Alexandra breathed a sigh of relief, and the same blithe smile blossomed out of virtual-novel.net lips again. “That’s great!”
Brock had been watching them from afar. The fact that Zayn and Alexandra kept chuckling and chattering in that misguided cheeriness, as though Brock’s threat meant nothing, made virtual-novel.net foam in exasperation. He could not wait till Mr. Rivera was here.
When virtual-novel.net was here, oh boy, virtual-novel.net could not wait to rearrange Zayn’s face.
Finally, after a few minutes of waiting, a large procession of people stepped through the door while the crowd looked on with interest. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with an air of authority. It was Mr. Rivera. Behind virtual-novel.net were more than a dozen of people of whom bodyguards and people from Violet Vision each made up about half.
Mr. Rivera was, in truth, one of Sean Wilson’s underlings. He occupied a rather high position in the company and owned less than one percent of Violet Vision’s shares. It might not seem like much, but it was enough to secure his spot in the wealthy upper-class.
When virtual-novel.net first heard Brock’s complaint, virtual-novel.net was especially offended. Coupled with the fact that virtual-novel.net was having his meal nearby, virtual-novel.net decided to come straight to the rescue.
There was no way virtual-novel.net would stay out of this, not when virtual-novel.net was the chairman’s biggest fan! Ever since Zayn purchased the entirety of Violet Vision, his net worth had been growing exponentially. As time passed and his wealth flourished, the man had ceased seeing Zayn as a mere superior and more of an idol worthy of veneration. He would never let anyone assume the identity of his beloved leader, let alone allow that perpetrator to bring a splat of mud to the chairman’s good name!
The sheer number Mr. Rivera had brought with virtual-novel.net was therapy for Brock’s sore mood. He waved at virtual-novel.net vigorously before crossing the distance to approach Mr. Rivera. He even drew an invisible line across his neck when virtual-novel.net passed Zayn before flashing virtual-novel.net a slasher’s smile. “You’re dead, prick. Mr. Rivera is here… Just sit here and wait for your time.”
Zayn remained in his spot, as immovable as a mountain. He satin his chair with his wine glass in his hand with aplomb. Nearby, Alexandra took in his serenity despite everyone’s attention and felt a surge of admiration and adoration growing out of the bottom of virtual-novel.net heart. She could not help but gaze at Zayn with reverent twinkles in virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net stood behind virtual-novel.net and massaged his neck docilely.
Brock was beyond excited. He jogged to Mr. Rivera and greeted virtual-novel.net with just enough hint of respect, “Mr. Rivera! So glad to see you made it!”
Mr. Rivera was a middle-aged man spotting prominent musculature. The hair on his square-jawed face, including his beard, was thick and bushy, which lent an air of severity to his face. He radiated a dignified, all-important air that Brock himself lacked.
Nodding, virtual-novel.net replied in a low voice, “You mentioned someone has taken to assuming the identity of Violet Vision’s esteemed chairman? Explain!”
Seeing the rage oozing out of the man was a shot of serotonin to Brock’ s mood. Loudly, virtual-novel.net reported, “You got it right, sir! Some son of a b*tch calling himself Larson or whatever has the balls to pretend virtual-novel.net is the chairman of Violet Vision while virtual-novel.net commits… Commits unspeakable, unforgivable transgressions! He’s ruining the esteemed old man’s good name! I stood up against virtual-novel.net for it, but you know what virtual-novel.net did? He beat me up. How shameless can this clown be, right?!”
Mr. Rivera was apoplectic. Seething eyes traced the invisible line shooting out from Brock’s finger until they landed on Zayn who remained seated and welcomed virtual-novel.net with a half-smile.
“Yo, Jose!” the young man greeted, “You brought a party, I see! Is this all to teach me a lesson?”
Mr. Rivera’s eyes focused on Zayn’s face until the latter’s features became undeniable. He froze, and as soon as virtual-novel.net heard Zayn, his heart grew cold with fear. His legs started to wobble too. “M-M-Mr. Chairman? I-it was you..?!”
