34 -34: A Very Emotional Boss

“Is this a million?” Opening the briefcase Fleur Carson handed over, the case was filled with neat stacks of hundred-dollar bills, all bundled up, glaringly red.

It was the first time Yusuf Zuck had seen so much money, the first time he was holding so much money.

“How about that, brother, I’m good to my word, right?

I paid you in full!” Fleur Carson said with a small cigarette dangling from his lips.

“Haha, then I certainly won’t be shy!” Yusuf Zuck closed the briefcase and hugged it tightly.

Indeed, Fleur Carson was right, he had only considered the good side of things, but hadn’t thought about the bad!

If…

if he and Fleur Carson both ended up dead while trying to save someone, what would happen to his sister?

And what about this million dollars?

If the two of them died, who knows which bastard would end up with this million — so he had to take it, it was a must!

“Wait here, I’ll take this money to my boss.

If we make it back alive, I’ll return it to you.

If not, I’ll have Ms.

Wilcox give it to my sister!”

“Aren’t you afraid your boss will swindle you out of the money?” asked Fleur Carson.

“No.” Yusuf Zuck shook his head.

Trust was a mysterious thing, just like he trusted Fleur Carson completely, he also trusted Ruth Wilcox fully.

People say you can’t see what’s inside someone’s heart, but he felt like he could.

He carried the briefcase out of the car and, after greeting the few night-shift cashiers in the lobby, he went straight to the elevator.

It was just after seven in the morning, and the shift hadn’t changed yet; many people hadn’t arrived, so the elevator was empty.

All the way to the twenty-eighth floor, and as the elevator doors opened, Yusuf Zuck abruptly found that Leo King was still there on the twenty-eighth floor.

He stood in the corridor, back straight as an arrow, fired up as if he’d been injected with chicken blood, absolutely lively!

“Zuck…

Zuck…

Zuck…” Seeing Yusuf Zuck walking out of the elevator, Leo King started stammering nonstop.

He was trying to speak, but he couldn’t get the words out!

“Grandpa, could you please sing it?” Yusuf Zuck begged for mercy.

No one could deal with Leo King; if you let him keep on with his ‘Zuck, Zuck, Zuck,’ he could keep it up until noon.

“Zuck is here, Ms.

Wilcox asked me not to leave, to wait until everyone else got to work before I go…” His singing was much worse than his crying.

“Then carry on, keep it up.” Yusuf Zuck instantly understood.

The twenty-eighth floor was deserted, not even the secretary was there, so Ruth Wilcox must have felt a bit scared being up there alone, hence she had Leo King stand guard, for her peace of mind.

When Yusuf Zuck got to the door of Ruth Wilcox’s office, he gently knocked three times.

“Who is it?” Ruth Wilcox asked from inside.

“Yusuf Zuck.” Yusuf Zuck called out.

“Oh, come in.” Hearing it was Yusuf Zuck, Ruth Wilcox immediately invited him in.

“Why are you here?

Is there a problem?” Ruth Wilcox looked surprised upon seeing Yusuf Zuck carrying a briefcase.

“A million, for you to keep safe!” Yusuf Zuck placed the briefcase on the table and said.

“What did you say?” Hearing that Yusuf Zuck brought a million, Ruth Wilcox was shocked.

Whose million was this, what was going on?

“A friend’s money, can you just keep it for me in your office safe?

Don’t deposit it in the bank.

Also, I might have to go out for a bit today, either during the day or at night.

If I haven’t come back by the next day, give this money to my sister, okay?

She’s a freshman in the Performance Department at Beiying, her name is Sara Zuck.” While Yusuf Zuck spoke, he picked up pen and paper from his desk, jotting down his sister’s name, mobile number, and dormitory details.

“What’s going on with you?” Ruth Wilcox stood up, her expression very serious.

She wasn’t a fool and had a faint hunch that something was going to happen. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Yusuf Zuck was planning for the worst!

