Chapter 272
She insisted on helping me, and I got a taste of the high life.
Mia woke up too, and they dragged me to the bathroom.
They kept teasing me, and I couldn't resist.
Half an hour later, I came out satisfied, though they were a bit wobbly.
They helped me dress in the latest Versace.
Downstairs, Charles was having breakfast with his lover.
Seeing me, he said, "Come on, John!"
As I sat, he gave me a knowing look. "Enjoy last night?"
I replied, "Thanks a million, Charles. Last night was absolutely incredible."
Charles laughed. "You bet, they were gorgeous.."
As we were talking, the sisters were serving me breakfast. With every gesture, their demeanor grew more gentle and mature.
I said, "Charles, I want to take Ava and Mia with me."
"Sure," Charles said, looking at them. "You girls okay with that?"
They nodded. "Yes!"
"Great. Go sign the termination contract later. From now on, you're with John. Serve him well. He's a good guy."
"Yes, boss!" they replied.
Charles smiled at me. "They're orphans. I sponsored them through college. They're top-notch in everything."
I was surprised. No wonder they were so well-behaved.
I said, "Don't worry, Charles. I'll take good care of them."
After breakfast, I left, and they terminated their contracts.
They're talented—great drivers, fluent in three languages, tech-savvy, skilled in business planning, and trained in self-defense.
I admired their figures, which I enjoyed last night.
Ordinary guys can't beat them. Charles trained them like bodyguards, not just technicians.
I felt lucky.
"Who's better at fighting?" I asked.
"Mia," Ava said.
"Okay, Mia, you're my driver. Ava, you're my secretary," I said.
"Thank you, John," they said together.
"Let's go to the company," I said.
Even on weekends, people work. At the office, Tony pulled me aside. "John, introduce me to one of those beauties."
I said, "One's my driver and bodyguard, the other's my secretary. No girlfriends for you."
Tony's eyes widened. "You're too extravagant!"
He pointed at me. "Lucy and Rita aren't enough? Now you're adding more?"
I looked at him with disdain. "You wouldn't understand the joys of being rich."
After showing them around the company, I had HR onboard them.
I called Holly, Mia, and the finance department. "I'm forming the Everlasting Group, merging WY Media, Everlasting New Media, and Dance Fusion Hall. Plus, I own 50% of Ruyi Cosmetics in TH Tower, specializing in beauty and skincare. Ruyi Cosmetics will be our flagship product!"
"John, when did you start a cosmetics company?" Holly asked, surprised.
"I partnered with a friend," I said. "This way, we can consolidate finances, reimbursements, and taxes, saving us a lot."
For example, with collective income tax payments, we can use reasonable tax avoidance to reduce the taxed amount, saving substantial expenses over time.
"Mr. Brown will handle traditional media, Ms. Green will manage new media, Lucy will oversee the dance company, and Rita Moore will head Ruyi Cosmetics. I'll arrange a meeting for everyone."
I turned to the CFO. "Handle the licensing as soon as possible."
The CFO nodded. "Yes, John."
Ava took notes, and I felt quite pleased.
Leaving the company, I called Frank and had Mia drive me to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of North City.
Inside, a strong man was tied up, blindfolded.
Frank handed me sunglasses. "Got any info out of him?" I asked.
"He's not cooperating," Frank said.
"Is that so?" I smiled, removing the blindfold. "Want to live or die?"
When faced with violence and deceit, that sense of powerlessness is something I never want to experience again.
If being rich means enduring such grievances, I'd rather not have the money.
"If you can, kill me. You won't escape either," he said.
"You're stubborn. The other side must've offered you a lot," I said.
He glared at me, silent. I continued, "You've seen big scenes. You know the power of money. If you can do heartless things for money, others will take risks for it too."
He swallowed, his expression softening.
The toughest fortress collapses from within. "For example, if I let you go now, you won't be safe either; a truck might crash into you on your way back."
"You'll die in a car accident. Your wife will remarry, your kids will call another man daddy, and your elderly parents will be bullied. You will leave this world alone and destitute."
"Even if you're an orphan, I won't go easy on you.."
His eyes panicked, his face trembling. He was breaking down.
I continued. "Or, I could bury you alive or throw you into a crematorium."
Before I finished, he broke down, trembling. "Don't kill me! I'll cooperate."
