Linus looked like he wanted to eat Thea up right there and then. 

Ever since he became the manager, he had slept with countless women, offering them benefits with his role. 

At first, most of them rejected him. 

However, after a while, they started to offer themselves up to him to gain access to deals, partnerships, and other benefits. 

Jane was keen to make Linus’ plan a success as well. Making him happy was imperative to her own benefit. 

 

She walked up to Thea and pulled her aside. “Thea, I know that you’ve suffered over the years. Now that you’re beautiful again, you have to use your looks to your advantage. We won’t stay young forever, you know? Once this golden period is gone, we’ll never get it back.” 

“I’m married. I won’t do it.” Thea refused to give in. 

Jane lost her temper. “Who do you think you are, Thea? Don’t you know it’s an honor that Linus likes you? If you offend him, you can forget about working with Celestial Group. Forever.” 

“Jamie…” 

Thea walked over to James. 

James ignored Linus and Jane, gesturing toward the entrance. “Go on,” he said. “You’re meeting the chairman, not a lowly manager. Just ignore him.” 

“Who are you, boy?” Linus looked at James coldly. 

“F*ck off.” 

James only had two words to say to him. 

He was still the legendary Dragon General of the Southern Plains after all. Linus was a complete nobody. 

In the chairman’s office on the top floor of the Celestial Group building. 

Alex had been waiting for Thea since morning. 

After all this time, she still had not shown up. 

Being extremely anxious, he went downstairs to the first floor, checking with reception if a woman named Thea Callahan had asked to see him. The reception confirmed that no one by that name had come by. 

Oh sh*t, he thought. Thea was the Dragon General’s wife. If he had somehow missed her or messed this up, not even the power the Yates name had could protect him. 

Alex exited the building, planning to wait at the entrance for Thea. 

As soon as he walked out, he saw his manager speaking to two people. He glanced over and noticed James. He shuddered involuntarily, his knees almost buckling. Wiping the sweat from his face, he quickly made his way over to them. 

“Gen…” 

Before he could finish, James glared at him. 

Alex understood at once, quickly stopping himself.
