"You're a dead man. Kill him!" Caleb ordered his friends.

The young man who has no idea what is going on stopped them by raising his hand. He was still in pain from the double kick he received from May who has already run away with the car. He suddenly gets up.

"What are you doing? I told you to kill him!" Caleb yelled at them.

"Why should I suffer for what I know nothing about?" The man spoke up.

Caleb is more pissed, "What? You dare talk back at me? You!"

Caleb made to punch him, but he dodged it and Caleb fell to the ground. This surprised his friends, they became cautious that he may be a trained person. Judging from how dressed he is, he seems to be rich. Caleb wanted to attack him again, and failed once again.

"You shouldn't bother yourself anymore. I am a very busy person, I will overlook this if you leave now." The man warned.

"What? I'm going to kill you now!" Caleb wanted to punch him but got punched and kicked instead. Caleb almost fainted on the floor, his friends pulled him up.

"Anyone who wants to stand for him should come forward, if not, leave. I have to take care of the trouble you created."

They looked at each other, and pulled Caleb with them. He watched them leave before bringing out his phone. He checked his car location, it already stopped somewhere. It's not too far, he decided to take a cab. He called his personal assistant.

"Sir, where are you? I have been trying to reach you. Your..."

"I'm going to send you a footage soon, I want you to get information on the girl who's in the footage. I have to get my car now, she must have gotten somewhere with it." Then he hung up.

He smirked, "She's fearless, taking my car away like that."

He's never been treated like this before in his life. No one has dared to steal his car from him, it looks like she's been living under a stone. The car can literally buy her entire family, how can she go around stealing like that? No one in this city would dare annoy the H&G group. Let alone steal fearlessly from the heir and current CEO of the largest group in the country.

Some people may not know him since he hardly shows his face but his name and popularity is massive. Jared Holland, the only son and first born of the family. He has a younger sister, Stacey who is currently studying abroad. A lot of employees leak out the fact that he's attractive, hot and intelligent. He's twenty-six though he doesn't look like it.

Of course, he has that one common attribute of every CEO. He's very cold and extremely strict. That doesn't mean he treats his workers unfairly. No one has seen him in any romance before, which sometimes lead to rumors about his sexuality. Being the most powerful people, the citizen always stays out of trouble with these people.

Jared had to meet up with someone for an important business information. He doesn't usually go out by himself at times. His assistant Matt, is always following him around. He went out since it's nighttime and it's going to be quick. As soon as he finished talking to the person, he opened up his car and got kicked out of nowhere. The keys fell off his hands, and he got kicked before he could get up again.

The cab finally stopped at a lonely road. He saw his car staying at the other side of the road. She didn't even park it well. It's obvious there's no one inside. It was wide open. Did she really have no intention of stealing from him? She just did this because she was being chased.

He chuckled, "I can't believe this is where she dumped my car."

He paid the cab driver and crossed to the other side. He stared at the car, checked the outside before going inside. He found his keys in the car, and a note on the second passenger seat. He opened it only to find a very funny message inside.

- SORRY YOU'RE STUPID -

Is this her own way of apologizing for stealing someone's car? He checked his car for other things and found out she did not just leave. She took his wristwatch and a few cash he left in the car. He chuckled again, knowing she made it easy to find her. He checked his dash cam, he saw her face while driving the car. He also saw her take the watch.

"Wow, this car looks expensive. So does this watch. I guess he's really loaded, too bad. I'm taking this." She said making him laugh a bit.

"That watch is a limited edition. There's only two in this country, I'll find it in no time. I hope she knows the worth though. Funny." His patience was just being played with by this girl.

She even gave the camera the middlefinger. It seems she knows there would be camera in here after all. Then she left the car.

"I see, let's see how far you can go with that." He started the car and drove back home.

On getting home, he met his mother waiting for him in the living room. He wasn't expecting his mother to be at his house at this time, since they're always busy.

"Mom, what are you doing here at this hour?" He asked, getting a feeling of why she's here.

"Why? Can't I visit my son whenever I want?" She asked completely sarcastic.

"I know you wouldn't just come here to see me by this time mom. What is it?"

She shrugged, "Your house is so quiet, I only see the maids."

He rolled his eyes, "Here we go again."

"You know I am right son. You better be prepared by next week. Your dad prepared a blind date with a very good young lady for you. You'll like her immediately you see her."

"But I never asked for your help. I told you, I will get one when I like. Besides, I already have a girlfriend..."

"A girlfriend? Who is she? Who are her parents? What's her social status? Is she a commoner?"

Jared held his head in pain. As expected of his mother, she would always see status as more important than anything. They don't want to understand that he's still young. He graduated too fast, he took over everything at a very young age. But they won't leave him alone in terms of marriage. The whole thing makes him sick and gives him panic attacks.

"Why aren't you answering my questions? Who is she? You know our status, you must not be reckless in anything you do. The whole world is watching us. Tell me quickly."

He stood up, "You know what? I'm very tired. I just went through a stressful night. I have a long day to face at work tomorrow. Good night mom."

She frowned, "Don't tell me you'll avoid my question and leave like that."

"I'm tired." Was all he said before going to his bedroom.

"Jared! Jared!! Gosh! This brat is so annoying! I'm not giving up! You better prepare for the blind date or we'll have issues!" She stomped out of the house.

Jared watched her leave through the window. He sighed deeply. This is a never ending saga. He wished he could live a reckless life and be free for once. His mind drifted to that girl again, she seems to be enjoying her life. If only he was born to a lower family, he may not have to work so hard. It is tiring.

He takes a shower, then changes into something comfortable. He took his pills and laid on the bed. His mind could not leave that girl, she did embarrass him a lot today yet he's not so mad. If it was someone else, they'd probably be gone by now.

A phone call woke him up right when he just fell asleep. He picked up after seeing it was his assistant Matt.

"What is it?" He inquired, sleepy.

"I just found out something and I thought you should know. I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep sir."

"Just tell me already. What could be so important that you had to disturb my sleep?"

"Your father is planning a blind date..."

This made Jared angry, "I already know that. Did you call to tell me that? Don't you think you're being too slow as my assistant?"

"It's the day after tomorrow." Matt blurted out.

"What?" Jared exclaimed after having a brain freeze.

He was planning on creating a schedule for next week so he would not go, now the date has been shifted?

"I was told to clear your schedule. The entire group and shareholders know about this. They even held a meeting..."

"Wow. Random people are now holding a meeting on controlling my life? Just because I am leading the group?" He laughed in sarcasm.

"What do we do sir, it's..."

Jared hung up before Matt could finish. He sent his phone flying across the room in anger.

"I can't take this anymore. I have reached my limit!"
