Chapter 1655
The First Heir
âI canât afford to have you calling me Brother Clarke.â
Philip sneered and said, âYouâre the manager of the public relations department of the Uppercreek
Chamber of Commerce. Who am I? A loser whoâs applying for a job as a security guard.â
Ruby knew that Philip was making fun of her ignorance. With a self-conscious look, she thought about
it and once again bent over to apologize. âBrother Clarke, I really made a horrible mistake this time. I
was blind and looked down on you. I beg you, on account of my past relationship with Howard, please
donât drive me away.â
Ruby was afraid. It had not been easy for her to get a job with a high salary and prestige. If she lost this
job, she would surely regret it!
Philip glanced at Ruby and waved his hand. âI donât want to see you again.â
Then, he turned to Dave Carter, the security captain who was standing at the side.
At this time, Dave looked as if he had seen a ghost. He quickly bent down and apologized, âYoung
Master Clarke, Iâm sorry. I deserve to die!â
With that said, Dave slapped himself on the mouth. That was a drastic move.
However, Philip only said coldly, âYouâre fired.â
After that, he ignored Daveâs glum face and walked into the building of Uppercreek Chamber of
Commerce. Hoyt followed closely behind.
Ruby felt as if she had just been fished out of the water as her legs were as weak as jelly. She looked
at Philipâs back as he went inside. Her heart tightened as she glanced at Dave who had fallen limply on
the ground. Then, she raised her legs and swayed her hips as she caught up with Philip in front.
A group of people was following Philip respectfully, making it a grand sight.
All the lower-level employees of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce stood up and respectfully
greeted Philip. Then, a lot of discussions broke out.
Ruby followed closely behind, looking very prim and proper as she stepped on her high heels.
It must be said that the building of Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce looked very imposing! The
furnishings inside were magnificent, grand, and extravagant.
Soon, they arrived at the directorâs office on the top floor.
âY-Young Master Clarke.â
At this time, Ruby displayed her great flattery skills. Carrying a pot of freshly brewed coffee, she walked
up to Philip, bent over, and handed it to him respectfully. While handing the coffee over, Ruby
deliberately widened the neckline of her blouse.
Philip noticed it and sneered inwardly but said nothing.
To be honest, Ruby was good-looking and was known among the ladies of Riverdale. Her appearance
and figure were exactly what the rich young kids coveted. However, in Philipâs eyes, Wynn Johnston
was the most beautiful woman. Other women could only stand on the sidelines, much less succeed in
seducing him.
He was neither a Casanova nor a bootlicker.
âYoung Master Clarke, Iâd like to apologize to you again. I was wrong.â
Biting her sexy red lip, Ruby bowed again and said, âTo express my apologies, can I invite you to
dinner?â
Dinner?
Philip glanced at Ruby and said lightly, âDinner wonât be necessary.â
Hearing this, Ruby pouted and felt a little dejected.
She was doing this just to seduce Philip.
Who would have thought mat a former loser would actually be the founder of the Uppercreek Chamber
of Commerce?!
It would be strange if she did not do her best to go after such a good catch.
âWill you still fire meâ¦â Ruby asked again with a weak voice, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.
Philip took a sip of coffee and thought for a moment before saying, âIt depends on the situation. If you
perform well, you can continue to stay here and work. If you make a mistake one dayâ¦â
âYoung Master Clarke, donât worry, Iâll do my best to work for the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce
and Director Luther! Iâm willing to do anything as long as you request it!â
Ruby vowed immediately.
âAnything?â
Philip was amused and was about to play a prank on Ruby when Hoyt approached.
âYoung Master Clarke, Martin Johnstonâs son, Liam Johnston, is here and waiting downstairs. Do you
want to meet him?â
Philip was taken aback and immediately understood. A faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
âLiam Johnston, heheâ¦â
