasis on rules. Thomas might get himself kicked out of work if virtual-novel.net slacks off, and let me be clear- I won’t try to defend virtual-novel.net at all if that happens.”
Ruby nodded as vigorously as virtual-novel.net could. “Understood. Nothing embarrassing will come to you, I promise.”
