“Colonel Wesley, sirs,
I’m really sorry for getting here so Late. I’m Percy Jameson, the CEO of Jameson Group. Is there a problem?”
When the employees saw that the CEO, the vice president and the general manager were all here, they realized that Wesley was not the guy to mess with.
Although Percy was extremely deferential, Wesley’s sullen face didn’t change. He cast an icy glance at the senior executives and said coldly,

Of course he referred to what Filberta had done to Blair. Filberta knew quite well what she did, and her heart raced wildly in her chest.
Percy’s face changed dramatically. He had heard of Wesley before-Wesley himself was a man of influence in the military circles, and his family was very powerful in Askor. Carlos ran Alorith with an iron fist, and
Wesley wasn’t shy about who his best friend was. Percy was pretty well scared of Wesley.
“It’s all my fault, Wesley. I promise you that I’1L look into it personally.”
No one in the Jameson Group had thought that Blair had ties like that.
She kept such a low profile all the time, kept her head down, and didn’t rock the boat.
“It’s too late for that!” Wesley grabbed Blair’s hand and declared,
“Blair’s my friend, and I don’t allow anyone to mess with her. Give her everything owed her, including bonuses. Now!”
‘My friend…’ Blair looked at Wesley with adoring eyes. She was really touched by his words. Although he just said that she was his friend instead of his girlfriend, she believed that it was just a matter of time before he called her “Hon.” She had to believe that.
Filberta just stood there, frozen, mouth open. The woman thought that all Blair was good at was seducing men. She had to admit that Blair worked very hard, but this didn’t make her likeable.
She flashed back to a twhen Blair wore a certain dress—a limited edition from Tiffany and Co. Very high-priced, and Percy refused to buy it for her. Filberta was so jealous back then that she mocked Blair, spreading rumors that she was wearing a copycat brand, a knockoff version of the original. More cheaply made, and overall cheaper. A woman like Blair couldn’t afford something so expensive. Now she knew she was wrong. Blair had Wesley behind her, and by extension Carlos.

Percy mopped sweat from his forehead and looked at Blair with a hopeful expression.
“Blair, if you want to quit, we can be quite generous.
Stock options, medical insurance, re-employment services, compensation for loss of benefits. You nit, you got it. You’ve always been a hard worker. I’ll personally write a check to-“
Wesley cut him off, “No need for that. Just give Blair her due. No more, no less.” Percy knew exactly what he was talking about. Payment for unused vacation time, severance pay based on months of service, unpaid bonuses, and back pay.
Percy nodded helplessly and turned to his subordinate.
“Ramirez, get the financial manager over here.”
“Yes, Percy.”
It would take a bit for the financial manager to arrive, so Percy offered Wesley a seat. He wasn’t going to put Blair out, so he secretly gestured for the employee next to her to leave and pulled her chair over.