“Nothing major, just asking for a small favor.

If I come back, I’ll retrieve the money and return it to my friend!” Yusuf Zuck didn’t want to explain, for he simply couldn’t.

Ruth Wilcox said coldly, “If you don’t clarify things, I won’t keep your money.

Plus, you are my driver and bodyguard now, you can’t leave for twenty-four hours.

So you can’t go anywhere without explaining!”

“Ms.

Wilcox, it’s a personal matter, I can’t tell.” Yusuf Zuck stubbornly shook his head.

He and Fleur Carson were going to rescue someone, to face off with assassins.

Revealing this would be too frightening.

“Fine, since it’s personal, I won’t ask.

But what about my safety?” Ruth Wilcox persisted.

Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment and said, “You can rest assured about your safety, I’ll find someone to protect you.

It might not even take that long, maybe I’ll be back before you’re off work.”

“Alright, you’ve said it, finish your personal business before you’re off work, and you must come back with me tonight.” Ruth Wilcox’s face flushed a little when she said this, why did her words sound so awkward?

“No way, I’m afraid I won’t be able to return tonight.” Yusuf Zuck shook his head.

Fleur had to wait for a call during the day, so even if the call came, the meeting would likely be set for the evening.

Tonight was critical!

“Okay then, I don’t care when you come back or when you leave.

I can give you the leave, but you have to promise me a few things!” Ruth Wilcox knew that her driver-cum-bodyguard was not like Leo King Mia; Yusuf Zuck was an unyielding and proud man.

If she insisted on stopping him, the two of them would surely argue.

This security guard did not care whether she was the boss or not!

“Ms.

Wilcox, please speak!” Yusuf Zuck saluted crisply, realizing that Ms.

Wilcox was being quite considerate without saying anything.

“First, you can’t do anything illegal!” Ruth Wilcox said with a stern face.

“Don’t worry, Ms.

Wilcox, I’m leading such a good life now, making plenty of money, why would I do anything illegal?

Never!” Yusuf Zuck readily agreed.

“Second, no matter what you’re going to do, you must come back.

You must return within thirty-six hours, or I’m keeping the million for myself, not giving it to your sister!”

“Third…

never mind, there is no third.

Yusuf Zuck, no matter what you’re off to do, just be careful.

After yesterday’s incident, I know you’re capable, but don’t be blindly arrogant, you…

take care of yourself.” Ruth Wilcox’s tone suddenly softened, and after giving Yusuf Zuck a lingering look, she sat back down, appearing very tired.

“Ms.

Wilcox, it’s been a pleasure to meet you.” Yusuf Zuck felt a sudden warmth in his heart; he could tell that Ruth Wilcox cared for him.

Although it wasn’t in a romantic way, it was indeed sincere.

It was rare, truly rare to encounter such a female boss, rare to find an intellectual and empathetic female superior in a cutthroat office environment!

Putting off his cynicism, he assured her, “Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal.

I promised to do a favor for a friend and can’t go back on my word.

The matter will be resolved tonight, and I will definitely return by tomorrow morning.”

“Hmm, you don’t have to find another driver for me, I won’t be going home tonight.

I’ll call Mia this afternoon and ask her to stay with me at the company.

To be honest, I’m kind of scared without you coming home with me.” Her words were not meant to be ambiguous or shy; after the kidnapping the night before, she was genuinely afraid of Yusuf Zuck leaving, truly afraid of her house being without a man!

Perhaps a bodyguard or driver could be replaced, even with someone more professional and better, but through interactions with Yusuf Zuck, he had provided her with a sense of safety and trust.

And these feelings were not something just anyone could give.

“Alright, that’s even better.

Thank you for understanding, Ms.

Wilcox.

If anyone bullies you in the future, I, Yusuf Zuck, will not let them off easily.” Grateful, Yusuf Zuck glanced at Ruth Wilcox, then turned and left.
