Chapter 957
Lord Protector Novel
Lucius smirked with disdain. âItâs thanks to me that your companyâs made it this far. Whatâs wrong with having her make me a cup of coffee? You canât stand me? Come hit me then.â
Zeke sighed, âYouâre right. Youâre a veteran of the company, so Iâll naturally have to ensure that youâre happy.â
Slap!
He slapped Lucius across the face without any warning.
The slap was so powerful that Lucius had spat out a broken tooth.
Mia was touched.
I was right to stay here, working for Mr. Williams.
Lucius clutched his face and stared at Zeke in disbelief. âYou... Youâd dare hit me? Youâd f****** dare to hit me?â
âDidnât you tell me to? Youâre a company veteran; how could I turn you down?â Zeke replied.
S***!
Gritting his teeth, Lucius spat out. âIâd like to see how long you can keep this up, Zeke Williams. Well, Iâm not going to beat around the bush with you. Trust Media is in utter chaos now. With its reputation completely gone, youâll never be able to sign any more artists. Youâre bound to be bankrupt sooner or later. When that happens, not only will you not gain a single cent, youâll also be left with a huge sum of debt. However, Iâm now offering you a chance to reduce your losses as much as possible.â
âHow disgusting,â Zeke remarked frostily. âYouâre still being thoughtful of me after Iâd hit you? Youâre despicable.â
You motherf*****...
Lucius was infuriated.
He would have stormed off long ago had he not been given this task.
Nonetheless, for the sake of accomplishing his mission, he could only endure the humiliation and stay.
âI suggest that you do something about your company before it goes bankrupt, Williams. I can get you connected with someone. Trust Media is in hot water right now. Anyone who takes over it will have massive losses to deal with, but the fact that someoneâs willing to buy your company over is a blessing.â
Zeke feigned a smile while gazing at Lucius. âOh? Why donât you tell me who wants to buy Trust Media?â
Lucius was secretly elated.
Looks like heâs enticed.
âShe should be here soon,â he replied, glancing at the door.
Lacey sighed despondently and retreated to her office.
Zekeâs decided to sell out the company. Looks like it really canât be saved.
Itâd be best to pack up as soon as possible, to return to Rivermouth.
Soon, a fashionable woman dressed in a white-collar office lady attire, with red heels walked in.
It was Robin Lewis.
With an arrogant look upon her face, she sat down, without even glancing at Zeke when entering.
Lucius quickly welcomed her, âYouâre here, Ms. Lewis.â
Robin nodded. âHow are things going?â
âWeâve discussed matters with Zeke Williams. Heâs decided to sell Trust Media to salvage his losses.â
Lucius turned to Zeke. âThis is the one whom Iâd mentioned, the lady who was willing to buy Trust Media from you, Williams.â
Zeke gazed at Robin and asked faintly, âSo this was all a part of your plan? Which is your real intention... To acquire Trust Media, or to kick me out of Atheville?â
âI donât know what youâre talking about,â Robin replied unwelcomingly. âHurry up and sign the agreement. Iâm a busy woman. I donât have time to hang around here.â
Upon uttering those words, she tossed an agreement at Zeke.
âName your price,â Zeke proclaimed, without even looking at the document.
âTwenty million.â
Zeke chuckled. âYouâre thinking of buying a company worth three billion for a mere twenty million?
Thatâs a little too unbecoming of you.â
