Chapter 05

"Please give me a moment to explain."  said Jackson lowly.  "I just want to say that I will give you the position of CEO of Leopard Enterprise, Carver."

"If you're still not ready to get engaged to Clara, daddy isn't going to force you," Jackson added.

But that won't change Carver's mindset and life.  Where Carver has bonded as Violeth's husband.  Carver is not going to betray Edward Fletcher who saved him from a two million dollar debt.

Carver gives reason to answer his father.

"No, I don't want to accept that. I'm already working and can't just leave my job because I'm under contract."  Carver lies even though he needs a good idea so his father doesn't suspect anything.

"Father will take care of your workplace so that you quickly become the CEO of the company Leopard Enterprise. Don't let a trash job with a small salary make you lose your position as CEO," Jackson said.

"But I don't want to be betrothed to Clara, because I already..."

Carver almost let slip when he already had a wife.  But luckily he immediately stopped talking when he remembered that.

"Don't say you already have a partner. But even if you do, you can still break up with him, then approach Clara," Jackson persuaded.

"You can't. Why can't daddy say it easily? Dad suddenly appears in front of me, then arranges my life, what kind of game is this?"  Carver said firmly.

"Carver, you have to. This is all for your future!"  Jackson started pushing on a high note.

Carver rises from his seat, irritated by the attitude of the man who just claimed to be his father, and wants to get his life under control.

"Carver, that's not what I meant. I just want you to have a better life after living in misery for decades."

"I don't need luxuries. If I were offered the position of Director in this company, I would not accept it."  Carver without saying goodbye headed straight for the exit.

Carver leaves the room.  He is used to living like a tramp.  In the past, he sold snacks and coffee to support himself and his younger sibling.

Since knowing Edward, his life began to fulfill.  The two million dollar debt had been repaid by Edward when Carver was on the verge of going to jail.  Even now his monthly salary as son-in-law is paid by the Williams family up to a thousand dollars and is enough to live on for a month.

Edward pays Carver his time as son-in-law.  Edward even asked Carver to be Violeth's husband for life, it was a sign that Carver would get guaranteed life for the rest of his life.

Carver came down the stairs quickly, when Richard, who was standing below, looked at Carver.

"Young Master Carver, where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"  asked Ricard, moving closer to try to block Carver's way.

"Don't call me 'Young Master', I am nothing and get out of here!"

Carver is very exasperated by his current situation.  It didn't take long for him to push Richard to the ground.

Fall ....

Richard hit the table, but fortunately there were no injuries from falling and hitting the table.

As Carver was walking back towards the exit, suddenly two security officers appeared and immediately grabbed Carver's hand for his actions that dared to riot.

The two security guards think Carver is just a foreigner who wants to make trouble at Leopard Enterprise.

"Shit! What do you mean to riot here?"

"You want to seek death?"

Two white uniformed security guards held Carver like a prisoner on the run.

"Let me go!"  said Carver angrily.

"I think you need to be taught a lesson," said one of the security guards.

Richard realized that young master Leopard had been caught by two of the company's security guards.  Richard rushed to order the two officers to release Carver.

Carver didn't fight back at all because if he moved even a little, security would break his arm.  Carver just asked to be released and left the place.

But....

Before Richard could order Carver's release, Jackson came from the second floor.

"Stop! What are you guys doing?"  shouted Jackson from the top of the stairs.

"We're sorry, sir. But this kid wants to riot. Mr. Richard was pushed by this man, lucky we saw him and immediately caught him," said one of the security officers.

"We must punish this child."

"Let him go! He is Carver, my son," Jackson ordered as he walked down the stairs.

The two officers were shocked, they immediately released Carver and begged for mercy.  If they don't receive pardon, they will be dismissed from the company as security guards whose salary is slightly higher than the average salary of a security guard in general.

"Sorry Mr Jackson, we didn't know this young man was Young Mr Carver," said the security guard.

Two security guards shouted apologies for the misunderstanding.

"Hurry and get out of here before I change my mind to find a replacement job for you!"  Jackson ordered.

"Yes sir. We are sorry."  The two security guards hurriedly left the place in a hurry fearing bad things from their boss.

Carver dusted off his clothes and left the scene without even seeing Jackson.

"Carver, where are you going? Do you still want to live in a slum rented house with a low-paying job? But you are leaving this luxurious house and CEO position in this company?"

Jackson couldn't stop thinking about Carver turning down the world's rarest offer.  Even all young people would choose to accept the offer when their father was a company owner rather than having to work for a small salary and live in a rundown rented house.

But Carver can't tell the truth if he's married and a member of the Fletcher family.

All company employees fell silent seeing Carver's attitude that remained in his stance.  Some employees think of Carver as someone who is not crazy about position or wealth.

“I don't need a CEO position or own a luxurious house, I'm used to living alone and earning my own money without needing help from others.  So don't push me after what daddy did all this time without caring about me, about me when I used to live as a street vendor." Carver spoke firmly without looking at his father.

"Street vendors?"

"Gosh, it's a shame a young man like Young Master Carver is becoming a street vendor to make ends meet."

Company employees whisper to each other about their boss' son telling the shameless truth about his job.

"Carver, you used to be a peddler?"  Jackson felt that being a father was pointless, to the extent that his only son became a street vendor.

A son of the owner of a company as big as Leopard Enterprise, used to be a street vendor.  And now when he meets his father, Carver Leopard doesn't want to accept the CEO position.

Carver stepped back and left the place, ignoring his father's cries for him to accept the offer.

"Sir, we can use another way," Richard persuaded Jackson.

"Another way? Do you have a plan?"  Jackson looked at Richard expectantly.

Richard nodded his head with a smile.  "Of course there is, Mr. Jackson. You don't need to worry, I will think of another plan to get Young Master Carver to agree to stay with Mr. Jackson."
