Chapter 91: Chief (2)
"Ke, ke..."
It took a while for me to catch my breath after almost choking like that, but when I did...
"Are you serious?"
It wasn’t Vanessa that answered me.
Rather, it was Reddick that came over to say, "That’s right. This was something that was discussed between the owners of the stores here and they want you to become the chief."
Then as if he had something to complain about, he muttered, "Of course, I feel that there are better choices than someone like you, but this was what the others..."
Before he could finish, he suddenly choked on his words because...
"Dad, that’s enough out of you. Get out of here, I’m talking to him."
A bitter smile appeared on Reddick’s face as he looked at Vanessa, but she still had one hand raised and looked like she was about to slap him on the back again if he said anything.
When he saw her like this, he really had no choice but to listen to her and move to the side. But he still remained close enough that he was able to hear everything that was being discussed by us.
After watching the two of them like this, I was able to calm myself a bit.
But I still had to admit that I was quite shaken by their suggestion.
