Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Jaxon Vander is a 30-year-old man with all the power in his hand.

Arrogant and cruel men are slow and hard to talk to.

It's no longer economical to talk. If Jaxon, whom he is usually called, has spoken and smiled, then be careful with him.

Because behind Jaxon's smile, there must be something hidden.

"Sir, this meeting will be held at the Paramount Hotel to discuss the construction of a new mall," said Jaxon's right-hand man Philip.

But as usual, there was no answer or anything.

Jaxon just followed the schedule. Suppose the person concerned with him is even a little late. His company will undoubtedly suffer many losses. Even if Jaxon wishes, their business will only be a name.

"And today, Miss Jessica will arrive here at 2 pm," Philip added.

"Let her be!" was his only reply.

Jessica was his forced fiancée, whom his mum and dad had arranged.

He neither rejected nor accepted. The engagement was still on, but he never answered anything.

"Tonight, you take care of that rat! I'm too lazy to get my hands dirty for a fool."

"Yes sir!" they said as they went back to work; Jaxon, the wealthy businessman, had managed to expand his sole proprietorship without the help of the big name of his family, who was already rich from his mother and father.

Jaxon successfully founded his only company called, JV Corp. Even in the underworld, Jaxon is the Hand of the Machine.

Jaxon can kill with just one slash on the head of his enemy. One person died with his head separated, so the underworld knew that it was the work of Mr J, who did not know his face.

So far, his enemies have yet to live to see what Mr J looks like.

***

Scarlett Elsher is a 23-year-old woman working at the Paramount Hotel as a Receptionist.

She is a quiet woman with gentle words. She is beautiful, has few styles, and only thinks about her work to eat tomorrow.

That's what Elsher, who is usually called Scarlett, has always cultivated.

"Scarlett, the big boss, said he's coming. We need to get ready," said her seatmate Miley.

"No, I'm not. I'm just like this," Scarlett replied.

"Come on, Scarlett; we must look good for the boss."

"I'm not."

"That's it. Whatever you want," their conversation came to a halt.

"Let's welcome the boss at the front," they prepared in the lobby to welcome the big boss.

Step! Step! Step!

Expensive loafers echoed through the hotel lobby where Scarlett worked.

Meanwhile, Mr Jaxon counted everyone who greeted him one by one.

Of the many people who greeted him, only one petite woman lowered her gaze.

He doesn't like that! Is ducking afraid or wrong?

Jaxon stopped right in front of Scarlett. At the same time, Scarlett could only see the expensive and shiny shoes standing right before her.

"Scarlett Elsher?" muttered Jaxon to himself.

"Take her to my room!" After saying that, Jaxon went straight to his room. At the same time, Scarlett could only endure her fear.

What did Scarlett do wrong? Why was she sent to Mr Jaxon's room? What does this mean? What has she done?

"Scarlett, what did you do wrong that Mr Jaxon called you into his office? Have you ever met him? Or have you made a mistake, perhaps?" implored Miley.

Scarlett could only shake her head. She had never met Jaxon, let alone done anything wrong. She didn't even know the name of their boss because Scarlett had only been working for three days after completing her studies from her father's pension and working part-time at the cafe.

"Hurry up, get there. It'll be even more complicated," Miley said.

In the end, Scarlett chooses to go to the room of the boss of the hotel owner, where she is currently working.

"Excuse me, sir..may I come in?" Scarlett was still standing at the door.

"Come in!" the masculine voice sounded cold in Scarlett's ears.

Then she walked in and caught a glimpse of the stern face of the hotel boss.

While Jaxon was staring at her with a sharp gaze, five minutes passed, and Jaxon and Scarlett were silent without opening their voices.

"Look at me!"

Beat!

Scarlett slowly looked up at the stern-faced man in front of her, who was sitting haughtily.

"Get out of my room! I'm firing you!" Scarlett's eyeballs rounded.

She's only been working for three days and was fired immediately? What wrong has she done?

Scarlett stared at the man in front of her. She felt like crying right now.

But why cry? She thought.

"Give me a clear reason why I should be fired, sir?" Scarlett asked boldly.

Jaxon just stared at her with a devilish smile on his lips.

"Because I don't need any reason to sack you!"

"But I need a reason, Sir! Give me a clear reason."

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" asked Jaxon sarcastically.

"Well, I accept this dismissal. Good day, Sir," she wouldn't want to continue working with someone like this, Mr Jaxon.

"Excuse me," Scarlett left Jaxon's room and hurriedly left.

***

Scarlett returned to the house left behind by her parents. She was riding her motorised scooter.

Meanwhile, Jaxon just stared in surprise at the woman named Scarlett.

Scarlett didn't beg at all. Jaxon hoped that she would plead with him.

Then, he looked at Philip, who was still faithfully by his side.

"Use any means to trap that woman! I want her to beg me tomorrow," Philip could only stare and nod at Jaxon's orders.

Jaxon was already attracted to that woman. He must somehow be able to bring her into his presence tomorrow!

Somehow Jaxon doesn't care that he wants Philip to bring her to his doorstep tomorrow!

"Sir, Miss Jessica has arrived at the airport," Philip said, receiving the news from his men who had gone to pick her up.

"Leave her alone! I'm sick of looking at her!"

"But sir, Mr Tristan requests that you pick up Miss Jessica in person and have dinner together at the main house."

Jaxon only glanced at him. Philip already knows, and he will prepare everything.

"How's my mum?" asked Jaxon again.

"Mrs Rachel is still the same. And I also got word that Mr Tristan is in a relationship with his secretary," Jaxon stopped his work on the documents and looked at Philip.

"Since the past few weeks! And also, Sir often stays at his secretary's apartment," Philip added.

"We're going there now!" Jaxon and Philip went straight to Jaxon's father's giant company.

No matter how cruel he is, Jaxon still loves his mum, who gave birth to him. His father had a love affair.

He even has a step-sibling from his father's mistress. And his mum still stayed with his dad. While now, his father is back to playing crazy with young women.

Damn it!
