Inside the office
Nina was elegantly sitting at the table, and writing a self-criticism report leisurely, while John was standing gloomily aside, biting a piece of tissue with fresh red blood smeared on it.
'Is the little girl a hot chili pepper? She is becoming too hot and spicy for his taste.'
John had tried his best to protect himself from being beaten by her. But time and again, he had failed in the end. This time, Nina was able to bite him hard on the lip.
The skin of his lip was bitten off, and his mouth was full of the strong smell of blood. He had no clue as to how to stop the bleeding. It would even be worse after the bleeding had stopped, because a scab would form on his lip. It would badly affect his usual stunning appearance.
The two of them were in a deadlock stalemate. Neither of them uttered a word. One looked tensed with anger, while the other one looked placidly relaxed.
About ten minutes later, Nina had carefully finished writing down a full page of report, and read it again to double check. She was satisfied with what she had written, and handed it over to John.
After finishing the report, she put the pen she had used into her bag out of habit.
John didn't notice her action.
"Sir, here is my self-criticism report that you asked for," Nina said. She was proud, but she didn't dare to show it on her face lest it antagonize John. After all, she had something to ask for later. She wanted to help her classmate who stood up for her.
John grabbed the self-criticism r
d no ambition to do so. Anyway, Albert was able to do it astonishingly well on his own.
"So, I want Henry to help me for a while, and teach me how to manage the company. As long as the branch company don't go bankrupt, and there is a little profit made, it will be enough. That would be best for both of us. That way, I won't be a threat to Albert," Adrian surmised. Albert was Adrian's younger brother. Adrian had never dared to disobey Albert before, nor did he even dare to have any outstanding performance that might outshine Albert.
If Adrian wanted to live a peaceful idyllic life, he could only idle the days and be a useless bum throughout his life.
John was keenly aware of something about the Song family. At present, everything about the Song family was under Albert's control.
And Albert was a dangerous man that should not be trifled with.
"Well, Henry should be out of the hospital soon," John agreed to Adrian's request, since Henry didn't have much on his plate anyway, and it was not very busy these days.
When Henry was made aware of this set up, he had misgivings and couldn't accept it. He almost knelt down to beg John, but before he could voice out his protest, he had already been forcefully dragged away by Adrian.
Looking at how these two men were behaving, John had slight a feeling of deja vu, as if seeing him and Nina in them.
He, however, was not as coward as Henry was.
After the two of them had left, his sister, Jessica, suddenly came unannounced, with Vivian in tow.
