“Thank you.” When he got back in the car, Yusuf Zuck softly said thank you to Ruth Wilcox through the rearview mirror.

At the same time, he took out a cigarette and lit it up, pondering for a moment before speaking, “Deduct it from my salary this month, but I still have to thank you!”

“Oh?” Hearing Yusuf Zuck’s unexpected words, Ruth Wilcox, who had been lost in thought, suddenly lifted her head and looked at him incredulously.

Had the sun risen from the west?

Yusuf Zuck wasn’t being stingy?

He actually wanted to deduct from his salary?

“Why?” Ruth Wilcox asked after thinking for a moment.

Yusuf Zuck cracked the car window to let the second-hand smoke blow out and chuckled self-deprecatingly, “I didn’t agree before because I was reluctant to spend money, and also due to some special reasons, I need money, so I’ve been living frugally.

But since I’ve decided to buy it, though somewhat forced by you, I generally don’t change my mind about things I’ve decided.

Now that I’ve bought it, and just now when I saw you paying, I suddenly felt my face turn white.

That little waitress even stole a glance at me, probably checking to see if my face was indeed pale!”

“22,000 might be a lot, but for me now, it’s just ten days’ wages.

With the wages from the remaining twenty days, I could easily get by for a year.

So, Ms.

Wilcox, I’m sorry, but this money, you must deduct from my salary!”

“I didn’t mean anything else by it.” Seeing Yusuf Zuck’s rare seriousness and solemn tone, and sensing his rather heavy mood, Ruth Wilcox lowered her voice as if she had done something wrong.

She felt she might’ve wounded Yusuf Zuck’s pride with today’s shopping.

Men have their pride and face to maintain, and bringing a plain bodyguard to buy clothes worth over twenty thousand made the bodyguard feel like his self-esteem was hurt.

In fact, twenty thousand was less than the cost of one of her hairpins, and the reason she brought Yusuf Zuck to Xidan rather than the malls around Royal Palace was that she didn’t want him to misconstrue their relationship or think too much into it.

She bought him clothes because she didn’t want others to see her driver looking too shabby.

Yet, even so, she had still hurt Yusuf Zuck’s self-esteem.

“Alright, let’s leave it at that.

I’m not one for nagging.

It’s settled that it’ll be deducted from the salary.

Now, where are we headed?” Yusuf Zuck didn’t continue the conversation with Ruth Wilcox.

He decided to drop the topic there and then.

Ruth Wilcox fell silent again, sighing to herself.

Although Yusuf Zuck was money-grubbing and a downright miser, he had his principles as a person.

In other words, he had the bearing of a man, and a dominant masculinity!

“There’s a supermarket nearby, but if we go by car, we might not find a parking space.

Let’s walk instead, it’s not far.

Then we can head straight home—I also need to tidy up your room for you.” Ruth Wilcox’s voice was much softer now.

The sudden shift in Yusuf Zuck’s mood had left her a bit dazed.

In fact, she quite liked Yusuf Zuck’s brazen and unorthodox nature.

“Hehe, having a beautiful boss to tidy up my room—if I told the guys back at the company, those animals in the Security Department would probably die of jealousy!” Yusuf Zuck laughed again, seemingly having completely forgotten about the previous issue.

“You…

are you alright now?” Ruth Wilcox asked in confusion.

“What’s wrong?

Ms.

Wilcox, do I look handsome or what?” Yusuf Zuck vainly checked himself out in the rearview mirror.

“Get out of the car!” Seeing Yusuf Zuck revert back to his uninhibited manner, Ruth Wilcox rolled her eyes.

This little rascal’s mood changed so quickly; she couldn’t tell if it was real or an act.

However, she felt better having been teased by Yusuf Zuck and her mood seemed to lift.

The two of them got out of the car and walked toward the nearby supermarket, keeping a certain distance between them.

Meanwhile, shortly after they left, a Porsche Cayenne also parked next to the A8.

The driver, wearing a suit and chewing gum, had a cold smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.

He took out his phone, dialed a number, and spoke indifferently, “Make your move tonight, but be careful.

She seems to have hired a bodyguard.”

A deep voice came from the other end of the line, “Mr.

X, make sure you have the money ready.

But don’t mess with me.” It carried a clear warning.

Mr.

X laughed, “Don’t worry, don’t worry.

I know the rules of your world.

Money is not an issue, but there can’t be any loss of life.”

“Heh, of course there won’t be any loss of life.” The person on the phone let out a cold laugh and then hung up, as Mr.

X shrugged and mused, “What a pity, what a pity…”

It was unclear what he found so regrettable.

Soon the Cayenne drove away, while Yusuf Zuck and Ruth Wilcox were shopping for daily necessities in the supermarket.

