Chapter 76 Happy Thanksgiving
"Getting to my office took more than a decade." Sarcasm was laced in Kingsley’s words. His eyes were still on his laptop as he typed something out.
Raymond had a tight face as he strode into the office with the pale-looking Marshal behind him.
Marshal cleared his throat in embarrassment. Raymond’s threatening words slipped into his mind again and his face turned grim. "Boss Elm..." he acknowledged and finally, Kingsley looked up from his laptop.
His eyes went from Raymond who was tucked in the corner and then, to Marshal who was standing in front of his desk.
"Raymond finally told you his piece of mind about your affairs with his late mother??" Kingsley asked, his eyes innocent. But his words sent a bunch of embarrassment to Marshal.
Marshal flushed a little. His head lowered. Raymond just kept staring at Marshal with a calm look, and calculative eyes as if watching his prey. Expecting his prey to go astray so he could strike.
A thick moment of silence flooded the room. Marshal, who was under the scrutinizing gazes of the men felt the room was closing in on him.
Kingsley’s stare made him feel rather too self-conscious, hoping he hadn’t wet His pants yet. Raymond’s killer gaze almost ripped his skin off, the heat rushed up his back, causing a deep shiver down his spine. A shiver that had nothing to do with the weather.
The tension between the trio didn’t last long. Kingsley cleared his throat. "By the way, I want you, Marshal..." he paused.
Marshal raised his gaze to meet Kingsley’s eyes halfway.
Kingsley continued. "...While bringing the photos down, I also want you to dig deep into the Raven’s group. I need to get my hands on something that can fully dirty Jack Raven’s image to the point where other shareholders are unwilling to work with him." Kingsley’s eyes flicked over to Raymond. "And you, get a good apartment for her."
