Chapter 875

Zeke glared at the people who were mocking them and stated coldly, “All of you are fired; you won’t be getting your pay for this month, either. I’ll take it as compensation for the fatso’s fees.”

Pfft!

The crowd burst into laughter. “Do you really think two foreign dogs can amount to anything in Atheville? This is the capital! Anyone here can crush you with their little finger. The two of you can work for your entire lives, but you’ll never be able to get a local account here.”

Lacey’s face turned red with embarrassment and tugged at Zeke’s shirt. “Zeke, that’s enough. Let’s just pay them. They’re right.”

Zeke soothed her, “Be patient, Lacey. When their ex-boss arrives, we’ll decide if we should pay them.”

Fatso asked out of curiosity, “Don’t tell me you know the ex-boss? Oh well, what if you do? Now, it’s the new boss who calls the shots!”

Just then, a slightly plump, bespectacled, middle-aged male walked in.

This man was the previous boss of the company, John Thomson.

John stared at Fatso and the guards in shock, “Why are you guys blocking the door?”

Fatso scoffed, “That’s none of your business.”

John laughed bitterly. Back when I was their boss, they treated me like a king. Now that I’ve been replaced, they’re treating me like dirt.

Fatso suddenly recalled something and enquired, “John, you’ve already been dismissed. Why are you here?”

John replied, “I’m here to pass the transfer agreement to the new boss.”

Fatso questioned, “Where is he? Didn’t he come with you?”

John responded, “He’s already here.”

Everyone looked around but saw no unfamiliar faces.

Fatso continued, “So, who is the new boss?”

John walked over to Zeke’s side and offered him a deep bow. He then passed him the contract and said, “Mr. Williams, please sign here. After this, the company will be yours.”

“Alright,” Zeke took the contract. He scrutinized it to check if there were any traps in it.

What? Everyone stared at Zeke in disbelief. This foreigner is our new boss? How powerful must this guy be for his influence to extend even to the capital?

Fatso scoffed, “That’s none of your business.”

John laughed bitterly. Back when I was their boss, they treated me like a king. Now that I’ve been replaced, they’re treating me like dirt.

The only sound left in the room was the rustling of papers as Zeke flipped through the contract.

After a short period, Zeke passed the contract to Lacey and told her, “Lacey, take a look at this contract. My head hurts.”

Lacey was stunned and did not respond. Since when was Zeke so powerful even in Atheville? He’s never been here before. How did he just take down such a large firm?

She only came to her senses after Zeke called out to her several times.

She picked up the contract and read it seriously.

Fatso and the security guards silently backed away from the door.

That man is the boss. He owns the entire place! What are we doing blocking the door?

The employees who had mocked Zeke earlier turned silent in embarrassment.

Their career was finished now that they had offended their new boss.

After pulling himself together, Fatso shamelessly said, “Ah, so this was all a misunderstanding. I’m sorry, Mr. Williams, I didn’t know you were the new boss. Please don’t hold it against me.”