Yusuf Zuck just pushed the cart, while Ruth Wilcox just picked out items.

After wandering for nearly an hour and piling up a full cart, as they were heading out, Yusuf suddenly said, “Ms.

Wilcox, I just remembered something.”

“What is it?” Ruth asked.

“I have to host a dinner tonight, for the folks at the department, I had promised, what should I do?”

“You?

Inviting others to dinner?

Isn’t it usually the other way around?” Ruth looked at Yusuf as if he were a creature from another world, astonished that he would actually invite people to a meal.

Could that really be true?

“Yeah, I’m hosting.

I get along well with my colleagues from the security department and we never had a chance to dine together.

Today, since I got that extra income of eighteen thousand, I got excited and agreed to it!” Yusuf admitted, somewhat embarrassedly.

“Then go ahead, it’s good to interact more with your colleagues.

Just don’t drive, because if you do, you can’t drink.

And remember, you must be back by nine o’clock.

You know, these past few days it seems like I’ve been targeted and troubles keep coming.

I’m really worried about a burglar or something at home.

I’ll feel more at ease with you there!” Ruth spoke in a down-to-earth manner, very reasonably, without the air of a CEO she usually held at the office—it was like she was a completely different person.

“Alright, I won’t drink and will make sure I’m back by nine.

Thanks, Ms.

Wilcox.

You’re not like what the rumors say at the office.

They all say you’re the cold-hearted goddess, the Tigress, but you’re nothing like that!”

“Hmph,” Ruth snorted lightly, clearly disdainful, as she curled her lip.

Of course, when she was at the company, she had to put on an act, keep a stern face—otherwise, who would be afraid of a woman?

She was only twenty-five and had only recently taken over the company.

So, quite a few veteran employees, who have been there for decades, or some of the old-timers, initially didn’t take her seriously.

Thus, she had to adopt the persona of the cold-hearted goddess, being strict with others and even more so with herself.

Under her management, the company gradually got on the right track.

The Ferreni Subsidiary was just her starting point.

She had to do well here first; only by mastering this step could she aim for greater heights and distances.

“Oh, I have something to tell you too.” After paying the bill and leaving the supermarket with bags in tow, Ruth also suddenly remembered something and said, “Mia, the one who was in my office this morning, she’s going to move in and live with me.

She’s quite willful, so if she says something when she moves in, don’t take it to heart.”

“Ah, so Lara is moving in too?

That’s great, that’s great!

But just to be clear, keep her bodyguard away from me, or it won’t be good if I accidentally squash him while rolling around at night.” Yusuf’s eyes gleamed as he spoke, thinking of the woman who had placed her leg on Ms.

Wilcox’s desk that day—she was certainly a handful.

With a “pfft,” Ruth couldn’t help but laugh at Yusuf’s comment.

What was this about squashing someone?

Did he think he was some giant boulder?

“Don’t worry, that bodyguard has been fired by Mia.”

“Oh, that’s even better, much better!” Yusuf nodded emphatically like a little chicken pecking at grains.

He wasn’t just moving in with one beauty but two!

“I’ve struck gold.

Tonight with telekinesis, whether or not those chicks wear clothes to bed, I’ll be able to see.

Has my spring finally arrived?

But this seems a bit sleazy…” Yusuf had already started fantasizing about his boundless glamorous life.

“What’s better?

I warn you, if you so much as think anything inappropriate, if you have any sleazy thoughts, I’ll fire you on the spot, and you won’t stay in the company either.

This is my bottom line, so you better not cross it!” Ruth’s face turned frosty.

She wasn’t joking; she was dead serious.

Even if she did appreciate Yusuf, if he turned out to be a sleazy pervert, she wouldn’t hesitate to fire him—no negotiations.

“Ms.

Wilcox, you may not know this, but my one true passion in life is…

‘money’!” Yusuf drawled the word out, grinning, “For instance, if there are two beauties on my left and two thousand bucks on my right, guess which one I’d choose?”

“That’s hard to say,” Ruth responded with a curl of her lip.

“There’s nothing uncertain about it; I’d obviously pick the two thousand dollars!

So, you see, you can relax.

I love money more than sex.

To earn your sixty thousand a month and to avoid being fired by you, I’m no longer interested in you or Ms.

Lara.” freёwebnoѵel.com

“So what you’re saying is…

combined, Mia and I aren’t worth sixty thousand?” Ruth’s eyes suddenly widened at this, as Yusuf seemed to insinuate that they weren’t worth much.

“I’m wrongly accused!

You’re the one who told me not to be sleazy, and now you’re blaming me…” Yusuf felt his head swell.

This woman was simply an illogical creature!
